Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of structural engineering technology, specifically a novel prefabricated steel structure column-column splicing node with self-locking capability. Background Technology

[0002] Steel structure buildings will develop rapidly, but the main technical challenges of prefabricated steel structure buildings are concentrated in the joint area. For the column-to-column connection of steel structures, the current main methods are on-site welding or bolting. If a bolted connection system is used, a node plate needs to be installed in the column joint area. If welding is used, the on-site weld is prone to corrosion, affecting the strength. Moreover, both methods have low construction efficiency and high construction costs. Furthermore, due to the lack of a self-locking mechanism, the corresponding positions may shift under external disturbances on site, affecting installation and subsequent service strength, as well as the appearance and inconvenience for subsequent decoration and other secondary work. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a novel prefabricated steel structure column-column splicing node with self-locking capability. This invention employs a novel connection method that enables self-locking between columns during installation. The pin installation is very simple, and the self-locking mechanism eliminates the influence of external force disturbances during installation and significantly improves the node strength during later use. The structure is easy to install, greatly improving on-site construction efficiency and reducing construction difficulty, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing costs.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] A novel prefabricated steel structure column-column splicing node with self-locking capability includes an upper column assembly, a lower column assembly, a novel self-locking pin, and a node shell. The upper column assembly includes a steel column, an end plate, and a cone head; the lower column assembly includes a steel column, an end plate, and a column end sleeve. Both the cone head and the column end sleeve have pre-drilled holes for the self-locking pin at corresponding positions. The upper and lower column assemblies are welded together in the factory.

The sleeve wall thickness is increased; a first limiting shaft pre-drilled hole is provided on the inner wall near the bottom of the pin pre-drilled hole on the cone head; a new type of self-locking pin is inserted into the corresponding pin pre-drilled holes of the cone head and the column end sleeve. The new type of self-locking pin is equipped with a limiting shaft with elastic function. When the new type of self-locking pin is not locked, the limiting shaft on it will not pop out; when the new type of self-locking pin is locked, the limiting shaft on it pops out and is locked in the first limiting shaft pre-drilled hole on the cone head to achieve self-locking; the node shell is fitted at the connection between the cone head and the column end sleeve.

A platform is provided on the inner wall of the circular groove, and one end of the spring is connected to the platform. The slider is a solid isosceles trapezoidal prism, and the slider is set inside the circular groove. The lower base of the slider is connected to the other end of the spring. Three... All the limiting shafts are located in the circular groove. When in the unlocked state, the outer ends of the three limiting shafts pass through the three second limiting shaft pre-drilled holes on the circular groove and are abutted against the inner wall of the pin sleeve. The inner ends of the three limiting shafts abut against the top bottom and two waist positions of the slider, and the spring is compressed. When in the locked state, the circular groove and the pin sleeve rotate relative to each other until the three second limiting shaft pre-drilled holes on them coincide. The outer ends of the three limiting shafts pass through the coincident second limiting shaft pre-drilled holes on the circular groove and the pin sleeve, and the inner ends of the three limiting shafts abut against the top bottom and two waist positions of the slider.

The distance from the center of the pre-drilled hole on the cone head to the end plate is equal to the distance from the center of the pre-drilled hole on the column end sleeve to the cylinder opening, and the radius of the pre-drilled hole on the cone head is the same as the radius of the pre-drilled hole on the column end sleeve.

[0008] Furthermore, the cone head of the upper column assembly is a solid component, and the distance between the first limiting shaft reserved hole in the pin reserved hole on the cone head and the bottom of the pin reserved hole is equal to the distance between the second limiting shaft reserved hole on the circular groove and the groove opening and the cylinder opening.

[0009] Furthermore, the length of the load-bearing section of the new self-locking pin is greater than twice the wall thickness of the column end sleeve of the lower column assembly, and the diameter of the cross-section circle of the load-bearing section is greater than the outer diameter of the circular groove of the self-locking section; the outer diameter of the pin sleeve is the same as the diameter of the cross-section circle of the load-bearing section, the inner diameter of the pin sleeve is the same as the outer diameter of the circular groove, the height of the pin sleeve is the same as the height of the circular groove, and the opening radius of the second limiting shaft reserved hole on the pin sleeve is greater than the opening radius of the second limiting shaft reserved hole on the circular groove;

[0011] Of the three limiting shafts, the inner ends of two of them are inclined surfaces, and the angle of the inclined surfaces is the same as the angle of the waist of the slider.

[0012] Furthermore, the node shell includes a left half shell and a right half shell that are mated together, and the mating points on both sides of the left half shell and the right half shell are connected and fixed by locking devices.

[0013] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes a left plate and a right plate that are mated together. The left plate has a left arc-shaped slide rail, the opening of which is located above the mating edge of the left plate. A left locking tongue is connected to the left plate, consisting of a slide rod and a stop rod, arranged in an L-shape. The corner of the left locking tongue is hinged to the left plate via a hinge shaft, the hinge point being located below the mating edge of the left plate. When the left locking tongue rotates around the hinge shaft, the movement trajectory of the slide rod end coincides with the trajectory of the left arc-shaped slide rail. A bolt hole is provided at the end of the slide rod, and a connecting thread is provided inside the left arc-shaped slide rail. The right plate has... The right circular arc slide has its opening located below the mating edge of the right plate. A right locking tongue is connected to the right plate, consisting of a slide rod and a stop rod, arranged in an L-shape. The corner of the right locking tongue is hinged to the right plate via a hinge shaft, with the hinge point located above the mating edge of the right plate. When the right locking tongue rotates around the hinge shaft, the movement trajectory of the slide rod end coincides with the trajectory of the right circular arc slide. A bolt hole is provided at the end of the slide rod, and a connecting thread is provided inside the right circular arc slide.

The column ends of both the upper and lower column assemblies can have any cross-section, and the end plate form is selected according to the actual project. The column ends and end plates, and the end plates and conical heads or column end sleeves are welded in the factory.

The novel self-locking pin is pushed inward into the aligned pin's pre-drilled holes, and the novel self-locking pin is rotated until a spring pops out, indicating that the novel self-locking pin installation is complete. The novel self-locking pin installation steps are repeated to complete the installation of each novel self-locking pin. Finally, the node shell is fitted on to complete the node shell installation.

The corner of the left locking tongue 24 is hinged to the left plate 21 via a hinge shaft 27, with the hinge point located below the mating edge of the left plate 21. When the left locking tongue 24 rotates around the hinge shaft 27, the movement trajectory of the end of the slide rod 25 coincides with the trajectory of the left arc-shaped slide rail 23.
