Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of tension membrane connectors, and particularly relates to a multi-directional adjustment connector for tension membrane connection and an implementation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The tension membrane is a new type of building structure developed in the mid-20th century. It is composed of a variety of high-strength thin film materials and strengthening components (steel frames, steel columns or steel cables). Through a certain method, a certain pre-tension stress is generated inside to form a certain spatial shape, serving as a covering structure and being able to bear a certain external load, which is a kind of spatial structure form.

[0003] In the existing tension membranes, the connectors usually use separate steel cables for tensioning, and cannot adjust the flatness and tensile force of the membrane, resulting in uneven and insufficient stress on the tension membrane, making the flatness of the membrane insufficient and local collapse may occur; or the method of heat-sealing the steel cable on the membrane edge and then tightening the membrane through a tension adjustment component is adopted. This method has a complex structure, high cost, and cumbersome shape.

[0004] In addition, during the installation of the tension membrane structure, there will also be situations where the tension is insufficient and the collapse is serious due to the construction errors of the external structure, resulting in extremely unbeautiful appearance and inconvenient adjustment.

A multi-directional adjustment connector for tension membrane connection provided by the present invention has the characteristics of avoiding the problems of insufficient flatness and collapse during the installation of the tension membrane.

[0006] Another purpose of the present invention is to provide an implementation method of a multi-directional adjustment connector for tension membrane connection.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A multi-directional adjustment connector for tension membrane connection includes a disc. A plurality of horizontal adjustment rods for providing horizontal displacement adjustment for the tension membrane are arranged in a circular array on the circumference of the disc. The end of the horizontal adjustment rod is connected with a tension membrane connector. A vertical adjustment rod for providing vertical displacement adjustment for the tension membrane is connected to the middle position above the disc, and the upper end of the vertical adjustment rod is connected with a base.

[0008] The end of the horizontal adjustment rod is connected with a connecting seat. A slot is provided inside the connecting seat, and a limit screw is provided at the open end of the slot. Nuts are engaged at both ends of the limit screw.

[0012] In order to adjust the displacement of the tension membrane in the vertical direction, furthermore, the base includes a seat body, a threaded sleeve is connected to the bottom of the seat body, the vertical adjusting rod is a vertical adjusting screw, and the vertical adjusting screw is threadedly engaged with the threaded sleeve.

[0013] In order to adjust the angle of the disc, provide an angle margin for the tension membrane construction, and make the entire installation process smoother, furthermore, the threaded sleeve and the seat body are connected by a bearing.

[0014] In order to enable the connecting seat to be adjusted at multiple angles, provide an angle margin for the tension membrane construction, and make the entire installation process smoother, furthermore, the middle position of the horizontal adjusting screw is connected by a universal ball head.

[0015] In order to provide a displacement adjustment for the tension membrane in the horizontal direction, furthermore, the horizontal adjusting rod is a spring buckle, and hooks are connected to both ends of the spring buckle.

[0016] Furthermore, in the present invention, a method for implementing a multi-directional adjusting connector for tension membrane connection includes the following steps:

[0019] (3) Adjust the tension membrane in the horizontal direction by adjusting the horizontal adjusting rod;
