[0002] With the continuous improvement of my country's steel structure design technology and the increasingly novel structural forms, steel castings are used in building steel structures with complex node structures and concentrated forces due to their advantages of high bearing capacity, high rigidity and good seismic performance. Moreover, steel castings are also flexible in design, and have the greatest freedom of choice in shape and size. In particular, special-shaped complex shapes and hollow parts can be manufactured by the unique process of core steel castings, and finished products can be quickly produced according to drawings. Steel castings improve the overall structural strength according to the needs of the project, and coupled with weight-reducing design and shorter delivery time, they greatly save production time, improve construction efficiency and shorten construction time.

[0028] Figure 1-Figure 4 An embodiment of a movable steel structure special-shaped cast steel node of the present invention is shown.

[0029] In this optional embodiment, the movable steel structure special-shaped cast steel node includes a first support tube 1, and a second support tube 2 and a third support tube 3 are sequentially arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the first support tube 1, and a fourth support tube 4 is arranged between the second support tube 2 and the third support tube 3; both ends of the first support tube 1, the top of the second support tube 2, the top of the third support tube 3 and the top of the fourth support tube 4 are all provided with guide limit assemblies 5; two groups of connecting ears 6 are also arranged on the outer side of the middle part of the first support tube 1, and the connecting ears 6 are located on the back side of the middle part of the first support tube 1, and the ends of the connecting ears 6 away from the first support tube 1 are movably connected with a connecting tube 8 matching therewith. In specific applications, the connecting tube 8 is connected to the inclined column by a number of fixing bolts or welding, and the connected inclined tube can present a swing angle of 3°-5° through the action of the connecting ears 6 and the connecting tube 8.

[0030] Specifically, the material of the connecting ear of the steel casting is Q345B, the allowable tensile stress is [σ]L=295MPa, the allowable contact stress is [σ]c=400MPa, the allowable shear stress is [τ]L=170MPa, and the dynamic load comprehensive coefficient is K=2. Combined with the weight of the maximum steel casting, the size of the connecting ear of the steel casting is selected as follows: the diameter of the top semicircle R1=80mm, the inner diameter of the pin hole R2=25mm, the overall height L1=200mm, the overall length L2=160mm, the thickness T=20mm, the number of connecting ears n=2, the horizontal angle of the rigging α=60°, the horizontal projection angle β=10°, and F=78000N.

[0032] Cable direction load F L =F v / sinα = 45 kN;

[0033] Horizontal load F H =F L *cosα=22.5KN;

[0034] Maximum stress in the sling direction σL=F L / (2*(R1-R2)*T)=21MPa<[σ]L=295MPa, meeting the requirements;

[0035] Maximum shear stress in the sling direction τL=F L / [(R1-R2)*T]=42MPa<[τ]L=170MPa, meeting the requirements;

[0036] Contact stress σc=F L / (2*R2*T)=45MPa<[σ]c=400MPa, meeting the requirements;

[0037] Vertical tensile stress of the lifting lug σv=F v / (2*R1*T)=13MPa<300MPa, meets the requirements;

[0038] It can be concluded that the bearing capacity of the connecting ear meets the requirements. The connecting ear is welded according to the first-level full penetration weld. After welding, ultrasonic flaw detection is carried out. Only after the test is qualified can the next step be carried out.

[0039] With the aid of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the present invention, by providing the guide limit assembly 5, the connecting ear 6 and the connecting tube 8, not only can the guide limit assembly 5 play a guiding and limiting role in the process of connecting with the steel pipe, but also the connecting tube 8 can facilitate the connection with the inclined tube. At the same time, due to the presence of the connecting ear 6 and the connecting tube 8, the inclined tube can achieve a small range of swing effect, thereby having a certain anti-seismic effect, and better meeting the connection requirements between steel pipes.

[0040] In this optional embodiment, the diameters of the first support tube 1, the second support tube 2 and the fourth support tube 4 gradually decrease, and the diameters of the second support tube 2 and the third support tube 3 are equal. The second support tube 2, the third support tube 3 and the fourth support tube 4 are all perpendicular to the first support tube 1. The second support tube 2 and the third support tube 3 are arranged at an obtuse angle, and the fourth support tube 4 is located in the middle of the second support tube 2 and the third support tube 3. A plurality of fixing rings 7 are arranged inside the first support tube 1, the second support tube 2, the third support tube 3 and the fourth support tube 4, so as to facilitate the connection between the steel tubes.

[0041] In this optional embodiment, the guide and limit assembly 5 includes a guide ring 501 installed at both ends of the first support tube 1, the top of the second support tube 2, the top of the third support tube 3 and the top of the fourth support tube 4. The outer side of the guide ring 501 is evenly provided with a plurality of installation grooves 502, and the interior of the installation grooves 502 is provided with a limit strip 503 that matches therewith; both ends of the limit strip 503 close to the inner wall of the installation groove 502 are provided with a limit block 504, and the side of the limit strip 503 close to the inner wall of the installation groove 502 is evenly provided with a plurality of rectangular grooves 505, and the interior of the rectangular grooves 505 is provided with a spring 506, and the side of the limit strip 503 away from the installation groove 502 is evenly provided with an anti-slip pattern 507. The diameters of the guide rings 501 on the first support tube 1, the second support tube 2 and the fourth support tube 4 gradually decrease, and the diameters of the guide ring 501 on the second support tube 2 and the guide ring 501 on the third support tube 3 are equal. The diameters of the guide rings 501 on the first support tube 1, the second support tube 2 and the fourth support tube 4 are all smaller than their own diameters. The two groups of connecting ears 6 are arranged at an obtuse angle, the connecting ears 6 are arranged at an obtuse angle with the first support tube 1, and the connecting ears 6 are arranged obliquely from the first support tube 1 toward the direction away from the first support tube 1. By providing the guide limit assembly 5, not only can the connection of the steel pipe be guided under the action of the guide ring 501, but also a certain limit effect can be played on the connected steel pipe under the action of the spring 506 and the limit strip 503, thereby better meeting the connection requirements between the steel pipes.

[0042] In specific application, the key points of operation of the special-shaped cast steel node of the present invention during processing and production include:

[0043] 1. The production process of steel castings mainly includes two parts: the front-end production process and the back-end process. The front-end production process includes molding and core making, baking and coating, box assembly (mold matching), smelting and pouring. The back-end process mainly includes box unpacking, sand removal, sand cleaning, gas cutting, shot blasting, carbon planing (digging defects), heat treatment, finishing and rust prevention treatment.

[0044] 2. The steel castings are processed and produced in the foundry according to the above-mentioned production process, and the raw materials of the steel castings are tested with an ultrasonic flaw detector. After the flaw detectors have completed the inspection and the supervisor has confirmed that the steel castings are qualified, the finished steel castings can be sent to the steel structure manufacturer for the next production process.

[0045] 3. Steel castings and spherical plain bearings are stamped using a special process at the steel structure manufacturer. The spherical plain bearings are installed on the steel castings according to the design requirements of the drawings, and their swing angle is guaranteed to be 3°-5° to meet the actual installation requirements of the inclined columns on site.

[0046] 4. Special-shaped spherical plain bearing castings should be accompanied by a quality inspection certificate when leaving the factory. After the materials arrive at the site, they should be subjected to size and shape inspection, internal structure inspection, wall thickness inspection, and ultrasonic (magnetic particle) flaw detection of the castings to ensure that the castings are fully qualified and free of defects before they can be used.

[0047] 5. To ensure the safety, applicability and economic rationality of the nodes, the finite element software ANSYS is used to analyze the bearing capacity of the cast steel nodes. According to the overall analysis results, the cast steel nodes with the largest force under the most unfavorable combination are selected for analysis. The column foot node and the column head node have the same cross-section, and the node with the largest force is selected for verification; for the other nodes with similar shapes and cross-sectional specifications, the node with the largest force is selected for verification. The cast steel nodes connected to the steel columns are analyzed according to the relevant requirements of seismic performance-based design. Since the structure is symmetrically arranged, the nodes on the left half of the overall model are selected for analysis.

[0048] The selection of analysis models and material properties are in accordance with the original design description of cast steel nodes, the Technical Specification for Application of Cast Steel Nodes (CECS235:2008) and the Technical Specification for Cast Steel Structures (JGJ / T 395-2017). The material of the cast steel is G20Mn5N, and the heat treatment state is normalizing. The elastic modulus of the material Es = 206000MPa, the Poisson's ratio μ = 0.3, and its material properties are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The bilinear model is used for the cast steel material properties during calculation. The elastic modulus of cast steel Es = 206000MPa, the yield strength is 300MPa, and after entering the elastic-plastic stage, the bilinear isotropic kinematic hardening constitutive relationship is adopted, and the strengthening modulus is 5% of the initial modulus, which is 10000MPa.

[0052]

[0053]

[0054] According to the results of the Midas overall analysis, the most unfavorable combination of internal forces is selected, and the axial force, bending moment, shear force, and torque are converted into loads in the overall coordinate system, and applied through the virtual MASS21 unit and rigid connection with the end node; the column head node, which mainly bears axial pressure, converts the pressure into surface pressure and applies it to the pressure-bearing surface. The finite element analysis of the cast steel node uses solid units, and the calculation of the present invention uses the 10-node tetrahedral solid unit SOLID92 in ANSYS.

[0055] Conclusion: According to the calculation results, the maximum von-mises stress at the node is 165.4N / mm 2 <405N / mm 2 The main manifestation is the hole wall bearing pressure, with a maximum deformation of 0.34mm; the maximum stress in other parts is 115.3N / mm 2 , less than the design strength 1.1*230 / 0.9=281N / mm 2 , meeting the requirements.

[0056] To sum up, with the aid of the above-mentioned technical scheme of the present invention, by providing the guide limit assembly 5, the connecting ear 6 and the connecting tube 8, not only can the guide limit assembly 5 play a guiding and limiting effect in the process of connecting with the steel pipe, but also the connecting tube 8 can facilitate the connection with the inclined tube. At the same time, due to the presence of the connecting ear 6 and the connecting tube 8, the inclined tube can achieve a small range of swing effect, and then can play a certain anti-seismic effect, so as to better meet the connection requirements between steel pipes.

[0057] In addition, by providing a guide and limit assembly 5, not only can the guide ring 501 play a guiding effect on the connection of the steel pipe, but also the spring 506 and the limit bar 503 can play a certain limiting effect on the connected steel pipe, thereby better meeting the connection requirements between steel pipes.
