[0031] The fixed cylinder 22 is also provided with an operating component 3. The operating component 3 includes a connecting plate 31 fixedly connected to the drive shaft 211, and a first ball joint 35 slidably disposed inside the drive shaft 211. A connecting rod 38 is fixedly installed on the end face of the first ball joint 35. A friction block 37 is fixedly installed on the end of the connecting rod 38, and a first spring 36 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting rod 38. The end of the first spring 36 is also fixedly connected to the drive shaft 211. A slide rod 33 is slidably disposed on the connecting plate 31. A spherical protrusion 34 is fixedly installed on the side of the slide rod 33. A stop block 310 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the slide rod 33. A second ball joint 312 and a third ball joint 315 are slidably disposed inside the slide rod 33. A first convex plate 313 is fixedly installed on the body of the second ball joint 312. A second spring 314 is disposed between the first convex plate 313 and the slide rod 33. A second ball joint 312 passes through the end of the slide rod 33 and is fixedly installed with a... A second convex plate 317 is fixedly installed on the body of the pull ring 311 and the third ball head rod 315. A third spring 316 is provided between the second convex plate 317 and the slide rod 33. An insert block 39 is fixedly installed at the end of the third ball head rod 315. An auxiliary roller 32 is rotatably provided on the slide rod 33. The outer surface of the auxiliary roller 32 is provided with anti-slip texture, which facilitates the user to make corresponding adjustments using the auxiliary roller 32 to meet the actual use requirements. There are two insert blocks 39. The two insert blocks 39 can be inserted into the connecting plate 31. The drive shaft 211 is provided with a sliding groove for passing through both ends of the connecting rod 38. Both ends of the sliding groove are closed. The friction block 37 is a ring structure design. The side of the friction block 37 is provided with friction texture to enhance the friction. The two ends of the second spring 314 are fixedly connected to the first convex plate 313 and the slide rod 33 respectively. The two ends of the third spring 316 are fixedly connected to the second convex plate 317 and the slide rod 33 respectively.

[0032] Working principle: Ribs 16 are set inside the sphere 11, and anchor bolts 12 connected to the grid are welded on the sphere 11. At the same time, pouring holes 13 and ventilation holes 14 are opened on the sphere 11, so steel fiber concrete can be poured into the sphere 11 to improve the strength of the entire node structure 1.When the height of node structure 1 needs to be adjusted, pull the pull ring 311. The second ball joint 312, which is fixedly connected to the slide rod 33, slides inside the slide rod 33, causing the ball end of the second ball joint 312 to disengage from the ball end of the third ball joint 315. Because the end of the third ball joint 315 is fixed with a plug block 39 that can be inserted into the connecting plate 31, and the body of the third ball joint 315 is fixed with a second protruding plate 317, the second protruding plate 317 which is slidably connected to the slide rod 33 is further connected to the slide rod 33 by a third spring 316. Under the tension of the third spring 316, the plug block 39 can be pulled to slide into the slide rod 33, causing the plug block 39 to disengage from the connecting plate 31. At this time, the slide rod 33 can be pushed to slide on the connecting plate 31, so that the slide rod 33 is in a position where... At the lower end of the connecting plate 31, the pull ring 311 is released. The first protrusion 313 is also fixed on the body of the second ball joint 312. The first protrusion 313 is further connected to the slide rod 33 by the second spring 314. Under the action of the second spring 314, the second ball joint 312 will slide in the opposite direction. The ball end of the second ball joint 312 can squeeze the third ball joint 315 to push the insert block 39 into the interior of the connecting plate 31. When the slide rod 33 is at the lower end of the connecting plate 31, the spherical protrusion 34 on the side of the slide rod 33 is misaligned with the ball end of the first ball joint 35. The end of the first ball joint 35, which is slidably connected to the drive shaft 211, is fixed with the connecting rod 38. The end of the connecting rod 38 is also fixed with the friction block 37. The connecting rod 38 and the drive shaft 211 are also connected by the first ball joint 312. With the first spring 36 further connected, when the first ball joint 35 is misaligned with the spherical protrusion 34, the friction block 37 is pulled to slide under the action of the first spring 36, creating a gap between the friction block 37 and the fixed cylinder 22. At this time, the auxiliary roller 32 and the slide rod 33 drive the connecting plate 31 to rotate, and the drive shaft 211, which is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31, rotates together inside the fixed cylinder 22. Since the main bevel gear 210 at the end of the drive shaft 211 meshes with the secondary bevel gear 29 at the end of the driven shaft 28, and the driven shaft 28, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 27, is also fixedly connected to the lead screw 25, after the connecting plate 31 drives the drive shaft 211 to rotate, the main bevel gear 210, the secondary bevel gear 29, and the driven shaft 28 are connected to each other. Driven by shaft 28, lead screw 25 rotates inside fixed cylinder 22. Simultaneously, an auxiliary nut 26, threadedly connected to lead screw 25, is fixed inside the movable cylinder 21, which is slidably connected to fixed cylinder 22. Therefore, after lead screw 25 rotates, movable cylinder 21 can slide on fixed cylinder 22. A support 15, welded to ball 11, is fixed to the end of movable cylinder 21. After movable cylinder 21 slides, the position and height of node structure 1 can be adjusted. This, in turn, pushes slide rod 33 to slide, using the spherical protrusion 34 of slide rod 33 to press the first ball head rod 35, eliminating the gap between friction block 37 and fixed cylinder 22. This causes the friction texture on the side of friction block 37 to make close contact with fixed cylinder 22, generating a certain frictional force, locking the internal structure, and thus locking the position of node structure 1.
