Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel pipe column construction, and specifically to an internal connection node and installation method of a steel pipe column. Background Art

[0002] Modular building is the highest form of prefabricated building. Ordinary prefabricated buildings often involve factory prefabrication of certain building and structural components, and then corresponding professional connections are made on site (such as welding, screwing, self-tapping screw connection, etc.); while modular buildings emphasize disassembling the building into several components fabricated in the factory, which integrate all specialties of "architecture, structure, plumbing, electricity, decoration, and intelligentization", and key and efficient connections are made on site; in modular buildings, from the degree of factory prefabrication, it can be divided into plate modules (integrating wall panels, floor slabs, ceilings, and roofs), and three-dimensional box modules with in-factory space integration, which is the form with the highest degree of prefabrication; modular buildings have been widely used at home and abroad, from general temporary residences, offices, and medical shelters to permanent schools, white-collar apartments, and homestay hotels; with its highest prefabrication and assembly rate, modular buildings can effectively utilize factory equipment and environment to achieve high-quality, low-cost, and short-cycle product manufacturing, while minimizing on-site construction workload at the same time. It is a future building scenario that adapts to the national policy of high-quality development of the construction industry.

[0003] However, modular buildings also have a series of problems, including problems in terms of system, technology, and cost. Taking the modular corner column problem involved in the present invention as an example, the existing problems include:

[0004] 1. Occupying space: According to the requirements of the seismic structure code, for steel structure houses with a height less than or equal to 50m in the 8-degree seismic zone, the seismic grade is grade three; in most areas of our country, the seismic intensity grade is not higher than 8 degrees, and the number of floors of modular buildings is generally not more than 14 floors (3.5m per floor), so the highest seismic fortification measures of grade three can be selected, that is, the slenderness ratio is not greater than and the wall thickness-to-width ratio is not greater than 32; in modular buildings, square tube columns have the best mechanical properties, and Q355B steel is selected, so the smallest square tube obtained is 150, and the thickness is not less than 5; for higher seismic and wind resistance grades, or higher floors, larger columns are often required; in modular buildings, a cuboid module contains 4 corner columns, and in a completed modular building, a middle column is composed of 4 columns; considering the minimum installation gap of 5mm between columns, the fireproof layer thickness of 7mm, the finishing keel of 30mm, and the finishing panel of 9mm, the width of the completed surface of a middle column is (9 + 30 + 7 + 150 + 5 + 150 + 7 + 30 + 9) = 397mm, and the width of a general module is not greater than 3600mm, so the minimum space occupied by the middle column is 11% of the module bay width, which is significantly larger.

[0005] 2. Column stiffness: In modular buildings, two columns work independently, with low lateral stiffness and large inter-story displacements under seismic actions. The beam cross-section in the long side direction of the module is generally not less than 250 in height. Therefore, the stiffness and strength are often greater than those of the columns, which is likely to result in "strong beams and weak columns", being unfavorable for structural earthquake resistance.

[0006] Defects of the existing installation method:

[0007] Making two columns work together is the most effective way to improve the overall stiffness of the columns. However, the cost of on-site connection is high and the connection strength is limited. For example, using the method of welding side plates on the side walls of the columns can effectively ensure the transfer of vertical shear force between adjacent columns. However, due to the problem of on-site installation modules covering each other, adjacent columns can only be eccentrically connected on one side wall, resulting in unreasonable local structural configurations. In addition, the reliability of on-site welding has a great impact on the completed thermal insulation and decoration layers, and it needs to be supplemented on-site, resulting in a large amount of on-site construction work, which goes against the original intention of prefabricated buildings. Moreover, the laterally welded steel plates further increase the width of the completed surface of the columns, making on-site decoration construction inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an internal connection node and installation method for steel pipe columns, which solve the problems existing in the prior art, such as large space occupied by middle columns, insufficient column stiffness and being unfavorable for structural earthquake resistance, and problems such as on-site installation modules covering each other, unreasonable local structural configurations, large amount of on-site construction work, and inconvenient on-site decoration construction during installation.

[0009] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0010] The internal connection node of the steel pipe column is used for the connection between cuboid modules. The cuboid modules include steel pipe columns at the four corners. Four cuboid modules are butt-jointed, and the four steel pipe columns at the butt-joint form a middle column. The four steel pipe columns forming the middle column are arranged in central symmetry and are connected by through hexagon socket head cap screws.

[0011] The steel pipe column is a rectangular pipe, and its four walls are respectively the first pipe wall, the second pipe wall, the third pipe wall, and the fourth pipe wall in the counterclockwise direction.

[0012] A rectangular hole is opened at the center of the first pipe wall.

[0013] Four D57mm third docking holes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis at the center of the third pipe wall.

[0014] Four D35mm fourth docking holes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis at the center of the fourth pipe wall.

[0015] Five pairs of D16mm plug welding holes are spaced on both sides of the centers of the second pipe wall, the third pipe wall, and the fourth pipe wall.

[0016] A shear resistance strengthening connecting piece is inserted and fitted inside the steel pipe column. The shear resistance strengthening connecting piece is inserted into the steel pipe column through a rectangular hole. The shear resistance strengthening connecting piece is a rectangular pipe with a thickness of 12 - 15 mm. Its four walls are respectively the first column wall, the second column wall, the third column wall, and the fourth column wall in the counterclockwise direction; among them, the third column wall faces inwards and the first column wall faces outwards.

[0017] Four D35 mm first round holes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis at the center of the first column wall.

[0018] Both sides of the third column wall are provided with through - length chamfers. Four D57 mm third round holes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis at the center of the third column wall. The third round holes are installation holes.

[0019] Four D35 mm fourth round holes are evenly spaced along the longitudinal axis at the center of the fourth column wall.

[0020] On the inner side surface of the fourth column wall, a washer and a nut of M30 mm that are aligned with the fourth round hole are welded.

[0021] The third docking hole is aligned with the third round hole and has the same size.

[0022] The fourth docking hole is aligned with the fourth round hole and has the same size.

[0023] A washer is spot - welded on the socket - head cap screw.

[0024] When connecting the steel pipe columns of two adjacent cuboid modules, the socket - head cap screw passes through the third docking hole and the third round hole of the first cuboid module, penetrates into the interior of the first cuboid module, then horizontally and forwardly passes through the rectangular hole and the first round hole of the first cuboid module and the fourth docking hole and the fourth round hole of the second cuboid module in sequence, and is inserted into the nut.

[0025] A further preferred technical solution: The diameter of the third round hole is larger than the outer diameter of the M30 mm washer, and the outer diameter of the washer is 56 mm.

[0026] A further preferred technical solution: The center distances of the first round hole, the third round hole, and the fourth round hole are all 105 mm, and the edge distances are all 70 mm.

[0027] The washer is arranged between the first column wall of the first cuboid module and the socket - head cap screw.

[0028] A further preferred technical solution: The shear resistance strengthening connecting piece is a cast steel piece.

[0029] A further preferred technical solution: Single - bevel grooves are opened on the upper and lower horizontal sides of the rectangular hole, and the angle is 45 degrees.

[0030] The installation method of the internal connection node of the steel pipe column is as follows:

[0031] Step 1: Arrange the first rectangular module, the second rectangular module, the third rectangular module, and the fourth rectangular module in sequence. The steel pipe columns of the four rectangular modules are arranged in central symmetry and combined to form a central column.

[0032] Step 2: Install the first rectangular module and insert the shear strengthening connector into the steel pipe column.

[0033] Step 3: Install the second rectangular module and insert the shear strengthening connector into the steel pipe column. At the position of the steel pipe column adjacent to the first rectangular module and the second rectangular module, use an M30 hexagon socket head cap screw together with a washer with an outer diameter of 56 mm to pass through the No. 3 docking hole and the No. 3 round hole of the first rectangular module, penetrate into the inside of the first rectangular module, and then horizontally pass forward through the rectangular opening and the No. 1 round hole of the first rectangular module and the No. 4 docking hole and the No. 4 round hole of the second rectangular module in sequence, and insert them into the nut to complete the connection between the first rectangular module and the second rectangular module.

[0034] Step 4: Install the third rectangular module; repeat the above Step 2. At the position of the steel pipe column adjacent to the second rectangular module and the third rectangular module, use an M30 hexagon socket head cap screw together with a washer with an outer diameter of 56 mm to complete the connection between the second rectangular module and the third rectangular module.

[0035] Step 5: Install the fourth rectangular module; repeat the above Step 2. At the position of the steel pipe column adjacent to the third rectangular module and the fourth rectangular module, use an M30 hexagon socket head cap screw together with a washer with an outer diameter of 56 mm to complete the connection between the third rectangular module and the fourth rectangular module.

[0036] Step 6: Seal the construction opening of the steel pipe column on site.

[0037] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following characteristics and beneficial effects:

[0038] 1. Increase in lateral stiffness: Through theoretical derivation, the proposed method of internal connection and local shear resistance can effectively increase the lateral stiffness of the composite column to If arranged at the inflection point of the column, the stiffness increases by 53%.

[0040] 2. No eccentricity and good local stress: The force at the connection point has no eccentricity and the stress of the column is good.

[0041] 3. No protrusion in the structure: There are no redundant protruding connectors on the surface of the column, and the decoration method is simple.

[0042] 4. Convenient to repair: It only needs to use standard prefabricated parts to seal the thermal insulation and decoration layer in the rectangular installation space of 150x373 exposed on the column, and the production is convenient.

[0043] 5. Central symmetry: The use of a centrally symmetric reinforcing connector and a square tube column allows for the use of standard parts and standard installation processes, with standard fabrication and convenient construction.

[0044] 6. Perforated connection: The reinforcing connector strengthens the entire connection section at the same time. Therefore, a perforated connection scheme can be adopted, and the weakened column wall can be strengthened by the reinforcing connector, without damaging the strength and stiffness of the structural column; moreover, the perforated connection method realizes the feature of no protrusion of the structure.

[0108] 6. Plug the construction opening of the steel pipe column 1 on site.

[0109] The present invention adopts a central symmetry structure form of non-exposed reinforced internal connection nodes.

[0111] The steel pipe columns 1 at the four corner positions of the four cuboid modules are combined to form a middle column.

Therefore, a 4-steel pipe column central symmetry structure is formed, and there is no protrusion on the surface of the steel pipe column, which is convenient for manufacturing and connection, and is conducive to standardized manufacturing and construction.

[0112] Take one of the steel pipe columns. It can be seen that the column wall is cut off on one side of the steel pipe column to form a rectangular opening with a height-width of 457*136, and then a standard shear strengthening connector with a height-width-depth of 455*128*144 is inserted; the shear strengthening connector is a thickened (12-15 thick) rectangular pipe, and the column walls are marked as No. 1-4 respectively. Among them: there are 4 D35 round holes in the center of the No. 1 column wall; there are no holes in the No. 2 column wall; there are chamfers on both sides of the No. 3 column wall, and there are 4 D57 round holes in the center of the column wall, which are installation holes and are larger than the outer diameter of the M30 washer of 56 mm; there are 4 D35 round holes in the center of the No. 4 column wall, and M30 washers and nuts are welded on the inner wall of the corresponding holes; the center distance of the bolt holes is 105 mm, and the edge distance is 70 mm.

The installation method of the present invention opens holes at the inflection point of the square pipe column. The inflection point is the midpoint. An internal strengthening connector is built in and welded and fixed to the square pipe column. Bolt holes and installation holes are left on the column wall and the strengthening connector.
