Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel structure engineering, in particular to a tool for manufacturing a steel structure support node. Background Art

[0002] Steel structural materials offer advantages such as high strength, good toughness and plasticity, as well as uniform material, good structural performance, and high reliability, making them suitable for bearing impact and dynamic loads. Compared to traditional reinforced concrete structures, steel structural components are smaller in cross-section, lighter in weight, and easier to transport and install, making them suitable for large-span, high-cross-section, and heavy-load structures. Therefore, they play an important role in various fields, including electricity, industry, and construction. Steel structural support nodes are key components that ensure the coordinated operation of beams and columns to form the overall structure. Their mechanical properties directly affect the stiffness, stability, and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure. Therefore, the welding quality of the support nodes and the positioning accuracy of the connection holes are particularly important during factory fabrication.

[0003] Steel structure support nodes are generally divided into two types: vertical bracing and water bracing. Vertical bracing nodes are typically heavier, while water bracing nodes are relatively lighter, but they are characterized by a wide variety of specifications and models. During the fabrication of steel structure support nodes, due to the diverse types and irregular shapes of the node structures, the traditional method of ground marking and temporary fixation with position limits is not only difficult to locate and inefficient, but also lacks guaranteed dimensional accuracy. Furthermore, when encountering vertical bracing nodes with heavier weight, manual assembly often requires lifting equipment, sometimes requiring two or even more operators to work together. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and poses certain safety risks. Summary of the Invention

The tooling can be operated by one person, which reduces labor intensity and reduces the potential safety hazards caused by the cooperation of multiple workers.

[0015] 4. The present invention adopts the design of a stable base and a reinforcing rib plate for the tooling, which can effectively prevent the tooling from tilting or falling, thereby improving the safety during operation.

The number and position of the longitudinal positioning pin 33 correspond to the bolt holes on the steel structure support node.

[0027] A transverse positioning sliding module 4 is provided on the tooling platform 1. The distance between the transverse positioning sliding module 4 and the tooling column 2 is adjustable. A transverse locking mechanism 41 for locking the transverse positioning sliding module 4 is provided between the transverse positioning sliding module 4 and the tooling platform 1. The transverse positioning sliding module 4 can translate on the tooling platform 1, and the transverse locking mechanism 41 can lock the position of the transverse positioning sliding module 4.

[0028] A transverse node hole positioning template 42 is horizontally provided on the top of the transverse positioning sliding module 4. The transverse node hole positioning template 42 is detachably connected to the transverse positioning sliding module 4. The transverse node hole positioning template 42 is provided with a detachable transverse positioning pin 43. The number and position of the transverse positioning pin 43 correspond to the bolt holes on the steel structure support node.

[0029] The tooling platform 1 is provided with a positioning scale 5 horizontally, and the tooling column 2 is provided with a positioning scale 5 vertically.

[0030] Preferably, in order to ensure the stability of the movement of the longitudinal positioning sliding module and the transverse positioning sliding module, the longitudinal positioning sliding module 3 and the transverse positioning sliding module 4 are provided with T-slots, and the tooling platform 1 and the tooling column 2 are provided with T-slots adapted to the T-slots.

[0033] Before using the present invention, first check the integrity of all components and the lubrication of the contact surfaces between the longitudinal and transverse positioning slide modules, the columns, and the platform. Apply lubricant to both the longitudinal positioning slide module 3 and the transverse positioning slide module 4 to ensure smooth sliding. At this point, all working conditions of the tooling have been checked and meet the requirements.

[0034] According to the layout of the bolt holes on the steel structure support node, a longitudinal node hole positioning template 32 and a transverse node hole positioning template 42 are made. A number of positioning pin holes are provided on the longitudinal node hole positioning template 32 and the transverse node hole positioning template 42. Then, the longitudinal node hole positioning template 32 is installed on the longitudinal positioning sliding module 3 using hexagonal screws, and the transverse node hole positioning template 42 is installed on the transverse positioning sliding module 4 using hexagonal screws. Then, the longitudinal positioning sliding module 3 and the transverse positioning sliding module 4 are moved to the origin of the present invention and locked.

[0035] According to the node drawing dimensions, calculate and adjust the positions of the longitudinal positioning slide module 3 and the transverse positioning slide module 4, respectively. Adjust the slide module left-right / up-down. Observe the scale indicated by the positioning ruler at the end of the corresponding slide module near the tooling origin. The scale indicates the distance from the center of the hole in the supporting node connection plate (angle steel) to the edge of the slide module. After adjustment, tighten the locking screws on the corresponding slide module. At this point, all tooling preparation and adjustment work before node assembly is complete.

Repeat this process to enter the batch production of the node. If the node specifications need to be changed, repeat the above steps.

[0037] As attached Figure 4 As shown, when making a water bracing node, first temporarily fix the four water bracing node connecting angle steels 71 on the corresponding node hole positioning templates (longitudinal node hole positioning templates 32, transverse node hole positioning templates 42) through positioning pins (longitudinal positioning pins 33, transverse positioning pins 43). At this time, the gap between the four water bracing node connecting angle steels 71 is equal to the thickness of the water bracing node plate 7. Then, insert the water bracing node plate 7 into the gap between the two pairs of water bracing node connecting angle steels 71 according to the direction of the drawing, and align the edges of the water bracing node plate 7 with the node hole positioning templates (longitudinal node hole positioning templates 32, transverse node hole positioning templates 42) (according to design requirements, some require a gap and do not require alignment, and a limit block needs to be added in the middle of the positioning template). After aligning vertically, spot weld and fix to ensure firmness. Remove the temporary positioning pins to complete the assembly of the water bracing node, and the node can be transferred to the next welding process. Repeat this process to enter the batch production of the node. If the node specifications need to be changed, repeat the above steps.
