[0002] Traditional truss structures present numerous problems in the construction of bulk cargo silos. Firstly, most existing truss structures are non-standardized designs, requiring individual design and fabrication for different projects, leading to low production efficiency and high costs. This non-standardized production also results in poor component versatility, making later maintenance and parts replacement difficult. Secondly, some traditional truss structures have inadequate mechanical properties, failing to meet the stringent load-bearing capacity and stability requirements of large bulk cargo silos. For example, under heavy loads, they are prone to structural deformation or even failure, posing serious safety hazards. Furthermore, the installation of traditional truss structures is difficult during construction, requiring significant manpower and time, hindering the rapid and efficient completion of silo construction. Summary of the Invention

[0018] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0019] This invention provides a standardized prefabricated truss for a tubular truss steel structure bulk cargo silo, which can solve the problem that traditional truss structures are difficult to install, require a lot of manpower and time, and are not conducive to the rapid and efficient completion of silo construction.

[0020] See Figure 1 As shown in the figure, a standardized finished truss for a bulk cargo silo with a tubular steel structure is provided in an embodiment of the present invention. It includes: at least two main pipes 1, which are connected at both ends by channel steel 2. The two ends of the main pipes 1 are provided with connecting lugs 3. Bolt holes are provided on both the channel steel 2 and the connecting lugs 3. Multiple branch pipes 4 are connected between the two main pipes 1, and two adjacent branch pipes 4 form a triangle with the main pipes 1.

[0021] The standard segment structure of this standardized finished truss is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it consists of a stable triangular lattice system composed of main pipe 1, branch pipe 4, and channel steel 2, with cross diagonal bracing for reinforcement in some areas. The standard sections are connected by high-strength bolts. Connecting lugs 3 are installed on the top upper chord main pipe and bottom lower chord main pipe of each standard section. Multiple bolt holes are provided on the connecting lugs 3 and the channel steel 2 between the upper and lower chord pipes for connecting to adjacent standard sections. This design allows the truss to flexibly combine the number and arrangement of standard sections according to the size and load-bearing requirements of different silos.

[0022] Specifically, in each standard segment, the main pipe 1 uses a large-diameter seamless steel pipe, while the branch pipe 4 uses a small-diameter high-frequency welded pipe. The connection between the main pipe 1 and the branch pipe 4 adopts an intersecting line welding process to ensure the strength and stability of the joint.

[0023] To improve the overall stability of the truss, horizontal and vertical supports are installed. The horizontal supports are made of round tubes and are connected laterally at the same height position of adjacent standard segments; the vertical supports are made of square tubes to form secondary trusses and are connected vertically at the same height position of adjacent standard segments. The horizontal and vertical supports work together to form a stable spatial support system.

[0024] See Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the main pipe 1 is equipped with fixing plates 5 at both ends. A limiting block 6 is installed on one end of the fixing plate 5, and a limiting hole 7 is provided at the corresponding position on the other end of the fixing plate 5. By cooperating with the limiting blocks 6 and the limiting holes 7 of two adjacent standard segments, the standard segments can be pre-fixed, which facilitates the subsequent installation of bolts and reduces positioning time.

[0025] In some embodiments, the limiting block 6 includes a connecting rod 61 and an elastic block 62. The connecting rod 61 is connected between the fixing plate 5 and the elastic block 62. The elastic block 62 can be made of elastic material such as rubber or elastic structure such as a spring. By inserting the elastic block 62 through the limiting hole 7, the truss can be pre-fixed, which is convenient to use and saves time.

[0026] In some embodiments, the diameter of the elastic block 62 gradually decreases from one end near the connecting rod 61 to the other end. The larger end of the elastic block 62 acts as a blocking force, which can prevent the elastic block 62 from falling out of the limiting hole 7, and the pre-fixing effect is better.

[0027] In some embodiments, the fixing plate 5 is square, and the limiting block 6 or the limiting hole 7 is provided on both the upper and lower sides, which can increase the pre-fixed area between two standard segment trusses, improve the positioning effect, and reduce shaking.

[0028] In some embodiments, a snap-fit ​​block 8 is provided on the channel steel 2 at one end of the main pipe 1, and a snap-fit ​​groove 9 is provided at the corresponding position on the channel steel 2 at the other end. The pre-fixing function between the channel steels 2 can be further enhanced by the cooperation of the snap-fit ​​block 8 and the snap-fit ​​groove 9.

[0029] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​block 8 is T-shaped, and the width of the snap-fit ​​groove 9 is smaller than the width of the front end of the snap-fit ​​block 8. After the snap-fit ​​block 8 is snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 9, the T-shaped design can prevent the snap-fit ​​block 8 from falling off, and the channel steel 2 can be pre-fixed in the length and width directions, resulting in better positioning.

[0030] In some embodiments, the snap-fit ​​block 8 is rotatably mounted on the channel steel 2 via a pin. By flipping the snap-fit ​​block 8, it can be snapped into the snap-fit ​​groove 9, which is convenient to use and has high positioning efficiency.

[0031] This application, employing standardized segments and a unified connection method, allows for large-scale prefabrication in the factory, improving production efficiency and reducing costs. Furthermore, the components are highly versatile, facilitating later maintenance and parts replacement. The synergistic effect of the triangular structure, primary and secondary trusses, and horizontal supports enhances the truss's load-bearing capacity and stability, enabling it to withstand significant loads, meet the requirements of large bulk cargo silos, and reduce safety hazards. Connecting the standardized segments with high-strength bolts eliminates the need for complex welding operations during on-site installation, greatly shortening the construction period, reducing construction difficulty, and improving construction efficiency.

[0032] The process for creating and installing this application is as follows: I. Production of Standard Segments Inside the factory, seamless steel pipes of appropriate specifications are first selected as the main pipe 1 and high-frequency welded pipes as the branch pipes 4 according to the design requirements. Advanced CNC machining equipment is used to precisely cut the lengths of the main pipe 1 and the branch pipes 4, and process them according to the shape of the intersection line (combining the connection form of the main pipe 1 and the branch pipes 4 in the standard segment, the cutting size of the intersection line is precisely controlled).

[0033] Then, on a dedicated welding platform, branch pipe 4 and main pipe 1 are welded together at their intersection. During the welding process, welding parameters (such as current, voltage, and welding speed) are strictly controlled to ensure welding quality. For the intersecting diagonal bars in the standard segment, the connection points with main pipe 1 and branch pipe 4 must be accurately located to ensure that the spatial angle is consistent with the drawings. After welding, inspection and acceptance are carried out.

[0034] After welding is completed, each standard segment is subjected to quality inspection, including weld flaw detection (using ultrasonic testing, radiographic testing, etc., to inspect the parts required by the drawings) and dimensional accuracy inspection (measuring the straightness of the main pipe, the spacing between branch pipes, the position and size of the connecting ear plate, etc.). After passing the inspection, connecting ear plates 3 are welded to the top and bottom of the standard segment, and holes are drilled on the connecting ear plates 3 according to the designed hole diameter and hole spacing.

[0035] II. Installation of reinforcing ribs and supports In the stress concentration areas of the standard segment, triangular reinforcing ribs are welded at the designed locations (such as the intersection of main pipe 1 and connecting lug 3). Before welding, the reinforcing ribs need to be ground and derusted. During welding, ensure that they fit tightly with the main member and that the weld is full.

[0036] For horizontal and vertical supports, the circular tube horizontal supports and secondary truss vertical supports are bolted to the standard segments according to the design requirements for location and spacing. The elevation and connection angles are carefully controlled to ensure the supports are securely installed and form a stable support system.

[0037] III. On-site installation At the bulk cargo silo construction site, the installation position of the truss is determined according to the design plan. First, the bottom standard segment is fixed to the foundation with anchor bolts (the position and elevation of the foundation pre-embedded bolts need to be re-measured in advance to ensure that they match the connecting ear plates of the standard segment). Then, the other standard segments are lifted up in sequence using hoisting equipment, and high-strength bolts are used to connect adjacent standard segments through the bolt holes on the connecting ear plate 3.

[0038] During the connection process, a torque wrench was used to control the bolt tightening torque, strictly adhering to design requirements to ensure the reliability of the connection. After each standard segment was installed, a total station was used to check the overall verticality and mid-span deflection of the truss, and adjustments were made promptly to address any deviations. As standard segments were continuously installed, a complete standardized finished truss for the tubular truss steel structure bulk cargo silo was gradually formed. After installation, a comprehensive inspection and acceptance of the entire truss structure was conducted again, covering weld quality review, bolt tightening force sampling, structural deformation testing, and paint coating thickness, to ensure that design and usage requirements were met.
