Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of prefabricated buildings, the demand for complex steel structures in landmark buildings is increasing. Traditional steel structure joint processes have significant drawbacks: insufficient precision in forming complex spatial curved surfaces, large welding deformation at multi-directional stress joints, difficulty in balancing drainage function and structural performance, and low construction efficiency. Existing spiral steel structure fabrication methods are complex, reliant on manual operation, resulting in high material loss rates and long installation cycles, failing to meet the demands of industrialized construction. Especially in multi-directional intersection joints, the synergistic optimization of structural precision and drainage function faces significant challenges, severely restricting the engineering application of complex-shaped buildings. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a multi-directional spiral intersection structure and an efficient assembly process to overcome existing technological bottlenecks.

Step 3: Modular Assembly Draw a three-dimensional positioning mesh on the surface of the cylindrical body; Install the bent and twisted side strips according to the grid positioning, and adjust the ends to align with the drain holes; Install the bent and twisted semi-circular plate, correct any local deviations, and then weld it in place. Step 4: Quality Inspection Perform UT (Ultrasound) testing to inspect weld quality; Conduct a watertightness test to ensure drainage function.

[0008] Furthermore, in step 2, the multi-directional curved semi-arc plate is made by assembling multiple unidirectional curved circular tubes into a multi-directional curved circular tube, and then cutting the curved circular tube.

[0012] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1 to 14 The present invention provides a more detailed description of a multi-directional spiral cross structure and its modular assembly process.

[0013] A multi-directional spiral cross structure: 1. The overall form of this node is a multi-directional spiral cross structure, specifically as follows: Figure 1 As shown.

[0014] 2. Based on its structural form, this component can be disassembled into a circular tube main body I and a spiral intersecting drainage ring II, as detailed below. Figure 2 As shown.

[0015] 3. The main body of the circular pipe consists of a circular pipe column and dividing partitions, namely: circular pipe column 1, dividing partition 2, and the outer side of the dividing partition has a drain hole K, as detailed below. Figure 3 As shown.

[0016] 4. The spiral cross-shaped water-falling ring consists of four main modules (A, B, C, and D), as follows: Figure 4 As shown; a single module consists of two intersecting twisted components E and F, as... Figure 5 As shown; a single bending and twisting component E (or F) consists of bending and twisting side strip 3, bending and twisting side strip 4, and bending and twisting semi-circular plate 5, specifically as follows: Figure 6 As shown; the cross-sectional form of a single bending and twisting component E (or F) is a semi-circular open arch, specifically as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0017] A modular assembly process for a multi-directional spiral cross structure is described below: I. Machining of the round tube body: First, a drainage hole K is made on the partition plate 2. Then, the four sections of circular pipe 1 are assembled with the partition plate 2 as a whole. During assembly, attention should be paid to ensuring the straightness of the main body of the component, and at the same time ensuring the assembly accuracy of the rainwater hole, as follows. Figure 8 As shown.

[0018] II. Machining of bending and twisting component parts plates: 1. Forming of 3 / 4 of the bent and twisted side strip of the part: The 3 / 4 of the bent and twisted side strip is rolled according to the bending curvature, bending radius and roll circle direction of the part; 2. Forming of the tortuous semi-circular plate 5: When manufacturing the tortuous semi-circular plate 5, first determine the curvature and arc length of the cross-section of the plate. Then, select a circular tube 6 with that curvature for processing, specifically as follows... Figure 9 As shown; when processing the round tube 6, it should first be bent and shaped according to the bending radius of the twisted semi-arc plate 5. For the twisted semi-arc plate 5 that bends in multiple directions, multiple round tubes (6-1, 6-2, 6-3) that bend in one direction can be assembled into a multi-direction bent round tube 6, as shown in the figure. Figure 10 As shown; then the bent circular tube 6 is cut into a twisted semi-arc plate 5, as shown. Figure 11 As shown.

[0019] III. Overall assembly: 1. First, draw the positioning lines for the bent side strips 3 or 4 on the outer surface of the main body I of the circular tube. When drawing the lines, a multi-line grid can be used. Connect the intersection points of the grid on the main body to form the positioning lines of the bent plate, such as... Figure 12 As shown; 2. Assemble the bent and twisted side panels 3 and 4 onto the main component according to the routing lines. Adjust any areas where the bending is incomplete. Also, control the cross-sectional dimensions between the bent and twisted side panels 3 and 4, and ensure that the end holes of the bent and twisted side panels 3 and 4 are aligned with the drain hole K. Specifically, as shown below... Figure 13 As shown; 3. After the above-mentioned plates are positioned, assemble the bent-torsional semi-circular plate 5 between the bent-torsional side strips 3 and 4, and correct any local deviations, such as... Figure 14 As shown.

[0020] IV. Quality Inspection 1. After the main body of the component is assembled and welded, UT testing is performed on the main body, and unqualified parts are reworked. At the same time, weld spatter, debris and other contaminants on the main body of the component are removed.

[0021] 2. The completed spiral cross-shaped drainage ring II should be checked for its airtightness to prevent leakage.
