The spherical cap (2) is covered on the spherical table (1). When the chord (3) or the web (4) is connected to the basic sphere via a bolt and nut assembly, the bolt and nut assembly is installed via the internal space of the spherical table (1).

[0022] In the bolt-connected hollow spherical node for a steel grid structure, a third sealing plate (8'') with thread holes is welded to both ends of the chord (3) and the web (4), and the distance between the third sealing plate (8'') is greater than the depth of the steel pipe penetrating the spherical ball.

[0023] The bolt-connected hollow ball node for the steel grid structure comprises a bolt and a nut assembly comprising a connecting bolt (7) with a washer (71), wherein the contact surface between the washer (71) and the inner wall of the ball table (1) or the ball crown (2) is arc-shaped and matches the arc of the inner wall.

[0024] The bolt-connected hollow spherical node for a steel grid structure further comprises a support (5), the support (5) being arranged on the top of the spherical crown (2); the support (5) comprising a first vertical pipe (51), a first support plate (52) arranged at both ends of the first vertical pipe (51), a stiffening plate (53) and a first sealing plate (8) with a thread hole, the distance of the first sealing plate (8) being greater than the depth of the steel pipe penetrating the spherical ball.
