Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of long - span steel structures, and specifically refers to a connection node between the chord of a greenhouse pipe truss and a gable column. Background Technique

[0002] Pipe trusses are often used in large - span shed - type structures. For fully enclosed greenhouses, gable columns need to be set at the ends. The gable columns are usually also made into pipe truss structures. Generally, the gable columns do not transfer the vertical load of the main truss and mainly bear the lateral wind load. In fact, they act as wind columns. Therefore, in structural design, it is necessary to consider making the connection node between the gable column and the chord of the greenhouse pipe truss in a form that releases the vertical constraint. In small - and medium - span rigid - frame structures, the gable column is connected to the main rigid - frame beam through an elliptical hole node as shown in Figure 1 or a Z - shaped plate as shown in Figure 2 to form an effect of releasing the vertical constraint and only transmitting the horizontal force. For large - span shed - type truss structures, due to the large vertical displacement of large - span space structures, it is not appropriate to use traditional Z - shaped plates or elliptical bolt holes for connection, and they cannot adapt to large vertical deformations and effectively transmit horizontal forces.

[0031] As Figures 4 to 8 shown, the connecting node of the present utility model mainly consists of a lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 of the truss, a gable column connecting sleeve 8, a gable column connecting sleeve connecting flange 9, and a gable column connecting flange 10.

[0032] Among them, between the gable column 4 and the lower chord member 5 of the truss, they are movably nested and connected through the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 of the truss and the gable column connecting sleeve 8, that is, one end of the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower chord member 5 of the truss, and the other end is sleeved with the gable column connecting sleeve 8. The diameter of the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 is larger than that of the gable column connecting sleeve 8, and the gable column connecting sleeve 8 is nested inside the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7.

[0033] An outer hoop ring 12 of the gable column connecting sleeve is provided on the outer surface of the upper part of the gable column connecting sleeve 8 so that the gable column connecting sleeve 8 can have a certain contact surface with the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 of the truss to facilitate the transfer of horizontal loads.

[0034] In order to release the vertical constraint, a 3mm gap is reserved between the outer hoop ring 12 of the gable column connecting sleeve and the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 of the truss, and upper and lower limit retaining rings are provided on the inner surface of the lower chord member connecting sleeve 7 of the truss, namely the upper limit retaining ring 13 and the lower limit retaining ring 14.

A 3mm gap is reserved between both the upper limit retaining ring 13 and the lower limit retaining ring 14 and the gable column connecting sleeve 8.
