Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of steel structure connecting pieces, in particular to a connecting component for steel structures. Background Technique

[0002] The connecting components for steel structures are used to connect various components or assemblies in the steel structure to form a stable and firm overall structure. These connecting pieces include but are not limited to rivets, bolts, high-strength bolts, welding rods, pivots (pins), and various nails, etc.

[0003] Except for the welding form, the traditional connecting components can be installed and disassembled individually, but the structure is relatively single. In the construction and building of steel structures, square steel, as a common and important structural material, is widely used in various building and engineering structures. However, in the process of connecting square steel with other steel structures, the existing connecting components have significant limitations. The design of traditional connecting components often only considers specific fixed-angle connections, which means that in actual application scenarios, if it is necessary to adjust the connection direction to adapt to different structural layouts, the existing connecting components cannot respond flexibly, making the adjustment work of the connected steel structure limited.

[0004] Therefore, a connecting component for steel structures is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] Aiming at the above problems, the utility model provides a connecting component for steel structures to solve the problems put forward in the above background technique.

[0006] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:

[0007] A connecting component for steel structures includes a steel structure. A connecting block is arranged on the outer surface of the steel structure. An installation opening adapted to the steel structure is formed on the surface of the connecting block. Both the upper and lower ends of the connecting block are circular. A circumferentially distributed connecting plate is arranged on the outer side of the connecting block. A sliding groove is formed inside the connecting block. A sliding opening is formed on the outer wall of the connecting block. Equally spaced balls are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. A support member slides in the inner wall of the sliding opening, and the support member is located between the connecting plate and the ball.

[0008] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0009] During operation, in the first step, prepare the steel structure. At this time, the connecting blocks provided on its outer surface can be seen. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the steel structure, an external force acts on the connecting plate. The rotation of the connecting plate drives the support member to slide within the sliding opening. While the support member slides, the balls roll within the sliding groove, reducing the frictional resistance and making the angle adjustment smoother and more stable. After the steel structure is adjusted to the required angle, it relies on the interaction and frictional force between various components to maintain its stability at this angle, completing the entire operation process.

[0010] In a further technical solution, an anti-slip plate is provided on the surface of the connecting plate, and a bolt is inserted into the surface of the connecting plate. The end of the bolt away from the connecting plate is in contact with the anti-slip plate.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, it can significantly increase the frictional force when contacting the external steel structure, ensure that the external steel structure does not easily slide or displace during the connection and fixation process, enhance the stability and reliability of the connection, and can prevent the connecting plate from directly contacting the external steel structure, reducing wear and scratches on the surfaces of the connecting plate and the external steel structure, and extending the service life.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the support member includes a support block. A sliding track is provided on the inner wall of the sliding opening, and a slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding track. The support block slides on the inner wall of the sliding opening, and the slider is fixed between the ball and the support block.

[0013] Through the above technical solution, it can slide within the sliding opening, providing a solid support for the connecting plate and the external steel structure connected thereto, ensuring the stability of the structure during rotation and angle adjustment.

[0014] In a further technical solution, a connecting bracket is provided at the end of the support block away from the ball. One end surface of the connecting bracket is fixed to the surface of the connecting plate. Hinge blocks are fixedly connected to the opposite surfaces of the support block and the connecting bracket, and the two hinge blocks are hinged.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the hinging of the two hinge blocks enables the support block and the connecting bracket to rotate relative to each other, thereby providing greater flexibility and range of motion for the angle adjustment of the connecting plate, being able to adapt to various complex angle changes, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, helping to disperse the stress generated during the angle adjustment process, avoiding stress concentration at a certain specific part, and improving the strength and durability of the entire connection structure.

[0016] In a further technical solution, a rotating opening is provided on the surface of the anti-slip plate, and a bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating opening. The end of the bolt away from the connecting plate is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, when the bolt rotates, since one end of it is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing, the presence of the bearing greatly reduces the direct friction between the bolt and the anti-slip plate, and reduces the wear of the bolt and the anti-slip plate.

[0018] In a further technical solution, the anti-slip plates on the surfaces between two of the connecting plates face each other.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, the oppositely arranged anti-slip plates can clamp the steel structure from both sides simultaneously, making the clamping force more evenly distributed, thereby greatly enhancing the clamping stability of the steel structure and reducing the possibility of displacement or loosening of the steel structure during use.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] By providing a circular connecting block, circumferentially distributed connecting plates, internal chutes, balls, support members in the sliding openings, and adjustable anti-slip plates, the flexibility and multi-directionality of the connection between square steel and other steel structures in the construction and building of steel structures are realized. When it is necessary to adjust the connection direction due to different structural layouts, the circular connecting block provides the basis for rotation, the balls roll in the chutes to reduce the frictional resistance, the support members slide in the sliding openings to provide stable support, the circumferentially distributed connecting plates can be flexibly rotated to the required angles, and the adjustable anti-slip plates ensure the firm connection, so that the connection adjustment work of the steel structure is no longer restricted by the limitations of traditional connection components.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.

[0033] Embodiment:

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-6 , a connecting member for a steel structure, including a steel structure 1. A connecting block 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the steel structure 1. An installation opening 3 adapted to the steel structure 1 is opened on the surface of the connecting block 2. Both the upper and lower ends of the connecting block 2 are circular. Connecting plates 4 distributed in a circumferential manner are arranged on the outer side of the connecting block 2. A chute 7 is opened inside the connecting block 2. A slide opening 9 is opened on the outer wall of the connecting block 2. Equally spaced balls 10 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the chute 7. A support member slides inside the slide opening 9, and the support member is located between the connecting plate 4 and the ball 10.

[0035] The working principle of the above technical solution is as follows:

[0036] During operation, in the first step, prepare the steel structure 1. At this time, the connecting block 2 provided on its outer surface can be seen. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the steel structure 1, an external force acts on the connecting plate 4. The rotation of the connecting plate 4 drives the support member to slide in the sliding opening 9. While the support member slides, the ball 10 rolls in the chute 7 to reduce the frictional resistance, making the angle adjustment smoother and more stable. After the steel structure 1 is adjusted to the required angle, it relies on the interaction and frictional force between the components to maintain its stability at this angle, completing the entire operation process.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 , the surface of the connecting plate 4 is provided with an anti-slip plate 5, and a bolt 6 is inserted into the surface of the connecting plate 4. The end of the bolt 6 away from the connecting plate 4 is in contact with the anti-slip plate 5.

[0038] It can significantly increase the frictional force when contacting the external steel structure, ensuring that the external steel structure will not easily slide or displace during the connection and fixing process, enhancing the stability and reliability of the connection. It can prevent the connecting plate 4 from directly contacting the external steel structure, reducing the wear and scratches on the surfaces of the connecting plate 4 and the external steel structure, and extending the service life.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , the support member includes a support block 12. A slideway 8 is opened on the inner wall of the sliding opening 9. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slideway 8. The support block 12 slides on the inner wall of the sliding opening 9, and the slider 11 is fixed between the ball 10 and the support block 12.

[0040] It can slide in the sliding opening 9, providing a solid support for the connecting plate 4 and the external steel structure connected thereto, ensuring the stability of the structure during rotation and angle adjustment.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , one end of the support block 12 away from the ball 10 is provided with a connecting bracket 14. One end face of the connecting bracket 14 is fixed on the surface of the connecting plate 4. Hinge blocks 13 are fixedly connected to the opposite faces of the support block 12 and the connecting bracket 14, and the two hinge blocks 13 are hinged.

[0042] The hinging of the two hinge blocks 13 enables the support block 12 and the connecting bracket 14 to rotate relative to each other, thereby providing greater flexibility and a larger range of movement for the angle adjustment of the connecting plate 4. It can adapt to various complex angle changes, ensuring the stability and reliability of the connection, helping to disperse the stress generated during the angle adjustment process, avoiding stress concentration at a certain specific part, and improving the strength and durability of the entire connection structure.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6, a rotating opening 15 is formed on the surface of the anti-slip plate 5, and a bearing 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating opening 15. One end of the bolt 6 away from the connecting plate 4 is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing 16.

[0044] When the bolt 6 rotates, since one end of it is fixed to the inner wall of the bearing 16, the existence of the bearing 16 greatly reduces the direct friction between the bolt 6 and the anti-slip plate 5, and reduces the wear of the bolt 6 and the anti-slip plate 5.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , where the anti-slip plates 5 on the surfaces between the two connecting plates 4 face each other.

[0046] The oppositely arranged anti-slip plates 5 can clamp the steel structure from both sides simultaneously, making the clamping force more evenly distributed, thus greatly enhancing the clamping stability of the steel structure and reducing the possibility of displacement or loosening of the steel structure during use.

[0047] During operation, first, place the externally connected steel structure between the two opposite anti-slip plates 5. Then, by rotating the bolt 6, push the two anti-slip plates 5 closer to each other, thereby firmly clamping the externally connected steel structure. When multiple externally connected steel structures need to be clamped, perform the clamping operation in sequence according to this procedure. Subsequently, when the steel structure needs to be adjusted to the required corresponding direction, the ball 10 will smoothly slide along the inner wall of the chute 7. During this process, the slider 11 will accurately slide along the inner wall of the slideway 8, providing guidance and stability for the movement of the ball 10. At the same time, the support block 12 will also smoothly slide along the inner wall of the sliding opening 9, further enhancing the support stability of the entire structure. Moreover, when there is a need to adjust the angle additionally, the support block 12 and the connecting bracket 14 can be flexibly bent. This bending can adapt to the requirements of different angle adjustments, enabling the steel structure to accurately reach the expected position and angle, thus meeting various complex requirements in practical applications.

[0048] The above-described embodiments only represent the specific implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the patent of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several deformations and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model.
