Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of building structure engineering, and particularly relates to an assembled replaceable core hub and pin combination node for a grid structure. Background Art
[0002] A space grid structure is a space structure formed by connecting rods and components arranged according to certain rules through nodes. With its beautiful shape, high efficiency, and excellent economic benefits, the space grid structure is widely used in stadiums and exhibition buildings. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, a large number of space grid structures have been built taking various large-scale sports meetings and conferences and exhibitions as opportunities.
[0003] At present, for space grid structures, the commonly used nodes can be divided into two types: welded nodes and assembled replaceable nodes. Although the nodes formed by welding belong to rigid connection nodes, the on-site welding amount is large, the construction is cumbersome, and there are large residual stresses at the welds, affecting the mechanical properties of the nodes. Although the previous assembled replaceable nodes avoid welding, they often have insufficient out-of-plane stiffness of the nodes, and the pre-tightening force of the bolts needs to be controlled during the construction process, and the process is relatively complex.
[0004] For example, a new type of assembly node disclosed in the Chinese invention patent CN116950220A includes: a node prism barrel and a plurality of rods. The rods are radially distributed around the axis of the node prism barrel. The side wall of the node prism barrel forms a plurality of connection surfaces along its circumferential direction. A shear pin radially extending is fixed in the middle of the connection surface. An end plate fitting the connection surface is arranged at the end of the rod. A pin hole for inserting the shear pin is arranged in the middle of the end plate. The end plate is provided with an upper ear plate part and a lower ear plate part radially extending along the rod. The upper ear plate part and the lower ear plate part are fixed to the connection surface through bolts. However, this scheme requires on-site tightening of the bolts, and the pre-tightening force needs to be controlled, and the construction process is relatively complex. At the same time, the construction quality of the bolts cannot be guaranteed, and there is sometimes a phenomenon of "false tightening". Moreover, the sealing plate in this scheme is directly welded to the rod and directly connected to the core barrel. The sealing plate is easily damaged and cannot be replaced, and the life of the node is short. Summary of the Utility Model
[0005] In order to at least solve one of the problems existing in the prior art, the utility model provides an assembled replaceable core hub and pin combination node. The connection between the core hub and the component is realized through a pin assembly.

[0041] In some embodiments of the present utility model, as Figure 3 shown, both the upper end face cover 3 and the lower end face cover 4 are welded to the hollow cylinder 1, and the middle partition 2 is welded to the hollow cylinder 1.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cross-sectional shapes of the upper end face cover plate 3 and the lower end face cover plate 4 are both circular.
[0043] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the cross-sectional shape of the hollow cylinder 1 is a regular polygon. Preferably, a prismatic shape as shown in the figure is adopted, that is, the hollow cylinder 1 is a hollow prismatic cylinder, which can facilitate the connection of the hollow cylinder 1 with subsequent L-shaped angle steel stiffeners, core hub end ear plates, etc.
[0044] The pin shaft assembly includes a core hub end ear plate, a member end ear plate, a first pin shaft 11, a second pin shaft 13, an L-shaped angle steel stiffener, an upper flange plate 5, a lower flange plate 6, and a sealing plate 12. The sealing plate 12 is connected to the end of one end of the rod member 15. The core hub end ear plate is arranged on the outer wall of the hollow cylinder 1. The member end ear plate 9 is detachably arranged on the sealing plate 12, and the core hub end ear plate and the member end ear plate 9 are connected by the first pin shaft 11. The upper flange plate 5 and the lower flange plate 6 are arranged oppositely. One side of the upper flange plate 5 and the lower flange plate 6 is connected to the sealing plate 12, and the other side is respectively connected to the upper end face cover plate 3 and the lower end face cover plate 4 through the second pin shaft 13.
[0045] In some embodiments of the present utility model, the core hub end ear plate includes an intermediate core hub end ear plate 8 and left and right core hub end ear plates 7 located on both sides of the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8. The left and right core hub end ear plates 7 are defined as the left core hub end ear plate and the right core hub end ear plate. The intermediate core hub end ear plate 8 is connected to the outer cylinder wall of the hollow cylinder 1 by welding. The left core hub end ear plate and the right core hub end ear plate located on the left and right sides of the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8 are connected to the outer cylinder wall of the hollow cylinder 1 through the L-shaped angle steel stiffener 10 by bolts 14. There are intervals between the left core hub end ear plate and the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8, and between the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8 and the right core hub end ear plate. As Figure 4 shown, the member end ear plate 9 is connected to the sealing plate 12 through another L-shaped angle steel stiffener 10 by bolts 14, and the sealing plate 12 is welded to the rod member 15. Specifically, there are two member end ear plates 9, including a left member end ear plate and a right member end ear plate. The left member end ear plate can be inserted into the interval between the left core hub end ear plate and the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8, and the right member end ear plate can be inserted into the interval between the intermediate core hub end ear plate 8 and the right core hub end ear plate.
[0046] As Figure 5As shown, during the on-site construction installation, the upper flange plate 5 is connected to the upper end face cover plate 3 through the second pin shaft 13; the lower flange plate 6 is connected to the lower end face cover plate 4 through the second pin shaft 13. The first pin shaft 11 sequentially passes through the left core hub end ear plate, the left member end ear plate, the middle core hub end ear plate 8, the right core hub end ear plate, and the right member end ear plate, thereby connecting multiple ear plates, and a single member 15 can complete the connection to the node. The installation of other members 15 repeats the above method. In some embodiments of the present invention, 6 members 15 are provided, and the node diagram is as Figure 1 shown.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second pin shaft 13 is selected to be made of high-ductility and high-energy-dissipation materials, such as mild steel, so as to achieve the functions of protecting the main body and post-earthquake repair.
[0048] A prefabricated replaceable core hub and pin shaft combined node provided by the foregoing embodiments of the present invention does not require control of the bolt pre-tightening force during on-site construction. Only by inserting the pin shaft can the member be connected to the core hub, and the operation is simple and convenient; the sealing plate is not directly connected to the core hub, but by setting ear plates, the upper end face cover plate, the lower end face cover plate, the upper flange plate, and the lower flange plate. The upper and lower flange plates are connected to the upper and lower end face cover plates through the second pin shaft. The core hub end ear plate and the member end ear plate are connected through the first pin shaft. The bending moment is transmitted through the upper and lower end face cover plates, and the shear force is transmitted through the ear plates. The damage is mainly concentrated on the second pin shaft (rather than the sealing plate). Moreover, in the present invention, through pin shaft connection, the pin shaft is more convenient to disassemble and install than the bolt, and it is convenient to replace when damaged, so that the service life of this combined node can be effectively extended.
[0049] In the above embodiments, the descriptions of each embodiment have their own focuses. For the parts not described in detail in a certain embodiment, reference can be made to the relevant descriptions of other embodiments.
[0050] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
