Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of grid structures, and particularly relates to a novel flattened circular steel pipe grid structure based on a hub-bolt ball connection method. Background Art

[0002] A grid structure is a space structure formed by connecting multiple rods in a certain grid form through nodes. It has the advantages of small space stress, light weight, large stiffness, good seismic performance, etc.; it can be used as the roof of buildings such as gymnasiums, cinemas, exhibition halls, waiting halls, stadium grandstand canopies, aircraft hangars, workshops with large column spacings in two directions, etc. The disadvantage is that the number of rods converging at the nodes is relatively large, and the manufacturing and installation are more complex than plane structures. In order to realize the transfer of rods, existing grids usually use spherical nodes for connection. However, in the actual assembly and use process, after the existing bolted ball grid is assembled, the connection tightness between the bolts and the spherical nodes is insufficient and is prone to loosening. In addition, the stress concentration at the nodes of the existing bolted ball grid leads to local deformation and fracture.

[0003] In order to solve the deficiencies of the existing technology, people have carried out long-term explorations and proposed various solutions. For example, a Chinese patent document discloses a ball head bolt [201210207344.0], which includes a head and a screw rod integrally formed with one end of the head. At least three convex blocks are evenly arranged on the periphery of the other end of the head, and a limiting part with a ball head is also provided at the center of the other end of the head. The limiting part sequentially includes a ball head with symmetric cutting surfaces from top to bottom, a frustum welded to one of the cutting surfaces at one end, a cylinder welded to the other end of the frustum at one end, and an arc head extending from the other end of the cylinder and welded to the head.

[0004] The above solution solves the problem of the connection tightness of the spherical node to a certain extent, but there are still many deficiencies in this solution, such as problems such as deformation and fracture caused by stress concentration. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0023] The following further describes the present utility model in detail with reference to the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] As Figures 1-5 shown, a new type of flattened round steel pipe grid structure based on the hub-bolt ball connection method includes a round tube 1 made of stainless steel. A flattened part 2 is provided at the end of the round tube 1, and the flattened part 2 and the round tube 1 are usually integrally formed. A tenon 3 is inserted into the flattened part 2, and a cylindrical tenon joint 4 is provided at the end of the tenon 3, and the tenon joint 4 and other parts of the tenon 3 are also integrally formed. A threaded locking component 5 is provided between the flattened part 2 and the tenon 3 for locking and fixing to ensure the connection stability of the tenon 3. A structural support component 6 is provided between the inside of the round tube 1 and the flattened part 2 to support the inside of the flattened part 2 and prevent the flattened part 2 from deforming due to excessive bending moment.

[0025] Specifically, different from the existing welding connection method, the threaded locking assembly 5 can realize the replacement and adjustment of the round tube 1 and the tenon 3. Specifically, it includes locking holes 51 provided on the flattened part 2 and the tenon 3. A locking cylinder 52 is inserted between the locking holes 51. Both ends of the locking cylinder 52 are flush with the outer side of the flattened part 2. A bolt 53 is inserted into the locking cylinder 52, and a nut 54 that fits and presses against the flattened part 2 is threadedly connected to the end of the bolt 53. The cooperation between the nut 54 and the bolt 53 realizes the fixation of the locking cylinder 52, and the locking cylinder 52 further improves the shear torque bearing capacity of the threaded locking assembly 5.

[0026] Furthermore, in order to further improve its structural strength, the locking holes 51 are arranged in a matrix relative to the flattened part 2 and the tenon 3. The locking holes 51 on the flattened part 2 are countersunk holes. The nut 54 is arranged in the locking hole 51 after installation to ensure the flatness of the outer side of the flattened part 2.

[0027] Further, in order to maintain the support strength, the structural support assembly 6 includes a sector block 61 inserted into the round tube 1. The sector block 61 fits and presses against the inner side of the flattened part 2. An expansion assembly is provided between the sector block 61 and the flattened part 2, and a pressing assembly linked to the expansion assembly is provided between the sector block 61 and the tenon 3. The expansion assembly moves under the action of the pressing assembly, applying a support torque to the inner wall of the flattened part 2 to prevent the two sides of the flattened part 2 from caving in under pressure.

[0028] Even further, the pressing assembly includes a linkage block 62 that is slidably and telescopically installed in the sector block 61 and opposite to the tenon 3. A limiting groove 63 and a limiting strip 64 that are slidably connected to each other are provided between the linkage block 62 and the sector block 61. The linkage block 62 slides when the tenon 3 is inserted and installed, and the limiting groove 63 and the limiting strip 64 limit the movement track of the linkage block 62.

[0029] In addition, the expansion assembly includes expansion plates 65 hinged on both sides of the sector block 61. A linkage plate 66 that presses against the linkage block 62 is provided on the inner side of the expansion plate 65, and a linkage inclined surface 67 that presses against each other is provided between the linkage plate 66 and the linkage block 62. The expansion plates 65 open under the pressing of the linkage plate 66 and the guiding action of the linkage inclined surface 67, so that the expansion plates 65 fit against the inner side of the flattened part 2.

[0030] At the same time, a reinforcing rib 11 extending axially is provided on the inner side of the round tube 1, and a reinforcing ring 12 surrounding circumferentially is provided on the inner side at the junction of the round tube 1 and the flattened part 2. The reinforcing rib 11 and the reinforcing ring 12 are integrally formed with the round tube 1, and the two cooperate to improve the structural strength of the round tube 1 itself.

[0031] Visibly, a limiting step surface 13 is provided between the end of the flattened part 2 and the outer side of the tenon 3. After the tenon 3 is completely inserted, its limiting step surface 13 ensures the matching effect at the junction of the flattened part 2 and the tenon 3, and at the same time realizes the axial limit of the tenon 3.

[0032] Obviously, the surface chrome plating treatment of the round tube 1 and the tenon 3 improves their surface corrosion resistance and wear resistance, thus extending the overall service life of the grid structure.

[0033] Preferably, the tenon joint 4 is equipped with a grid seat 7 with a tenon groove 71, and the tenon groove 71 is arranged in central symmetry relative to the grid seat 7. A plurality of round tubes 1 are combined into a frame structure through the grid seat 7, and the grid seat 7 is connected by threaded parts to the corresponding clamping parts to limit the tenon 3 slidingly inserted into the tenon groove 71.

[0034] In summary, the principle of this embodiment is that the structure support assembly 6 supports the flattened part 2, improving the structural strength at the junction of the flattened part 2 and the round tube 1. The threaded locking assembly 5 ensures the stable connection between the flattened part 2 and the tenon 3, making the overall grid structure not easily deformed under pressure.

Those skilled in the art to which the present invention pertains can make various modifications or supplements to the described specific embodiments or use similar methods for substitution, but will not deviate from the spirit of the present invention or exceed the scope defined by the appended claims.

[0036] Although terms such as round tube 1, reinforcing rib 11, reinforcing ring 12, limiting step surface 13, flattened part 2, tenon 3, tenon joint 4, threaded locking assembly 5, locking hole 51, locking cylinder 52, bolt 53, nut 54, structure support assembly 6, sector block 61, linkage block 62, limiting groove 63, limiting strip 64, expansion plate 65, linkage plate 66, linkage inclined surface 67, grid seat 7, tenon groove 71, etc. are used more in this article, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded.
