Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of construction engineering, and particularly relates to a grid structure. Background Art

[0002] Traditional grid structures are generally composed of components such as rods, nodes, bolts, sleeves, and jackscrews. While this structure offers advantages such as high load capacity and large spans, making it widely used in roof coverings for buildings such as stadiums and exhibition halls, the traditional bolt-and-ball grid structure also has obvious disadvantages: a large number of components, complex processing and installation processes, and the near-impossibility of controlling the steel content below 10kg / ㎡. These disadvantages make it cost-effective and construction-ineffective in low-load and low-span scenarios.

[0003] Taking the most widely used upright tetrahedral bolt ball grid as an example, a double-layer grid with a 5*5 grid requires a total of 200 rods (400 cone heads or cover plates that need to be welded and polished), 61 ball nodes (461 holes need to be drilled on the node balls), 400 high-strength bolts, 400 sleeves, and 400 top screws.

[0004] Because fabrication often involves multiple processes, such as cutting, welding, grinding, and drilling, on-site installation, especially when the number and variety of components are diverse, requires specialized truss installation workers. This requires a high level of experience and a long installation cycle. Furthermore, traditional bolt-and-ball truss structures often require welding of some components during fabrication, and corrosion and rust prevention cannot be completed on some components before assembly, impacting the process flow, cycle time, and cost.

[0014] As an alternative or supplement to the above-mentioned grid structure: a plurality of web member end nodes and a plurality of upper chord member nodes are vertically overlapped and vertically penetrated by bolts to achieve fixed connection.

[0015] As an alternative or supplement to the above-mentioned grid structure: two mutually intersecting web members are connected at the lower chord node, and the middle nodes of the two web members are vertically overlapped and connected.

[0033] The upper chord 1 is a hollow or solid member, equipped with several upper chord nodes 101. These nodes 101 are flat structures with holes in the middle. The upper and lower surfaces of the flat structures are flat, and the holes extend through the flat structures. The upper chord nodes 101 can be welded to the upper chord 1 or machined from the upper chord 1. Different parts of the upper chord 1 are mechanically flattened and perforated to form the nodes 101.

[0034] The upper chord 1 is divided into an upper transverse bar 1a and an upper longitudinal bar 1b; the upper transverse bar 1a and the upper longitudinal bar 1b are cross-connected at the upper chord node 101; the projection of the structure after several upper chords 1 are connected on the horizontal plane is in the shape of a grid.

[0035] The lower chord 2, similar in structure to the upper chord 1, is a hollow or solid member. It is equipped with several lower chord nodes, which are flat structures with holes in the middle. The flat structures have smooth upper and lower surfaces, and the holes extend through them. The lower chord nodes can be welded to the lower chord 2 or machined from the lower chord 2. Different parts of the lower chord 2 are mechanically flattened and perforated to form the lower chord nodes.

[0036] The lower chord 2 is divided into a lower cross bar 2a and a lower longitudinal bar 2b. The lower cross bar 2a is located below the gap between two adjacent upper cross bars 1a; the lower longitudinal bar 2b is located below the gap between two adjacent upper longitudinal bars 1b; the lower cross bar 2a and the lower longitudinal bar 2b are cross-connected at the lower chord node; the projection of the structure after several lower chords 2 are connected on the horizontal plane is in the shape of a grid.

[0037] The web member 3 is made of a hollow or solid rod and is V-shaped. A web member middle node 301 is provided in the middle of the web member 3, and a web member end node 304 is provided at the end of the web member 3. The middle of the web member 3 is flattened, punched and bent by mechanical equipment to form the web member middle node 301. The end of the web member 3 is flattened, punched and bent by mechanical equipment to form the web member end node 304.

[0038] The web member 3 includes a first oblique rod segment 302 and a second oblique rod segment 303, and the first oblique rod segment 302 and the second oblique rod segment 303 are divided into an eight-shaped portion; the web member middle node 301 is arranged between the first oblique rod segment 302 and the second oblique rod segment 303, and the ends of the first oblique rod segment 302 and the second oblique rod segment 303 are both provided with web member end nodes 304.

Figure 8 As shown, the first oblique rod segment 302 and the second oblique rod segment 303 may also be two separate rods, and the oblique lower ends of the first oblique rod segment 302 and the second oblique rod segment 303 overlap and are connected to each other to form a web member middle node 301.

[0040] The upper chord node 101, lower chord node, mid-web node 301, and end-web node 304 are all flat structures with a hole in the middle. The flat structures have flat upper and lower surfaces, and the hole extends through the upper and lower surfaces of the flat structures. Furthermore, the length of the flat structures, such as the upper chord node 101, lower chord node, mid-web node 301, and end-web node 304, is no less than their width.

[0041] During assembly of the top chord 1, bottom chord 2, and web members 3, the following components are assembled: The multiple web member mid-nodes 301 and the multiple bottom chord nodes overlap vertically. Bolts running vertically through the web member mid-nodes 301 and the bottom chord nodes securely connect the web members 3 to the bottom chord 2. Washers 6 are provided at the connections between the bolts and the web member mid-nodes 301 and the bottom chord nodes. The multiple web member end nodes 304 and the multiple top chord nodes 101 overlap vertically. Bolts running vertically through the web member end nodes 304 and the top chord nodes 101 securely connect the web members 3 to the top chord 1. Washers 6 are provided at the connections between the bolts and the web member end nodes 304 and the top chord nodes 101.

[0042] Two intersecting web members 3 are connected at each lower chord node, and the middle web member nodes 301 of the two web members 3 are vertically overlapped and connected, so that the projection of the grid structure on the horizontal plane is in the shape of a crossbar.

[0043] The above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of illustrating the present invention clearly and are not intended to limit the embodiments. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all embodiments here. Obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this technology.
