Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model mainly relates to the technical field of composite material truss connection points, in particular to a split-type ear-piece connection node structure. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, composite materials, as a new structural material, have been widely used in various fields due to their unique advantages, such as high specific strength, high specific modulus, and designability. Truss structures are an effective structural form in aerostats, space stations, satellites, radomes, and antenna support systems. Due to their simple structure, reasonable load distribution, and ease of installation and disassembly, they have broad application prospects. Compared with traditional metal truss structures, composite truss structures have significantly reduced deadweight, showing clear advantages in replacing metal materials in truss structures. However, due to the short development time and immaturity of composite technology, the design and manufacture of composite trusses still require more experience.
[0003] Truss connection nodes have a wide variety of shapes, often forming multi-directional spatial components. Early truss connection nodes were mostly made of metal, with aluminum alloys and carbon steel alloys being the most common. With the advancement of composite material forming technology, composite connection nodes are gradually replacing metal materials in specialized applications.
[0004] Traditional composite trusses consist of prefabricated composite tubes bonded to metal nodes. Trusses assembled in this manner achieve minimal weight reduction, reducing them by approximately 20%-30%. Furthermore, this design is prone to failure at the connection nodes, with statistics showing that over 70% of failures occur here. In actual engineering construction, the design of composite truss structures is typically controlled by overall deformation, resulting in relatively low stress levels and a large safety reserve for member strength. If the node load-bearing capacity is insufficient, the structure's strength reserve cannot be fully utilized, making it both unsafe and uneconomical. Therefore, when designing composite truss structures, special attention must be paid to the design of the joints to avoid node failures and improve load-bearing efficiency and reliability while reducing overall weight.
[0005] The load-bearing capacity of existing composite truss joints needs to be further improved to ensure the overall structural strength of the truss and extend its service life. In split-lug joints, the gap between the bolts and the bolt holes can easily cause the two symmetrical lugs to be misaligned during installation. Any misalignment can also affect the load-bearing capacity of the split-lug joints. Utility Model Content
