Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of large-span spatial grid structures, specifically a threaded sleeve friction-welded solid ball node. Background Art

[0002] The nodes of the spatial grid structure are spatial nodes, which gather a large number of rods from different directions and have a relatively complex structure. Therefore, the rationality of the spatial grid structure node design directly affects the stress performance, manufacturing and installation, steel consumption and project cost of the entire structure, and is one of the important links in the design of the spatial grid structure. Round steel tube rods are the main form of spatial grid structure rods. The circular steel tube rods are connected together through nodes to form a spatial grid structure. A good spatial grid structure node should have the characteristics of light weight, simple structure, reliable force transmission, and easy processing and assembly.

[0003] The nodes of large-span spatial grid structures are mainly divided into bolt-ball nodes and welded hollow-ball nodes. Bolt-ball nodes are solid balls, so when the diameter of the ball is large, the weight of the bolt-ball is very large, resulting in excessive total steel usage and weight of the structure. However, bolt-ball nodes connect the rods to the ball through high-strength bolts. The installation process is simple and quick, and no on-site welding is required, which can greatly shorten the construction period. In addition, the bolt connection is not affected by factors such as weather and site. It has strong adaptability to the construction environment and can be prefabricated in the factory and assembled on-site, so the construction efficiency is high. Welded balls are hollow balls, which are suitable for ball nodes with larger diameters. When subjected to large loads and complex stress states, welded ball nodes have higher reliability. However, the quality of welded ball nodes is greatly affected by the welding process and the technical level of the welder. If the welding quality is not good, welding defects such as pores, slag inclusions, cracks, etc. are likely to occur, affecting the strength and durability of the node. In addition, the welding work needs to be carried out on-site, and the construction environment is complex and greatly affected by factors such as weather and site. Utility Model Content

[0019] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0020] ] The schematic diagram of the threaded sleeve friction welding solid ball node of the utility model is as follows Figures 1-2As shown, it includes a steel solid ball 1, a threaded sleeve 2, a high-strength bolt 3, a bolt sleeve 4, a cone head 5, and a tubular rod 6. The threaded sleeve 2 is first friction-welded to the cutting surface of the steel solid ball. The other end of the threaded sleeve 2 is connected to the tubular rod 6 through the high-strength bolt 3. The high-strength bolt 4 at the end of the rod is screwed into the threaded sleeve 3 until the end face of the threaded sleeve 3 is tightened against the end face of the bolt sleeve 5. This threaded sleeve structure makes it possible to achieve a fixed connection between the node and the rod at the construction site by simply screwing the high-strength bolt 3 into the threaded sleeve 2.

The solid steel ball 1 is processed in the factory, and the welded portion of the solid steel ball is cut according to the spatial orientation of the rod to which it is connected and the dimensions of the threaded sleeve. The welded surface of the threaded sleeve 2 is then friction-welded to the cut surface of the solid steel ball 1. The components connected in the factory according to the above process are transported to the construction site. At the construction site, a high-strength bolt 3 at the end of the rod is screwed into the threaded sleeve 2 until the end face of the threaded sleeve 2 is tightly pressed against the end face of the bolt sleeve 4. The fastening screw is then screwed into the bolt slot to complete the installation.
