The second screw 34 passes through the second fixing nut 211, the top plate 21, the second locking nut 33, and the lower part of the adjusting sleeve 35 in sequence from bottom to top.
[0029] Among the threads of the first screw 31 , the threads of the second screw 34 , the threads of the upper portion of the adjustment sleeve 35 , and the threads of the lower portion of the adjustment sleeve 35 , the direction of any one thread is opposite to the directions of the other three threads.
[0030] Preferably, the first fixing nut 111 is welded to the bottom plate 11 , and the second fixing nut 211 is welded to the top plate 21 .
[0031] In order to enhance the strength of the column connection assembly 2 , a stiffening rib 23 is provided between the top plate 21 and the positioning plate 22 .
[0032] The adjustable connector of the present invention is provided with an adjustment kit 35 of the first screw 31 and the second screw 34, and the direction of any one of the threads of the first screw 31, the thread of the second screw 34, the thread of the upper part of the adjustment kit 35 and the thread of the lower part of the adjustment kit 35 is opposite to the directions of the other three threads, so that by screwing the adjustment kit 35, the distance between the first screw 31 and the second screw 34 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the distance between the hoop connection assembly 1 and the column connection assembly 2, ensuring the smooth connection of the adjustable connector and the steel column.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the specific connection between the adjustable connector of the present invention and the I-beam 2' and the steel column 3' is as follows: the upper portion of the fixing plate 12 is provided with a snap-in interface 121 for receiving the I-beam 2'. Preferably, the snap-in interface 121 is in an inverted T-shape, so that the snap-in interface 121 snaps into the flange 31' and the web 32' of the I-beam 3'.
