Method used

A symmetrical semicircular plate structure is adopted. By welding semicircular plates and extension sections on both sides of the rack plate, an integrated structure is formed, which increases the cross-sectional area and section modulus of the chord and optimizes the design to improve the load-bearing capacity and force balance.

Benefits of technology

While keeping the width of the rack plate unchanged, the load-bearing capacity and section modulus of the chord are increased, the weight of the pile legs is reduced, the material utilization rate is improved, the design of diagonal braces with larger diameters is adapted, and the material cost is reduced.

[0006] In view of the defects in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a symmetrical half-round plate structure suitable for truss type pile leg, which increases the strength of chord under the condition of maintaining the size of rack plate, improves the bearing capacity of pile leg, and increases the section modulus of chord under the condition of maintaining the same cross-sectional area, further reduces the weight of pile leg.

[0007] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] A symmetrical half-round plate structure suitable for truss type pile leg, comprising half-round plates and rack plates, the half-round plates are provided with two, and are arranged as semicircular shape; two ends of the two half-round plates are respectively welded on two side surfaces of the rack plates;

[0009] The two ends of the half-round plate are connected with extension sections;

[0010] The half-round plate and the extension section are arranged as an integral type;

[0011] The lower end of the extension section is welded with the two side faces of the rack plate and forms a welding spot;

[0012] An included angle is formed between the outer side face of the welding spot and the side face of the rack plate.

[0013] Preferably, the material and thickness of the semi-circular plate and the extension section are the same.

[0014] Preferably, the angle of the included angle is 30°±1°.

[0015] Preferably, the outer corner on the welding spot is a rounded corner.

[0016] The symmetrical semi-circular plate structure provided by the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1) The cross-sectional area and the cross-sectional modulus of the chord are increased, and the load-bearing capacity and the stress balance of the chord are improved, while the width of the rack plate is unchanged. Since the rack plate is obtained by cutting a fixed-width thick plate, the width of the rack plate can be optimized to improve the utilization rate of the rack plate.

[0018] 2) The symmetrical semi-circular plate structure arrangement maximizes the cross-sectional area and the cross-sectional modulus of the chord, and also balances the stress of the chord of the pile leg.

[0019] 3) Under the condition of the same width of the rack plate, the new chord section has a larger moment of inertia radius, so that the new chord has a larger cross-sectional modulus under the same cross-sectional area, thereby further improving the load-bearing capacity of the chord.

[0020] 4) The chord structure can be adapted to a larger diameter inclined strut under the condition that the width of the semi-circular plate and the rack plate is unchanged, so that a larger diameter but thinner wall thickness inclined strut can be designed, further reducing the weight of the pile leg, reducing the material cost, and improving the utilization rate.
