Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention applies to the field of building structures, specifically to prefabricated reinforced concrete buildings using standard structural units as assembly units. Background Technology

[0002] Prefabricated buildings can be divided into two directions based on the assembly units. One is to use structural components as assembly units, breaking down the building structure into basic units such as beams, slabs, and columns. These components are transported to the construction site and connected by local cast-in-place connections to form an integral structure. This form is currently the most common type of prefabricated reinforced concrete structure in China. The other form is to use standard structural units as assembly units, breaking down the building structure into standard structural units, such as a standard room, which contains vertical and horizontal components, forming a stable structural system. This type of structure often uses steel structures and has the advantages of being lightweight and easy to assemble.

[0003] In rural areas, there is a type of prefabricated reinforced concrete house called a "cement house." It uses reinforced concrete structural units as assembly units, with the main body constructed of reinforced concrete. It has a right-angled cavity structure with a closed perimeter, a covered top, and a hollow lower section. Openings for doors and windows can be added to the sides and top according to usage and assembly needs. However, due to a lack of systematic design, it suffers from numerous problems and shortcomings. For example, there is no connection between different structural units, leading to significant issues with overall integrity and earthquake resistance; the size of individual modules is strictly limited by transportation constraints; the lack of supporting design results in lower product quality; pipelines are not pre-installed; and users must handle the roof design and waterproofing themselves. The biggest problem with this type of structure is the lack of reliable connection between different reinforced concrete structural units. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a prefabricated connection node that is easy to install, reliable in bearing force, and used for splicing between reinforced concrete structural units. The structural unit is made of reinforced concrete, with right-angled hollow structures at all corners. The wall thickness of the structural unit is greater than the width of the connecting piece in the corresponding direction, and openings are provided around it as needed.

[0005] This invention is achieved through the following measures: a prefabricated connection node that can simultaneously achieve connections in the vertical, horizontal, and front-back directions, characterized in that the connectors are made of metal and are located at the corners of the structural unit. The top one is the upper connector and the bottom one is the lower connector. Vertical connections are achieved through secondary grouting of the upper connector, the lower connector, and the cavity between them. Horizontal connections are achieved through the fastening between the upper connector and the lower connector and bolt connection with a special plate.

[0006] The upper connector is a hollow component with a single-sided opening on the upper surface. A connecting and adjusting steel bar is installed on its horizontal contact surface with the concrete. One end of the steel bar is welded to the connector, and the other end is threaded. It connects to the structural unit steel bar through a sleeve, and precise positioning is achieved by rotating the sleeve. The vertical connecting and adjusting steel bar extends upward into the connector and protrudes from the upper surface (the topmost structural unit, flush with the upper surface). The lower end is threaded and connects to the structural unit steel bar through a sleeve, and precise vertical positioning is achieved by rotating the sleeve. The upper end is made into a cone to form a special lifting nail, which can be used as a hook during the lifting stage when used with a duckbill lifting device. After the upper structural unit is installed, the internal cavity is filled with grout to achieve a permanent vertical connection.

[0007] The lower connector is a hollow metal component with a single-sided opening on its lower surface. Two of its sides protrude downwards and engage with the upper connector. A connecting and adjusting steel bar is installed on its horizontal contact surface with the concrete. One end of the steel bar is welded to the connector, and the other end is threaded. It is connected to the structural unit steel bar through a sleeve, and precise positioning is achieved by rotating the sleeve. The lower end of the vertical connecting and adjusting steel bar is welded to the connector, and the upper end is threaded. It is connected to the structural unit steel bar through a sleeve, and precise vertical positioning is achieved by rotating the sleeve. A grouting pipe and an overflow pipe are installed on the side wall. One end of the pipe is connected to the connector, and the other end leads to the inner wall of the structural unit. The lower elevation is the grouting pipe, and the higher elevation is the overflow pipe.

[0008] The openings of the grouting pipe and overflow pipe of the lower connector are both located at the lower part of the inner corner of the structural unit.

[0009] The special plates are made of metal and are divided into T-type and cross-type according to the number of connecting structural units. The cross-type is further divided into two types according to the number of connecting structural units. The bolt holes of the special plates are elongated to facilitate the adjustment of dimensional errors caused by installation.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this node are as follows: Connectors are pre-embedded during the prefabrication of structural units, requiring only bolt connections and grouting during on-site installation, all within the upper or internal space of the structural unit. Simultaneous connection and force transmission in all directions (up, down, left, right, front, and back) of the structural unit is possible; the special design of the vertical connection allows the upper connectors to also function as lifting nails during installation, enabling efficient hoisting in conjunction with duckbill lifting devices. After connection, each structural unit is tightly joined with no external protrusions, allowing for arbitrary combinations and connections between units. The connectors are made of metal, and various auxiliary components (railings, eaves) and decorative components outside the structural unit can be directly bolted or welded to the connectors.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To clearly illustrate the technical features of this solution, the following detailed implementation method will be used to describe the solution.

[0021] The upper connector 1 is a single-sided open cavity component. A connecting and adjusting steel bar 1a is set on its horizontal contact surface with the concrete. One end of the steel bar is welded to the connector, and the other end is threaded. It is connected to the structural unit steel bar through a threaded sleeve 1c, and precise positioning is achieved by rotating the threaded sleeve 1c. The vertical connecting and adjusting steel bar 1b extends into the connector and protrudes from the upper surface (the top structural unit, flush with the upper surface). The lower end is threaded and is connected to the structural unit steel bar through a threaded sleeve 1d. Vertical precise positioning is achieved by rotating the threaded sleeve 1d. The upper end is made into a cone shape to form a special lifting nail, which is used as a lifting hook in conjunction with a special duckbill lifting tool during the lifting stage.

[0022] The lower connector 2 is inverted, with two protruding sides that engage with the upper connector 1. A connecting and adjusting steel bar 2a is installed horizontally on its concrete contact surface. One end of the steel bar is welded to the connector, and the other end is threaded, connecting to the structural unit steel bar via a threaded sleeve 2b. Precise positioning is achieved by rotating the threaded sleeve 2b. The lower end of the vertical connecting and adjusting steel bar is welded to the connector, and the upper end is threaded, connecting to the structural unit steel bar via a threaded sleeve 2b. Precise vertical positioning is achieved by rotating the threaded sleeve 2b. A grouting pipe 2c and an overflow pipe 2d are installed on the side wall. One end of each pipe connects to the connector, and the other end extends to the inner wall of the structural unit. The lower-elevation pipe is grouting pipe 2c, and the higher-elevation pipe is overflow pipe 2d. High-strength grout is injected into the internal cavity through grouting pipe 2c until the grout flows out of overflow pipe 2d, achieving a permanent vertical connection.

[0028] The three structural units are vertically connected by a special plate 3 in a T-shape, and horizontally connected by a special plate 3 in a cross shape. After the three structural units are in place, the horizontal connection can be achieved by installing the special plate 3 and bolts 4.

[0029] Example 3:

[0031] The four structural units are vertically connected by a special plate 3 in a T-shape, and horizontally connected by a special plate 3 in a cross shape. After the four structural units are in place, the horizontal connection can be achieved by installing the special plate 3 and bolts 4.

[0034] The eight structural units are connected by a special plate 3 in a cross shape. After the eight structural units are in place, they can be connected horizontally by installing the special plate 3 and bolts 4.
