TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to modularization building. BACKGROUND
[0002] Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is a highly integrated prefabricated assembly system, with the advantages of short construction period, green environmental protection, small dependence on labor, etc. It is the development focus and the latest trend of China's construction industry. In the whole life cycle of modular building, the connection technology between modules becomes the primary concern, and the connection reliability directly affects the overall safety of the structure. However, the existing connection technology is still traditional, and manual adjustment and positioning are required during installation. Traditional bolt connection method is generally used, which consumes more resources, requires a large construction space, has complicated construction steps, a long operation period, and is difficult to truly play the advantages of modular building in high industrialization, standardization and flexibility. Therefore, it is necessary to reasonably optimize and design the connection node. The existing technology mainly has the following problems:
[0003] Complex installation process: The components of modular building are mostly prefabricated in the factory and installed on site. During installation, the connection between modules requires manual initial alignment, manual adjustment and positioning, and manual alignment and tightening. Excessive manual operation not only leads to low installation efficiency and long time consumption, but also increases the risk of loose connection or inaccurate positioning.
[0004] Complicated and time-consuming construction steps: The connection method in modular building mostly uses bolt connection, and the time for on-site installation and adjustment often accounts for a large part of the on-site construction period. Moreover, bolt tightening and other operations are often required at the connection, which often has problems such as long assembly time, complex process, and construction risk, and has high requirements for the number of workers and construction technology on site
[0005] Insufficient flexibility and detachability: In the existing modular building connection system, many connection designs lack the necessary flexibility and detachability. Fixed connection methods are not conducive to the reconfiguration or replacement of modules, limiting the adaptability and sustainability of the building, especially in scenarios requiring building reconstruction, expansion or future modification. In addition, fixed connection methods may cause structural damage when disassembled or require more complex disassembly methods, thereby increasing disassembly costs and time and reducing the reuse rate of building materials.
[0006] Deficiency in stress performance: The existing connection nodes of modular building also have certain defects in stress performance, such as connection biasing to hinge and difficulty in transmitting bending moment, or low connection bearing capacity only suitable for low-rise buildings, or not conducive to structural safety. SUMMARY
[0007] The utility model discloses a kind of for modular building's push piece type column-column, for modular building's push piece type column-column connection node-1-
[0008] Connection node, characterized in that: including upper column, lower column and node connection system.
[0009] The lower end of the upper column is an upper column lower end plate. The upper column lower end plate has a square hole at the lower end. The upper column has a limiting plate inside. The space S between the limiting plate and the upper column lower end plate accommodates an adjusting nut. The upper column has an operating hole on the side. The operating hole allows the space S to communicate with the outside of the upper column.
[0010] The node connection system includes a connector, two push pieces, two shafts and a connecting screw. The connector has a connecting screw at the upper end and a reverse U-shaped structure at the lower end. The two push pieces are hinged to the reverse U-shaped structure by the two shafts. When not subjected to external force, one end of the push piece is hinged inside the reverse U-shaped structure, and the other end extends outside the reverse U-shaped structure. When subjected to external force, one end of the push piece is hinged inside the reverse U-shaped structure, and the other end turns into the reverse U-shaped structure.
[0011] The limiting plate and the upper column lower end plate both have through holes, and the connecting screw of the node connection system passes through the two through holes and is screwed into the adjusting nut in the space S.
[0012] The upper end of the lower column is a lower column upper end plate. The lower column upper end plate has a square through hole. During assembly, the connector at the lower end of the upper column is inserted into the square through hole, and the adjusting nut is tightened to move the connector upward in the square hole until the push piece tightly presses the lower end of the lower column upper end plate.
[0013] Further, the upper column and the lower column are square columns. The operating hole is a square hole on the side of the upper column, through which a wrench can be inserted into the space S to tighten the adjusting nut.
[0014] Further, the cross section of the push piece is a parallelogram. After the two push pieces are hinged to the connector, they form a V-shaped structure. When the included angle of the V-shaped structure is the largest, the upper end of the push piece is a wedge-shaped locking tongue structure exposed outside the connector.
[0015] The technical effect of the utility model is self-evident. The push piece is rotated to retract and pop out, which realizes the auxiliary positioning of column-column connection and greatly simplifies the node connection technology of construction operation. The node has good stress performance, and only one connecting bolt needs to be tightened to complete the connection work on the construction site, providing a more efficient, accurate and reliable connection method, which significantly improves the connection technology of modular buildings.
