Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering connection equipment technology, specifically a socket-type male-female integrated connector using stud-welded anchor bars. Background Technology

[0002] Longitudinal joint connectors for prefabricated tunnel segments are mostly designed as bolted connectors or male-female separate socket connectors. The male-female separate socket connector mainly consists of two components: a C-piece (female connector) and a T-piece (male connector). During assembly, the T-piece is inserted into the C-piece. The connecting components and anchor bars are usually mechanically connected, which occupies a large space and consumes a lot of material. Chinese patent CN218376470U discloses a male-female integrated connector for the longitudinal joint of shield tunnels, proposing to integrate the male and female connectors into one unit, i.e., one connector simultaneously includes both the C-piece and the T-piece, and the connectors are not distinguished by gender and can be inserted into each other. Although this patent presents the design concept of a male-female integrated connector, the connector as a whole is relatively bulky, and the space occupied by the anchor bar and connector using a pressure plate installation is large, resulting in high material consumption, which is not conducive to the application and promotion of the connector. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of this, the present invention provides a socket-type male and female integrated connector using stud welding anchor bars, comprising a female connector, a male connector and two anchor bars arranged in parallel, the two anchor bars being respectively connected to the ends of the female connector and the male connector;

[0004] The female connector is provided with a connector slot, and the end of the connector slot is provided with a connector opening;

[0005] The male connector is provided with a connector web, and the end of the connector web is provided with a connector sliding head;

[0006] The connector slide-in head is used to engage with the connector slot of the connector piece, and the connector web plate engages with the connector slot.

[0007] Furthermore, the connector slot is provided with an end sealing plate, which is located at the bottom of the connector slot and between the female connector and the male connector.

[0009] Furthermore, the web of the connector is connected to the second connecting block, and the two sides of the connector sliding head have protrusions that are connected to the web of the connector.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the joint web is smaller than the width of the second connecting block, and the width of the connection between the joint web and the second connecting block varies uniformly.

[0011] Furthermore, the width of the connector slide head gradually tapers along the direction perpendicular to the first connecting block, and the widest part of the connector slide head matches the shape and size of the bottom of the connector slot.

[0012] Furthermore, the end face of the first connecting block away from the connector slot is the first connecting surface, and the end face of the second connecting block away from the connector web is the second connecting surface. Both the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are planes, and the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface are located on the same plane.

[0013] Furthermore, the two anchor bars are respectively perpendicularly connected to the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface.

[0014] Furthermore, each pair of anchor bars is connected to the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface by stud welding.

[0015] Furthermore, the two anchor bars are respectively connected at the center of the first connecting surface and the second connecting surface.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model on a socket-type male-female integrated connector using stud-welded anchor bars are as follows:

[0017] (1) The connector includes an integrated female connector and a male connector. The female connector is provided with a connector slot and a connector opening at the end of the connector slot. The male connector is provided with a connector web and a connector sliding head at the end of the connector web. When the connector is working, the connector sliding head on the male connector can slide into the connector slot on the female connector of the connector connected to it. This allows the female and male connectors of the two connectors to engage with each other, ensuring that the two connectors are tightly and firmly connected, while simplifying the connection process.

[0018] (2) The connector adopts a male-female integrated joint form. The female joint has a circular outline, and the web of the male joint is thinned, which can make the joint structure of the connector more reasonable and save material usage while ensuring the reliability of mechanical performance.

[0019] (3) The anchor bars of the connector are connected to the male and female joints by stud welding, which eliminates the mechanical connection process of the anchor bars, improves the reliability of the anchor bar connection, and shortens the overall length of the connector, thereby saving material consumption.

[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides a socket-type male-female integrated connector using stud-welded anchor bars, comprising a female connector 1, a male connector 2 and two anchor bars 4 arranged in parallel, the two anchor bars 4 being respectively connected to the ends of the female connector 1 and the male connector 2.

[0031] The female connector 1 is provided with a limiting ring, and the limiting ring is provided with a connector groove 11 that passes through the limiting ring. The end of the connector groove 11 is provided with a connector opening 12, which is a notch on the limiting ring.

[0032] The male connector is provided with a connector web 21, and a connector sliding head 22 is provided at the end of the connector web 21; wherein, the length of the connector web 21 is longer than the length of the limiting retaining ring, so that the connector sliding head 22 at the end of the connector web 21 is staggered with the connector slot 11. The connector sliding head 22 is used to engage with the connector slot 11 of the connector to which it is connected, and the width of the connector web 21 is equal to or slightly smaller than the width of the connector slot 12, so that the connector web 21 engages with the connector slot 12.

[0033] In use, the two connectors are used in pairs. The male connector 22 of one connector slides into the slot 11 of the female connector 1 of the other connector. This creates two sets of male and female connector locking structures when the two connectors are connected, ensuring a tight and secure connection. Furthermore, the sliding locking mechanism simplifies the connection process and improves efficiency.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment, the connector slot 11 is provided with an end sealing plate 3, which is located at the bottom of the connector slot and between the female connector 1 and the male connector 2. The end sealing plate 3 can improve the strength of the connector slot 11 of the male connector.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment, the female connector 1 includes a first connecting block, and the male connector 2 includes a second connecting block. The first and second connecting blocks are an integral structure. The connector bayonet 12 is located at the end of the limiting ring away from the first connecting block. The connector web 21 is connected to the second connecting block. The connector sliding head 22 has protrusions on both sides that are connected to the connector web 21. The protrusions have a circular outline, which makes the overall connector web 21 of the female connector have a circular outline, improving the stress state of the female connector web 21 and reducing the problem of gravitational concentration during the stress process.

[0036] In a preferred embodiment, the width of the joint web 21 is smaller than the width of the second connecting block, and the width of the connection between the joint web 21 and the second connecting block varies uniformly. This structure allows for thinning of the joint web of the male connector, saving material and making the stress distribution at the joint web connection more reasonable.

[0037] refer to Figure 4 In a preferred embodiment, the width of the connector slide-in head 22 gradually decreases along the direction perpendicular to the first connecting block, and the widest part of the connector slide-in head 22 matches the shape and size of the bottom of the connector slot 11. This structure allows the initial sliding end size of the connector slide-in head 22 to be smaller than the size of the connector slot 11, facilitating the sliding and engaging process of the connector slide-in head 22.

[0038] refer to Figures 2-3 In a preferred embodiment, the end face of the first connecting block away from the joint slot 11 is the first connecting surface, and the end face of the second connecting block away from the joint web 21 is the second connecting surface. Both the first and second connecting surfaces are planes located on the same plane. The two anchor bars 4 are respectively perpendicularly connected to the first and second connecting surfaces. Both anchor bars 4 are connected to the first and second connecting surfaces by stud welding. The two anchor bars 4 are respectively connected at the center of the first and second connecting surfaces. The anchor bars of this connector are connected to the male and female joints by stud welding, which eliminates the need for mechanical connection of the anchor bars, improves the reliability of the anchor bar connection, and shortens the overall length of the connector, thereby saving material consumption. The first and second connecting surfaces simplify and facilitate the processing of the connecting surfaces. The anchor bars 4 are connected at the center of the first or second connecting surface, which improves the centering of the force on the first or second connecting surface.
