Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of large-span space grid structure, concretely to a rod end shrinkage welding ball node containing a taper pipe. BACKGROUND
[0002] The net rack structure is a kind of commonly used space truss structure, and it is widely applied in large-span coal shed, gymnasium and airport and other facilities due to good stress performance, large space stiffness, economic safety, standardized production and installation.The node of net rack is space node, and the number of gathered bars is more, and comes from different directions, and the structure is more complex.Therefore, whether the design of net rack node is reasonable directly influences the stress performance of whole structure, production and installation, steel consumption and engineering cost etc., and it is one of important links in net rack design.
[0003] The node of large-span space grid structure is mainly divided into bolt ball node and welding ball node.The bolt ball is solid ball, so when the diameter of ball body is larger, the weight of bolt ball is larger, leading to excessive total steel consumption and weight of structure.The welding ball is hollow ball, is suitable for larger diameter ball node, and bars are directly welded on the surface of ball body, and the amount of field welding is large, due to the diameter of bar being larger or due to the reason of bar angle being smaller, so the diameter of welding ball is very large, thereby causing excessive steel consumption and weight of node and structure, and being not conducive to field construction. CONTENT OF UTILITY MODEL
[0004] The utility model aims at providing a kind of rod end shrinkage welding ball node containing taper pipe, can effectively reduce the diameter of welding ball, thereby reduce the steel consumption, weight and field workload of welding ball node.
[0005] The utility model technical scheme is as follows: a kind of rod end shrinkage welding ball node containing taper pipe, including round pipe bar, taper pipe, small diameter round pipe and welding ball.The two ends of taper pipe are provided with ring rib, and there are four vertical stiffening ribs between the two ring ribs, round pipe bar is connected with one end of taper pipe by butt weld, the other end of taper pipe is connected with small diameter round pipe by butt weld, and small diameter round pipe is connected with welding ball by butt weld.
[0006] Preferably, the wall thickness of the taper pipe is the same, and the pipe diameter gradually decreases along the direction from the end connected to the round pipe to the end connected to the small diameter round pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the minimum cross-sectional area of the taper pipe is 1.1-1.2 times the cross-sectional area of the round pipe bar.
[0008] Preferably, the ratio of the outer diameter of the small diameter round pipe to the outer diameter of the round pipe bar is in the range of 0.5-0.7.
[0009] Preferably, the cross-sectional area of the small diameter round pipe is 1.1-1.2 times the cross-sectional area of the round pipe bar.
[0010] Preferably, a welding bevel is provided between the round tube rod and the small-diameter round tube and the tapered tube.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Compared with traditional welded ball joints, this utility model cleverly introduces a tapered tube containing ring ribs and vertical stiffening ribs and a small-diameter round tube between the rod and the welded ball, which has many advantages. It can reduce the diameter of the welded ball, reduce the amount of steel used and the overall weight of the welded ball joint, and enhance the strength of the welded ball joint. At the same time, the connection of the round tube rod, tapered tube, ring ribs, vertical stiffening ribs and small-diameter round tube can be completed in the factory, realizing standardized and industrialized production. This not only ensures the quality of the project, but also significantly reduces the difficulty of on-site installation, greatly accelerates the project progress, and brings considerable economic benefits.
