Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building construction equipment technology, specifically relating to an adjustable figure-eight support device for lightweight building construction machines. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction industry, a building construction machine is an integrated equipment platform, mainly composed of a support power system, a steel platform system, a hanging frame, and a protection system. Internally, it forms a factory-like assembly line, capable of completing tasks such as steel column hoisting, rebar tying, formwork erection, concrete pouring, and concrete curing layer by layer. To ensure comprehensive coverage of the construction area, a building construction machine typically needs to cover a construction area of 3 to 4 floors. Therefore, the column height of a building construction machine is relatively high.
[0003] Lightweight construction machines, compared to traditional heavy-duty machines, are significantly lighter, resulting in smaller column cross-sections, which can affect their lateral stiffness. Therefore, to ensure structural stability and construction safety, it is necessary to enhance lateral bracing measures. When installing these lateral braces, they need to accommodate errors during manufacturing and assembly, as well as variations in structural dimensions. However, traditional installation methods have relatively limited adjustability, making it difficult to meet the adjustment needs of various types and sizes of projects. This not only increases the difficulty of on-site installation and dismantling but also limits the product's versatility and reusability. Therefore, developing an adjustable lateral bracing system is crucial for improving the practicality and economic efficiency of lightweight construction machines. Utility Model Content

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. Technical features in various embodiments of this utility model can be combined appropriately without conflict.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in a preferred embodiment of this utility model, this embodiment provides an adjustable V-bracing device for a lightweight building construction machine, which is installed between tower columns 3. The tower columns 3 of the building construction machine are vertically upward, and the bottom of the tower columns 3 is fixedly connected to the lower triangular frame 2. The triangular frame 2 is fixed to the shear wall 1 by anchoring.
[0032] The adjustable figure-eight brace device provided by this utility model includes an upper figure-eight horizontal brace 4, a figure-eight diagonal brace 5, a lower figure-eight horizontal brace 6, a figure-eight brace mounting base 7, and a tower column connector 8. In this embodiment, the figure-eight brace mounting base (7) is fixed to the end of the tower column away from the tripod (2) by a detachable connection, and the tower column connector 8 is fixed to the end of the tower column 3 near the tripod 2 by welding. The tower column connector 8 includes two parallel steel plates, each with holes for connection, specifically as follows: Figure 8 As shown.
[0033] In the device provided by this utility model, the figure-eight brace mounting base 7 is detachably connected to the tower column 3 at the position where the figure-eight upper horizontal brace 4 needs to be installed. The figure-eight brace mounting base 7 provided in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 7As shown, the figure-eight brace mounting base 7 includes a base plate 71, two upright plates 72, and four stiffening plates 73. The two upright plates 72 are vertically fixed to the base plate 71 by welding. Several holes are provided on the base plate 71 for detachable connection with the tower column 3. Bolts pass through these holes, and the figure-eight brace mounting base 7 is fixed to the tower column 3 by bolt connection. Through holes are provided on the two upright plates 72 for connection with the upper horizontal brace 4. To increase the local rigidity of the structure at the figure-eight brace mounting base 7 and reduce deformation, in this embodiment, two stiffening plates 73 are vertically fixed to the outer side of each upright plate 72 by welding. When subjected to external forces, the stiffening plates can disperse stress, reduce local stress concentration, and prevent structural damage at that location.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the figure-eight upper horizontal brace 4 provided in this embodiment includes an upper horizontal brace member 41 and a lower connecting member 42. The upper horizontal brace member 41 is vertically arranged between adjacent tower columns 3, and its arrangement direction is parallel to the ground. The lower connecting member 42 is fixed to the lower surface of the upper horizontal brace member 41. The structure of the lower connecting member 42 is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, it is used to connect with the figure-eight brace 5. The upper horizontal brace member 41 has through holes at both ends for connecting to the vertical plate 72 of the figure-eight brace mounting base 7. By connecting the upper horizontal brace 41 to the vertical plate 72 and the through holes at both ends of the upper horizontal brace member 41, a detachable connection is formed between the upper horizontal brace 4 and the figure-eight brace mounting base 7. In this embodiment, both ends of the upper horizontal brace member 41 are respectively inserted and fixed between the vertical plate 72 of the figure-eight brace mounting base 7 on the tower column 3, and a pin is inserted into the through hole, thus forming a detachable connection between the upper horizontal brace 4 and the figure-eight brace mounting base 7. For ease of installation, both ends of the upper horizontal brace member 41 are chamfered.
[0035] like Figure 5 As shown, the figure-eight brace 5 provided in this embodiment includes a brace member 51, a brace end connector 52, and a brace threaded steel pipe 53.

In this embodiment, both the internal thread inside the brace end connector 52 and the brace threaded steel pipe 53 have coarse threads. Because the coarse threads have a larger pitch, the cross-sectional size of each thread is also relatively large, thus they can withstand greater tensile and impact forces. The other end of the diagonal bracing threaded steel pipe 53 is provided with a through hole for passing through the connector. In this embodiment, a pin connector is used so that the diagonal bracing threaded steel pipes 53 at both ends of the figure-eight diagonal brace 5 form a detachable connection with the lower connector 42 and the tower column connector 8, respectively.
[0036] like Figure 6As shown, the figure-eight lower cross brace 6 includes a lower cross brace member 61, a lower cross brace end connector 62, and a lower cross brace threaded steel pipe 63. The lower cross brace end connector 62 is fixed to both ends of the lower cross brace member 61 by welding, and the lower cross brace end connector 62 has an internal thread. The lower cross brace threaded steel pipe 63 has a matching external thread at one end connected to the lower cross brace end connector 62. Both the internal thread inside the lower cross brace end connector 62 and the external thread on the lower cross brace threaded steel pipe 63 have a certain length, which can be adjusted according to different spacings. In this embodiment, the threads inside the lower cross brace end connector 62 and on the lower cross brace threaded steel pipe 63 are coarse threads. The other end of the lower cross brace threaded steel pipe 63 has a through hole for passing through the connector. In this embodiment, a pin connector is used, so that the lower cross brace threaded steel pipes 63 at both ends of the figure-eight lower cross brace 6 are detachably connected to the tower column connectors 8 on both sides.
[0037] In this embodiment, the upper horizontal brace 41, the diagonal brace 51, and the lower horizontal brace 61 are all made of steel pipes. This embodiment does not limit the specific dimensions of the steel pipes; those skilled in the art can select them according to actual conditions.
[0038] The figure-eight bracing device provided by this utility model is suitable for lightweight building construction machine columns and can significantly improve the lateral stiffness of the columns. This figure-eight bracing device mainly achieves rapid on-site assembly through mechanical connection. At the same time, the innovative application of threaded and modular hole design allows for a certain degree of adjustability during installation, thereby greatly improving the convenience and flexibility of installation.
[0039] The embodiments described above are merely preferred solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, all technical solutions obtained by equivalent substitution or equivalent transformation fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
