[0002] A steel dome is a type of dome-shaped building that uses a steel structure as its main supporting structure. It consists of a steel frame and a glass covering. The steel frame typically uses lightweight steel components, which are welded and connected to form the overall framework of the dome. The glass is fixed to the steel frame using a special method, forming the covering layer of the entire dome. Steel domes are widely used in various large public buildings, such as commercial centers, exhibition halls, stadiums, and airports. Their unique structure and design make these buildings visually more magnificent and spectacular, while also providing excellent lighting and views. Due to the varying curvature of the dome, the connection method between the dome and the supporting steel columns also varies. Traditionally, welding is the most common method. However, since the dome is composed of multiple steel frames, it is necessary to change positions to replace them. Working at heights carries a high risk of injury.

The connector 7 is suspended in mid-air by hoisting. Then turn on the drive motor 2, which drives the gear 3 to rotate. Under the mutual meshing of the gear 3 and the gear ring 4, and the sliding cooperation between the movable ring 5 and the bearing ring frame 1, the gear 3 drives the movable ring 5 to rotate through the gear ring 4. The movable ring 5 drives the mounting seat 8, the limit block 10, and the support. The frame 9 and the support seat 11 are rotated to the installation position in sequence. Then, the steel frame 6 is taken out in sequence, the plug 12 is inserted into the inside of the connector 7, and the bottom is inserted into the support seat 11. With the cooperation of multiple sets of steel frames 6 and connector 7, and with the cooperation of steel frames 6 and support seat 11, multiple sets of steel frames 6 are assembled into a dome, thereby completing the installation and connection of the dome. This realizes the convenient sequential insertion of steel frames to form a dome, avoids the situation where construction personnel have to walk around frequently when working at height, and improves the safety of dome connection and installation.

[0027] Sleeves 13 are provided on the side wall of the other side of the support frame 9, and the sleeves 13 are movably connected to the support frame 9.

[0028] The sleeve 13 is equipped with a sliding rod 17 inside, and the sliding rod 17 is slidably connected to the sleeve 13. The side wall of the sleeve 13 is equipped with a locking pin 18, and the locking pin 18 extends through the sleeve 13 to the inside of the sliding rod 17. The support frame 9 above the limit block 10 is equipped with a bearing seat 11 on its side wall, and the top of the support frame 9 is equipped with an adjusting arm 15.

After multiple sets of steel frames 6 are assembled into a dome, the locking pins 18 are unscrewed, and the sliding rod 17 is moved. The sliding rod 17 slides inside the sleeve 13 and drives the sleeve 13 to rotate. The sliding rod 17 drives the adjusting arm 15 to rotate around the movable shaft 14 through the hinge shaft 16. The support frame 9 provides support for it, so that the adjusting arm 15 rotates and contacts the steel frame 6. The adjusting arm 15 provides support for the steel frame 6, thereby increasing the stability of the dome. After that, the locking pins 18 are reinserted and tightened to fix the sliding rod 17 and the sleeve 13. If a set of support frames 9 needs to be maintained, simply pull the support frame 9 upward. The support frame 9 will drive the limiting block 10 to be pulled out from inside the mounting base 8, so that the support frame 9 is separated from the mounting base 8. After maintenance, the above operation is repeated in reverse to install it back. The above is the complete usage of the dome steel structure connection structure.
