Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure technology, and in particular to steel structure node reinforcement components that are easy to install. Background Technology

[0002] The working principle of these easy-to-install steel structure joint reinforcements is to increase the connection strength and stiffness at the joints, evenly distribute and transfer external forces, reduce stress concentration, and enhance the overall stability of the steel structure by utilizing their high strength and good toughness. Applications include reinforcing beam-column joints in industrial plants to improve structural load-bearing capacity; connecting bridge piers and beams in bridge construction to ensure bridge safety; and improving the seismic performance of steel frame joints in high-rise office buildings, ensuring the building's safety under various loads.

[0003] Easily installable steel structure joint reinforcements generally include stiffeners, gusset plates, and bolted connections. Stiffeners enhance the rigidity and stability of gusset plates, preventing local buckling; gusset plates connect different steel structural members, transmitting forces and moments to achieve a more uniform force distribution; bolted connections enable rapid connection and fixation of components, facilitating installation and disassembly, ensuring a tight bond between the reinforcement and the steel structure to share the load, and improving the overall performance of the joint.

[0004] In existing technologies, some steel structure node reinforcements generally fix the steel structure nodes only by increasing the stiffness of the nodes. This results in the lack of reinforcement components on both sides of the node to stabilize the steel structure, making the node prone to large displacement and deformation under horizontal or lateral forces. The structural lateral stiffness is insufficient, and the overall stability is affected. At the same time, the lack of diagonal bracing makes the force transmission path at the node singular, causing stress concentration on some components, accelerating component fatigue damage, reducing the structural load-bearing capacity, and shortening the service life. Therefore, a steel structure node reinforcement that is easy to install is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above deficiencies, this utility model provides steel structure node reinforcement components that are easy to install, aiming to improve the problems of reduced structural stability and increased stress concentration in the prior art.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The inner wall of the wing plate is threaded with an adjusting screw, and the outer wall of the adjusting screw is threaded with a nut.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a steel structure node reinforcement component that is easy to install, including a connector 1. The connector 1 is a component used to connect steel 17, providing a basic carrier for the connection of steel 17. When it is necessary to connect steel 17, steel 17 will be placed inside the connector 1. The connector 1 is equipped with an adjustment component for adjusting when steel 17 is affected by temperature. When steel 17 expands and contracts due to temperature changes, the adjustment component can prevent excessive deformation of steel 17 through its own adjustment function, ensuring the stability of the steel structure node connection. When steel 17 expands and contracts due to temperature, the components in the adjustment component work together to buffer and offset stress.

[0033] A column 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connector 1. The column 2 supports the connector 1 and the steel 17 above it, enhancing the stability of the entire reinforcing member and transferring the weight of the connector 1 and the steel 17 to the structure below. Mounting plates 4 are fixedly connected to the outer walls on both sides of the column 2. The mounting plates 4 provide an installation position for the rotating rod 11 and provide a foundation for the installation and rotation of the diagonal brace 5. Through the connection with the rotating rod 11, the rotating rod 11 can rotate in its fixed position. The rotating rod 11 allows the diagonal brace 5 to rotate. The angle of the diagonal brace 5 can be adjusted according to actual needs to better support the steel 17. The angle of the diagonal brace 5 is changed through the rotational connection with the rotating rod 11. The outer wall of the rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the diagonal brace 5. The diagonal brace 5 supports the steel 17, enhances the structural stability of the steel 17, improves the load-bearing capacity, and optimizes the structural rigidity.

[0034] One end of the diagonal brace 5 is connected to the steel 17 via the wing plate 13, and the other end is connected to the mounting plate 4 at the column 2 via the rotating rod 11, forming a support structure. The other end of the diagonal brace 5 is detachably connected to the wing plate 13, which is used to connect the diagonal brace 5 and the steel 17, facilitating the connection and adjustment between the diagonal brace 5 and the steel 17. The connection between the diagonal brace 5 and the steel 17 is achieved through the adjusting screw hole 9 and the fixing rod 8 on the wing plate 13. The wing plate 13 has multiple adjusting screw holes 9 inside, which can adjust the support position of the diagonal brace 5 according to the area and center of gravity of the items on top of the steel 17, so as to better adapt to the support requirements of the steel 17 under different working conditions. By adjusting the screw 6 and the adjusting screw hole 9, the connection position between the diagonal brace 5 and the wing plate 13 can be changed. The bottom of the column 2 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 12, which enhances the connection stability between the entire reinforcing member and the foundation structure, so that the reinforcing member can be installed more stably on the foundation. Through the connection between the fixing plate 12 and the foundation structure, the weight borne by the reinforcing member is distributed.

[0035] The inner wall of the fixing plate 12 is threaded with multiple fixing screws 3. These screws secure the fixing plate 12 to the foundation structure, ensuring a reliable connection between the reinforcement and the foundation. Tightening the screws ensures a tight fit between the fixing plate 12 and the foundation structure. The inner wall of the wing plate 13 is threaded with an adjusting screw 6. This adjusting screw 6 adjusts the connection position between the diagonal brace 5 and the wing plate 13, allowing for flexible adjustment of the diagonal brace 5's support position. Rotating the adjusting screw 6 changes its position within the wing plate 13 and the adjusting screw hole 9. The outer wall of the adjusting screw 6 is threaded with a nut 7. This nut 7 secures the adjusting screw 6, preventing it from loosening and ensuring the stability of the diagonal brace 5's support position. Tightening the nut 7 fixes the adjusting screw 6 at the connection position between the wing plate 13 and the diagonal brace 5.

[0036] Reference Figures 2 to 4 The adjusting component includes a rubber sleeve 16. When the steel 17 expands and contracts due to temperature, the rubber sleeve 16 changes its shape to form a buffer, allowing the steel 17 to undergo a certain deformation while absorbing and buffering some of the stress, preventing the steel 17 from deforming excessively due to temperature. The rubber sleeve 16 is elastic and can deform itself to adapt to the changes in the steel 17 and absorb stress when the steel 17 expands or contracts. The outer wall of the rubber sleeve 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the docking device 1. This connection method enables the rubber sleeve 16 to stably buffer the steel 17, ensuring the buffering effect of the rubber sleeve 16 during the thermal expansion and contraction of the steel 17.

[0037] The rubber sleeve 16, fixed to the inner wall of the connector 1, can effectively contact and buffer when the steel 17 changes. The inner wall of the connector 1 is fixedly connected to a rubber pad 14, which can also absorb and buffer some of the stress, further enhancing the buffering capacity of the steel 17 for stress caused by temperature changes. Utilizing the elastic properties of the rubber pad 14, it absorbs stress when the steel 17 undergoes thermal expansion and contraction. The outer wall of the rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to a damper 15, which can absorb other stresses not offset by the rubber sleeve 16 and the rubber pad 14, comprehensively preventing the steel 17 from excessive deformation due to temperature, ensuring the stability of the steel structure node connection. The damper 15, through its own damping characteristics, converts the remaining stress into other forms of energy and dissipates it.

[0038] The other end of the damper 15 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of another rubber pad 14. This connection method allows the damper 15 to function better, ensuring that the damper 15 can effectively absorb stress during the thermal expansion and contraction of the steel 17. Through the connection of both ends with the rubber pad 14, the damper 15 plays a role in the stress transmission path of the steel 17. The inner wall of the connector 1 is detachably connected to the steel 17. This connection method facilitates the installation and replacement of the steel 17 and makes it convenient to adjust the steel 17 according to the needs in actual use. The detachable connection between the steel 17 and the connector 1 is achieved by installing screws 10 and other components. The outer wall of the rubber pad 14 is fixedly connected to one end of the steel 17, so that the rubber pad 14 can directly buffer the steel 17 and enhance the buffering of stress caused by temperature changes at one end of the steel 17.

[0039] The rubber pad 14, fixed to one end of the steel 17, absorbs stress promptly during the thermal expansion and contraction of the steel 17. Multiple mounting screws 10 are threaded onto the inner wall of the connector 1, securing the steel 17 to the inside of the connector 1, enabling a quick and reliable connection between the steel 17 and the connector 1. Tightening the mounting screws 10 ensures a tight fit between the steel 17 and the connector 1. The outer walls of the mounting screws 10 are threaded onto the inner wall of the steel 17, ensuring a firm fixation of the steel 17 and guaranteeing its stability within the connector 1. The threaded engagement between the mounting screws 10 and the inner wall of the steel 17 provides a tightening force. The outer thread of the adjusting screw 6 is threaded onto the inner wall of the diagonal brace 5, allowing the adjusting screw 6 to adjust the connection position between the diagonal brace 5 and the wing plate 13, enabling flexible adjustment of the diagonal brace 5's support position. This is achieved by rotating the adjusting screw 6.

[0040] The outer thread of the adjusting screw 6 is connected to the inner wall of the adjusting screw hole 9. The adjustment screw 6 and the adjusting screw hole 9 are used to adjust the support position of the diagonal brace 5. According to the different areas and centers of gravity of the items on top of the steel 17, the diagonal brace 5 can be better supported. The adjusting screw 6 moves in the adjusting screw hole 9 to change the connection point between the diagonal brace 5 and the wing plate 13. The top of the wing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the fixing rod 8. The fixing rod 8 serves to fix the wing plate 13 to the bottom of the steel 17, so that the wing plate 13 and the steel 17 form a stable connection structure, which facilitates the diagonal brace 5 to support the steel 17. The fixing rod 8 is connected to the wing plate 13 and the steel 17 at both ends to achieve a stable connection between the two. The top of the fixing rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the steel 17 to ensure that the fixing rod 8 can effectively connect the wing plate 13 and the steel 17, and ensure the stability of the connection between the wing plate 13 and the steel 17. Through the fixed connection, the wing plate 13 can follow the stress of the steel 17 and provide support through the diagonal brace 5.

[0041] Working principle: When steel structure node reinforcement is required, steel 17 is inserted into the two sides of the connector 1, and then the steel 17 is fixedly connected to the inside of the connector 1 by the mounting screws 10. The installation can be completed quickly by using screws. At this time, a reinforcement structure is needed to assist in supporting the steel 17 to enhance the structural stability and load-bearing capacity, so as to optimize the structural rigidity. At this time, one end of the diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the inside of the wing plate 13 through the adjustment screw hole 9 opened on the surface of the wing plate 13. The fixing rod 8 serves to fix the wing plate 13 to the bottom of the steel 17. At this time, the diagonal brace 5 can provide support for the steel 17. The multiple adjustment screw holes 9 are used to adjust the support position of the diagonal brace 5 by adjusting the screw holes 9 when the top surface area and center of gravity of the steel 17 are different, so as to better support the steel 17.

[0042] During the use of steel structure node reinforcement components, the internal steel 17 is susceptible to thermal expansion and contraction due to temperature. At this time, the rubber sleeve 16 can change its shape to form a buffer, allowing the steel 17 to undergo a certain deformation while absorbing and buffering to offset part of the stress. Similarly, the rubber pad 14 at one end of the steel 17 can also absorb and buffer to offset part of the stress. The damper 15 can absorb other unoffset stresses, thereby preventing the steel 17 from undergoing excessive deformation due to temperature during use, which would lead to unstable node connections in the steel structure.

[0043] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
