Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of building steel structure, specifically relating to a large-size welded hollow spherical steel node. Background Technology
[0002] In the design of steel roofs in a three-dimensional spatial grid structure system, multiple members of the chord, vertical web members, and diagonal web members tend to intersect at a single point. This is especially true at some critical supports, where as many as ten chords, vertical web members, and diagonal web members may intersect at a single point and also need to be connected to the main support. Such critical nodes with primary and secondary forces and a large number of members often require special structural measures to address.
[0003] Based on the functional and aesthetic requirements of the building, the commonly used solutions are:
[0004] ① Increase the cross-section of the main pipe to form a distinction between the main and secondary pipes, while ensuring that the secondary pipes can be welded to the main pipe in an alternating manner. However, this will result in a significant increase in the amount of steel used, causing unnecessary waste.
[0005] ② Cast steel nodes are used, and the nodes are customized in the factory and cast in one go. However, this method has a long production cycle and high cost. In addition, nodes with a large number of different features need to be made with different molds, which will further increase the processing cost. Utility Model Content

The angle between the diagonal web a4 and the vertical web 8 is 30°~60°, and the angle between the lower chord a3 and the vertical web 8 is 90°~100°.
[0042] For example, see Figure 1-3 The lower chord a3, diagonal web member a4, and vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, which can be obtained by rotating the vertical plane containing the main support member 1 and the vertical web member 8 clockwise by 40° to 50° with the horizontal plane as the reference.

[0043] The lower chord b5, the diagonal web member b6, and the vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, and the angle between this plane and the vertical plane containing the main support 1 and the vertical web member 8 is 85°~95°. The angle between the diagonal web member b6 and the vertical web member 8 is 30°~60°, and the angle between the lower chord b5 and the vertical web member 8 is 90°~100°.
[0044] For example, see Figure 1-3 The lower chord b5, diagonal web member b6, and vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, which can be obtained by rotating the vertical plane containing the main support member 1 and the vertical web member 8 clockwise by 85° to 95° with the horizontal plane as the reference.

[0045] The lower chord c7 and the vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, and the angle between this plane and the vertical plane containing the main support 1 and the vertical web member 8 is 130°~140°. The angle between the lower chord c7 and the vertical web member 8 is 80°~90°.
[0046] For example, see Figure 1-3The lower chord c7 and the vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, which can be obtained by rotating the vertical plane containing the main support 1 and the vertical web member 8 clockwise by 130°~140° with the horizontal plane as the reference.

[0048] For example, see Figure 1-3 The lower chord d9 and the vertical web member 8 are located in the same vertical plane, which can be obtained by rotating the vertical plane containing the main support 1 and the vertical web member 8 clockwise by 40°~50° with the horizontal plane as the reference.

The lower chord member f13 is located below the diagonal web member d12.
[0053] Based on the above structure, the large-size welded hollow sphere steel node provided in this embodiment includes a main support rod 1, a welded hollow sphere 2, six lower chord members, four diagonal web members, and one vertical web member 8. The welded hollow sphere 2 is located at the top of the main support rod 1. The six lower chord members, four diagonal web members, and one vertical web member 8 are connected to the welded hollow sphere 2 at specific spatial angles, forming an effective connection between the main and secondary members. The addition of the welded hollow sphere 2 at the node connection, connecting twelve members, reduces steel consumption, achieving economic efficiency while ensuring effective connection between each support member and the main rod, avoiding weld overlap between support members, and preventing stress concentration. This makes it well-suited for node connections with large and numerous main and secondary members. Furthermore, by changing the size, wall thickness, and internal structural measures of the welded hollow sphere 2, the strength at the node can be effectively guaranteed, meeting the structural requirements for strong nodes.
[0054] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the main support rod 1, lower chord a3, diagonal web rod a4, lower chord b5, diagonal web rod b6, lower chord c7, vertical web rod 8, lower chord d9, diagonal web rod c10, lower chord e11, diagonal web rod d12, and lower chord f13 can all be circular steel pipes. Furthermore, the diameters of the main support rod 1, lower chord a3, diagonal web rod a4, lower chord b5, diagonal web rod b6, lower chord c7, vertical web rod 8, lower chord d9, diagonal web rod c10, lower chord e11, diagonal web rod d12, and lower chord f13 are all smaller than the diameter of the welded hollow sphere 2.
[0055] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the welded hollow sphere 2 includes a horizontal stiffening rib 15, two vertical stiffening ribs 16, and four arc-shaped steel plates 14. The horizontal stiffening rib 15 is a circular steel plate, and vertical stiffening ribs 16 are provided on both the upper and lower sides of the horizontal stiffening rib 15. The vertical stiffening ribs 16 are semi-circular steel plates and are perpendicular to the horizontal stiffening rib 15. Four included angle areas are formed between the horizontal stiffening rib 15 and the two vertical stiffening ribs 16. The four arc-shaped steel plates 14 are respectively set in the four included angle areas, and the arc-shaped steel plates 14 are welded and fixed to the horizontal stiffening rib 15 and the vertical stiffening rib 16 in the same included angle area.
[0056] For example, see Figure 4-5 The welded hollow sphere 2 consists of horizontal stiffening ribs 15, two vertical stiffening ribs 16, and four arc-shaped steel plates 14. The horizontal stiffening ribs 15 are located on the horizontal centroidal axis of the welded hollow sphere 2, and the vertical stiffening ribs 16 are located on the vertical centroidal axis of the welded hollow sphere 2, and are welded and fixed perpendicularly to the horizontal stiffening ribs 15. Four angled areas are formed between the horizontal stiffening ribs 15 and the two vertical stiffening ribs 16, and the four arc-shaped steel plates 14 are respectively positioned within the four angled areas, so that the four arc-shaped steel plates 14 together form a spherical structure.
[0057] In this design, two adjacent arc-shaped steel plates 14 are separated by horizontal stiffeners 15 or vertical stiffeners 16. This can be understood as follows: a sphere is cut into four arc-shaped steel plates 14 through a horizontal cut (horizontal stiffener 15) and a vertical cut (composed of two vertical stiffeners 16). This makes welding and assembly more convenient and faster.
[0058] In the technical solution provided in this embodiment, the main support rod 1, welded hollow sphere 2, lower chord a3, diagonal web member a4, lower chord b5, diagonal web member b6, lower chord c7, vertical web member 8, lower chord d9, diagonal web member c10, lower chord e11, diagonal web member d12, and lower chord f13 are all made of Q235B or Q355B steel plate. Appropriate welding materials, welding methods, and welding processes can be selected based on the base material, welding position, weld type, and conforming to relevant welding standards. The steel plate thickness and weld leg size are selected according to design calculations.
