Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cable connection technology, specifically to a connection structure between an end cable and a steel beam. Background Technology

[0002] Steel cables and beams are mainly used in various building and engineering structures, playing an important role in support, load-bearing and transmission. They are widely used in various types of buildings, not only in traditional high-rise buildings and industrial plants, but also in bridges, stadiums, residential buildings, commercial buildings, public facilities and railway transportation facilities, demonstrating remarkable adaptability and versatility.

[0003] In photovoltaic power generation projects, especially in complex terrain conditions such as mountains, barren slopes, ponds, fishponds, and woodlands, traditional fixed photovoltaic supports are difficult to use. Instead, columns are used in conjunction with steel beams, and multiple steel cables are connected between these beams to support the solar panels. The connection between the steel cables and beams is typically achieved using connecting rods at the cable ends, along with nuts and washers. However, relying solely on washers to secure the nuts is unreliable. When the cables, installed at high altitudes, experience vibrations due to strong winds or other adverse weather conditions, the nuts used for securing them may still loosen and rotate. This needs improvement. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on the above description, this utility model provides an end cable and steel beam connection structure to solve the problem of poor reliability in fixing the steel cable and steel beam by using bolts and washers.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an end cable and steel beam connection structure, including a steel cable, a connector, a nut and a washer, wherein the outer side of the connector is provided with a threaded path, characterized in that a slot is opened at one end of the connector, and a plurality of slots are opened in the slot of the connector, and two metal rods are provided on the surface of the nut, and a limiting member including an insert rod, a top plate and two sleeve rods, wherein a plurality of locking teeth are provided on the outer side of the insert rod, the top plate is connected to one end of the insert rod, and the two sleeve rods are both connected to one side of the top plate.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.

[0007] Furthermore, the surface of the top plate has two through holes that communicate with the inner cavity of the sleeve rod, and a rubber ring is provided in the through holes of the top plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a magnet is provided in the slot opened in the connector.

[0009] Furthermore, both metal rods are vertically connected to one side of the nut.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is provided on one side of the top plate.

[0011] Furthermore, two through holes are formed on the surface of the gasket.

[0012] Furthermore, the ends of both metal rods furthest from the nut are designed to be semi-circular.

[0013] Furthermore, the end of the sleeve rod away from the top plate extends to a position below the insertion rod.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] By opening slots and grooves on the connector head, and setting a metal rod on the nut, along with a limiting component, the nut connected to the connector head can effectively limit and reinforce the nut by utilizing the cooperation of the limiting component inserted into the slot and the metal rod after it has restricted the connection between the steel cable and the steel beam. This enhances the reliability of the nut in restricting and fixing the connection between the steel cable and the steel beam. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To facilitate understanding of this application, a more complete description will be provided below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which illustrate embodiments of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application will be thorough and complete.

[0024] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application belongs. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application.

[0025] Example

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides an end cable and steel beam connection structure, including a steel cable 1, a connector 2, a nut 3 and a washer 4. The outer side of the connector 2 is provided with a threaded path for connecting the nut 3. One end of the connector 2 is provided with a slot 21. Multiple adjacent slots 22 are provided at equal intervals in the slot 21 of the connector 2. Two metal rods 31 are connected to the surface of the nut 3. A limiting member 5 is provided, including a plug rod 51, a top plate 52 and two sleeve rods 53. The outer side of the plug rod 51 is provided with multiple locking teeth 511 corresponding to the slots 22. The top plate 52 is connected to one end of the plug rod 51. A handle 522 is connected to one side of the top plate 52. Both sleeve rods 53 are connected to one side of the top plate 52.

[0027] In this embodiment, during the connection and fixing process between the end cable and the steel beam, the connector 2 of the end cable is first inserted into the connection node of the external steel beam. Then, the washer 4 and nut 3 are sequentially connected between the connector 2 and the connection node of the steel beam. Then, the nut 3 is tightened with a tool so that the washer 4 is in close contact with the surface of the connection node of the external steel beam under the tightening action of the nut 3. Then, the insert rod 51 is inserted into the slot 21 opened in the connector 2, so that the multiple teeth 511 on the outside of the insert rod 51 correspond to the multiple slots 22, until the sleeve rod 53 is sleeved on the outside of the metal rod 31, and one side of the top plate 52 is in contact with one end of the connector 2. Thus, the cooperation between the limiting member 5 and the metal rod 31 prevents the nut 3 from rotating and loosening after tightening, ensuring the reliability of the connection between the end cable and the steel beam.

[0028] As an optional implementation, the surface of the gasket 4 has two through holes 41, and the surface of the top plate 52 has two through holes 521 that communicate with the inner cavity of the sleeve rod 53. The through holes 521 of the top plate 52 are provided with rubber rings 6, and the diameter of the through holes 41 is matched with that of the metal rod 31.

[0029] In this embodiment, the gasket 4 is fitted between the outer sides of the two metal rods 31 through the first through hole 41. Then, the limiting member 5 is flipped over and fitted between the outer sides of the two metal rods 31 through the second through hole 521. The metal rods 31 are in close contact with the inner ring of the rubber ring 6 through the second through hole 521 until one side of the top plate 52 contacts one side of the gasket 4. The clamping effect of the gasket 4 is achieved through the cooperation with the nut 3, so that the nut 3, the gasket 4 and the limiting member 5 can be carried together.

[0030] As an optional implementation, a magnet 7 is provided in the slot 21 opened in the connector 2.

[0031] In this embodiment, the insertion rod 51 is inserted into the slot 21 opened in the connector 2, so that the end of the insertion rod 51 away from the top plate 52 is attracted to one side of the magnet block 7, thereby achieving the limiting effect between the limiting member 5 and the connector 2, ensuring the stability between the limiting member 5 and the connector 2, and preventing the limiting member 5 from slipping when the connector 2 is in an inclined state.

[0032] As an alternative implementation, both metal rods 31 are vertically connected to one side of the nut 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the nut 3 is connected to the connector 2, and the nut 3 is rotated using the metal rod 31, so that the nut 3 can be turned to the outside of the connector 2 to be close to the connection node of the steel beam during the installation process.

[0034] As an alternative implementation, the ends of both metal rods 31 furthest from the nut 3 are designed to be semi-circular.

[0035] In this embodiment, during the connection process between the sleeve 53 and the metal rod 31, it is more advantageous to sleeve the sleeve 53 onto the top of the metal rod 31, making the connection operation more convenient.

[0036] As an alternative implementation, the end of the sleeve 53 away from the top plate 52 extends to a position below the insert 51.

[0037] In this embodiment, during the connection process between the sleeve rod 53 and the metal rod 31, the bottom end of the sleeve rod 53 can first contact and align with the top end of the metal rod 31. This avoids the situation where the retaining teeth 511 on the outside of the insert rod 51 engage with the slot 22 opened in the connector 2 first when the sleeve rod 53 and the metal rod 31 are not aligned, which would cause inconvenience in adjustment and installation.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. 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.
