Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel square tube technology, specifically to a steel square tube connection and positioning structure. Background Technology

[0002] Square steel tubes are hollow, square-section steel materials made from hot-rolled or cold-rolled galvanized steel sheets, stainless steel sheets, etc., through cold bending and high-frequency welding. Square steel tubes can be used as structural frames or column components, offering higher strength than traditional aluminum profiles. Furthermore, in foundation pit construction, square steel tubes serve as a support system, used for bracing, corner bracing, and ring bracing to control lateral deformation of the pit. They form a spatial frame with horizontal supports, improving overall stability. They can also be used in conjunction with sheet piles and cast-in-place piles to enhance support rigidity. When using square steel tubes, connections are necessary, considering both production efficiency and the formation of a stable internal support structure during construction. Simultaneously, minimizing the impact of internal support installation and removal on foundation pit construction, and ensuring adequate installation and fixation on-site, are crucial. Therefore, we propose a square steel tube connection and positioning structure. Utility Model Content
