Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel cable beams, and specifically to a steel cable beam connection node. Background Technology
[0002] Cable-beam connections are crucial components in steel structures, connecting cables and beams to form a unified whole, ensuring structural stability and load-bearing capacity. The primary function of these connections is fixation, ensuring a secure connection between the cables and beams and preventing loosening or detachment. They also provide traction, transferring and distributing loads under stress to maintain overall structural stability.
[0003] In the photovoltaic field, the steel cable and beam connection structure is also particularly important. When installing photovoltaic panels, the steel cable and beam connection structure can adapt to various challenging working environments such as mountains, fish ponds, and orchards, and can play a good supporting and connecting role for the photovoltaic panels.
[0004] Existing technology typically connects steel cables to steel beams using a connecting device. However, once the connection is complete, the position of the cable connection point to the steel beam becomes fixed, making subsequent adjustment and maintenance extremely difficult.
[0005] Therefore, it is very necessary to provide a steel cable and steel beam connection node to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on the above description, this utility model provides a steel cable and steel beam connection node to solve the problem that in the prior art, steel cables and steel beams are usually connected by a connection device, but after the connection is completed, the position of the connection end between the cable and the steel beam is fixed, which makes subsequent adjustment and maintenance work very difficult.
[0007] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A steel cable and steel beam connection node includes a first connector and a second connector connected to the first connector. The first connector includes a fixed frame and a traction frame slidably connected to the fixed frame in a horizontal direction. The fixed frame is used to connect to a steel beam. The second connector includes a slide frame slidably connected to the traction frame in a vertical direction and a cable connector connected to the slide frame. The cable connector is engaged with the fixed frame. The traction frame is used to pull the slide frame to move in a vertical direction. The cable connector is used to connect to a steel cable.
[0008] Furthermore, the fixing frame includes a fixed base plate and fixing rings connected to both sides of the fixed base plate. A first sliding groove is provided on the fixed base plate, and the traction frame is slidably connected to the fixed base plate through the first sliding groove.
[0009] Furthermore, the carriage includes a sliding base plate and brackets arranged in an inverted U-shape connected to the upper sides of the sliding base plate. The two brackets pass through the fixing ring and are connected to the cable connector.
[0010] Furthermore, each of the two supports is provided with a second sliding groove, and the traction frame is slidably connected to the second sliding groove.
[0011] Furthermore, both ends of the two fixing rings are connected to position adjustment components, which include an adjusting screw and an adjusting drive component that are threadedly connected to the cable body connector. The adjusting drive component can be either manual or automatic.
[0012] Furthermore, the fixing frame is provided with several snap-fit grooves, and the cable body connector includes a movable connecting block that is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw and a support ball connected to the movable connecting block. The movable connecting block is provided with several snap-fit protrusions, which are connected to the snap-fit grooves. A rotating support block is rotatably connected to the support ball, and a steel cable connecting end is connected to the rotating support block.
[0013] Furthermore, when the adjustment drive is manually adjusted, the adjustment drive includes fixed limiting blocks connected to both sides of the fixed retaining ring, the adjustment screw passes through the two fixed limiting blocks, and the adjustment screw is threadedly connected to the cable body connector, with adjustment nuts connected to both ends of the adjustment screw.
[0014] Furthermore, when the adjustment drive is automatic, the adjustment drive includes a limiting frame connected to both sides of the fixed retaining ring, one of the limiting frames being equipped with a drive motor, and the drive end of the drive motor being connected to the adjustment screw.
[0015] Furthermore, both of the limiting frames are provided with a third sliding groove, and both of the limiting frames are slidably connected to an adjusting slider through the third sliding groove. One of the adjusting sliders is connected to the drive motor, and the other adjusting slider is connected to a bearing. The adjusting screw is connected to the bearing.
[0016] Furthermore, it also includes a telescopic drive connected to the carriage, the telescopic end of which is connected to the traction frame.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0018] The fixed frame is connected to the steel beam, and the traction frame slides horizontally to the fixed frame. Simultaneously, the slide is vertically connected to the traction frame, allowing the slide to move vertically under the action of the traction frame. Since the cable connector is connected to the slide and engaged with the fixed frame, when the cable connector needs to detach from the fixed frame, the traction frame moves the slide vertically, thus detaching the cable connector. Then, the traction frame moves the slide horizontally, moving the position of the steel cable and the steel beam. However, existing technologies typically connect the steel cable and the steel beam using a connecting device, which creates unsanitary areas during later cleaning, affecting the lifespan of the connecting device. Furthermore, during maintenance, the fixed position of the connecting device necessitates disassembling and replacing it with a new one for minor adjustments. This design addresses the problem of existing technologies where the cable and steel beam are connected via a connecting device, but the position of the cable and beam connection is fixed after connection, making subsequent adjustments and maintenance extremely difficult.

[0032] 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.
[0033] 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 in the specification of this application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of this application.
[0034] It is understood that spatial relation terms such as "below," "under," "below," "below," "above," "above," etc., can be used here to describe the relationship between one element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that, in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relation terms also include different orientations of the device in use and operation. For example, if the device in the figure is flipped, the element or feature described as "below" or "below" of the other element or feature will be oriented "above" the other element or feature. Therefore, the exemplary terms "below" and "below" can include both upper and lower orientations. Furthermore, the device may also include other orientations (e.g., rotated 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial descriptive terms used herein will be interpreted accordingly.
[0035] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or connected to the other element through an intermediary element. In the following embodiments, "connection" should be understood as "electrical connection," "communication connection," etc., if the connected circuits, modules, units, etc., have the transmission of electrical signals or data between them.
[0036] When used herein, the singular forms of “a,” “an,” and “the” may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or “having,” etc., specify the presence of the stated feature, whole, step, operation, component, part, or combination thereof, but do not preclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a steel cable-beam connection node includes a first connector 1 and a second connector 2 connected to the first connector 1. The first connector 1 includes a fixing frame 11 and a traction frame 3 slidably connected to the fixing frame 11 in a horizontal direction. The fixing frame 11 is used to connect to a steel beam. The second connector 2 includes a slide 4 slidably connected to the traction frame 3 in a vertical direction and a cable connector 5 connected to the slide 4. The cable connector 5 is engaged with the fixing frame 11. The traction frame 3 is used to pull the slide 4 to move in a vertical direction. The cable connector 5 is used to connect to a steel cable.
[0038] In this embodiment, the fixed frame 11 is connected to the steel beam, and the traction frame 3 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 11 in the horizontal direction. Simultaneously, the slide 4 is slidably connected to the traction frame 3 in the vertical direction. This design allows the slide 4 to move vertically under the action of the traction frame 3. Furthermore, since the cable connector 5 is connected to the slide 4 and engaged with the fixed frame 11, when the cable connector 5 needs to detach from the fixed frame 11, the traction frame 3 drives the slide 4 to move vertically, thus achieving the detachment of the cable connector 5 from the fixed frame 11. At this time, the traction frame 3 drives the slide 4 to move horizontally, thus achieving the movement of the steel cable and the steel beam. In contrast, existing technologies typically connect the steel cable and the steel beam using a connecting device. This creates unsanitary corners during later cleaning, affecting the lifespan of the connecting device. Moreover, during later maintenance, because the connecting device is fixed in position, fine-tuning requires disassembling the original connecting device and replacing it with a new one. This addresses the problem that existing technologies typically connect steel cables and steel beams using a connecting device, but once the connection is complete, the position of the cable-to-beam connection is fixed, making subsequent adjustment and maintenance extremely difficult.
[0039] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 11 includes a fixing base plate 111 and fixing rings 112 connected to both sides of the fixing base plate 111. A first sliding groove 1111 is provided on the fixing base plate 111, and the traction frame 3 is slidably connected to the fixing base plate 111 through the first sliding groove 1111.
[0040] In this embodiment, the fixed base plate 111 is the foundation of the fixed frame 11. It is typically designed with sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure a stable connection with the steel beam. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the fixed frame 11 and the steel beam are connected by welding. Alternatively, the fixed base plate 111 can also be bolted. Providing threaded holes on the fixed base plate 111 is a conventional technique in this field and will not be elaborated upon here. A first sliding groove 1111 is formed on the fixed base plate 111, allowing the traction frame 3 to slide horizontally within a certain range. This sliding connection design provides greater flexibility and adaptability, enabling the traction frame 3 to adjust its position according to actual needs. Simultaneously, the design of the first sliding groove 1111 should ensure the smoothness and accuracy of the traction frame 3 during sliding, avoiding excessive friction or jamming.
[0041] In some embodiments, the carriage 4 includes a sliding base plate 41 and brackets 42 arranged in an inverted U-shape connected to both sides of the upper end of the sliding base plate 41. The two brackets 42 are inserted through the fixing ring 112 and connected to the cable body connector 5.
[0042] In this embodiment, the bracket 42 is connected to both sides of the upper end of the sliding base plate 41 and is arranged in an inverted U-shape. It is arranged in an inverted U-shape and passes between two fixing rings 112. At the same time, the fixing rings 112 are connected to the cable connector 5.
[0043] In some embodiments, each of the two supports 42 is provided with a second sliding groove 421, and the traction frame 3 is slidably connected to the second sliding groove 421.
[0044] In this embodiment, a second sliding groove 421 is provided on the bracket 42 to achieve a sliding connection with the traction frame 3. This allows the traction frame 3 to drive the cable connector 5 to move vertically.
[0045] In some embodiments, the two fixed retaining rings 112 are connected to position adjustment members 6 at both ends. The position adjustment member 6 includes an adjustment screw 61 and an adjustment drive member 62 that are threadedly connected to the cable body connector 5. The adjustment drive member 62 can be manual or automatic.
[0046] In this embodiment, the adjusting screw 61 is threadedly connected to the cable body connector 5, thereby the rotation of the adjusting screw 61 drives the movement of the cable body connector 5.
[0047] In some embodiments, the fixing frame 11 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit grooves 113, and the cable body connector 5 includes a movable connecting block 51 threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 61 and a support ball 52 connected to the movable connecting block 51. The movable connecting block 51 is provided with a plurality of snap-fit protrusions 511, and the snap-fit protrusions 511 are connected to the snap-fit grooves 113. A rotating support block 53 is rotatably connected to the support ball 52, and a steel cable connecting end 54 is connected to the rotating support block 53.
[0048] In this embodiment, the movable connecting block 51 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 61. Therefore, when the adjusting screw 61 rotates, the movable connecting block 51 moves along the axial direction of the screw. Simultaneously, the movable connecting block 51 is provided with a locking protrusion 511 for engaging with the locking groove 113. When it is necessary to keep the positions of the steel cable and steel beam unchanged, the locking protrusion 511 engages with the locking groove 113. When it is necessary for the steel cable and steel beam to move relative to each other, the locking protrusion 511 disengages from the locking groove 113. This ensures the stability of the connection.
[0049] See Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the adjustment drive 62 is manually adjusted, the adjustment drive 62 includes fixed limiting blocks 621 connected to both sides of the fixed retaining ring 112, the adjustment screw 61 passes through the two fixed limiting blocks 621, and the adjustment screw 61 is threadedly connected to the cable body connector 5, and both ends of the adjustment screw 61 are connected to adjustment nuts 622.
[0050] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the steel cable and the steel beam, the operator loosens the adjusting nuts 622 at both ends, and the locking protrusion 511 disengages from the locking groove 113. Adjusting the adjusting nuts 622 then achieves the adjustment of the relative position of the steel cable and the steel beam. Additionally, a straight through hole is provided on the fixed limiting block 621, through which the adjusting screw 61 passes. This ensures that the adjusting screw 61 will not be interfered with by the fixed limiting block 621 when moving vertically.
[0051] See Figures 4 to 5 As shown, in some embodiments, when the adjustment drive 62 is in automatic adjustment mode, the adjustment drive 62 includes a limiting frame 623 connected to both sides of the fixed retaining ring 112, one of the limiting frames 623 is provided with a drive motor 624, and the drive end of the drive motor 624 is connected to the adjustment screw 61.
[0052] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the relative position of the steel cable and the steel beam, the drive motor 624 is controlled to rotate, thereby realizing the movement of the position of the steel cable and the steel beam.
[0053] In some embodiments, each of the two limiting frames 623 is provided with a third slide groove 6231, and each of the two limiting frames 623 is slidably connected to an adjusting slider 625 through the third slide groove 6231. One of the adjusting sliders 625 is connected to the drive motor 624, and the other adjusting slider 625 is connected to a bearing 626. The adjusting screw 61 is connected to the bearing 626.
[0054] In this embodiment, each of the two limiting frames 623 is provided with a third sliding groove 6231, and each of the two limiting frames 623 is slidably connected to an adjusting slider 625 through the third sliding groove 6231. Therefore, when the traction frame 3 moves up and down, the adjusting slider 625 can move relative to the limiting frame 623. Furthermore, the adjusting screw 61 is connected to the bearing 626, the outer ring of the bearing 626 is connected to the adjusting slider 625, and the inner ring of the bearing 626 is connected to the adjusting screw 61, to ensure the rotation of the adjusting screw 61.
[0055] In some embodiments, the system further includes a telescopic drive 7 connected to the carriage 4, the telescopic end of which is connected to the traction frame 3.
[0056] In this embodiment, the telescopic drive 7 is designed to be connected to the carriage 4, and its telescopic end is connected to the traction frame 3. The telescopic drive 7 actively controls the position of the traction frame 3 relative to the carriage 4 through its telescopic movement, thereby realizing the connection between the cable connector 5 and the fixed frame 11.
[0057] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0058] The fixed frame is connected to the steel beam, and the traction frame slides horizontally to the fixed frame. Simultaneously, the slide is vertically connected to the traction frame, allowing the slide to move vertically under the action of the traction frame. Since the cable connector is connected to the slide and engaged with the fixed frame, when the cable connector needs to detach from the fixed frame, the traction frame moves the slide vertically, thus detaching the cable connector. Then, the traction frame moves the slide horizontally, moving the position of the steel cable and the steel beam. However, existing technologies typically connect the steel cable and the steel beam using a connecting device, which creates unsanitary areas during later cleaning, affecting the lifespan of the connecting device. Furthermore, during maintenance, the fixed position of the connecting device necessitates disassembling and replacing it with a new one for minor adjustments. This design addresses the problem of existing technologies where the cable and steel beam are connected via a connecting device, but the position of the cable and beam connection is fixed after connection, making subsequent adjustments and maintenance extremely difficult.
