Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of space frame technology, specifically to a connection structure for steel space frame nodes. Background Technology

[0002] In space frame structures, nodes serve to connect converging members, transmit internal forces within them, and connect the space frame to roof structures, ceilings, piping, suspended cranes, and other components, thus transferring loads. Therefore, nodes are a crucial component of space frame structures. If the space frame is composed of circular tubes, drilling is required to secure the node fittings; otherwise, the node clamps are prone to misalignment. Drilling holes in the fittings, however, can affect the tube structure and reduce the overall strength of the space frame. Therefore, a method is needed that eliminates the need for drilling holes in the fittings.

[0003] Existing patents, such as the one published in CN220598762U, describe a connection device for a steel structure space frame node. This device includes a male clamp, a female clamp, and two connecting buckles. The male clamp consists of two opposing clamp components (first type), and the female clamp consists of two opposing clamp components (second type). Each clamp component (first type) has a protrusion on its side, and each clamp component (second type) has a groove that mates with the protrusion. The male and female clamps engage with each other through the protrusion and groove. One end of the connecting buckle is hinged to the male clamp, and the other end is hinged to the female clamp. The engagement of the protrusion and groove, along with the hinged connections of the connecting buckle to the male and female clamps, prevents the node device from shifting on its own.

[0004] While the aforementioned patent solves the problem of drilling holes in the round tube to avoid node misalignment and strengthens the overall strength of the space frame, the simple external connection via the hinged connection between the two ends of the connecting buckle and the male and female clamps means that when the space frame at the node is under stress, it is impossible to guarantee the stress balance of each space frame at the node, which can lead to the space frame breaking at the node in severe cases.

[0028] Combined with appendix Figs. 1-3 A connection structure for a steel structure space frame node includes a node ball 1 and four space frame supports 2 evenly connected to the outside of the node ball 1. A connecting device 3 is installed between the four space frame supports 2 and the node ball 1 in a mirror image. Specifically, a groove is opened on the surface of the node ball 1 to accommodate the insertion of the space frame supports 2. The space frame supports 2 are inserted into the groove and welded to the node ball 1. The four space frame supports 2 and the node ball 1 are connected to each other through the connecting device 3, which serves to provide support and limit the movement.

[0029] In specific implementation of this utility model, such as Fig. 2 and Fig. 3As shown. The two connecting devices 3 include multiple sets of mounting plates 301 connected to the space frame support 2. Each mounting plate 301 has a limiting device 4 connected to one side. Limiting rings 5 ​​are installed between the multiple limiting devices 4. The two mounting plates 301 on the same space frame support 2 are connected by bolt groups 302. Through holes 6 are provided on the mounting plates 301 for the installation of bolt groups 302. The two mounting plates 301 on the same space frame support 2 are fixedly connected by bolt groups 302 and through holes 6, and the limiting devices 4 achieve the limiting.

[0030] In specific implementation of this utility model, such as Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 As shown. The limiting device 4 includes a connecting block 402 that connects to the mounting plate 301. An arc-shaped block 403 that can fit the node ball 1 is mounted on the connecting block 402. A limiting plate 404 is mounted on the upper end of the arc-shaped block 403. The upper end of the limiting plate 404 is extended outward and folded downward to form an installation area 401. The limiting ring 5 is installed in the installation area 401 of multiple limiting devices 4. Before the two mounting plates 301 on the same space frame support 2 are installed, the limiting ring 5 is installed in the installation area 401. When the two mounting plates 301 on the same space frame support 2 are connected by bolt group 302, the arc block 403 will drive the limiting plate 404 away, causing multiple limiting plates 404 to move away. The limiting ring 5 provides support and limitation. At the same time, the arc block 403 fits against the node ball 1, realizing the fixation of the space frame support 2 at the node ball 1. Through the two connecting devices 3 and the limiting device 4, the force of each space frame at the node is balanced, the force of the space frame at the node is uniform, and the force can be distributed through the limiting device 4 to prevent the space frame at the node from breaking.

[0031] The arc-shaped block 403 and the mounting plate 301 are provided with a rubber layer at one end near the node ball 1 and the space frame support 2. Specifically, the rubber layer plays a role in buffering and preventing friction.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model:

[0033] First, install the limiting ring 5 in the installation area 401, and install the two connecting devices 3 on the space frame support 2 respectively. When the two mounting plates 301 on the same space frame support 2 are connected by the bolt group 302, the arc block 403 will drive the limiting plate 404 away, causing multiple limiting plates 404 to move away. The limiting ring 5 provides support and limitation, while the arc block 403 fits against the node ball 1, thus fixing the space frame support 2 at the node ball 1.
