Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beam-column joints, and in particular to a highly versatile beam-column joint. Background Technology
[0002] Beam-column joints are the common parts of frame beam-column members. Failure of a joint means the simultaneous failure of the connected beams and columns, potentially leading to the collapse of the entire frame. In building structural design, beam-column joints are crucial connections between beams and columns, and their design directly impacts the stability and safety of the entire structure. Highly versatile beam-column joint designs aim to improve the adaptability and usability of the joints, enabling them to function effectively under various building types and load conditions.
[0003] In the process of realizing this application, the inventors discovered the following problems with the prior art: Traditional steel structures involve a large amount of welding work on site, which makes it time-consuming for operators to install, causes significant air pollution, and makes it difficult to guarantee the quality of joints.
[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a highly versatile beam-column joint to solve the problems mentioned in the background section. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a highly versatile beam-column joint. Through optimized design and material combination, the performance of the beam-column joint is improved, resulting in good flexibility, load-bearing capacity, and ease of construction.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A highly versatile beam-column joint includes two No. 1 I-beams and a No. 1 connecting plate. A No. 2 connecting plate is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two No. 1 I-beams. A No. 3 connecting plate is installed at the midpoint of one side of the No. 1 connecting plate by multiple bolts. A No. 4 connecting plate is fixedly installed through the midpoint between the No. 3 connecting plate and the No. 1 connecting plate. The No. 3 I-beam is connected to both ends of the No. 1 connecting plate by multiple bolts. The No. 2 I-beams are connected to both sides of the opposite side of the two No. 2 connecting plates by multiple bolts.
[0008] Furthermore, continuous ribs are fixedly installed at the four corners of the two I-beams No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 at one end. The four continuous ribs on the same I-beam form a group and multiple stirrups are installed on the outside.
[0009] Furthermore, box-shaped steel beams are installed on the outer sides of the same set of continuous ribs and stirrups.
[0010] Furthermore, in a beam-column joint composed of the No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 I-beams, the upper I-beam is connected to the lower I-beam in another beam-column joint by four continuous ribs and stirrups, and a box-shaped steel beam is installed on the outside of the four continuous ribs and stirrups.
[0011] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0012] This utility model proposes a highly versatile beam-column joint based on prefabricated structural design. The design of multiple I-beams and connecting plates can effectively improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the overall structure and reduce deformation and damage caused by uneven load. The bolt connection, continuous ribs and stirrup structure make the installation process simpler, which helps to shorten the construction cycle and reduce labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0021] Reference Figures 1-3One embodiment of this utility model provides a highly versatile beam-column joint, comprising two No. 1 I-beams 1 and a No. 1 connecting plate 3. A No. 2 connecting plate 5 is fixedly installed at one end of each of the two No. 1 I-beams 1. A No. 3 connecting plate 6 is installed at the midpoint of one side of the No. 1 connecting plate 3 by multiple bolts. A No. 4 connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed through the midpoint between the No. 3 connecting plate 6 and the No. 1 connecting plate 3. The front and rear ends of the No. 1 connecting plate 3 are connected to the No. 3 I-beam 4 by multiple bolts. The two sides of the opposite side of the two No. 2 connecting plates 5 are connected to the No. 2 I-beams 2 by multiple bolts.
[0022] Specifically, during installation and use, first place one of the No. 1 I-beams 1 with the No. 4 connecting plate 7 installed at the lower end, and then install a No. 2 I-beam 2 on one side of the No. 4 connecting plate 7 at the upper end of the No. 1 I-beam 1 using bolts. Next, attach the No. 1 connecting plate 3 and the No. 3 connecting plate 6 together, with the No. 3 connecting plate 6 located at the midpoint on one side of the No. 1 connecting plate 3. Then, pass the No. 4 connecting plate 7 through the middle position between the No. 1 connecting plate 3 and the No. 3 connecting plate 6, and install the No. 4 connecting plate 7 on one side of the fixed No. 2 I-beam 2. Then, install the No. 3 I-beam 4 between the front and rear ends of the No. 1 connecting plate 3 using bolts. At this point, the longitudinal steel beam installation is complete.
[0023] Next, another No. 2 I-beam 2 is also bolted to the other side of the upper end of the No. 4 connecting plate 7 and attached to the No. 3 connecting plate 6 to complete the installation of the horizontal steel beam. After the installation of the two No. 2 I-beams 2 is completed, the remaining No. 1 I-beam 1 is placed on the upper end of the two No. 2 I-beams 2 and vertically aligned with the lower end of the No. 1 I-beam 1. The No. 2 connecting plate 5 at the lower end of the remaining No. 1 I-beam 1 is connected to the two No. 2 I-beams 2 with bolts to complete the installation of the vertical steel beam.
[0024] Reference Figure 4 At the four corners of the two No. 1 I-beams 1, No. 2 I-beams 2 and No. 3 I-beams 4, a continuous rib 9 is fixedly installed at one end. The four continuous ribs 9 on the same I-beam form a group and multiple stirrups 10 are installed on the outside. Box-type steel beams 8 are installed on the outside of the same group of continuous ribs 9 and stirrups 10. This enables the rapid splicing and assembly of the box-type steel beams 8 with the beam-column joint for use.
[0025] Reference Figure 5 In a beam-column joint consisting of I-beam 1, I-beam 2, and I-beam 4, the upper I-beam 1 in one beam-column joint is connected to the lower I-beam 1 in another beam-column joint by four continuous ribs 9 and stirrups 10. A box-shaped steel beam 8 is installed on the outside of the four continuous ribs 9 and stirrups 10. This enables rapid assembly and installation between the two beam-column joints and enhances the structural stability and strength at the connection point.
