Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ancient building construction technology, specifically to a wooden-clad structure for constructing steel columns in ancient buildings. Background Technology
[0002] Ancient Chinese architecture primarily used beams and columns for its supporting structure, which were made from logs and formed a crucial part of the roof truss. The joints between beam and column components were joined using mortise and tenon joints, creating a supporting frame that collectively supported the building's weight. However, with the continuous development of construction technology, building performance requirements have become increasingly stringent. Wooden structures, with their low load-bearing capacity, can no longer meet the safety and durability requirements of modern buildings. To preserve the existing elements and ancient charm of classical architecture, better reflect the unique characteristics of Chinese classical culture, and comply with modern building codes, the reconstruction of ancient buildings requires a beam-column structure that can ensure the load-bearing capacity of the beams and columns while conforming to the style of ancient architecture.
[0003] For example, application number 202323162902.9, entitled "Wooden-clad Steel Structure for the Reconstruction of Ancient Buildings," uses adhesive bonding between steel plates and grooves, and adhesive bonding between the inner surface of the steel-clad wood and the sides of the square steel frame, thus forming a cylindrical outer wooden structure and an inner steel structure of beams and columns. While this method relies solely on adhesive bonding for external fixation, adhesives generally require time to achieve strong adhesion, and each fan-shaped piece of wood has considerable weight and needs to be stabilized beforehand. Therefore, the stability of the assembly and fastening process is relatively low, and problems such as detachment and deviation are prone to occur.
[0004] This case arose in order to resolve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a wooden-clad structure for steel columns used in ancient building construction, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background section.
[0007] (II) Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wooden frame structure for constructing steel columns in ancient buildings, comprising an internal square frame made of steel and multiple outer fan-shaped wooden frames enclosing a circle. The fan-shaped wooden frames include first fan-shaped wooden frames located at the top and bottom, with two first fan-shaped wooden frames arranged in a mirror image of each other. Between the two first fan-shaped wooden frames are multiple second fan-shaped wooden frames. Each layer of second fan-shaped wooden frames and first fan-shaped wooden frames encloses a circle. Adjacent first fan-shaped wooden frames are fastened together with bolts to form a limiting fastening between the upper and lower ends and the middle. Adjacent second fan-shaped wooden frames are fitted and limited by corresponding splicing blocks and limiting grooves.
[0009] Preferably, the inner side of the fan-shaped wood is fitted with the outer end face of the square frame, and the sides of two adjacent fan-shaped woods are fitted together.
[0010] Preferably, a recessed groove is formed on one side of any one of the first fan-shaped wood ends, and a locking block is formed on the other side. The locking block and the recessed groove are matched in size and both are provided with threaded grooves, so that two adjacent first fan-shaped woods are locked together by bolts.
[0011] Preferably, the square frame has arc-shaped steel columns on its four sides, and each side has a fan-shaped piece of wood. The first and second fan-shaped pieces of wood are provided with grooves that are adapted to the size of the steel columns.
[0012] Preferably, the contact surfaces of the first sector wood, the contact surfaces of the first sector wood and the second sector wood, and the contact surfaces of the first sector wood, the second sector wood and the square frame are all bonded together with adhesive.
[0013] (III) Beneficial Effects
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, this utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art:
[0015] 1. This utility model discloses a wooden cladding structure for steel cylinders used in ancient architecture. One side of any first fan-shaped wooden end is provided with a recessed groove, and the other side is provided with a locking block. The locking block and the recessed groove are sized to match and are both provided with threaded grooves. After the second fan-shaped wooden end is placed in the middle, the top and bottom first fan-shaped wooden ends are surrounded and fastened with bolts.

[0021] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0022] like Figure 1 As shown: A wooden cladding structure for steel columns in ancient architecture includes an internal square frame 1 made of steel and multiple outer fan-shaped wooden frames enclosing the circle. The four sides of the square frame 1 are respectively provided with arc-shaped steel columns 4, and each side is respectively provided with a fan-shaped wooden frame. The fan-shaped wooden frame is provided with a groove 7 that matches the size of the steel column 4, so that it can be embedded from top to bottom to achieve initial positioning.
[0023] Secondly, the inner side of the fan-shaped wood is attached to the outer end face of the square frame 1, and the sides of two adjacent fan-shaped woods are attached to each other, so that they can be bonded with adhesive after splicing and positioning.
[0024] The fan-shaped wood includes a first fan-shaped wood 2 located at the top and bottom, with the two first fan-shaped woods 2 arranged in a mirror image of each other. Between the two first fan-shaped woods 2 are multiple second fan-shaped woods 3, and each layer of second fan-shaped woods 3 and first fan-shaped woods 2 forms a circle.
[0025] As attached Figure 2 As shown, a recessed groove 6 is provided on one side of any one of the first sector wood 2 ends, and a locking block 5 is formed on the other side. The locking block 5 and the recessed groove 6 are matched in size and both are provided with threaded grooves, so that two adjacent first sector wood 2 can be locked by bolts.
[0026] As attached Figure 3 As shown, two adjacent second sector-shaped wooden pieces 3 are fitted and defined by corresponding splicing blocks 8 and limiting grooves 9. The splicing block 8 is a semi-circular protrusion, which defines the horizontal dimension of the assembled two adjacent second sector-shaped wooden pieces 3. The internal groove 7 is adapted to the steel column 4 to define the vertical dimension, forming a complete cylindrical outer circumference and defining the position.
[0027] Furthermore, the center of the steel column 4 is located within the groove 7, so that each fan-shaped piece of wood can be supported by the internal force when it is released outward.
[0028] In use, the first sector-shaped wood 2 is first embedded into the steel column 4 of the horizontally placed square frame 1 and placed at the end. After the first sector-shaped wood 2 are successively fitted together to form a circle, the locking block 5 is screwed in and tightened by bolts, so that the bottom sector-shaped wood 2 is firmly secured and prevents loosening. After the second sector-shaped wood 3 is placed in the middle, the top and bottom sector-shaped wood 2 are surrounded and tightened by bolts. Through the circumferential tightening at the top and bottom ends, the entire wood-clad structure is initially tightened to prevent loosening, ensuring the strength of the structure, and can also play a limiting and tightening role before the adhesive has a bonding effect.
[0029] All the first sector wood 2 and the second sector wood 3 can be spliced in one go and are not easy to separate. During the splicing process, adhesives need to be used simultaneously to bond the contact surfaces of the first sector wood 2, the contact surfaces of the first sector wood 2 and the second sector wood 3, and the contact surfaces of the first sector wood 2 and the second sector wood 3 with the square frame 1, so as to further increase the connection strength between the sector woods.
[0030] The above-described embodiments are provided for illustrative purposes. Based on the above description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the inventive concept. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification; its protection scope must be determined according to the claims.
