Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure platform technology, specifically a tie rod connection structure and a steel structure platform. Background Technology
[0002] Steel structure platforms typically consist of a deck and multiple columns supporting the deck. Due to their simple structure, diverse forms, and comprehensive functions, they are widely used in various industries. When the columns of a steel structure platform are relatively tall, tie rods are generally used to connect adjacent columns to prevent swaying, thereby improving the overall strength, stability, and safety of the platform. For example, Chinese Patent No. CN207176913U discloses a steel structure platform in which adjacent column legs are connected by tie rods.
[0003] The existing methods for connecting tie rods to columns mostly involve welding a connector with a first through hole to the column, and setting a corresponding second through hole on the tie rod. Bolts are then passed through both holes and tightened with nuts. While this method is simple, it has the following problems: 1. The column is large and heavy, making it difficult to move. Welding the connector to it is also more difficult, less efficient, and less precise. 2. Once the connector is welded to the column, its position cannot be adjusted. If the welding precision is low, misalignment between the first through hole of the connector and the second through hole of the tie rod can easily occur, making the tie rod difficult to install. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, this utility model provides a tie rod connection structure and a steel structure platform to solve the above-mentioned problems.
[0005] This application discloses a tie rod connection structure, including:
[0006] The mounting plate is provided with at least one first through hole group, the first through hole group including two first through holes, and the mounting plate abuts against the column;
[0007] A connector is provided with a second through hole, and the connector is connected to the mounting plate;
[0008] A snap-fit component abuts against the column, with both ends of the snap-fit component passing through the two first through holes of a first through hole group on the mounting plate;
[0009] Fasteners are connected to both ends of the snap-fit member to secure the snap-fit member and the mounting plate to the column.
[0010] Specifically, the mounting plate is a square plate, and the mounting plate is provided with two sets of first through holes spaced vertically apart.
[0011] Specifically, the snap-fit component is made of bent steel bars and includes a snap-fit part that abuts against the column and locking parts at both ends of the snap-fit part, wherein the locking parts are connected to the fastener.
[0012] Specifically, the locking part is provided with external threads, and the fastener is a nut.
[0013] Specifically, there are two snap-fit components, and each snap-fit component is connected to the mounting plate through a first through-hole group.
[0014] Specifically, the inner contour of the snap-fit portion conforms to the outer contour of the column.
[0015] This application also discloses a steel structure platform, which includes the tie rod connection structure as described in this embodiment.
[0016] This utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: The tie rod connection structure of this embodiment is detachably connected to the column, and its position on the column can be adjusted as needed. Therefore, when it is necessary to connect the tie rod to the column, the position of the second through hole on the connector can be adapted to the position of the through hole on the tie rod by adjusting the position of the mounting plate of this structure, reducing installation difficulty and improving installation accuracy. Furthermore, since the connector is welded to the mounting plate rather than the column, welding difficulty is significantly reduced, welding efficiency is improved, and the precision of the connection structure is enhanced.
[0017] To make the above and other objects, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, preferred embodiments are described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0023] 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.
[0024] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "fixing," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.
[0025] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "below," and "over" the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.
[0026] In the description of this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this application.
[0027] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish between different terms in description and do not have any special meaning.
[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the tie rod connection structure of this embodiment is detachably installed on the column 10, and includes a mounting plate 1, a connector 2, a snap-fit 3, and a fastener 4. The mounting plate 1 has at least one first through-hole group, each first through-hole group including two first through-holes 11 generally at the same horizontal position, and the mounting plate 1 is used to abut against the column 10. The connector 2 is installed on the mounting plate 1 and has a second through-hole 21, which connects to the hole on the tie rod. The snap-fit 3 and the fastener 4 are used to snap the mounting plate 1 onto the column 10. Specifically, the snap-fit 3 abuts against the column 10 from the side of the column 10 away from the mounting plate 1, the snap-fit 3 surrounds the column 10, and both ends of the snap-fit 3 pass through the first through-holes 11 of the mounting plate 1, and are then connected to the two ends of the snap-fit 3 by the fastener 4 to fix the snap-fit 3 and the mounting plate 1 onto the column 10.
[0029] Using the above solution, the tie rod connection structure of this embodiment is detachably connected to the column 10, and its position on the column 10 can be adjusted as needed. Therefore, when it is necessary to connect the tie rod to the column 10, the position of the second through hole 21 on the connector 2 can be adjusted to match the position of the through hole on the tie rod by adjusting the position of the mounting plate 1 of this structure, thereby reducing the installation difficulty and improving the installation accuracy. In addition, since the connector 2 is welded to the mounting plate 1 rather than the column 10, the welding difficulty can be greatly reduced and the welding efficiency can be improved.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the mounting plate 1 in this embodiment is a rectangular or square steel plate with two first through-hole groups arranged vertically at intervals. The two first through-holes 11 within each through-hole group are generally at the same horizontal level. The connecting plate is also a rectangular or square steel plate, but its area is preferably smaller than that of the mounting plate 1.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the snap-fit component 3 in this embodiment is made of bent steel bars. The snap-fit component 3 includes a snap-fit portion 31 and locking portions 32 at both ends of the snap-fit portion 31. The snap-fit portion 31 is used to abut against the column 10, and the locking portions 32 are used to connect with the fastener 4. More specifically, the locking portion 32 is provided with an external thread structure 321, and the fastener 4 is a nut, more preferably, the fastener 4 is a hexagonal flange nut.
[0032] Furthermore, there are two snap-fit pieces 3, spaced vertically apart, each snap-fit piece 3 connected to the mounting plate 1 through a first through-hole group. This improves the snap-fit stability between the mounting plate 1 and the column 10. The inner contour of the snap-fit portion 31 conforms to the outer contour of the column 10. Specifically, if the cross-section of the column 10 in this embodiment is square, then the inner contour of the snap-fit portion 31 is also square, which helps to increase the contact area between the snap-fit portion 31 and the column 10, further improving the snap-fit stability. In another embodiment, if the cross-section of the column 10 is circular, then the inner contour of the snap-fit portion 31 is preferably arc-shaped.
[0033] In summary, the method of using the tie rod connection structure in this embodiment is as follows: Install the mounting plate 1 on the side of the column 10 where the tie rod needs to be connected, adjust the mounting plate 1 according to the position of the tie rod so that the second through hole 21 on the connector 2 is aligned with the hole on the tie rod, insert the two snap fasteners 3 into the first through hole 11 of the mounting plate 1 respectively, and fix the entire tie rod connection structure on the column 10 by screwing nuts into the external threads 321 of the snap fasteners 3.
[0034] This utility model uses specific embodiments to illustrate the principle and implementation of the utility model. The above description of the embodiments is only for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core idea of the utility model. At the same time, for those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the idea of the utility model. Therefore, the content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the utility model.
