Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure connection technology, and in particular to steel structure connectors. Background Technology

[0002] In steel structure systems, hollow tubes, as hollow steel components, have excellent load-bearing capacity and often serve as compression, tension, or support components; beams are horizontal load-bearing components responsible for transferring floor and roof loads, and the two are connected to form a stable structural system.

[0003] In traditional steel structure connection technology, hollow tubes and beams are usually connected by bolts for easy assembly and disassembly. This requires drilling holes at corresponding positions, inserting bolts, and tightening them. However, since each bolt needs to be tightened individually during assembly and disassembly, the operation is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and the bolts are prone to loosening over time, which affects the stability of the steel structure connection and poses a safety hazard. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to solve the problem that in the existing technology, bolts need to be tightened one by one during disassembly and assembly, which is time-consuming and laborious, and the bolts are prone to loosening after long-term use, thus affecting the stability of the steel structure connection and posing a safety hazard. The proposed steel structure connector is a solution to this problem.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A steel structure connector includes a hollow tube and a crossbeam that is matched with the hollow tube. An upper socket and a lower socket are fixedly installed on the vertical sidewall of the hollow tube, and the crossbeam is horizontally slidably inserted into both the upper socket and the lower socket. Mounting plates are fixedly connected to both vertical sidewalls of the crossbeam. The connector also includes:

[0007] A limiting component that simultaneously limits and fixes the two mounting plates in the horizontal direction.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting component includes a pair of rectangular rods that are vertically slidably connected to the upper socket, and a concave limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rectangular rods, and the concave limiting plate and the mounting plate are vertically slidably inserted into each other.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting assembly further includes a threaded rod rotatably connected to the top surface of the upper socket, the top ends of the two rectangular rods are fixedly connected to the same connecting plate, and the threaded rod and the connecting plate are threadedly connected.

[0010] Preferably, a screw block is fixedly connected to the top of the threaded rod to facilitate the operator to turn the threaded rod.

[0011] Preferably, the upper socket has a rectangular sliding opening to facilitate vertical sliding connection of the rectangular rod, and the connecting plate has a threaded opening to facilitate threaded connection with the threaded rod.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the opposite sidewalls of the upper socket and the lower socket, and a pair of disassembly and assembly bolts are threadedly connected to the fixing plate and the hollow tube.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This utility model, through the setting of the limiting component, connects the fixing plate to the hollow tube, and the upper and lower sockets are fixedly installed. The horizontal beam is inserted horizontally to abut against the outer wall of the hollow tube. The rotating screw block drives the threaded rod to move the connecting plate and the limiting plate down, and they are inserted and locked with the mounting plate, thereby realizing a stable connection between the beam and the hollow tube. The structure is firmly connected, and the installation of a single beam can be completed in one operation. The operation is simple, time-saving and labor-saving. 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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0021] Reference Figures 1-3 The steel structure connector includes a hollow tube 1 and a crossbeam 2 that is matched with the hollow tube 1. An upper socket 3 and a lower socket 4 are fixedly installed on the vertical side wall of the hollow tube 1 respectively. The crossbeam 2 is horizontally slidably inserted into the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4. Mounting plates 11 are fixedly connected to the two vertical side walls of the crossbeam 2. The connector also includes:

[0022] The limiting component simultaneously limits and fixes the two mounting plates 11 in the horizontal direction.

[0023] It should be noted that after the horizontal beam 2 is horizontally slidably inserted between the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4, the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4 achieve the effect of fixing the upper limit of the horizontal beam 2 in the vertical direction. The lower socket 4 plays the main supporting role of the horizontal beam 2. Subsequently, under the synergistic effect of the limiting components, the horizontal beam 2 is fixedly installed between the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4.

[0024] Reference Figures 2-3 The limiting component includes a pair of rectangular rods 7 vertically slidably connected to the upper socket 3. The shape of the rectangular rods 7 is designed to further ensure their stable vertical sliding. A concave limiting plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rectangular rods 7, and the concave limiting plate 8 and the mounting plate 11 are vertically slidably inserted into each other. The mounting plate 11 is inserted into the concave side of the concave limiting plate 8, thereby achieving its limiting effect in the horizontal direction.

[0025] The limiting assembly also includes a threaded rod 10 rotatably connected to the top surface of the upper socket 3, and the top ends of the two rectangular rods 7 are fixedly connected to the same connecting plate 9, and the threaded rod 10 and the connecting plate 9 are threadedly connected.

[0026] The top of the threaded rod 10 is fixedly connected to a screw block 14, which facilitates the operator to turn the threaded rod 10.

[0027] It should be noted that after the operator screws the screw block 14, the threaded rod 10 rotates, and the threaded rod 10 drives the connecting plate 9 connected to it to move vertically. Under the synchronous transmission action of the connecting plate 9, the two rectangular rods 7 move up or down synchronously, thereby enabling the two concave limiting plates 8 to lock or unlock the mounting plate 11 at the same time.

[0028] The upper socket 3 has a rectangular sliding opening 12 for vertical sliding connection of the rectangular rod 7, and the connecting plate 9 has a threaded opening 13 for threaded connection with the threaded rod 10.

[0029] Both the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4 are fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the fixing plate 5 and the hollow tube 1 are connected by a pair of disassembly bolts 6.

[0030] It should be noted that after the staff removes the fixing plate 5 by unscrewing the disassembly bolt 6, the fixing plate 5 will cause the upper socket 3 or the lower socket 4 to be removed, which facilitates the transportation and storage of the hollow tube 1 and achieves the requirement of improving the portability of the device.

[0031] The functional principle of this utility model can be explained through the following operation methods:

[0032] In use, first fix the fixing plate 5 to the hollow tube 1 by using the disassembly and assembly bolts 6, and then install the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4 on the vertical side wall of the hollow tube 1.

[0033] Next, the crossbeam 2 is horizontally inserted into the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4. When the end of the crossbeam 2 abuts against the hollow tube 1i, the mounting plates 11 on both sides of the crossbeam 2 are displaced to the opposite sides of the upper socket 3 and the lower socket 4. Then, the screw block 14 is rotated, which drives the threaded rod 10 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 10 is threadedly connected to the connecting plate 9, the connecting plate 9 drives the rectangular rod 7 to slide vertically along the rectangular sliding opening 12 of the upper socket 3. The concave limiting plate 8 at the bottom of the rectangular rod 7 then descends until the concave limiting plate 8 slides vertically into the mounting plate 11, thereby limiting and fixing the mounting plate 11 in the horizontal direction. This achieves a stable connection between the crossbeam 2 and the hollow tube 1, ensuring that the steel structure connector is installed and the structure is stable.

[0034] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
