[0002] Bolted ball joint space frames, as a common spatial structure, are widely used in numerous large-scale buildings, industrial plants, and sports stadiums. With their advantages of lightweight structure, good spatial load-bearing capacity, and aesthetically pleasing design, they can effectively cover large-span spaces and meet the functional requirements of different buildings. During the construction of bolted ball joint space frames, the construction support structure plays a crucial role. Its main function is to provide reliable temporary support for the bolted ball joints during the space frame erection phase, ensuring the accurate installation of each member and maintaining the stability of the space frame structure before it is fully formed. This, in turn, guarantees the smooth progress of the entire space frame construction and the final quality and safety of the structure.

[0019] The embodiments of this application are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application.

[0020] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, are used 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application. Furthermore, features defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0021] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," 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 between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this application provides a bolt ball support device, including a base plate 100 and a bolt ball support mechanism 200. The bolt ball support mechanism 200 is disposed on the base plate 100 and is used to support the bolt ball.

[0023] The bolt ball support mechanism 200 includes a plurality of support components 210 disposed on a base plate 100, and an adjustment component 220 drivenly connected to the plurality of support components 210. The plurality of support components 210 are spaced apart along a circumferential direction centered on an axis a. Specifically, the plurality of support components 210 are arranged around axis a, and the arrangement direction of the plurality of support components 210 is a circumferential direction centered on axis a. The adjustment component 220 can be operably driven to move each support component 210 toward axis a to move closer together or away from axis a to move apart. Specifically, by operating the adjustment component 220, the plurality of support components 210 can be moved synchronously toward axis a to move closer together, and by operating the adjustment component 220, the plurality of support components 210 can be moved synchronously away from axis a to move apart. It is understood that when the plurality of support components 210 are close together, they can support bolt balls with a smaller diameter; when the plurality of support components 210 are spread out, they can support bolt balls with a larger diameter.

[0024] Furthermore, the support assembly 210 includes a first support member 211 and a second support member 212, which is height-adjustably disposed on the first support member 211, and the second support member 212 is used to support the bolt ball. Thus, by adjusting the height of the second support member 212 of all support assemblies 210, the height of the bolt ball can be adjusted.

[0025] It is understood that when the bolt ball support device of this application is used, the position of each support component 210 can be adjusted by adjusting component 220 according to the size of the bolt ball, so that each support component 210 can jointly support the bolt ball. At the same time, the height of the second support member 212 of all support components 210 can be adjusted according to the required height of the bolt ball.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the adjustment assembly 220 includes a turntable 221 and a plurality of hinge rods 222. The rotation axis of the turntable 221 is coaxial with axis a. One end of each of the plurality of hinge rods 222 is hinged to the turntable 221 and spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The other end of each of the plurality of hinge rods 222 is hinged to a plurality of support assemblies 210. The support assemblies 210 are configured to be driven to move toward axis a when the turntable 221 rotates in a first direction, and to be driven to move away from axis a when the turntable 221 rotates in a second direction.

[0027] Understandably, by rotating the turntable 221 in different directions, multiple support components 210 can be brought closer together or dispersed, making the operation simple.

[0028] Combination Figure 4 and Figure 5Furthermore, the base plate 100 is provided with a plurality of limiting holes 103, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction. The turntable 221 is provided with a limiting member 224, which can rotate with the turntable 221 and can be selectively inserted into any limiting hole 103.

[0029] Understandably, before the limiting member 224 is inserted into the limiting hole 103, the turntable 221 can rotate relative to the base plate 100. After the positions of each support component 210 are adjusted to the appropriate position, the limiting member 224 can be inserted into the limiting hole 103 to restrict the turntable 221 from rotating relative to the base plate 100. In this way, the position of the support component 210 can be prevented from changing arbitrarily.

[0030] Furthermore, the turntable 221 is provided with a threaded hole, and the limiting member 224 is provided with a threaded section passing through the threaded hole. When the turntable 221 rotates, the threaded hole can be aligned with multiple limiting holes 103 in turn.

[0031] Understandably, as the turntable 221 rotates, the threaded hole can align with different limiting holes 103 as the rotation angle of the turntable 221 changes. When the threaded hole aligns with the limiting hole 103, the limiting member 224 can be rotated to insert into the limiting hole 103 to restrict the rotation of the turntable 221. When it is necessary to rotate the turntable 221, the limiting member 224 can be rotated to pull it out of the limiting hole 103.

[0032] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the base plate 100 has a hollow structure, the turntable 221 includes a turntable body 2211 disposed in the base plate 100, and an operating part 2212 connected to the turntable body 2211 and at least partially exposed outside the base plate 100, and the hinge rod 222 is located inside the base plate 100.

[0033] It is understandable that the hinge rod 222 is located inside the base plate 100, and the turntable body 2211 is located inside the mast base plate 100. The base plate 100 can protect the turntable body 2211 and the hinge rod 222.

[0034] Furthermore, the top of the base plate 100 is provided with a clearance hole 101, and the operating part 2212 is connected to the top of the turntable body 2211 and extends through the clearance hole 101. The operator can rotate the operating part 2212 to drive the turntable 221 to rotate as a whole.

[0035] Furthermore, each support component 210 is connected to a connecting block 223, the base plate 100 is provided with multiple guide grooves 102, the multiple guide grooves 102 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction, the multiple connecting blocks 223 are correspondingly arranged in the multiple guide grooves 102, and the other end of the multiple hinge rods 222 is respectively hinged to the multiple connecting blocks 223.

[0036] Understandably, the guide groove 102 serves two purposes: firstly, to connect the interior of the base plate 100 with the outside world, and secondly, to guide the connecting block 223, causing it to move in a direction perpendicular to axis a. This ensures that when the turntable 221 rotates in the first direction, the support assembly 210 is driven to move towards axis a, and when the turntable 221 rotates in the second direction, the support assembly 210 is driven to move away from axis a.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the top of the first support member 211 is provided with an adjustment groove 2111, and the bottom of the second support member 212 is provided with an adjustment part 2121 that can be raised and lowered and passes through the adjustment groove 2111.

[0038] Furthermore, the adjustment part 2121 is provided with a plurality of first adjustment holes 2122 spaced apart along the height direction, and the first support member 211 is provided with a second adjustment hole communicating with the adjustment groove 2111. The second adjustment hole can be aligned with any of the first adjustment holes 2122 when the second support member 212 is raised or lowered. The support assembly 210 also includes a positioning member 214 that passes through the second adjustment hole and optionally passes through any of the first adjustment holes 2122.

[0039] It is understandable that before the positioning member 214 is inserted into the first adjustment hole 2122, the second support member 212 can move up and down relative to the first support member 211. After the height of the second support member 212 is adjusted, the positioning member 214 can be inserted into the first adjustment hole 2122 and the second adjustment hole that are aligned with each other, so as to fix the height position of the second support member 212.

[0040] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the inner side of the second support member 212 is provided with an arc-shaped support portion 213. Specifically, the second support member 212 is provided with an arc-shaped support portion 213 on the side near the axis a. This arc-shaped support portion 213 corresponds to the arc surface of the bolt ball, which helps to improve the stability of the bolt ball being supported.

[0041] like Figure 1As shown, in some embodiments, the base plate 100 is provided with mounting holes 111 for bolts 120 to pass through. In this way, the bolt 120 support device can be fixed by means of bolts 120. The base plate 100 has an extension block 110 on its side, and the mounting hole 111 is a through hole, which is opened in the extension block 110 and passes through the upper and lower sides of the extension block 110.

[0042] Specifically, the bolt ball support device can be fixed on a support beam with screw holes. The bolt 120 can be fixed by sequentially inserting the bolt 120 into the assembly hole 111 and the screw holes.

[0044] Although embodiments of this application have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this application, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
