Abstract
A web member for a truss with high sectional strength and an assembled truss is formed by transforming ends of an M-shaped web member into two double-layer connecting plates for connection through end transformation, grooving and drilling while steel consumption is not increased; and connection joints of a conventional truss are usually controlled by bearing capacities of bolts of which the sectional strength is insufficient, the thickness of bolt connections on ends of the web member is increased by flattening, and thus, pressure bearing capacities of the bolts will be greatly improved. The truss provided by the present utility model is a fully-bolted truss, connections of two adjacent web members and chord members are connected to intersection points of center-of-gravity lines of the web members and the chord members.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to the technical field of steel structural buildings, in particular to an assembled truss.


BACKGROUND

Most of members in a truss bear axial tensions or pressures, so that the strength of a material can be sufficiently utilized. When there is a greater span, the members save more materials than a solid web girder, and are reduced in self-weight and increased in rigidity. Especially, the members are widely applied and popularized in projects with greater spans or heavier loads and strict deformation requirements. A traditional truss is assembled by adopting a certain welding process according to different weld joint forms after assembly and is made of a common steel plate for a building: due to anticorrosion, after being assembled, the truss is processed by adopting derusting and coating processes and is then delivered; and by welding and coating, a lot of harmful gases will be generated, it is not easy to guarantee the quality, the anticorrosion time is also limited to a certain extent after coating, and the truss is required to be periodically maintained. There is also another form of the truss, it is also connected by using bolts, chord members are mounted in two pieces, and the members are scattered, which easily causes sidewise bending of the truss: web members and the chord members are connected at independent connection joints where secondary bending moments are easily generated, which causes the increase of the structural stress, so that the bearing capacity of the truss is lowered, and the structural safety of the overall building is lowered; and more bolts are needed, so that the economic efficiency is reduced.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

In order to make objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the present invention will be further described below.


As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention provides an assembled truss, including an upper chord member 1, a lower chord member 2 and a plurality of web members 3:

    • the upper chord member 1 is parallel to the lower chord member 2, sections of the upper chord member 1 and the lower chord member 2 are 2-shaped sections as shown in FIG. 4, and flanges on two ends of the upper chord member 1 and the lower chord member 2 deflect for a certain angle in a vertical direction: middles of the upper chord member 1 and the lower chord member 2 are bulges 4 for connecting the web members 3: bolt holes for connection are equidistantly formed in sides of the bulges 4 and are used to be connected to the web members 3, and bolt holes in ends are shown in FIG. 5 and are used to be connected to support connecting pieces.


In the present invention, the structure of a web plate is adopted for realizing the characteristic of high sectional strength. As shown in FIG. 2, in the present embodiment, each web member 3 is an M-shaped web member 3, ends of the web member 3 are flattened to end plates on two sides after the web plate is grooved, so that the end plates on two sides form double-layer connecting plates 31, and bolt holes for connection are formed in surfaces of the double-layer connecting plates 31. Due to the above-mentioned structural design, the thickness of bolt connections on ends of the web member 3 is increased, and thus, pressure bearing capacities of the bolts will be greatly improved: for example, for an M10 common bolt with a grade of 8.8S, when a connecting material is Q355, the bearing capacity of the bolt for a 2 mm plate is 10.20 kN, and when the thickness of the plate is 4 mm, the bearing capacity of the bolt will reach 20.40 kN, that is, the bearing capacity of the bolt is multiplied by adopting a flattening process, and a thinner plate can be adopted to achieve a higher bearing capacity. It is worth mentioning that a web plate which is of an arc-shaped structure can also be adopted in the middle of the M-shaped web member 3.


Specifically, a way that the web members 3 are connected to the chord members are shown in FIG. 1, the plurality of web members 3 are connected end to end and are arranged between the upper chord member 1 and the lower chord member 2 in order, as shown in FIG. 3, the bulges 4 are clamped between the double-layer connecting plates 31 on two sides of the web plate and are spliced, by using bolts, in through holes preformed in the web members 3 and the chord members to realize connection and fixation, and ends of two adjacent web members 3 are connected to the same bolt joint of the upper chord member 1 or the lower chord member 2; and the double-layer connecting plates 31 of the two adjacent web members 3 on the same bolt joint are internally and externally staggered. Therefore, connections of two adjacent web members 3 and the chord members are connected to intersection points of center-of-gravity lines of the web members 3 and the chord members, so that secondary bending moments of the chord members on the joints are avoided, the bearing capacity of the truss is further improved, and then, a heavier load is borne on a smaller sectional area; and the quality and the economic efficiency are greatly improved.


In the present embodiment, a way that the truss is connected to a roof beam 5 is shown in FIG. 5, and the truss is fixed together with the roof beam 5 through a support assembly. The support assembly consists of a support 6 and end support connecting pieces 7: the support 6 is fixed to the roof beam 5, and the end support connecting pieces 7 are two L-shaped steel plates symmetrically disposed on a surface of the support 6 and are fixed together with the support 6 by using bolts; and the bulges 4 on the ends of the upper chord member 1 are clamped between the two end support connecting pieces 7 and are fixed by using bolts.


In the present embodiment, a trapezoidal groove matched with vertical sections of the bulges 4 in shape is formed between the two end support connecting pieces 7, so that sides of the bulges 4 also play a certain supporting role to guarantee the overall force bearing effect. Ends of the lower chord member 2 are lapped-joint on a lower flange of the roof beam 5. The above-mentioned embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any mode. Any variations such as equivalent substitutions or modifications, etc. made, without departing from the scopes of the technical solutions of the present invention, on the technical solutions and technical contents disclosed in the present invention by the skilled in the art to which the present invention belongs are contents without departing from the technical solutions of the present invention and still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
