Description

For connecting the device and method of timber flange

Technical field

The present invention relates to architecture construction field, the tier building especially with timber as primary structural material is built It makes.

Background technique

The stability of tier building is usually to be assigned with the combination of steel or armored concrete or two kinds of materials.Steel frame It can be individually used for low-rise building.For middle-high building, usually using concrete or support steel core.It, can for skyscraper Promote building course to use concrete core.When steel construction surrounds core when standing upright, core assigns stability.In some skyscrapers In, " outer skeleton " can also be used to assign stability, this usually requires a large amount of odd-job, because of final constancy system It is only only after a large amount of floor is straightened complete.

The corrosion of reinforcing bar as armored concrete component part is problem well-known in architecture construction.Preferably It is that concrete provides enough protections by the protectiveness alkaline environment provided by fresh concrete for the steel of insertion, in steel Surface forms protective coating, protects steel from corrosion.However, over time, pH value slowly declines, alkaline condition disappears A possibility that losing, leading to steel corrosion increase.By providing enough cement contents, completely densified and appropriate maintenance, it can be ensured that The maintenance of alkaline environment.However, these measures are difficult to sufficiently realize in practice first, secondly, these are arranged in adverse environment It applies not enough.

The problem of corrosion is also structural steel beam used in architecture construction.Corrosion can be solved by using coating system Certainly, which includes the paint coatings application of sequence or coats coating on metal coating alternatively to form " dual " apply Layer system.Protective coating system is usually made of priming paint, centre/building coats and modified coatings.Metal coating, example can be used Such as pass through galvanizing by dipping and hot-spraying technique.Finally, this coating can decompose, and be exposed to following structural steel to cause to corrode Environment in.

Other than etching problem, acceptable quality concrete or steel possibly can not be obtained, or possibly can not be with Acceptable cost obtains.

In view of environmental factor, it is well known that concrete industry is one of two maximum producers of carbon dioxide, is produced Up to 5% in the worldwide anthropogenic discharge amount of raw this gas, wherein 50% comes from chemical process, 40% carrys out spontaneous combustion Fuel.Obviously, the production of steel is the process (mainly due to having used a large amount of thermal energy in smelting process) of a high energy consumption, because This is an important factor for generating carbon dioxide.

As the substitute of steel and concrete, timber is used for the construction of tier building.However, it is necessary to using having Gao Heng The timber of sectional area provides required bearing capacity and span.In view of needing to adopt from the main region of highly developed trees Lumbering material, this timber are usually very expensive.

Recently, Engineered Wood Product Manufacturing, as laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and glue laminated timber material have been used for architecture construction.? When producing these products, lumber layer heat, resinoid bond form very firm structure together with pressure glued (lamination) Component, the structural elements can be by the sizes and produced in lengths of rule.Although these woodworks are usually effective, price is high It is expensive therefore unavailable in numerous applications.In addition, in production (mainly thermal energy) and using chemicals (such as adhesive and viscous Knot agent) in need a large amount of Energy inputs.

Engineered Wood Product Manufacturing must be produced by point-device manufacturing method, and there is stringent quality assurance and quality control to want It asks.Therefore, these products cannot be widely available, it may be necessary to which construction site is arrived in long-distance transport.In available situation, these productions Product are expensive, may be not cost-effective in cost for many applications.

One aspect of the present invention is to build neither to obtain by steel nor by concrete by providing material and method The tier building of principal stability is obtained to overcome or improve problem of the prior art.Another aspect of the present invention is to provide for building Build the alternative materials and method of construction.

It in the present specification include that the discussion to document, movement, material, device, product etc. is only mentioned merely for for the present invention For the purpose of context.And it is not recommended that or indicate a part of any or all of composition prior art basis in these objects, The either common knowledge of related fields of the invention because its before the priority date of each claim of the application In the presence of.

In addition, being not offered as all embodiments all shows all advantages of the invention, although some embodiments may be shown All advantages are shown.Some embodiments can only show one or several advantages.Some embodiments can not show and be mentioned herein Any advantage.

The present invention is based at least partially on the suggested below of applicant, i.e. the timber of relative small diameter can be with juxtaposition one It rises, to use connector described herein to form COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION BEAMS.Connector includes multiple engagement members, and each engagement member extends Into minor diameter timber flange, to by timber flange and be set to composite structural member.Therefore, in the first aspect, of the invention A kind of connector for one group of timber flange of juxtaposition is provided, which includes main region, which has prolongs from it The multiple engagement members stretched, each engagement member are configured to engage with timber flange.

As follows to will be described more fully, connector of the invention can take many forms, and can be used for (with wood The combination of material flange) rod structure, girder construction and coupled column/girder construction be provided, all these structures all utilize timber, for example, round log and Minor diameter peeler core.In addition, connector of the invention allows to use timber in the construction of tier building.Therefore, present invention generation Table and prior art configuration and hardware it is dramatically different, prior art configuration and hardware generally relies on big cross section sawn timber or steel Component forms the load-carrying members in building.

The composite structural member that connector manufacture of the invention can be used may be used as the column of building, beam, Half Beam, hold Support, joist, strut, truss or any other structural elements.As will be discussed more fully below, connector can be used for connecing Composite structural member is closed, both the means as termination, is also used for carrying out right angle engagement between column and beam, for example, in column and beam In the case where being all juxtaposed timber flange.

These arrangements allow to build at least several layers of buildings, and frame is mainly made of timber.Of the invention some In embodiment, building can by round log, the timber of the smaller diameter of even such as peeler core constitutes.

Connector of the invention is usually formed as with principal plane region (being plate in one embodiment), and have from Principal plane region extends 90 degree of engagement member.Engagement member can be pin or bar, these pins or bar are usually in regular fashion Setting, so as to be inserted into the axial hole by the juxtaposed each timber flange of connector.As long as a flange cannot be opposite Mobile (axial, radial direction or rotation) in another flange, the combination of plate and engagement member, which is just played, prevents timber flange from individually making Effect.Therefore, for transmitting load by it, juxtaposed timber flange can function similarly to overall structure component Effect.Therefore, in construction, juxtaposed flange can be used to substitute single big cross section timber or even steel member.

Unless state otherwise, otherwise when at building structural element described herein as (such as " column " or " beam "), it is considered that this Kind structural elements is formed by multiple timber flanges juxtaposed and being connected to connector of the invention.In general, two will be used Connector: each one at every end of flange.The number of flanges that juxtaposition forms structural member together will depend on expected in use Load.In summary, increased load will need increased number of flange, or the flange with increased cross-sectional area.It is convex (i.e. one on top of the other, including 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 or 10 flanges) can be linearly arranged in edge, or with grid knot Structure setting is (for example, have 2,3,4 or 5 rows；With 2,3,4 or 5 column).In some embodiments, network is square (such as 2 rows × 2 column), but it is also contemplated that other structures (such as 4 rows × 1 column or 3 rows × 2 column).

Although the main function of engagement member is the position of positioning and fixed flange end and prevents each flange from individually making With, but secondary action can be and prevent wood fibre in flange end broken.Engagement member can will be applied to connector On at least part of any down load be transmitted to deeper region in flange.

In one embodiment, engagement member can be configured to extend at least about 1cm, 2cm in flange, 3cm, 4cm, 5cm, 6cm, 7cm, 8cm, 9cm or 10cm.In order to resist on engagement member caused deformation force (for example, by due to superposition Compression caused by structure or lateral force), it is contemplated that expected horizontal, the engagement member for the deformation force that may apply in given application It can be configured to smallest cross-section area.Cross-sectional area be greater than No. 2 nails component be in numerous applications it is useful, it is excellent The form of choosing be similar to diameter be at least about 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 24mm, 25mm, 28mm, The reinforcing bar (high yield reinforcing bar, high tensile steel muscle or mild steel reinforcement) of 32mm, 40mm or 50mm.

Engagement member is usually elongated and linear, and is configured to be inserted in flange end medially and axial In the drilling that ground is formed.The size of engagement member and flange can be configured to provide pressure cooperation.Alternatively, two components it Between can there are some spaces, to allow using adhesive.Under any circumstance, flange growth ring (its can with engage structure Part is concentric) it can be used to resist engagement member deformation, and the uniformly distributed load in entire flange and connector.Usually engagement structure Part is identical, however this feature is not to be regarded as necessary to form of ownership of the invention.

In some embodiments, engagement member can have be not stringent pin-shaped or rod profile.For example, component can be with It is wedge shape, cone or pyramid.

The main region and engagement member of connector are usually made of the resistance to deformation material of such as steel or high-strength polymer.? In many embodiments, the major part (usually plate) and engagement member (form usually sold) of connector are all formed from steel. Plate can be separately fabricated, and sells through welding (or equivalent fixing means) attachment, or entire connector can be formed or It is molded as integral product.In other embodiments, hole is formed in plate, and engagement member is screwed into and is threadedly coupled across plate, To extend outwardly from the other side.In view of the benefit of this specification, technical staff can be sufficiently envisaged in connector Other suitable methods of engagement member are formed in main region.In one embodiment, main region is plate, and engagement member from Plate extends.Main region needs not be continuous structure, has notch or other discontinuous portions in some embodiments.

The main region of connector may or may not be configured to extend upwardly beyond juxtaposition flange in any or all side Periphery.In some applications the reason of (usually for security against fire), the cross-sectional area of main region is less than by juxtaposition flange The region that periphery is sketched the contours.This tolerable injury level sheet material around the main region equably in recessed end wood zone and above it, with Its adjacent side.Next (on) concrete floor on layer or sheet material can neutralize with recessed any timber End grain region Below, thus hide or reinforce connector main region, and protect connector and timber end from be directly heated or fire The influence of flame.The latent defect of the embodiment is that the load capacity that can bear of plate is reduced, but this can by using more or The flange of bigger cross-sectional area overcomes.

A kind of combined column including connector of the invention, second level orientation can be served as in Application in Building by, which connecting into, carries The component of lotus sharing system, second level orientation load sharing system at least depend on juxtaposition to a certain extent and (are pushing up together Portion and bottom) multiple timber flanges end fiber flush end bearing capacity, be particularly depending on fiber and bear from this hair The ability of the compressive load of bright connector, the connector have born the load from above-mentioned similarly juxtaposed flange group.

Connector can have the engagement member extended in both directions from main region.In one embodiment, engagement member Extend from the opposite side of main region.Such embodiment is useful when first group of flange is connected to second group of flange.

In another embodiment, connector is configured to be fastened to the connector of another same or like function.In this way, First connector can be used for first group of timber flange of juxtaposition, and the second connector can be used for second group of timber flange of juxtaposition, and And first connector be fastened to the second connector, so as between first group and second group of flange formed indirect arrangements connection.

Alternatively, connector can be configured to one that building or building are fastened to during building construction Point.For example, connector can be configured to be attached to the building component of the prior art, such as the column of building, beam, support, support Beam, truss or any other framing component.The construction for being connected to non-timber building component, such as steel frame portion can also be provided Part, concrete member or masonry component.Alternatively, it can provide and be connected to such as bracket, strut, plate, cap or class Like the construction of the building hardware of contrivance.Alternatively, connector can be configured to be fastened to by with the present invention The multiple timber flanges of connector juxtaposition and on the structural elements that is formed.

In the form for being configured to facilitate fastening, connector may include one or more apertures, the size in the aperture Suitable for receiving bolt or similar fastener.Bolt can extend through the aperture of two connectors, and nut fastens partly forever for making Longization.Alternatively, clamp system can be used for for the first connector being fastened to the second connector or other building components.Another In a kind of form, threaded pin can be used for for connector of the invention being fastened to another connector or other building components. In view of the benefit of this specification, technical staff is it is conceivable that other clamp devices and correspondingly construct connector.

Engagement member can be configured to be directly driven in flange in a manner of being similar to nail, so that in engagement member Drive actions form drilling in the flange.In some cases, this may result in flange and splits, and in this case, make Use alternative means.Preferably, each engagement member is configured to pin, which is configured in the preformed hole of insertion flange.It can With before being inserted into engagement member by adhesive injection hole, in order to provide more reliable combination.

In general, flange has equal length, and connector is applied to the both ends of flange.Therefore, flange is at two End is combined together, and flange substantially cannot move radially or be axially relative to one another relative to each other movement.

As described above, the advantages of connector of the invention, is, can with the relatively small wooden flange of the multiple diameters of juxtaposition with Form the composite structural member of one.Suitable flange includes round log.Round log is described in the 6th chapter of Australian Standard 1720, And usually by being made as the coniferous tree of renewable artificial forest wood Commercial Growers.The usual fast growing of these timber is easy It fells, and there is lower natural flaw rate.

The timber of multiple tree species suitably forms proper circle wood, especially for often having for a large portion of its length There are the tree species of those of relative constant diameter type, so that waste during trimming and rounding minimizes.It is such as wet The plantation pine tree material of ground pine or pinus caribaea hybrid often will form suitable proper circle wood.Admissible other materials include Pesudotsuga taxifolia and yate kind.

Proper circle wood is particularly strong, because the Natural gas composition of lumber fibre is not destroyed by sawing or other processing.Round log it is complete Whole property is maintained, and trimming process needed for rounding round log will not substantially influence the overall strength of round log.The nature of timber Characteristic is that the central core of round log or pith are relatively soft, and has lower structural strength.On the other hand, the periphery of timber is wanted Much harder, and lumber fibre is able to bear higher tensile load.In addition, the harder outer layer is more resistant to absorbing water and resist insect Infringement, therefore, by remaining intact the periphery of timber largely during preparing proper circle wood, the structure of timber is complete Whole property is maintained.

Round log in some forms of the invention does not follow strictly Australian Standard 1720, but can have smaller Diameter, so that not being able to satisfy the standard.However, also can achieve required hold by will at least three round logs tighten together Loading capability.

In some embodiments, timber flange is " peeler core ".It will be appreciated by the skilled person that peeler core is circular through pressing The column of power processing.Peeler core is converted to the degree that essentially all cork has all removed in milling machine and (is used for glued board system Make), leave usually fine and close and not bending hardwood core.Milling process removes bark, forming layer, sapwood and even some heartwoods Veneer is made.This makes do not have sapwood on column.

The hardwood core of peeler core not absorption pressure processing and preservative and cork, cause usually cannot as outside have The column inferior for having the column of processed cork durable like that.

It has been found that economically and technically feasible purposes is peeler core, core can be public in such as this paper institute It is used in the composite wood products opened.(and even there is the diameter down to about 70,60,50 or 40mm using multiple peeler cores Peeler core) can produce can be used for build in but the very high component of cost performance.Peeler core is often thought of as forestry waste product, in city There is extremely low value on field.In one embodiment, the present invention relates to by the peeler core only in conjunction with connector of the invention The wood structure component of composition.

In view of the minor diameter of peeler core, it should be understood that large number of round log may be needed any desired to realize Structural property.Although being used for example, the structural elements being only made of larger diameter round log may only need 2 or 3 round logs Peeler core may need 4,5,6,7 or 8 cores to realize useful result.

In general, flange and connector are configured to ensure that the surface of each flange is contacted with all adjacent ribs.Therefore, convex The diameter of edge and the spacing of engagement member can be configured to the contact for ensuring flange with flange.It is appreciated that the diameter of round log It can change, and the spacing of engagement member is substantially fixed.Therefore, provide will be from each for some embodiments of the present invention Flange removes the opposite longitudinal sections of (passing through chamfer angle technique), and in order to provide opposite substantially flat surface, which can To serve as the contact interface between flange.

The amount of wood removed from flange can be different because of flange, so as in the flange between the heart and substantially flat surface Fixed distance is provided.Therefore, when on the long axis that the flange being thusly-formed when two is stacked on them, the distance of center to center It is fixed.The distance between engagement member of fixed range and connector is consistent, therefore the composite structural member being thusly-formed It is easily assembled to, and avoids and may be acted on any one of flange or engagement member caused by undesirable component as assembling Unpredictalbe power.

In some embodiments, flange passes through the adhesive phase being arranged between the contact area between two flanges and is pressed in Together.Additionally or alternatively, flange has across it and on the whole across the fastener of long axis extension.For example, fastener can To be the rod iron being inserted into in drilling made of alternate acute angle and obtuse angle, duplicate V-arrangement figure is formed with the length along flange Case.Fastener such an arrangement provides truss effects to assign composite wood component bigger bending resistance, therefore in flange It is used to form particularly useful in the case where composite floor board joist or the like.Flange can be according to following any international monopoly explanation Any one of various means disclosed in book are laminated together, and these patents are incorporated herein by reference: WO/ 2015/176125, WO/2015/031957 and WO/2010/057243, WO/2009/094696, WO/2016/086275, Australia are big Leah temporary patent application 2016902472 (submission on June 23rd, 2016).

In one embodiment, the main region of connector has from main region and on the whole opposite with engagement member The supporting member just upwardly extended.Preferably, main region is horizontally disposed plate, and engagement member is upwards and vertical from main region plate Extend, supporting member is the plate extended generally downwardly from the center of main region plate.This improved form of connector allows one Group flange is simultaneously set to the column upwardly extended, and the column is square on the surface by vertical plate support member support.

In another embodiment, connector is constructed such that main region is to form angle (typically about 90 degree of angle Degree) plate so that the surface is used to support and/or stablizes in the structure that the horizontal component (in use) of plate is disposed below The vertical extension of main region, vertical extension have from its horizontal-extending engagement member.Horizontal component can be by structure It causes to be fastened to following structure, and can have for example allows fastener (such as bolt or screw) to extend through down Aperture in the structure in face.

This combination with the right angle (i) main region and the connector of (ii) supporting zone can be used for integration and upwardly extend Column, the column, the horizontal beam extended to the left and the beam extended horizontally to the right that extend downwardly.By construction, the column extended downwardly is first It is first mounted in place, juxtaposition includes that the main region plate of the flange of the column extended downwardly is horizontally set.Then, horizontally to the left and The beam extended to the right is mounted on the level board of the beam upwardly extended, the horizontal continuation of the plate of each connector of each beam It installs and is bolted on following plate.There are spaces between the vertical extension of the plate of each connector of each beam. The function in the space is closely to receive the vertical plate supporting member of the connector of the column upwardly extended.Bolt extends through (i) The vertical plate of the connector of beam and (ii) are clipped in the vertical plate supporting member between above-mentioned vertical plate.By this arrangement, provide The rigid unitaries of all components.
