Abstract

The present invention describes a system for coupling the connector and the pipe of a space frame structure. The connector of the present invention comprises a bottle and a plate for coupling pipes of various dimensions. The bottle comprises a hollow conical space for receiving a bolt with a conical spring disposed traversely on the middle portion thereof. The conical space of the bottle also opens into a cylindrical space having a longitudinal groove disposed on the internal diameter thereof for accommodating a bolt having key disposed on the tail portion of the bolt. The plate has a seating on the surface fronting the bottle for coupling it to the plate. The plate also has another seating on the surface fronting the pipe for coupling the bottle assembly to the pipe. As the bottle and plate members of the present invention are interchangeable, the number of components required to assembling a space frame structure is minimized.

Description

The Central Laboratories of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the Consumers' Cooperatives, has sold out (7). The operation of the pin (7) will be explained separately below. Referring to Figure 1, a partial cross-section and a front view of the plate (10) are illustrated. The plate (10) includes an opening (11) for receiving the bolt (1) therethrough. The plate has a limited thickness and is disposed on the opposite surfaces thereof as the first base (12) and the second base (14). This seat (12) and (14) are raised parts for receiving and fixing one end of the tube (not shown in the first picture, but shown in the second picture) and one end of the bottle body (2 · 0). . A "0" ring groove (13) and a steel 0-ring (16) are arranged around the first seat (12) to provide a pipe coupling there for convenience. This plate constitutes one of the novel concepts of the present invention; as will be explained in Section 4), the total number of nickel components for a space architecture structure is minimized because the components are replaceable. Because of this, manufacturing and assembly contractors are economical in terms of storage and inventory costs. The savings in machinery and manufacturing can be passed on to consumers. Refer to Section 1 again, the section and front view of the bottle body (20) are explained. The bottle body (20) has a wide base and a narrow neck, and a front terminal (21) and a rear terminal (22). The rear terminal (22) is coupled to the second seat (14) of the plate (10); it is further expanded into an internal space (25) for receiving the spring (15) of the bolt (1). In a preferred embodiment of the invention, the spring (15) has a tapered shape. Because of this, the internal space (25) is pseudo-shaped accordingly. Those skilled in the art should understand that this interior space can take different shapes. This internal space is further expanded into a hollow passage (23) for receiving the tail (5) of the bolt. A longitudinal groove (24) is arranged on the circumference of the channel (23).

Description of the invention (1) Scope of the invention: The invention relates to the scope of the space architecture. In addition, the present invention belongs to a method and an apparatus for coupling spatial framework components using a minimum of replaceable components. Explanation of the relative skills: The space structure is used as a roof support structure to provide a beautiful column-free environment. Examples of such structures are aircraft racks, indoor culture, sports and entertainment facilities, and conference halls. The German manufacturer Mero was the first to use a space structure by using a combination of tube compression members and surrounding nodes to form a space structure. Most space frame systems require a pre-sized connector that is assembled at both ends of the tube and then coupled to the peripheral nodes. Because of this, a space architecture manufacturer or contractor of a space architecture project needs a large inventory of Jiang maintenance tubes, peripheral junctions, and Γ connectors. The range of this inventory is divided by the fact that each connector is tailored to a tube of a specific size. Similarly, the peripheral joints can be adapted to couple, a specific range of tubes and connectors. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention describes a system for coupling a connector to a space architecture. The connector of the present invention comprises a bottle body and a plate for coupling tubes of various sizes. The bottle body includes a hollow conical space for receiving a bolt having a conical spring placed laterally on an intermediate portion thereof. The cone-shaped space of the bottle body is also opened to form a cylindrical space with a longitudinal groove arranged on its inner diameter for receiving a bolt with a pin arranged on its tail. This board has the paper size applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 mm.)
