TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a reinforcing bar connector with a dual eccentric
adjustment function and a connection method, belonging to the field of construction
engineering.
BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY
[0002] In building construction, it is often necessary to connect reinforcing bars. For
prefabricated concrete structures, such as the connection between precast concrete
components and foundations, or the connections between precast beams and between precast
columns, the reinforcing bars to be connected are already cast in the concrete components.
The reinforcing bars to be connected on both sides cannot rotate, and there is a certain
axial deviation. Furthermore, there is a certain gap between the reinforcing bars
at both ends, and the gap between each group of reinforcing bars is not entirely the
same.
[0003] In the prior art, grouting sleeves, double-layer threaded sleeves, or internal-external
threaded sleeves are commonly used to connect two reinforcing bars. These methods
have the following disadvantages: (1) When grouting sleeves are adopted for connection,
the operation is cumbersome and costly, and the connection strength depends on a chemical
process, making it difficult to control the connection quality; (2) When a mechanical
connection such as double-layer threaded sleeves or internal-external threaded sleeves
is adopted, regardless of the connection method of the double-layer threaded sleeves
or the internal-external threaded sleeves, most methods still employ a tubular structure
with both internal and external threads, resulting in a complex structure, numerous
components, and high precision requirements for component processing, leading to high
cost and construction difficulty; a single connection involves multiple threaded pair
connections, potentially reaching four threaded pair connections due to the double-layer
nut structure.
[0004] In view of this, patent document with application number
CN 201821914415.X discloses a reinforcing bar connection device with a dual eccentric structure. In
the aforementioned prior art, an eccentric adjustment function is achieved through
eccentric internal and external threaded nuts and eccentric sleeves, but after adjustment,
locking cannot be performed, making it difficult to guarantee strength.
[0005] In view of this, patent document with application number
CN 202022055035.9 discloses a reinforcing bar connection device. The reinforcing bar connection device
in the above-mentioned prior art is large in size and inconvenient to use.
[0006] In view of this, patent document with application number
CN 202121092262.7 discloses a reinforcing bar mechanical connection mechanism. In the above-mentioned
prior art, eccentric adjustment is achieved by setting a first eccentric threaded
sleeve (3) and a second eccentric threaded sleeve (4). Since the first eccentric threaded
sleeve (3) and the second eccentric threaded sleeve (4) are provided with internal
threads and external threads, it is inconvenient to control them during adjustment.
CONTENT OF THE INVENTION
[0007] An objective of the present invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings
in the prior art and provide a reinforcing bar connector with dual eccentric adjustment
function and a connection method with a reasonable structural design, which is suitable
for two reinforcing bars with a large radial deviation, and capable of covering the
radial deviation of the two reinforcing bars by the dual adjustment eccentricity.
[0008] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above problems
is as follows: a reinforcing bar connector with dual eccentric adjustment function,
including a first connecting sleeve configured to be connected to a first reinforcing
bar and a second connecting sleeve configured to be connected to a second reinforcing
bar, where the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve are connected
by a body of the reinforcing bar connector that compensates for a distance of being
an actual eccentricity between an axis of the first reinforcing bar and an axis of
the second reinforcing bar during a connection process;
the body of the reinforcing bar connector includes an eccentric bolt assembly and
an eccentric screw assembly, where the first connecting sleeve is connected to the
eccentric bolt assembly, the second connecting sleeve is connected to the eccentric
screw assembly, and the eccentric bolt assembly cooperates with the eccentric screw
assembly;
the eccentric bolt assembly includes an eccentric bolt, a connecting threaded sleeve,
a first locking nut and a threaded sleeve locking nut, where the eccentric bolt includes
a bolt head and a bolt shank with parallel and staggered axes, and a distance between
an axis of the bolt head and an axis of the bolt shank is a bolt eccentricity; and
both the first locking nut and the threaded sleeve locking nut are sleeved on the
bolt shank;
the eccentric screw assembly includes an eccentric screw, a screw adjusting nut and
a second locking nut, where the eccentric screw includes a screw head and a screw
shank with parallel and staggered axes, and a distance between an axis of the screw
head and an axis of the screw shank is a screw eccentricity; and both the screw adjusting
nut and the second locking nut are sleeved on the screw shank; and
the first connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the bolt shank, the second
connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to the screw shank, the connecting threaded
sleeve is located on the bolt shank, and the bolt head cooperates with the screw head
by the connecting threaded sleeve; the first locking nut cooperates with the first
connecting sleeve, the threaded sleeve locking nut cooperates with the connecting
threaded sleeve, the screw adjusting nut cooperates with the connecting threaded sleeve,
and the second locking nut cooperates with the second connecting sleeve. In the reinforcing
bar connector, the eccentric bolt assembly and the eccentric screw assembly are provided
to compensate for a radial deviation during the connection of the reinforcing bars.
The first locking nut is provided to lock the bolt shank and a first connecting sleeve,
and a threaded sleeve locking nut is provided to lock the connecting threaded sleeve.
The screw adjusting nut is provided to adjust the length of the screw shank within
the second connecting sleeve, and simultaneously lock the screw head and the connecting
threaded sleeve. The second locking nut is provided to lock the screw shank and the
second connecting sleeve.
[0009] Further, the bolt eccentricity is equal to the screw eccentricity.
[0010] Further, a sum of the bolt eccentricity and the screw eccentricity is a maximum adjustment
eccentricity. The radial deviation coverage range is large.
[0011] Further, a limiting platform is provided on the bolt head, a limiting ring is provided
on the connecting threaded sleeve, and the limiting ring cooperates with the limiting
platform. The limiting platform is frustum-shaped, annular, or spherical, and configured
to be adapted to the limiting ring. The shape of the limiting platform includes, but
is not limited to, the shapes listed above. The shape of the limiting ring cooperates
with the shape of the limiting platform, with the purpose of pulling the bolt shank
by the connecting threaded sleeve. This allows the connecting threaded sleeve to pull
the bolt head when the connecting threaded sleeve is screwed into the screw head,
and the limiting ring and the limiting platform are provided to withstand tensile
loads.
[0012] Further, the screw shank is provided with a nut section, a screw-out section and
a connecting section.
[0013] Further, in an initial state, an axial gap exists between the bolt head and the screw
head, and the screw-out section is greater than the axial gap. The screw-out section
is screwed out, and the length screwed out by the screw-out section compensates for
the length of the axial gap. The length of the connecting section is determined by
the length of the eccentric screw in the second connecting sleeve.
[0014] Further, the first connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to or crimped to the
first reinforcing bar, and the second connecting sleeve is threadedly connected to
or crimped to the second reinforcing bar. If the first connecting sleeve and the second
connecting sleeve have smooth holes at the rear portions, they can be connected to
the first reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar using a crimping method;
if they have internal threads, they can be used to connect to the reinforcing bar
threads, thereby connecting the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting
sleeve to the first reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar.
[0015] Further, the bolt shank is threadedly connected to the first connecting sleeve, and
the screw shank is threadedly connected to the second connecting sleeve; and the bolt
head is located inside the connecting threaded sleeve, and the connecting threaded
sleeve is threadedly connected to the screw head.
[0016] Further, another technical objective of the present invention is to provide a reinforcing
bar connection method for a reinforcing bar connector with a dual eccentric adjustment
function.
[0017] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through
the following technical solution.
[0018] A reinforcing bar connection method for a reinforcing bar connector with a dual eccentric
adjustment function, where a method for connecting the first connecting sleeve and
the second connecting sleeve using the body of the reinforcing bar connector is as
follows:
- (1): rotating the first locking nut to allow the bolt shank to be in a non-locked
state in the first connecting sleeve, and rotating the screw adjusting nut to allow
the screw shank to be screwed out of the second connecting sleeve;
- (2): rotating the eccentric bolt; when a bolt head center point coincides with a screw
head center point, rotating the screw adjusting nut until an end face of the screw
head is adjacent to an end face of the bolt head; and rotating the screw shank and
the bolt shank to align them with each other;
- (3): sleeving the connecting threaded sleeve on the screw head, and rotating the second
locking nut to lock lock the screw shank and the second connecting sleeve; reversely
rotating the screw adjusting nut to form a distance between the screw adjusting nut
and the screw head; and then rotating the first locking nut to lock the bolt shank
and the first connecting sleeve; and
- (4): fully screwing the connecting threaded sleeve into the screw head so that a limiting
ring is in contact with a limiting platform; and rotating the threaded sleeve locking
nut to lock the threaded sleeve locking nut to one end of the connecting threaded
sleeve, and rotating the screw adjusting nut to lock the screw adjusting nut to the
other end of the connecting threaded sleeve, so as to complete the connection.
[0019] Further, before connection, the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting
sleeve are connected to the first reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar respectively
in advance, and the first reinforcing bar and the second reinforcing bar are roughly
aligned; and when a screw-out section is greater than an axial gap and the actual
eccentricity is less than a maximum adjustment eccentricity, the first connecting
sleeve and the second connecting sleeve are allowed to be connected through the body
of the reinforcing bar connector.
[0020] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
1. By using the eccentric bolt and the eccentric screw with the identical adjustment
eccentricity, when the actual eccentricity of the first reinforcing bar and the second
reinforcing bar is less than the maximum adjustment eccentricity, the rotation angle
of the bolt shank and/or screw shank is adjusted to achieve the concentricity of the
bolt head and the screw head, thereby connecting the first reinforcing bar and the
second reinforcing bar.
[0021] 2. Since the bolt eccentricity and the screw eccentricity are equal and both are
an adjustment eccentricity, a single adjustment eccentricity can provide the radial
deviation coverage of the reinforcing bar of being twice the adjustment eccentricity
(i.e., the maximum adjustment eccentricity), significantly reducing the size of the
connecting threaded sleeve while providing greater adjustment for the axial eccentricity
of the reinforcing bar.
[0022] 3. Both the bolt shank and the screw shank have a considerable length exposed outside
the first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve, and this exposed length
has a certain amount of elastic deformation. Moreover, during assembly, the bolt shank
and the screw shank are in a non-locked state to fully utilize the threaded gap between
the bolt shank in the first connecting sleeve and the screw shank in the second connecting
sleeve, both of which provide an additional floating space for the connecting threaded
sleeve to be screwed into the screw head.
[0023] 4. The first connecting sleeve and the second connecting sleeve can be standard sleeves,
and this reinforcing bar connector can cooperate with standard sleeves for use.

SPECIFIC IMPLEMENTATIONS
[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to
the drawings and embodiments. These embodiments are illustrative of the present invention,
and the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0027] Referring to FIGS. 1-11: The reinforcing bar connector with dual eccentric adjustment
function in this embodiment includes the first connecting sleeve 3 configured to be
connected to the first reinforcing bar 5 and the second connecting sleeve 4 configured
to be connected to the second reinforcing bar 6. The first connecting sleeve 3 and
the second connecting sleeve 4 are connected by the body of the reinforcing bar connector
that compensates for the distance of being the actual eccentricity ΔK between the
axis of the first reinforcing bar 5 and the axis of the second reinforcing bar 6 during
a connection process. The first connecting sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to or
crimped to the first reinforcing bar 5, and the second connecting sleeve 4 is threadedly
connected to or crimped to the second reinforcing bar 6. Specifically, the actual
eccentricity ΔK refers to the radial distance between the axis of the first reinforcing
bar 5 and the axis of the second reinforcing bar 6 when the axes are parallel in the
axial direction.
[0028] In this embodiment, the body of the reinforcing bar connector includes the eccentric
bolt assembly 1 and the eccentric screw assembly 2. The first connecting sleeve 3
is connected to the eccentric bolt assembly 1, and the second connecting sleeve 4
is connected to the eccentric screw assembly 2. The eccentric bolt assembly 1 cooperates
with the eccentric screw assembly 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the eccentric bolt assembly 1 includes the eccentric bolt 11,
the connecting threaded sleeve 14, the first locking nut 15, and the threaded sleeve
locking nut 16. The eccentric bolt 11 includes the bolt head 12 and the bolt shank
13 with parallel and staggered axes. The distance between the two axes is the bolt
eccentricity K1.
[0030] In this embodiment, the eccentric screw assembly 2 includes the eccentric screw 21,
the screw adjusting nut 24, and the second locking nut 25. One end of the eccentric
screw 21 is the screw head 22. The eccentric screw 21 includes the screw head 22 and
the screw shank 23 with parallel and staggered axes. The distance between the two
axes is the screw eccentricity K2.
[0031] In this embodiment, the bolt eccentricity K1 and the screw eccentricity K2 are equal
and both an adjustment eccentricity K. The sum of the bolt eccentricity K1 and the
screw eccentricity K2 is the maximum adjustment eccentricity 2K, that is, the maximum
adjustment eccentricity 2K is equal to twice the adjustment eccentricity K.
[0032] In this embodiment, the limiting platform 17 is provided on the bolt head 12, the
limiting ring 18 is provided on the connecting threaded sleeve 14, and the limiting
ring 18 cooperates with the limiting platform 17. The central portion of the limiting
ring 18 is the bolt hole, and the bolt shank 13 passes through the bolt hole. The
limiting ring 18 is in contact with the limiting platform 17. The limiting platform
17 may be frustum-shaped, annular, or spherical, and configured to be adapted to the
limiting ring 18. After the connecting threaded sleeve 14 is screwed into the screw
head 22, the firm connection can be achieved by tightly pressing the limiting platform
17 with the limiting ring 18.
[0033] In this embodiment, the first connecting sleeve 3 is threadedly connected to the
bolt shank 13. The first locking nut 15 and the threaded sleeve locking nut 16 are
both sleeved on the bolt shank 13. The first locking nut 15 is in contact with the
first connecting sleeve 3, and the threaded sleeve locking nut 16 is in contact with
the connecting threaded sleeve 14. The second connecting sleeve 4 is threadedly connected
to the screw shank 23. The screw adjusting nut 24 and the second locking nut 25 are
both sleeved on the screw shank 23. The screw adjusting nut 24 is in contact with
the connecting threaded sleeve 14, and the second locking nut 25 is in contact with
the second connecting sleeve 4. The connecting threaded sleeve 14 is located on the
bolt shank 13, and the bolt head 12 cooperates with the screw head 22 by the connecting
threaded sleeve 14. That is, the bolt head 12 is located inside the connecting threaded
sleeve 14, and the connecting threaded sleeve 14 is threadedly connected to the screw
head 22. The axis of the connecting threaded sleeve 14 coincides with the axis of
the bolt head 12 and the axis of the screw head 22.
[0034] In this embodiment, the screw shank 23 is provided with the nut section L1, the screw-out
section L2, and the connecting section L3. In the initial state, the axial gap G exists
between the bolt head 12 and the screw head 22, and the screw-out section L2 is greater
than the axial gap G. The nut section L1 is used to install the screw adjusting nut
24 and the second locking nut 25 in the initial state. The screw-out section L2 is
used to compensate for the length of the axial gap G. The connecting section L3 is
used to be connected to the second connecting sleeve 4. The length of the connecting
section L3 is determined by the length of the eccentric screw 21 in the second connecting
sleeve 4, and the length of the axial gap G is determined by the body of the reinforcing
bar connector.
[0035] The "initial state" refers to the state after the eccentric bolt assembly 1 is connected
to the first connecting sleeve 3 and the eccentric screw assembly 2 is connected to
the second connecting sleeve 4 and before the body of the reinforcing bar connector
is screwed, as shown in FIG. 1.
[0036] The reinforcing bar connection method of the reinforcing bar connector with dual
eccentric adjustment function in this embodiment is as follows:
[0037] Before connection, the first connecting sleeve 3 and the second connecting sleeve
4 are connected to the first reinforcing bar 5 and the second reinforcing bar 6 respectively
in advance, and the first reinforcing bar 5 and the second reinforcing bar 6 are roughly
aligned. When the screw-out section L2 is greater than the axial gap G and the actual
eccentricity ΔK is less than the maximum adjustment eccentricity 2K, the first connecting
sleeve 3 and the second connecting sleeve 4 are allowed to be connected through the
body of the reinforcing bar connector.
[0038] The method for connecting the first connecting sleeve 3 and the second connecting
sleeve 4 using the body of the reinforcing bar connector is as follows:
- (1) The first locking nut 15 is rotated to allow the bolt shank 13 to be in the non-locked
state in the first connecting sleeve 3 (so that the bolt shank 13 rotates in the first
connecting sleeve 3, allowing adjustment of the length of the bolt shank 13 extending
out of the first connecting sleeve 3), and the screw adjusting nut 24 is rotated to
allow the screw shank 23 to be screwed out of the second connecting sleeve 4 (at this
time, the screw shank 23 is in the non-locked state in the second connecting sleeve
4, and when the screw adjusting nut 24 is rotated, the screw adjusting nut 24 is in
contact with the screw head 22, as shown in FIG. 1).
Specifically, the eccentric screw 21 and the screw adjusting nut 24 can be provided
as an integral structure (that is, the structure similar to the screw adjusting nut
24 is directly machined on the eccentric screw 21, which also facilitates unscrewing
the eccentric screw 21), or they can be provided as separate structures (i.e., the
embodiment in the present application).
- (2) The eccentric bolt 11 is rotated. When the bolt head center point 1A coincides
with the screw head center point 2A (normally, the eccentric bolt 11 is rotated by
less than half a turn to sufficiently align the bolt head 12 with the screw head 22),
the screw adjusting nut 24 is rotated until an end face of the screw head 22 is adjacent
to an end face of the bolt head 12 (as shown in FIG. 2). The screw shank 23 and the
bolt shank 13 are rotated to align them (the screw head 22 and the bolt head 12) with
each other.
- (3) The connecting threaded sleeve 14 is sleeved on the screw head 22 (that is, the
connecting threaded sleeve 14 is screwed on the screw head 22 with 2-3 threads), and
the second locking nut 25 is rotated to lock lock the screw shank 23 and the second
connecting sleeve 4. The screw adjusting nut 24 is reversely rotated so that there
is a distance between the screw adjusting nut 24 and the screw head 22, so that the
connecting threaded sleeve 14 is not interfered with by the adjusting nut 24 when
the connecting threaded sleeve 14 is screwed. Then the first locking nut 15 is rotated
to lock the bolt shank 13 and the first connecting sleeve 3 (as shown in FIG. 3).
- (4) The connecting threaded sleeve 14 is fully screwed into the screw head 22 so that
the limiting ring 18 is in contact with the limiting platform 17. At this time, the
screw head 22 is fully inserted into the connecting threaded sleeve 14, and there
is a distance between an end of the screw head 22 and an end of the connecting threaded
sleeve 14 (as shown in FIG. 4). The threaded sleeve locking nut 16 is rotated to lock
the threaded sleeve locking nut 16 to one end of the connecting threaded sleeve 14,
and the screw adjusting nut 24 is rotated to lock the screw adjusting nut 24 to the
other end of the connecting threaded sleeve 14, so as to complete the connection (as
shown in FIG. 5). If the eccentric screw 21 and the screw adjusting nut 24 are of
the integral structure, when the screw head 22 and the bolt head 12 are butted against
each other, the connecting threaded sleeve 14 and the screw head 22 are tightened
to achieve locking.
[0039] Specifically, when the reinforcing bar connector is used, the eccentric bolt 11 is
rotated. According to the eccentric principle, the bolt eccentricity K1 trajectory
is intersected with the screw eccentricity K2 trajectory when the eccentric bolt 11
is rotated. Generally, within half a turn, the bolt head center point 1A and the screw
head center point 2A have an intersecting point. When the bolt head center point 1A
coincides with the screw head center point 2A, the connecting threaded sleeve 14 can
be partially screwed onto the thread of the screw head 22. Typically, the connecting
threaded sleeve 14 is screwed onto 2-3 threads of the screw head 22. Then, after the
eccentric bolt assembly 1 and the eccentric screw assembly 2 are locked with the first
connecting sleeve 3 and the second connecting sleeve 4 respectively, the connecting
threaded sleeve 14 is further fully screwed onto the thread of the screw head 22 and
tightened.
[0040] As shown in FIG. 6, eccentricity adjustment state state 1: The bolt head center point
1A and the screw head center point 2A are on the same axis, and meanwhile the bolt
shank center point 1B and the screw shank center point 2B are also on the same axis,
where the actual eccentricity ΔK is zero.
[0041] As shown in FIG. 7, eccentricity adjustment state state 2: The bolt shank 13 or the
screw shank 23 is rotated approximately 1/6 turn so that the bolt head center point
1A and the screw head center point 2A are on the same axis. At this time, the actual
eccentricity ΔK is 1 time the adjustment eccentricity K.
[0042] As shown in FIG. 8, eccentricity adjustment state state 3: The bolt shank 13 or the
screw shank 23 is rotated approximately 1/3 turn so that the bolt head center point
1A and the screw head center point 2A are on the same axis. At this time, the actual
eccentricity ΔK is 1.732 times the adjustment eccentricity K.
[0043] As shown in FIG. 9, eccentricity adjustment state state 4: At this time, the bolt
head center point 1A and the screw head center point 2A are on the same axis, and
the actual eccentricity ΔK is twice the adjustment eccentricity K, that is, at this
time, the actual eccentricity ΔK is the maximum adjustment eccentricity 2K.
