 The bolt ball node is mainly composed of the following parts: Steel ball: Material: forged or cast solid steel ball, but the inner part is actually hollow to reduce weight. Role: As the core component of the connection, the steel ball is drilled and turned out according to the angle of convergence of the net frame rods, and is used to connect with the bolts. Bolt: Material: high strength bolt to ensure the reliability and durability of the connection. Role: Connect the steel pipe members and steel balls together by bolts to form a whole structure. The diameter and length of the bolts are selected according to the force demand. Sleeve: Shape: usually a hexagonal sleeve for easy screwing. Role: Sleeve on the screw of the bolt, by unscrewing the sleeve can drive the bolt to rotate, so as to realise the connection between the bolt and the steel ball. Pins or screws: Function: used to fix the bolt and sleeve together, preventing the sleeve from falling off in the process of unscrew...
