Background Art

[0002] Active faults operate in a variety of ways, including single-plate or dual-plate, continuous, and intermittent slip. This potential activity primarily relates to periods of human activity, specifically referring to faults that have been active, are currently active, or may become active in the future, since the Quaternary Period, especially the Late Pleistocene.

Specific implementation methods

[0037] In order to facilitate those skilled in the art to understand and implement the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments. The embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] A vibration table array test device for simulating complex dislocation-vibration coupling comprises a main frame 1 and a vibration table arranged at the lower part of the main frame 1.

[0039] The vibration table includes a vibration table bracket 2, a vibration table frame 3, a vertical actuation module 4 and a horizontal actuation module (5), which serve as the main components of the vibration table array.

[0040] The vibration table bracket 2 is set at the bottom of the main frame 1, the vibration table frame 3 is fixed to the ground, the vertical actuation module 4 is connected to the vibration table bracket 2 and the vibration table frame 3 respectively, and the vertical actuation module 4 provides vertical actuation for the main frame 1. The horizontal actuation module (5) is connected to the vibration table bracket 2 and the vibration table frame 3 respectively, and the horizontal actuation module (5) provides horizontal actuation for the main frame 1.

[0041] The vibration table frame 3 comprises a transverse plate and a longitudinal plate connected to each other. The transverse plate provides a reaction force for the vertical actuation module 4, and the longitudinal plate provides a reaction force for the horizontal actuation module (5).

[0042] The vertical actuation module 4 includes an actuator support steel plate 41 , a first vertical hinge seat 42 , a first vertical hinge seat rotation shaft 43 , a second vertical hinge seat 44 , a second vertical hinge seat rotation shaft 45 , and a vertical actuator 46 .

[0043] The horizontal actuation module (5) comprises a first horizontal hinge seat 51, a first horizontal hinge seat rotation shaft 52, a second horizontal hinge seat 53, a second horizontal hinge seat rotation shaft 54, and a horizontal actuator 55.

[0044] Actuator support steel plate 41 is fixed to the bottom of the vibration table bracket 2. A first vertical hinge seat 42 is provided at the bottom of actuator support steel plate 41, and a second vertical hinge seat 44 is provided on the transverse plate. The ends of vertical actuator 46 are hinged to the first vertical hinge seat 42 and the second vertical hinge seat 44, respectively. When vertical actuator 46 is in operation, the vertical vibration force is transmitted to the main frame 1 through actuator support steel plate 41 and vibration table bracket 2.

[0045] In some embodiments, the vertical actuation modules 4 include a plurality of vertical actuation modules 4 , and the vertical actuation modules 4 are distributed in an array between the vibration table support 2 and the transverse plate.

[0046] A first horizontal hinge 51 is fixed to the side of the vibration table bracket 2, and a second horizontal hinge 53 is fixed to the longitudinal plate. The ends of the horizontal actuator 55 are respectively hinged to the first and second horizontal hinges 51 and 53. When the horizontal actuator 55 is in operation, it transmits the horizontal vibration force to the main frame 1 through the vibration table bracket 2.

[0047] In some embodiments, the horizontal actuation modules (5) include a plurality of modules, and the array is distributed between the vibration table bracket 2 and the longitudinal plate.

[0048] In some embodiments, there are multiple sets of vibration platforms, which are evenly arranged at the lower part of the main frame 1.

[0049] As a preferred solution, the top end of the vertical actuator 46 is hinged to the first vertical hinge seat 42, and the bottom end of the vertical actuator 46 is hinged to the second vertical hinge seat 44. The plane on which the top end of the vertical actuator 46 rotates around the first vertical hinge seat 42 is the first vertical plane, and the plane on which the bottom end of the vertical actuator 46 rotates around the second vertical hinge seat 44 is the second vertical plane.

The plane on which one end of the horizontal actuator 55 rotates around the first horizontal hinge seat 51 is located in the first vertical plane, and the plane on which the other end of the horizontal actuator 55 rotates around the second horizontal hinge seat 53 is located in the horizontal plane.

[0050] By setting the above-mentioned disturbance plane, the vibration effects of vertical and horizontal vibrations can be superimposed, avoiding vibration loss caused by rigid connection. In addition, the horizontal actuation module 5 and the vertical actuation module 4 do not conflict during operation, thereby protecting the safety of the equipment and users.

[0051] The main frame 1 is a rectangular parallelepiped frame, and a staggered mold box is provided in the main frame 1. The staggered mold box includes a movable box body 10 and a fixed box body 11. The movable box body 10 and the fixed box body 11 constitute an internal stuffing box. The movable box body 10 and the fixed box body 11 are both rectangular parallelepipeds. The movable box body 10 and the fixed box body 11 have open top surfaces. The opposite ends of the movable box body 10 and the fixed box body 11 are open ends. A mold box shear seam 14 is provided between the open end of the movable box body 10 and the open end of the fixed box body 11. The mold box shear seam 14 is provided so that the shearing action between the movable box body 10 and the fixed box body 11 can be completed smoothly without causing jamming.

[0052] As a preferred solution, a movable shear seam baffle is provided at the open end edge of the movable box 10, and a fixed shear seam baffle is provided at the open end edge of the fixed box 11. A set distance is provided between the movable shear seam baffle and the fixed shear seam baffle to prevent sand leakage during the shearing process, which would affect normal operation.

[0053] Horizontal steel structures 13 are provided on the sides of both sides of the fixed box body 11. The bottom of the fixed box body 11 is set on the bottom surface inside the main frame 1 through the vertical steel structure 12. One end of the horizontal steel structure 13 is fixed to the side of the fixed box body 11, and the other end is against the inner wall of the side of the main frame 1.

[0054] Vertical linear guide rails 7 are provided on the sides of both sides of the movable box 10. The fixed part of the vertical linear guide rail 7 is provided on the side of the movable box 10. The sliding part of the vertical linear guide rail 7 is connected to the telescopic part of the horizontal shift jack 6. The fixed part of the horizontal shift jack 6 is connected to the inner wall of the side of the main frame 1.

[0055] A horizontal linear guide rail 9 is provided at the bottom of the movable box 10, and the fixed part of the horizontal linear guide rail 9 is provided at the bottom of the movable box 10. The sliding part of the horizontal linear guide rail 9 is connected to the telescopic part of the vertical offset jack 8, and the fixed part of the vertical offset jack 8 is provided on the bottom surface inside the main frame 1.

[0056] The horizontal shift jack 6 provides horizontal shifting force for the movable box 10 relative to the fixed box 11. When the horizontal shift jack 6 pushes the movable box 10 to move horizontally, the sliding part of the horizontal linear guide 9 moves horizontally relative to the fixed part, that is, the telescopic direction of the telescopic part of the horizontal shift jack 6 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding part of the horizontal linear guide 9.

[0057] The vertical shift jack 8 provides a vertical shift force for the movable box 10 relative to the fixed box 11. When the vertical shift jack 8 pushes the movable box 10 to move vertically, the sliding part of the vertical linear guide 7 moves vertically relative to the fixed part, that is, the telescopic direction of the telescopic part of the vertical shift jack 8 is parallel to the sliding direction of the sliding part of the vertical linear guide 7.

[0058] When the telescopic portion of the horizontal shift jack 6 on one side of the movable housing 10 extends, the telescopic portion of the horizontal shift jack 6 on the other side of the movable housing 10 simultaneously retracts. Pulling the movable housing 10 achieves bidirectional force, and the horizontal linear guide 9 at the bottom of the movable housing 10 provides a path for horizontal shift of the movable housing 10. When vertical shift is required, the vertical shift jack 8 at the bottom of the movable housing 10 applies a load upward to push the movable housing 10, and the vertical linear guides 7 on both sides of the movable housing 10 provide a path for vertical shift of the movable housing 10. Vertical-horizontal coupled shifting can be achieved by switching between horizontal and vertical shifting.

[0059] The present invention can complete three types of earthquake damage simulations, including tunnel fault model test simulation, tunnel shaking table model test simulation, and tunnel creep-strong earthquake model test simulation.
