Air spring based horizontal seismic isolation bearing

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of seismic isolation bearing technology, specifically a horizontal seismic isolation bearing based on air springs, comprising a lower connecting steel plate, an upper connecting steel plate, a lead-core rubber bearing element, a supporting sliding element, a sector-shaped air spring, and a dust cover. The lead-core rubber bearing element is fixedly connected to the upper part of the supporting sliding element, and the supporting sliding element and the lower connecting steel plate are connected through sliding contact, forming a sliding friction pair. Multiple sector-shaped air springs are arranged circumferentially around the supporting sliding element, and the outer sides of the sector-shaped air springs are connected to steel limiting rings fixed to the lower connecting steel plate. The sector-shaped air springs are internally equipped with limiting devices and buffer rubber to prevent excessive displacement and compression damage. A dust cover is installed on the upper part of the steel piston rod of the sector-shaped air spring. The bearing of this invention can automatically adjust its working state according to the earthquake intensity, primarily using sliding and air springs during minor earthquakes, and activating the lead-core rubber for energy dissipation during major earthquakes, achieving intelligent graded seismic isolation.
