Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of engineering structure seismic isolation, and in particular to a three-dimensional seismic isolation device. Background Art

[0002] Earthquakes are multi-dimensional, sudden and destructive natural disasters. Several earthquake damage phenomena and post-earthquake investigations at home and abroad have shown that for traditional horizontal base isolation systems, non-structural components and precision instruments in buildings will be damaged to varying degrees due to the existence of vertical ground acceleration. The horizontal isolation structure system reduces the seismic response of the structure by extending the natural vibration period and structural damping of the superstructure, ensuring that the superstructure can remain in an elastic state or remain in the initial state of elastic-plastic deformation during a large earthquake. However, the impact and harm of vertical earthquakes on structures cannot be ignored, and the horizontal isolation system still has corresponding defects and hidden dangers.

[0003] The current three-dimensional seismic isolation devices have certain shortcomings. The three-dimensional seismic isolation devices with good deformation energy dissipation capacity also have small bearing capacity, which makes it difficult to carry precision instruments with large deadweight; the three-dimensional seismic isolation devices with great vertical bearing capacity also have small hysteresis energy dissipation, which reduces the shock absorption effect. Therefore, there is a need for a three-dimensional seismic isolation device with both horizontal and vertical seismic isolation performance, so as to reduce the damage of earthquakes to non-structural components and precision instruments.

[0030] Example 1

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, a three-dimensional seismic isolation device includes a top plate 1 and a bottom plate 2 corresponding to each other, a disc spring shock absorbing device and a U-shaped damper 4 are arranged between the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 2, the top of the disc spring shock absorbing device is fixedly connected to the top plate 1, and the bottom plate 2 is provided with a groove 5 corresponding to the disc spring shock absorbing device, and the bottom of the disc spring shock absorbing device can slide along the bottom of the groove 5, and the bottom surface of the groove 5 is a curved surface, and a polytetrafluoroethylene material coating is arranged on the curved surface.

[0032] The disc spring shock absorbing device includes a lower support 6, the bottom of the lower support 6 is consistent with the shape of the bottom surface of the groove 5, the bottom surface of the groove 5 is larger than the bottom surface of the lower support 6, and the lower support 6 can slide in the groove 5 of the bottom plate 2, which can solve the influence of lateral displacement and torsion on the disc spring 7 and release the horizontal stiffness of the disc spring 7. A guide column 11 is provided on the lower support 6, and the disc spring 7 is sleeved on the guide column 11. The top of the guide column 11 is connected to the upper support 8, and the upper support 8 is fixedly connected to the top plate 1. A limiting groove 14 matching with the guide column 11 is provided at the bottom of the upper support 8 to prevent the guide column 11 from sliding between the upper support 8 and the lower support 6, changing the force direction of the disc spring, and affecting the seismic isolation effect. The cross-sectional size and material strength of the disc spring 7 are based on the "Disc Spring" (GB / T 1972-2005), and Q345 steel can be used.

[0033] The U-shaped damper 4 is located around the disc spring damping device, the bottom of the U-shaped damper 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 2, and a gap 9 is provided between the top of the U-shaped damper 4 and the top plate 1. When the gap 9 exists, the vertical bearing capacity is borne by the disc spring damping device, and the height of the gap 9 is less than or equal to the ratio of the design weight borne by the top plate 1 to the stiffness of the disc spring 7. Preferably, the height of the gap 9 is equal to the ratio of the design weight borne by the top plate 1 to the stiffness of the disc spring 7.

[0034] The U-shaped damper 4 is a metal damper, and the material of the U-shaped damper 4 is Q235b steel.

[0035] The top of the U-shaped damper 4 is movably connected to the top plate 1. A through hole 10 is provided on the top of the U-shaped damper 4 and the top plate 1. Bolts 12 penetrate the through holes 10 on the top of the U-shaped damper 4 and the top plate 1. Nuts 13 are provided at both ends of the bolts 12. The top of the U-shaped damper 4 and the top plate 1 are located between the two nuts 13. The inner diameter of the through hole 10 is larger than the outer diameter of the bolt 12. When a long-term surface pressure load is applied to the top plate 1, the top plate 1 moves downward, and the gap 9 between the top plate 1 and the U-shaped damper 4 is reduced until the top plate 1 presses the U-shaped damper 4. The nut 13 on one side of the U-shaped damper 4 can be tightened. At this time, the U-shaped damper 4 and the disc spring shock-absorbing device simultaneously bear the vertical earthquake reciprocating load, effectively increasing the vertical energy consumption.

[0036] A limit plate 3 is provided between the U-shaped damper 4 and the top plate 1, and a bolt 12 passes through the U-shaped damper 4, the limit plate 3 and the top plate 1 in sequence. The limit plate 3 can increase the horizontal stability of the U-shaped damper 4. At this time, the gap 9 is located between the top plate 1 and the limit plate 3.

[0037] Four U-shaped dampers 4 are provided, and the U-shaped dampers 4 are evenly and symmetrically distributed around the disc spring shock absorbing device.

[0038] Working process:

[0039] During installation, the disc spring 7 is first sleeved on the guide column 11 in sequence, and then the upper support 8 is placed on the guide column 11, and the guide column 11 is inserted into the limit groove 14 at the bottom of the upper support 8, and the disc spring shock absorbing device is assembled. The assembled disc spring shock absorbing device is placed on the bottom plate 2, and the bottom of the lower support 6 is in surface contact with the bottom surface of the groove 5 of the bottom plate 2.

[0040] The U-shaped damper 4 is placed on the bottom plate 2 , and the U-shaped damper 4 is connected to the bottom plate 2 by bolts; the limiting plate 3 and the top plate 1 are placed on the U-shaped damper 4 in sequence.

[0041] The upper support 8 is connected to the top plate 1 by bolts, and bolts 12 are used to penetrate the U-shaped damper 4, the limit plate 3 and the top plate 1 in sequence, and nuts 13 are set at both ends of the bolts 12 to ensure the gap 9 between the U-shaped damper 4 and the limit plate 3, and the assembly is completed.

[0042] Under the action of vertical earthquake, the disc spring shock-absorbing device exerts its high vertical bearing capacity and certain friction energy dissipation capacity. When a long-term surface pressure load is applied above the top plate 1, the top plate 1 moves downward, and the gap 9 between the top plate 1 and the U-shaped damper 4 is reduced until the top plate 1 presses the U-shaped damper 4. The nut 13 on one side of the U-shaped damper 4 can be tightened. At this time, the U-shaped damper 4 and the disc spring shock-absorbing device simultaneously bear the vertical reciprocating earthquake load, effectively increasing the vertical energy dissipation.

[0043] Under the action of horizontal earthquake, the lower support 6 slides in the groove 5 of the base plate 2, providing a certain friction energy absorption capacity and releasing the horizontal stiffness of the disc spring; at the same time, the U-shaped damper 4 fully exerts its horizontal energy absorption capacity; the curved surface arranged between the base plate 2 and the lower base can effectively solve the influence of lateral displacement and torsion on the disc spring 7; the disc spring shock absorbing device and the U-shaped damper 4 are both made of metal materials, which protects the environment, is more convenient to prefabricate, and is easy to install and replace.

[0044] Example 2

[0045] like Figure 5 As shown, a three-dimensional seismic isolation device is basically the same as Example 1, with the only difference being that four groups of U-shaped dampers 4 are provided, each group including two U-shaped dampers 4 arranged in parallel, and the four groups of U-shaped dampers 4 are evenly and symmetrically distributed around the disc spring shock absorbing device, which can improve the horizontal bearing capacity of the present invention.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, a three-dimensional seismic isolation device is basically the same as Example 1, with the only difference being that twelve U-shaped dampers 4 are provided, and the U-shaped dampers 4 are evenly and symmetrically distributed around the disc spring shock absorbing device, which can improve the horizontal bearing capacity of the present invention.

[0048] Example 4

[0049] like Figure 7 As shown, a three-dimensional seismic isolation device is basically the same as Example 1, with the only difference being that multiple groups of disc spring shock-absorbing devices are provided, and the multiple groups of disc spring shock-absorbing devices are symmetrically distributed around the center of the base plate 2, which is suitable for use requiring a greater vertical bearing capacity.

[0050] The working process of Examples 2-4 is the same as that of Example 1.

[0051] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein by equivalents.
