Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-3 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0023] An energy-absorbing and buffering type damper for steel bridge shock absorption and its use method, including a support base 1, a bridge pier 2 and a bridge deck 21. There are multiple bridge piers 2 and they are installed on both sides of the support base 1. The top of the bridge pier 2 is provided with a top beam structure, which is beneficial to enhancing the support strength of the bridge pier 2. The top of the bridge pier 2 is also provided with a fixed seat 8. The bottom of the bridge pier 2 is provided with a support cross beam 12. A first damping rod 13 is arranged between the support cross beam 12 and the bridge deck 21, which is used to reduce the displacement of the bridge deck 21 when it is vibrated. The front and rear end faces of the bridge deck 21 have grooves 4. A cable shock absorption mechanism is arranged between the grooves 4 and the fixed seat 8, which is used to enhance the stability of the bridge deck 21. The lower end face of the bridge deck 21 is provided with a buffer seat 14. The lower end face of the buffer seat 14 has a buffer cavity 15. A buffer component is arranged inside the buffer cavity 15, which is used to transfer the vibration load of the bridge deck 21 and reduce the diagnosis amplitude of the bridge deck 21. A connecting rod 11 connected to the cable shock absorption mechanism is also arranged on the buffer component.

[0024] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the top beam structure is composed of three reinforcing beams 3. The centers of the three reinforcing beams 3 intersect with each other, and both ends are fixedly connected to the bridge pier 2, forming a triangular structure therebetween. The triangular decoupling stock has the characteristic of high stability, which is beneficial to enhancing the strength of the bridge pier 2.

[0025] Specifically, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, the cable shock-absorbing mechanism includes a rotating pin 5 installed in the groove 4, a cable seat 9 installed on the fixed seat 8, and multiple steel cables 7. A bottom bolt seat 6 fixed to the rotating pin 5 is arranged inside the groove 4. Both the bottom bolt seat 6 and the cable seat 9 are provided with through holes. Both ends of the steel cable 7 penetrate through the through holes and are connected with locking balls 10. A triangular structure is formed among the steel cable 7, the bridge deck 21, and the bridge pier 2, which improves the stability of the bridge deck 21 while enhancing the overall stability of the steel bridge.

[0026] Specifically, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown in the figure, the buffer assembly includes a damping block 17 installed in the buffer cavity 15. A guide rod 16 penetrating through the damping block 17 is also arranged inside the buffer cavity 15. The side wall of the damping block 17 is connected with the buffer cavity 15 through a damping rod two 18. An energy-absorbing spring 19 is sleeved on the telescopic end of the damping rod two 18. Extension plates 20 are arranged on the front and rear end faces of the damping block 17. The extension plates 20 are rotatably connected with a connecting rod 11 through a rotating shaft. The other end of the connecting rod 11 is rotatably connected with the bottom end of the rotating pin 5. When the bridge deck 21 vibrates, the damping block 17 moves linearly back and forth along the guide rod 16 inside the buffer cavity 15 along with the movement of the bridge deck 21. During the movement, the damping rod two 18 performs damping telescoping, and the energy-absorbing spring 19 performs adaptive telescoping. The damping block 17 drives the connecting rod 11 to rotate during the movement, the connecting rod 11 drives the rotating pin 5 to rotate, the rotating pin 5 drives the bottom bolt seat 6 to deflect, and the deflection of the bottom bolt seat 6 causes the bottom end of the steel cable 7 to move, converting the dynamic load of the bridge deck 21 into the dynamic loads of the damping block 17, the damping rod two 18, and the energy-absorbing spring 19.

[0027] Specifically, a usage method of an energy-absorbing and buffering type damper for steel bridge shock absorption includes the following steps:

[0028] S1. Install the damping rod one 13, the cable shock-absorbing mechanism, and the buffer assembly on the steel bridge;

[0029] S2. When the bridge deck 21 is subjected to vibration, the damping rod one 13 undergoes damping movement;

[0030] S3. At the same time, the damping block 17 moves linearly back and forth along the guide rod 16 inside the buffer cavity 15 along with the movement of the bridge deck 21. During the movement, the damping rod two 18 performs damping telescoping, and the energy-absorbing spring 19 performs adaptive telescoping. The damping block 17 drives the connecting rod 11 to rotate during the movement, the connecting rod 11 drives the rotating pin 5 to rotate, the rotating pin 5 drives the bottom bolt seat 6 to deflect, and the deflection of the bottom bolt seat 6 causes the bottom end of the steel cable 7 to move, converting the dynamic load of the bridge deck 21 into the dynamic loads of the damping block 17, the damping rod two 18, and the energy-absorbing spring 19.

[0031] In summary, for the energy-absorbing and buffering damper for steel bridge shock absorption and its usage method provided in this embodiment, when the bridge deck 21 is vibrated, the vibration of the bridge deck 21 is transmitted to the first damping rod 13, causing the first damping rod 13 to perform damping telescopic movement, reducing the influence of the vibration on the bridge deck 21. Meanwhile, the damping block 17 moves linearly and reciprocally along the guide rod 16 inside the buffer cavity 15 along with the movement of the bridge deck 21. During the movement, the second damping rod 18 performs damping telescopic movement, and the energy-absorbing spring 19 performs adaptive telescopic movement. The damping block 17 drives the connecting rod 11 to rotate during the movement, the connecting rod 11 drives the rotating pin 5 to rotate, the rotating pin 5 drives the bottom bolt seat 6 to deflect, and the deflection of the bottom bolt seat 6 causes the bottom end of the steel cable 7 to move, converting the dynamic load of the bridge deck 21 into the dynamic loads of the damping block 17, the second damping rod 18, and the energy-absorbing spring 19, enabling the steel bridge to have a good shock absorption and buffering effect.
