The horizontal roller is located in the horizontal middle position of the end vertical connecting plate 7, and a limit platform 11 with a semicircular cross-section is provided on the inner side surface of the track plate 9 opposite to the horizontal roller 10. The horizontal roller 10 is abutted against the limit platform 11 and the axis of the horizontal roller 10 is at the same height as the axis of the limit platform 11.
[0024] In implementation, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 A first boss 12 is arranged between the bottom surface of the upper connecting plate 1 and the top surface of the lower connecting plate 2. The diameter of the first boss 12 is adapted to the inner diameter of the vertical coil spring 4. The vertical coil spring 4 is clamped between the two first bosses 12 opposite to each other.
[0025] The upper connecting plate 1 and the lower connecting plate 2 can be rectangular plates, and the vertical telescopic guide rod 3 is arranged between the four corners of the upper connecting plate 1 and the lower connecting plate 2; specifically, guide rod mounting holes 13 can be opened on the upper connecting plate 1 and the lower connecting plate 2 near the four corners, and the vertical sleeve in the vertical telescopic guide rod 3 is installed at the guide rod mounting hole 13 of the lower connecting plate 2 by bolts, and the vertical guide rod in the vertical telescopic guide rod 3 is installed at the guide rod mounting hole 13 of the upper connecting plate 1 by bolts; the vertical guide rod is inserted into the vertical sleeve and the two slide together.
[0026] A connecting plate mounting hole 14 can be opened in the middle position of the upper connecting plate 1, and a threaded blind hole is correspondingly provided on the top of the middle vertical connecting plate 5 and is installed at the connecting plate mounting hole 14 by bolts; a track plate mounting hole 15 is provided on the lower connecting plate, and the track plate 9 is installed at the track plate mounting hole 15 by bolts.
[0027] In implementation, see Figure 5 and Figure 6 , second bosses 16 are provided on both side surfaces of the middle vertical connecting plate 5, and second bosses 16 are provided on the side opposite to the end vertical connecting plate 7 and the middle vertical connecting plate 5. The diameter of the second boss 16 is adapted to the inner diameter of the horizontal coil spring, and the horizontal coil spring 8 is clamped between the two opposite second bosses 16; during the manufacturing process, the horizontal coil spring 8 is pre-compressed between the middle vertical connecting plate 5 and the end vertical connecting plate 7 through the second boss 16, and the horizontal limit rod 6 ensures the telescopic movement of the horizontal coil spring 8 in the horizontal direction. In the initial state, the horizontal roller The axis of 10 is at the same height as the axis of the limit platform 11, and there is no vertical component of force between the two. When the lower connecting plate 2 moves upward from the initial position, the compression of the horizontal coil spring 8 decreases, the elastic restoring force decreases, and the track plate 9 provides a downward vertical component of force to the horizontal roller 10 through the limit platform 11; when the lower connecting plate 2 moves downward from the initial position, the compression of the horizontal coil spring 8 decreases, the elastic restoring force decreases, and the corresponding track plate 9 provides an upward vertical component of force to the horizontal roller 10 through the limit platform 11, realizing the load-displacement relationship of the negative stiffness principle.

When the lower connecting plate 2 moves upward or downward, the positive stiffness structure and the negative stiffness structure jointly bear the load, that is, the stiffness of the support changes during vibration, which effectively reduces the vertical equivalent stiffness of the support, and the support has the characteristics of high static stiffness and low dynamic stiffness, which is conducive to low-frequency seismic isolation.
