[0026] The top of the upper cap plate 31 is provided with a key 311, the setting of the key 311 will increase the friction force between the top concrete slab 1 and the sliding bearing system 3.

[0027] The cylinder body includes upper concave plate 32, middle cylinder body 36 and lower cylinder body 37 connected by bolts from top to bottom, upper concave plate 32 is connected with upper cover cap plate 31 through pre-press spring 33, lower cylinder body 37 slides relative to bottom connecting steel plate 310, the side of middle cylinder body 36 is connected with elastic member.

[0028] The bottom of lower cylinder body 37 is provided with recess, the recess is provided with horizontal polytetrafluoroethylene plate 38, stainless steel mirror plate 39 is arranged on bottom connecting steel plate 310, and the two can slide relative to each other.

[0029] The outer peripheral wall of upper concave plate 32 is provided with annular polytetrafluoroethylene plate 34, which is beneficial to the separation of upper cover cap plate 31 and upper concave plate 32.

[0030] The elastic member includes horizontal spring 4 and spring mounting base 5, spring mounting base 5 is arranged on bottom concrete plate 6 between two sliding support systems 3, horizontal spring 4 is arranged between spring mounting base 5 and sliding support system 3, which can effectively limit the sliding of lower cylinder body 37 relative to bottom connecting steel plate 310.

[0031] The horizontal isolation rubber bearing system 2 comprises an upper connecting plate 21, an isolation rubber bearing 22 and a lower connecting plate 23, wherein the isolation rubber bearing 22 is any one of a natural isolation rubber bearing, a high-damping isolation rubber bearing or a lead-core isolation rubber bearing. During installation, the upper connecting plate 21 is first bolted to the top of the isolation rubber bearing 22, and the lower connecting plate 23 is bolted to the bottom of the isolation rubber bearing 22, to form the horizontal isolation rubber bearing system 2. Then, the upper connecting plate 21 in the horizontal isolation rubber bearing system 2 is connected to the top concrete slab 1, and the lower connecting plate 23 in the horizontal isolation rubber bearing system 2 is connected to the bottom concrete slab 6. Before the overall sliding system is installed, the sliding bearing system 3 is first assembled. The stainless steel mirror plate 39 is first welded around the periphery and connected to the bottom connecting steel plate 310, and then the bottom connecting steel plate 310 is bolted to the bottom concrete slab 6. The top surface of the horizontal polytetrafluoroethylene plate 38 is embedded in the recess at the bottom of the lower cylinder 37 of the sliding bearing system 3, and the bottom surface of the horizontal polytetrafluoroethylene plate 38 is in close contact with the stainless steel mirror plate 39. The lower cylinder 37 is vertically connected to the middle cylinder 36 by bolts. The top of the middle cylinder 36 and the upper concave plate 32 are bolted together.
