Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of building engineering structures, and in particular to a shock-absorbing column with a particle damper. Background Art

[0002] While the rapid development of railway transportation systems in recent years has brought convenience to society, the environmental vibration generated by train operation has had a significant negative impact on nearby buildings. Vibration has been internationally classified as one of the seven major environmental hazards. Therefore, to ensure the safety of engineering structures and their compatibility with architectural, environmental, and operational requirements, structural vibration control technology has become one of the best options as a safe, economical, and effective measure.

[0003] Particle damping technology utilizes friction and impact between tiny particles within a confined, enclosed space within a vibrating body to dissipate system vibration energy. This technology offers advantages such as excellent durability, high reliability, insensitivity to temperature fluctuations, and ease of use in harsh environments. However, the stacked particles within traditional particle dampers restrict their mobility, and collisions between particles and the cavity are mostly elastic, limiting their energy dissipation. Furthermore, traditional particle dampers struggle to meet the demands of varying vibration amplitudes, and dynamic vibration absorption technology also suffers from a narrow frequency band. To improve the damping performance of traditional particle dampers, domestic researchers have proposed a variety of particle dampers, including the composite magnetorheological fluid particle damper (CN108547496B), which addresses shortcomings such as time lag and high noise levels; the variable-stiffness electromagnetic particle damper (CN109577726B), which maximizes damping efficiency; and the particle damper with a built-in obstacle network (CN114607720A), which enables multi-directional vibration damping. However, the spectrum of the vibration caused by the train transmitted to the structural floor is mainly low-frequency vibration between 1 and 20 Hz, and the above-mentioned particle damper vibration reduction technology still cannot completely solve the problem of controlling the vertical vibration of the structure caused by the train. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Purpose of the invention: The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shock-absorbing column with a particle damper that can multiple-mitigate the vibration energy of a controlled column component to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0009] Furthermore, the energy dissipation layer is connected to the inner wall of the second supporting steel plate through an adhesive.

[0010] Furthermore, the damping particles are spheres of uniform size.

[0011] Furthermore, the filling rate of the damping particles in the buffer space is between 40% and 85%.

[0012] Furthermore, the controlled column is a steel column, a concrete column or a steel-concrete composite column.

[0013] Furthermore, a plurality of particle dampers may be arranged in the vertical direction on the side of the controlled column.

[0014] Furthermore, a plurality of reserved holes are provided on the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the controlled column by bolts.

[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0027] A shock absorbing column with a particle damper according to the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes a controlled column 1, a particle damper 2, and a supporting mechanism 3. The controlled column 1 is a steel-concrete composite column. The supporting mechanism 3 is fixedly connected to the controlled column 1. The bottom of the particle damper 2 is connected to the supporting mechanism 3 through a spring 4. The particle damper 2 is a sealed body, including an outer plate 21, an inner plate 22, a front end plate 23 and a rear end plate. The outer plate 21, the inner plate 22, the front end plate 23 and the rear end plate divide the particle damper 2 into a sealed cavity 25 and an interlayer 26. The sealed cavity 25 is filled with liquid. A plurality of partitions 261 are provided in the interlayer 26. The partitions 261 divide the interlayer 26 into a plurality of buffer spaces filled with damping particles 262.

[0028] like Figure 2-3 As shown, the supporting mechanism 3 includes a steel support 31 and a supporting steel plate 32. The steel support 31 is a welded integral steel member, including a bottom plate 311, a side plate 312 and a connecting plate 313; the supporting steel plate 32 includes a first supporting steel plate 321 and a second supporting steel plate 322; the first supporting steel plate 321 is arranged in pairs and is welded to the side plate 312 and the connecting plate 313 to form a whole, and the second supporting steel plate 322 is welded to the first supporting steel plate 321 to form a whole, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 As shown; a plurality of reserved holes 3131 are provided on the connecting plate 313, and the connecting plate 313 is fixedly connected to the controlled column 1 by bolts.

[0029] like Figure 5-7As shown, the particle damper 2 is a sealed structure comprising an outer plate 21, an inner plate 22, a front plate 23, and a rear plate. These plates divide the particle damper 2 into a sealed chamber 25 and an interlayer 26. The sealed chamber 25 is filled with liquid. Within the interlayer 26 are several partitions 261, which divide the interlayer 26 into several buffer spaces filled with damping particles 262. The filling rate of the damping particles 262 in the buffer spaces is 40%-85%. A liquid partition 253 is located in the middle of the particle damper 2, dividing the sealed chamber 25 into a first chamber 251 and a second chamber 252. The first and second chambers 251, 252 each contain a different liquid with significantly different densities. An energy dissipation layer 5 is located between the support mechanism 3 and the particle damper 2. The energy dissipation layer 5 is fixedly attached to the inner wall of the support mechanism 3 via adhesive.

[0030] When the controlled column 1 vibrates, the liquid in the first cavity 251 and the second cavity 252 in the particle damper 2 shakes, so that the two liquids with different densities can cause the first cavity 251 and the second cavity 252 to generate inertial force and rotate under the action of vibration, thereby driving the damping particles 262 to generate collision friction energy consumption in the buffer space. At the same time, the particle damper 2 is connected to the supporting mechanism 3 through the spring 4. The particle damper 2 utilizes the restoring force of the spring to continuously and repeatedly rub against the energy consumption layer 5 during the rotation process to consume energy, further absorbing the vertical vibration energy of the controlled column 1, multiple-times releasing the vibration energy of the controlled column, and improving the safety of the structure.
