[0029] This invention provides a bridge vibration damping bearing 10, such as... Figs. 1 to 3As shown, the system includes a base 11, with two abutment blocks 111 on each side of the base 11 along the longitudinal direction, and the two abutment blocks 111 are spaced apart from each other along the transverse direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two abutment blocks 111 on one side of the base 11 along the longitudinal direction and the two abutment blocks 111 on the other side are arranged around the base 11. A lower base plate 12 is provided on the base 11, and speed lockers 14 are connected to both sides of the lower base plate 12 along the longitudinal direction. In this configuration, the speed lock 14 allows the structure to deform freely at low speeds. When the instantaneous speed increases to the preset speed of the speed lock 14, the damping force of the speed lock 14 increases sharply, causing the structure to form a rigid connection to lock it. Since the speed lock 14 is prior art, it will not be described in detail here, but it is easy to understand. Because the speed lock 14 is connected to the lower seat plate 12, when the moving speed of the lower seat plate 12 is less than the preset speed of the speed lock 14, the lower seat plate and the speed lock 14 can move freely. When the moving speed of the lower seat plate 12 is greater than the preset speed of the speed lock 14, the lower seat plate and the speed lock 14 form a rigid connection, so that the lower seat plate and the speed lock 14 are relatively stationary. Furthermore, the speed lock 14 is connected to the two abutment blocks 111 by springs 17, and the springs 17 are in an elastic deformation state. Specifically, two abutment blocks 111 are located on both sides of the speed lock 14, with the speed lock 14 and the two abutment blocks 111 aligned in a straight line. Two springs 17 are provided, one on each side of the speed lock 14 and the other between the two abutment blocks 111. Further, an upper seat plate 13 is provided on the side of the lower seat plate 12 facing away from the base 11. The upper seat plate 13 supports the bridge, and the upper seat plate 13 is connected to the lower seat plate 12 by a buffer pad 16. Specifically, the buffer pad 16 is made of rubber. Rubber has both good cushioning and wear resistance, meeting the long-term use requirements of the bridge vibration damping bearing 10. Furthermore, since rubber is readily available, this reduces the manufacturing cost of the bridge vibration damping bearing 10. The buffer pad 16 is cylindrical, which allows it to buffer impacts from all directions, ensuring a good vibration damping effect. Furthermore, an elastic element 15 is provided between the upper seat plate 13 and the speed latch. The middle part of the elastic element 15 is connected to the speed lock 14, and both ends of the elastic element 15 are connected to the upper seat plate 13. Multiple buffer gaps 151 are provided between the two ends and the middle of the elastic element 15. The multiple buffer gaps 151 are arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, and the buffer gaps 151 form an opening 152 from one side of the elastic element 15. It is easy to understand that since the elastic element 15 has multiple buffer gaps 151 in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, it can provide space for the elastic element 15 to elastically deform, so that the elastic element 15 can elastically deform in the longitudinal direction to offset the external force. The opening 152 formed by the buffer gaps 151 allows the elastic element 15 to deform in the transverse direction of the bridge to offset the external force.
[0030] In this embodiment, since the spring 17 is initially in an elastic deformation state, both springs 17 on both sides of the speed lock 14 apply elastic force to the speed lock 14. In actual use, when the bridge displaces due to temperature changes, the bridge displacement is small. The bridge moves the lower seat plate 12 and the upper seat plate 13 together. Since there is friction between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11, and the springs 17 initially apply elastic force to both sides of the speed lock 14, the bridge vibration damping support 10 can offset the bridge load and release the bridge temperature displacement. When a train passes over the bridge, the bridge displacement exceeds a certain limit. The bridge causes the lower seat plate 12 and the upper seat plate 13 to move together. At this time, the moving speed of the lower seat plate 12 is less than the preset speed of the speed lock device 14. The speed lock device 14 moves under the action of the lower seat plate 12. The spring 17 further deforms elastically from its initial state under the action of the speed lock device 14 to offset the bridge load and limit the excessive displacement of the bridge. At the same time, after the train leaves, the spring 17 can return to its initial state so that the bridge vibration damping support 10 can be reset. When the bridge encounters strong winds or earthquakes, the lower seat plate 12 and the upper seat plate 13 undergo relative displacement. At this time, the speed of the lower seat plate 12 is greater than the preset speed of the speed lock device 14. The speed lock device 14 forms a rigid connection with the lower seat plate 12, keeping the lower seat plate 12 and the speed lock device 14 relatively stationary. Since the middle part of the elastic member 15 is connected to the speed lock device 14, the middle part of the elastic member 15 is kept relatively stationary. The two ends of the elastic member 15 are connected to the upper seat plate 13, and the two ends of the elastic member 15 move relative to the middle part of the elastic member 15. Since the two ends of the elastic member 15 and the middle part of the elastic member 15 are provided with multiple buffer intervals and the buffer intervals form an opening 152 from one side of the elastic member 15, the elastic member 15 can undergo elastic deformation in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the bridge under the action of the upper seat plate 13 to offset the bridge load. At the same time, the buffer pad 16 provided between the upper seat plate 13 and the lower seat plate 12 can also undergo elastic deformation in the longitudinal or transverse direction of the bridge to offset the bridge load.
[0031] In one embodiment, the elastic element 15 is wavy. The advantage of this design is that the elastic element 15 has openings 152 formed by buffer gaps 151 on both sides. In this way, when the bridge is displaced by strong winds and earthquakes, the two sides of the elastic element 15 can deform, thus adapting to the load in the transverse direction of the upper seat plate 13 and improving the vibration reduction effect.
[0032] Furthermore, the elastic element 15 is made of an alloy material. It is easy to understand that because alloys have excellent corrosion resistance, they can prevent corrosion in humid environments such as rivers. At the same time, because alloys have good ductility, this can improve the service life of the elastic element 15 and prevent damage to the elastic element 15 after elastic deformation.
[0033] In one embodiment, the elastic element 15 has an anchor hole 153 in the middle, and the speed lock 14 has a protrusion 141. The middle part of the elastic element 15 and the speed lock 14 are connected to the protrusion 141 through the anchor hole 153. The advantage of this arrangement is that it facilitates the connection between the elastic element 15 and the speed lock 14. In actual use, it is only necessary to align the protrusion 141 on the speed lock 14 with the anchor hole 153 on the elastic element 15, and then insert the protrusion 141 into the anchor hole 153 to achieve the connection. At the same time, after the protrusion 141 is inserted into the anchor hole 153, the anchor hole 153 can limit the position of the protrusion 141, and the inner wall of the anchor hole 153 can fit against the outer periphery of the protrusion 141 to ensure the stability of the connection.
[0034] Furthermore, the elastic element 15 has pins 154 at both ends, and the upper seat plate 13 has recesses 131. The elastic element 15 and the upper seat plate 13 are connected to the pins 154 through the recesses 131. The advantage of this arrangement is that it facilitates the connection between the elastic element 15 and the upper seat plate 13. In actual use, simply align the recesses 131 on the upper seat plate 13 with the pins 154 at both ends of the elastic element 15, and then insert the pins 154 into the recesses 131 to achieve the connection. After the pins 154 are inserted into the recesses 131, the inner wall of the recesses 131 can fit against the outer circumference of the pins 154 to ensure the stability of the connection. In addition, since the pins 154 are inserted into the recesses 131, the two ends of the elastic element 15 can be limited when moving in both the longitudinal and transverse directions of the bridge.
[0035] Furthermore, the height of the speed lock 14 is higher than the height of the abutment block 111. The advantage of this arrangement is that it allows for a height gap between the two ends of the elastic member 15 and the abutment block 111. This prevents friction between the two ends of the elastic member 15 and the abutment block 111 from affecting the movement of the two ends of the elastic member 15 when the two ends of the elastic member 15 move relative to the middle of the elastic member 15.
[0036] In one embodiment, the lower seat plate 12 has protrusions 121 on both sides along the bridge direction, and the speed lock 14 has two mating blocks 142 protruding on the side near the lower seat plate 12. The two mating blocks 142 are spaced apart, and the distance between them is greater than the length of the protrusions 121. It is understood that because the distance between the two mating blocks 142 is greater than the length of the protrusions 121, the lower seat plate 12 and the speed lock 14 can be connected by inserting the protrusions 121 into the two mating blocks 142. Furthermore, since the speed lock 14 is a single component, using mating blocks 142 on the outer wall of the speed lock 14 to achieve connection, compared to using connecting holes or connecting grooves, ensures the structural integrity of the speed lock 14. Specifically, in this embodiment, the two mating blocks 142 are welded to the speed lock 14. In addition, because the speed lock 14 has protruding mating blocks 142, there is a gap between the lower seat plate 12 and the abutment blocks 111 on both sides along the bridge direction, preventing the lower seat plate 12 from contacting the abutment blocks 111 when moving.
[0037] In one embodiment, the contact surface between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11 is configured as a friction surface. Optionally, the side of the lower seat plate 12 closest to the base 11 can be configured as a friction surface, or the side of the base 11 closest to the lower seat plate 12 can be configured as a friction surface, or both the side of the lower seat plate 12 closest to the base 11 and the side of the base 11 closest to the lower seat plate 12 can be configured as friction surfaces. Specifically, a friction surface can be formed by providing patterns or protrusions on the contact surface between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11. It is easy to understand that the advantage of setting a friction surface is that it can increase the coefficient of friction between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11, thereby increasing the frictional force between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11 to counteract the bridge load and release the bridge temperature displacement.
[0038] In one embodiment, one of the base 11 and the lower base plate 12 is provided with a groove 122 extending along the bridge direction, and the other is provided with a protrusion 112 extending along the bridge direction. The base 11 and the lower base plate 12 are connected by the groove 122 and the protrusion 112. It can be understood that the groove 122 and the protrusion 112 can ensure that the lower base plate 12 moves along the bridge direction when it moves, so as to ensure the direction of movement. Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 11 is provided with a protrusion 112 extending along the bridge direction, and the lower base plate 12 is provided with a groove 122 extending along the bridge direction. The lower base plate 12 is engaged with the protrusion 112 of the base 11 by the groove 122.
[0039] In one embodiment, a connecting rod 18 is provided between the speed lock 14 and the two abutment blocks 111, and the spring 17 is sleeved in the connecting rod 18. It can be understood that the connecting rod 18 can provide guidance for the spring 17, so as to force the spring 17 to deform only in the direction of the bridge, and at the same time, it can prevent the spring 17 from deforming in other degrees of freedom, thereby improving the vibration reduction effect.
[0040] Furthermore, the spring 17 is in a compressed deformation state. It is easy to understand that setting the initial state of the spring 17 to a compressed deformation state, compared to setting it to a stretched deformation state, allows the spring 17 to transmit the elastic force to the speed lock 14 without needing to be connected to both the speed lock 14 and the abutment block 111. On the other hand, since the spring 17 is compressed and deformed, it becomes shorter, which means that the base 11 does not need to be large, thereby saving manufacturing costs.
[0041] The bridge vibration damping bearing 10 of this invention utilizes compressed springs 17 on both sides of a speed lock 14 to apply elastic force to both sides of the speed lock 14, and a friction surface is provided between the lower seat plate 12 and the base 11. When the bridge shifts due to temperature changes, the elastic force and friction counteract the bridge load. When the bridge shifts due to train movement, the springs 17 on both sides of the speed lock 14 undergo elastic deformation to counteract the bridge load. After the train departs, the springs 17 elastically reset, thereby causing the lower seat plate 12 to reset. When the bridge shifts due to an earthquake, the springs 17 elastically return to their original position. The speed lock 14 keeps the lower seat plate 12 stationary and connects the middle part of the elastic element 15 to the speed lock 14, ensuring that the middle part of the elastic element 15 remains stationary. The two ends of the elastic element 15 are connected to the upper seat plate 13. Since the upper seat plate 13 moves relative to the lower seat plate 12 and there is a buffer gap 151 in the elastic element 15, the elastic element 15 undergoes elastic deformation to offset the bridge load. In addition, the buffer pad 16 between the upper seat plate 13 and the lower seat plate 12 can also elastically deform to offset the bridge load. The bridge vibration damping bearing 10 of this application can adapt to different usage conditions, has strong applicability, and has the advantages of good vibration damping effect.
