DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The technical solutions of the present application are further described below through the drawings and examples.

[0027] In combination Figures 1 to 7 , the present application provides a kind of energy dissipation device that can resist the impact of debris rolling stone, including by inner to outer sequentially set in bridge pier column 7 outer side's inner cylinder 1, intermediate cylinder 2 and outer cylinder 3, the outer side of the outer cylinder 3 is equipped with anti-collision unit, the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 3 is equipped with rubber air spring 5, the inner cavity of the intermediate cylinder 2 is equipped with damping alloy energy dissipation structure 6, the inner cavity of the inner cylinder 1 is filled with concrete 11, the outer cylinder 3 includes multiple ring-shaped steel sleeve 31 along the height direction of bridge pier column and is spliced, the anti-collision unit includes multiple anti-collision blocks 4 that are evenly distributed along the circumference of the ring-shaped steel sleeve 31.

[0028] In the embodiment, the anti-collision block 4 includes horizontal connecting part 41 and arc-shaped energy dissipation part 42, one end of the horizontal connecting part 41 is fixedly connected with the outer side of the ring-shaped steel sleeve 31, and the arc-shaped energy dissipation part 42 is fixedly arranged at one end of the horizontal connecting part 41 away from the ring-shaped steel sleeve 31. The anti-collision block 4 with arc-shaped structure is arranged on the outer side of the outer cylinder 3, and when the rolling stone falls and impacts the anti-collision block 4, the arc-shaped energy dissipation part 42 can change the direction of the rolling stone, and the impact resistance effect is better.

[0029] Preferably, the outer cylinder 3 further comprises a mounting base 32 fixed on the bridge bearing platform, adjacent annular steel sleeves 31 are fixed and connected in height direction by fastening bolts to form a steel sleeve unit, a plurality of rolling balls 33 are installed on the upper surface of the mounting base 32, and the bottom of the steel sleeve unit is provided with grooves matched with the rolling balls 33.

[0030] In the embodiment, the bottom of the inner cylinder 1 and the intermediate cylinder 2 is fixed on the top surface of the bridge bearing platform, the inner cylinder 1 is fixed on the outer surface of the bridge pier column by implanting expansion bolts, the intermediate cylinder 2 is connected to the outer surface of the inner cylinder 1 by steel adhesive, the mounting base 32 is connected to the outer surface of the intermediate cylinder 2 by steel adhesive, the bottom of the mounting base 32 is fixed on the top surface of the bridge bearing platform by fastening bolts, and the steel sleeve unit is rotatably sleeved and connected to the outer surface of the intermediate cylinder 2.

[0031] In the embodiment, the annular steel sleeve 31 comprises a plurality of arc-shaped blocks, the arc-shaped blocks are mutually spliced in the circumferential direction, and adjacent arc-shaped blocks are fixed and connected to each other by fastening bolts, so as to facilitate disassembly and installation.

[0032] In the embodiment, the outer surface of the mounting base 32 is also provided with an anti-collision unit (not shown in the figure). When the rolling stone falls and impacts the anti-collision block 4, the impact force is transmitted to the steel sleeve unit, and since the steel sleeve unit is connected to the mounting base 32 by the rolling balls 33, the steel sleeve unit can rotate at a certain angle when impacted, which is more easy to unload force, avoids direct impact, and since the steel sleeve unit is spliced by a plurality of annular steel sleeves 31, the annular steel sleeves 31 can be replaced individually when damaged, avoiding the waste of manpower and material resources caused by disassembling the entire outer cylinder 3.

[0033] Preferably, a plurality of rubber air springs 5 are distributed in the circumferential direction of the inner cavity of the outer cylinder 3, and the gap between adjacent rubber air springs is filled with energy-absorbing material 51.

[0034] In the embodiment, the rubber air spring has a nonlinear characteristic, which can play a role in energy dissipation and impact force reduction, and the energy-absorbing material is one or more of polyurethane foam, polyurethane elastomer, polystyrene foam, PVC foam, PMI foam, and polyimide foam. The rubber air spring combined with the energy-absorbing material is used for energy dissipation, and even if the rubber air spring is temporarily disabled after being impacted, it can be restored to use after being inflated and pressed without being completely damaged, and one rubber air spring can be replaced individually.

[0035] Preferably, the intermediate cylinder 2 adopts a metal grid frame structure. When the rolling stone falls and impacts the anti-collision block 4 and the outer cylinder 3, the impact force is transmitted to the intermediate cylinder 2, and the damping alloy energy dissipation structure 6 in the inner cavity of the intermediate cylinder 2 performs shock absorption and energy dissipation.

[0036] In the embodiment, the damping alloy energy dissipation structure 6 comprises a plurality of damping alloy energy dissipation units distributed circumferentially along the inner cavity of the intermediate cylinder body 2, the damping alloy energy dissipation units comprising an alloy shock absorber 61 and a steel wire rope shock absorber 62, the alloy shock absorber 61 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the intermediate cylinder body 2 near the inner cylinder body 1, and the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 being installed inside the alloy shock absorber 61.

[0037] The alloy shock absorber 61 is made of high-manganese-based damping alloy material, and comprises an arc-shaped mounting portion 63, an arc-shaped connecting portion 64 and a shock-absorbing portion 65, one end of the arc-shaped mounting portion 63 being attached to the inner wall of the intermediate cylinder body 2, the shock-absorbing portion 65 being connected to the other end of the arc-shaped mounting portion 63 through the arc-shaped connecting portion 64, and one end of the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 being fixedly connected to the shock-absorbing portion 65 near the outer cylinder body 3, and the other end of the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 having a gap with the arc-shaped mounting portion 63.

[0038] The alloy shock absorber 61 made of high-manganese-based damping alloy material has a greatly increased support stiffness, and can better play a role in shock absorption and energy dissipation. The combination of the alloy shock absorber 61 and the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 further improves the energy dissipation effect and service life. When the impact force is not large, the deformation of the alloy shock absorber 61 after being impacted does not exceed a threshold value, and the alloy shock absorber 61 can work alone to absorb shock without using the steel wire rope shock absorber 62. When the deformation of the alloy shock absorber 61 is too large, the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 is in contact with the arc-shaped mounting portion 63, and at this time the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 absorbs shock and dissipates energy. The combination of the two has a better use effect. Even if the steel wire rope shock absorber 62 temporarily fails, it can be restored to use after correction, has a long service life, strong resistance to damage, and the like, and can be replaced alone.

[0039] In the embodiment, the inner cylinder body 1 adopts a spliced steel sleeve structure, and the rigid structure filled with concrete in the inner cavity thereof serves as the last layer of protection for the bridge pier column, has high hardness and great strength, and can well protect the bridge pier column.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the technical scope of the present application in any way. Any slight modification, equivalent change and modification made according to the technical essence of the present application to the above embodiment still falls within the scope of the technical solution of the present application.
