Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a support, and more particularly to a bottom self-resetting friction energy dissipation support suitable for fish-belly type supports, belonging to the field of dome structure technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of modern building technology, dome structures have been widely used in large-scale building projects such as stadiums, exhibition centers, and conference centers. However, traditional dome structures and supports are usually rigidly connected, making the upper and lower supports of the dome structure a complete unit. While this design can provide a certain degree of strength and stability, it also limits the degree of freedom of the structure.

[0003] In particular, rigidly connected dome structures face certain challenges during natural disasters such as earthquakes. Traditional rigid connections cannot effectively absorb and disperse seismic loads, leading to increased structural vibration and deformation, which may result in structural failure.

[0004] To overcome these problems, the field of architectural engineering has been continuously exploring and introducing new structural design concepts and technologies in recent years. One of these is the use of flexible connections and seismic isolation bearing technology. Flexible connections can make the upper and lower supports of the dome structure relatively independent, removing the limitations of the original rigid connections and giving the structure greater freedom. Seismic isolation bearing technology can sever the rigid connection between the structure and the foundation, thereby reducing the transmission of seismic loads and improving the seismic resistance of the dome structure.

[0005] For the impact of seismic loads on dome structures, seismic isolation bearing technology is an effective seismic vibration reduction measure. Dome structures often have characteristics such as large spans, lightweight, and curved shapes, making them face significant challenges during earthquakes. Seismic isolation bearing technology, by installing seismic isolation bearings between the structure and the foundation, seizes the rigid connection between the structure and the foundation, reducing the transmission of seismic loads to the structure.

[0006] Several issues currently exist regarding seismic isolation bearings for dome structures, including poor assemblability, which increases construction difficulty. Furthermore, the costs of subsequent maintenance and repair are high. Additionally, the safety and effectiveness of these bearings are difficult to guarantee. Therefore, in practical applications, these factors need to be fully considered, and solutions need to be found to improve the assemblability of seismic isolation bearings, reduce maintenance costs, and ensure their safety and effectiveness. This may include optimized design, improved materials and processes, and enhanced monitoring and evaluation measures. Through continuous research and development, the performance and reliability of seismic isolation bearings for dome structures can be further improved. Summary of the Invention

[0016] The self-resetting assembly consists of a stacked disc spring and a limiting rod.

A recessed first spherical groove 11 is provided at the center of the top of the cast steel pad 1.

[0033] A friction plate 7 is provided between the cast steel pad 1 and the top plate 21 of the second connecting device 2. The cast steel pad 1 and the second connecting device 2 are connected by a number of first high-strength bolt pairs 8. The cast steel pad 1 is square. The first spherical groove 11 of the cast steel pad 1 is connected to the upper fish belly support 10 by equal strength butt welding. The upper fish belly support 10 is welded to the first spherical groove 11 through a sphere.

[0034] The top plate 21 of the second connecting device 2 is square, and the side length of the top plate 21 of the second connecting device 2 is the same as the side length of the cast steel pad 1. The first high-strength bolt pair 8 is located on the inner side of the second side plate 22. There are four second side plates 22 below the top plate 21. The second side plates 22 are located on the inner side of the first side plate 52. Limiting rod holes are provided on the two opposing first side plates 52 and the two opposing second side plates 22.

[0035] The base plate 51 of the first connecting device 5 is square, and the first side plate 52 above the base plate 51 consists of four pieces. One end of the threaded rod 9 that fixes the first connecting device 5 to the concrete below the first connecting device 5 is provided on the base plate 51 outside the first side plate 52. The other end of the threaded rod 9 is built into the precast concrete 12.

[0036] A friction plate 7 is provided between the base plate 51 and the second component 4.

[0037] The second component 4 is inverted T-shaped, and the top center of the second component 4 is a recessed second spherical groove 31.

[0038] The radius of the second spherical groove 31 is greater than the radius of the first spherical groove 11.

[0039] A friction plate 7 is provided between the top surface of the first component 3 and the bottom of the top plate 21 of the second connecting device 2, and an arc-shaped friction plate 7 is provided between the bottom surface of the first component 3 and the second spherical groove 31 of the second component 4.

[0042] The friction plate is made of SMA metal.

[0043] Working principle of the invention:

[0044] First, the first connecting device 5 needs to be connected to the built-in threaded rod of the precast concrete. Then, the second side plate 22, the first side plate 52, the stacked disc spring 62, and the second component 4 are connected by a limiting rod. Next, the cast steel pad is connected to the second connecting component by a high-strength bolt pair, and the cast steel pad 1 is welded to the fish-belly-shaped support with equal strength. In the dome structure, friction plates are built into each component. During an earthquake, sliding energy dissipates between the components. At the same time, due to the presence of the self-resetting group 6, after an earthquake, the self-resetting bottom friction energy dissipation seismic isolation spherical bearing will restore each fish-belly-shaped support to its state before the earthquake. All components are connected by bolts, which facilitates installation and disassembly in the project, reduces construction difficulty, and simplifies the construction process. At the same time, the self-resetting bottom friction energy dissipation seismic isolation spherical bearing improves the overall strength, stability, and reliability of the dome structure.

[0045] Under seismic loads, the fish-belly braced components undergo lateral movement, compressing the disc springs on one side and storing energy during this process. After the earthquake, the disc springs release the stored energy and, together with other supports, restore the entire structure to its original state. This method effectively mitigates earthquake damage to fish-belly braced dome structures and improves their seismic resistance.
