Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge vibration reduction technology, and more specifically, relates to a hybrid anti-fall beam device and its usage method. Background Technology

[0002] In my country's highway bridge system, small and medium-span bridges account for a considerable proportion. However, these bridges are particularly vulnerable to natural disasters such as earthquakes, and the phenomenon of beam collapse is especially prominent. Once a beam collapses, the beam end impacts the pier or abutment, which may not only cause damage to the local structure but may even lead to the collapse of the entire bridge, resulting in huge economic losses and social impact.

[0003] Therefore, developing effective anti-falling beam devices is crucial for improving the safety and reliability of bridge structures. Based on their working principles, anti-falling beam devices are mainly divided into two categories: limiting devices and damping limiting devices. Limiting devices, such as cable or steel bar limiters, are renowned for their high strength and powerful anti-falling beam capabilities, effectively preventing bridge beams from falling during earthquakes and ensuring the integrity of the bridge structure. Damping limiting devices, such as friction dampers, dissipate seismic energy through friction, effectively suppressing the bridge's vibration response. They are favored for their high energy dissipation capacity, stable performance, and low cost. Besides single-function devices, there are also hybrid devices that combine limiting and damping functions. These devices not only effectively prevent the bridge superstructure from falling but also excel in energy dissipation efficiency and anti-falling beam capabilities, providing more comprehensive protection for the seismic safety of bridges.

[0004] However, in practical engineering applications, the existing anti-fall beam devices still have the following problems: (1) Limiting devices, including cable or steel bar limiters, although used in bridge structures in many countries and regions, often only use their elastic properties to prevent beams from falling, and they do not have the function of dissipating energy; (2) Damping limiting devices, including friction damping limiting devices, although they have good energy dissipation capabilities, have a small ultimate bearing capacity and weak anti-fall beam function. At the same time, the traditional friction damper structure is difficult to combine with the limiting device and is not easy to apply to bridge anti-fall beam scenarios; (3) The existing hybrid limiting devices are relatively complex in design, have high manufacturing costs, are prone to failure, and have high maintenance costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned deficiencies or improvement needs of existing technologies, this invention provides a hybrid anti-falling beam device and its usage method. The limiting component and the energy-dissipating component are positioned at appropriate locations on the bridge via the first and second connecting members. Simultaneously, during minor or medium-level earthquakes, the first and second connecting members move relative to each other, causing relative rotation of the internal components of the energy-dissipating component. Through internal frictional damping forces, the seismic vibration energy is dissipated, attenuating the bridge's vibration response. During major earthquakes, the energy-dissipating component moves to its limit position within the limiting component, which then provides ultimate bearing capacity, further realizing the anti-falling beam function. Furthermore, the limiting component and the energy-dissipating component are easy to process and convenient to assemble, effectively saving manufacturing and maintenance costs and benefiting practical engineering applications.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a hybrid anti-falling beam device, comprising: a first connector, a second connector, a limiting component, and an energy-dissipating component, wherein:

[0009] The limiting component includes: a first pin, a second pin, and a rigging;

[0010] The first pin passes through the first joint bearing, the rigging, and the energy-consuming component; the second pin passes through the second ear plate, the rigging, and the energy-consuming component; both ends of the rigging are respectively sleeved on the outside of the first pin and the second pin;

[0011] The energy-dissipating component includes a damping component; both ends of the damping component are connected to the first connector and the second connector respectively through the first pin and the second pin; the damping component dissipates seismic vibration energy through internal frictional damping force, and provides ultimate bearing capacity through the limiting component, thereby further realizing the function of preventing beam fall.

[0012] Furthermore, the damping component includes: a rotating plate and a connecting assembly; one end of the three rotating plates is connected by the connecting assembly, while the other end of the middle rotating plate is connected to the second ear plate through the second pin and is disposed between the two second ear plates, and the other ends of the front and rear rotating plates are connected to the first ear plate through the first pin and are respectively disposed between the first ear plate and the rigging.

[0013] Furthermore, the rotating plate is a rotating plate with semicircles at both ends and a rectangular plate in the middle, and each of the two semicircular ends is provided with a through hole for connection.

[0014] Furthermore, a second joint bearing is provided at one end of the rotating plate in the middle, and the second joint bearing is adapted to the second pin.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting assembly includes: a washer, a disc spring, a friction ring, and a preload bolt; the washer is tightly fitted to the disc spring, and two sets of washer and disc spring are mirror-symmetrical and respectively located on the outer side of the front rotating plate and the rear rotating plate; two friction rings are respectively located between the three rotating plates; the washer, the disc spring, and the friction ring are all fixedly provided with through holes adapted to the preload bolt in the middle; the preload bolt passes through the three rotating plates, the two washer, the two disc springs, and the two friction rings, so that the connecting assembly tightly connects the three rotating plates; the preload bolt is a non-contact ultrasonic axial force measuring bolt.

[0016] Furthermore, the rigging is mainly made of rust-proofed metal parts.

[0017] Furthermore, the rigging includes a steel wire rope, with both ends of the steel wire rope tightly fitted onto the outside of the first pin and the second pin respectively by steel wire rope clamps, and the contact area between the steel wire rope and the first pin and the second pin is provided with rubber material.

[0018] Furthermore, the first ear plate is a U-shaped plate, and the first joint bearing is located at the center of one of its semi-circular ends; there is at least one first ear plate.

[0019] Furthermore, the second ear plate is a U-shaped plate, and the through hole is located at the center of one semi-circular end; there are at least two second ear plates, and several second ear plates are parallel to each other.

[0020] Another aspect of the present invention provides a method for using a hybrid anti-falling beam device, implemented by applying the anti-falling beam device as described above, comprising the following steps:

[0021] S1: Check the structural stability of the first connector, the second connector, the limiting component, and the energy-consuming component to ensure that they can be installed and used normally;

[0022] S2: Place the first connector and the second connector at appropriate positions on the bridge pier and the superstructure of the bridge, respectively. Then, connect the rigging and the energy-consuming component to the first connector and the second connector respectively through the first pin and the second pin, thereby completing the installation of the anti-falling beam device.

[0023] S3: During the service of the anti-falling beam device, when encountering a small or medium-level earthquake, the first connecting member and the second connecting member move relative to each other, causing the front and rear rotating plates and the middle rotating plate to rotate relative to the connecting assembly, thereby reducing the bridge vibration response.

[0024] S4: When encountering a large-scale earthquake, the rotating plates on the front and rear sides and the rotating plate in the middle reach the maximum angle with the connecting component as the vertex. The rigging connected to the first pin and the second pin respectively changes from a slack state to a taut state at the limit state, and the limiting component provides the ultimate bearing capacity.

[0025] S5: During the service life of the anti-falling beam device, the anti-falling beam device is monitored in real time through the pre-tightening bolts in the connecting assembly, reducing the difficulty of maintenance.

[0026] In summary, compared with the prior art, the above-described technical solutions conceived by this invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0027] 1. The anti-falling beam device of the present invention securely fixes the limiting component and the energy dissipating component to a suitable position on the bridge through the first connecting member and the second connecting member. Simultaneously, during minor or medium-level earthquakes, the first connecting member and the second connecting member move relative to each other, causing the internal components of the energy dissipating component to rotate relative to each other. Through internal frictional damping force, the seismic vibration energy is dissipated, attenuating the bridge's vibration response. During major earthquakes, the energy dissipating component moves to its limit position within the limiting component, which then provides the ultimate bearing capacity, further realizing the anti-falling beam function. Furthermore, the limiting component and the energy dissipating component are easy to process and convenient to assemble, effectively saving manufacturing and maintenance costs and benefiting practical engineering applications.

[0028] 2. The anti-falling beam device of the present invention generates a frictional torque that hinders the relative rotation of the rotating plates by setting a friction ring between a plurality of rotating plates that are respectively connected to the first connecting member and the second connecting member. The frictional torque is then converted into a frictional damping force that hinders the relative movement of the first connecting member and the second connecting member by the plurality of rotating plates, thereby reducing energy consumption and further reducing the vibration amplitude of the bridge.

[0029] 3. The anti-fall beam device of the present invention, by setting the length of the rigging, ensures that during non-earthquake periods or small to medium-level earthquakes, the rigging is in a slack state and is always above the connecting assembly, preventing the rigging from tangling with the damping component. At the same time, in the event of a large-scale earthquake, the front and rear rotating plates and the middle rotating plate reach their maximum angle with the connecting assembly as the apex, and the rigging changes from a slack state to a taut state at its limit. At this time, the limiting component provides the ultimate bearing capacity.

[0030] 4. The anti-falling beam device of the present invention, through the rigging and in combination with the first joint bearing and the second joint bearing, further improves the adaptability of the anti-falling beam device to the angular deformation caused by bridge vibration, and increases the service life of the anti-falling beam device. At the same time, by using a single friction damper, i.e. the damping component, in conjunction with several rigging to achieve the anti-falling beam effect, the overall size of the anti-falling beam device is reduced, thereby improving the flexibility and practicality of the anti-falling beam device.

A method of using a hybrid anti-falling beam device, implemented by applying the anti-falling beam device as described in any one of claims 1-8, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: S1: Check the structural stability of the first connector (1), the second connector (2), the limiting component and the energy-consuming component to ensure that they can be installed and used normally; S2: The first connector (1) and the second connector (2) are respectively placed at appropriate positions on the pier and the upper structure of the bridge. Then, the rigging (4) and the energy-consuming component are connected to the first connector (1) and the second connector (2) respectively through the first pin (31) and the second pin (32), thus completing the installation of the anti-falling beam device. S3: During the service of the anti-fall beam device, when encountering a small or medium level earthquake, the first connecting piece (1) and the second connecting piece (2) move relative to each other, causing the front and rear rotating plates (51) and the middle rotating plate (51) to rotate relative to the connecting assembly (52), thereby reducing the bridge vibration response; S4: When encountering a large-scale earthquake, the rotating plates (51) on the front and rear sides and the rotating plate (51) in the middle reach the maximum angle with the connecting component (52) as the vertex. The rigging (4) connecting the first pin (31) and the second pin (32) respectively changes from a slack state to a taut state in the limit state, and the limiting component provides the ultimate bearing capacity. S5: During the service of the anti-fall beam device, the anti-fall beam device is monitored in real time through the pre-tightening bolt (524) in the connecting assembly (52), reducing the difficulty of maintenance.
