[0002] With the development of society and the growth of demand, bridge design tends to build bridge structures with larger spans. However, the increase in span makes the bridge more flexible, with a lower fundamental frequency and reduced damping, which makes long-span bridges more prone to significant vibration when subjected to dynamic loads.

On the side where the second lower ear plates 25 of the group are close to each other, the damper 7 includes but is not limited to a viscous damper, a viscoelastic damper, a friction damper or a metal damper. The top of the right side of each group of beams 2 is symmetrically fixed with a limit frame 10 along the front-to-back direction, and the damper 7 is inserted in the limit frame 10. The front and back sides of each group of limit frames 10 are successively rotated along the up-down direction and are equipped with a plurality of groups of rollers 11 attached to the damper 7. By setting the limit frames 10 and the rollers 11, the front and back positions of the damper 7 can be limited to avoid its front and back shaking, which affects the use effect. A pre-stressed spring 9 is rotatably installed on one side of each group of docking columns 6.

[0027] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 7One side of the cross beam 2 is provided with an auxiliary component used in conjunction with the regulating component, the auxiliary component includes a fixed seat 12 symmetrically fixed to one end of the lever 4 near the connecting rod 5 along the front-to-back direction, two sets of sliding frames 13 are symmetrically inserted along the front-to-back direction on the left side of each set of cross beams 2, and a fixing groove 15 is provided on the front and back of the top of each set of sliding frames 13. One end of the fixed seat 12 is inserted into the fixing groove 15, and one end of the fixed seat 12 inserted into the fixing groove 15 is a rod-shaped structure. The fixed seat 12 with one end designed as a rod-shaped structure inserted in the fixing groove 15 can make the fixed seat 12 move stably in the fixing groove 15 without any obstruction. The left side of each set of cross beams 2 along the front-to-back direction Two groups of guard plates 14 are symmetrically fixed and the left side of the sliding frame 13 is attached to the guard plate 14. A circular placement groove is opened at one end of the fixed seat 12 close to the lever 4. The design of the circular placement groove prevents one end of the fixed seat 12 from contacting the movable shaft on the lever 4. Four groups of cylinders 16 are fixed in sequence along the front-to-back direction on one side of the bottom of each group of crossbeams 2. A piston rod 17 is slidably arranged in each group of cylinders 16, and the bottom end of the piston rod 17 passes through the cylinder 16 and is fixed on the sliding frame 13. Two groups of butt pipes 18 are connected in sequence along the up-down direction on the right side of each group of cylinders 16. A box body 19 is fixed on the surface of each group of butt pipes 18, and the top of the upper box body 19 is embedded in the bottom of the crossbeam 2. , one end of the butt-joint pipe 18 located in the box body 19 is connected with an air bag 22, a reinforcing plate 24 is fixed on the side where the upper and lower sets of box bodies 19 are close to each other, the tops and bottoms of the two adjacent sets of cylinder bodies 16 that are far away from each other are connected with an inflation tube, and each set of inflation tubes is provided with an auxiliary valve. The design of the inflation tube and the auxiliary valve can replenish air in the cylinder body 16, and the front and back of each set of box bodies 19 are slidably provided with a contact plate 23 that fits on the air bag 22, and both sides of the front and back of each set of box bodies 19 are inserted with T-shaped rods 20, one end of the two adjacent sets of T-shaped rods 20 is fixed on the contact plate 23, and each set of T-shaped rods 20 is wound with an auxiliary spring 21 and the auxiliary spring 2 The two ends of 1 are fixed on the protruding ends of the T-bar 20 and the box body 19. By setting up auxiliary components and utilizing multiple and multi-form buffering methods, the bending and torsion degree of the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1 can be assisted to reduce when the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1 and the crossbeam 2 undergo vertical relative displacement. There is a spacing between the bottom of the cylinder 16 and the bottom of the inner cavity of the sliding frame 13. The design of the spacing gives the sliding frame 13 a certain rising space to improve the buffering effect on the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1. The design of the auxiliary component at the other end of the regulating component is only a further assistance to the regulating component and will not affect the normal operation and normal measurement data of the regulating component.
[0028] Working principle: The deck of the long-span bridge body 1 will vibrate vertically under extreme loads such as earthquakes or strong winds, causing the deck of the long-span bridge body 1 to twist, bend or bend-torsion coupled deformation, which seriously affects the safety and use of the long-span bridge body 1. When the above displacement occurs, the relative distance between the top of the connecting rod 5 and the first lower ear plate 3 changes. At this time, the connecting rod 5 will drive one end of the lever 4 to rotate, and the other end of the lever 4 will drive the damper 7 and the pre-stress spring 9 to rotate synchronously. The design of the pre-stress spring 9, by pre-applying pre-stress deformation in advance, makes the pre-stress spring 9 still in a compressed state within a certain elongation displacement. The pre-stress spring 9 with this feature releases the pre-stress when the lever 4 rotates, reducing the bottom shear force and damage of the structure, and improving the vertical shock absorption performance of the bridge. At the same time, the vertical displacement can be amplified to the two ends of the damper 7 by using the principle of the lever 4, increasing the stroke of the damper 7, realizing the amplification of the energy consumption of the damper 7, reducing the demand for the damper tonnage, and further improving the vertical shock absorption performance of the bridge. The multiple control components arranged on both sides of the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1 together constitute a vertical bending and torsion control system, which can simultaneously control the vertical displacement of the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1 in the same or different directions, reduce the bending and torsion degree of the bridge deck of the long-span bridge body 1, improve the vertical shock absorption performance of the long-span bridge body 1, and ensure the safety and reliability of the long-span bridge body 1. When the lever 4 is subjected to force, the fixed seat 12 will change the upper and lower positions of the sliding frame 13, so that the position of the piston rod 17 can be changed synchronously. At this time, the active The plug rod 17 can quickly transport the gas in the cylinder 16 to the airbag 22 via the docking tube 18. The elastic force of the airbag 22 can be used to initially buffer the pressure. As the gas continues to flow in, the airbag 22 will continue to expand. At this time, the expanded airbag 22 will squeeze the contact plate 23 and stretch the auxiliary spring 21 synchronously. At this time, the elastic rebound of the auxiliary spring 21 can form a certain resistance to the expansion of the airbag 22, thereby further buffering the pressure to help reduce the bending and torsion of the bridge deck of the large-span bridge body 1.
