Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shock absorption, in particular to a self-resetting energy dissipation device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional earthquake-resistant design dissipates energy through plastic deformation of structural components. This method ensures the safety of personnel to a large extent, but the excessive residual deformation of the structure after the earthquake interrupts the use of the building itself and generates high repair costs. Since the residual inter-story displacement angle of the structure after the earthquake exceeds 0.5%, the repair cost of the building will be higher than the reconstruction cost. Therefore, it is necessary to make the energy dissipation device have a certain self-reset ability to reduce or even eliminate the residual deformation of the structure after the earthquake.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] Example 1: Figure 1-12 As shown, the present invention provides a self-resetting energy dissipation device, including a connecting guide rod 1, an outer frame 2, a fixed guide rod 3, a reset system and a friction energy dissipation system, the reset system includes a first reset component and a second reset component, the first reset component and the second reset component are respectively installed at both ends of the outer frame 2, and are symmetrically arranged; the connecting guide rod 1 passes through the second reset component and the friction energy dissipation system to be connected with the first reset component; the fixed guide rod 3 is installed at one end of the first reset component away from the connecting guide rod 1; the friction energy dissipation system is installed between the first reset component and the second reset component, and is located inside the outer frame 2.

[0035] The outer frame 2 includes an outer plate 21, a first end cover 22 and a second end cover 23. The first end cover 22 and the second end cover 23 are respectively mounted on two ends of the outer plate 21 and are symmetrically arranged.

[0036] The connecting guide rod 1 includes a connecting round rod 11, a connecting plate 12 and a fixed cylinder 13 which are welded in sequence. A first fixed plate 14 and a second fixed plate 15 are welded at both ends of the connecting plate 12. Eight small holes are respectively opened on the first fixed plate 14 and the second fixed plate 15 for connecting with the reset system.

[0037] The friction energy dissipation system includes a friction plate 8, a friction sheet 5 and a second fastening assembly; there are two friction plates 8, which are symmetrically arranged in the outer plate 21, and a slide groove 81 is opened on the friction plate 8; there are six friction plates 5, which are symmetrically arranged between the inner wall of the outer plate 21 and the friction plate 8; the second fastening assembly passes through the outer plate 21, the friction sheet 5 and the friction plate 8 in sequence.

[0038] The second fastening assembly includes a screw rod 4 and a nut II. The screw rod 4 uses an anti-loosening disc spring to ensure that no loss occurs after the pre-tightening force is applied. The screw rod 4 cooperates with the nut II.

[0039] The inner wall of the outer plate 21 is provided with a groove 211 for restricting the movement of the friction plate 5. The first reset assembly is connected to the first end cover 22 and the first fixing plate 14 through a first fastening assembly, and the second reset assembly is connected to the second end cover 23 and the second fixing plate 15 through a first fastening assembly. The first fastening assembly includes a nut I, which cooperates with the nut I and the first reset assembly.

[0040] The first reset assembly includes a first spring 7 and eight second springs 6; the first spring 7 is installed between the fixed guide rod 3 and the fixed cylinder 13, and the two ends of the second spring 6 are straight and extend out of the first end cover 22 and the first fixed plate 14 respectively. The extended part is provided with an external thread, which is adapted to connect with the nut I to play a tightening role. The first spring 7 has a restoring force only when it is compressed, and when it is pulled, it is ensured that the first spring 7 will not be separated from the fixed guide rod 3 and the fixed cylinder 13 within the measuring range. The second spring 6 is connected to the first end cover 22 and the first fixed plate 14 through the nut I. Due to the effect of the nut I, the second spring 6 can provide self-reset capability when it is compressed and pulled.

[0041] The second reset assembly includes one first spring 7 and eight second springs 6; the first spring 7 is installed on the connecting rod 11 between the second end cover 23 and the second fixing plate 15, and the second spring 6 is connected to the second end cover 23 and the second fixing plate 15 through the nut I.

[0042] The reset system can adjust the initial reset capacity of the reset system through the nut I. When adjusting the preload force, the preload force applied by each second spring 6 is the same, and the preload forces applied by the first and second reset assemblies are also the same, so as to ensure that the self-resetting energy dissipation device is in the same state when under compression and tension.

[0043] The friction energy dissipation system can adjust the friction force of the friction plate 5 through the nut II. The greater the pre-tightening force, the greater the friction force of the friction plate 5 and the better the energy dissipation effect. When in use, the initial reset capacity of the reset system should be greater than the friction force of the friction energy dissipation system, so that the device can have good reset capacity.

[0044] The working principle of the present invention is as follows:

[0045] Under the action of earthquake, the connecting guide rod 1 moves, causing the self-resetting system to deform, thereby achieving energy dissipation and self-resetting. When the force of the earthquake on the support exceeds the sliding force F of the friction system m At this time, the friction system and the self-reset system work together to consume energy.

[0046] The design method of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] In order to ensure that the device has sufficient self-reset capability, it is necessary to ensure that the force F of the self-reset system in the initial state S Greater than the force F of the friction energy dissipation system m ; Force F of the self-resetting system S = kx, k is the elastic coefficient, x is the elongation, and the force F of the friction energy dissipation system m =μN, μ is the friction coefficient, N is the positive pressure. Take the self-reset system with sixteen second springs 6 and two first springs 7, and the friction energy dissipation system with four friction plates 5 as an example, where the elastic coefficient of the second spring is k 1 , the elastic coefficient of the first spring is k 2 , the friction coefficient is μ, the force F of the self-resetting system S =16k 1 x, the force F of the friction systemm =4μN, then the relationship between the initial preload displacement of the second spring and the normal pressure of the friction system is

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
