A plurality of rotatable balls 117 are arranged in the sliding grooves 116 at intervals. The balls 117 cannot move in the vertical direction of the sliding grooves 116, but can rotate. The sleeve 111 is connected to the upper steel arch assembly 21 through the upper end plate 112. Four connecting rods 114 are arranged in an array. The connecting rods 114 are installed on the upper end plate 112 and located in the sleeve 111. The truncated cone end heads 115 are connected to the lower ends of the connecting rods 114. The outer diameters of the truncated cone end heads 115 gradually decrease from top to bottom. The four truncated cone end heads 115 are located on both sides of the web plate of the upper steel arch assembly 21 respectively.

[0038] The lower assembly 12 of the nonlinear continuous yielding device comprises a lower end plate 121 and nonlinear continuous yielding dampers 123, the lower end plate 121 is installed on the lower steel arch assembly 22, the cross-sectional size of the lower assembly 12 (the lower end plate 121) of the nonlinear continuous yielding device, the cross-sectional size of the lower steel arch assembly 22 and the cross-sectional size inside the sleeve 111 correspond to each other, the lower assembly 12 of the nonlinear continuous yielding device and the lower steel arch assembly 22 are both installed inside the sleeve 111 and move along the extension direction inside the sleeve 111, four through holes 122 are formed on the lower end plate 121, one nonlinear continuous yielding damper 123 is welded or threadedly connected and installed in each through hole 122, the positions and numbers of the truncated conical end heads 115 of the upper assembly 11 of the nonlinear continuous yielding device correspond to the positions and numbers of the nonlinear continuous yielding dampers 123 of the lower assembly 12 of the nonlinear continuous yielding device respectively, and the four nonlinear continuous yielding dampers 123 are located on both sides of the web of the lower steel arch assembly 22 respectively. The nonlinear continuous yielding damper 123 comprises a damping cylinder 124 and a bottom sealing plate 125, the damping cylinder 124 is internally provided with a truncated conical wall 126, the inner diameter of the truncated conical wall 126 gradually decreases from top to bottom, the bottom sealing plate 125 is arranged at the bottom end of the damping cylinder 124 and is used for sealing the bottom end of the damping cylinder 124, and the connecting rod 114 and the truncated conical end head 115 are both installed in the damping cylinder 124 of the nonlinear continuous yielding damper 123. In addition, the top of the damping cylinder 124 is provided with a one-way clamping buckle 127, the one-way clamping buckle 127 can limit the truncated conical end head 115 and prevent the truncated conical end head 115 from moving out of the damping cylinder 124, the one-way clamping buckle 127 is composed of a plurality of arc-shaped rotating plates, and the arc-shaped rotating plates are arranged along the inner periphery of the opening end of the damping cylinder 124, in the embodiment, four arc-shaped rotating plates are arranged, the outer side of each arc-shaped rotating plate is connected to the damping cylinder 124 through a rotatable piece (a torsional spring can be selected), and a hole through which the connecting rod 114 passes is formed between the inner sides of the four arc-shaped rotating plates.
