Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of engineering structure shock absorption control, and particularly relates to a shock isolation lock and a shock isolation device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of engineering structure shock absorption control, the stiffness design of the shock isolation device is crucial. If the stiffness of the shock isolation device is too high, it may not be able to provide sufficient isolation effect under the action of an earthquake, thus failing to achieve the ideal shock absorption goal. If the stiffness is too low, the device may be damaged when it faces non-seismic loads, such as wind action on power facilities or human pushing on an exhibit case. Therefore, an ideal shock isolation device should exhibit high stiffness in the normal use state to resist environmental excitations that may be encountered in daily use and avoid unnecessary vibration of the shock isolation system. Under the action of an earthquake, when the acceleration of the isolated structure is lower than the set triggering threshold, the shock isolation device should remain in the locked state to limit the movement of the structure and prevent excessive displacement. Once the acceleration caused by the earthquake exceeds the triggering point, the triggering mechanism in the shock isolation device will respond quickly to unlock the device and allow the shock isolation system to play its role in shock absorption. After the earthquake, the locked state of the shock isolation device can be restored by resetting the triggering device to ensure the stability and safety of the structure under non-seismic conditions.

[0003] At present, existing shock isolation locking devices, such as ① Patent No. CN201611202163.3, disclose a locking, unlocking, and resetting scheme for a cultural relic shock isolation device, which mainly realizes the unlocking and resetting functions through a series of parts such as fine ropes, pulley blocks, and balance knife-edge trigger levers. This scheme has high sensitivity but complex structure and high failure rate. ② Patent No. CN201810027052.6 discloses an adjustable locking device and an improved unlocking method for a shock isolation device in the field of exhibit case and cultural relic shock protection technology. The principle is to use the overturning of an inertia block to trigger the unlocking mechanism. This design significantly improves the traditional unlocking method, but the reliability of this technology in actual application still needs further verification and consideration. ③ Patent No. CN202110644981.3 discloses an overturning type horizontal shock isolation trigger, which realizes the unlocking function of the trigger by overturning the supporting leg and pulling out the lock tongue from the lock core. The unlocking acceleration error of this scheme is large, and it cannot achieve the expected effect in actual application. ④ Patent No. CN202322293171.5 discloses an electric control type shock isolation trigger device, which realizes the unlocking and locking of the trigger device by controlling the controller to drive the electromagnetic lock.

[0004] Therefore, how to design a small volume, pure mechanical structure, no need for power, no need for electrical components, with reset function and can realize accurate acceleration trigger shock isolation locking device is the problem that the person skilled in the art needs to solve urgently. SUMMARY
