Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and do not require that the present invention must be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present invention. The terms "connected" and "connected" used in the present invention should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can be fixed connections or detachable connections; they can be directly connected or indirectly connected through intermediate components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0039] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with embodiments. It should be noted that the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0040] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a novel bridge seismic device includes a damping block 2 and a damping member 3, wherein the cross-sectional shape of the damping block 2 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of the bridge 1. Generally speaking, the side length of the damping block 2 is 0.2-0.5 times the side length of the inner cavity of the bridge 1. The damping block 2 is arranged inside the bridge 1 corresponding to the earthquake-prone area. A plurality of damping members 3 are distributed on the periphery of the damping block 2 and are correspondingly connected between the damping block 2 and the inner cavity of the bridge 1, so that the damping block 2 is circumferentially confined to the inner wall of the bridge 1 by the plurality of damping members 3, and seismic resistance is achieved by the buffering of the damping members 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, according to the length of the bridge 1 passing through the earthquake zone, multiple damping blocks 2 are spaced apart along the direction of the bridge 1, and two adjacent damping blocks 2 along the direction of the bridge 1 are fixed by damping members 3, so that the internal damping device of the bridge 1 is connected as a whole, and the damper is a spring or a damping rod. In this application, the damper is preferably a spring, and connection stations corresponding to the damping members 3 are provided on the inner wall of the bridge 1 and the outer wall of the damping block 2. The connection station can be a hinge seat. During the casting process of the bridge 1, connecting bolts are pre-embedded in the inner wall of the bridge 1, and then the hinge seat is threadedly assembled for connecting the damping members 3. Hinged plates corresponding to the hinge seats are fixed at both ends of the damping members 3 by welding.

[0042] In an alternative embodiment, in order to reduce the hoisting difficulty of production cost, the damping block 2 includes a housing 201 and a concrete filling block. The housing 201 is welded by steel plates. A plurality of steel bars 202 are arranged inside the housing 201 to strengthen the strength of the housing 201 as tie bars. Then, the housing 201 is filled with concrete to form a concrete filling block, thereby reducing the hoisting difficulty.

[0043] In this embodiment, on both sides and above the damping block 2, a plurality of damping members 3 are evenly distributed. The lower wall of the damping block 2 is provided with mounting holes corresponding to the damping members 3, and the mounting holes are equidistantly distributed along the edge of the lower wall of the damping block 2, so as to ensure that construction workers can adjust the lower damping members 3. Specifically, since the damping members 3 need to have high strength and ensure the buffering purpose, after the damping members 3 extend downward from the lower wall of the damping block 2, they are slidably assembled at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bridge 1 through a sliding mechanism, so as to stably support the damping block 2. Since the weight of the housing 201 is small before pouring, and the damping members 3 generally have large elasticity, in order to prevent the damping members 3 from supporting upward and making the height of the housing 201 too high, making it difficult to hoist into the inner cavity of the bridge 1, the present application sets the sliding mechanism to include a screw sleeve 6, a support column 7 and a ball 8. Among them, the lower end of the screw sleeve 6 is correspondingly sleeved on the damping member 3, and the upper end is slidably assembled longitudinally in the mounting hole. The support column 7 is threadedly assembled at the lower end of the screw sleeve 6. The lower end of the support column 7 is provided with a groove corresponding to the ball 8, thereby forming a complete sliding structure to ensure free sliding during an earthquake.

[0044] Furthermore, in the present application, a sleeve 5 is welded to the bottom of the housing 201 to form a mounting hole. The sleeve 5 is a metal pipe and is connected to the steel bar 202 inside the housing 201. At least one longitudinal chute is provided on the inner wall of the sleeve 5. The upper end of the chute extends to the upper end face of the sleeve 5, and the lower end extends to a certain distance above the lower end face of the sleeve 5. A convex block corresponding to the chute is provided at the upper end of the screw sleeve 6 to longitudinally limit the screw sleeve 6 and prevent the screw sleeve 6 from exiting the mounting hole under the extrusion of the damping member 3. A closed end corresponding to the damping member 3 is provided at the bottom of the screw sleeve 6 to block the lower end of the damping member 3. The support column 7 passes upward through the closed end and extends into the damping member 3. A plug 9 corresponding to the damping member 3 is provided on the top plate of the screw sleeve 6, and the plug 9 is threadedly assembled inside the screw sleeve 6, so as to facilitate the installation of the damping member 3 and use the plug 9 to block the upper end of the damping member 3, thereby limiting the position of the damping member 3. In this embodiment, the sliding member is a steel ball, and a support plate 4 corresponding to the ball 8 is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bridge 1.

[0045] In this way, the extended length can be limited by rotating the support column 7, thereby reducing the hoisting difficulty. After the damping block 2 is poured, the support column 7 is fully extended to ensure longitudinal force balance.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment, the present application also provides a construction method for a seismic device of a new type of bridge 1, comprising the following steps:

[0047] Step S1, detecting the geological layer in the area passed by the bridge 1 to obtain the earthquake-prone areas, and setting the distribution of the damping blocks 2 according to the detection results.

[0048] Step S2, performing in-situ casting construction of the bridge 1 in the conventional construction direction. When the bridge 1 is constructed to the earthquake-prone area, the bridge 1 reaches the preset strength through curing, and preparatory work for installing the damping device is carried out.

[0049] Step S3, selecting a suitable lifting device according to the actual environment, installing the damping blocks 2 inside the bridge 1 by lifting, and then connecting the damping blocks 2 to the inner wall of the bridge 1 through the damping members 3. After completion, the casting of the next section of the bridge 1 is carried out.

[0050] Step S4, repeating steps S2 - S3 until the construction of the bridge 1 corresponding to the earthquake-prone area is completed, and then the casting of the bridge 1 can be carried out normally.

[0051] In an alternative embodiment, in step S2, during the casting of the bridge 1, connecting members are embedded in its inner wall as the connection stations for the damping members 3. The connecting members can be embedded bolts, and a steel plate is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bridge 1 as a supporting plate 4, which is used to support the damping blocks 2 after the casting is completed. In step S4, as the casting progresses, two adjacent damping blocks 2 in the upward direction of the bridge 1 are connected through the damping members 3, so that a plurality of damping blocks 2 are connected into a whole.

[0052] In an alternative embodiment, in order to reduce the hoisting difficulty of production costs, the damping block 2 comprises a housing 201 and a concrete filling block. The housing 201 is welded by steel plates. A plurality of steel bars 202 are arranged inside the housing 201 to strengthen the strength of the housing 201 as tension bars. An installation hole corresponding to the damping member 3 is provided on the lower wall of the damping block 2. The installation hole is a welded metal sleeve 5. After the damping member 3 extends out of the lower wall of the damping block 2, it is slidably assembled at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bridge 1 through a sliding mechanism. The sliding mechanism comprises a screw sleeve 6, a support column 7 and a ball 8. The screw sleeve 6 is correspondingly connected to the damping member 3 and is slidably assembled longitudinally in the installation hole. The support column 7 is threadedly assembled at the lower end of the screw sleeve 6. A groove for the corresponding ball 8 is provided at the lower end of the support column 7 to meet the sliding requirements.

[0053] During the construction of the bridge 1, a support plate 4 is laid at the bottom of the inner cavity of the bridge 1 as a formwork and does not need to be removed after the casting is completed. To maintain stability, a plurality of anchor bolts integrated with the casting of the bridge 1 are fixed on the lower surface of the support plate 4, so that the bridge 1 and the support plate 4 are cast into one body. After the concrete of the bridge 1 reaches the preset strength, the housing 201 of the preset damping member 3 in the bottom installation hole is hoisted into the bridge 1 through a hoisting device.

[0054] After the outer shell 201 is in place, it is connected to the bridge 1 through the damping member 3. The outer shell 201 is provided with a pouring port, and then the pouring pipe can be inserted into the pouring port outside the outer shell 201 to carry out concrete pouring inside.

[0055] After the concrete inside the outer shell 201 solidifies, the construction of the next section of the bridge 1 is carried out, and this cycle is repeated until the installation of the damping block 2 in the seismic area is completed.

[0056] In this embodiment, aiming at the elasticity problem of the damping member 3, before the outer shell 201 enters the inner cavity of the bridge 1, the extended length of the threaded adjustment support column 7 is adjusted to the minimum so that the height of the outer shell 201 is adapted to the inner cavity of the bridge 1, which is convenient for lifting the outer shell 201 into the inner cavity of the bridge 1.

[0057] After the outer shell 201 enters the inner cavity of the bridge 1 and is in place, the extended length of the threaded adjustment support column 7 is adjusted. At this time, the outer shell 201 is adjusted to be in place longitudinally. After the outer shell 201 reaches the specified elevation, the damping member 3 is connected. After the damping member 3 is connected and fixed, concrete pouring is carried out.

[0058] After the concrete pouring is completed (or during the concrete pouring process), the threaded adjustment support column 7 is adjusted to the preset position. At this time, the support column 7 is at the maximum length. After overcoming the gravity of the damping block 2, the damping block 2 is in a balanced force state and at the preset elevation.

[0059] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are within the scope of protection of the pending claims of the present invention.
