Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of seismic resistance technology for high-altitude connecting corridor supports, and particularly to a high-altitude connecting corridor support with variable stiffness. Background Technology

[0002] Existing technology, patent CN 119616287 A, discloses a variable stiffness high-altitude corridor support, comprising: a first mounting steel plate, a second mounting steel plate, and a third mounting steel plate; a first seismic isolation support and a second seismic isolation support; locking members connected to the third mounting steel plate are provided at each of the four corners of the second mounting steel plate, and the locking members have shear grooves; both the first and second seismic isolation supports are used to dampen the high-altitude corridor support, thereby achieving variable stiffness control of the high-altitude corridor support. This invention constructs a multi-level variable stiffness seismic isolation support system. Based on the unique mechanical response mechanism of this multi-level seismic isolation system, when the seismic intensity shows an increasing trend, the interaction force between the high-altitude corridor and the towers on both sides shows a decreasing trend. This characteristic significantly improves the seismic toughness and stability of the overall structure in earthquake disasters, providing reliable protection for the safety performance of high-rise building structures in complex seismic environments.

[0003] When in use, this device can adjust the support of the seismic isolation bearing under the action of seismic shear force, thereby adjusting the stiffness of the bearing. This device only considers the impact of seismic shear force on the use of the bearing. However, in daily use, the bearing should also take into account the slight changes in displacement and position caused by temperature stress, concrete shrinkage and creep, and foundation settlement, and provide a certain buffer. Otherwise, if the position and displacement of the connecting corridor and the main structure are obstructed, it will cause a large additional stress to the connecting corridor, which will easily cause damage to the main structure of the connecting corridor and reduce its shear strength. Therefore, a variable stiffness high-altitude connecting corridor bearing is needed to meet the usage requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by the embodiments of the present invention are as follows:

[0020] In this invention, by setting up a rotation displacement and buffer mechanism, when the position of the sky bridge changes, the rotating ring will rotate within the annular seat. The rotation of the rotating ring will drive the upper support plate to rotate, thereby adapting to the slight position changes of the sky bridge under various stresses, avoiding structural damage to the sky bridge. In addition, the contact resistance between the upper contact piece and the rubber buffer seat is relatively large, which can also play a certain role in rotational damping buffering when the position of the sky bridge changes.

[0021] In this invention, by setting up a displacement and shift buffer mechanism, when the aerial corridor experiences slight displacement, the upper moving seat will slide within the lower moving seat. The movement of the No. 1 intermediate plate will drive the energy-absorbing torsion spring to rotate and compress or stretch the No. 1 transverse energy-absorbing spring. Part of the stress causing the aerial corridor to shift will be converted into the torsion of the energy-absorbing torsion spring and the elastic potential energy of the No. 1 transverse energy-absorbing spring, thereby buffering the displacement of the aerial corridor and enabling the corridor to have the conditions for slight displacement, thus buffering the displacement and avoiding structural damage to the corridor.

[0022] In this invention, by setting up a variable rigid support structure for seismic shear force, when the aerial corridor is subjected to seismic shear force, the seismic shear force will be absorbed and converted into the elastic potential energy of the main energy-absorbing spring. Thus, under the action of seismic shear force, it can play an elastic support role for the corridor, allowing the corridor to undergo slight vertical displacement. When the shear force reaches a certain level, the upper rigid support seat descends and directly contacts the lower rigid support seat, and the variable elastic support becomes a rigid support, avoiding overload damage to the main energy-absorbing spring. On the other hand, it can improve the support strength and ensure the safety of the corridor. Attached Figure Description

[0034] Example 1

[0035] See Figures 1 to 6 This invention provides a variable stiffness support for an elevated walkway, comprising an upper support plate 1, a first intermediate plate 2, a second intermediate plate 3, and a lower support plate 4. It further includes: reinforcing ribs 5, disposed within the upper support plate 1, the first intermediate plate 2, the second intermediate plate 3, and the lower support plate 4, to enhance their strength; and a rotational displacement and buffering mechanism 6, disposed on the upper support plate 1 and the first intermediate plate 2, to mitigate the effects of temperature stress, concrete shrinkage and creep, and foundation settlement on the elevated walkway. The micro-rotation displacement and displacement buffer mechanism 6 includes a rotating ring 61 and an annular seat 62 fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper support plate 1 and the top of the first intermediate plate 2. The rotating ring 61 is rotatably installed in the annular seat 62. An upper contact piece 68 and a lower contact piece 610 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the upper support plate 1 and the top of the first intermediate plate 2, respectively. A rubber buffer seat 69 is fixedly installed on the lower contact piece 610. The upper contact piece 68 and the rubber buffer seat 69 are pressed together. The movable displacement and shifting buffer mechanism 7 is set in a... On intermediate plates 2 and 3, a slight horizontal movement and movement buffer mechanism 7 is used for the aerial corridor caused by temperature stress, concrete shrinkage and creep, and foundation settlement. The mechanism includes an upper moving seat 71 and a lower moving seat 72, respectively fixedly installed at the bottom of intermediate plate 2 and the top of intermediate plate 3. The upper moving seat 71 is slidably mounted on the lower moving seat 72. A first support block 75 is fixedly installed on intermediate plate 3. A rotating shaft 76 is rotatably installed inside the first support block 75, and a mounting bracket is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 76. An energy-absorbing torsion spring 78 is fixedly installed on the mounting ring 77 and the first support block 75; a seismic shear variable rigid support structure 8 is installed on the second intermediate plate 3 and the lower support plate 4, and is used for elastic support with variable stiffness under seismic shear. The seismic shear variable rigid support structure 8 includes a main energy-absorbing spring 81 and a main damper 82 fixedly installed between the second intermediate plate 3 and the lower support plate 4. An upper rigid support seat (83) and a lower rigid support seat 84 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the second intermediate plate 3 and the top of the lower support plate 4, respectively.

[0036] When the aerial walkway changes position, the rotating ring 61 rotates within the annular seat 62. This rotation drives the upper support plate 1 to rotate, thus adapting to slight positional changes in the aerial walkway under various stresses and preventing structural damage. On the other hand, the upper contact piece 68 abuts against the rubber buffer seat 69, which provides vertical cushioning. The contact resistance between the upper contact piece 68 and the rubber buffer seat 69 is relatively high, providing some rotational damping when the aerial walkway changes position. When the aerial walkway experiences slight displacement, the upper moving seat 71 slides within the lower moving seat 72. The movement of the first intermediate plate 2 drives the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78 to rotate. Part of the stress causing the aerial walkway to shift is converted into the torque of the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78, thus buffering the shift and allowing for slight displacement, preventing structural damage. When the aerial corridor is subjected to seismic shear force, the downward movement of the No. 2 intermediate plate 3 will cause the compression of the main energy-absorbing spring 81. At this time, part of the seismic shear force will be absorbed by the main energy-absorbing spring 81 and converted into the elastic potential energy of the main energy-absorbing spring 81 and quickly consumed by the main damper 82. Thus, under the action of seismic shear force, it can play an elastic support role for the corridor, allowing the corridor to undergo slight vertical displacement. When the shear force reaches a certain level, the upper rigid support seat 83 descends and directly contacts the lower rigid support seat 84, changing the elastic support into a rigid support, avoiding overload damage to the main energy-absorbing spring 81, and on the other hand, it can improve the support strength and ensure the safety of the corridor.

[0037] In this embodiment of the invention, the rotation displacement and buffer mechanism 6 further includes a slot 63 formed in the annular seat 62. A smooth block 64 is fixedly provided on the inner wall of the slot 63, and a smooth contact block 65 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rotating ring 61. The smooth contact block 65 is rotatably disposed in the slot 63. The smooth contact block 65 rotates in the slot 63 and contacts the smooth block 64.

[0038] To reduce the lateral rotational resistance of the rotating ring 61, the smooth contact block 65 rotates within the slot 63 and contacts the smooth locking block 64, which reduces the lateral rotational resistance of the smooth contact block 65 within the slot 63 and also serves to limit the longitudinal movement of the upper support plate 1.

[0039] In this embodiment of the invention, a steel ball movable groove 66 is further provided in the annular seat 62, and a movable steel ball 67 is movably disposed in the steel ball movable groove 66.

[0040] To reduce the rotational resistance at the bottom of the rotating ring 61, the bottom of the rotating ring 61 is in direct contact with the movable steel ball 67, which reduces contact friction. When the rotating ring 61 rotates, it drives the movable steel ball 67 to move within the steel ball movement groove 66, thereby reducing the rotational resistance at the bottom of the rotating ring 61.

[0041] In this embodiment of the invention, the moving displacement and shifting buffer mechanism 7 further includes a guide block 73 fixedly disposed at the bottom of the upper moving seat 71, and a guide groove 74 is provided at the top of the lower moving seat 72, and the guide block 73 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 74.

[0042] In order to guide the movement of the upper movable seat 71, the guide block 73 slides in the guide groove 74 to guide the movement of the upper movable seat 71 and prevent misalignment or separation between the upper movable seat 71 and the lower movable seat 72.

[0043] In this embodiment of the invention, a rack 79 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the first intermediate plate 2, and a gear 710 is fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 76, with the rack 79 and the gear 710 meshing with each other.

[0044] To drive the rotation of the shaft 76, the movement of the intermediate plate 2 causes the rack 79 to move, which in turn causes the gear 710 to rotate, which in turn causes the shaft 76 to rotate.

[0045] In this embodiment of the invention, a rotating rod 711 is fixedly mounted on the mounting ring 77, a guide frame 712 is fixedly mounted on the second intermediate plate 3, a movable frame 714 is slidably mounted on the guide frame 712, a first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713 is fixedly mounted on the guide frame 712 and the movable frame 714, a movable pin 715 is movably mounted inside the movable frame 714, and the tail end of the rotating rod 711 is rotatably mounted on the movable pin 715.

[0046] To enhance the buffering effect against the displacement of the aerial walkway, the rotating ring 77 rotates, causing the rotating rod 711 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 711 causes the movable pin 715 to move within the movable frame 714. Depending on the direction of the walkway displacement, the movable pin 715 pulls the movable frame 714 to the left or right, thereby compressing or stretching the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713. This converts a portion of the stress causing the aerial walkway displacement into the elastic potential energy of the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713 and stores it within the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713, thus enhancing the buffering effect against the displacement of the aerial walkway.

[0047] In this embodiment of the invention, a guide sleeve 716 is further fixedly provided at the bottom of the movable frame 714, and the guide sleeve 716 is slidably sleeved on the guide frame 712.

[0048] In order to guide the movement of the movable frame 714, the guide sleeve 716 slides within the guide frame 712, which can guide the movement of the movable frame 714, so that the movable frame 714 can only move on the guide frame 712.

[0049] In this embodiment of the invention, a first transverse damper 717 is further provided horizontally on the first intermediate plate 2 and the second intermediate plate 3.

[0050] To prevent vibration after the connecting corridor shifts, when the first intermediate plate 2 moves, the first lateral damper 717 will be stretched. At this time, the energy stored in the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78 and the first lateral energy-absorbing spring 713 will be quickly consumed by the first lateral damper 717 to avoid vibration of the connecting corridor.

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, a guide bar 86 is fixedly provided on the lower support plate 4, a slider 87 is slidably provided on the guide bar 86, a connecting rod 88 is rotatably provided on the slider 87, a second support block 85 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the second intermediate plate 3, the other end of the connecting rod 88 is rotatably provided on the second support block 85, there is a set of sliders 87, and a second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89 and a second transverse damper 810 are fixedly provided between the set of sliders 87;

[0052] To enhance the buffering effect against seismic shear force and change the support rigidity, the second intermediate plate 3 descends, causing the second support block 85 to descend as well. The descent of the second support block 85 causes the connecting rod 88 to rotate, which in turn compresses the slider 87 onto the guide bar 86. As a set of guide bars 86 slide and move closer together, they compress the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89. At this time, another part of the seismic shear force is absorbed by the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89 and converted into its elastic potential energy, which is then quickly dissipated by the second transverse damper 810. Thus, under the action of seismic shear force, it can play an elastic support role for the corridor, allowing the corridor to undergo slight vertical displacement. When the shear force reaches a certain level, the upper rigid support seat 83 descends and directly contacts the lower rigid support seat 84, changing the variable elastic support into a rigid support. On the one hand, this avoids overload damage to the main energy-absorbing spring 81 and the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89; on the other hand, it increases the support strength and ensures the safety of the corridor.

[0053] In this embodiment of the invention, a groove 811 is further provided on the guide bar 86, and a guide slider 812 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the slider 87, and the guide slider 812 is slidably disposed in the groove 811.

[0054] In order to guide the movement of slider 87, guide slider 812 slides within slide groove 811 to guide the movement of slider 87, so that slider 87 can only move on guide bar 86.

[0055] Working principle: When the aerial walkway experiences slight positional changes due to temperature stress, concrete shrinkage and creep, and foundation settlement, the rotating ring 61 rotates within the annular seat 62. Simultaneously, the smooth contact block 65 rotates within the slot 63 and contacts the smooth locking block 64, reducing the rotational resistance of the smooth contact block 65 within the slot 63. The rotation of the rotating ring 61 drives the upper support plate 1 to rotate, thus adapting to slight positional changes in the aerial walkway under various stresses and preventing structural damage. On the other hand, the upper contact piece 68 abuts against the rubber buffer seat 69, which provides vertical buffering. The contact resistance between the upper contact piece 68 and the rubber buffer seat 69 is relatively high, providing some rotational damping when the aerial walkway changes position. When the aerial walkway experiences slight displacement, the upper moving seat 71 slides within the lower moving seat 72, and the guide block 73 slides within the guide groove 74, preventing misalignment or separation between the upper moving seat 71 and the lower moving seat 72. When the intermediate plate 2 moves, it drives the rack 79 to move. The rack 79 then drives the gear 710 to rotate. The gear 710 then drives the rotating shaft 76 to rotate. The rotating shaft 76 then drives the mounting ring 77 to rotate. The rotating ring 77 then drives the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78 to rotate. Part of the stress causing the aerial walkway to shift is converted into the torque of the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78, thus buffering the shift of the aerial walkway. At the same time, the rotating ring 77 drives the rotating rod 711 to rotate. The rotating rod 711 then drives the movable pin 715 to move within the movable frame 714. The internal movement, depending on the direction of the corridor displacement, causes the movable pin 715 to pull the movable frame 714 to move left or right, thereby compressing or stretching the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713. This converts some of the stress causing the aerial corridor displacement into the elastic potential energy of the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713, which is then stored within it. The guide sleeve 716 slides within the guide frame 712, guiding the movement of the movable frame 714 so that it can only move on the guide frame 712. When the first intermediate plate 2 moves, the first transverse damper 717 is stretched. At this time, the energy stored in the energy-absorbing torsion spring 78 and the first transverse energy-absorbing spring 713 is quickly dissipated by the first transverse damper 717, preventing vibration of the corridor. Through the above mechanism, the corridor can be allowed to undergo slight displacement, and the displacement is buffered to avoid structural damage to the corridor.When the aerial corridor is subjected to seismic shear force, the downward movement of the second intermediate plate 3 will cause the compression of the main energy-absorbing spring 81. At this time, part of the seismic shear force will be absorbed by the main energy-absorbing spring 81 and converted into the elastic potential energy of the main energy-absorbing spring 81, which will be quickly consumed by the main damper 82. As the second intermediate plate 3 descends, it will drive the second support block 85 to descend. The descent of the second support block 85 will cause the connecting rod 88 to rotate. The rotation of the connecting rod 88 will squeeze the slider 87 to slide on the guide bar 86. The sliding of a set of guide bars 86 and their approach to each other will compress the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89. At this time, another part of the seismic shear force will be compressed. The force will be absorbed by the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89 and converted into the elastic potential energy of the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89, which will be quickly consumed by the second transverse damper 810. Thus, under the action of seismic shear force, it can play the role of elastic support for the corridor, allowing the corridor to undergo slight vertical displacement. When the shear force reaches a certain level, the upper rigid support seat 83 descends and comes into direct contact with the lower rigid support seat 84, changing the variable elastic support into a rigid support. On the one hand, it can avoid damage to the main energy-absorbing spring 81 and the second transverse energy-absorbing spring 89 due to overload, and on the other hand, it can improve the support strength and ensure the safety of the corridor.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
