Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of seismic isolation bearings, and in particular to an elastic single-sided flat plate rolling seismic isolation bearing. Background Art

[0002] Seismic isolation technology for building structures extends the natural vibration period of the structure and reduces the structure's seismic acceleration response by installing an isolation layer. At the same time, the isolation layer has a high energy dissipation capacity to dissipate the energy input into the structure by the earthquake. When an earthquake strikes, the upper structure of the seismic isolation building is close to translational motion. Seismic isolation technology greatly enhances the building structure's ability to withstand earthquake risks, protecting people's lives and property. It can also protect important facilities in the building (such as machine rooms, power facilities, medical equipment, and precision instruments) from damage. The main isolation devices used domestically and internationally are rubber isolation bearings and sliding isolation bearings. The former typically consists of multiple layers of rubber sandwiched between thin steel plates, with a lead core optionally added in the center. This structure can extend the building's natural vibration period, distance it from the characteristic period of seismic waves, reduce earthquake effects, and provide automatic reset. The latter, on the other hand, cannot reset itself and must be used in conjunction with an isolation bearing or reset device with reset function.

[0003] However, its disadvantages are also very obvious. In the existing technology, the horizontal stiffness of the rubber isolation bearing is greater than that of the sliding isolation bearing. From the perspective of mechanism, LRB and LNR reduce the horizontal stiffness of the isolator through the elastic deformation of the material; the sliding / plate bearing reduces the force of the upper structure by sliding the slider on the sliding surface. The vertical stiffness of the existing sliding or rolling bearings on the market is more than ten times that of the rubber isolation bearing. Therefore, when used together during vertical earthquakes, the pressure of the sliding or rolling bearing and its connected components will increase rapidly, causing the rolling bearing and its connected components to be damaged, resulting in structural safety. For this reason, a rolling bearing is proposed that extends the period of the isolation structure system by rolling steel balls on the rolling surface, reduces the force of the upper structure, and is an elastic single-sided flat plate rolling isolation bearing that can adjust the vertical stiffness. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide an elastic single-sided flat plate rolling isolation bearing to solve the problems in the prior art.

[0005] To achieve this purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: an elastic single-sided flat plate rolling seismic isolation bearing, including an elastic adjustment component, a ball, a fixed plate, a rolling panel and a lower connecting plate. The elastic adjustment component is effectively connected to the fixed plate and the ball by bolt connection or welding to form a whole. The ball is placed between the rolling panel and the elastic adjustment component, and the rolling panel is placed on the lower connecting plate. The ball and the rolling panel form a horizontal rolling friction pair, and a gap is left between the fixed plate and the rolling panel.

[0006] Preferably, the elastic adjustment component is composed of an upper connecting plate, a middle sealing plate, a skeleton plate, and rubber. There are several spaced-apart plate-shaped rubbers and skeleton plates between the upper connecting plate and the middle sealing plate. An arc-shaped groove is provided on the lower side of the middle sealing plate, and the ball bearing is placed in the arc-shaped groove and reliably connected to the middle sealing plate by connecting bolts or welding. The upper connecting plate, skeleton plate, middle sealing plate, rubber, and fixing plate can be round or square, etc.

[0007] Preferably, the bottom of the middle sealing plate facing the rolling panel and the upper part of the fixed plate facing the elastic adjustment component both have arc-shaped grooves that match the shape and size of the balls, and the balls are placed in the grooves.

[0008] Preferably, the middle sealing plate and the fixing plate are connected by bolts or welding.

[0009] Preferably, the lower part of the middle sealing plate has several threaded holes, the lower part of the fixing plate has several countersunk screw holes corresponding to the positions of the threaded holes one by one, and the fixing plate and the middle sealing plate are connected by connecting bolts screwed into the threaded holes and the countersunk screw holes.

[0010] Preferably, the size of the rolling panel is larger than the size of the middle sealing plate to ensure that the ball can roll freely. The size of the lower connecting plate is slightly larger than the size of the rolling panel and is reliably connected by bolts or welding. The lower connecting plate and the rolling panel can be square, round or other shapes. The rolling panel is made of a low friction coefficient material, such as a stainless steel plate.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: The elastic single-sided flat plate rolling isolation bearing is constructed by installing the lower connecting plate and the upper connecting plate to corresponding positions. When displacement occurs between the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate, the balls are rotated inside the arc-shaped groove, and a gap is left between the fixed plate and the rolling panel to ensure that there is no mechanical obstruction when the balls roll. The elastic adjustment component can provide horizontal initial stiffness and vertical deformation adjustment. The balls and the rolling panel can roll freely to extend the building structure period, thereby isolating seismic energy. Compared with traditional isolation rubber bearings LRB and LNR, the horizontal stiffness is smaller, The period of the seismic isolation structure system is extended longer, which makes the seismic isolation effect better. Compared with the commonly used plane sliding / plate bearings at this stage, its friction coefficient is less than 0.005, which is about one tenth of the friction coefficient of 0.04 of the plane sliding bearing. This has a better seismic isolation effect. In the prior art, LRB and LNR reduce the horizontal stiffness of the isolator through the elastic deformation of the material, and the sliding / plate bearing reduces the force of the upper structure by sliding the slider on the sliding surface. The rolling bearing of the present invention reduces the force of the upper structure by rolling the steel ball on the rolling surface, thereby providing the seismic isolation effect of the seismic isolation bearing and stability in use.

[0012] Whether it is a flat sliding support or the rolling support of the present application, due to the inability to self-reset, it must be used with a seismic isolation support or a reset device with a reset function, but the vertical stiffness of the existing rolling support on the market is more than ten times the vertical stiffness of LRB and LNR, which will cause the pressure of the rolling support and the connected components to increase rapidly under vertical seismic action, resulting in the destruction of the rolling support and the connected components, and the safety of the structure. Its practical application value is limited. The hybrid support of the present application has low vertical stiffness and can be directly used with LRB and LNR in actual engineering.

[0020] An embodiment of the present invention provides an elastic single-sided flat rolling isolation bearing, comprising an elastic adjustment component, a ball 1, a fixed plate 2, a rolling panel 3 and a lower connecting plate 4.
