Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration isolation bearings for wine jars, and more particularly to a flexible vibration isolation system for wine jars. Background Art

[0002] Wine jars in distilleries are made of various materials, primarily earthenware, ceramic, and glass. While these materials are suitable for storing wine, they are extremely fragile under earthquakes. Under the impact of seismic waves, wine jars are prone to developing micro-cracks, tipping over, colliding with other jars, and shifting horizontally on the floor. In extreme cases, jars may even be thrown into the air. These events can cause the jars to shatter instantly. Cellars and warehouses where wine jars are densely packed become the hardest hit areas. The inertial force generated by ground vibrations can cause jars to lose balance, fall from heights, or collide with each other on shelves, triggering a chain reaction of tipping over. Hundreds or even thousands of jars can shatter in succession, spilling precious wine across the floor. If exposed to open flames, this can lead to secondary disasters such as fires, further increasing the losses. Historically, every major earthquake has caused damage to wineries, especially to wine jars, resulting in significant direct economic losses. Many wineries have lost large quantities of high-quality base wine stored for many years due to earthquakes, severely impacting their production, operations, and brand reputation. To address this, a flexible wine jar seismic isolation system is proposed for placing wine jars. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a flexible wine jar vibration isolation system, which solves the problem of the lack of vibration reduction function in the placement of wine jars in the prior art.

Each of the aforementioned pillars has an upper support fixedly installed at its bottom end, each of the aforementioned upper support has a seismic isolation (vibration) bearing fixedly installed at its bottom end, and each of the aforementioned seismic isolation (vibration) bearings has a lower support fixedly installed at its bottom end.

[0005] Preferably, the bottom of each of the trays is fixedly fitted with an anti-slip silicone layer.

[0006] Preferably, a sponge wrapping layer is fixedly installed inside each of the plurality of placement grooves.

[0007] Preferably, a cap is fixedly connected between the top ends of the plurality of pillars.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. This flexible wine jar vibration isolation bracket, after placing the wine jar inside the placement groove, each wine jar corresponds to one placement groove, the placement groove is shallow groove-shaped, with raised edges and concave middle, forming a typical "egg tray" shape, wrapping and placing the wine jar to prevent displacement or sliding and tipping of the wine jar during placement. 2. This flexible wine jar vibration isolation bracket, through the operation of multiple sets of vibration isolation (vibration) supports, which not only have horizontal and vertical vibration isolation capabilities, but also vertical vibration isolation capabilities, can comprehensively reduce the adverse effects of horizontal earthquakes, vertical earthquakes and vibrations on the wine jar, and further prevent the wine jar from shaking and falling due to earthquakes.

[0013] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this invention more apparent and understandable, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this invention.

[0014] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper," "lower," "top," "bottom," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of the invention. It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be a component positioned centrally in the connection.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0016] This invention provides a flexible wine jar vibration isolation system, comprising multiple support columns 1. The system is characterized by two fixed support plates 2 connected between the support columns 1, with trays 3 fixedly connected to the top of each support plate 2. Each tray 3 has multiple placement grooves 8 at its top. Each wine jar is placed into a placement groove 8, with each jar corresponding to one groove. The placement grooves 8 are shallow, with raised edges and a concave center, forming a typical "egg tray" shape to wrap and hold the wine jar, preventing displacement or slippage during placement. Upper support blocks 4 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each support column 1, and vibration isolation bearings 5 ​​are fixedly installed at the bottom of each upper support block 4. Lower support blocks 6 are fixedly installed at the bottom of each vibration isolation bearing 5. The vibration isolation bearings 5 ​​not only have horizontal and vertical vibration isolation capabilities but also vertical vibration isolation capabilities, providing comprehensive protection against the adverse effects of horizontal earthquakes, vertical earthquakes, and vibrations on the wine jar, further preventing the wine jar from shaking and falling due to earthquakes.

[0017] It should also be noted that the bottom of each of the multiple trays 3 is fixedly equipped with an anti-slip silicone layer, and the lower support 6 is fixedly connected to the ground or foundation to improve the stability of the overall device. The interior of each of the multiple placement grooves 8 is fixedly equipped with a sponge wrapping layer to further improve the wrapping of the wine jar inside the placement groove 8. The tops of the multiple support pillars 1 are fixedly connected with a cap 7 to protect the top of the wine jar and prevent items from falling and causing damage to the top of the jar.

[0018] This flexible wine jar seismic isolation bracket, in practical use, places the wine jars into the placement grooves 8. Each wine jar corresponds to one placement groove 8, which is a shallow groove with raised edges and a concave center, forming a typical "egg tray" shape to wrap and hold the wine jars, preventing displacement or slippage during placement. It also employs a base seismic isolation system, that is, installing seismic isolation bearings 5 ​​between the superstructure and the foundation. By extending the natural vibration period of the structure, it reduces the horizontal seismic response of the structure, providing protection for the wine jars. It not only has horizontal and vertical seismic isolation capabilities, but also vertical vibration isolation capabilities, which can fully protect and reduce the adverse effects of horizontal earthquakes, vertical earthquakes and vibrations on wine jars, and further prevent wine jars from shaking and falling due to earthquakes. The material of tray 3 can be fiber-reinforced foamed concrete (FRC), which is lightweight, has controllable strength, is easy to construct, and has a certain degree of elasticity, making it suitable for the overall casting of standard seismic isolation units. The contact surface between the bracket and the support plate 2 is coated with a release agent to ensure that tray 3 can be completely removed during maintenance. The seismic isolation (vibration) support 5 can adopt three-dimensional vibration dual-control support, rubber seismic isolation support, etc.

[0019] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
