Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of ancient building wooden structure reinforcement, and specifically discloses a wooden structure truss reinforcement system with composite energy dissipation and self-resetting. Background Technology

[0002] The pavilion-style wooden structure is a typical form of ancient Chinese architecture, such as... Figure 1 As shown, a tube-in-tube structure system is typically formed by connecting inner and outer groove columns with mortise and tenon joints. However, this structure has obvious weaknesses in earthquake resistance: mortise and tenon joints are used to connect the upper and lower ends of the columns, and the lateral connection between the inner and outer groove columns is weak, mainly relying on the purlins in the upper brackets for limited constraint. The connection between the brackets and the purlins becomes a weak point, resulting in poor overall structural integrity. Under earthquake loads, this structure is prone to overturning along the inner and outer groove directions.

[0003] Existing reinforcement methods mostly employ inter-column bracing, which, while improving lateral stiffness, severely restricts the normal usability of building passageways. The swaying motion of wooden columns during an earthquake can convert some seismic energy into gravitational potential energy, thus achieving self-resetting. The installation of inter-column bracing also inhibits the swaying self-resetting ability of the wooden columns. Therefore, a reinforcement system is needed that can both enhance energy dissipation and effectively preserve the usability of building passageways in the attic-style wooden structure, as well as the swaying self-resetting function of the wooden columns.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 2-5 and Figure 12 , 13 As shown, this embodiment provides a timber truss reinforcement system with composite energy dissipation and self-resetting capabilities, including a timber upper beam 1, a timber lower beam 2, a viscous damping device 3, a spring device 4, and a friction energy dissipation device 5; the timber upper beam 1 is used to connect two adjacent purlins 13; the timber lower beam 2 is parallel to the timber upper beam 1 and is used to connect two adjacent timber columns 14; as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the viscous damping device 3 includes a pull rod I 301, a sleeve I 302, a damping fluid storage container, a damping fluid 303, a piston I 304, and a piston rod I 305; the damping fluid storage container is fixed inside the sleeve I 302, and the damping fluid storage container is filled with damping fluid 303; the piston I 304 is placed in the damping fluid 303 and is slidably connected to the damping fluid storage container; the pull rod I 301 and the piston rod I 305 are located on both sides of the sleeve I 302; the pull rod I 301 is connected to the sleeve I 302, and a pull ring is provided at the end outside the sleeve I 302; one end of the piston rod I 305 passes through the sleeve I 302 and the damping fluid storage container and is connected to the piston I 304, and a pull ring is provided at the other end; Figure 7 As shown, the spring device 4 includes a pull rod II 401, a sleeve II 402, a spring 403, a piston II 404, and a piston rod II 405; the piston II 404 is placed inside the sleeve II 402 and is slidably connected to the sleeve II 402; a spring connection point is provided inside the sleeve II 402; both ends of the spring 403 are connected to the spring connection point and the piston II 404 respectively; the pull rod II 401 and the piston rod II 405 are located on both sides of the sleeve II 402; the pull rod II 401 is connected to the sleeve II 402, and a pull ring is provided at the end outside the sleeve II 402; one end of the piston rod II 405 passes through the sleeve II 402 and is connected to the piston II 404, and a pull ring is provided at the other end; multiple sets of friction energy dissipation devices 5 are slidably sleeved on the wooden lower crossbeam 2; as Figure 5 , 12 As shown in Figure 13, adjacent viscous damping devices 3 and spring devices 4 are symmetrically arranged, and the lower pull ring is rotatably connected to the same friction energy dissipation device 5 through a double-axis connector 6; two adjacent viscous damping devices 3 are symmetrically arranged, and the upper pull ring is rotatably connected to the wooden upper crossbeam 1 through a double-axis connector 6; two adjacent spring devices 4 are symmetrically arranged, and the upper pull ring is rotatably connected to the wooden upper crossbeam 1 through a double-axis connector 6; the outermost pull ring is rotatably connected to the wooden upper crossbeam 1 through a single-axis connector 7.

[0040] Among them, "outermost pull ring" refers to the pull ring of the outermost device, whether it is the viscous damping device 3 or the spring device 4, which is not connected to the adjacent device.

[0041] The design principles for the viscous damping device 3 and the spring device 4 are:

[0042] (1) Both devices should be symmetrically arranged along the vertical central axis of the pavilion-style wooden structure, such as Figure 5 , 12 As shown in Figure 13. During an earthquake, the wooden structure of the attic will sway from side to side. To ensure that the reinforcement system acts in a consistent manner when swaying to the left and right, the combination of the viscous damping device 3 and the spring device 4 must be arranged symmetrically.

[0043] (2) The two devices should be evenly arranged on the diagonal members of the truss, because the function of the spring device 4 is to provide restoring force, and the function of the viscous damping device 3 is to provide resistance and energy dissipation. The characteristic of the truss structure is that the diagonal members are alternately subjected to tension and compression. Therefore, the same device needs to be arranged on the tension members and also on the compression members to ensure that when the tension members are in action, the spring 403 exerts tension (i.e., the spring 403 acts as a tension spring), and when the compression members are in action, the spring 403 acts as a compression spring (i.e., the spring 403 acts as a compression spring). The same applies to the viscous damping device 3.

[0044] (3) For the two devices to synchronize the sliding displacement of all friction energy dissipation devices 5, the two inclined rods connected to each friction energy dissipation device 5 must simultaneously include a viscous damping device 3 and a spring device 4. If the two inclined rods are of the same type, the sliding displacement of the friction energy dissipation devices 5 will be inconsistent, which will lead to serious deformation of the overall system.

[0045] A wooden upper crossbeam 1 is added between two adjacent purlins 13 to form a rigid connection, effectively restraining the relative rotation of the purlins 13. This allows the swaying part of the pavilion-style wooden structure during an earthquake to shift from the top of the purlins 13 to the top of the wooden columns 14, thereby eliminating the weak link at the connection between the brackets and the purlins 13. The two adjacent wooden columns 14 are further reinforced by the addition of a wooden lower crossbeam 2, significantly improving the lateral stiffness, load-bearing capacity, and energy dissipation capacity of the pavilion-style wooden structure.

[0046] The damping fluid 303 has a high viscosity, which allows it to dissipate input energy as heat during compression. Therefore, the core function of the viscous damping device 3 is to continuously dissipate energy by generating resistance through the fluid viscosity effect. In other words, the role of the viscous damping device 3 is to convert mechanical energy into heat energy for effective dissipation. The spring device 4 mainly provides the elastic restoring force that enables the attic-style wooden structure to self-reset.

[0047] like Figure 5As shown, when the entire wooden structure swings to the left, the upper wooden beam 1 and the lower wooden beam 2 move to the left with different amplitudes. Because the upper wooden beam 1 is higher, it moves to the left more. At this time, the spring 403 of the left-side spring device 4 is stretched, applying a continuous pulling force, driving the left-side friction energy dissipation device 5 to move to the left. This causes the piston I 304 inside the left-side viscous damping device 3 to move in the damping fluid 303 and compress the damping fluid 303, converting mechanical energy into heat energy for effective dissipation. Simultaneously, the spring 403 of the right-side spring device 4 is compressed, driving the right-side friction energy dissipation device 5 to move to the left, generating friction energy dissipation. This action pushes the piston I 304 inside the right-side viscous damping device 3 to move in the damping fluid 303 and compress the damping fluid 303, dissipating mechanical energy. As the overall structure begins to reset, the spring 403 of the left-side spring device 4 gradually compresses. The resulting pressure causes the left-side friction energy dissipation device 5 to move to the right, continuously generating frictional energy dissipation during this process. Simultaneously, the piston I 304 inside the left-side viscous damping device 3 moves in the opposite direction, squeezing the damping fluid 303 and continuing to dissipate residual energy by converting mechanical energy into heat energy. At the same time, the spring 403 of the right-side spring device 4 stretches, driving the right-side friction energy dissipation device 5 to move to the right. This action pushes the piston I 304 inside the right-side viscous damping device 3 to move in the opposite direction within the damping fluid 303, continuing to squeeze the damping fluid 303. The entire reinforcement system dissipates energy through a combination of friction and viscous damping mechanisms.

[0049] The lengths of pull rod I 301 and pull rod II 401 can be adjusted by threading to accommodate different distances between the upper wooden beam 1 and the lower wooden beam 2.

[0050] like Figure 6 As shown, in the above-mentioned composite energy dissipation and self-resetting timber truss reinforcement system, the damping fluid storage container includes a cylinder 307 and end plates 308 fixed at both ends of the cylinder 307; the end plates 308 are fixedly connected to the sleeve I 302; both the cylinder 307 and the sleeve I 302 are provided with damping fluid replacement ports 309.

[0051] like Figure 7As shown, in the above-mentioned timber truss reinforcement system with composite energy dissipation and self-resetting, a spring connecting plate 407 is provided inside the sleeve II 402. The spring connecting plate 407 is parallel to the piston II 404, and the spring connection point is located on the spring connecting plate 407.

The web plates II of the two connecting frames II 502 respectively contact the friction-reducing plates 9 on both sides of the timber lower crossbeam 2 to reduce friction between them and avoid interfering with the normal operation of the friction energy dissipation plates. In this embodiment, the friction-reducing plates 9 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).

[0054] Friction energy dissipation devices 5, friction energy dissipation plates II 8, and friction-reducing plates 9 can be flexibly installed at different positions on the wooden lower crossbeam 2 according to actual needs, thereby achieving overall adjustment of energy dissipation capacity. By adjusting the friction coefficient of friction energy dissipation plates I 504 and II 8 or replacing different types of damping fluid 303, the energy dissipation performance of the system can also be precisely controlled.
