Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction engineering technology, and more specifically, to a rapidly assembled integrated seismic observation room and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Earthquake observation is divided into two categories: seismological observation and geophysical observation. Seismological observation mainly uses instruments to record waveform data of natural or non-natural earthquakes to determine core parameters such as the time of occurrence, epicenter location, focal depth, and magnitude, while providing data support for earthquake early warning and post-earthquake intensity classification. Earthquake geophysical observation, on the other hand, uses various specialized instruments to collect relevant geophysical field information and, based on the dynamic changes in the field data, conducts earthquake prediction and forecasting research and related scientific work. Conducting earthquake observation requires the construction of earthquake observation rooms. Traditional earthquake observation rooms are built for long-term observation and generally use brick-concrete structures, resulting in complex construction procedures, high technical requirements, long construction time, and high construction costs.

[0003] With rapid economic development, the demand for earthquake prediction, forecasting, and early warning services from governments at all levels and the public continues to rise. To obtain continuous, stable, and reliable earthquake observation data, seismic stations are often built in remote locations away from interference from railways, highways, mining areas, and densely populated areas. In recent years, the state has continuously increased its support for earthquake monitoring, the seismic observation network has been continuously densified, and the demand for building earthquake observation rooms has been increasing.

[0004] According to Chinese Publication No. CN107143156A, a rapidly assembled and recyclable earthquake observation chamber includes a lower body and an upper body stacked together, and a top cover covering the upper body. Both the lower body and the upper body are formed by splicing two semi-cylinders. This invention has a simple structure, strong practicality, is lightweight and high-strength, is easy to assemble, has a simple and quick construction method, does not require the cooperation of large machinery for installation, saves a lot of labor and construction costs, and significantly shortens the construction cycle.

[0005] The above application enables the rapid construction of an earthquake observation room. However, this quick-assembly and recyclable earthquake observation room is suitable for short-term or temporary earthquake observation. The room is damp, and long-term observation will affect the performance and accuracy of the instruments. Furthermore, the observation room is small after construction, making it inconvenient to operate the instruments.

[0006] Therefore, to address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a rapidly assembled integrated earthquake observation room to meet the requirements. This invention breaks with the traditional technical approach to earthquake observation room construction, solving problems such as high construction costs, long construction periods, large quantities of construction materials, difficult transportation, and inconvenience for field construction. The construction period is reduced from tens of days to within ten days, significantly shortening the construction time and lowering construction costs. Simultaneously, it ensures that environmental factors such as temperature and wind disturbance do not affect the quality of earthquake observations. Furthermore, the observation room is constructed using steel main columns, frame beams, embossed metal panels, rock wool, and other materials, which are high-strength, corrosion-resistant, and environmentally friendly, meeting green environmental protection requirements. This patent can serve as a demonstration and guide for future earthquake observation room construction, possessing significant reference value and application potential, with substantial social and economic benefits. Summary of the Invention

[0007] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, this invention provides a rapidly assembled integrated seismic observation room and its construction method. The main body of the observation room is formed by combining wall panel components with various frame beams. Rock wool is filled in the middle of the wall panel components to give them high strength and stability, and to ensure that the temperature difference in the room does not change significantly. At the same time, the wall components can be easily assembled and disassembled, and are easy to transport, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: An integrated seismic observation room for rapid assembly includes a reinforced concrete foundation and a foundation base. The foundation base is located on top of the reinforced concrete foundation, and a column is mounted on top of the foundation base. A connecting stud is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column, and the connecting stud is threadedly connected to the foundation base. A first bottom frame beam and a second bottom frame beam are provided at the bottom end of the column. The first bottom frame beam and the second bottom frame beam are distributed at right angles on the outer side of the column. Frame beam bolts are inserted into the first bottom frame beam and are threadedly connected to the foundation base. A first connecting bolt is inserted into the inside of the column and is threadedly connected to the first bottom frame beam. A side wall assembly is provided on top of the first bottom frame beam, and the side wall assembly consists of multiple movable wall panels.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, each of the plurality of movable wall panels is fixedly connected with a flexible connector, and every two flexible connectors are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center plane of the movable wall panel.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable wall panel, and a connecting groove is provided at the bottom of the movable wall panel.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, both ends of the movable wall panel are slidably connected to side fixing plates, and a column slot is provided on one side of the column. The side fixing plates are inserted into the inner side of the column slot, and a connecting spring is fixedly connected to the side of the side fixing plates away from the column slot. The connecting spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the movable wall panel.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a shaft is fixedly connected inside the movable wall panel, and a transmission component is rotatably connected to the outside of the shaft. The transmission component is arranged in an abutting position with the side fixed insert plate.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a transmission top block is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, and the transmission top block is arranged in an abutting position with the transmission component.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, a second connecting bolt is inserted into the interior of the column, and the second connecting bolt is threadedly connected to the second bottom frame beam. A front wall assembly is provided on the top of the second bottom frame beam, a top frame beam is provided on the top of the column, a roof component is provided on the top of the top frame beam, and a water guiding component is provided on the top of the roof component.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the front wall assembly has a door panel inside, and the side wall assembly has a ventilation window inside.

[0016] This invention also provides a construction method for a rapidly assembled integrated seismic observation room, comprising the following steps: S1. The design is based on the site conditions, and different construction methods are adopted for different foundation types; S2. Excavate a suitable foundation for the observation room on site and pour a reinforced concrete foundation in one go; S3. Assemble and fix the foundation base, columns, first bottom frame beam, and second bottom frame beam; S4. Assemble and fix the side wall components and the front wall components, and open the basic outline of the door panel and ventilation window at the appropriate positions of the side wall components and the front wall components, and install the door panel and ventilation window; S5. Use hoisting equipment to assemble and fix the top frame beams, roof components, and water-guiding components, and take comprehensive sealing measures.

[0017] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows: 1. This invention constructs the core frame of the observation room by setting up columns, a first bottom frame beam, and a second bottom frame beam, and fixing and connecting them with bolts. After the core frame of the observation room is built and fixed, the core strength of the observation room can be guaranteed to ensure the stability after the construction is completed. After completion, the observation room is spacious and convenient for operating instruments. At the same time, the various structures are assembled by means of assembly, which facilitates the construction and subsequent disassembly of the observation room. Moreover, each of the above components is a long strip structure when it is independent, which facilitates transportation. 2. By setting up a side wall assembly, since multiple movable wall panels are connected by flexible connectors with good flexibility, when the multiple movable wall panels are in a separated state, the multiple movable wall panels can be rolled up to make the side wall assembly into a cylindrical state. This allows the overall outline of the side wall assembly to be adjusted to a cylindrical shape, which facilitates the transportation and storage of the side wall assembly and improves the flexibility during transportation and storage. The wall structure is formed by interlocking multiple movable wall panels. At the same time, the flexible connectors will shrink and seal the gaps between adjacent movable wall panels to ensure the airtightness of the wall and prevent indoor moisture. When multiple movable wall panels are interlocked, the side fixing plate will extend and insert into the inside of the column slot to realize the connection between the side wall assembly and the column, so as to ensure the stability of the side wall assembly after installation. This allows the observation room to achieve high strength and stability after construction, and it can be easily assembled and disassembled. It also facilitates the construction and disassembly of the observation room, and makes it easy to transport and transfer the main components, thus meeting various practical needs.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. 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.

[0021] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1-7 As shown in the figure, an integrated seismic observation room for rapid assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a reinforced concrete foundation 1 and a foundation base 2. The foundation base 2 is located on top of the reinforced concrete foundation 1, which is located within the foundation. A column 3 is located on top of the foundation base 2, and a connecting stud 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the column 3. The connecting stud 4 and the foundation base 2 are connected by a thread. A first bottom frame beam 5 and a second bottom frame beam 8 are located at the bottom end of the column 3. Multiple columns 3, first bottom frame beams 5, and second bottom frame beams 8 are provided. The first bottom frame beams 5 and second bottom frame beams 8 are distributed at right angles on the outside of the column 3. Frame beam bolts 6 are inserted into the interior of the first bottom frame beams 5 and second bottom frame beams 8. The base 2 is threaded, and the column 3 is internally connected to a first connecting bolt 7, which is threaded to the first bottom frame beam 5. A side wall assembly 10 is installed on the top of the first bottom frame beam 5. A second connecting bolt 9 is internally connected to the column 3, which is threaded to the second bottom frame beam 8. A front wall assembly 11 is installed on the top of the second bottom frame beam 8. The side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11 have the same structure. A door panel 21 is installed inside the front wall assembly 11. A ventilation window 24 is installed inside the side wall assembly 10. A top frame beam 26 is installed on the top of the column 3. A roof component 22 is installed on the top of the top frame beam 26. A water guide component 23 is installed on the top of the roof component 22.

[0022] It should be noted that the core frame of the observation room is formed by multiple columns 3, a first bottom frame beam 5, and a second bottom frame beam 8. The columns 3 and the first bottom frame beam 5 can be connected to the foundation base 2 by connecting studs 4 and frame beam bolts 6. The columns 3, the first bottom frame beam 5, and the second bottom frame beam 8 are connected by first connecting bolts 7 and second connecting bolts 9. This achieves the construction and fixation of the core frame of the observation room, thereby ensuring the core strength of the observation room and ensuring its stability after construction. At the same time, the various structures are assembled by means of assembly, which facilitates the construction and subsequent disassembly of the observation room. Moreover, each of the above components is a long strip structure when it is in an independent state, which facilitates transportation.

[0023] Furthermore, the side wall assembly 10 is composed of multiple movable wall panels 12, with rock wool filling the middle of the 12 to reduce the range of indoor temperature changes and meet the needs of earthquake observation. Each of the multiple movable wall panels 12 is fixedly connected with a flexible connector 27. The flexible connector 27 is made of a relatively soft plastic material, while the movable wall panels 12 are made of a relatively hard plastic material. The connection between the multiple movable wall panels 12 is achieved through the flexible connector 27, so that the multiple movable wall panels 12 can be rolled up with the flexible connector 27 as the bending point when they are separated. At the same time, both the movable wall panels 12 and the flexible connector 27 can be cut to provide space for the installation of the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24. The flexible connector 27 can also achieve sealing between the multiple movable wall panels 12. Every two flexible connectors 27 are symmetrically distributed about the vertical center plane of the movable wall panel 12.

[0024] A connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable wall panel 12. A connecting groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the movable wall panel 12. The inner contour of the connecting groove 14 matches the outer contour of the connecting plate 13. Side fixing plates 15 are slidably connected to both ends of the movable wall panel 12. A column slot 17 is provided on one side of the column 3. The side fixing plate 15 is inserted into the inner side of the column slot 17. A connecting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the side of the side fixing plate 15 away from the column slot 17. 6 is an elastic structure made of plastic. The connecting spring 16 is elastically set so that the side fixed plate 15 can be reset after sliding displacement. The connecting spring 16 is fixedly connected to the inside of the movable wall plate 12. The inside of the movable wall plate 12 is fixedly connected to the shaft 18. The outside of the shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the transmission component 19. The transmission component 19 is set in an abutting position with the side fixed plate 15. The top of the connecting plate 13 is fixedly connected to the transmission top block 20. The transmission top block 20 is set in an abutting position with the transmission component 19.

[0025] It should be noted that, since the multiple movable wall panels 12 are connected by flexible connectors 27, and the flexible connectors 27 have good flexibility, when the multiple movable wall panels 12 are in a separated state, the multiple movable wall panels 12 can be rolled up to make the side wall assembly 10 into a cylindrical state. This allows the overall outline of the side wall assembly 10 to be adjusted to a cylindrical outline, which facilitates the transportation and storage of the side wall assembly 10 and improves the flexibility during transportation and storage. When assembling the side wall assembly 10, the bottom movable wall panel 12 is inserted into the column 3, and the connecting groove 14 of the upper movable wall panel 12 is inserted into the connecting plate 13 of the lower movable wall panel 12 one by one, thereby realizing the direct connection between multiple movable wall panels 12, and shaping the side wall assembly 10 so that it gradually becomes closer to the wall structure. At the same time, the soft connector 27 will shrink and seal the gap between adjacent movable wall panels 12 to ensure the airtightness of the wall. Simultaneously, when connecting adjacent movable wall panels 12, when the connecting groove 14 is inserted into the connecting plate 13 of another movable wall panel 12, the transmission top block 20 at the top of the lower connecting plate 13 will contact the transmission component 19 inside the upper movable wall panel 12. The transmission top block 20 will push the transmission component 19, causing the transmission component 19 to rotate around the shaft 18. While the transmission component 19 is rotating, it will push the side fixing plate 15 to one side of the column 3. At the same time, the connecting spring 16 will be stretched until the side fixing plate 15 is inserted into the inside of the column slot 17, thereby realizing the connection between the side wall assembly 10 and the column 3 to ensure the stability of the side wall assembly 10 after installation. Then, the front wall assembly 11 is installed in the same way as above.

[0026] After the side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11 are installed, the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24 are installed. Since the side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11 are made of plastic, the outline of the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24 can be cut out by a cutting device before the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24 are installed. This eliminates the need to prefabricate the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24, which is convenient for manufacturing. The plastic structure of the side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11 reduces the difficulty of cutting, and the on-site cutting method makes it easy to adjust the position of the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24 according to the needs of the site.

[0027] After hoisting the top frame beam 26, roof components 22, and water guide components 23 in sequence, the observation room can be completed. When dismantling and recycling the observation room later, the above operations can be reversed to complete the dismantling of the observation room.

[0028] This invention also provides a construction method for a rapidly assembled integrated seismic observation room, comprising the following steps: S1. The design is based on the site conditions, and different construction methods are adopted for different foundation types; S2. Excavate a suitable foundation for the observation room on the site and pour a reinforced concrete foundation 1 in one go; S3. Assemble and fix the foundation base 2, column 3, first bottom frame beam 5, and second bottom frame beam 8; S4. Assemble and fix the side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11, and open the basic outline of the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24 at appropriate positions on the side wall assembly 10 and the front wall assembly 11, and install the door panel 21 and the ventilation window 24. S5. Use hoisting equipment to assemble and fix the top frame beam 26, roof components 22, and water guiding components 23, and take comprehensive sealing measures.

[0029] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
