Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a seismic isolation system consisting of a T-shaped wooden column, a steel spherical crown component, a graphite-doped steel bead layer, and a concave spherical surface with limiting along the column base stone, belonging to the field of seismic isolation technology in civil engineering. Background Technology

[0002] Timber structures offer excellent earthquake resistance and thermal insulation, and have a short construction period. In recent years, timber-framed houses have seen a gradual increase in their proportion in new construction due to their advantages such as environmental friendliness, energy efficiency, and high construction efficiency. Timber structures in cultural and tourism buildings exhibit diverse shapes, employing round, square, L-shaped, T-shaped, and cross-shaped wooden columns depending on the building's structural requirements and load-bearing capacity. However, with the increasing scarcity of large-diameter timber resources, the use of traditional large-diameter round or square columns in timber structures is limited by the availability of larger-diameter logs. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical objective of this invention is to propose a seismic isolation system consisting of a T-shaped wooden column, a steel spherical crown component, a graphite-doped steel bead layer, and a concave spherical base stone with limiting edge, primarily used for seismic isolation and self-resetting of the base of a T-shaped wooden column in a timber structure. This system comprises a T-shaped wooden column, three steel spherical crown components, three concave spherical base stones with limiting edge, a graphite-doped steel bead layer, and three annular tempered glass sealing plates. The T-shaped wooden column is composed of three column legs formed by connecting four round logs through square timber ladders and bamboo plywood. The steel spherical crown component is welded from a steel spherical crown, an annular steel cover plate, a steel plate hoop, and a round steel pipe. The graphite-doped steel bead layer reduces the friction between the steel spherical crown and the concave spherical surface of the base stone. The concave spherical surface of the base stone allows the T-shaped wooden column to self-reset after an earthquake, and the limiting edge of the base stone restricts excessive displacement of the base of the T-shaped wooden column during vibration. The annular tempered glass sealing plates provide a waterproof seal. This seismic isolation system has the advantages of reducing the seismic force on the superstructure by isolating the base of the T-shaped wooden columns and achieving structural toughness and seismic resistance through self-resetting after an earthquake.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is a T-shaped wooden column-steel ball crown component-graphite-coated steel ball layer-seismic isolation system along the column base stone, including a T-shaped wooden column. The T-shaped wooden column is set at the middle connection node of the wooden frame house, and the axis of the T-shaped wooden column is consistent with the axis of the wall panel of the wooden frame house.

[0005] It also includes hollow steel spherical crown components and concave spherical limit stones along the column base; the T-shaped wooden column includes three T-shaped wooden column legs and bamboo plywood covering both sides of the T-shaped wooden column legs; two T-shaped wooden column legs are arranged along the length to form a straight section, one T-shaped wooden column leg is a vertical section, the vertical section is arranged vertically along the midpoint of the straight section, and the three T-shaped wooden column legs form a T-shaped structure.

[0006] Each T-shaped wooden column is composed of end round logs, intersection round logs, and multiple square timber ladders connected between them; each square timber ladder is connected by two parallel column frame members; the square timber ladders between each T-shaped wooden column are staggered; the three T-shaped wooden column members share the intersection round log; the end round logs, square timber ladders, and intersection round logs of the T-shaped wooden column members are connected by mortise and tenon joints, and bamboo plywood is connected to the T-shaped wooden column members by self-tapping screws; the bottom of the three end round logs is placed on three concave spherical base stones with limiting edges; the T-shaped wooden column is connected to the hollow steel ball crown member by upper and lower embedded connection; the upper part of the concave spherical base stone with limiting edge has a groove, and the groove is vertically processed into a concave spherical surface, the circumference of the concave spherical surface is a circular limiting edge, and the T-shaped wooden column is sealed to the circular limiting edge by a ring tempered glass sealing plate; the surface of the concave spherical surface is filled with a layer of graphite-doped steel beads.

[0007] The bottom center of the T-shaped wooden column has a round hole at the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column leg; the hollow steel spherical crown is formed by welding a steel spherical crown and a circular steel plate hoop together; the surface of the steel spherical crown is a convex spherical structure corresponding to the concave spherical surface, and the curvature of the convex spherical surface is equal to that of the concave spherical surface; the circular steel plate hoop covers and embeds the outer surface of the T-shaped wooden column; a horizontally arranged annular steel cover plate is provided between the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column and the steel spherical crown, and a round steel pipe is vertically welded in the middle of the annular steel cover plate, the bottom of the round steel pipe being welded to the surface of the steel spherical crown; the inside of the round steel pipe is filled with embedded hard round wood; the round steel pipe is embedded and connected to the round hole at the bottom of the round wood leg of the T-shaped wooden column.

[0008] The T-shaped wooden post is composed of three round logs at the ends of the three column members, round logs at the intersection of the column members, square timber ladders, and bamboo plywood covering both sides of the square timber ladders. The T-shaped post has four round logs: the three end logs and the round logs at the intersection of the column members, which serve as the common edge components of the three column members. After the end logs, square timber ladders, and intersection logs of the three column members are joined by mortise and tenon joints, the square timber ladders are covered on both sides with bamboo plywood and connected with self-tapping screws. The square timbers of the ladders are spaced approximately 300mm apart, with a cross-sectional width of 1 / 3 the diameter of the round log and a cross-sectional height of twice the cross-sectional width. A circular hole with a diameter not less than 1 / 2 the diameter of the round log and a depth not less than 1.5 times the diameter is machined in the center of the bottom of the three end logs of the T-shaped post. The bottoms of the three end logs rest on three column base stones.

[0009] The steel spherical crown component is constructed by welding a steel spherical crown, an annular steel cover plate, a steel plate hoop, and a round steel tube passing through a hole in the center of the annular steel cover plate. Hardwood, such as oak or ebony, is embedded inside the round steel tube. The outer diameter of the round steel tube matches the diameter of the hole in the annular steel cover plate and the diameter of the bottom hole in the round wood at the three ends of the T-shaped wooden column. The height of the round steel tube above the annular steel cover plate is equal to the depth of the bottom hole in the round wood. The curvature of the steel spherical crown is equal to the curvature of the concave spherical surface of the column base stone. All steel used is 304 stainless steel. The forming process involves first symmetrically placing the round steel tubes at the bottom of the steel spherical crown and welding them together. Then, the annular steel cover plate is fitted onto the round steel tube and welded to both the round steel tube and the periphery of the steel spherical crown. Next, the steel plate hoop is symmetrically placed on the upper part of the annular steel cover plate and welded along its periphery. Finally, the hardwood is coated with structural adhesive and embedded in the steel tube, flush with the round steel tube.

[0010] The connection between the steel ball crown component and the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column is achieved by applying structural adhesive to the surface of the steel pipe of the three steel ball crown components that protrude above the annular steel cover plate, the upper surface of the annular steel cover plate, and the inner surface of the steel plate hoop. The steel ball crown components are then embedded into the bottom of the round wood at the ends of the three column limbs of the T-shaped wooden column to achieve the connection between the two. After the connection, the steel plate hoop of the three steel ball crown components forms a constraint on the bottom of the round wood at the ends of the three column limbs of the T-shaped wooden column to prevent cracking.

[0011] The concave spherical column base stone is a round, drum-shaped, or square column base stone with a cylindrical groove on the upper part, which is processed from granite such as bluestone and the groove is processed downward into a concave spherical surface.

[0012] The graphite-doped steel ball layer is a mixture of graphite and 304 stainless steel balls with a diameter of 2mm-3mm. The graphite acts as a lubricant, and the rolling of the steel balls reduces friction.

[0013] The aforementioned annular tempered glass cover is an 8mm thick annular tempered glass cover. A 10mm x 10mm square sponge strip is pasted around the perimeter of the annular glass cover. The sponge strip is pasted 10mm inward from the outer edge to provide space for sealing with glass glue. The square sponge strip serves to prevent the annular tempered glass from colliding with the limiting edge of the column base stone during the sliding process of the bottom of the wooden column. During construction, first insert the three ring-shaped tempered glass end plates into the bottom of the round logs at the three column ends of the T-shaped wooden column at a height of about 300mm (the height of the bottom of the round logs at the three column ends of the T-shaped wooden column corresponds to the height of the bottom of the bamboo plywood). Then, use four symmetrically arranged self-tapping screws on the round logs below the three ring-shaped tempered glass end plates to connect them to the round logs and support the three ring-shaped tempered glass end plates. After the seismic isolation system is installed, remove the self-tapping screws and small wooden blocks and lower the three ring-shaped tempered glass end plates into place. Then, seal the joints between the three ring-shaped tempered glass end plates and the corresponding round logs, as well as the positions of the square sponge strips that contact the corresponding concave spherical limiters along the column base stone, with glass glue.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention relates to a T-shaped wooden column-steel spherical crown-graphite-doped steel bead layer-concave spherical band limiting seismic isolation system along the column base stone, which has the following advantages: (1) The steel ball crown and concave spherical limit along the column base stone of the T-shaped wooden column-steel ball crown-graphite-doped steel bead layer-concave spherical limit along the column base stone of the present invention can be standardized in design and industrialized in preparation. The assembly and construction are convenient and easy to promote and apply.

[0015] (2) The steel ball crown of the seismic isolation system is made of 304 stainless steel, the concave spherical surface with limiter along the column base stone is made of granite such as bluestone, and the graphite mixed with 304 stainless steel beads has stable physical and chemical properties and good durability.

[0016] (3) The graphite-doped steel ball layer of the seismic isolation system can reduce the friction between the steel ball cap and the concave spherical surface of the column base stone. The concave spherical surface of the column base stone has the function of self-resetting of the T-shaped wooden column under its own weight after the earthquake. The column base stone limiter has the function of limiting the excessive displacement of the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column during the earthquake. The seismic isolation system has the function of reducing the seismic effect of the superstructure by isolating the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column and can self-reset after the earthquake, thus achieving structural toughness and seismic resistance.

Example

[0032] T-shaped wooden column - steel spherical crown component - graphite-doped steel bead layer - concave spherical surface with limiting along the column base stone - annular tempered glass sealing plate seismic isolation system ( Figure 1 T-shaped wooden column structure ( Figure 2 ), steel ball crown component ( Figure 3 ), concave spherical surface with limiting along the column base stone ( Figure 4): 1.

[0033] The T-shaped wooden column 1 is composed of the column legs 3 of the T-shaped wooden column.

[0034] The column limb 3 of the T-shaped wooden column is composed of end round logs 4, intersection round logs 5, and bamboo plywood 8 covering both sides of the square timber ladder 7. The end round logs 4, the square timber ladder 7, and the intersection round logs 5 are connected by mortise and tenon joints. Each square timber ladder 7 is connected by two parallel column limb frames 3.

[0035] The end round log 4 and the intersection round log 5 are made of pine or other logs.

[0036] The circular hole 6 at the bottom of the round log at the end of the T-shaped wooden column is a circular hole with a diameter not less than 1 / 2 the diameter of the round log and a depth not less than 1.5 times the diameter of the round log, which is machined in the middle of the bottom of the round log at the end of the T-shaped wooden column.

[0037] The aforementioned square timber ladder 7 is a ladder-shaped square timber with a distribution spacing of approximately 300mm, a cross-sectional width of 1 / 3 of the diameter of a round log, and a cross-sectional height of twice the cross-sectional width. The square timber is made of wood such as pine.

[0038] The bamboo plywood 8 is a bamboo plywood board connected with self-tapping screws covering both sides of the square wooden ladder frame of the T-shaped wooden column. The bamboo plywood board is a multi-layer composite board made of moso bamboo as raw material, which is softened at high temperature, rolled flat, glued and laminated, and then formed by high pressure molding process.

[0039] The steel ball crown component 9 is welded together from a steel ball crown 10, an annular steel cover plate 11, a steel plate hoop 12, and a round steel pipe 13 passing through the central hole of the annular steel cover plate.

It is laid between the concave spherical surface 17 of the concave spherical base stone 16 and the steel ball crown 10. The graphite plays a lubricating role, and the rolling of the steel balls reduces the friction.

[0041] The concave spherical limiting edge column base stone 16 is a round pier-shaped column base stone, drum-shaped column base stone, or square pier-shaped column base stone with a cylindrical groove on the upper part and the groove facing downwards as a concave spherical surface 17, and the annular limiting edge 18 formed by the upper cylindrical groove as a structural feature.

[0042] The aforementioned annular tempered glass sealing plate 19 is made by cutting ordinary annealed glass into an annular shape according to the required dimensions, heating it to near its softening point, and then rapidly and uniformly cooling it. Example

[0043] This invention proposes a technical solution for using T-shaped wooden columns made of relatively small-diameter circular timber for the side columns of timber-framed houses. The axis of the T-shaped wooden column is aligned with the axis of the wall panel, which not only meets the needs of the house's floor plan but also solves the mechanical performance requirements of using relatively small-diameter circular timber instead of relatively large-diameter circular timber for the wooden columns under compression, shear, and bending. Currently, the seismic toughness of timber structures urgently needs improvement. Toughness, also known as recoverability, describes the ability of a system to maintain and restore its original function after being disturbed. The seismic toughness of a building refers to its ability to maintain and restore its original function after being subjected to a specific level of earthquake. Improving the seismic toughness of timber structures can be achieved through seismic resistance measures, seismic isolation measures, or a combination of both. However, low-cost seismic isolation technology is severely lacking in newly constructed cultural and tourism timber structures. Therefore, the development of a seismic isolation system for T-shaped wooden columns, featuring a concave spherical surface with a limiting column base stone as a key technical characteristic, is not only necessary to ensure the seismic safety of wooden structures, but also to ensure the safety of decoration systems and water and electricity facilities under strong earthquakes. It can significantly reduce the cost of post-earthquake repairs and significantly improve the seismic toughness of wooden structures.

[0044] The T-shaped wooden column is composed of three round logs at the ends of the column members, round logs at the intersection of the column members, square wooden ladders, and bamboo plywood covering both sides of the square wooden ladders. The bottom of the round logs at the ends of the three column members rests on three column base stones. There are two structural forms: (1) The upper surface of the three column base stones is flat, and the bottom of the round logs at the ends of the three column members of the T-shaped wooden column is directly placed on the three column base stones. Under earthquake action, the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column and the column base stones form a sliding isolation structure. This structure has the advantage of reducing the transmission of earthquake action to the superstructure due to the isolation effect of the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column under earthquake action, but there is a risk of post-earthquake damage to the T-shaped wooden column. The defect that the wooden column cannot be reset after sliding is that the T-shaped wooden column cannot be reset after the earthquake, which makes the structure unable to maintain and restore its original function and has poor seismic toughness; (2) The center of the upper surface of the three column base stones is set with grooves, and the bottom of the three round woods or the bottom protruding wooden tenons at the end of the T-shaped wooden column are respectively embedded in the grooves on the upper part of the three column base stones. Under the action of earthquake, the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column and the column base stone form a non-slip seismic isolation structure. The bottom of the T-shaped wooden column cannot reduce the horizontal seismic action transmitted to the upper structure like the slip seismic isolation. Although the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column does not slip after the earthquake and remains in the original position, the seismic isolation performance is poor. The key technical challenge in improving the seismic toughness of T-shaped wooden columns lies in designing the structure between the bottom of the three round logs at the ends of the T-shaped wooden column and the three column base stones as a sliding self-resetting seismic isolation structure. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a seismic isolation system that can both slide and self-reset after an earthquake between the bottom of the three round logs at the ends of the T-shaped wooden column and the three column base stones. This system has the advantages of reducing the transmission of ground motion to the upper structure due to the seismic isolation at the bottom of the T-shaped wooden column and the structural toughness and seismic resistance advantages of self-resetting after an earthquake.

[0045] For newly constructed timber structures, the dimensions of the T-shaped timber columns, the dimensions of each component of the steel ball crown and the thickness of the steel plate, the dimensions of each part of the concave spherical limiter along the column base stone, and the diameter of the steel balls mixed with graphite steel balls are first determined according to the structural design and stress requirements. Then, the stress calculation of the seismic isolation system is performed, and the components are prepared, transported and assembled on site.

[0046] The above is a typical embodiment of the present invention, and the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.
