Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building engineering, in particular to a viscous damper for seismic reinforcement of existing buildings. Background Art

[0002] When an earthquake occurs, ground vibrations cause the structure to vibrate. Ground seismic energy is input into the structure. The structure receives a large amount of seismic energy, and energy conversion or consumption is necessary to finally stop the vibration response. Traditional building seismic reinforcement technology mainly adopts the form of "hard-on-hard" to resist or consume seismic energy. This process is not only economical but also does not fundamentally solve the problem of structural seismic resistance. The new building shock absorption reinforcement technology is different from the traditional reinforcement technology of "hard-on-hard" seismic resistance. It consumes seismic energy by using softness to overcome rigidity: its principle is to provide additional damping ratio and stiffness through the relative deformation and relative velocity of the energy dissipator, and guide the energy input into the structure to a specially set mechanism or component for absorption and dissipation to protect the safety of the main structure. Energy dissipation and shock absorption technology can reduce the seismic response of the structure by 20% to 40%, thereby increasing the seismic resistance of the structure. It is a new technology and method to reduce seismic response and earthquake damage.

[0003] Viscous damper shock absorption principle (VFD): It is made based on the principle of fluid movement, especially when the fluid passes through the throttling hole, it will produce throttling resistance. It is an energy dissipator related to the piston movement speed. When an earthquake occurs, the reciprocating motion of the piston in the damping medium is converted into heat dissipation, so that the piston movement speed gradually decreases, achieving the purpose of damping energy dissipation, maximizing the absorption and consumption of the impact energy of the earthquake on the building structure, and greatly alleviating the impact and damage caused by the earthquake on the building structure.

[0004] However, when the current viscous damper is fixedly installed on the upper support frame and the lower support frame, bolts are generally used to pass through the viscous damper and the upper support frame and the lower support frame, and then nuts and bolts are used to perform threaded connection to achieve the viscous damper being fixedly installed on the upper support frame and the lower support frame. During regular inspections of the viscous damper, special tools are required to unscrew the bolts before the viscous damper can be disassembled for inspection. The special tools are large in size and inconvenient to carry, which makes it troublesome to perform regular inspections of the viscous damper every time. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0022] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The utility model discloses a viscous damper for seismic reinforcement of existing buildings, comprising an upper support frame 1, a lower support frame 2, a fixing component, and a connecting component.

The adjusting part 10 is movably connected to the clamping part 9, and both ends of the viscous damper 11 are inserted into the connecting sleeve 8 and are located in the clamping part 9; the adjusting part 10 drives the clamping part 9 to move under the action of external force, so that the clamping part 9 clamps the viscous damper 11.

[0024] Preferably, the fixing seat 3 is a hollow rectangular body with openings at both ends, and two groups of fixing seats 3 are provided, and the two groups of fixing seats 3 are fixedly mounted on the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 respectively.

[0025] Preferably, the engaging grooves 6 are symmetrically arranged on the inner wall of the fixing seat 3 .

[0026] For further information, see Figure 4 A working cavity 12 is provided in the clamping plate 4, and a first slide groove 13 and a second slide groove 14 communicating with the working cavity 12 are respectively provided on the clamping plate 4, and the first slide groove 13 and the second slide groove 14 are arranged perpendicular to each other.

[0027] Preferably, the first slide groove 13 passes through one end of the clamping plate 4 along the horizontal longitudinal direction and is communicated with the working chamber 12 .

[0028] Preferably, the first sliding groove 13 runs through the left and right ends of the clamping plate 4 in a horizontal direction.

[0029] For further information, see Figure 4 The clamping member 5 includes a push rod 501 slidably arranged in the first slide groove 13, a connecting rod 502 arranged at the end of the push rod 501 and located in the working chamber 12, a rotating rod 503 hinged to the two ends of the connecting rod 502, and a clamping block 504 hinged to the rotating rod 503, and the clamping block 504 is respectively located in the second slide groove 14; the rebound member 7 is sleeved on the clamping block 504, and the two ends of the rebound member 7 are respectively abutted against the end surface of the clamping block 504 and the end surface of the second slide groove 14.

[0030] Preferably, a support rod 505 is also provided on the block 504, a retaining ring 506 is provided on the inner wall of the second slide groove 14, and one end of the support rod 505 away from the block 504 is hinged to the rotating rod 503; the rebound member 7 adopts a rebound spring, which is sleeved on the support rod 505 and located in the second slide groove 14, and the two ends of the rebound spring are respectively abutted against the retaining ring 506 and the card.

[0031] In the above arrangement, after the clamping plate 4 is inserted into the fixing seat 3, the clamping block 504 is squeezed by the inner wall of the fixing seat 3, and the rebound spring is compressed to cause the clamping block 504 to retract into the second sliding groove 14. When the clamping block 504 moves to the clamping groove 6, the rebound spring recovers and pushes the clamping block to pop out into the clamping groove 6, thereby connecting the clamping block to the fixing seat 3, and then connecting the connecting sleeve 8 to the fixing seat 3; when separating the connecting sleeve 8 from the fixing seat 3, by pushing the push rod 501 into the working chamber 12, the push rod 501 drives the connecting rod 502 to move downward, and the rotating rod 503 rotates accordingly to pull the support rod 505 and the clamping block 504 to move into the second sliding groove 14. At this time, the clamping block 504 is separated from the clamping groove 6, and the push rod 501 is continued to be pushed to drive the clamping plate 4 to disengage from the fixing groove, thereby separating the connecting sleeve 8 from the fixing seat 3.

[0032] For further information, see Figure 2 , 3 The clamping member 9 includes clamping plates 901 symmetrically arranged in the connecting sleeve 8, and a clamping space 902 is formed between the two groups of clamping plates 901; the adjusting member 10 includes an adjusting screw 1001, and the adjusting screw 1001 is connected to the two groups of clamping plates 901 through a positive thread and a negative thread respectively.

[0033] Preferably, a screw hole is provided on the clamping plate 901 , and an arc-shaped clamping end 903 is provided at the end of the clamping plate 901 away from the adjusting screw 1001 , and a rubber pad is provided on the clamping end 903 .

[0034] Preferably, both ends of the adjusting screw 1001 are rotatably connected to the connecting sleeve 8 respectively.

[0035] For further information, see Figure 2 , 3 A control box 15 is provided on the connecting sleeve 8, and a crank 16 is rotatably provided on the control box 15. A tooth block 17 is provided inside the control box 15. The crank 16 is provided with a gear 18 located inside the control box 15 and meshing with the tooth block 17. A return spring 19 is provided on the outer wall of the crank 16 between the gear 18 and the control box 15; one end of the adjusting screw 1001 penetrates into the control box 15 and is provided with a slot 20 on the end head, and a rectangular rod 21 movably engaged with the slot 20 is provided on the gear 18.

[0036] Preferably, the control box 15 is a circular structure with a hollow inner wall. A rotating hole is provided on the control box 15, and one end of the crank 16 is rotated through the control box 15 and is located inside the control box 15.

[0037] In the above arrangement, when it is necessary to rotate the adjusting screw 1001, it is only necessary to pull the crank handle 16 backward to drive the gear 18 to separate from the tooth block 17. At this time, turning the crank handle 16 again can drive the gear 18 to rotate, and the gear 18 drives the adjusting screw 1001 to rotate through the rectangular rod 21, so that the clamping plate 901 moves toward each other to clamp the outer wall of the damper body; then release the crank handle 16, and the reset spring 19 pushes the gear 18 to reset and re-engage with the tooth block 17. At this time, the gear 18 cannot rotate, that is, the adjusting screw 1001 cannot rotate, thereby preventing the adjusting screw 1001 from rotating due to vibration or other reasons, causing the clamping plate 901 to loosen, thereby avoiding the situation where the clamping plate 901 loosens the damper.

[0038] In this embodiment, after the two ends of the viscous damper 11 are respectively clamped in the connecting sleeve 8 by the clamping plate 901, the clamping plate 4 is pushed into the fixing seat 3, and the clamping block 504 is clamped with the clamping groove 6, so that the clamping plate 4 is clamped with the fixing seat 3, and then the connecting sleeve 8 is connected to the fixing seat 3, so that the viscous damper 11 is connected to the upper support frame 1 and the lower support frame 2 respectively. The position of the viscous damper 11 can be adjusted by loosening the clamping plate 901, and after the adjustment is completed, it is clamped using the clamping plate 901.

[0039] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
