[0002] A vibration damper is a device that converts the mechanical vibration energy of a solid into other energy. When the damping of the vibration system itself or the internal damping of certain vibration isolation measures is not enough to suppress the vibration response of the system near the natural frequency, an external vibration damper is often required. It mainly includes several types such as steel dampers, friction dampers, magnetic dampers and air dampers.
[0003] The current types of steel dampers mainly include: butterfly-type, U-type, Z-type and other metal steel dampers, which have complex structures and are difficult to process. They cannot adapt to the unidirectional force caused by the unidirectional displacement of the bridge, have poor vibration absorption ability, poor supporting performance, and are prone to vibration deformation.

The sliding friction plate and the clamping plate clamp the upper wing plate in the middle and are connected by bolts. A sliding groove is provided on the sliding friction plate that matches the bottom surface shape of the cross diaphragm at the bottom of the bridge beam.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the utility model adopting the above technical solution has the following outstanding features:
[0009] 1) The slide groove on the sliding friction plate can adapt to the lateral displacement caused by the bridge force, so that the damper can withstand the longitudinal unidirectional force generated by the bridge vibration, absorb the longitudinal energy consumption, and is not easy to deform.
[0010] 2) The I-shaped mild steel damper for bridges can dissipate energy along the entire cross-section yielding within the height range under the action of horizontal earthquakes, and has an ideal energy dissipation capacity. At the same time, it can well adapt to the large longitudinal displacement deformation of the bridge. In addition, the upper part of the I-shaped mild steel damper for bridges adopts a sliding connection, which can adapt to the complex lateral deformation of the main beam and ensure that the force transmission path of the metal damper is clear under the action of earthquakes.
[0011] 3) Vertical energy-absorbing steel sheets, I-shaped energy-absorbing steel sheets and X-shaped energy-absorbing steel sheets have different yield strengths, forming multi-level yields. At the same time, the energy-absorbing system is fixed to the upper and lower wing plates by bolts, which is convenient for replacing the damaged energy-absorbing steel sheets. It has a simple structure, convenient processing, high economic benefits, and strong seismic resistance. It can more effectively prevent the collapse of the bridge when an earthquake occurs, thus achieving the goal of building seismic resistance.
[0012] As a preferred embodiment, a further technical solution of the utility model is:
[0013] The plane where the I-shaped energy-absorbing steel sheet is located is perpendicular to the length direction of the slide groove on the sliding friction plate.
[0014] Anti-skid rubber plates are arranged between the sliding friction plate and the upper wing plate, and between the upper wing plate and the clamping plate.
[0015] The lower connection assembly includes a lower wing plate and four clamping plates. The lower wing plate is located below the energy dissipation system and the middle part is bolted to the lower support plate. The four clamping plates are located on both sides of the lower wing plate in groups of two to clamp the lower wing plate in the middle and connect them by bolts.
