Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridges, and in particular relates to a seismic isolation cable saddle. Background Art

[0002] The saddle is a structure specially designed for the suspension cable to bypass the tower top and allow the main cable to change direction smoothly. The saddle is provided with a cable groove for connecting with the main cable to transmit the force from the main cable to the main tower.

[0003] At present, the traditional cable saddle is fixedly connected to the main tower. For example, Chinese invention patent CN114808697A discloses a construction structure system and construction method of a main cable saddle with a large pre-bias. The permanent base is fixed in the central area of ​​the top surface of the main tower. When an earthquake occurs, the main tower can only rely on the deformation to adapt to the energy of the earthquake. As the construction length of the suspension bridge becomes longer and longer, the stiffness requirements for the main tower are also higher and higher, which increases the construction cost of the main tower. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide a seismic isolation cable saddle. The saddle body and the base are connected by a pre-tightening structure. When an earthquake occurs, the pre-tightening structure is first destroyed to separate the saddle body from the base. The saddle body first slides by itself to separate the seismic energy from the main tower and consumes part of the seismic energy. When the seismic energy is enhanced, the saddle body contacts and squeezes the buffer energy absorbing part. The buffer energy absorbing part absorbs part of the seismic energy and reduces the seismic energy transmitted to the main tower. That is, it can effectively reduce the stiffness requirements and construction costs of the main tower and is beneficial to the safety of the suspension bridge.

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0009] In one embodiment, the pre-tightening structure includes a stopper disposed on the side wall of the saddle body, the stopper extends above the boss, the buffer energy absorbing member is located below the stopper, and the stopper is connected to the boss via a first shear pin extending in a vertical direction.

[0010] In one embodiment, the pre-tightening structure includes a first baffle plate arranged on the side wall of the saddle body and a second baffle plate arranged on the boss, the second baffle plate and the boss are connected by a second shear pin extending in the vertical direction, the second baffle plate and the first baffle plate are connected by a third shear pin extending in the vertical direction, the shear strength of the third shear pin is less than the shear strength of the second shear pin, and the buffer energy absorption part is located below the second baffle plate.

[0011] In one embodiment, the lubrication structure is a polytetrafluoroethylene slide plate arranged in the mounting groove, and the buffer energy-absorbing component and the saddle body are both arranged on the polytetrafluoroethylene slide plate.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lubricating element is a solid lubricating column.

[0013] In one embodiment, the bottom of the saddle body is provided with a plurality of grooves evenly spaced apart, and the lubricating element is embedded in the grooves.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0032] The utility model provides a seismic isolation cable saddle, such as Figure 1 As shown, including:

[0033] A saddle body 1, the saddle body 1 is used to fix the main cable 2;

[0034] Base 3, base 3 is connected to the main tower;

[0035] Among them, a mounting groove 4 is opened on the base 3, and the saddle body 1 is arranged in the mounting groove 4. A lubrication structure is arranged between the bottom surface of the saddle body 1 and the mounting groove 4, and a buffer energy-absorbing member 14 is arranged between the saddle body 1 and the bosses 6 at both ends of the mounting groove 4. One end of the buffer energy-absorbing member 14 is in contact with the boss 6, and the other end has a gap 17 with the saddle body 1 to extend the self-vibration period of the saddle body 1. The saddle body 1 is also connected to the bosses 6 at both ends of the mounting groove 4 through a pre-tightening structure;

[0036] It should be noted that the saddle body 1 and the base 3 are connected together by a pre-tightening structure. When the seismic energy received exceeds the pre-tightening strength of the pre-tightening structure, the saddle body 1 and the base 3 are separated, and the gap 17 between the saddle body 1 and the buffer energy absorbing member 14 allows the saddle body 1 to slide by self-vibration, so as to separate the seismic energy received by the main tower and the main cable 2 and consume part of the seismic energy. When the seismic intensity increases to the point where the saddle body 1 contacts the buffer energy absorbing member 14, the main tower and the saddle body 1 are connected through the buffer energy absorbing member 14, and the buffer energy absorbing member 14 absorbs the seismic energy received by the main cable 2, thereby reducing the seismic energy transmitted to the main tower, reducing the stiffness requirements and construction costs of the main tower, and also ensuring the safety of the suspension bridge.

[0037] Specifically, Figure 3 As shown, the pre-tightening structure includes a stopper 5 arranged on the side wall of the saddle body 1, the stopper 5 extends to the top of the boss 6, the buffer energy dissipation member 14 is located below the stopper 5, and the stopper 5 is connected to the boss 6 through a first shear pin 7 extending in the vertical direction;

[0038] In one embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, the pre-tightening structure includes a first baffle 15 arranged on the side wall of the saddle body 1 and a second baffle 16 arranged on the boss 6, the second baffle 16 and the boss 6 are connected by a second shear pin 8 extending in the vertical direction, the second baffle 16 and the first baffle 15 are connected by a third shear pin 9 extending in the vertical direction, the shear strength of the third shear pin 9 is less than the shear strength of the second shear pin 8, and the buffer energy dissipation member 14 is located below the second baffle 16;

[0039] It should be noted that the pre-tightening structure can form multi-level pre-tightening, such as Figure 2As shown, a second baffle 16 is arranged on the boss 6 through a second shear pin 8, and the second baffle 16 is connected to the first baffle 15 of the saddle body 1 through a third shear pin 9, and the shear strength of the third shear pin 9 is less than the shear strength of the second shear pin 8, that is, when the earthquake intensity is greater than the shear strength of the third shear pin 9 but less than the shear strength of the second shear pin 8, the third shear pin 9 breaks, the saddle body 1 is separated from the base 3, and the end of the second baffle 16 is used as the maximum displacement point for sliding, so that the seismic energy of the main cable 2 is isolated from the main tower, and when the earthquake intensity increases, the saddle body 1 continues to slide. The seismic energy is transmitted to the second baffle 16. When the seismic intensity is greater than the shear strength of the second shear pin 8, the second shear pin 8 breaks, and the saddle body 1 takes the boss 6 of the mounting groove 4 as the maximum displacement position, which increases the movable distance of the saddle body 1. At this time, the saddle body 1 contacts the buffer energy absorbing member 14, and the buffer energy absorbing member 14 absorbs the seismic energy of the main cable 2, so that the saddle body 1 can be separated from the main tower under earthquakes of different intensities. Then, multiple seismic resistance modes are performed by isolating the main tower first and then reducing the seismic energy transmitted to the main tower, thereby reducing the stiffness requirements and construction costs of the main tower.

[0043] It should be noted that the solid lubricating column 11 is used as a lubricating point, and a plurality of solid lubricating columns 11 embedded in the saddle body 1 form a lubricating surface, so that the saddle body 1 can slide in the mounting groove 4 of the base 3, and the buffer spring 12 provided at the same time can continuously act on the solid lubricating column 11, so that it can still fully contact with the mounting groove 4 of the base 3 after wear, and maintain a complete lubricating surface;
