[0016] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0017] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "left" and "right" indicate directions or positional relationships based on the drawings in the specification. Figure 1 The orientation or positional relationship shown is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and does not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0018] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a node device for reinforced concrete structure with controllable displacement limit, including an SMA core material 1, an outer sleeve 2, a steel sleeve support 3, a steel pin anchor support 4, a steel pin 5 and a fastening nut 6.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, the steel sleeve support 3 is a U-shaped structure, and the steel sleeve support 3 is sleeved on the steel beams and steel columns that are orthogonally arranged.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, the steel pin anchor support 4 includes two trapezoidal fixing plates, which are installed on the steel sleeve support 3. The trapezoidal fixing plates are provided with mounting holes, and the two ends of the steel pin in the length direction are inserted into the mounting holes.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the outer sleeve 2 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow shaft cavity. Three groups of connection holes are provided on the side walls at both ends of the length direction of the outer sleeve 2. Each group of connection holes is an elliptical connection hole 21 symmetrical with respect to the axis of the outer sleeve. The steel pin 5 is inserted into the elliptical connection hole 21 and installed on the steel pin anchor support 4 through a fastening nut 6. The SMA core material 1 includes three shape memory alloy rods 11 and two soft steel springs 12 distributed along the length direction of the steel pin, and a soft steel spring 12 is provided between any two adjacent shape memory alloy rods 11. The shape memory alloy rods 11 and the two soft steel springs 12 are arranged in the outer sleeve 2 and the two ends of the length direction thereof are sleeved on the steel pin 5. Among them, the long axis direction of the elliptical connection hole 21 is consistent with the axis direction of the outer sleeve 2, and the short axis direction of the elliptical connection hole 21 is consistent with the circumferential direction of the outer sleeve 2.

[0023] The working principle of this embodiment is further described below:

[0024] After the steel pin anchor support is welded to the U-shaped steel sleeve support in advance and the direction is adjusted according to the design requirements, the two U-shaped steel sleeve supports are respectively mounted on the mutually orthogonal steel beams and steel columns. Then, the two ends of the SMA core material are installed at the steel pin anchor support through steel pins and nuts, and the two ends of the outer sleeve are also installed at the steel pin anchor support through steel pins and nuts.

[0025] In this embodiment, the elliptical connection holes at both ends of the outer sleeve can limit the deformation displacement value of the shape memory alloy rod and the soft steel spring, that is, play a controllable role. During the deformation of the earthquake process, when the node changes from a right angle to an acute angle, the SMA core material is squeezed and begins to rebound to provide a restoring force; when the node changes from a right angle to an obtuse angle, the outer sleeve is stretched and begins to become a pull rod to provide tension. Therefore, the node has a good active seismic function, in which the restoring force and the tension can be calculated as design parameters through material strength and component cross-sectional area.

[0026] According to the design requirements, multiple arrangements can be made for different nodes, which can further improve the overall active seismic resistance of the reinforced concrete structure.

[0027] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model is described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the above embodiments or replace some of the technical features therein by equivalents. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model shall be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
