As a passive energy dissipation and shock absorption product, the viscous damper has stable and reliable dissipation of seismic energy, weakens the wind force, reduces the damage to buildings, and improves the seismic performance of buildings. At present, the damping parameters of the first-order viscous damper with a single output are fixed. Under the same earthquake input frequency, the change range of the damping force is small, and it is difficult to meet the excellent seismic performance of buildings under minor earthquakes, moderate earthquakes, and major earthquakes. Especially, it is difficult to have stable performance under long-term minor earthquakes or sudden large-displacement major earthquakes. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The content of the utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the specification drawings and embodiments.
[0024] Refer to the appendix Figures 1 - 5, A two-stage viscous damper with adjustable damping force, comprising a cylinder barrel 1, a piston 2 arranged in the cylinder barrel, a left guide sleeve 3 and a right guide sleeve 4 respectively fixed on the inner wall of the cylinder barrel on both sides of the piston, and O-ring seals 5 respectively arranged between the left guide sleeve, the right guide sleeve and the inner wall of the cylinder barrel to make the seal better. The first cavity 6 formed by the left guide sleeve, the second cavity 7 formed by the piston and the right guide sleeve, a guide rod 8 respectively passing through the right guide sleeve, the piston and the left guide sleeve and fixed to the piston, Y-shaped seals 9 and star seals 91 arranged on the contact surfaces of the guide rod with the left guide sleeve and the right guide sleeve to make the seal better, adjusting rods 10 and guide rods 11 respectively fixed at both ends on the left guide sleeve and the right guide sleeve. In order to make the piston move smoothly back and forth along the adjusting rod and have a good vibration isolation effect, two adjusting rods and two guide rods are provided, alternately and evenly distributed through the cross-section of the piston, a static connector 12 fixed at the rear end of the left guide sleeve and a rod-end connector 13 fixed at the end of the guide rod, which is convenient to connect with the embedded parts respectively embedded in the shear wall during use;
[0025] See again Figure 3 , The adjusting rod is a stepped rod with a thin middle and thick ends. When the stepped rod drives the piston to move back and forth, the gap between the adjusting rod and the piston can change from a large gap to a small gap, realizing two-stage damping force output; the lengths of each section of the stepped adjusting rod are determined by the design displacement of the two-stage viscous damper, and the diameters of each section are determined by the magnitude of the damping force, enabling the magnitude of the damping force to be adjustable. The first cavity and the second cavity are filled with silicone oil. The adjusting rod and the guide rod pass through the piston and can move in the piston. There are gaps for silicone oil to pass through between the adjusting rod and the guide rod and the piston, and between the piston and the inner side surface of the cylinder barrel.
[0026] See again Figure 4 , Limit plates 14 can also be respectively arranged on the inner side surfaces of the left guide sleeve and the right guide sleeve. A group of small holes 141 are opened on the limit plates as reserved oil passing hole positions. By connecting an external oil injection device and a vacuum pumping device, the oil injection and vacuum pumping processes are completed, and both ends of the adjusting rod and the guide rod are respectively fixed on the limit plates.
[0027] As a preferred design, annular pressing plates 15 are respectively fixed on two cross-sections of the piston. The adjusting rod and the guide rod pass through the annular pressing plates and can move in the piston. Wear-resistant rings 16 are arranged between the guide rod and the piston to make the piston move smoothly back and forth along the adjusting rod and have a good vibration isolation effect. A threaded sleeve 17 can also be internally threaded and connected to the end of the cylinder barrel to press the right guide sleeve, which is convenient for installation. Pin holes 18 are respectively opened on the static connector and the rod-end connector, which is convenient for connecting with the pin holes on the embedded parts respectively embedded in the shear wall.
[0028] See Figure 6, when the utility model is in use, two embedded plates A are respectively embedded in two shear walls B, and the nodal plates C with pin holes are respectively welded on the embedded plates A. During installation, the static connector and the rod end connector are respectively connected to the nodal plate C through the pin holes with pins. When an earthquake acts on the utility model, the rod end connector drives the guide rod to make a reciprocating linear motion in the cylinder at a certain speed. When the piston moves in the cylinder, the adjusting rod remains stationary. The silicone oil flows in the first cavity and the second cavity through the gaps between the piston and the cylinder and between the piston and the adjusting rod. When the silicone oil flows through the gaps, a damping force is generated to dissipate the seismic energy and weaken the damage of the earthquake to the main structure of the building. The adjusting rod is designed in a stepped manner. When the piston moves at a certain speed in the small-diameter stroke section of the adjusting rod, the damping force output of the viscous damper is a certain value. When the piston moves in the large-diameter stroke section of the adjusting rod, at the same speed, the damping force output of the viscous damper is another certain value, realizing the function that the damping force outputs are different in two different displacement sections at the same speed.
[0029] The embodiments described above are only descriptions of the preferred modes of the utility model, and do not limit the scope of the utility model. Without departing from the design spirit of the utility model, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary skill in the art to the technical solutions of the utility model shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the utility model.
