Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of seismic isolation spherical bearings, and particularly relates to a seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment. Background Technique

[0002] The seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing is a kind of seismic isolation bearing, which can change the natural vibration period of the upper structure during an earthquake and reduce the damage of the earthquake to the bridge structure through the friction energy dissipation of the friction pair. The seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing includes two types of bearings: those with a planar sliding surface and those without a planar sliding surface. Under normal use conditions, the seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing is in the same use state as the ordinary spherical bearing. During an earthquake, when the horizontal bearing capacity is greater than the seismic shear force of the limit stop block, the shear pin is cut off, and the seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing enters the swinging working state and begins to play the role of seismic isolation. At present, the most commonly used height adjustment scheme for the seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing is to adjust the height by adding or extracting height adjustment pads. However, the pads have a certain thickness and can only be adjusted in fixed levels, resulting in inaccurate height adjustment of the seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing. Therefore, it is urgent to design a seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment to solve the above deficiencies in the prior art.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0005] A seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment includes a lower support plate. An upper support plate is arranged on the top of the lower support plate. A middle support plate is arranged between the upper support plate and the lower support plate. A filling cavity adapted to the middle support plate is arranged at the bottom of the upper support plate. The top of the middle support plate is located inside the filling cavity. A sealing device is fixed on the top side wall of the middle support plate. Uniformly distributed flow guiding grooves are formed on the outer wall of the top of the middle support plate. A flow passage hole communicating with the filling cavity is arranged inside the middle support plate.

[0006] Further, a flow passage interface communicating with the flow passage hole is formed on the outer wall of one side of the middle support plate. A spherical crown liner is arranged between the middle support plate and the lower support plate.

[0007] Further, an upper concave cavity adapted to the spherical crown liner is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the middle support plate. A lower concave cavity adapted to the spherical crown liner is arranged on the outer wall of the top of the lower support plate.

[0008] Further, a limit frame is connected to the top of the lower support plate through a shear bolt. The bottom of the middle support plate is located inside the limit frame.

[0009] Further, a connecting sleeve is welded to the outer wall of the top of the upper bearing plate, and an anchor bolt is inserted into the connecting sleeve.

[0010] Further, a sliding groove is formed in the outer wall of the bottom of the upper bearing plate, a sliding seat plate is slidably connected inside the sliding groove, and the filling cavity is located on the outer wall of the bottom of the sliding seat plate.

[0011] Further, a transverse friction plate is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the sliding seat plate, a transverse stainless steel plate is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the sliding groove, a vertical friction plate is fixed to the side wall of the sliding seat plate, and a vertical stainless steel plate is fixed to the side wall of the sliding groove.

[0012] In the above technical solution, a seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment provided by the present utility model has the beneficial effects that: by pressing the low-melting-point alloy into the filling cavity of the bearing through the flow passage holes, the effect of stepless height adjustment of the bearing can be realized, making the height adjustment of the bearing more accurate, and the metal sealing device can effectively prevent the low-melting-point alloy from being extruded from the gap between the upper bearing plate and the middle bearing plate, and the low-melting-point alloy is pressed into the filling cavity more evenly through the diversion groove; when the horizontal vibration generated by the earthquake is relatively large, the sliding between the upper bearing plate and the sliding seat plate reaches the limit, causing the shear bolt to break due to excessive force. At this time, the middle bearing plate is not restricted by the limiting frame, thus achieving the effect of protecting the bridge pier. Description of the Drawings

[0023] Embodiment 1

[0024] As Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a seismic isolation and vibration reduction spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment provided by an embodiment of the present utility model includes a lower bearing plate 1, the lower bearing plate 1 is fixed to the bridge pier, an upper bearing plate 2 is arranged on the top of the lower bearing plate 1, the upper bearing plate 2 is fixed to the bridge, a middle bearing plate 4 is arranged between the upper bearing plate 2 and the lower bearing plate 1, a filling cavity 3 adapted to the middle bearing plate 4 is arranged at the bottom of the upper bearing plate 2, low melting point alloy can be pressed into the filling cavity 3, the top of the middle bearing plate 4 is located inside the filling cavity 3, the periphery of the middle bearing plate 4 is in contact with the inner wall of the filling cavity 3, a sealing device 10 is fixed to the top side wall of the middle bearing plate 4, the sealing device 10 is an annular metal O-ring, which prevents the low melting point alloy from being extruded from the gap between the upper bearing plate 2 and the middle bearing plate 4, a uniformly distributed flow guiding groove 17 is formed on the outer wall of the top of the middle bearing plate 4, so that the low melting point alloy can be more evenly pressed into the filling cavity 3 through the flow guiding groove 17, a flow passage hole 9 communicating with the filling cavity 3 is arranged inside the middle bearing plate 4, the low melting point alloy enters the filling cavity 3 from the flow passage hole 9, because the pressed low melting point alloy is solid, the solid low melting point alloy has a soft property, and the characteristic that the alloy is easy to deform under high pressure is utilized. During the height adjustment process, it is not necessary to heat the alloy and the bearing, and an alloy pressing device is used to slowly press the alloy, and the alloy will be slowly extruded into the filling cavity 3; in the prior art, there is also a method of adjusting the height of the bearing by heating the alloy, but it is necessary to heat the pipeline, the heating device and the bearing, and the sealing requirement is relatively high; the present application adopts a non-heating method, does not need to heat the alloy and the bearing, there is no heating device, there will be no leakage, and the safety is high; a flow passage interface 18 communicating with the flow passage hole 9 is arranged on the outer wall of one side of the middle bearing plate 4, the flow passage interface 18 is used to connect the pipeline for pressing the low melting point alloy, after the low melting point alloy is pressed into the filling cavity 3, a plug needs to be used to block the flow passage interface 18 to keep the height of the bearing fixed. When it is necessary to lower the height of the bearing, the plug at the flow passage interface 18 is opened, and by using the self-weight of the bridge, the alloy can be slowly extruded out, so as to reduce the low melting point alloy in the filling cavity 3, and further achieve the effect of reducing the height of the bearing; a spherical crown liner 6 is arranged between the middle bearing plate 4 and the lower bearing plate 1, the upper and lower surfaces of the spherical crown liner 6 are both curved surfaces and are provided with friction plates; an upper concave cavity 7 adapted to the spherical crown liner 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the bottom of the middle bearing plate 4, the inner wall of the upper concave cavity 7 is provided with a stainless steel plate with a curved surface, a lower concave cavity 5 adapted to the spherical crown liner 6 is arranged on the outer wall of the top of the lower bearing plate 1, and the inner wall of the lower concave cavity 5 is also provided with a stainless steel plate with a curved surface.

[0025] Embodiment 2

[0026] As Figures 3-6 shown, a seismic isolation and energy dissipation spherical bearing based on non-heating alloy height adjustment provided by an embodiment of the present invention. The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that a sliding groove 12 is opened on the outer wall of the bottom of the upper bearing plate 2. A sliding seat plate 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding groove 12. The width of the sliding groove 12 is adapted to the sliding seat plate 11, and the sliding seat plate 11 can slide within the length range of the sliding groove 12. The filling cavity 3 is located on the outer wall of the bottom of the sliding seat plate 11. By sliding the sliding seat plate 11 inside the sliding groove 12 of the upper bearing plate 2, the displacement generated by the beam body due to temperature change can be adapted; a horizontal friction plate 16 is fixed to the outer wall of the top of the sliding seat plate 11, a horizontal stainless steel plate 15 is fixed to the inner wall of the top of the sliding groove 12, a vertical friction plate 13 is fixed to the side wall of the sliding seat plate 11, and a vertical stainless steel plate 14 is fixed to the side wall of the sliding groove 12. By forming a sliding pair with the stainless steel plate and the friction plate, the sliding of the sliding seat plate 11 and the sliding groove 12 is smoother, and the frictional force provided by the friction plate can consume the energy of the seismic action.

[0027] Working principle: During use, the low-melting-point alloy is pressed into the filling cavity 3 from the runner interface 18 through pressure, so that the filling cavity 3 is filled with the low-melting-point alloy. As the low-melting-point alloy continuously enters the inside of the filling cavity 3, the effect of raising the upper bearing plate 2 is realized. Then, the runner interface 18 is blocked by a plug, and the height of the upper bearing plate 2 can be fixed. The whole process can realize the effect of stepless height adjustment of the bearing, making the bearing more accurate during height adjustment.
