[0026] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0028] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, on the one hand, the present invention provides a two-span shared damper vertical displacement amplification vibration reduction device, including: a damper 4 and two sets of amplification components. The damper 4 is used to be arranged on the top of the bridge pier 5; the two sets of amplification components are respectively connected to both ends of the damper 4 and are connected to the main beams 2 on both sides of the bridge pier 5. The amplification components include: a load transfer rod 1 and an angled amplification rod 3. One end of the load transfer rod 1 is used to be rotatably connected to the main beam 2; the angled amplification rod 3 includes a connecting rod 31 and an amplification rod 32 connected at the end. The connecting rod 31 is rotatably connected to the other end of the load transfer rod 1, the amplification rod 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the damper 4, and the angled part of the angled amplification rod 3 is used to be rotatably connected to the bridge pier 5.

[0029] When using this two-span shared damper vertical displacement amplification vibration reduction device, the damper 4 is arranged on the top of the bridge pier 5, the two sets of amplification components are respectively arranged on both sides of the damper 4 and are respectively connected to the main beams 2 on both sides of the bridge pier 5. One end of the load transfer rod 1 of the amplification component extends away from the bridge pier 5 and is rotatably connected to the main beam 2. The connecting rod 31 of the angled amplification rod 3 is rotatably connected to the other end of the load transfer rod 1, the amplification rod 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the damper 4, the angled part of the angled amplification rod 3 is used to be rotatably connected to the bridge pier 5, and the amplification rod 32 of the other amplification component is rotatably connected to the other end of the damper 4. Such a design can enable the two sets of amplification components to share one damper 4 and jointly reduce the vibration of the main beam 2, can reduce one damper, save costs, and can reduce the requirements for the installation space.

[0030] During the driving process of the vehicle, the displacement of the main girders 2 on both sides of the pier 5 can increase the displacement of the damper 4 after being amplified by the amplification assembly, achieving a better vibration damping effect. This device can be applied to various types of bridges, including continuous girder bridges and simply supported girder bridges, etc.

[0031] By adjusting the ratio (L2 / L1) of the length L1 of the connecting rod 31 to the length L2 of the amplification rod 32 and the inclination angle of the force transmission rod 1, the magnification multiple of the vibration amplification required by the structure is set. By adjusting the extension length of the force transmission rod along the beam extension direction, the amplitude of the up-and-down vibration at the far end of the main girder is obtained.

[0032] The damper 4 is rotatably arranged at the top of the pier 5, which can make the installation of the damper 4 more flexible and more adaptable. The damper 4 does not require a fixed installation device, which can save space and make the installation more convenient. Such a design can also reduce the impact on navigation.

[0033] In this example, the hinged corner of the angled amplification rod 3 is rotatably connected to the pier 5, which means it can be rotatably connected to the pier 5 or rotatably connected to the bearing 51 on the pier 5.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, the amplification assembly further includes a mounting seat 6, which is used to be arranged on the pier 5, and the mounting seat 6 is rotatably connected to the hinged corner.

[0035] In this embodiment, when installing the amplification assembly, first install the mounting seat 6 on the pier 5 and rotatably connect it to the hinged corner of the angled amplification rod 3. Then connect the two ends of the damper 4 to the amplification rods 32 of the angled amplification rods 3 in two sets of amplification assemblies respectively. Finally, connect the connecting rod 31 of the angled amplification rod 3 in the amplification assembly to the corresponding force transmission rod 1, and make the other end of the force transmission rod 1 extend and be away from the pier 5 and connect it to the lower part of the main girder 2. Such a design can facilitate the installation of the entire device.

[0036] In some alternative embodiments, the mounting seat 6 is rotatably connected to the hinged corner through a spherical hinge.

[0037] In this embodiment, the mounting seat 6 adopts a spherical hinge seat, and the hinged corner of the angled amplification rod 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 6 through a spherical hinge. Such a design can make the entire device adapt to vibrations in more directions. For example, when the main girder 2 has a displacement in the longitudinal direction, this device can also transmit the vibration displacement in the longitudinal direction of the main girder 2 to the damper 4, enabling the damper 4 to play a role in damping the vibration of the main girder 2.

[0038] In some alternative embodiments, the mounting seats 6 of the two sets of amplification assemblies are respectively located on both sides of the pier 5 in the longitudinal bridge direction.

[0039] In this embodiment, the mounting seats 6 of the two groups of amplification components are respectively located on both sides of the pier 5 in the longitudinal direction of the bridge. Such a design can also make the angled amplification rod 3 located on both sides of the pier, which can reduce the installation space pressure at the top of the pier 5.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, the connecting rod 31 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicular to each other.

[0041] In this embodiment, the connecting rod 31 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicular to each other. Such a design allows the angled amplification rod 3 to be installed with the connecting rod 31 set horizontally and the amplification rod 32 set vertically during installation. The amplification rod 32 can be freely enlarged as needed, without affecting the navigation space below the main girder 2 and being basically unaffected by the installation space.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, the amplification rod 32 and the damper 4 are perpendicular to each other.

[0043] In this embodiment, the damper 4 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicularly arranged, which can transfer the displacement at the end of the amplification rod 32 in the angled amplification rod 3 to the damper 4 to the greatest extent, enabling the damper 4 to function. The perpendicularity between the amplification rod 32 and the damper 4 means that when the main girder does not vibrate, the damper 4 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicular to each other, and when the main girder vibrates, the angle between the damper 4 and the amplification rod 32 will adaptively change with the vibration of the main girder 2.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the included angle between the amplification rod 32 and the force transfer rod 1 is 100 to 160 degrees.

[0045] In this embodiment, the included angle between the amplification rod 32 and the force transfer rod 1 is designed to be 100 to 160 degrees, which can make the force transfer rod 1 extend farther from the pier 5 to obtain a larger vibration displacement of the main girder 2. Then, through the amplification component, the vibration displacement of the main girder 2 can be further amplified to achieve a greater vibration position amplification effect. Of course, in other embodiments, other angles can also be adopted between the amplification rod 32 and the force transfer rod 1 as long as the force transfer rod 1 extends farther from the pier 5.

[0046] In some alternative embodiments, the length ratio of the connecting rod 31 to the amplification rod 32 is 1:2 - 6.

[0047] In this example, the length ratio of the connecting rod 31 to the amplification rod 32 is 1:3. In other embodiments, the length ratio of the connecting rod 31 to the amplification rod 32 can be set according to actual needs, as long as the vibration displacement of the connecting rod 31 can be amplified to the end of the amplification rod 32.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the damper 4 is an oil damper, a magnetorheological damper or an eddy current damper. In other embodiments, other forms of dampers may also be used, and the same technical effects can be achieved.

[0049] On the other hand, the present utility model also provides a bridge, comprising: the two-span shared damper vertical displacement amplification vibration reduction device according to any one of the above.

[0050] When using the two-span shared damper vertical displacement amplification vibration reduction device, the damper 4 is arranged at the top of the pier 5 of the bridge pier, and the two sets of amplification components are respectively arranged on both sides of the damper 4 and are respectively connected to the main girders 2 on both sides of the bridge pier 5. One end of the transmission rod 1 of the amplification component extends away from the bridge pier 5 and is rotatably connected to the main girder 2. The connecting rod 31 of the folding angle amplification rod 3 is rotatably connected to the other end of the transmission rod 1, and the amplification rod 32 is rotatably connected to one end of the damper 4. The folding angle of the folding angle amplification rod 3 is used for rotatably connecting to the bridge pier 5, and the amplification rod 32 of the other amplification component is rotatably connected to the other end of the damper 4. Such a design can enable the two sets of amplification components to share one damper 4 to jointly reduce the vibration of the main girder 2, can reduce one damper 4, save costs, and can reduce the requirements for the installation space.

[0051] By adjusting the ratio (L2 / L1) of the length L1 of the connecting rod 31 to the length L2 of the amplification rod 32 and the inclination angle of the transmission rod 1, the required vibration amplification multiple of the structure is set, and by adjusting the external extension length of the transmission rod along the beam extension direction, the amplitude of the up and down vibration of the distal end of the main girder is obtained.

[0052] The damper 4 is rotatably arranged at the top of the bridge pier 5, which can make the installation of the damper 4 more flexible and more adaptable. The damper 4 does not require a fixed installation device, can save space, and can make the installation more convenient. Such a design can also reduce the impact on navigation.

[0053] When installing the amplification component, first install the mounting seat 6 on the bridge pier 5 and rotatably connect it to the folding angle of the folding angle amplification rod 3. Then, the two ends of the damper 4 are respectively connected to the amplification rods 32 of the folding angle amplification rods 3 in the two sets of amplification components. Finally, the connecting rod 31 of the folding angle amplification rod 3 in the amplification component is connected to the corresponding transmission rod 1, and the other end of the transmission rod 1 extends out and away from the bridge pier 5 and is connected to the lower part of the main girder 2. Such a design can facilitate the installation of the entire device.

[0054] The mounting seat 6 adopts a spherical hinge seat, and the folding angle of the folding angle amplification rod 3 is rotatably connected to the mounting seat 6 through a spherical hinge. Such a design can enable the entire device to adapt to vibrations in more directions. For example, when the main girder 2 undergoes longitudinal displacement, the present device can also transmit the longitudinal vibration displacement of the main girder 2 to the damper 4, enabling the damper 4 to play a role in reducing the vibration of the main girder 2.

[0055] The mounting seats 6 of the two sets of amplification components are respectively located on both sides of the pier 5 in the longitudinal bridge direction. Such a design enables the angled amplification rod 3 to also be located on both sides of the pier, thereby reducing the installation space pressure at the top of the pier 5.

[0056] The connecting rod 31 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicular to each other. Such a design allows the angled amplification rod 3 to be installed with the connecting rod 31 set horizontally and the amplification rod 32 set vertically during installation. The amplification rod 32 can be freely enlarged according to requirements, without affecting the navigation space below the main girder 2 and being basically unaffected by the installation space.

[0057] The damper 4 is perpendicularly arranged with the amplification rod 32, which can transfer the displacement at the end of the amplification rod 32 in the angled amplification rod 3 to the damper 4 to the greatest extent, causing the damper 4 to function. The perpendicular arrangement of the amplification rod 32 and the damper 4 means that when the main girder does not vibrate, the damper 4 and the amplification rod 32 are perpendicular to each other, and when the main girder vibrates, the angle between the damper 4 and the amplification rod 32 will adaptively change with the vibration of the main girder 2.

[0058] The included angle between the amplification rod 32 and the force transmission rod 1 is designed to be 100 to 160 degrees, which enables the force transmission rod 1 to extend further from the pier 5 to obtain a larger vibration displacement of the main girder 2. Then, through the amplification component, the vibration displacement of the main girder 2 can be further amplified to obtain a greater vibration position amplification effect. Of course, in other embodiments, other angles can also be adopted between the amplification rod 32 and the force transmission rod 1, as long as the force transmission rod 1 extends further from the pier 5.

[0059] The length ratio of the connecting rod 31 to the amplification rod 32 is 1:3. In other embodiments, the length ratio of the connecting rod 31 to the amplification rod 32 can be set according to actual requirements, and it can amplify the vibration displacement of the connecting rod 31 to the end of the amplification rod 32.
