Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of shock absorption technology, and in particular to a damper displacement amplification device. Background Art

[0002] Traditional seismic resistance strategies rely primarily on the strength, stiffness, and ductility of a structure to withstand earthquakes. However, in areas of high seismic intensity, this approach not only increases construction costs but also makes it difficult to repair damaged structures during strong earthquakes. In contrast, energy dissipation and shock absorption technology is an innovative approach that installs dampers at key locations within the structure. The dampers' deformation or acceleration during relative motion provides additional damping, dissipating some of the seismic energy input. This effectively reduces the structure's dynamic response to external forces and achieves the desired shock absorption and resistance effects.

[0003] However, the energy dissipation efficiency of a damper is closely related to inter-story displacement. Under frequent earthquakes, the inter-story displacement decreases due to the inherently small seismic response, preventing the damper from fully demonstrating its energy dissipation properties.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application provides a damper displacement amplification device, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown. The damper displacement amplification device includes a first support 1, a second support 2, a third support 3, a limit plate 4, an amplifying lever plate 5, a first connecting rod 6, a first latch 7, a second latch, and a viscous damper 8. The second support 2 and the limit plate 4 are both fixedly connected to the top of the lower cantilever wall 10 and are spaced apart along the length of the lower cantilever wall 10. The limit plate 4 is provided with a horizontal limit hole 41. Specifically, the horizontal limit hole 41 is an oblong hole. One end of the viscous damper 8 is hinged to the second support 2, and the other end thereof is provided with a first mounting hole. The first connecting rod 6 is provided with a second mounting hole corresponding to the first mounting hole. One end of the first latch 7 passes through the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole in sequence and extends into the horizontal limit hole 41, so that the viscous damper 8 and the first connecting rod 6 are slidably connected to the limit plate 4. The connection between the viscous damper 8 and the second support 2 and the horizontal limit hole 41 are located on the same horizontal plane. The side of the first connecting rod 6 facing away from the viscous damper 8 is hinged to the amplifying lever plate 5. The side of the amplifying lever plate 5 facing away from the first connecting rod 6 is hinged to the first support 1. A third mounting hole 51 is provided on the side of the amplifying lever plate 5 facing the first support 1. The first support 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the upper cantilever wall 9. The third support 3 is mounted on the top of the lower cantilever wall 10 and has a fourth mounting hole corresponding to the third mounting hole 51. One end of the second latch passes through the third mounting hole 51 and the fourth mounting hole, respectively, to enable the amplifying lever plate 5 to rotate about the second latch.

[0022] Specifically, the upper cantilever wall 9 and the lower cantilever wall 10 can be reinforced concrete walls or steel support walls. The upper cantilever wall 9 and the lower cantilever wall 10 are connected to the upper and lower frame beams respectively.

[0023] It should be noted that in actual operation, when the horizontal force generated by an earthquake causes inter-story displacement in the structure, the upper frame beam drives the upper cantilever wall 9 to undergo corresponding horizontal displacement, thereby driving the first support 1 connected thereto to undergo horizontal movement. As the first support 1 moves, the amplifying lever plate 5 and the first connecting rod 6 also move accordingly. During this process, the amplifying lever plate 5 rotates around the second latch, effectively amplifying the inter-story displacement through the lever principle between two key points on it (i.e., the distance between the connection with the first support 1 and the second latch, and the distance between the connection with the first connecting rod 6 and the second latch). At the same time, due to the horizontal limiting effect of the limit plate 4, the first connecting rod 6 pulls the viscous damper 8 to move horizontally, achieving a displacement amplification effect. This displacement amplification mechanism enables the viscous damper 8 to fully utilize its damping performance, generating a greater damping force, thereby effectively resisting earthquake effects. Therefore, when the inter-layer displacement of the damper displacement amplification device of the present application is small, the viscous damper 8 can also give full play to its energy consumption characteristics, absorb a large amount of energy, effectively reduce the vibration and displacement of the structure, protect the safety of the building structure and internal facilities, and improve the overall seismic performance of the building.

[0024] In this embodiment of the present application, the damper displacement amplification device further includes a first anchor plate 11 and multiple second anchor plates 12. The multiple second anchor plates 12 are respectively disposed between the first support 1 and the upper cantilever wall 9, and between the second support 2 and the lower cantilever wall 10. The first anchor plate 11 is disposed at the bottom of the limit plate 4 and the third support 3, with the end thereof remote from the limit plate 4 and the third support 3 connected to the lower cantilever wall 10.

[0025] It should be noted that when both the upper cantilever wall 9 and the lower cantilever wall 10 are reinforced concrete walls, the first anchor plate 11 and the second anchor plate 12 can be connected by pre-buried anchor bolts. Specifically, the first support 1 and the second support 2 are respectively welded to the corresponding second anchor plates 12, and the third support 3 and the limit plate 4 are both welded to the first anchor plate 11. This connection method is characterized by high precision and high strength.

[0026] In this embodiment of the present application, the damper displacement amplification device further includes a second connecting rod 13. The ends of the second connecting rod 13 are hingedly connected to the end of the amplification lever plate 5 away from the first connecting rod 6 and the end of the first support 1 away from the upper cantilever wall 9. The third mounting hole 51 is located proximal to the second connecting rod 13.

[0027] It should be noted that the present application utilizes the first connecting rod 6 and the second connecting rod 13 to transform the horizontal motion path of the structure into the arcuate motion path of the amplifying lever plate 5. When the upper cantilever wall 9 experiences horizontal displacement due to seismic forces, this displacement is effectively transmitted to the viscous damper 8 via the second connecting rod 13, the amplifying lever plate 5, and the first connecting rod 6. The amplifying lever plate 5 utilizes the principle of leverage to amplify a relatively small input displacement into a larger one, thereby improving the operating efficiency of the viscous damper 8.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the second connecting rod 13 and the first connecting rod 6 are respectively located on both sides of the amplifying lever plate 5 .

[0029] It should be noted that because the second connecting rod 13 and the first connecting rod 6 are located on either side of the amplifying lever plate 5, they form a stable moment balance system. When external forces such as earthquakes act on the structure, this layout helps reduce the torsion and tilt of the amplifying lever plate 5, thereby ensuring the overall stability of the damper displacement amplification device.

[0030] The present application is not limited to the above structure, and the second connecting rod 13 and the first connecting rod 6 can be located on the same side of the amplifying lever plate 5 .

[0031] In the embodiment of the present application, the distance from the connection between the amplifying lever plate 5 and the second connecting rod 13 to the third mounting hole 51 is a, and the distance from the connection between the amplifying lever plate 5 and the first connecting rod 6 to the third mounting hole 51 is 2a.

[0032] It should be noted that the distance from the connection between the amplified lever plate 5 and the first connecting rod 6 to the third mounting hole 51 is twice the distance from the connection between the second connecting rod 13. This design can more effectively amplify the interlayer displacement and improve the energy consumption efficiency of the viscous damper 8.

[0033] Specifically, a first connection hole and a second connection hole are respectively provided at both ends of the amplifying lever plate 5. The first connection rod 6 is connected to the amplifying lever plate 5 through the first connection hole, and the second connection rod 13 is connected to the amplifying lever plate 5 through the second connection hole. The first connection hole, the third mounting hole 51, and the second connection hole are located on the same straight line.

[0034] The distance from the first connection hole to the third mounting hole 51 is twice the distance from the second connection hole to the third mounting hole 51 .

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the third support 3 is a triangular structure, and the fourth mounting hole is located at the top of the triangular structure.

[0036] It should be noted that setting the fourth mounting hole at the top of the triangular structure is conducive to precise positioning and fixing during the installation process, thereby improving installation efficiency and accuracy.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the damper displacement amplification device further includes a third pin and a fourth pin. The first support 1 includes two first connecting plates 101. The two first connecting plates 101 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel along the width direction of the corresponding second anchor plate 12. Both first connecting plates 101 are provided with a fifth mounting hole. A sixth mounting hole corresponding to the fifth mounting hole is provided on the side of the second connecting rod 13 away from the amplifying lever plate 5. One end of the third pin passes through one of the fifth mounting holes, the sixth mounting hole, and the other fifth mounting hole in sequence. The second support 2 includes two second connecting plates 21. The two second connecting plates 21 are spaced apart and arranged in parallel along the width direction of the corresponding second anchor plate 12. Both second connecting plates 21 are provided with a seventh mounting hole. An eighth mounting hole corresponding to the seventh mounting hole is provided on the side of the viscous damper 8 away from the first connecting rod 6. One end of the fourth pin passes through one of the seventh mounting holes, the eighth mounting hole, and the other seventh mounting hole in sequence.

[0038] It should be noted that the first support 1 includes two parallel first connecting plates 101 spaced apart along the width of the second anchor plate 12. This design makes the first support 1 more stable and capable of withstanding greater horizontal forces and moments. The second support 2 also utilizes two parallel, spaced apart second connecting plates 21, mirroring the design of the first support 1 and maintaining the symmetry and stability of the overall structure.

[0039] Furthermore, the damper displacement amplification device of the present application can adapt to building structures of different heights and spans. By adjusting the length and angle of the amplifying lever plate 5, the displacement amplification factor can be flexibly controlled to meet different engineering requirements.

[0040] The damper displacement amplification device can be directly processed and manufactured in a factory and then installed on site, which reduces on-site operations, ensures welding quality, is more convenient and quick, and saves costs.

[0041] The various embodiments in this specification are described in a progressive manner, and the same or similar parts between the various embodiments can be referenced to each other. Each embodiment focuses on the differences from other embodiments.

[0042] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, a person of ordinary skill in the art should understand that the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments can still be modified, or some or all of the technical features therein can be replaced by equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
