[0019] The following will be combined Figure 1-Figure 3 A viscous damper for energy dissipation and vibration reduction in a seismic isolation layer according to an embodiment of the utility model is described in detail.

[0020] Example:

[0021] The present invention provides a viscous damper for energy dissipation and vibration reduction of a seismic isolation layer, with reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a viscous damper body 1, the top of the viscous damper body 1 is movably connected to a mounting seat 2, the piston rod end of the viscous damper body 1 is movably connected to a mounting seat 2 3, and an increasing connection piece 4 is fixedly installed on the mounting seat 2 3 by bolts. In this structure, the mounting seat 1 2 is connected to the embedded screw of the pier, and the increasing connection piece 4 is connected to the embedded screw of the bridge body. The increasing connection piece 4 is used to make up for the installation height difference between the mounting seat 2 3 and the bridge body, and then the mounting seat 2 3 is connected to the increasing connection piece 4, so that the viscous damper body 1 is horizontally fixed between the pier and the bridge body. In this way, when an earthquake occurs, the viscous damper body 1 can absorb and consume seismic energy, thereby improving the seismic resistance of the bridge.

[0022] It should be noted that the viscous damper is a prior art technology, and its principle is publicly known. It is based on the energy dissipation properties of viscous materials. Viscous materials are typically polymers with viscous damping properties. Under normal circumstances, viscous materials exhibit low stiffness and low damping effect. However, when subjected to external forces, they deform and generate internal friction, thereby absorbing and dissipating energy.

[0023] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the heightening connector 4 includes a lower mounting plate 5 and an upper mounting plate 6, the lower mounting plate 5 is connected to the mounting seat 2 3, a lower trough frame 7 is welded on the lower mounting plate 5, an upper trough frame 8 is welded on the upper mounting plate 6, four adjusting long bolts 9 are connected between the lower trough frame 7 and the upper trough frame 8 through nuts, and two opposite reinforcing plates 10 are welded between the lower trough frame 7 and the upper trough frame 8. This structure, the lower mounting plate 5, the upper mounting plate 6, the adjusting long bolts 9 and the reinforcing plate 10 constitute a heightening connector 4 that can be freely adjusted in height according to the height difference on site, and the upper mounting plate 6 is connected to the embedded screw of the bridge body;

[0024] During the actual adjustment and installation, the personnel adjust the position of the long bolt 9 on the lower trough frame 7 to adjust the height of the entire height-increasing connector 4 to adapt to the installation height difference between the bridge body and the mounting seat 2 3. Then the personnel cut the reinforcement plate 10 of appropriate size on site and weld it to the lower trough frame 7 and the upper trough frame 8, thereby improving the shear resistance of the height-increasing connector 4.

[0025] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the mounting base 2 includes a connecting plate 11 and two support plates 12. The two support plates 12 are welded to the connecting plate 11. The viscous damper body 1 is movably connected to the support plates 12 via a pin. In this structure, the viscous damper body 1 is connected to the connecting plate 11 via the support plates 12. The connecting plate 11 is connected to the embedded screws of the pier, thereby connecting the bottom of the viscous damper body 1 to the pier.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 As shown, the mounting seat 2 3 includes a connecting plate 2 13 and two support plates 2 14. The two support plates 1 12 are welded to the connecting plate 2 13. The piston rod of the viscous damper body 1 is movably connected to the support plate 2 14 through a pin. In this structure, the piston rod of the viscous damper body 1 is connected to the connecting plate 2 13 through the support plate 2 14, and the connecting plate 2 13 is connected to the bridge body through the heightening connector 4, thereby connecting the piston rod of the viscous damper body 1 to the bridge body.

[0027] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the four through holes 15 of the lower trough frame 7 are passed through the long adjusting bolts 9 . This structure utilizes the through holes 15 to facilitate the connection between the long adjusting bolts 9 and the lower trough frame 7 .

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the four through holes 16 of the upper trough frame 8 are passed through the two adjusting long bolts 9 . This structure utilizes the two through holes 16 to facilitate the connection between the adjusting long bolts 9 and the trough frame 8 .

[0029] The implementation principle of a viscous damper for energy dissipation and shock absorption of a seismic isolation layer in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when installing the viscous damper main body 1, the personnel first connects the connecting plate 11 of the mounting seat 2 with the embedded bolts of the bridge pier, thereby connecting the bottom of the viscous damper main body 1 to the bridge pier, and then the personnel connects the upper mounting plate 6 of the heightened connecting member 4 with the embedded bolts of the bridge body, and then according to the height difference between the bridge body and the mounting seat 2 3, the personnel adjusts the position of the long bolt 9 by adjusting the lower slot frame 7, thereby adjusting the height of the entire heightened connecting member 4 to adapt to the installation height difference between the bridge body and the mounting seat 2 3. After the adjustment, the personnel connects the support plate 2 13 of the mounting seat 2 3 with the lower mounting plate 5, thereby horizontally connecting the viscous damper main body 1 to the bridge body, and then the personnel cuts a reinforcement plate 10 of appropriate size on site and welds it to the lower slot frame 7 and the upper slot frame 8, thereby improving the shear resistance of the heightened connecting member 4.
