Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dampers, in particular to a metal damper used for bridge shock absorption and energy consumption. Background Art

[0002] The main function of a damper is to absorb and reduce vibration or shock energy. It is commonly used in various engineering structures and mechanical systems. Dampers play a very important role in bridge engineering. The installation of dampers can effectively reduce bridge vibration, improve driving comfort, reduce fatigue damage to the bridge structure, extend the service life of the bridge, and ensure the safety and stability of the bridge. For long-span bridges, especially suspension bridges and cable-stayed bridges, the action of wind may cause vibration phenomena such as vortex vibration and flutter on the bridge. Installing dampers can significantly reduce the impact of wind vibration and improve the performance and safety of the bridge under wind.

[0003] Common bridge dampers include hydraulic dampers, friction dampers, and metal dampers. Metal dampers rely on the plastic deformation of metal materials to absorb energy and achieve vibration reduction. However, metal materials are prone to fatigue failure under cyclic loading, making them unable to fully reset after plastic deformation, which affects repeated use and reduces their damping effectiveness.

[0015] Furthermore, a spring tube is fixedly connected between the slider 1 and the slider 2 and is sleeved on the outside of the support rod; the spring tube has rigidity.

[0016] One or more technical solutions provided in the embodiments of the present application have at least the following technical effects or advantages: when the top plate is subjected to vertical or lateral forces, the metal damping plate 1 and the metal damping plate 2 are simultaneously deformed by the forces along with the metal damping plate 3, thereby reducing the vibration of the top plate.
