Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering equipment, in particular to a shock-absorbing support for bridge design. Background Art

[0002] As a vital component of transportation infrastructure, the safety and stability of bridges are of paramount importance. Natural disasters such as earthquakes place higher demands on the safety performance of bridge structures. Traditional bridge bearings often suffer damage during strong earthquakes due to a lack of effective shock absorption mechanisms, leading to structural damage and functional disruption.

[0003] The patent with announcement number CN220977685U discloses a shock-absorbing bearing for bridge design. In this patent, the shock-absorbing main core is located in the center between the upper connecting steel plate and the lower connecting steel plate of the bearing body, and plays the main load-bearing and shock-absorbing role. When the bridge vibrates, the shock-absorbing main core can absorb and disperse the vibration energy through the action of the rubber layer and the lead core, reduce the impact of the vibration on the bridge, improve the shock-absorbing effect of the bridge and the durability of the structure. The sealing design can also ensure the stability and safety of the shock-absorbing main core.

[0004] However, since the shock-absorbing main core is connected to the upper connecting steel plate and the lower connecting steel plate, when natural disasters such as earthquakes cause the support to move in the front-to-back direction and the width direction, the upper connecting steel plate and the lower connecting steel plate cannot achieve horizontal displacement, which will cause damage to the shock-absorbing support. In such situations, the shock-absorbing effect cannot be achieved. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 5 The present invention provides a shock-absorbing bearing for bridge design, comprising an upper seat plate 1 and a lower seat plate 2 disposed opposite and spaced apart from each other, and a first friction plate 3, a second friction plate 4, and a friction energy dissipation member 5 disposed between the upper and lower seat plates 1 and 2. The first friction plate 3 is fixedly connected to the upper seat plate 1, while the second friction plate 4 is fixedly connected to the lower seat plate 2. The first friction plate 3 and the friction energy dissipation member 5 are frictionally connected in the front-to-back direction, while the second friction plate 4 and the friction energy dissipation member 5 are frictionally connected in the left-to-right direction.

[0035] When in use, the front-to-back direction of the shock-absorbing support is set to be parallel to the length direction of the bridge, and the left-to-right direction of the shock-absorbing support is set to be parallel to the width direction of the bridge. When a disaster such as an earthquake occurs and horizontal displacement occurs between the upper seat plate 1 and the lower seat plate 2, friction energy consumption can be achieved between the first friction plate 3 and the friction energy absorbing part 5, and between the second friction plate 4 and the friction energy absorbing part 5, and relative displacement can be generated to cope with the impact of the earthquake and achieve the purpose of shock absorption.

[0036] To enhance shock absorption, the friction dissipation member 5 is provided with first through-holes 6 extending in the front-to-back direction, enabling frictional engagement between the first friction plate 3 and the friction plate 3. Furthermore, the first friction plate 3 is provided with a plurality of first strip-shaped through-holes 7 extending in the front-to-back direction. A first fastener 8 is vertically inserted through the friction dissipation member 5, extending through the first strip-shaped through-holes 7 and further enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0037] Similarly, the friction dissipation member 5 is provided with second through-holes 9 extending in the left-right direction, enabling frictional engagement between the second friction plate 4 and the friction dissipation member 5. The second friction plate 4 is also provided with a plurality of second strip-shaped through-holes 10 extending in the left-right direction. First fasteners 8 are provided through the second strip-shaped through-holes 10, ensuring a tight connection between the second friction plate 4 and the friction dissipation member 5.

[0038] To improve friction, friction material layers 11 are fixedly attached to the contact surfaces of the first friction plate 3 and the first through hole 6, and to the contact surfaces of the second friction plate 4 and the second through hole 9. These friction material layers 11 are made of polytetrafluoroethylene, brass plates, or polymer composite materials, all of which have excellent wear resistance and stability.

[0039] To enhance the stability of the support, first friction plate 3 is fixedly connected to first connecting bases 12 at both ends in the front-to-back direction. A first rubber plate 13 is interposed between first connecting base 12 and upper seat plate 1. These components are connected via second fasteners 14. Similarly, second connecting bases 15 are fixedly connected to first friction plate 3 at both ends in the left-to-right direction. A second rubber plate 16 is interposed between second connecting base 15 and lower seat plate 2. These components are connected via third fasteners 17.

[0040] The first rubber plate 13 and the second rubber plate 16 can resist the vibration of the bridge in the vertical direction, thereby achieving a shock-absorbing effect in the vertical direction.

[0041] The upper and lower seat plates 1 and 2 are typically rectangular plates, with four sets of damping rods 19 disposed between them. These damping rods 19 are arranged in a circular array along the vertical center of the friction dissipation element 5 and located at the four corners of the upper seat plate 1. This design effectively disperses vibration energy and improves shock absorption.

[0042] Reference Figure 4 Each damping rod 19 assembly includes a third connecting seat 18 fixedly connected to the upper seat plate 1, a damping rod 19 hinged at one end to the third connecting seat 18, a fourth connecting seat 22, which is tilted and fixedly connected to the lower seat plate 2, and a damping tube 21 hinged at one end to the fourth connecting seat 22. The other end of the damping rod 19 is inserted into the other end of the damping tube 21, and the two are frictionally connected. An SMA spring 20 is disposed within the damping tube 21, with its two ends fixedly connected to the end wall of the damping tube 21 and the other end of the damping rod 19, respectively. This structure can effectively absorb and dissipate vibration energy, thereby protecting the bridge structure from damage.

Therefore, they should not be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0044] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit of the present invention, various modifications and improvements to the technical solutions of the present invention made by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the scope of protection determined by the claims of the present invention.
