Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of earthquake engineering, especially to a buckling self-resetting damper. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the action of earthquake, the building structure component will enter the nonlinear stage, and a part of the earthquake input energy is dissipated through the elastic-plastic hysteretic energy consumption, so as to control the maximum seismic response of the structure and prevent the structure from collapsing under the action of strong earthquake. However, the structure may still have a large residual deformation after the earthquake, that is, the structure cannot be restored to its initial position, which will result in the loss of building use function and increase the economic cost of post-earthquake repair, and has a great influence on the post-disaster reconstruction work and the recovery of social order.

[0003] However, the existing seismic technology still has significant limitations. Even after the earthquake, the building structure often has a large residual deformation. That is, the structure cannot be restored to its initial position, which has a series of serious impacts: from the perspective of building use function, residual deformation will change the building space and affect the normal use of various facilities inside the building, and even some areas may not be used normally, resulting in the loss of building use function. From the economic cost aspect, a large residual deformation means that more manpower, material resources and financial resources need to be invested in post-earthquake repair work, including reinforcement of the structure, repair of the deformed part, and treatment of damaged decorations and equipment, which greatly increases the economic cost of post-earthquake repair. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a connecting structure or device that can effectively solve the problem of structural residual deformation to improve the recoverability of building structure after the earthquake.

[0004] The utility model aims at providing a buckling self-resetting damper for improving the recoverability of building after the earthquake, reducing the post-earthquake repair cost, and improving the seismic toughness of the building.

[0005] The utility model provides a buckling self-resetting damper, which comprises an internal shear plate, a connecting plate, a stop block, a connecting support, an elastic buckling piece and two external shear plates, the two external shear plates are symmetrically arranged on the two sides of the external shear plate and the connecting plate, a friction plate is arranged between the internal shear plate and the external shear plate, the external shear plate is provided with two first stop holes, the internal shear plate is provided with second stop holes corresponding to the two first stop holes respectively, the stop block passes through the first stop hole and the second stop hole and is fixedly connected with the connecting support, and the two ends of the elastic buckling piece are hingedly connected with the two connecting supports respectively; the connecting plate is fixedly connected with the two external shear plates.

[0010] Further, the elastic bending member comprises a bending plate, both ends of the bending plate are provided with a hinge part, and the connecting support is provided with a hinge groove matched with the hinge part.

[0011] Further, the outer side of the outer shear plate is provided with a raised block between the two first stop holes, and the height of the raised block is equal to the minimum distance from the bending plate to the outer shear plate.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the technical solution are: when the inner shear plate and the connecting plate are relatively sheared, the relative position change between the first stop hole and the second stop hole will push the two stop blocks to produce compression deformation, so as to make the elastic bending unit compression bending, provide a reset force, and at the same time, the friction plate and the inner shear plate are frictionally slipped to dissipate the seismic energy. The nonlinear elastic behavior of the elastic bending member under compression bending is used as the self-resetting mechanism of the damper, and the frictional sliding energy dissipation mechanism is used to provide part of the energy dissipation capacity, so as to realize the expected self-resetting-energy dissipation mechanism.

[0028] Embodiment 1

[0029] As Figures 1-7 shown, the utility model provides a kind of flexure self-resetting damper, including internal shear plate 2, connecting plate 3, stop block 6, connecting support 4, elastic flexure 5 and two external shear plates 1, two external shear plates 1 are symmetrically arranged at the two sides of external shear plate 1 and connecting plate 3;Two pieces of friction plate 7 are arranged between internal shear plate 2 and two external shear plates 1, two pieces of friction plate 7 are respectively symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of elastic flexure 5.Friction plate 7, internal shear plate 2 and external shear plate 1 are connected by high-strength bolt 8, first through hole 71 is formed in friction plate 7, second through hole 11 is formed in external shear plate 1, sliding slot hole 21 is formed in internal shear plate 2, high-strength bolt 8 for fastening friction plate 7 is arranged in first through hole 71, second through hole 11 and sliding slot hole 21, and pre-tightening force is applied to external shear plate 1, internal shear plate 2 and friction plate 7 by high-strength bolt 8.

[0030] The outer shear plate 1 is provided with two first stop holes 13, and the inner shear plate 2 is provided with second stop holes 22 corresponding to the two first stop holes 13 respectively. The length and width of the first stop holes 13 and the second stop holes 22 are completely same, and the edge projection of the first stop holes 13 and the second stop holes 22 is coincident. The stop block 6 passes through the first stop holes 13 and the second stop holes 22 and is fixedly connected with the connecting supports 4 at both ends through high-strength bolts 8. The connecting supports 4 are provided with a plurality of fifth through holes 41, and the stop block 6 is provided with a plurality of sixth through holes 61 corresponding to the fifth through holes 41. During installation, the high-strength bolts 8 are arranged in the fifth through holes 41 and the sixth through holes 61 to fix the stop block 6 and the connecting supports 4. The distance between the two side end faces of the stop block 6 is not less than the distance between the outer surfaces of the two outer shear plates 1. The cross-sectional width of the stop block 6 is less than the cross-sectional width of the first stop holes 13 and the second stop holes 22, so that a certain space is reserved to allow the two stop blocks 6 to move towards each other. In the initial state, the outer side of the stop block 6 inside the first stop holes 13 and the second stop holes 22 is in contact, so that the tendency of the two stop blocks 6 to move away from each other is restrained.

[0031] The two ends of the elastic bending piece 5 are hingedly connected with the two connecting supports 4 respectively. The elastic bending piece 5 comprises a bending plate 51, and the two ends of the bending plate 51 are provided with hinge parts 52.

[0034] Working principle

[0035] When the damper is sheared, i.e. the relative shearing deformation between the inner shearing plate 2 and the connecting plate 3 occurs, the elastic buckling piece 5 will be compressed to generate a restoring force regardless of the deformation direction. When the compression load exceeds the critical value, the buckling plate 51 will lose stability and be bent, and the buckling plate 51 will only be bent outwardly due to the constraint of the protruding block 14 on the outer shearing plate 1, and the load-bearing capacity-compression deformation relationship will enter the nonlinear stage, but since the buckling plate 51 does not yield, it can return to the initial position after unloading, thereby realizing the self-resetting mechanism. On the other hand, when the damper is sheared, the friction plate and the inner shearing plate 2 will slip to consume part of the seismic energy and improve the energy dissipation capacity of the damper, thereby realizing the overall working mechanism of self-resetting and energy dissipation.

[0036] Finally, it should be pointed out that: the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that: it can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
