Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of buckling restraint brace maintenance technology, specifically to a buckling restraint brace maintenance device. Background Technology

[0002] With the accelerating pace of urban modernization, high-rise buildings and large-space public buildings are gradually becoming a trend in urban development, placing higher demands on their earthquake resistance. Currently, the most common earthquake-resistant method is to install partially buckled-restrained braces (BRBs) in frame-shear wall structures. These braces generate frictional or elastoplastic (or viscoelastic) hysteretic deformation to dissipate the energy input from the earthquake, reducing the seismic response of the main structure and achieving a damping effect. This prevents structural damage or collapse during major earthquakes, maximizing the protection of people's lives and property.

[0003] Currently, most buckling-restrained braces (BRBs) in buildings protrude from the secondary masonry wall surface. While this facilitates inspection and maintenance, it hinders wall decoration and poses risks such as vandalism and air aging. A small number of buildings incorporate access panels in their BRBs; while this meets maintenance needs, it compromises the overall aesthetics of the wall and makes it difficult to integrate with the wall decoration. Therefore, while BRBs offer excellent seismic resistance, they also present numerous inconveniences in terms of maintenance, making it difficult to simultaneously achieve both convenient maintenance and seamless wall decoration.

[0004] Therefore, this application proposes a buckling restraint support maintenance device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a buckling restraint support maintenance device that, while satisfying the convenience of maintenance, improves the integration with the wall decoration and enhances the overall aesthetics and harmony of the wall.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A buckling restraint brace maintenance device is disposed between wall panels on both sides of the buckling restraint brace, comprising: two sets of base supports, which are arranged parallel to each other diagonally above and below the buckling restraint brace and symmetrical about the axis of the buckling restraint brace; two sets of slide rails, which are fixedly disposed between the two sets of base supports and located on both sides of the buckling restraint brace; and multiple sliding components, two in a group, which are slidably disposed at the ends of the slide rails corresponding to the ends of the buckling restraint brace.

[0008] Furthermore, an inspection port is provided at the corresponding position of the wall panel and the sliding component. A covering panel with the same size as the inspection port and the same as the outer surface of the wall panel is fixedly provided on the sliding component to cover the inspection port.

[0009] Furthermore, the foundation support includes two channel steels symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buckling restraint support device and multiple connecting rods fixedly arranged between the two channel steels, with the connecting rods located at both ends of the channel steels being fixedly welded to the node plates.

[0010] Furthermore, the slide rail is a rectangular frame, fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of adjacent channel steels in two different sets of foundation supports, including two slide rods fixedly connected to the channel steel and sealing plates connected to both ends of the two slide rods, and the sliding assembly is slidably installed between the two slide rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a mounting frame, a plurality of pulleys rotatably disposed on the mounting frame and inserted into the slide rod, and a mounting plate fixedly disposed on the side of the mounting frame facing the wall panel, wherein the shielding panel is fixedly disposed on the mounting plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the sliding assembly also includes a plurality of elastic self-locking buttons fixedly disposed on the mounting frame and located between the mounting frame and the mounting plate, wherein the telescopic ends of the elastic self-locking buttons are fixedly disposed on the mounting plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the two sliding components arranged on the same set of slide rails are divided into an upper sliding component and a lower sliding component according to their different heights. The two have the same structure, and a baffle is provided on the slide rail below the upper sliding component.

[0014] Furthermore, a connecting plate is provided on the slide rail above the lower sliding assembly, a ball is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate, and a socket that engages with the ball is fixedly provided on the top of the mounting frame of the lower sliding assembly.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0016] This invention features two sets of base supports parallel to the buckling restraint brace (BRB). Two sets of slide rails are positioned between the base supports, and sliding components are mounted on the slide rails. Each sliding component has a shielding panel for sealing the access port. When the shielding panel seals the access port, the entire device is completely covered by the wall panels on both sides of the BRB. The BRB and this device are enclosed between the two wall panels, creating a relatively closed environment. This improves the integrity of the wall decoration while reducing the risk of damage and air aging caused by the exposed BRB. When maintenance or repair is required, the sliding components, along with the shielding panels, slide along the slide rails, exposing the access port for easy access by maintenance personnel.

[0029] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1-10 As shown, this utility model provides a buckling restraint brace maintenance device, which is disposed between the wall panels 5 on both sides of the buckling restraint brace 2, and includes:

[0031] Two sets of base supports 1 are arranged parallel to each other diagonally above and below the buckling restraint support device 2, and are symmetrical about the axis of the buckling restraint support device 2; two sets of slide rails 3 are fixedly arranged between the two sets of base supports 1 and located on both sides of the buckling restraint support device 2; multiple sliding components 4, two in a group, are slidably arranged at both ends of the slide rails 3 corresponding to the ends of the buckling restraint support device 2. An inspection port 6 is provided at the position corresponding to the sliding component 4 on the wall panel 5. A covering panel 7 of the same size as the inspection port 6 and the same as the outer surface of the wall panel 5 is fixedly installed on the sliding component 4 to cover the inspection port 6.

[0032] In use, the entire device is completely covered by the wall panels 5 on both sides of the buckling restraint support device 2. When the shielding panel 7 blocks the access port 6, the buckling restraint support device 2 and the device are enclosed between the two wall panels 5, in a relatively closed state. This improves the integrity of the wall decoration and reduces the risk of human damage and air aging caused by the exposure of the buckling restraint support device 2. When maintenance and repair of the buckling restraint support device 2 are required, the sliding component 4 together with the shielding panel 7 set on the sliding component 4 is slid along the slide rail 3 to expose the access port 6, making it convenient for staff to carry out maintenance or repair operations.

[0033] It is worth explaining that the maintenance of the buckling restraint support device 2 is generally carried out at the weld between its steel core and the node plate 8, as well as at the joint between the steel core and the restraint component, which are all located at the end of the buckling restraint support device 2. Therefore, the maintenance port 6 needs to be opened at this position.

[0034] In one embodiment, the base support 1 includes two channel steels 101 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the buckling restraint support device 2 and multiple connecting rods 102 fixedly arranged between the two channel steels 101. The connecting rods 102 located at both ends of the channel steels 101 are fixedly welded to the node plate 8.

[0035] This design allows the channel steel 101 to be set stably and provides a reliable mounting base for the slide rail 3.

[0036] In one embodiment, the slide rail 3 is a rectangular frame, fixedly mounted on the opposite surfaces of adjacent channel steels 101 in two different sets of base supports 1. It includes two slide rods 31 fixedly connected to the channel steels 101 and sealing plates 32 connected to both ends of the two slide rods 31. The sliding assembly 4 is slidably mounted between the two slide rods 31. The sliding assembly 4 includes a mounting frame 41, a plurality of pulleys 42 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 41 and inserted into the slide rods 31, and a mounting plate 43 fixedly mounted on the side of the mounting frame 41 facing the wall panel 5. The shielding panel 7 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 43.

[0037] With this design, the mounting frame 41 can slide smoothly along the slide rod 31 via the pulley 42 inserted in the slide rod 31, while the sealing plate 32 blocks the slots at both ends of the slide rod 31 to prevent the mounting frame 41 from sliding out of the slide rod 31. When the mounting frame 41 slides, it slides together with the mounting plate 43 and the cover plate 7, so that the cover plate 7 can block the access port 6 or be removed from the access port 6, exposing the access port 6.

[0038] In one embodiment, the sliding component 4 further includes a plurality of elastic self-locking buttons 44 fixedly disposed on the mounting frame 41 and located between the mounting frame 41 and the mounting plate 43, wherein the telescopic ends of the elastic self-locking buttons 44 are fixedly disposed on the mounting plate 43.

[0039] With this design, when the cover panel 7 blocks the access port 6, the telescopic end of the elastic self-locking button 44 is in an extended state, and the cover panel 7 is flush with the outer surface of the wall panel 5, ensuring the integrity of the wall decoration. When it is necessary to expose the access port 6, press the cover panel 7 first, causing the telescopic end of the elastic self-locking button 44 to retract, and the cover panel 7 is recessed into the wall panel 5, preventing interference between the cover panel 7 and the wall panel 5 during the sliding process of the sliding component 4. After the maintenance is completed, slide the cover panel 7 to the corresponding position of the access port 6, press the cover panel 7 again, and the telescopic end of the elastic self-locking button 44 will reset, and the cover panel 7 will return to a flush state with the wall panel 5.

[0040] It is worth explaining that the elastic self-locking button 44 is a common mechanical component in the mechanical field and daily life. Its working characteristics are: after a single press, the telescopic end of the elastic self-locking button 44 retracts and maintains this retracted state; after pressing again, the telescopic end of the elastic self-locking button 44 extends and returns to its original position. Because it is a common component, it will not be described in detail here.

[0041] In one embodiment, two sliding components 4 disposed on the same set of slide rails 3 are divided into an upper sliding component 401 and a lower sliding component 402 according to their different heights. The two have the same structure, and a baffle 9 is disposed on the slide rail 3 below the upper sliding component 401.

[0042] This design utilizes the blocking effect of the baffle 9 on the upper sliding component 401 to limit its sliding range, preventing the upper sliding component 401 from sliding down the slide rail 3 under its own gravity and coming into contact with the lower sliding component 402.

[0043] In one embodiment, a connecting plate 10 is provided on the slide rail 3 above the lower sliding assembly 402, a ball bearing 11 is provided at the bottom of the connecting plate 10, and a socket 12 that is inserted and engaged with the ball bearing 11 is fixedly provided on the top of the mounting frame 41 of the lower sliding assembly 402.

[0044] This design allows the sliding component 402 to slide upwards, inserting the socket 12 into the contact ball 11. The sliding component 402 is then positioned so that the corresponding access port 6 is always exposed, facilitating maintenance operations. After maintenance is completed, simply pull down the sliding component 402 to separate the contact ball 11 from the socket 12. The sliding component 402 then returns to its free-sliding state, allowing the operator to slide it to re-seal the access port 6.

[0045] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention.

[0046] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture. If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0047] Furthermore, "multiple" refers to two or more. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of a person skilled in the art to implement them. If the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.
