TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of two-stage composite dampers of friction buckling, which can be used as supporting members in fabricated frame, and also can be used in corresponding reinforcement field. BACKGROUND
[0002] As one of the disasters with extremely destructive power in nature, earthquakes pose a severe challenge to the safety and stability of building structures. Although traditional building structure design has taken into account certain seismic measures, under the action of strong earthquakes, the inherent damping of the structure often fails to effectively dissipate all the input seismic energy, which may lead to serious damage or even collapse of the structure.
[0003] In order to improve the seismic performance of building structures, the innovative technology of energy dissipation damper is introduced in modern seismic design concept. The energy dissipation damper utilizes its own hysteretic characteristics to absorb and dissipate the energy transmitted to the structure by seismic waves when an earthquake occurs, thereby reducing the seismic response of the structure. This mechanism is equivalent to installing buckling energy dissipation components at some specific parts of the building structure, which can significantly improve the damping ratio of the structure while increasing the stiffness of the structure body, effectively reducing the displacement and acceleration response of the structure. However, the damper with a single yielding mechanism has a significantly reduced stiffness after yielding, resulting in an increase in lateral deformation of the structure under strong earthquakes, which may cause excessive deformation damage to non-structural components or structural components, and is not conducive to post-earthquake repair.
[0004] To solve the above problems, the utility model provides a kind of two-stage composite dampers of friction buckling. Two L-shaped cover plates are designed on the upper part of the component and connected to the friction steel plate by bolts, which not only facilitates installation and disassembly, but also provides sufficient connection strength to ensure that the damper will not be damaged under stress. To ensure the symmetry of the structure, four tapered steel rods are provided at the lower part of the component. The lower tapered steel rods are connected to the friction steel plate through the middle steel plate, which enhances the integrity and stability of the damper, allowing the lower tapered steel rods to more effectively transfer and dissipate energy when they are in operation. The cover plate is connected to the bottom of the H-shaped steel beam by bolts, and has two-stage energy dissipation mode to dissipate energy. When subjected to external force, the cover plate and the friction steel plate slide and rub to dissipate energy. When the displacement is greater than the slip clearance, the lower tapered steel rods are activated to increase the stiffness. When the yield point is reached, the lower tapered steel rods enter the plastic deformation stage to continue to dissipate energy stably. The damper significantly reduces the damage suffered by the structural components by combining friction energy dissipation and metal buckling energy dissipation, thereby effectively protecting the integrity and safety of the main structure. Compared with existing dampers, the damper has a simple structure and reliable connection, so the maintenance cost is low during use, and it is easy to check and replace. Its energy dissipation mechanism is intuitive and clear, and can achieve the effects of phased yielding, two-stage energy dissipation and stiffness enhancement. SUMMARY

[0022] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0023] like Figures 1-4As shown, a two-stage composite damper of frictional buckling includes an L-shaped cover plate (1), a friction steel plate (2), a conical steel rod (3), a middle steel plate (4), a bolt (5), and a bottom support (6). The two L-shaped cover plates (1) and the friction steel plate (2) are connected by the bolt (5), the two L-shaped cover plates (1) are connected back to back, and the friction steel plate (2) is clamped in the middle. The bolt hole in the friction steel plate (2) is an oval hole 7 with a long axis in the horizontal direction, similar to a runway-shaped bolt hole. Two circular bolt holes are provided in the two L-shaped cover plates (1), and the diameter of the circular bolt hole is smaller than the length of the long axis of the oval hole 7. In this way, under the action of horizontal reciprocating force, sliding displacement can occur between the L-shaped cover plate (1) and the friction steel plate (2), and energy can be dissipated through sliding friction between the two.
[0024] The conical steel rod (3) is provided with four conical steel rods (3), one end of the four conical steel rods (3) is fixed to the lower surface of the middle steel plate (4), the friction steel plate (2) is fixed to the lower surface of the middle steel plate (4), for example, the connection can be achieved by welding, the other end of the four conical steel rods (3) is welded to the bottom support (6), and two bolt holes are provided in the top of each L-shaped cover plate (1). During use, the two L-shaped cover plates (1) are fixedly connected to the bottom of the H-shaped steel beam by four bolts 5.
[0025] Each conical steel rod (3) includes two conical steel rods, the tips of the two conical steel rods are fixed together, the ratio of the diameter of the end of the conical steel rod (3) to the middle diameter is greater than 3.2:1, and the ratio of the length of the conical steel rod (3) to the end diameter is greater than 4:1.
[0026] The thickness of the L-shaped cover plate (1) and the friction steel plate (2) is 8mm-15mm.
[0027] When subjected to external force, such as finite element model analysis Figure 7 As shown, through finite element simulation, the ratio of the length of the conical steel rod (3) to the end diameter is greater than 4:1. Based on the data of damper test, the friction coefficient between the L-shaped cover plate (1) and the friction steel plate (2) is 0.2-0.25, and the friction force is adjusted by adjusting the pre-tightening force of the bolt (5) between the L-shaped cover plate (1) and the friction steel plate (2). The control condition of the damper is formula (1):
[0028]

[0030] The L-shaped cover plate and the friction steel plate slide to dissipate energy; when the displacement is greater than the anti-slip gap, the lower conical steel rod is driven to participate in the energy dissipation work, thereby increasing the stiffness, and when reaching the yield point, the lower conical steel rod enters the plastic deformation stage to continue to stably dissipate energy, thereby reducing the damage of the structural member and achieving the effect of protecting the main structure. The hysteresis curve of the frictional buckling two-stage composite damper is shown in Figure 8 The hysteresis curve of the frictional buckling two-stage composite damper is shown in
