Technical Field

[0002] As the foundation of human life and production, the safety and stability of civil engineering structures are of paramount importance. Especially in earthquake-prone areas, the seismic performance of civil engineering structures becomes a core consideration in design and construction. To improve the seismic resistance of civil engineering structures and reduce losses caused by earthquakes, seismic-resistant technologies have been extensively researched and developed.
[0003] In the development of seismic technology, seismic testing has played a crucial role. By simulating the structural response under seismic loads, seismic tests can assess the seismic performance of structures, providing key data support for optimizing structural design and improving seismic performance. However, existing seismic test benches mainly rely on motor-driven reciprocating mechanisms to achieve the reciprocating movement of the test bench. The movement frequency of the test bench can only be controlled by the motor, resulting in certain limitations in the simulation of seismic environments and structural responses of existing seismic test devices. Utility Model Content

[0019] The present invention will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined in this application.
[0020] Example: A seismic testing device for civil engineering structures
[0021] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a seismic testing device for civil engineering structures includes the following specific structures:
[0022] The base 1 and the test bench 2 are slidably installed with the base 1. Slide rails 3 are fixedly installed on the front and rear sides of the top surface of the base 1, and sliders 4 are slidably installed on each slide rail 3. The top surface of each slider 4 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the test bench 2. The test bench 2 is driven to move left and right by an adjustable reciprocating mechanism, and the adjustable reciprocating mechanism is installed on one side of the top surface of the base 1.
[0023] The adjustable reciprocating mechanism includes a motor 5 installed on one side of the top surface of the base 1. The motor 5 is electrically connected to a power source. A disc 6 is fixedly installed at the output end of the motor 5. A lifting assembly is fixedly installed in front of the disc 6. A connecting plate 7 is fixedly installed at the center of the bottom surface of the test bench 2. A push rod 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the connecting plate 7 facing the motor 5. A rocker arm 9 is rotatably installed at one end of the push rod 8. The other end of the rocker arm 9 is rotatably connected to the lifting assembly.
[0024] When conducting seismic tests, the motor 5 is powered on and operates. The output shaft of the motor 5 drives the disk 6 connected to it to rotate synchronously. At this time, the disk 6 drives the rocker arm 9 to swing through the lifting assembly, thereby causing the rocker arm 9 to continuously drive the push rod 8 to reciprocate left and right. In turn, the push rod 8 drives the test platform 2 to reciprocate through the connecting plate 7. The frequency of the push rod 8's left and right movement can be changed by changing the speed of the motor 5, thereby changing the movement frequency of the test platform 2. It can realize seismic testing of the structural component under different vibration frequencies as needed.
[0025] The lifting assembly includes a hollow support block 10. A through slot 11 is provided on the front of the support block 10. A movable block 12 is slidably installed inside the support block 10. A threaded sleeve is provided at the center of the top surface of the movable block 12. An adjusting screw 13 is threadedly installed inside the threaded sleeve. The upper end of the adjusting screw 13 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the inner wall of the support block 10. The adjusting screw 13 vertically penetrates the bottom of the movable block 12 and is connected to its bearing. A connecting column 14 is fixedly installed on the front of the movable block 12. The connecting column 14 extends through the through slot 11 to the outside of the support block 10, and the connecting column 14 longitudinally penetrates one end of the rocker arm 9 and is connected to its bearing.
[0026] In use, this structural design allows the moving block 12, which is threadedly engaged with the adjusting screw 13, to move axially along the support block 10, thereby changing the distance between the moving block 12 and the center of the disk 6. This, in turn, adjusts the distance between the right end of the rocker arm 9 and the center of the disk 6. The smaller the distance between the right end of the rocker arm 9 and the center of the disk 6, the faster the rocker arm 9 swings, and the smaller the movement distance of the push rod 8 and the test platform 2. Conversely, the larger the distance between the right end of the rocker arm 9 and the center of the disk 6, the slower the rocker arm 9 swings, and the larger the movement distance of the push rod 8 and the test platform 2. Users can adjust this independently according to their testing needs, greatly improving the convenience and controllability of the device.
[0027] The motor 5 is a stepper motor. A stepper motor is an open-loop control element that converts electrical pulse signals into angular or linear displacement, offering advantages such as high positioning accuracy, simple control, and no cumulative error. In this device, the stepper motor can precisely control the rotation angle and speed of the disk 6, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the movement frequency and amplitude of the test bench 2. This precise control capability makes the seismic test results more accurate and reliable, helping researchers to conduct more in-depth analysis and research on the seismic performance of civil engineering structures.
[0028] Several evenly distributed connecting rods 15 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the push rod 8, and the upper ends of the connecting rods 15 are all fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the test bench 2. This structural design not only increases the connection strength between the push rod 8 and the test bench 2, but also allows the test bench 2 to move more smoothly when subjected to reciprocating thrust, avoiding swaying or displacement caused by uneven force. At the same time, the evenly distributed connecting rods 15 also enable the test bench 2 to maintain good overall stability when subjected to large loads, thereby ensuring the accuracy and safety of the seismic test.
