Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of horizontal force monitoring of energy dissipation shock absorbers, in particular to a horizontal force monitoring device for energy dissipation shock absorbers. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the release of the new version of the seismic zoning map in China, the seismic fortification intensity of a large number of regions has been significantly improved. Especially in high-intensity fortification regions and earthquake key monitoring and prevention zones, the traditional "hard resistance" seismic method has been difficult to meet the safety needs of buildings. In order to meet this challenge, the State has promulgated the "Regulations on the Seismic Management of Construction Projects", which clearly stipulates that important public facilities such as schools and hospitals should adopt seismic isolation and mitigation technology. Energy dissipation shock absorbers, as an effective seismic measure, are widely used in these buildings, which can absorb and dissipate energy when earthquakes occur, thereby reducing the damage risk of buildings by being installed between the upper and lower walls.

[0003] However, in practical applications, the existing energy dissipation shock absorbers mainly focus on reducing the instantaneous damage of earthquakes to buildings, and lack effective monitoring means for the health status of buildings after earthquakes. For example, the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN118032185A discloses a device for measuring the horizontal tension of a product, which comprises a force gauge, a support assembly, a pulley assembly and a traction rope. The traction rope includes a first traction rope, one end of which is fixed to the force gauge, the other end of which passes through a fixed pulley and is fixed to the product. The force gauge can drive the first traction rope to move, thereby realizing the measurement of the horizontal tension of the product.

[0004] The above-mentioned device has a simple structure and is easy to operate, but it is mainly used for static or low-frequency horizontal force measurement. Once applied to energy dissipation shock absorbers, it cannot effectively adapt to the high-frequency and high-intensity horizontal force changes caused by seismic transverse waves, resulting in obvious deficiencies in the health status monitoring of energy dissipation shock absorbers after earthquakes, especially the inability to accurately monitor the horizontal force of the wall in real time, which increases the difficulty of post-earthquake evaluation and repair work and affects the long-term safety and reliability of the building. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0005] In order to improve the safety detection of buildings, the application provides a horizontal force monitoring device for energy dissipation shock absorbers.

[0006] The horizontal force monitoring device for energy dissipation shock absorbers provided by the application adopts the following technical scheme:

[0008] Through the above technical scheme, when the energy dissipation shock absorber is subjected to horizontal force in the earthquake process, the rolling ball will roll along the guide chute, and the signal sending module will move and continuously send signals to the signal receiving module. These signal receiving modules can capture the position change of the rolling ball in real time and transmit the data to the external processing system, thereby realizing dynamic monitoring of the horizontal force of the energy dissipation shock absorber. This design not only improves the monitoring accuracy, but also ensures the continuity and reliability of data acquisition, which helps to discover potential safety hazards in time and improve the seismic performance and safety of buildings.

[0034] Referring to Figure 1When the energy dissipation damper is subjected to horizontal force during the earthquake, the rolling ball 3 will roll along the guide chute 2, the signal sending module 6 on the rolling ball 3 will move and continuously send signals to the signal receiving module 7 connected to it, the corresponding signal receiving module 7 receives the signal sent by the signal sending module 6, and transmits the real-time position information to the external processing system, thereby realizing dynamic monitoring of the horizontal force of the energy dissipation damper. The displacement of the rolling ball 3 can also be directly observed by the scale mark 51 on the scale 5, and the rolling ball 3 can be quickly reset under the action of the stretching piece 4.

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 , the fixed shell 1 includes a base plate 11, a frame 12 and a top cover 13. The base plate 11 is made of thick steel plate or cast iron to provide a stable support base. The frame 12 is made of light and strong material such as aluminum alloy or carbon fiber to reduce the overall weight and is fixedly arranged on the top of the base plate 11. The top cover 13 is made of transparent material such as acrylic or glass to facilitate observation of the working state of the internal components. The top cover 13 is opened or closed by a locking part, which can be a bolt, a buckle or other quick release clamp. In this embodiment, the buckle is used to realize the installation between the top cover 13 and the frame 12, which facilitates the opening and closing of the top cover 13.

[0036] Referring to Figure 1 , the outer side wall of the frame 12 away from the scale 5 is fixedly provided with a mounting frame 8, and a plurality of through holes 81 are uniformly distributed on the mounting frame 8. Each through hole 81 is provided for a bolt to pass through to fix the mounting frame 8 on the side wall of the building.

When the external horizontal force acts on the rolling ball 3, the tension spring will be stretched or compressed, so that the rolling ball 3 rolls smoothly in the guide chute 2.

[0041] The implementation principle of the horizontal force monitoring device of the energy dissipation shock absorber according to the embodiment of the present application is that the device senses the change of the horizontal force by the rolling of the rolling ball 3 in the guide chute 2, and makes the movement of the rolling ball 3 more smooth and stable through the driving rod 31 and the stretching member 4. The real-time monitoring is realized through the signal sending module 6 and the signal receiving module 7.
