Description

[0002] In building structures, in order to improve the safety and stability of the structure under dynamic load such as earthquake and wind vibration, it is often necessary to install a damper to dissipate energy and reduce the vibration response of the structure. The existing viscous damper often has a connection gap when connected to the corresponding structure, which can cause the damper to fail to function in time in the small deformation stage, reducing the efficiency of the damper in controlling the vibration of the structure. When the vibration amplitude of the building structure is small, due to the existence of the gap, the damper cannot immediately participate in energy dissipation work, so that the building structure cannot be effectively damped in the initial vibration stage, which may cause a certain degree of damage to the building structure.

In the following, the specific structure and connection relationship of each part of the gapless viscous damper according to the utility model will be described in detail.

[0032] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The damper body 1 includes a cylinder, a piston 12 and a piston rod 11, the piston 12 is formed with a through hole, the piston 12 is sleeved on the outer side of the piston rod 11 through the through hole and is welded and fixed with the piston rod 11 (that is, there is no relative movement between the two), the piston 12 and the piston rod 11 are arranged in the inside of the cylinder; In addition, a plurality of damping holes are formed in the body of the piston 12. Further, the two ends of the extension direction of the piston rod 11 extend to the outside of the cylinder to form a fixing part of the damper body 1 respectively; Further, the inside of the cylinder is formed into a sealed cavity, and the inside is filled with energy consumption medium. It should be noted that the damper belongs to the existing structure, therefore, the specific structure will not be described again, when the building structure is vibrated under the action of earthquake or wind load, the piston rod 11 of the damper reciprocates relative to the cylinder, thereby driving the piston 12 to reciprocate in the cylinder, and then the energy consumption medium can flow through the damping hole on the piston 12, generate viscous damping force, and realize the preliminary dissipation of vibration energy.

[0033] In the embodiment, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 The fixing part of the damper body 1 is formed with a spherical surface structure, so as to facilitate improving the tightness of the connection with the fixing assembly. Specifically, the fixing part includes a spherical part 111, a transition part 112 and a cylindrical part 113 connected in sequence along a first direction (the first direction is the same as the extension direction of the above-mentioned damper body 1). The spherical part 111 is formed into a hemispherical structure; the transition part 112 is formed into a columnar structure, along the first direction, the diameter of the transition part 112 gradually decreases, and the diameter of the first end of the transition part 112 connected with the spherical part 111 is greater than the second end of the transition part 112 connected with the cylindrical part 113; That is, the fixing part is formed into a structure similar to a bulb.

[0034] Correspondingly, the fixing assembly is formed with a groove corresponding to the fixing part, the fixing part is assembled with the groove corresponding to the fixing part, so that there is no gap between the damper body 1 and the fixing assembly. Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 1As shown, the fixing assembly comprises a first fixing piece 21 connected with the fixing portion correspondingly, and the first fixing piece 21 comprises a base 211 and a clamping piece 212 arranged in sequence along a first direction.

Based on the variable diameter structure of the transition portion 112, the first clamping piece 2121 and the second clamping piece 2122 are clamped from both ends (radially) of the transition portion 112 respectively, so that the transition portion 112 is fitted with the through hole (i.e. the two arc-shaped recesses), and then the first clamping piece 2121 and the second clamping piece 2122 are tightly connected through threaded connection (the threaded hole 3 is shown as follows).
