Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a device with both vibration reduction and isolation functions, belonging to the field of building seismic isolation technology. Background Technology
[0002] Earthquake isolation measures for buildings rely solely on seismic isolation bearings. Based on their damping motion, bearings can be categorized into two types: sliding bearings and pendulum bearings. Due to their different motion patterns, these two types of bearings offer different damping effects, effectively mitigating different wave patterns. Pendulum bearings significantly reduce the longitudinal component of wave motion, while sliding bearings ideally reduce the lateral component. However, in practical applications, the bearing location is fixed, while the earthquake's location is uncertain. This necessitates that bearings possess both pendulum and sliding functions to cope with seismic waves under various conditions. Currently, only sliding bearings are widely used in the market, while the application of pendulum bearings faces a significant technical challenge: ensuring the structure does not separate during pendulum motion, as separation would generate longitudinal forces, which can cause severe damage, especially in the epicenter. Therefore, an ideal bearing that can achieve both pendulum and sliding motion while remaining durable is a long-awaited goal and a technical challenge that is being actively researched and overcome both domestically and internationally.
[0003] CN 221941619 U discloses a sliding pendulum support with magnetic damping properties, which is the applicant's patent. This patent makes the middle sliding pendulum body of the pendulum support an isolation plate, allowing the support to slide during swinging and swing during sliding. It adds a magnetic damping effect to limit the support's lateral and longitudinal movement, avoiding direct impact. A constraint frame is designed to prevent and limit the separation of the support. However, in actual experiments, the patent has the following problems: the contact surface between the bottom surface of the isolation plate and the base is flat, making it difficult to return to its original position after horizontal sliding; horizontal sliding relies on strong magnetic damping, but the magnets only generate a strong magnetic force when close together, and the magnetic force is very weak when far apart, resulting in a large sliding amplitude of the isolation plate; the constraint frame is composed of plug-in rods and connecting rods, which, while providing constraint, lacks damping. Therefore, this patent cannot be applied in practice. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a device that can achieve both swinging and sliding, with good shock absorption effect and low cost, and complete shock absorption and isolation functions.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model includes a top cap, a middle swing body, a support column, and four connecting rods. The top cap consists of a circular platform and four lugs at equal intervals along the circumference, connected at obtuse angles to the edge of the circular platform. The lower surface of the circular platform has an inwardly concave arc surface in the center, and each lug has a transverse elongated through hole. The middle swing body is a short column with two convex arc surfaces at its bottom. The upper surface of the support column has a corresponding inwardly concave arc surface. The middle swing body is placed on the support column, and the top cap rests on top of the middle swing body. The connecting rods utilize shock absorbers. Four connecting bases are evenly spaced around the support column at the same height on the upper part of the column. One end of each connecting rod is connected to a connecting base using a universal joint, and the other end of the connecting rod is inserted into the elongated through hole of the corresponding lug. Connecting rod limiting plates, fixed to the connecting rods, are provided on both sides of the lugs, allowing the connecting rods to slide laterally relative to the lugs.
[0007] The intermediate pendulum body is a metal body or a rubber body.
[0008] A liner is provided on the arc surface of the circular platform and the upper end surface of the support column.
[0009] The liner is made of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE).
[0010] Four connecting hooks are evenly spaced on the same circumference of the circular platform. The lower end of each connecting hook is connected to a metal ring chain, and the other end of the metal ring chain is connected to a connecting rod.
[0011] The metal chain is in a relaxed state when there is no vibration.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It integrates the functional advantages of pendulum bearings and sliding bearings, giving it an ideal seismic isolation and mitigation effect for both near and far earthquakes, and enabling the device to meet the basic conditions for coping with various seismic fluctuations; This utility model adds a constraint mechanism, solving the problem of upper and lower body separation in the structure of pendulum bearings; By configuring a damping device, not only is its damping performance enhanced, but the problem of difficult post-earthquake reset in sliding bearings is also solved.
