Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of amplification type metal composite viscoelastic damper. BACKGROUND

[0002] Adding damper in building structure can effectively reduce the influence of seismic load, wind load etc. on the safety of main structure, and improve the strong earthquake resistance of building. Metal damper can consume a large amount of seismic or wind vibration energy due to its good hysteresis energy dissipation characteristics and stable performance, thereby reducing the damage of building under various horizontal loads, and effectively reducing the life and property loss caused by earthquake or wind vibration, which is regarded as the first line of defense of building structure. Developing new materials and designing new energy dissipation mode have become the main direction of metal damper development.

[0003] However, most metal dampers have single energy dissipation mode, which cannot meet the needs of buildings under different earthquake levels, and most dampers are disposable, so that the energy dissipation capacity of the damper is reduced or even lost after the destruction of the energy dissipation component, and the damper cannot be recycled.

[0004] Metal damper can only play a good energy dissipation effect under large interlayer displacement and speed of structure. If the interlayer displacement and speed of structure are relatively small, the metal damper cannot provide sufficient damping force, and the damping effect is not ideal. In engineering practice, in order to increase the damping force of damper, the size of damper is often increased to achieve this, which not only increases the construction cost, but also affects the use function of building. Although the existing patent can solve the problem that damper cannot provide sufficient damping force under small interlayer displacement by adding displacement amplification device, the above amplification device will still amplify the relative displacement of damper when the interlayer displacement is large, so that it exceeds the allowable limit displacement, and the damper is destroyed and lost.

[0043] The viscoelastic layer adopts high-damping viscoelastic material;

[0044] In the embodiment of the utility model, the distance between the hinge shaft between the upper connecting plate and the amplification lever and the fulcrum shaft is smaller than the distance between the fulcrum shaft and the pin shaft.

[0045] In the embodiment of the utility model, the bottom of the outer steel plate is fixedly provided with a horizontal bottom plate 17.

[0048] In the embodiment of the utility model, the working principle of the amplification type metal composite viscoelastic damper is:

[0049] After the main body structure of the damper is assembled, the high-strength bolts of the friction area are pre-tightened to generate a normal pressure at the interface between the friction plate and the core plate. When the damping force is less than the limit friction force between the T-shaped core plate and the brass friction plate, the damping force is transmitted to the upper connecting plate through the L-shaped constraint plate, the upper connecting plate is displaced and drives the amplification lever to rotate around the fulcrum shaft, so that the inner steel plate is displaced. Because the distance between the hinged shaft between the upper connecting plate and the amplification lever and the fulcrum shaft is smaller than the distance between the fulcrum shaft and the pin shaft, the displacement of the inner steel plate is greater than that of the upper connecting plate, so that displacement amplification is realized. The viscoelastic layer between the inner steel plate and the outer steel plate starts to shear deformation to provide energy dissipation when the inner steel plate moves, which has good hysteresis characteristics and large damping performance. A certain gap is left between the inner steel plate and the bottom plate to facilitate the movement of the inner steel plate. When the damping force of the damper exceeds the limit friction force, the viscoelastic layer continues to work, but due to the setting of the groove hole on the T-shaped core plate, the relative displacement between the friction area and the L-shaped constraint plate begins to appear, and the pre-tightened high-strength bolt begins to slide in the groove hole. The fixed area of the T-shaped core plate and the L-shaped constraint plate are connected by high-strength bolts without pre-tightening, and will not produce relative displacement, so the upper and lower ends of the energy dissipation web will produce relative displacement, that is, the energy dissipation web starts to deform and dissipate energy. The initial position of the pre-tightened high-strength bolt is in the center of the groove hole to cope with the back and forth displacement, and at the same time, the maximum deformation degree of the energy dissipation web is controlled by the length of the groove hole. When the pre-tightened high-strength bolt slides to the end of the groove hole, the energy dissipation web yields and exits the work, and the damper enters the secondary energy dissipation stage, and the viscoelastic layer continues to work until it yields.

[0050] In actual work, the length of the groove hole, the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightened high-strength bolt and the amplification multiple of the amplification lever should be determined according to the specific situation to control the characteristics of the damper energy dissipation and better achieve the damping effect.

[0051] After the model is established in ABAUQUS and preliminary numerical simulation is carried out, the hysteresis curve of the damper is obtained Figure 5 , in which H is the length of the groove hole and F is the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightened high-strength bolt. It can be observed from the figure that the damper has the characteristics of multi-stage energy dissipation in the theoretical design, and when the length of the groove hole is 25 mm, the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightened high-strength bolt mainly affects the primary energy dissipation of the damper and has little effect on the secondary energy dissipation. Further numerical simulation is carried out on the influence of different lengths of the groove hole on the damper under the condition that the pre-tightening force is 20 KN, and the result of Figure 6 is obtained. It can be observed that the length of the groove hole mainly affects the time when the damper enters the secondary energy dissipation stage, and the smaller the length of the groove hole, the faster the damper enters the secondary energy dissipation stage.

[0052] The damper combines the advantages of metal dampers and amplification viscoelastic dampers, designs two damper grading energy dissipation mechanisms, can play a good energy dissipation effect under different earthquake levels, and has high assembly degree and is easy to replace after the earthquake.

[0053] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, but does not represent other forms of the present application. Any person skilled in the art can make changes or modifications to the above disclosed technical contents to form equivalent embodiments with equivalent changes. However, any simple modification, equivalent change and modification made to the above embodiments without departing from the technical solution of the present application and according to the technical essence of the present application still falls within the protection scope of the present application.
