Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of building structure vibration reduction, and in particular to a damping energy dissipation unit. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional building structures rely primarily on their own strength and stiffness to resist external forces. However, under strong earthquakes or strong winds, the structure may experience significant deformation and internal forces, leading to structural damage or even collapse. Energy-dissipating components, as effective energy-absorbing devices, can convert the kinetic energy of the structure into heat energy through the damping effect of viscous fluids, thereby dissipating energy and reducing the structure's response.

[0003] Currently, energy-dissipating components are usually arranged in a straight line, that is, directly connected to the building structure. However, this arrangement cannot make full use of the space and mechanical properties of the building structure in some complex structures, and may even generate additional forces on the building structure. In addition, the damping force requirement of a single shock absorber increases; and due to the influence of the building structure, the replacement of the damper after an earthquake is somewhat difficult. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a damping energy dissipation unit to solve the problems that the existing arrangement of energy dissipation components will generate additional forces on the building structure and that it is difficult to replace the damper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a damping energy dissipation unit disposed between building beams and building columns in a building structure, wherein the damping energy dissipation unit comprises:

[0006] The load-bearing columns are spaced apart and each load-bearing column is connected to the building beam.

[0007] The energy-consuming components are arranged at an angle to each other, and the two ends of each energy-consuming component are respectively hinged to the two supporting columns.

[0008] Preferably, the two building beams extend along a first direction and are spaced apart along a second direction; the two building columns extend along the second direction and are spaced apart along the first direction, and the damping energy dissipation unit is disposed within the space enclosed by the two building beams and the two building columns.

[0009] Preferably, the load-bearing column includes a first load-bearing column and a second load-bearing column, the first load-bearing column and the second load-bearing column are parallel to the building column and are spaced apart along the first direction; the two ends of the extension direction of the first load-bearing column and the second load-bearing column are respectively connected to the two building beams.

[0010] Preferably, the first ends of both energy-consuming components are hinged to the middle part of the first supporting column, and the second ends of the two energy-consuming components are respectively hinged to the two ends of the second supporting column.

[0011] Preferably, along the second direction, a first connecting plate is welded to the middle part of the first bearing column, and the first ends of the two energy-consuming components are respectively hinged to the first connecting plate; along the second direction, a second connecting plate is welded to both ends of the second bearing column, and the second ends of the two energy-consuming components are respectively hinged to the corresponding second connecting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the supporting column includes a sub-column and short columns connected to both ends of the sub-column in the extending direction.

[0013] Preferably, both the sub-column and the short column are formed as I-beam structures, and the two short columns are respectively attached to the two ends of the extension direction of the sub-column, so that the supporting column forms two U-shaped recesses; the two short columns are respectively connected to two building beams.

[0014] Preferably, the two ends of the sub-column extending in the direction of extension are respectively provided with a plurality of first bolt holes; the short column is provided with a first pin hole.

[0015] Preferably, each of the short columns is connected to the sub-column via two splicing channel steels.

[0016] Preferably, each of the splicing channel steels is respectively disposed in the corresponding recess; the splicing channel steels are formed with a second bolt hole corresponding to the first bolt hole, and the splicing channel steels are also formed with a second pin hole corresponding to the first pin hole.

[0017] According to this utility model, the damping energy dissipation unit is installed between the building beams and columns of a building structure. Specifically, the energy dissipation unit includes two spaced-apart load-bearing columns, which are respectively connected to the building beams of the building structure. In addition, the energy dissipation unit also includes two inclined energy dissipation components, which are disposed between the two load-bearing columns and hinged to the corresponding load-bearing columns. In this way, the two energy dissipation components can bear the horizontal force brought about by the earthquake, and the two load-bearing columns can transfer the vertical component of the energy dissipation components to the foundation of the building structure, thereby reducing the vertical force generated by the energy dissipation components on the building beams, avoiding large shear forces at the ends of the building beams, and reducing the design requirements of the building beams. In addition, in this energy dissipation unit, the energy dissipation components are connected to the building structure through the load-bearing columns, making replacement more convenient.

[0034] This utility model provides a damping energy dissipation unit, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the energy-dissipating unit 2 in this embodiment includes two supporting columns and two energy-dissipating components 23 disposed between the two supporting columns. The energy-dissipating components 23 are connected to the building structure through the supporting columns to achieve energy dissipation. The specific structure and connection relationships of the above-mentioned parts of the damping energy-dissipating unit according to this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the energy-consuming unit 2 is disposed between the building beams 11 and the building columns 12 of the building structure. Specifically, the two building beams 11 extend along a first direction and are spaced apart along a second direction; the two building columns 12 extend along the second direction and are spaced apart along the first direction, and the energy-consuming unit 2 is disposed within the space enclosed by the two building beams 11 and the two building columns 12.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, this energy-dissipating unit 2 is provided with two supporting columns, namely a first supporting column 21 and a second supporting column 22. The first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22 are parallel to the building column 12 and are spaced apart along a first direction. The two ends of the extension direction (i.e., the second direction) of the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22 are respectively connected to two building beams 11. Furthermore, this energy-dissipating unit 2 is also provided with two energy-dissipating components 23, which are inclined to form an included angle (i.e., their axes form an included angle), and the two ends of each energy-dissipating component 23 are respectively hinged to the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22. In this way, the energy-dissipating component 23 can be stably connected to the building structure through the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22.

[0037] Specifically, the first ends of both energy-dissipating components 23 are hinged to the middle portion of the first supporting column 21, and the second ends of both energy-dissipating components 23 are respectively hinged to both ends of the second supporting column 22. More specifically, along the second direction, a first connecting plate 24 is welded to the middle portion of the first supporting column 21, and the first ends of the two energy-dissipating components 23 are respectively hinged to the first connecting plate 24; along the second direction, second connecting plates 25 are respectively welded to both ends of the second supporting column 22, and the second ends of the two energy-dissipating components 23 are respectively hinged to the corresponding second connecting plates 25. Furthermore, the energy-dissipating component 23 can be configured as, for example, a viscous damper.

[0038] It should be noted that there are no specific restrictions on the specific structure and specifications of the first connecting plate 24 and the second connecting plate 25. They should be determined comprehensively based on the actual situation, such as the specifications of the first bearing column 21 and the second bearing column 22, as long as they can meet the connection requirements of the energy-dissipating component 23 and achieve its energy-dissipating effect. For example, in this embodiment, since the first bearing column 21 and the second bearing column 22 form an "I"-shaped structure, the first connecting plate 24 can be welded to the side of the first bearing column 21; and in order to improve the connection stability of the energy-dissipating component 23, a reinforcing rib corresponding to the first connecting plate 24 is also provided at the opening of the first bearing column 21; the second connecting plate 25 can be welded to the side of the second bearing column 22, and the second connecting plate 25 is simultaneously welded to the second bearing column 22 and the building beam 11 to improve the stability of the connection of the energy-dissipating component 23.

[0039] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22 have similar structures, both including a sub-column 31 and short columns 32 connected to both ends of the sub-column 31 in its extension direction (i.e., the second direction). Both the sub-column 31 and the short columns 32 are formed as I-beam structures, with the two short columns 32 respectively fitted to the two ends of the sub-column 31 in its extension direction, so that both the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22 have two U-shaped recesses. Furthermore, the connection between the first supporting column 21 and the second supporting column 22 and the building beams 11 essentially means that the short columns 32 are correspondingly connected to the two building beams 11; a first connecting plate 24 is disposed in the middle of the sub-column 31 of the first supporting column 21, and a second connecting plate 25 is connected to the two short columns 32 of the second supporting column 22.

[0040] Furthermore, each short column 32 is stably connected to the sub-column 31 via two splicing channel steels 33, such as... Figures 2 to 3 As shown, each splicing channel steel 33 is respectively disposed in the corresponding recess (i.e., in the first bearing column 21 or the second bearing column 22, including one sub-column 31, two short columns 32 and four splicing channel steels 33). Multiple first bolt holes are formed at both ends of the extending direction of the sub-column 31, and a first pin hole is formed in the short column 32. Correspondingly, the splicing channel steel 33 forms a second bolt hole corresponding to the first bolt hole, and also forms a second pin hole corresponding to the first pin hole. Thus, this energy-consuming unit 2 is actually an assembly structure of multiple components, thereby enabling rapid replacement of different components (e.g., energy-consuming component 23 or sub-column 31). Furthermore, to improve assembly efficiency, for example, the short columns 32 and sub-column 31 can be pre-assembled in the factory.

[0041] It should be noted that there are no specific restrictions on the specifications of the sub-columns 31 and short columns 32, the number and arrangement of the first bolt holes, the specifications and positions of the first pin holes, and the specifications of the splicing channel steel 33 in the first load-bearing column 21 and the second load-bearing column 22, as long as the aforementioned technical effects can be achieved. Furthermore, the connection method between the short column 32 and the structural beam, the hinge method of the energy-dissipating component 23, the pin connection, the bolt connection, and the energy-dissipating component 23 itself are all existing technologies and will not be elaborated further.

[0042] Furthermore, after the energy-consuming unit 2 is arranged in the building structure as described above, lightweight baffles 26, such as foam, can be installed around it to form the energy-consuming unit 2 into a whole (i.e., the energy-consuming unit 2 can actually be used as a building component), thereby ensuring the overall aesthetics and consistency of the building structure. However, the installation of the baffles 26 should not affect the technical effect of the energy-consuming unit 2. In addition, when the energy-consuming unit 2 is arranged in the building structure, it needs to avoid being separated from structures such as doors and windows.

[0043] According to this utility model, the damping energy dissipation unit is installed between the building beam 11 and the building column 12 of the building structure. Specifically, the energy dissipation unit 2 includes two spaced-apart load-bearing columns, which are respectively connected to the building beam 11 of the building structure. In addition, the energy dissipation unit 2 also includes two inclined energy dissipation components 23, which are disposed between the two load-bearing columns and hinged to the corresponding load-bearing columns. In this way, the two energy dissipation components 23 can bear the horizontal force brought by the earthquake, and the two load-bearing columns can transfer the vertical component of the energy dissipation components 23 (along the floor) to the foundation of the building structure, thereby reducing the vertical force generated by the energy dissipation components 23 on the building beam 11, avoiding large shear forces at the ends of the building beam 11, and reducing the design requirements of the building beam 11. At the same time, the horizontal component of the force is canceled out by the two energy dissipation components 23, which can avoid generating excessive unbalanced horizontal forces on the sub-columns 31. In addition, in this energy dissipation unit 2, the energy dissipation components 23 are connected to the building structure through the load-bearing columns, making replacement relatively convenient.

[0044] As described above, the viscous damping energy dissipation unit has a simple structure, clear force distribution, is easy and convenient to install, requires little installation space, and has no low-stress areas or components, thus meeting the functional and aesthetic requirements of building structures.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are merely specific implementations of this application, used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. The protection scope of this application is not limited thereto. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that any person skilled in the art can still modify or easily conceive of changes to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features, within the technical scope disclosed in this application. Such modifications, changes, or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application, and should all be covered within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this application should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
