[0002] In recent years, with the promotion of seismic isolation technology, seismic isolation bearings have been widely used in various low- and medium-rise buildings. Traditional seismic isolation bearings are mostly made of natural rubber, but these bearings have low horizontal stiffness and will respond to slight vibrations such as wind vibrations. This is not conducive to improving the comfort and safety of the building structure, and will also accelerate the fatigue damage process of natural rubber bearings. Furthermore, they are difficult to effectively resist the instantaneous impact load during earthquakes and are difficult to dissipate seismic energy.

[0003] To address this issue, seismic isolation bearings have emerged on the market that incorporate lead cores into natural rubber bearings to enhance horizontal stiffness and energy dissipation capacity. However, lead is a toxic heavy metal that poses significant risks to human health and the environment, and therefore does not meet environmental protection requirements. Utility Model Content

[0032] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] Example 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the seismic isolation bearing provided by this utility model includes: a bearing body 10, an upper connecting plate 20, a lower connecting plate 30, and a steel U-shaped component 40. The bearing body 10 is cylindrical and vertically arranged. The upper connecting plate 20 is a rectangular plate fixed to the upper surface of the bearing body 10, with its four sides extending beyond the upper surface of the bearing body 10. The lower connecting plate 30 is a rectangular plate larger than the upper connecting plate 20, and is correspondingly arranged to the upper connecting plate 20. This corresponding arrangement refers to the lower... The centers of the connecting plate 30 and the upper connecting plate 20 are located on the same straight line perpendicular to the lower connecting plate 30 and the upper connecting plate 20, and the four sides of the lower connecting plate 30 are parallel to the four sides of the upper connecting plate 20. The lower connecting plate 30 is fixed to the lower end face of the support body 10, and the four sides of the lower connecting plate 30 extend beyond the lower end face of the support body 10. The steel U-shaped parts 40 are bent from steel plates. There are eight steel U-shaped parts 40, and these eight steel U-shaped parts 40 are evenly distributed around the perimeter of the support body 10, that is, the upper connecting plate... Two steel U-shaped members 40 are correspondingly provided on each side of the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30. These two steel U-shaped members 40 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. Specifically, the steel U-shaped member 40 has an open end 41 at the head and a closed end 42 at the tail. The open end 41 faces the support body 10. The upper and lower sides of the open end 41 extend between the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30. The upper side of the open end 41 is fixedly connected to the upper connecting plate 20, and the lower side of the open end 41 is unidirectionally slidably connected to the lower connecting plate 30, so that the seismic isolation support... The bearing can enhance horizontal stiffness through the elastic force of the steel U-shaped component 40, and also improve energy dissipation through the deformation of the steel U-shaped component 40. It has large horizontal displacement and strong energy dissipation capacity. The bearing body 10 does not need to add lead core or only needs to add a small amount of lead core, which reduces costs and meets environmental protection requirements. Due to the presence of the steel U-shaped component 40, the seismic isolation bearing has better fatigue performance, can adapt to large displacement, and can effectively offset the impact load of earthquakes. It can also effectively offset the disturbance of wind load and slight vibration to the seismic isolation bearing, and its performance is stable.

[0034] In this embodiment, a limiting block 43 is also connected to the steel U-shaped part 40. A limiting groove 31 perpendicular to the orientation of the opening end 41 is provided on the lower connecting plate 30. The limiting block 43 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the opening end 41 by bolt connection or welding. The limiting block 43 is slidably embedded in the limiting groove 31. Furthermore, the cross-section of the limiting block 43 is an inverted T-shape with a smaller top and a larger bottom. The cross-sectional shape of the limiting groove 31 matches the cross-sectional shape of the limiting block 43.

[0035] Because the limiting block 43 has a T-shaped structure, it will not fall out of the limiting groove 31 during the movement of the steel U-shaped component 40. When small vibrations or wind-induced vibrations occur, the steel U-shaped component 40 provides a certain horizontal stiffness to the seismic isolation bearing, preventing it from undergoing large deformations under these conditions and ensuring the comfort of the superstructure. At this time, the steel U-shaped component 40 is in the elastic stage. When an earthquake occurs, the seismic isolation bearing undergoes shear deformation, that is, the upper connecting plate moves relative to the lower connecting plate. When displacement occurs in the X direction, the steel U-shaped member 40 in the X direction undergoes plastic deformation to dissipate seismic energy. At this time, the limiting block 43 of the steel U-shaped member 40 in the Y direction slides within the limiting groove 31 and does not function. As the displacement continues to increase, the steel U-shaped member 40 in the X direction is straightened and provides a limit for the seismic isolation bearing, preventing its failure. Correspondingly, when displacement occurs in the Y direction, the steel U-shaped member 40 in the Y direction undergoes plastic deformation to dissipate seismic energy. At this time, the limiting block 43 of the steel U-shaped member 40 in the X direction slides within the limiting groove 31 and does not function. The sliding within 31 has no effect. When the displacement continues to increase, the steel U-shaped part 40 in the Y direction is straightened to provide a limit for the seismic isolation bearing and prevent it from being damaged. When deformation occurs in other directions, all steel U-shaped parts 40 will undergo corresponding deformation. However, since all the limiting grooves 31 are designed with cross coordinates, the steel U-shaped parts 40 will only deform within the opening plane, ensuring that the steel U-shaped parts 40 are not damaged to the greatest extent. Furthermore, in all deformations, the steel U-shaped parts 40 will not affect the function of the bearing body 10.

[0036] The working principle of this seismic isolation bearing is clear and straightforward, and its structure is simple. By setting the limiting groove 31, it can effectively prevent the steel U-shaped part 40 from twisting during displacement, which greatly protects the safety of the steel U-shaped part 40 and the building structure.

[0037] Example 2, as Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, Embodiment 2 is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the seismic isolation bearing in Embodiment 2 is an elastic sliding plate bearing, the bearing body 10 is a rubber seismic isolation body, the upper connecting plate 20 and the bearing body 10 are fixedly connected, the size of the lower connecting plate 30 is much larger than the size of the lower end face of the bearing body 10, and the bearing body 10 can slide freely on the lower connecting plate 30. At the same time, any two adjacent steel U-shaped pieces 40 are connected to the same part of the upper connecting plate 20, and the parts of these two steel U-shaped pieces 40 connected to the upper connecting plate 20 are integrated.

[0038] Example 3, as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, Embodiment 3 is basically the same as Embodiment 1, except that the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30 in Embodiment 3 are the same size, and there are four steel U-shaped parts 40. Each side of the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30 is provided with a corresponding steel U-shaped part 40. In two adjacent steel U-shaped parts 40, the open end 41 of one of them is close to the closed section 42 of the other, so that all steel U-shaped parts 40 are in a state of being connected end to end. At the same time, the steel U-shaped parts 40 are located on the outside of the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30. The upper and lower sides of the open end 41 are connected with extension plates 44 extending in the horizontal direction. The extension plates 44 extend between the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30. The extension plate 44 located on the upper side of the open end 41 is fixedly connected to the upper connecting plate 20 by bolts, and the extension plate 44 located on the lower side of the open end 41 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting plate 30 by bolts.

[0039] During minor vibrations or wind-induced shaking, the steel U-shaped member 40 provides a certain horizontal stiffness to the seismic isolation bearing, preventing it from undergoing large deformations under these conditions and ensuring the comfort of the superstructure. At this time, the steel U-shaped member 40 is in the elastic stage. When an earthquake occurs, the seismic isolation bearing undergoes shear deformation, i.e., the upper connecting plate moves relative to the lower connecting plate, thereby causing the steel U-shaped member 40 to undergo plastic deformation to dissipate seismic energy. Specifically, when deformation occurs in the X direction, the parallel steel U-shaped member 40 undergoes horizontal deformation and consumes energy, while the steel U-shaped member 40 in the Y direction undergoes torsional deformation and consumes energy. The same applies when deformation occurs in the Y direction. When deformation occurs in other directions, all steel U-shaped members 40 will undergo corresponding deformation. In all deformations, the steel U-shaped members 40 will not affect the function of the support body 10. Since the steel U-shaped members 40 in the four directions are connected end to end, the deformation of any one steel U-shaped member 40 will not affect the function of the steel U-shaped members 40 in other directions.

[0040] Example 4, as Figures 9 to 12As shown, Embodiment 4 is basically the same as Embodiment 3, except that in Embodiment 4, the steel U-shaped part 40 is made of round steel and each steel U-shaped part 40 spans the two sides of the upper connecting plate 20 and the lower connecting plate 30. The steel U-shaped part 40 also includes a limiter 45 connected to the upper and lower sides of the opening end 41. The limiter 45 has a snap-fit ​​groove 46. The limiter 45 located on the upper side of the opening end 41 is locked to the upper connecting plate 20 by bolts, and the corner of the upper connecting plate 20 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 46 of the limiter 45 locked to it. The limiter 45 located on the lower side of the opening end 41 is locked to the lower connecting plate 30 by bolts, and the corner of the lower connecting plate 30 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 46 of the limiter 45 locked to it.

[0041] Because the steel U-shaped parts 40 are diagonally staggered, they can prevent each other from interfering during displacement, and the horizontal forces in all directions are consistent. The round steel of the bent steel U-shaped parts 40 is threadedly connected to the limiter 45, so the stiffness provided by the steel U-shaped parts 40 of the seismic isolation bearing is the same in any direction.

[0042] It should be noted that in embodiments one to three, the force value of the steel U-shaped part 40 can be adjusted by adjusting the plate thickness and material.

[0043] The seismic isolation bearing provided by this utility model has a flexible and versatile structure with various variations to meet diverse market demands. It can be made available from a variety of materials to meet market needs, is easy to install, and is simple to maintain and replace.

[0044] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
