Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel damping bearing technology, and in particular to an E-type steel damping bearing. Background Technology
[0002] Unidirectional steel damping bearings are a type of bridge vibration reduction device designed specifically for bearing dynamic loads in a single direction (such as horizontal longitudinal or transverse). The core principle is that the built-in soft steel or low yield point steel damper undergoes plastic deformation under unidirectional force, converting seismic or wind vibration energy into heat energy dissipation, thereby limiting structural displacement and protecting the main components.
[0003] Structurally, a unidirectional steel damping bearing typically comprises several key components: a sliding plate, a piston body, and a deformation energy-dissipating plate. The sliding plate and piston body move relative to each other via a guiding mechanism, while the deformation energy-dissipating plate is connected to both. When the bridge is subjected to dynamic loads, the relative movement between the sliding plate and piston body causes the deformation energy-dissipating plate to deform, generating a reaction force that acts on the sliding plate and piston body, causing them to return to their initial positions and maintaining the bearing's normal operating condition.
[0004] However, the axial direction of the guide mechanism may have a certain angle with the top surface of the sliding plate or piston body. This will cause the distance between the sliding plate and the piston body to change when the sliding plate moves relative to the piston body along the guide mechanism during the daily operation of the bridge. Since the deformable energy-dissipating plate is connected to the sliding plate and the piston body, the change in the distance between the sliding plate and the piston body will further cause the deformable energy-dissipating plate to deform perpendicular to the plate surface. This deformation perpendicular to the plate surface will cause the deformable energy-dissipating plate to bear additional stress, thereby reducing the service life of the energy-dissipating plate. At the same time, after the deformable energy-dissipating plate deforms perpendicular to the plate surface, it is also not conducive to fully utilizing the damping and energy-dissipating function of the deformable energy-dissipating plate during horizontal vibration. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that the axial direction of the guide mechanism of the existing steel damping bearing may have a certain angle with the top surface of the sliding plate or piston body, which will cause the deformation energy dissipation plate to deform perpendicular to the plate surface during the daily operation of the bearing bridge. This invention provides an E-type steel damping bearing.
[0006] This utility model provides an E-shaped steel damping support, including a sliding plate, a piston body, and two E-shaped steels. The sliding plate is located above the piston body, and a guide rail groove is provided at the bottom of the sliding plate. A rail bar is fixed to the top of the piston body, and the sliding plate is mounted on the rail bar through the guide rail groove, allowing the sliding plate to move along the rail bar. The two E-shaped steels are arranged on both sides of the rail bar, and each E-shaped steel includes two side arms and one middle arm, with the middle arm located between the two side arms. The side arms are hinged to the sliding plate via pins. The system also includes:
[0007] A middle arm connector is sleeved on the piston body and can move vertically relative to the piston body; the middle arms of the two E-shaped steels are hinged to the middle arm connector by pins; the piston body can drive the middle arm connector to move together relative to the sliding plate, and the relative movement of the middle arm connector and the sliding plate can cause the E-shaped steel to deform.
[0008] This invention provides an E-shaped steel damping bearing. The sliding plate is connected to the bridge main body, and the piston body is connected to the bridge pier. Due to the guide groove and track bar, the sliding plate can move along the track bar, thereby achieving relative displacement between the sliding plate and the piston body. The side arms of the two E-shaped steel sections are connected to the sliding plate via pins; the middle arms of the two E-shaped steel sections are hinged to the middle arm connector via pins, and the middle arm connector is sleeved on the piston body. Therefore, the piston body can drive the middle arm connector to move relative to the sliding plate. During this process, due to the relative displacement between the sliding plate and the middle arm connector, the E-shaped steel, as a deformation energy-dissipating plate, will deform. The deformed E-shaped steel will generate a resisting force, which can exert a damping effect during the relative movement between the sliding plate and the piston body, effectively attenuating vibration energy. Furthermore, the middle arm connector can move vertically relative to the piston body. This design ensures that when the distance between the sliding plate and the piston body changes, the middle arm connector will not move up and down synchronously with the piston body. Since the middle arm connector does not undergo vertical displacement, the connected middle support arm will also not move vertically, thus effectively reducing the possibility of deformation of the energy-dissipating plate in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface.
[0009] Preferably, the middle arm connector includes a sleeve and two lugs; the two lugs are symmetrically arranged along the center of the sleeve, and both lugs are connected to the outer wall of the sleeve; the sleeve is sleeved on the piston body and can move vertically relative to the piston body; the lugs are hinged to the corresponding middle arm through the pin.
[0010] Preferably, the inner wall of the sleeve is provided with a protrusion, and the piston body is provided with a guide groove that matches the protrusion. The guide groove is arranged along the height direction of the piston body, and the protrusion can move axially along the guide groove. In this design, the main function of the guide groove is to guide the movement direction of the protrusion, ensuring that the protrusion can only move in a specific direction. In addition, the cooperation between the protrusion and the guide groove can also effectively limit the relative rotation between the sleeve and the piston body.
[0011] Preferably, each E-shaped steel includes two arc-shaped steels, which are spliced together in an overlapping manner to form an E-shape. The support arm at the overlapping position of the two arc-shaped steels is hinged to the middle arm connector via the pin, and the other two support arms of the two arc-shaped steels are hinged to the sliding plate via the pin. In this design, since each E-shaped steel is composed of two independent arc-shaped steels, and the two arc-shaped steels are also hinged together, this structural feature gives the arc-shaped steels a larger displacement space and a more flexible rotation range. When subjected to external forces, the arc-shaped steels can deform more fully, consuming more energy through their own deformation, thereby significantly improving the energy consumption efficiency of the entire structure. In addition, the support arm portion of the arc-shaped steels is designed with an arc transition, without any turning shape. This smooth arc structure can effectively disperse stress and avoid stress concentration at the turning point. Stress concentration often accelerates structural fatigue and damage, while the design of the arc-shaped steels in this design helps to reduce this risk, thereby increasing the service life of the arc-shaped steels.
[0012] Preferably, the top surface of the piston body is provided with a limiting groove, and a wear-resistant plate is provided in the limiting groove, the wear-resistant plate being sandwiched between the sliding plate and the piston body. In this design, the limiting groove is used to fix the wear-resistant plate and restrict its horizontal movement. The main function of the wear-resistant plate is to reduce friction and wear between the sliding plate and the piston body, thereby protecting the piston body and the sliding plate and extending their service life.
[0013] Preferably, the side arm is connected to the sliding plate via a side arm connector, the side arm connector is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and the side arm is hinged to the side arm connector via a pin.
[0014] Preferably, the system further includes a base basin, the top of which has a groove, and the piston body is disposed within the groove. The base basin supports the piston body, and the groove secures the piston body, preventing relative displacement between the base basin and the piston body.
[0015] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided in the groove, and the rubber pad is sandwiched between the piston body and the base. In this design, the rubber pad mainly serves to buffer and dampen shocks, reducing direct impact and wear between the piston body and the base, ensuring stable operation of the support and extending its service life.
[0016] Preferably, an annular groove is formed at one end of the rubber pad near the piston body, and a sealing copper ring is disposed within the annular groove, the sealing copper ring being sandwiched between the rubber pad, the piston body, and the base. In this design, the annular groove is used to fix the sealing copper ring, and the sealing copper ring plays a sealing role, preventing internal substances from leaking or external impurities from entering.
[0017] Preferably, an annular receiving groove is formed on the outer circumferential surface of the piston body, and a sealing ring is disposed in the receiving groove, the sealing ring being clamped between the piston body and the base. In this design, the receiving groove is used to fix the sealing ring, and the sealing ring can further play a sealing role, preventing internal substances from leaking or external impurities from entering.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0019] This invention provides an E-type steel damping support. The design of the middle arm connector allows for vertical movement relative to the piston body, ensuring that when the distance between the sliding plate and the piston body changes, the middle arm connector will not move up and down synchronously with the piston body. Because the middle arm connector does not undergo vertical displacement, the connected middle support arm also does not move vertically, effectively reducing the possibility of deformation of the energy-dissipating plate in the direction perpendicular to the plate surface.
