Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of structural vibration control technology, specifically to a shape memory alloy metal damper. Background Technology

[0002] As modern buildings become taller, larger in span, and more complex, traditional seismic design concepts face challenges. Traditional seismic systems rely on the structural strength itself to resist seismic forces, which can easily lead to damage or even collapse of the main structure. Since the 20th century, passive control technology based on energy dissipation has become a research hotspot. By setting energy dissipation devices in key parts of the structure, seismic energy can be converted into thermal or mechanical energy, achieving the goal of vibration reduction by using softness to overcome rigidity. Among them, metal dampers have become the mainstream solution for engineering applications due to their advantages such as simple construction, high durability, and no need for external energy.

[0003] A composite shape memory alloy damper, as described in reference announcement number CN211548159U, includes an upper plate, side clamps, a middle fixed plate, friction material, a base, and shape memory alloy cables. This composite shape memory alloy damper utilizes several shape memory alloy cables mounted on the damper. These cables pass laterally through the middle fixed plate and are then fixed to the side clamps on both sides. If sliding occurs between the middle fixed plate and the side clamps, the friction material applies a frictional force, while the shape memory alloy cables apply a reverse elastic force, resulting in a greater output force. Simultaneously, the shape memory alloy cables pull both plates back to their original positions, contributing to the stability or restoration of the building. However, while this metal damper can be effectively applied, it is generally not convenient for limiting the movement of vertically moving parts, making the damper prone to displacement during movement and thus affecting its stability. Further improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shape memory alloy metal damper to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that although metal dampers can be used well, they are usually not convenient for limiting the movement of the upper and lower moving parts, which makes the metal damper prone to displacement during movement and thus affects the stability of the metal damper.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a shape memory alloy metal damper, comprising a base, a lower damping cylinder at the center of the top of the base, a middle damping cylinder slidably connected to the upper end of the lower damping cylinder, an upper damping cylinder slidably mounted at the end of the middle damping cylinder away from the lower damping cylinder, trapezoidal seats at equal intervals fixed on the outer wall of the upper end of the upper damping cylinder, a circular limiting block provided above each trapezoidal seat, the bottom end of the circular limiting block contacting the top end of the trapezoidal seat, a guide rod fixedly mounted at the center of the bottom end of the circular limiting block, the bottom end of the guide rod extending into the interior of the base, a limiting clamp fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the lower end of the guide rod, and positioning holes provided at the corners inside the base.

[0006] Preferably, the upper damping cylinder has an upper mounting seat inside, and the middle damping cylinder has an annular mounting seat inside, so that the positioning plate can be placed in place.

[0007] Preferably, the lower damping cylinder has a lower support seat inside, and a positioning plate is fixed at the center of the annular support seat. The outer wall of the positioning plate is connected to the inner wall of the annular support seat. The positioning plate is used to position the movable cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, both ends of the positioning plate are provided with movable cylinders, and a movable rod is movably installed inside the movable cylinder. One end of the movable rod extends to the outside of the movable cylinder and is provided with a connecting frame. The end of the connecting frame away from the movable rod is connected to the inner wall of the upper part seat and the lower part seat respectively. The movable cylinder is provided so that one end of the movable rod can be movably positioned.

[0009] Preferably, the outer wall of the movable cylinder is provided with an external thread, and a threaded disc is threadedly installed on the outer wall of the movable cylinder at the position of the external thread, so that the threaded disc can be threadedly installed.

[0010] Preferably, a damping spring is installed on the outer side of the movable cylinder and the movable rod. The two ends of the damping spring contact the inner wall of the connecting frame and the threaded disc, respectively. The damping spring is used to form the damping component of the metal damper.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the shape memory alloy metal damper not only ensures the stability of the metal damper during use, but also achieves the purpose of easy damping and shock absorption, and achieves the purpose of adjusting the damping force of the metal damper.

[0012] (1) The guide rod is movably connected to the trapezoidal seat and the base at both ends, and a circular limit block and a limit clamp are fixedly installed at the upper end of the guide rod. When the upper damping cylinder and the lower damping cylinder move slightly at both ends of the middle damping cylinder, the trapezoidal seat and the base slide up and down on the outer wall of the guide rod. The circular limit block and the limit clamp prevent the trapezoidal seat and the base from separating from the outer wall of the guide rod, thereby effectively limiting the movement range of the upper damping cylinder and the lower damping cylinder, thus ensuring the stability of the metal damper during use.

[0013] (2) By movably setting the upper and lower damping cylinders at both ends of the middle damping cylinder, and setting two sets of damping components composed of damping springs on the inner side of the annular mounting base, the upper mounting base and the lower mounting base, the metal damper is formed as a whole, thereby achieving the purpose of easy damping and shock absorption.

[0014] (3) By rotating the threaded disc, the threaded disc slides on the outer wall of the movable cylinder at the external thread position to adjust the distance between the connecting frame and the threaded disc, thereby effectively adjusting the elastic pressure applied by the damping spring to the connecting frame, thus achieving the purpose of adjusting the damping force of the metal damper.

[0025] Both ends of the positioning plate 13 are provided with movable cylinders 14. Movable rods 15 are movably installed inside the movable cylinders 14. One end of the movable rods 15 extends to the outside of the movable cylinders 14 and is provided with a connecting frame 16.

[0026] In use, the movable cylinder 14 is provided to allow one end of the movable rod 15 to be moved and positioned.

[0027] The outer wall of the movable cylinder 14 is provided with an external thread 17, and a threaded disc 18 is threadedly installed on the outer wall of the movable cylinder 14 at the position of the external thread 17.

[0028] In use, the external thread 17 is provided to allow the threaded disc 18 to be threaded.

[0029] A damping spring 19 is installed on the outside of the movable cylinder 14 and the movable rod 15. The two ends of the damping spring 19 contact the inner wall of the connecting frame 16 and the threaded disc 18, respectively.

[0030] In use, the damping components of the metal damper are assembled by setting the damping spring 19;
