Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of friction pendulum damping bearings, and in particular to a seismic-resistant bridge bearing for municipal roads. Background Technology
[0002] Seismic bearings for municipal roads play a crucial role in modern bridge engineering. With the acceleration of urbanization and the increasing frequency of natural disasters such as earthquakes, the seismic performance of bridge structures is receiving growing attention. Seismic bearings can effectively absorb and dissipate seismic energy, protecting the main bridge structure from damage and ensuring smooth and safe traffic flow; therefore, their application prospects are broad.
[0003] In the existing technology, patent document CN222008633U, entitled "Seismic Bearing for Municipal Road Bridges," provides an innovative seismic bearing solution. This solution includes an upper bearing plate, a first sliding member, a second sliding member, and a lower bearing plate arranged sequentially from top to bottom. Through the connection of a first friction pair, a second friction pair, and a third friction pair, and an unlocking mechanism for the locking component under specific shear force, flexible vibration reduction effects under different vibration amplitudes are achieved.
[0004] However, this existing technology has significant drawbacks. Although spherical friction pairs can adapt to multi-directional sliding, lubrication of spherical contacts is far more difficult than that of planar contacts. In practical applications, this solution does not mention any lubrication measures, and during long-term use, spherical friction pairs are highly susceptible to dry friction due to insufficient lubrication. Once dry friction occurs, the wear of the friction pair will accelerate, and the particles generated by the wear may further affect the normal operation of the friction pair. If the friction pair wears excessively, it may lead to the risk of support failure, which in turn may result in the bridge structure not receiving effective seismic protection under extreme conditions such as earthquakes, undoubtedly posing a potential hazard to the safe operation of the bridge.
[0005] In summary, the problem of insufficient lubrication in existing spherical friction pairs urgently needs to be addressed. Utility Model Content

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0029] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides a seismic-resistant bridge bearing for municipal roads, comprising an upper bearing plate 1, a first sliding member 2, a second sliding member 3, and a lower bearing plate 4 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The upper bearing plate 1 and the first sliding member 2 form a first spherical friction pair, the first sliding member 2 and the second sliding member 3 form a second spherical friction pair, and the second sliding member 3 and the lower bearing plate 4 form a third spherical friction pair. To ensure sufficient lubrication of these spherical friction pairs during movement and reduce wear, a lubrication channel system is specially designed. The first, second, and third spherical friction pairs are correspondingly provided with a first lubrication channel, a second lubrication channel, and a third lubrication channel for injecting lubricant.
[0031] In the first spherical friction pair, the upper surface of the first sliding member 2 is designed as an outwardly convex spherical shape. The first lubrication channel consists of multiple parts, including a first collecting groove 5, a first stopping groove 6, and multiple first lubrication grooves 7 located on the upper surface of the first sliding member 2. The first collecting groove 5 is located in the middle of the upper surface of the first sliding member 2, while the first stopping groove 6 is located near the edge and has a ring-shaped structure. The multiple first lubrication grooves 7 are radially distributed, with one end connected to the first collecting groove 5 and the other end communicating with the first stopping groove 6. This design allows the lubricant to flow evenly from the first collecting groove 5 to the first stopping groove 6, thereby covering the entire surface of the first spherical friction pair.
[0032] In addition, the first lubrication channel also includes an injection channel 8 disposed within the upper support plate 1. One end of the injection channel 8 opens onto the side wall of the upper support plate 1, connecting to the external environment to facilitate lubricant injection. The other end of the injection channel 8 extends to the upper end of the first collecting groove 5, ensuring that the lubricant can flow smoothly into the first collecting groove 5. In actual operation, the operator can use a dedicated lubricant injection device, insert an injection hose into the injection channel 8, and then connect the output end of the lubricant injection device to the injection hose at the external opening of the injection channel 8, injecting an appropriate amount of lubricant through the injection hose. During injection, the flow rate of the lubricant should be moderate to avoid over-injection and lubricant overflow, while also ensuring that the lubricant fully fills the first collecting groove 5 and is evenly distributed across the entire surface of the first spherical friction pair through the first lubrication groove 7. After injection, disconnect the injection device from the injection hose and remove the injection hose from the injection channel 8. This method prevents lubricant residue from remaining in the injection channel 8.
[0033] For the second spherical friction pair, the lower surface of the first sliding member 2 is also designed as an outwardly convex spherical surface, while the upper surface of the second sliding member 3 is an inwardly concave spherical surface. Notably, the upper edge of the second sliding member 3 protrudes beyond the lower edge of the first sliding member 2. The second lubrication channel mainly consists of multiple second lubrication grooves 9, which are also radially distributed. One end of each groove is located at the center of the upper surface of the second sliding member 3 and they are interconnected. This design allows the lubricant to spread evenly from the center outwards along the second lubrication grooves 9, ensuring good lubrication for all parts of the second spherical friction pair. Lubricant is added one by one from the other end of each second lubrication groove 9 to lubricate the second spherical friction pair.
[0034] In the third spherical friction pair, the lower surface of the second sliding member 3 is an outwardly convex spherical surface. The third lubrication channel includes a second stop groove 10 and multiple third lubrication grooves 11. The second stop groove 10 is annular and located in the middle of the upper surface of the second sliding member 3. The multiple third lubrication grooves 11 are also radially distributed, with one end connected to the second stop groove 10. When adding lubricant, it is added one by one from the other end of the third lubrication groove 11 to achieve lubrication of the second spherical friction pair. This structural design helps to achieve uniform distribution of lubricant on the surface of the third spherical friction pair, thereby reducing wear of the friction pair during operation.
[0035] Combined with reference Figure 3To enable flexible movement of the support under extreme conditions such as earthquakes, the third spherical friction pair is locked by a locking assembly. The locking assembly is designed as follows: a blind hole is located at the center of the lower surface of the second sliding member 3, and a threaded sleeve 12 is embedded within the blind hole. The upper end of the locking member 13 is connected to the threaded sleeve 12 via threads. A through hole 14 is located in the center of the lower support plate 4, inside the second stop groove 10. The lower end of the locking member 13 passes through the through hole 14. This locking assembly design maintains the stability of the third spherical friction pair under normal conditions, and automatically releases when subjected to a preset shear force, allowing the support to move freely under extreme conditions such as earthquakes, thus providing seismic resistance.
[0036] The locking component 13 is a rotating structure with an annular pre-fracture opening 15 located in its central part. The annular pre-fracture opening 15 is located at the connection between the blind hole and the through hole 14. When the shear force borne by the locking component 13 reaches a preset value, the structure at the annular pre-fracture opening 15 will fracture first, thereby allowing the locking component 13 to smoothly disengage from the blind hole and the through hole 14, realizing the unlocking function of the locking assembly.
[0037] Furthermore, multiple pre-fracture members 16 are provided at equal angles on the lower sidewall of the locking member 13. These pre-fracture members 16 abut against the inner wall of the through hole 14. The through hole 14 is designed as an inverted conical hole. This structural design helps the pre-fracture members 16 to separate smoothly from the inner wall of the through hole 14 when the locking member 13 is unlocked, thereby ensuring that the locking member 13 can disengage from the through hole 14 without obstruction, further improving the reliability of the unlocking of the locking assembly.
[0038] To improve the overall stability and reliability of the bearing, both the first sliding member 2 and the second sliding member 3 are designed as rotating structures. Meanwhile, connection holes 17 are provided on both the upper bearing plate 1 and the lower bearing plate 4. These connection holes 17 are used to securely connect the bearing to the bridge structure and other related components, ensuring the stability and reliability of the bearing during use.
[0039] As described above, the municipal road seismic bridge bearing of this invention not only effectively reduces wear on the friction pair during movement and improves the service life of the bearing, but also allows for flexible movement under extreme conditions such as earthquakes, thus providing excellent seismic resistance. Furthermore, the ease of lubricant application makes bearing maintenance simpler and more efficient.
