Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bridge technology, specifically relating to a bridge lead-core rubber bearing. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of bridge engineering, bearings, as the core force-transmitting components connecting the main beam of a bridge and the piers, bear the key functions of transmitting vertical loads, adapting to structural deformation (such as temperature deformation, concrete shrinkage and creep), and resisting horizontal loads (such as earthquake and wind loads). Their performance directly determines the safety, stability and durability of the bridge structure. In the prior art, such as Chinese Patent Publication No. CN120925413A, there is an upper support structure and a lower support structure that matches the upper support structure. The upper support structure and the lower support structure are connected by SMA ropes. The upper support structure includes an upper cover plate, with a first limiting block vertically arranged around the lower part of the upper cover plate, and a third limiting block vertically arranged at the end of the first limiting block away from the upper cover plate. The lower support structure includes a lower cover plate arranged parallel to the upper cover plate, with a lead-core rubber support arranged in the middle between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate. A second limiting block is vertically arranged around the upper part of the lower cover plate, and a fourth limiting block is vertically arranged at the end of the second limiting block away from the lower cover plate. By combining SMA ropes, a multi-stage limiting mechanism, and traditional lead-core rubber supports, the problems of existing supports in vertical tensile strength, horizontal multi-stage energy consumption, stiffness adjustment, and poor maintainability are solved.
[0003] Although the above-mentioned solutions have the advantages mentioned above, their disadvantages are that dust, sand, leaves and other debris floating in the air can easily adhere directly to the outer wall of the rubber sleeve during the use of the bearing. Furthermore, the deposits caused by wind and sun exposure can also cause physical scratches on the surface of the component. Long-term accumulation will damage the surface integrity of the rubber material, accelerate rubber aging and cracking, and shorten its service life. Therefore, a bridge lead core rubber bearing is proposed. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Example 1 Reference Figures 1-6 As shown, this is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a bridge lead-core rubber bearing, including an upper connecting plate 10 and a lower connecting plate 11.
[0021] In addition, the bridge lead-core rubber bearing also includes protective components.

[0024] Example 2 Reference Figure 2As shown, this is the second embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the previous embodiment, this embodiment provides a support component. The support component includes a rubber sleeve 30, which is disposed between the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 11. The inner side of the rubber sleeve 30 is provided with multiple sets of rubber pads 32 and multiple sets of connecting steel plates 33. The support component also includes two silicone sealing plates 31. The outer walls of the two silicone sealing plates 31 are fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber sleeve 30. Lead cores 34 are fixedly disposed on the inner side of the two silicone sealing plates 31. The inner sides of the multiple sets of rubber pads 32 and multiple sets of connecting steel plates 33 are slidably connected to the outer walls of the lead cores 34. The support component also includes two sets of connecting bolts 35. The two sets of connecting bolts 35 extend through the outer walls of the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 11 to the inner side of the two silicone sealing plates 31 on one side. The outer walls of the two sets of connecting bolts 35 are threadedly connected to the inner sides of the two silicone sealing plates 31.
[0025] Working principle: The bridge lead-core rubber bearing is fixed to the bridge superstructure via an upper connecting plate 10 and to the bridge foundation via a lower connecting plate 11, forming a stable load-bearing connection structure. The bearing component serves as the core load-bearing and vibration damping unit. Its rubber sleeve 30 encloses multiple sets of alternately stacked rubber pads 32, connecting steel plates 33, and lead core 34. It is connected to the silicone sealing plate 31 by two sets of connecting bolts 35, which pass through the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 11 respectively. This ensures the bearing component is firmly fixed to the upper connecting plate 10 and the lower connecting plate 11, ensuring the stable transmission of bridge load. The two silicone sealing plates 31 not only seal and protect the internal structure of the rubber sleeve 30, but also help fix the lead core 34, ensuring its stable energy dissipation. The protective components form all-round protection around the support components. In the protective assembly 21, the outer protective ring 213 and the inner protective ring 215 achieve a sealed sliding fit through the sealing ring 214 to block external impurities. At the same time, multiple dampers 211 and compression springs 212 hinged between the fixed ring 20 and the outer protective ring 213 buffer the horizontal impact force through damping energy dissipation and elastic reset when the bridge vibrates or displaces, thereby reducing the additional stress on the support components. The cleaning component 22 achieves self-cleaning synchronously with the support displacement. When the bridge vibration causes the upper connecting plate 10 and the inner protective ring 215 to move up and down, the inner protective ring 215 drives the guide rail 228 and the lifting ring 229 to slide along the outer wall of the outer protective ring 213 through the two connecting frames 222. When the lifting ring 229 moves up and down, it can drive the guide rod 224 to move synchronously. When the guide rod 224 moves up and down, the lifting ring 229 can rotate under the action of the guide groove opened on the surface of the guide ring 223. During the rotation of the lifting ring 229, the cleaning ring 221 can rotate synchronously with the lifting ring 229 through the cooperation of the fixed sleeve 225 and the control frame 226, thereby scraping off the impurities on the outer wall of the inner protective ring 215 and avoiding affecting the sealing performance of the sealing ring 214 and the smooth sliding of the protective component 21.

Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
