Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of shock absorption for pipes, and more particularly to an assembly bracket capable of absorbing shock in multiple directions. [Background technology]
[0002] During an earthquake, the strong vibrations generated by pipes in operation can be extremely destructive, so the seismic performance of the pipe system in a building is an important indicator for maintaining the building's functionality. If the suspended pipes fall during an earthquake, it could cause enormous casualties and economic losses. To avoid this situation, pipes in buildings are now installed using shock-absorbing brackets, which are usually made by cutting, bending, and welding metal materials such as angle iron, flat iron, and square pipes.
[0003] Existing shock-absorbing brackets generally have a structure in which a support rod is directly welded to an expansion bolt fixed to the wall, resulting in poor shock absorption during use. Furthermore, because the pipe of the shock-absorbing bracket is directly fixed with a U-bolt, when the bracket shakes, the pipe also shakes, and if the amplitude of the shaking is large, the pipe may break, affecting use and posing a safety hazard.

[Figure 3]3 is a structural schematic diagram of a first locking seat in an embodiment of the present invention. FIG. [Figure 4] 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an elastic device according to an embodiment of the present invention; DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0015] In order to facilitate understanding of the technical means, original features, objects and effects of the present invention, the present invention will be further described below with specific figures.
[0016] Example The assembly bracket is capable of absorbing impact in multiple directions, and as shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, includes several bracket units, which are joined to each other via fixing seats 1. Here, the bracket unit includes a horizontal support 2, which can be made of channel steel, and a first locking seat 3 is installed at one end of the horizontal support 2. As shown in Figures 1 to 3, the first locking seat 3 adopts a box structure, and the closed end of the first locking seat 3 is fixed to the main body structure. An end plate is fixed to one end of the horizontal support 2. The end plate of the horizontal support 2 and the open end of the first locking seat 3 are connected by a locking slot and a locking device, and the end plate and the inner wall of the first locking seat 3 are connected via a first hydraulic device 4 and two first elastic members 5, which are springs and are respectively arranged on both sides of the first hydraulic device.
[0017] Furthermore, a second locking seat 7 is installed at the other end of the horizontal support 2, and the second locking seat 7 has a tubular structure. The second locking seat 7 is inserted into and connected to the vertical support 8 and fastened with a bolt. An elastic device 9 is installed between the vertical support 8 and the inner wall of the second locking seat 7. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4 , the elastic device 9 includes two symmetrically arranged V-shaped plates 91, each arranged on either side of the vertical support 8. The opposing ends of the two V-shaped plates 91 are connected via a C-shaped plate 92. Fixed plates 93 are installed on the outer ends of the two C-shaped plates 92. The two fixed plates 93 are both fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second locking seat 7 via fixed rods 94, and the opposing ends of the two fixed plates 93 are both connected via connecting members 95. Elastic pads 96 are installed on the opposing sides of the two V-shaped plates 91, and several second elastic members are installed between the elastic pads 96 and the adjacent V-shaped plates 91. The vertical support 8 is locked between the two elastic pads 96.
[0018] The installation of the first locking seat 3, first hydraulic device 4, and two first elastic members 5 allows for horizontal and lateral shock absorption of the bracket unit. The second locking seat 7 and elastic device 9 allow for horizontal and vertical shock absorption of the bracket unit. In addition, in conventional socket models, the contact surface between the inner rod and the fixed outer jacket is curved, which makes it easy for gaps to form, and even if a rubber pad is added, the contact surface is still curved, so it is not useful for shock absorption. Therefore, in this application, a V-shaped plate 91, an elastic pad 96 and a second elastic member are installed in the elastic device 9 so that the contact surface between the vertical support 8 and the second locking seat 7 is straight. Furthermore, since both sides of the second elastic member are straight and V-shaped, respectively, the compressive force applied to the vertical support 8 by the second elastic members on both sides is greater than the compressive force applied to the vertical support 8 by the second elastic member in the middle. When the vertical support 8 is offset horizontally or vertically due to the action of an external force, it is limited by the above structure and can quickly bounce back to its original state. This reduces the vertical offset size of the vertical support 8 and prevents the pipe from shaking too much and being damaged.
[0019] Furthermore, a pipe locking seat 10 is fixed to one side of the vertical support 8 and used to install the pipe. The pipe locking seat 10 includes a pipe support plate 101 made of angle iron and having a V-shaped positioning groove 102, a wooden support mounted on the upper end of the V-shaped positioning groove 102 and a rubber spacer mounted on the upper end of the wooden support, and a U-shaped positioning groove 103 above the V-shaped positioning groove 102, the opposing ends of which are connected by bolts. Two vertical reinforcing support plates 104 are installed at the lower ends of the V-shaped positioning groove 102 of the pipe support plate 101.
[0020] The U-shaped positioning groove 103 and the V-shaped positioning groove 102 can be fitted together to secure pipes of various sizes. The installation of a wooden support makes the installation of the pipe more stable, and the installation of a rubber spacer in the V-shaped positioning groove 102 can increase stability. In addition, the addition of a reinforcing support plate 104 can improve the force-bearing capacity of the V-shaped positioning groove 102.
[0021] Furthermore, the fixed base 1 has a box structure, and as shown in Figure 2, an A-shaped plate 11 is installed inside the fixed base 1. The A-shaped plate 11 is made up of an upper inclined plate 111, a lower inclined plate 112, and a central plate 113. One end of the upper inclined plate 111 is connected to one end of the lower inclined plate 112, and the included angle between the upper inclined plate 111 and the lower inclined plate 112 is 45 degrees. One end of the central plate 113 is connected to the inner surface of the upper inclined plate 111, and the other end is connected to the inner surface of the lower inclined plate 112. The vertical cross section of the A-shaped plate 11 is shaped like the letter "A," with the apex of the "A" abutting one side of the inside of the fixed seat, and the central plate 113 of the A-shaped plate 11 and the inner wall of the fixed seat 1 are connected via a second hydraulic device 12. The vertical struts 8 of the two joined bracket units are inserted into the fixed seat 1 from the top and bottom, respectively, and fastened with bolts to abut against the surfaces of the upper inclined plate 111 and the lower inclined plate 112 of the A-shaped plate 11, respectively. A rubber pad 13 is installed at the joint end of the vertical strut 8, and the rubber pad 13 has an inclined surface that corresponds to the A-shaped plate 11. A resistance block 14 is installed between the inner wall of the fixed base 1 and the joint end of the vertical support 8, and the resistance block 14 limits the horizontal displacement of the vertical support 8. A connecting spring 15 is sleeve-connected to the joint end of the vertical support 8 located inside the fixed base 1, and both ends of the connecting spring 15 are connected to the vertical support 8 and the fixed base 1 respectively.
[0022] By installing the fixing seat 1, the number of bracket units can be increased or decreased as desired according to actual needs, and by installing the A-type plate 11, rubber pad 13 and connecting spring 15 inside the fixing seat 1, shock can be absorbed by the entire bracket after joining.
[0023] Furthermore, a vibration monitor 16 may be installed on the fixed seat 1, the first locking seat 3 and the second locking seat 7. The first hydraulic device 4, the second hydraulic device 12 and the vibration monitor 16 are all connected to a control system, which may employ a PLC control system, in which the vibration monitor 16 monitors the vibration of the blood unit and feeds back to the PLC control system via a wireless signal, and the PLC control system reversely brakes the first hydraulic device 4 and the second hydraulic device 12 according to the vibration situation, thereby reducing the vibration.
[0024] The above is merely one embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure created using the specifications and drawings of the present invention, or any equivalent structure created by directly or indirectly applying it to other related technical fields, are all within the scope of patent protection of the present invention.
