The invention relates to the technical field of cultural relic and important exhibit protection, and discloses an exhibit cabinet with a double-layer orthogonal
horizontal translation seismic isolation structure and an
energy consumption limiting function. The exhibit cabinet comprises a bottom rigid partition plate, a middle rigid partition plate, an upper rigid partition plate, an exhibit appearance cabinet body, a double-layer scissor type
horizontal translation mechanism, a shock absorption and isolation
cushion block, an
energy consumption anti-collision strip, an external
enclosure cabinet body and a bottom balancing weight. The first layer of
horizontal translation seismic isolation mechanism is arranged between the bottom rigid partition plate and the middle rigid partition plate, the second layer of horizontal translation
seismic isolation mechanism is arranged between the middle rigid partition plate and the upper rigid partition plate, and the two
layers of mechanisms are orthogonally arranged in the horizontal plane; each layer of mechanism is composed of scissor type translation units which are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, each translation unit is of a multi-hinge-point closed constraint structure formed by hinging a plurality of long rods, short rods and shaft pins, and approximate pure translation of the upper structure relative to the lower structure is achieved. A shock absorption and isolation
cushion block is arranged below the bottom rigid partition plate to provide vertical flexible support; energy dissipation anti-collision strips are arranged on the periphery to conduct compression energy dissipation and limiting under the large-displacement working condition; the balancing weight is arranged on the lower portion to lower the overall
gravity center and improve the anti-overturning capacity. Low-rigidity translational
vibration isolation can be achieved in the two orthogonal horizontal directions, the
vertical vibration reduction function and the
tail end energy dissipation limiting function are achieved, the influence of earthquakes and environment vibration on exhibits is effectively reduced, and the anti-overturning performance and the safety protection performance of the exhibits with the
high gravity center are improved.
