3D Seismic Isolator with Segmented Rubber Layers

The isolator is divided into multiple rubber layers with different thicknesses, where the first rubber layer has increased thickness to reduce vertical rigidity and improve vibration isolation, while subsequent rubber layers maintain standard thickness to ensure structural stability. This segmentation allows different parts of the isolator to fulfill different functions simultaneously.

Different rubber layers are assigned different thicknesses to create local quality variations. The first rubber layer has larger thickness for vibration isolation, while other layers have standard thickness for stability. This local differentiation resolves the contradiction between overall stability and local vibration isolation performance.

The total rubber thickness is segmented into multiple layers with different thicknesses. The first layer has increased thickness for vibration isolation, while subsequent layers have standard thickness. This allows the isolator to achieve improved vibration isolation without compromising overall stability, as the combined structure maintains adequate rigidity.

Instead of increasing thickness in one dimension, the solution adds multiple layers in the vertical dimension, creating a multi-layered structure. This dimensional approach allows the first layer to be thicker for vibration isolation while the cumulative effect of multiple layers maintains overall structural stability.

The isolator is segmented into multiple rubber layers with the first layer optimized for vibration isolation and subsequent layers for load-bearing and stability. This segmentation allows the isolator to simultaneously provide both vibration isolation and seismic protection functions, making it suitable for high-rise buildings near transportation hubs.

The multi-layer rubber isolator is designed to perform multiple functions: the first rubber layer provides vertical vibration isolation, while the combination of all layers provides load-bearing capacity and horizontal seismic isolation. This multi-functionality makes the isolator suitable for both seismic protection and environmental vibration isolation in high-rise buildings.

The large isolator is segmented into multiple smaller rubber layers that can be manufactured separately using standard-sized molds and equipment. This segmentation allows each layer to be produced with conventional manufacturing capabilities, avoiding the need for expensive large-tonnage vulcanizing equipment while maintaining the required load-bearing capacity through the combined structure.

Instead of creating one large thick isolator that requires expensive manufacturing, the solution stacks multiple thinner layers in the vertical dimension. This dimensional approach achieves the required total thickness and load-bearing capacity while each individual layer can be manufactured with standard equipment, significantly reducing manufacturing costs.
