Embodiment 1:
In the present embodiment, a kind of prefabricated shock insulation staircase structure, including terraced beam 1 and precast stair 2, precast stair 2 include rank Bench 21 and terraced end 22 offer on above-mentioned terraced beam 1 and are adapted with precast stair 2 and the overlap joint slot 11 of right side perforation, installation When, above-mentioned ladder beam 1 snaps onto overlap joint slot 11.
Several spliced eyes 12, each grafting are offered along 2 width direction of precast stair in the slot bottom of above-mentioned overlap joint slot 11 A resilient cushion 3 is plugged in hole 12, specifically, which is handed over by multilayer rubber layer 31 and multilayer engineering plastic flitch 32 It is folded vulcanize or the resilient cushion 3 by multilayer rubber layer 31 and multilayer steel plates 33 it is overlapping it is viscous it is glutinous form, when installation, The lower end of the resilient cushion 3 is plugged in above-mentioned spliced eye 12, and the upper end of each resilient cushion 3 is both connected to the lower face of square plate 4 On, which is by the plate-type structural piece of stainless bracing members, and the value range of thickness is 8mm to 12mm, and optimal setting is The lower face of 10mm, square plate 4 are Nian Jie with the upper end of resilient cushion 3, and when installation, the terraced end 22 of above-mentioned precast stair 2 is overlapped on On above-mentioned 4 upper face of square plate, using resilient cushion 3 and square plate 4, can reduce well terraced beam 1 when an earthquake occurs be transferred to it is prefabricated Up-down vibration on stair 2 is installed with gap between terraced 22 side wall of end and overlap joint 11 side wall of slot.
It is provided with A pin hole 13 on above-mentioned 11 slot bottom of overlap joint slot and the overlap joint left cell wall of slot 11, at above-mentioned terraced end 22 It is taken on 22 left side wall of the setting of the position of 13 face of A pin hole on above-mentioned 11 slot bottom of overlap joint slot and terraced end with above-mentioned on bottom wall The position of 13 face of A pin hole on the left cell wall of access slot 11 is provided with a B pin hole 221.
Prefabricated shock insulation staircase structure provided in this embodiment further includes the first positioning pin 5 and the second positioning pin 6, and is somebody's turn to do First positioning pin 5 is identical with the structure of the second positioning pin 6, includes the end A 101, the end B 102 and inner fovea part 103, inner fovea part 103 are connected to the structure that big at both ends and small in middle is formed between the end A 101 and the end B 102, specifically, the above-mentioned end A 101, the end B Portion 102 and inner fovea part 103 are cylindrical structures and three is coaxially disposed, and the outer peripheral diameter of the above-mentioned end A 101 is equal to the end B 102 outer peripheral diameter and the outer peripheral diameter for being greater than inner fovea part 103.In this way, the load ability of inner fovea part 103 is just less than the end A 101 With the load ability of the end B 102, A pin hole 13 is provided on the above-mentioned end A 101 and above-mentioned 11 cell wall of overlap joint slot and is adapted, B End 102 is adapted with the B pin hole 221 on above-mentioned terraced end 22.The first positioning pin 5 and the second positioning pin 6 in the present embodiment Formed by concreting.
When installation, the end A 101 of the first positioning pin 5 is plugged on to the A pin hole 13 of above-mentioned 11 slot bottom of overlap joint slot It is interior, the end B 102 of first positioning pin 5 is plugged in the B pin hole 221 on terraced 22 bottom wall of end, and above-mentioned first positioning pin 5 inner fovea part 103 is placed between 22 bottom wall of overlap joint 11 slot bottom of slot and terraced end.Under normal circumstances, which just can be right Terraced end 22 is mounted in overlap joint slot 11 and is all around positioned and limited, and when earthquake occurs, terraced beam 1 is first subjected to Vibration will generate very big shearing force between terraced beam 1 and terraced end 22 and act on the first positioning pin 5, due to the first positioning pin 5 103 load ability of inner fovea part it is small, inner fovea part 103 will be broken, so that separating between terraced beam 1 and terraced end 22, reduce ladder Beam 1 is transferred to the vibration at terraced end 22, achievees the effect that shock insulation.
The end A 101 of above-mentioned second positioning pin 6 is plugged in the A pin hole 13 on the overlap joint left cell wall of slot 11, by this The end B 102 of second positioning pin 6 is plugged on the B pin hole 221 on terraced 22 left side wall of end, and the inner fovea part of the second positioning pin 6 103 are placed in the gap between 22 left side wall of the overlap joint left cell wall of slot 11 and terraced end.Under normal circumstances, which just can To terraced end 22 be mounted on overlap joint slot 11 in carry out up and down front and back positioning and limit, when earthquake occurs, terraced beam 1 first by To vibration, the shearing force between terraced beam 1 and terraced end 22 can also act on the second positioning pin 6, due to the inner fovea part of the second positioning pin 6 103 load abilities are small, and the inner fovea part 103 of the second positioning pin 6 is easy to be broken under the action of shear force, thus so that ladder It is separated between beam 1 and terraced end 22, reduces the vibration that terraced beam 1 is transferred to terraced end 22, achieve the effect that shock insulation.
For the ease of installation, the B pin hole 221 on 22 bottom wall of above-mentioned terraced end is limited through above-mentioned terraced 22 bottom wall of end and top Portion.
As the optimal embodiment of the present embodiment, the quantity of the spliced eye 13 of overlap joint 11 slot bottom of slot in the present embodiment Be three to five, optimal setting be the quantity of four namely resilient cushion 3 it is optimal be four, with enhance terraced end 22 install it is steady It is qualitative.
Above description is only a specific implementation of the present invention, but the protection scope of the utility model is not limited to In this, anyone skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the utility model, can readily occur in variation Or replacement, it should be covered within the scope of the utility model.Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model should be with the power Subject to the protection scope that benefit requires.
