  The problem to be solved by the invention is that there is no seismic isolation device that can accurately prevent seismic isolation, vibration attenuation, and even toppling of vending machines and display shelves with a simple configuration. Is a point.

  The present invention provides a seismic isolation device that is disposed between an installation surface and a bottom portion of a seismic isolation object and performs seismic isolation by inducing back-and-forth movement from a neutral position of the seismic isolation object during an earthquake. For both forward and backward movement of the seismic object, the seismic isolator equipped with a tilt inducing mechanism that raises the bottom front side of the seismic isolation object from the neutral position and tilts the seismic isolation object itself backward The most important feature is that a plurality of units are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction at the bottom of the object.

The present invention has the following effects.
According to the first and second aspects of the invention, the front side of the base of the seismic isolation object is set to the neutral position by the tilt induction mechanism in both the forward movement and the rear movement of the seismic isolation object at the time of the occurrence of the earthquake. The seismic isolation object itself can be tilted backward, and with a simple configuration, the seismic isolation object such as vending machines and display shelves can be properly seismically isolated and even prevented from falling. It is possible to provide a seismic isolation device with a two-unit configuration that can be achieved, and by providing a configuration with an attenuator, the vibration damping effect can be exhibited and the seismic isolation function can be further enhanced.

However, it is possible to raise the bottom front side of the seismic isolation object from the neutral position and tilt the seismic isolation object itself backward, and earthquakes occur in seismic isolation objects such as vending machines and display shelves with a simple configuration. It is possible to provide a seismic isolation device that can accurately prevent seismic isolation at times and prevent falls.

Further, by adopting a configuration in which an attenuator is added, the vibration damping effect can be exhibited and the seismic isolation function can be further enhanced.

  The purpose of the present invention is to provide a seismic isolation device capable of accurately preventing seismic isolation at the time of earthquakes such as vending machines and display shelves with a simple configuration, and also providing an isolation system and seismic isolation. A seismic isolation device that is arranged between the bottom of an object and induces seismic isolation by inducing a back-and-forth movement from the neutral position of the seismic isolation object during an earthquake, wherein the seismic isolation object moves forward and backward Both of them are equipped with a tilt-inducing mechanism that raises the bottom front side of the seismic isolation object from the neutral position and tilts the seismic isolation object itself backward, and a plurality of units are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction at the bottom of the seismic isolation object And a configuration having an attenuator that attenuates the vibration of the seismic isolation object attached to the seismic isolation device.

Examples of the present invention will be described in detail below.
1 and 2 show a seismic isolation device 1 according to this embodiment. This seismic isolation device 1 includes an installation surface 2 such as a ground surface or a floor surface, and a seismic isolation object 3 such as a vending machine or a shelf. The seismic isolation object 3 is isolated in the event of an earthquake and further configured to prevent falling.

The seismic isolation device 1 includes a rectangular parallelepiped base body 10 having a size comparable to the depth dimension of the seismic isolation object 3 disposed on the installation surface 2, and the bottom side of the seismic isolation object 3, that is, The rail-shaped receiver 11 disposed on the bottom plate 3a side of the base isolation object 3 and the base isolation object 3 disposed at a position corresponding to the front side of the base isolation object 3 between the base body 10 and the receiver 11. A position corresponding to the neutral position (position not tilted forward and backward) is the lowest portion 12c, and inclined portions 12a and 12b that rise at different angles on the front side and the rear side are substantially rectangular parallelepiped and rail-shaped tilt induction bodies 12 and A rectangular parallelepiped and rail-shaped flat body 13 paired with the inclination inducing body 12 arranged in series at a position corresponding to the rear side of the seismic isolation object 3 between the base body 10 and the receiving body 11; Between the body 11 and the tilt-inducing body 12 and between the receiving body 11 and the flat body 13. It is provided with a seismic isolation device having people arranged a cylindrical two rolling elements 14.
The diameter of the rolling element 14 is set such that the bottom surface of the receiving body 11 does not contact the uppermost part of the tilt inducing body 12 at the neutral position of the seismic isolation object 3.

  The seismic isolator 1 having such a configuration is configured as a seismic isolation device 1 having a configuration in which two units are arranged in parallel in the front-rear direction at both corners according to the width of the seismic isolation object 3 at the bottom of the seismic isolation object 3. The number of the seismic isolation devices arranged in parallel is not particularly limited.

Next, the seismic isolation operation by the seismic isolation device 1 having the above configuration will be described with reference to FIGS.
FIG. 3 shows a case where the seismic isolation object 3 is in a neutral position. In this case, the seismic isolation object 3 is in an upright state not inclined forward and backward, and the receiver 11 The rolling element 14 between the inclination inducing bodies 12 is located in the lowest part 12c of the inclination inducing body 12. Further, it is assumed that a wall 20 exists on the back side of the seismic isolation object 3.

  In this state, when the seismic isolation object 3 receives and displaces a seismic force that is displaced forward as shown in FIG. 4 when an earthquake occurs, the rolling element 14 between the receiver 11 and the inclination inducing body 12 also changes. It rolls in contact with the receiving body 11 and the inclination inducing body 12, and moves to the front side along the inclined surface on the inclined portion 12a. Further, the rolling element 14 between the receiver 11 and the flat body 13 rolls in contact with the receiver 11 and the flat body 13 and moves while maintaining the same height on the front side.

  As a result, the front side of the bottom plate 3a of the seismic isolation object 3 is positioned higher than the rear side, and the seismic isolation object 3 itself is inclined to the wall 20 as a whole as shown in FIG. This prevents the seismic isolation object 3 from being moved forward.

  Next, when the seismic isolation object 3 receives and displaces the seismic force that is displaced rearward as shown in FIG. 5 when an earthquake occurs, the rolling element 14 between the receiver 11 and the inclination inducing body 12 also changes. It rolls in contact with the receiving body 11 and the inclination inducing body 12, and this time moves to the rear side along the inclined surface on the inclined portion 12b. Further, the rolling element 14 between the receiving body 11 and the flat body 13 rolls while being in contact with the receiving body 11 and the flat body 13 and moves while maintaining the same height on the rear side.

  As a result, the front side of the bottom plate 3a of the seismic isolation object 3 is positioned higher as shown in FIG. 5 than the rear side, and the seismic isolation object 3 itself as a whole is on the wall 20 side as shown in FIG. Thus, the seismic isolation object 3 is prevented from being moved forward.

  In this way, when the seismic isolation object 3 is displaced back and forth at the time of the occurrence of an earthquake, in any case, it is possible to accurately prevent the seismic isolation object 3 from being moved forward and to improve safety.

  In addition, since the inclination inducing body 12 includes the inclined parts 12a and 12b having different inclination angles before and after the lowest part 12c, the inclination angle of the inclined part 12b is set larger than the inclination angle of the inclined part 12a. By increasing the resistance force in the case of rear displacement while exhibiting the above-mentioned seismic isolation effect, it is possible to suppress the displacement of the seismic isolation object 3 toward the wall 20 side, and the seismic isolation object 3 and the wall It becomes possible to reduce the space | interval with 20 and to aim at space saving.

  Moreover, since the seismic isolation object 3 is subjected to seismic isolation when the seismic isolation object 3 is displaced back and forth while rolling the rolling element 14, the seismic isolation is composed of a vending machine having a small longitudinal dimension (depth dimension), a display shelf, or the like. Even in the case of the object 3, it is possible to achieve the seismic isolation.

  Furthermore, since the seismic isolation object 3 can tolerate a displacement approximately twice the length of the tilt inducing body 12, the installation space for the seismic isolation object 3 can be used as a small space for the seismic isolation.

  As described above, the seismic isolation device 1 according to the present embodiment has a simple structure and can be configured at a low price, and has already been used as an existing vending machine, a merchandise display shelf of a retail store, etc. that have not been seized with seismic isolation measures. It is suitable to apply to.

  In addition to the case described above, the shape of the inclination inducing body 12 is a shape having different curvatures on the front side and the rear side of the lowest part, that is, a curved surface shape having a small curvature on the front side of the lowest part and a large curvature on the rear side. The same action as in the case of the inclination inducing body 12 can also be exhibited with this shape.

  FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the seismic isolation device 1 according to the present embodiment, in which an attenuator 21 made of, for example, a hydraulic damper that attenuates the vibration of the seismic isolation object 3 is connected between the base 10 and the receiver 11. 6 shows a seismic isolation device 1A added to rotate corresponding to the relative displacement of the base 10 and the receiver 11 as indicated by an arrow. According to this seismic isolation device 1A, an attenuator 21 causes an earthquake. There is an advantage that the vibration damping function can be enhanced and the seismic isolation function can be improved as compared with the seismic isolation device 1.

Next, a specific configuration example of a stopper mechanism provided between the base 10 and the receiver 11 will be described with reference to FIGS.
In the examples shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the configurations of the base 10 and the receiver 11 are simplified. In the examples shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, the base 10A is used instead of the base 10. In addition, a receiving body 11A is adopted instead of the receiving body 11.

  That is, the base body 10A has a substantially U-shaped cross section, and the upper end portions 10b on both sides are bent inward so as to face each other to form a rail shape as a whole, and the inclination inducing body 12 has a length at the bottom. It arrange | positions along a direction and the rolling element 14 is arrange | positioned further.

  The receiving body 11A has a stopper piece 11c wider than an interval d between an insertion portion 11b that enters the base body 10A from above the base body 10A and an upper end portion 10b of the base body 10A provided at the bottom of the insertion portion 11b. It is equipped with.

  By adding the stopper mechanism having such a configuration to the seismic isolation devices 1 and 1A, from the state in which the rolling element 14 is positioned at the lowest part 12c of the inclination inducing body 12 as shown in FIG. When the rolling element 14 reaches the position shown in FIG. 9 where the rolling element 14 rises the inclined portion 12a (or 12b) of the inclination inducing body 12 due to vibration, the stopper piece 11c is pushed by the rolling element 14 and the upper end portion 10b of the base body 10A. It will be in the state which regulates the further raise of the front side part of seismic isolation object 3 by this. In other words, the stopper mechanism exhibits a fail-safe function for preventing the seismic isolation object 3 from falling.

  FIG. 10 shows a seismic isolation device 30 according to another embodiment of the present invention. This seismic isolation device 30 has the same basic configuration as that of the seismic isolation device 1, but has a single configuration as a whole. It is a feature. In FIG. 10, the same elements as those in the seismic isolation device 1 shown in FIG.

  The seismic isolation device 30 has a base 31 having a surface area approximately equal to the bottom area of the seismic isolation object 3 disposed on the installation surface 2 and a base 31 disposed on the bottom side of the seismic isolation object 3. And the position corresponding to the neutral position of the seismic isolation object 3 disposed at the front side of the base body 31 and the base body 31 between the base body 31 and the receiving body 32 and at both corners, respectively. The part 12c, the two inclined inducing bodies 12 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, which are inclined parts 12a and 12b rising at different angles before and after, and the seismic isolation object between the base 31 and the receiving body 32 The two flat bodies 13 that are respectively paired with the respective inclination inducing bodies 12 arranged on the rear side of the object 3 and at both corners, the receiver 32, between the inclination inducing bodies 12, and the receiver 32. And a tilt inducing mechanism having a total of four rolling elements 14 arranged between the flat bodies 13 respectively. .

  Also in this seismic isolation device 30, as the shape of the inclination inducing body 12, in addition to the case described above, the shape having different curvatures on the front side and the rear side of the lowest part, that is, the curvature on the front side of the lowest part is small and the rear side Even in the case of a curved surface shape having a large curvature, the same action as in the case of the inclination inducing body 12 can be exhibited.

  According to this seismic isolation device 30, the same operation and effect as the case where two seismic isolation devices 1 as shown in FIG. 1 are used as a parallel configuration can be exhibited.

  FIG. 11 shows an immunity in which an attenuator 21 for attenuating the vibration of the seismic isolation object 3 is added between the base 31 and the receiving body 32 of the seismic isolation device 30 having the above-described configuration in the same manner as shown in FIG. The seismic isolation device 30 </ b> A is shown. According to this seismic isolation device 30 </ b> A, there is an advantage that the attenuator 21 can enhance the damping action of the vibration at the time of the earthquake and improve the seismic isolation function compared to the case of the seismic isolation device 30.

  It should be noted that the seismic isolation devices 30 and 30A shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 can of course be configured to employ the stopper mechanism as shown in FIG. In this case, the fail-safe function for preventing the seismic isolation object 3 from falling can be exhibited.

The present invention can be similarly applied to a case where a seismic vibration is performed, so that the display shelf can be prevented from being moved forward, and damage caused by the product jumping forward from the shelf can be avoided.
