Description

The present invention relates to a seismic isolation bearing device used for heavy structures such as small art objects that are fragile, article stands, equipment, indoor floors, etc. First, hard balls made of a suitable rigid material are used, the load capacity of the seismic isolation object is large, and the hard balls in the steel ball unloaded stationary and moving space can move without stagnation at any time, and further external magnetism can be generated. This is related to a multi-sphere seismic isolation device that is also used for rejected devices.

A steel ball seismic isolation device G is known in the prior art. An upper rolling disk base 2 made of a non-magnetic material is arranged in accordance with the center point on the lower surface side of the mounting plate 17 made of steel material, and between the upper surface side of the upper rolling disk base 2 and the lower surface side of the mounting plate 17. An outer annular yoke 30a made of steel material, an inner annular yoke 30b and a yoke 30c are arranged to form a magnet arrangement chamber 31 and a permanent magnet 11b is inserted, and the outer diameter of the upper rolling disk base 2 is formed. A steel ball detachment prevention rectangular wall plate 28 made of a steel material is provided so as to form a steel ball unloaded stationary and moving space 22 between the entire circumference, and becomes a ceiling in the steel ball unloaded stationary and moving space 22. A magnet insertion hole 32 is opened on the lower surface of the mounting plate 17 to insert the permanent magnet 11b, and each except for the upper rolling disk base 2 is integrally fixed, and the load-loading rolling surface 20 and the lower rolling plate 1 are fixed. In the meantime, the steel ball 1 is further disposed in the no-load stop and movement space 22 of the steel ball, and the rough structure is formed by placing it on the lower rolling plate 1. A.

The mounting plate 17, the outer annular yoke 30a, the inner annular yoke 30b and the yoke 30c, the steel ball detachment prevention rectangular wall plate 28 and the steel ball 1 are each formed of a magnetic steel material. The steel ball 1 can be magnetically attached with the upper rolling disk base 2 in which the permanent magnet 11b is made of a non-magnetic material.

Since the steel ball 1 is magnetically attached, the steel ball 1 is prevented from over-commuting outside the steel ball isolation bearing device G, and the handling of the bearing device G is much easier and the steel ball of many balls Since the ball 1 moves between the load-bearing rolling surface 20 and the steel ball no-load retaining / moving space 22 in a single flat surface to make the rolling seismic isolation, it is flat and has a low seating height and a large displacement allowance. It has the feature that steel ball seismic isolation device G can be obtained. (See Patent Document 1)

Patent 5649259.

However, (1) Since the material of the seismic isolation ball used is limited to magnetic steel, the steel ball 1 is vulnerable to rust, and the use of the steel ball seismic isolation device G outdoors, in places where seawater or fresh water is used. There are limitations, and seismic isolation spheres made of non-magnetic materials such as stainless steel spheres are also used, but have the disadvantage that they are not magnetically attached. (2) Prevention of decrease in magnetic adhesion


From the standpoint of stopping, it is desirable that the thickness of the upper rolling disk base 2 made of a non-magnetic material is as thin as possible. To support a heavy load seismic isolation object, it is necessary to use the upper rolling disk base 2 having a large thickness. However, there are some limitations in supporting heavy-weight seismic objects. (3) A steel ball unloaded stationary / moving space 22 that is relatively wide and high at the same height as the magnet placement chamber 31 below the lower surface of the mounting plate 17 serving as a ceiling in the steel ball unloaded stationary / moving space 22. Therefore, the steel ball will be pushed into the subsequent steel ball that is transferred from the upper rolling disk base 2 and will be retained in a hexagonal filling manner in the steel ball no-load retaining and moving space 22. If there is a large amount of retention, the amount of steel balls moving into the load-bearing rolling surface 20 will decrease, and the rolling steel balls will tend to be insufficient. Have difficulties that cannot be completely resolved. (4) Although the steel material as the constituent material of the bearing device G can magnetically shield the majority of the leakage of the magnetic field lines of the permanent magnet 11b to the outside, complete magnetic shielding is difficult and equipment that rejects external magnetism, etc. However, there are some limitations in using it.

The present invention has been made in view of the difficulties (1) to (4) possessed by the steel ball seismic isolation device G of Patent Document 1 of the above-described prior art. The seismic isolation ball can be easily moved without stagnation at any time within the steel ball unloaded stationary and moving space, and further rejects external magnetism. The objective is to provide a multi-sphere seismic isolation device that can also be used for equipment at low cost.

  A first means for achieving the above object of the present invention is a steel ball seismic isolation device, which is made of an appropriate rigid material facing the upper surface side of the lower rolling plate, and is loaded with a load having a predetermined diameter. An upper rolling disk base with the same diameter and a predetermined thickness with the moving surface as the lower surface is provided.

A predetermined space width is secured from the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base, and a cylindrical ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base is erected.

An appropriate number of rigid balls made of an appropriate rigid material are placed on the lower rolling plate, and the load-loading rolling surface of the upper rolling disk base is brought into contact with the rigid ball to prevent the ball from coming off and sliding support wall plate. The lower end height is set to a height using a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the lower rolling plate.

Align the bottom surface line of the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate with the predetermined height position of the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base above the load-bearing rolling surface line to the predetermined space. An annular sphere non-supporting space ceiling plate of the same width as the upper rolling disc base and the same rigid material is horizontally arranged so as to abut against the inner wall surface of the ball bearing prevention and sliding support wall plate body. Thus, a ball non-load retaining / moving space is formed between the bottom surface of the non-sphere space ceiling plate and the top surface of the lower rolling plate.

Align the upper surface height of the ceiling surface of the ball non-supporting space with the upper surface of the upper rolling disc base and the ball separation prevention / sliding support wall plate body, and form an appropriate shape on the entire outer edge of the upper end of the ball separation prevention / slide bearing wall plate body The mounting plate is disposed.

Along the inner edge of the entire outer peripheral edge of the load-bearing rolling surface, change the ball path change / slide bearing cylinder made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base, the ball course change / slide bearing cylinder lower end height as appropriate, Ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate The same height as the lower end height of the body shall be arranged at equal intervals.

Furthermore, an appropriate number of ball insertion holes with stoppers are opened at appropriate positions on the ceiling plate of the non-ballistic space ceiling plate, and an appropriate number of rigid spheres are placed in the unloaded and stopped space. Insert.

The upper rolling disc base, the non-ball-supporting space ceiling plate, the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate, the mounting plate, and the ball course changing / sliding bearing column are fixed and integrated together appropriately. This is a multi-sphere seismic isolation device.

Appropriate rigid material for the upper rolling disk base is made of steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, synthetic resin, etc., regardless of whether it is magnetic or non-magnetic. Any rigid material can be used as long as it is capable of supporting the load and resisting rolling isolation.

The predetermined diameter of the load-bearing rolling surface is a flat surface with an appropriate number of hard spheres that are more than the minimum required for rolling isolation by supporting the seismic isolation load by multiple multi-ball seismic isolation devices. It is a diameter that exists in the shape and is capable of rolling isolation. The predetermined thickness is a thickness that can share and support the seismic isolation load to be borne.

Predetermined space secured between the outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base and the cylindrical ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate is the width between the inner wall of the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate and the upper rolling disk base. This is a space width in which an appropriate number of hard spheres can be easily reciprocated and moved between the entire outer peripheries of.

The same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base is used for the rigid sphere made of an appropriate rigid material, and the diameter of the rigid sphere is used as appropriate, but it is selected based on the load of the seismic isolation object to be borne.

Sphere separation prevention and sliding bearing wall plate lower end height is set to a height using a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the lower rolling plate. The predetermined interval prevents the ball from being used during normal times and during rolling isolation. This is the interval at which overflow cannot be lost to the outside of the plate body.

The thickness of the upper rolling disc base above the load-bearing rolling surface line, and the predetermined height position of the entire outer periphery in the upward direction, means that there is no ball from above the lower rolling plate under the load-bearing rolling surface. Rigid spheres rolling into the load-holding / moving space have an appropriate height that cannot be stopped in a hexagonal manner from above the lower rolling plate in the ball-free loading / moving space. The height is such that a hard sphere can only exist in one flat plane in the unloaded stationary and moving space. Furthermore, the height is high enough to allow a large number of hard spheres to easily move in a single flat form without being stacked.

In addition, the horizontal range in which the lower surface line of the sphere non-supporting space ceiling plate is disposed horizontally so as to abut against the inner wall surface of the ball bearing prevention and sliding support wall plate body, Ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate or upturn


A slight inclination angle in the direction of the entire outer peripheral edge of the moving disk base is also included, and an appropriate slight inclination angle can be used for the lower surface line of the sphere non-supporting space ceiling plate.

Welding is used as a means to properly fix the upper rolling disk base, the non-ball-supporting space ceiling plate, the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate, the mounting plate, and the ball path changing / sliding bearing column. It can be formed by using a screw, screwing, casting or a mold. Any means can be used as long as it can be firmly fixed integrally.

In order to achieve the object of the present invention, the second solution means that a ball falling prevention and sliding prevention wall plate body is provided with an appropriate ball rolling loss prevention mechanism having a predetermined height on the outer wall surface side. It is placed on the moving plate, and a predetermined upper end height is used as the upper end height of the ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate.

The seismic isolation load-bearing column made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disk platform of the appropriate shape at the appropriate position on the upper surface side of the upper rolling disk platform and the non-supporting space ceiling plate, the upper end height of which is a sphere Displacement prevention and sliding support wall plate is arranged at the same height as the top edge.

A mounting plate having a predetermined width and having an appropriate shape is arranged on the entire outer edge side of the upper end of the ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate.

The bottom end of the seismic isolation load support column is on the upper surface of the upper rolling disk base, and the inner end side of the mounting plate is attached to the outer edge side of the upper end of the ball bearing wall plate to prevent ball detachment. This is the configuration of the multi-sphere seismic isolation device as the first solution.

The predetermined height of the ball-rolling loss prevention mechanism is the ball-rolling-loss prevention mechanism that is placed on the lower rolling plate when the multi-ball seismic isolation device is lifted from the lower rolling plate due to earthquake motion. However, it is a height at which the hard sphere can be prevented from overturning to the outside from the lower end of the sphere separation preventing and sliding support wall plate.

The ball detachment prevention and sliding bearing wall plate body height is obtained by adding the minimum value of the diameter of the rigid sphere used as the minimum value of the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism. When the ball floats above the rolling plate, the ball rolling loss prevention mechanism is minimized, and the hard ball can be prevented from over-rolling out of the ball bearing wall plate prevention and sliding support wall plate.

The specified upper end height of the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate is such that the hard sphere overloads outside the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate, making rolling isolation impossible and Ball path change and sliding bearing circle When the pillar and the sliding bearing are made into a sliding bearing, the ball commutation prevention mechanism added with the diameter value of the hard sphere used as the minimum is easy to fit between the lower surface of the mounting plate and the lower rolling plate. That's it.

The predetermined width of the mounting plate is a width that can accommodate the lateral width of the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism provided on the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate.

When the ball separation prevention and sliding bearing wall plate floats up, the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism is on the lower rolling plate and can prevent the rigid ball from over-commutating outside the lower end. It is possible to use a ball commutation prevention mechanism of an appropriate material and configuration.

The third solution to achieve the object of the present invention is that a suitable ball roll-off loss prevention mechanism surrounds the entire circumference of the outer wall surface of the ball bearing prevention and sliding support wall plate body, and rolls down freely. This is a configuration of a multi-sphere seismic isolation device as a second solving means, which is made of a cylindrical annular plate material of an appropriate thickness made of an appropriate rigid material placed on a plate.

The multi-ball base isolation device of the first to third solutions is a structure in which a large number of relatively small spheres are subjected to rolling isolation in a single flat plane under the load-bearing rolling surface. It is a low-profile and compact device that is light in weight, easy to handle, and easy to install.

Since a number of hard spheres are rolling-isolated under a load-bearing rolling surface in a single flat surface, the seismic isolation object is supported at multiple points, and the lower rolling plate supports loads distributed at multiple points. Therefore, it does not support local points, and does not require a rigid dedicated lower rolling plate, and it is possible to use a flat concrete floor surface or artificial stone floor surface that is a normal rigid smooth surface as the lower rolling plate. In addition, when supporting a light load seismic isolation object, a floor surface made of structural plywood or other flat wood floor surface can be used as a lower rolling plate.

If the base plate of the seismic isolation object is a small seismic isolation object that fits within the area of the mounting plate of one multi-ball seismic isolation device, use only one multi-ball seismic isolation device. A complete multi-ball seismic isolation device, and for large-area seismic isolation devices, a required number of appropriate load support locations Can be inserted and used one by one,

Sphere non-supporting space The ceiling board bottom surface line height is set to the appropriate height below that the rigid sphere that moves into the ball unloaded stationary / moving space cannot stop in a hexagonal manner. Can be easily moved in a single flat surface without stagnating hard balls and without stagnating, and the hard sphere moves smoothly under the load-bearing rolling surface. The hard sphere can roll-isolate without any problems during large linear displacements as well as large mixed displacements, allowing a larger displacement.

The ball course changing and sliding bearing cylinder functions as a sliding bearing and also has the function of changing the ball course.In the case of rolling isolation, a large number of hard spheres are aligned according to the displacement direction of the lower rolling plate and are linear. Since the ball is unloaded and moved into the moving space, it is likely to be stagnant.By changing the ball course and sliding support cylinder, some hard spheres are turbulent in straight travel, and the course is changed. Stagnation can be prevented.

Preventing ball detachment and sliding support wall plate body and ball path changing and sliding support cylinders with the same height at the lower end are placed under the load-bearing rolling surface at an appropriate number of equal intervals, so that a hard sphere can be expected due to earthquake motion. Is ball slip prevention and sliding


Even if rolling over and over is lost to the outside of the bearing wall plate, the lower end of both the ball separation prevention and sliding bearing wall plate and the ball path change and sliding bearing column are on the lower rolling plate. 1Slides on the top surface, exhibits a sliding support function, and can maintain the minimum seismic isolation function.

Multi-sphere seismic bearings that do not have the function of magnetic attachment of hard spheres by opening the appropriate number of ball insertion holes with stoppers through the space between the upper and lower surfaces at appropriate positions on the ceiling plate of the non-sphere space. It is possible to easily hold the ball without load in the apparatus and to insert the hard sphere into the moving space.

By using stainless steel balls, synthetic resin balls, etc. as hard balls made of a suitable hard material, it can be used outdoors, in places where sea water or fresh water is used, and the range of use of the device is economical. can get.

Sphere separation prevention and sliding bearing wall The outer wall of the plate body is equipped with an appropriate ball tumbling loss prevention mechanism. It is possible to prevent overturning to the outside of the sliding support wall plate body, and it is not necessary to have a permanent magnet and a stainless steel upper rolling disc base, and further, no magnet chamber is required. Sex is obtained.

Since a permanent magnet is not used, it can be used for equipment that refuses the entry of external magnetism, and the economic effect of widening the range of use of the device can be obtained.

The upper rolling disk base can be used as long as it is a rigid material, and the thickness is also used without any restrictions. Seismic isolation device.

The rigid ball 34 that has rolled into the ball no-load holding / moving space 36 from above cannot be stopped in a hexagonal manner from the lower rolling plate 1 in the ball no-load holding / moving space 36. Specifically, the height is such that the hard sphere 34 can exist only in a single flat plane in the ball no-load stationary and moving space 36. Furthermore, the height is high enough to allow a large number of hard spheres 34 to easily move in a single flat surface without being stacked.

It should be noted that the horizontal range is such that the lower surface line of the sphere non-supporting space ceiling plate 35 is disposed horizontally so as to abut against the inner wall surface of the ball detachment preventing and sliding support wall plate body 33. And a slight inclination angle in the direction of the entire outer periphery of the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate 33 or the upper rolling disk base 2 is included, and the lower surface line of the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate 35 is appropriately set. A slight tilt angle can be used.

The upper surface height of the upper surface of the upper rolling disk base 2 is aligned with the upper surface height of the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate 35 and the ball separation prevention / sliding support wall plate 33, and the upper end of the ball separation prevention / slide support wall plate 33 is entirely outside. A mounting plate 17 having an appropriate shape is arranged on the edge side. If necessary, the upper plate of the upper rolling disk base 2 or the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate may be provided without the mounting plate 17 being disposed on the entire outer edge side of the upper end of the ball bearing wall plate 33 for preventing or removing the ball. It is possible to arrange on the upper surface side of 35 using an appropriate shape.

An appropriate number of ball course changing / sliding bearing cylinders 37 made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base 2 are provided along the inner edge of the entire outer peripheral edge of the load-loading rolling surface 20, and the ball course changing / sliding bearing cylinder 37 is appropriately provided. The lower end height 37 is arranged at equal intervals so as to be the same height as the lower end height of the ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate 33. The diameter of the ball course changing and sliding bearing cylinder 37 is selected in consideration of the load of the seismic isolation object. The ball course changing / sliding support cylinder 37 can be further disposed and used at an appropriate position in the load-bearing rolling surface 20, and can support the seismic isolation load more stably. For this reason, it is arranged and used as necessary.

An appropriate number of ball insertion holes 39 with stopper plugs 38 are opened at appropriate positions on the ceiling plate 35 of the ball non-supporting space 35 so as to penetrate the space between the upper and lower surfaces. The hard sphere 34 is inserted. By opening the ball insertion hole 39, a large number of hard spheres 34 can be easily inserted.

The upper rolling disk base 2, the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate 35, the ball separation preventing / sliding support wall plate body 33, the mounting plate 17, and the ball course changing / sliding support column 37 are appropriately fixed to each other. It is an integrated structure.

Appropriate rigid materials for the upper rolling disk base 2 include steel, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum, synthetic resin, etc., regardless of whether they are magnetic or non-magnetic. Any rigid material can be used as long as it is capable of supporting seismic loads and resisting rolling isolation.

The predetermined diameter of the load-bearing rolling surface 20 is such that an appropriate number of hard spheres 34 that are more than the minimum number capable of rolling isolation by supporting the seismic isolation load by a plurality of multi-ball seismic isolation devices H are 1 It is a diameter that exists on the flat surface of the step and can roll. The predetermined thickness is a thickness that can share and support the seismic isolation load to be borne.

The predetermined space width 29 secured between the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base 2 and the cylindrical ball separation preventing / sliding bearing wall plate 33 is above the inner wall surface of the ball separation preventing / sliding bearing wall plate 33. The space width is such that an appropriate number of hard spheres 34 can be easily reciprocated and moved between the entire outer peripheral edges of the rolling disk base 2.

The same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base 2 is used for the rigid sphere 34 made of an appropriate rigid material, and the diameter of the rigid sphere 34 is appropriately used. However, the rigid sphere 34 is selected based on the load of the seismic isolation object to be borne.

The ball diameter of the hard sphere 34 is used as a small diameter, the number of spheres is increased, the diameter of the sphere is used as a large diameter, the number of spheres is decreased, and the load bearing rolling surface 20 is taken into consideration. Select based on the load of seismic isolation.

The lower end height of the ball separation prevention / sliding bearing wall plate body 33 is set to a height using a predetermined interval from the upper surface of the lower rolling plate 1. The predetermined interval is determined so that the hard sphere 34 to be used is normal and during rolling isolation.

For example, it can be formed by welding, screwing, casting or a forming die. Any means can be used as long as it can be firmly fixed integrally.

Hereinafter, the multi-sphere seismic isolation device K according to the second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 2 (a) to 4 (c). A description will be given using a case where the appropriate ball commutation preventing mechanism 40 is formed of a cylindrical annular plate member 40a.

On the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate 33, a cylindrical annular plate member 40a having a predetermined height is placed on the lower rolling plate 1 so as to be freely arranged. The upper end height of the ball separation prevention and sliding bearing wall plate 33 is used as a predetermined upper end height.

The seismic-isolated object load support column 41 made of the same rigid material as the plurality of the upper rolling disk base 2 having an appropriate shape at an appropriate position on the upper surface side of the upper rolling disk base 2 and the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate 35, The upper end height is arranged to be the same as the upper end height of the ball separation prevention and sliding support wall plate 33.

A mounting plate 17 having an appropriate shape and a predetermined width is disposed on the entire outer edge side of the upper end of the ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate 33.

The lower end of the seismic isolation load support column 41 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper rolling disk base 2 and the inner end side of the mounting plate 17 is fixed to the outer edge side of the upper end of the sliding bearing wall plate 33 as appropriate to prevent the ball from coming off. It is a structure that is integrated.

The predetermined height of the cylindrical annular plate member 40a is set on the lower rolling plate 1 when the multi-ball seismic isolation device K is lifted from the lower rolling plate 1 by the earthquake motion. The cylindrical annular plate member 40a has such a height that the hard sphere 34 can be prevented from over-rolling away from the lower end of the ball separation preventing / sliding bearing wall plate 33 to the outside.

By setting the appropriate value above the value obtained by adding the diameter value of the rigid sphere 34 to the lower end value of the height of the ball separation prevention and sliding bearing wall plate body 33 to the height of the cylindrical annular plate member 40a, a large number can be obtained. When the ball-isolated bearing device K is lifted from the lower rolling plate 1, the cylindrical annular plate 40 a is minimal, and the rigid ball 34 is over-rolled to the outside of the sliding bearing wall plate 33 to prevent ball separation. Can be prevented.

The predetermined upper end height of the ball separation preventing / sliding support wall plate 33 is such that the rigid ball 34 overflows out of the ball separation prevention / slip bearing wall plate 33, and the rolling seismic isolation becomes impossible. When the bearing wall plate 33 and the ball course changing / sliding bearing cylinder 37 are made into a sliding bearing, a cylindrical annular plate member 40a having an appropriate height not less than the sum of the diameter values of the rigid spheres 34 used is It is a height that can easily fit between the lower surface of the mounting plate 17 and the lower rolling plate 1.

The predetermined width of the mounting plate 17 is a width that can accommodate the lateral width of the cylindrical annular plate-shaped member 40 a provided on the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate 33.

The cylindrical annular plate-like material 40a is suitable for using various kinds of metal plates made of rigid materials, synthetic resin plates, and the like. As the plate, a single thick plate having an appropriate thickness can be used, or a thin plate can be used by being rolled up.

The cylindrical annular plate member 40a moves freely on the lower rolling plate 1 while being pushed by the outer peripheral edge of the ball bearing wall plate 33 for preventing ball separation and sliding in the event of an earthquake motion. A screw can be loosely attached to the outer peripheral edge of the prevention / sliding support wall plate 33 so as to be free.

The ball commutation loss prevention mechanism 40 is not limited to the cylindrical annular plate member 40a. When the ball disengagement prevention / sliding support wall plate 33 is lifted, the rigid ball 34 is located on the lower rolling plate 1. If it is possible to prevent excessive commutation outside the lower end, a spherical commutation prevention mechanism 40 made of an appropriate shape and material can be used.

Hereinafter, as another embodiment, a case where a cylindrical annular compression coil spring 40b is used as an appropriate ball commutation loss prevention mechanism 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c).

The cylindrical annular compression coil spring 40b is formed by using a material that can be processed into a compression coil spring, such as a steel material, a synthetic resin material, or a stainless material, on a round wire, a square wire, a thin plate, or the like.

A compression coil spring 40b is freely mounted on the lower rolling plate 1 on the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing and sliding support wall plate 33.

The compression force of the compression coil spring member 40b is extended so that the hard sphere 34 does not lose over-rolling out of the multi-ball base isolation device K when the multi-ball base isolation device K is lifted from the lower rolling plate. It needs a line thickness that can provide a compressive force that can be prevented.

It should be noted that the compression coil spring 40b can be used in the same manner with no compression force applied, with the coil height being the same height as the cylindrical annular plate member 40a.

The present invention is not limited to the above, and other configurations can be used as long as they do not depart from the gist of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a seismic isolation bearing device used for heavy structures such as small, fragile artworks, article stands, equipment, indoor floors, etc., and in particular, regardless of whether it is magnetic or non-magnetic. A device that uses hard balls made of a suitable hard material, has a large load capacity for the seismic isolation object, and is capable of moving the steel balls without load and staying stationary without any stagnation, and rejecting external magnetism. This is related to a steel ball seismic isolation device that is also used in various applications.

A steel ball seismic isolation device G is known in the prior art. An upper rolling disk base 2 made of a non-magnetic material is disposed in accordance with the center point on the lower surface side of the mounting plate 17 made of steel material, and between the upper surface side of the upper rolling disk base 2 and the lower surface side of the mounting plate 17. An outer annular yoke 30a made of a steel material, an inner annular yoke 30b, and a yoke 30c are arranged to form a magnet arrangement chamber 31, and a permanent magnet 11b is inserted. A steel ball detachment prevention rectangular wall plate 28 made of a steel material is provided so as to form a steel ball unloaded stationary / moving space 22 between the entire circumference, and becomes a ceiling in the steel ball unloaded stationary / moving space 22. A magnet insertion hole 32 is opened on the lower surface of the mounting plate 17 and the permanent magnet 11b is inserted, and each of them except for the upper rolling disk base 2 is integrally fixed, and the load-loading rolling surface 20 and the lower rolling plate 1 are fixed. In the meantime, the steel ball 1 is further disposed in the no-load retaining / moving space 22 of the steel ball and placed on the lower rolling plate 1.

By forming the mounting plate 17, the outer annular yoke 30a, the inner annular yoke 30b and the yoke 30c, the steel ball separation preventing rectangular wall plate 28 and the steel ball 1 from a magnetic steel material. The steel ball 1 can be magnetically attached with the upper rolling disk base 2 in which the permanent magnet 11b is made of a non-magnetic material.

Since the steel ball 1 is magnetically attached, the steel ball 1 is prevented from over-rolling out of the steel ball seismic isolation device G, and the handling of the bearing device G is much easier, and the steel of a large number of balls Since the ball 1 moves between the load-bearing rolling surface 20 and the steel ball no-load retaining / moving space 22 in a single flat form and is isolated from rolling, it is flat and has a low seating height and a large displacement allowance. It has the feature that the steel ball seismic isolation device G can be obtained. (See Patent Document 1)

Patent 5649259.

However, (1) Since the material of the seismic isolation ball used is limited to magnetic steel, the steel ball 1 is vulnerable to rust, and the steel ball seismic isolation device G is used outdoors, in places where seawater or fresh water is used. However, there is a limitation that seismic isolation spheres made of non-magnetic material such as stainless steel spheres are also used but are not magnetically attached. (2) The thickness of the upper rolling disk base 2 made of a non-magnetic material is preferably as small as possible from the viewpoint of preventing a decrease in magnetic force, and the upper rolling disk base 2 having a large thickness is required to support a heavy load seismic isolation object. It is necessary to use, and has a difficult point to support a heavy load seismic isolation object of a certain degree or more. (3) A relatively large and high steel ball no-load retention / movement space 22 having the same height as the magnet arrangement chamber 31 is formed below the lower surface of the mounting plate 17 serving as a ceiling in the steel ball no-load retention / movement space 22. Therefore, the steel ball tries to stop in a hexagonally packed manner in the steel ball no-load stopping and moving space 22 in a form that is pushed into the subsequent steel ball that is transferred from above the upper rolling disk base 2, If the amount of stopping is large, the moving amount of the steel ball into the load-loading rolling surface 20 is reduced and the rolling steel ball is likely to be insufficient. Even if the stopping amount is added, the stagnation at the linear large displacement amount is complete. There are difficulties that cannot be resolved. (4) Although the steel material as the constituent material of the bearing device G can magnetically shield the majority of leakage to the outside of the magnetic field lines of the permanent magnet 11b, it is difficult to completely shield the magnetic field. It has a difficult point to use.

The present invention has been made in view of the disadvantages (1) to (4) of the steel ball seismic isolation device G of Patent Document 1 of the above-described prior art, and is an appropriate rigid material regardless of whether it is magnetic or non-magnetic. A device that uses a hard sphere with a large allowable load on the seismic isolation object, and that allows the seismic isolation ball to move easily and without stagnation at any time in a steel ball unloaded stationary and moving space, and still rejects external magnetism. The purpose is to provide a steel ball seismic isolation device that can be used at low cost.

A first means for solving the above-described object of the present invention is a steel ball seismic isolation device , which is made of a suitable rigid material facing the upper surface side of the lower rolling plate and has a predetermined diameter. An upper rolling disk base having a predetermined thickness and the same diameter with the moving surface as the lower surface side is disposed.

A predetermined space width is secured from the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base, and a cylindrical ball separation preventing wall plate made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disk base is erected.

Place an appropriate number of steel balls on the lower rolling plate, and further contact the load-loading rolling surface of the upper rolling disk base on the rigid sphere to roll the lower end height of the ball separation prevention wall plate body downward. The height is set at a predetermined distance from the upper surface of the plate.

Align the bottom surface line of the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate with the predetermined height position of the entire outer peripheral edge in the upward direction of the thickness of the upper rolling disk base that is above the load-bearing rolling surface line. An annular non-spherical space ceiling plate of the same width as that of the upper rolling disk base and the same rigid material is disposed horizontally so as to abut against the inner wall surface of the ball separation preventing wall plate body. A ball-free load retaining and moving space is formed between the lower surface of the support space ceiling plate and the upper surface of the lower rolling plate.

The upper surface height of the upper surface of the ball non-supporting space ceiling plate and the ball separation prevention wall plate body is aligned with the upper surface height of the upper rolling disk base, and an appropriately shaped mounting plate is disposed on the entire outer edge side of the ball separation prevention wall plate body. To do.

And placed along the inner edge of all the outer peripheral edge of the load-bearing rolling surface, the number of spheres diverting cylinder made above the rolling disc table and DoTsuyoshi material appropriately, the spheres diversion cylindrical lower height, spheres withdrawal prevention wall plate member It is arranged at equal intervals with the same height as the lower end height.

Furthermore, an appropriate number of ball insertion holes with stoppers are opened at appropriate positions on the ceiling plate of the non-ballistic space ceiling plate, and an appropriate number of steel balls are placed in the unloaded and stopped space. Insert.

A steel ball seismic isolation device in which an upper rolling disc base, a ball non-supporting space ceiling plate, a ball separation preventing wall plate body , a mounting plate and a ball course changing column are fixed and integrated as appropriate. It is the composition.

The appropriate rigid material of the upper rolling disc table, magnetic, steel regardless of nonmagnetic, cast iron, stainless steel, aluminum material, synthetic resin material, etc. is used, the other into a plurality of steel balls to be MenShinbutsu Any rigid material can be used as long as it is capable of supporting the load and resisting rolling isolation.

The predetermined diameter of the load-bearing rolling surface is such that an appropriate number of steel balls that are more than the minimum required for rolling isolation by supporting the seismic isolation load by a plurality of steel ball seismic isolation devices It is a diameter that exists on a flat surface and is capable of rolling isolation. Further, the predetermined thickness is a thickness that can share and support the seismic isolation load to be borne.

The predetermined space width secured between the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base and the cylindrical ball separation preventing wall plate body is between the inner wall surface of the ball separation preventing wall plate body and the entire outer peripheral edge of the upper rolling disk base. The space width is such that an appropriate number of steel balls to be used can easily reciprocate and move.

The steel ball can be made of the same rigid material as the upper rolling disc base, and the diameter of the steel ball is used as appropriate, but it is selected based on the load of the seismic isolation object to be borne.

The lower end height of the sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate member and the bottom rolling plate upper surface height using a predetermined interval, the predetermined interval, the steel ball used is, normal time and Utatedomen brass to a sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate This is the interval at which overcommutation cannot be lost outside the body .

The predetermined height position of the entire outer peripheral edge in the upward direction of the thickness of the upper rolling disk base that is above the load-bearing rolling contact surface line means that there is no ball from above the lower rolling plate under the load-loading rolling contact surface. The steel ball that has been rolled into the load retaining and moving space has an appropriate height that cannot be retained in a hexagonal manner from the lower rolling plate in the ball no load retaining and moving space. The height is such that a steel ball can exist only in a single flat surface in the ball no-load stationary and moving space. Furthermore, it is the height which has the height of the margin which many steel balls can move to 1 step | paragraph shape easily, without becoming piled up.

Note that the lower surface line of the sphere unsupported space ceiling plate, the then disposed horizontally to abut against the inner wall surface of the sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate member, the range horizontal shape, and the positive horizontal, spherical withdrawal prevention wall A slight inclination angle in the direction of the entire outer peripheral edge of the plate body or the upper rolling disk base is also included, and an appropriate slight inclination angle can be used for the lower surface line of the sphere non-supporting space ceiling board.

As a means for fixing the upper rolling disk base, the non-ball-supporting space ceiling plate, the ball separation preventing wall plate body , the mounting plate, and the ball path changing column to each other appropriately, welding, screwing, or casting It can be molded using a mold or the like. Any means can be used as long as it can be firmly fixed integrally.

A second solution means for achieving the object of the present invention is to provide an appropriate ball-rolling-off prevention mechanism having a predetermined height on the outer wall surface of the ball separation preventing wall plate so as to be freely mounted on the lower rolling plate. A predetermined upper end height is used as the upper end height of the ball separation preventing wall plate .

Made on the rolling disk base and the spherical unsupported spaces plurality of upper rolling disc table and DoTsuyoshi material appropriate shape at an appropriate position on the upper surface side of the ceiling plate, Himen Shinbutsu the load bearing pillars, the upper end height spheres It arrange | positions so that it may align with the upper end height of the separation prevention wall board .

A mounting plate having an appropriate shape and a predetermined width is disposed on the entire outer edge side of the upper end of the ball separation preventing wall plate .

The lower end of the seismic isolation load support pillar is integrated with the upper rolling disc base upper surface, the inner end side of the mounting plate is fixed to the upper outer edge side of the ball separation prevention wall plate body , and each unit is appropriately fixed. It is the structure of the steel ball seismic isolation device of the first solution.

The predetermined height of the ball- rolling loss prevention mechanism is the ball-rolling loss prevention mechanism that is placed on the lower rolling plate when the steel ball seismic isolation device floats above the lower rolling plate due to earthquake motion. However, it is the height which can prevent a steel ball from over-commutating outside from the lower end of a ball | bowl separation prevention wall board.

The ball ball seismic isolation device rolls down by setting the height of the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism to the value obtained by adding the diameter value of the steel ball used as a minimum to the lower end value of the wall separation prevention wall plate body. when a state of up float from the plate, ball rolling erosion prevention mechanism minimal, that the steel ball is over-rolling runoff into spheres withdrawal prevention wall plate body outside can be prevented.

Sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate having a predetermined upper height, steel ball is over-rolling runoff outside the sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate body, impossible rolling seismic isolation and become ball withdrawal prevention wall plate body and sphere and diverting cylinder slipping This is the height at which the ball rolling loss prevention mechanism added with the diameter value of the steel ball used as a minimum can easily fit between the lower surface of the mounting plate and the lower rolling plate.

The predetermined width of the mounting plate is a width that can accommodate the lateral width of the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism provided on the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing wall plate body .

When the ball separation prevention wall plate floats up, the ball commutation loss prevention mechanism is on the lower rolling plate and can prevent the steel ball from over-commutating outside the lower end. In addition, a ball commutation prevention mechanism having a configuration as described above can be used.

A third solution to achieve the object of the present invention is that an appropriate ball commutation prevention mechanism surrounds the entire circumference of the outer wall surface of the ball separation prevention wall plate body , and is freely mounted on the lower rolling plate. It is the structure of the steel ball seismic isolation apparatus of the 2nd solution means which consists of the cylindrical cyclic | annular plate-shaped material of the appropriate thickness which consists of the mounted rigid material.

The steel ball seismic isolation device of the first to third solutions has a structure in which a large number of relatively small steel balls are subjected to rolling isolation under a load-bearing rolling surface into a single flat surface. It is a compact device with a low seating height, is lightweight and easy to handle, and can be installed easily.

Since a large number of steel balls are rolling-isolated under a load-bearing rolling surface into a single flat surface, the seismic isolation object is supported at multiple points, and the lower rolling plate receives loads distributed at multiple points. To support it, it does not support local points, does not require a strong dedicated lower rolling plate, and uses a flat concrete floor surface made of ordinary rigid smooth surface, artificial stone floor surface, etc. as the lower rolling plate Furthermore, when supporting a light load seismic isolation object, a floor surface made of structural plywood or the like, or other flat wood floor surface can be used as a lower rolling plate.

Area of the foundation plate of HimenShinbutsu is, if a small object seismic isolation material falling within the area of the mounting plate one plate of steel balls seismic isolation bearing device, using only a single panel of steel balls seismic isolation bearing device This is a complete steel ball seismic isolation device that is capable of rolling isolation, and in the case of a large area seismic isolation object , one board is required for each appropriate load support location. Can be inserted and used,

Sphere non-supporting space The ceiling board lower surface line height is set to the following appropriate height that the steel ball that moves into the sphere unloaded stationary / moving space cannot be retained in a hexagonal filling manner. No steel balls pile up inside, many steel balls can move easily in a single flat without stagnation, and hard balls move smoothly under the load-bearing rolling surface. The steel ball can be subjected to rolling isolation without hindrance even in the case of a large linear displacement, as well as in the case of a large mixed displacement, and a larger displacement can be allowed.

The ball trajectory change cylinder functions as a sliding bearing and also has a ball trajectory change function.At the time of rolling isolation, a large number of steel balls are aligned according to the displacement direction of the lower rolling plate and are It is easy to stagnate because it moves into the load stop and moving space, and some steel balls can be turbulent in straight travel by the ball course changing cylinder , so the course can be changed and stagnation can be prevented. .

A ball ball change prevention cylinder with the same height as the lower end height is placed under the load-loading rolling surface with an appropriate number of equal intervals at equal intervals so that the steel ball can be prevented from coming off due to earthquake motion. even if the rolling seismic isolation and a has fallen impossible to Katen washed away out of the plate body, the lower end side of both the spherical withdrawal prevention wall plate body and sphere diverting cylinder sliding under Utatedoban 1 top, sliding bearings function And can maintain the minimum seismic isolation function.

Steel ball isolation bearings that do not have the function of magnetic adhesion of steel balls by opening the appropriate number of ball insertion holes with stoppers through the top and bottom surfaces at appropriate positions on the ceiling plate of the non-supporting space. It is possible to facilitate the insertion of the steel ball into the ball no-load retention / movement space in the apparatus .

By using a stainless steel ball, a synthetic resin ball, or the like as the hard ball , the steel ball can be used outdoors or in a place where seawater or fresh water is used, and the economics of widening the use range of the apparatus can be obtained.

The outer wall surface of the sphere withdrawal prevention wall plate member, by providing an appropriate ball rolling erosion prevention mechanism, the steel ball steel ball seismic isolation bearing devices without a magnetically attached function of steel balls, the balls release preventing wall plate member It is possible to prevent excessive commutation to the outside of the magnet, and no need for a permanent magnet and a stainless steel upper rolling disk base, and further no need for a magnet chamber, resulting in the economy of downsizing the apparatus.

Since a permanent magnet is not used, it can be used for an apparatus that refuses the entry of external magnetism, and an economic effect that the range of use of the device is widened can be obtained.

Above the rolling disc table, the material used for as long as rigid materials used without restriction, in order to further thickness may be used without restriction, it is possible to support the object to be MenShinbutsu load heavier loads, small steel balls Base It becomes a seismic bearing device .

If necessary, the separation preventing wall plate is used. Screws can be loosely attached to the outer peripheral side of the body 33 so as to be free.

The ball commutation loss prevention mechanism 40 is not limited to the cylindrical annular plate member 40a. When the ball separation prevention wall plate 33 is lifted, the ball commutation prevention mechanism 40 is on the lower rolling plate 1 and the steel ball 34 is outside the lower end. If it is possible to prevent overcommutation, a spherical commutation prevention mechanism 40 made of an appropriate shape and material can be used.

Hereinafter, as another embodiment, a case where a cylindrical annular compression coil spring 40b as an appropriate ball commutation loss prevention mechanism 40 is used will be described with reference to FIGS.

The cylindrical annular compression coil spring 40b is formed by using a material that can be processed into a compression coil spring, such as a steel material, a synthetic resin material, or a stainless material, on a round wire, a square wire, a thin plate, or the like.

On the outer wall surface side of the ball separation preventing wall plate body 33, a compression coil spring 40b is freely mounted on the lower rolling plate 1 and arranged.

Compression force of the compression coil spring member 40b is sometimes states steel ball seismic isolation bearing device K has climbed floated from the lower rolling plate, extension so that the steel ball 34 is not Katen flow out to the outside of the steel ball seismic isolation bearing device K It needs a line thickness that can provide a compressive force that can be prevented.

Note that the compression force is not applied to the coil of the compression coil spring 40b, and the height of the coil is set to the cylindrical annular plate-like material 4.
The same height as 0a can be used similarly.

The present invention is not limited to the above, and other configurations can be used as long as they do not depart from the gist of the present invention.
