Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a seismic isolation device of a perimeter restraint type which mounts and supports a structure to reduce seismic input and to prevent vibration, and more specifically, restrains the outer periphery of a columnar rubber-like body. The present invention relates to a seismic isolation device of a perimeter restraint type, which is surrounded by a wire rod so as to provide a large rigidity in a vertical direction while having a large deformation capacity in a horizontal direction, and to provide a large rigidity in a vertical direction.

[0002]

As a seismic isolation device for structures such as buildings,
Laminated rubber bearings have begun to be widely used, and they are roughly classified into three types. In the first type, as shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b), a laminated rubber bearing (a) is formed by alternately laminating and fixing a rubber plate (1) made of natural rubber or the like and having a small compression set and a steel plate (2). ). In this type, the ratio of the vertical compression stiffness to the horizontal shear stiffness is extremely large, so that a structure that is heavy against earthquake motion is stably supported, and the transmission of seismic energy to the structure is reduced.

[0003] The second type has a laminated structure of the first type of laminated rubber bearing, and has an effect of absorbing vibration energy. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. This is a lead-laminated rubber bearing (b) in which a lead plug (3) is inserted.
issue〕. In this type, as shown in FIG. 8, the amplitude of vibration of a structure caused by an earthquake is reduced and rapidly attenuated by hysteresis due to plastic strain of lead encapsulated therein.

The third type is shown in FIGS. 6 (a) and 6 (b).
In the structure of the laminated rubber bearing (a) shown in (1), a high-damping laminated rubber bearing (c) having a laminated body itself provided with a damping function by using a high-damping rubber for the rubber plate (1).

[0005]

The laminated rubber bearings (a), (b) and (c) have the following problems, respectively.

The first type of laminated rubber bearing (a) has a very small vibration damping ability, so that if it is used as it is, the vibration amplitude of the structure at the time of an earthquake becomes large and lacks safety. Therefore, usually, dampers are separately arranged and used in parallel. In this case, the point of action of the restoring force and the point of action of the damping force are different, and there is a possibility that unnecessary torsional vibration may be applied to the structure.

In the second type of lead-laminated rubber bearing (b), the lead plug (3) has a large initial rigidity against microvibration as shown by the characteristic (S) in FIG. As a result, the vehicle has poor anti-vibration performance and transmits traffic vibrations and the like generated by the passage of vehicles. Therefore, it has been difficult to apply it to buildings and floors in which equipment that dislikes vibration is installed. In addition, there was also a problem that recovery to the origin after large deformation was slow due to plasticity of lead.

In the third type of high damping laminated rubber bearing (c), the high damping rubber used has a large amount of creep, and the restoring force for horizontal displacement is poor, so that the reliability is low especially for long-term use. There is. Also, since the amount of creep differs for each high-damping laminated rubber bearing that is installed side by side, as a result of seismic isolation operation, the building will experience uneven settlement,
There is also a problem that unnecessary stress is generated in the structure.

The present invention relates to the above laminated rubber bearing (a).
(B) Based on the actual circumstances of (c), the present invention is based on a fundamentally different structure / principle, and aims to propose a seismic isolation device in which the above problems are solved.

[0010]

DISCLOSURE OF THE INVENTION The present invention newly proposes a seismic isolation device of a perimeter restraint type, in which a columnar rubber-like body is arranged at a lower portion of a structure so as to support a vertical load thereof, It is characterized in that the outer periphery of the rubber-like body is provided with a restraining wire that is wound continuously or intermittently in the height direction in a laminated shape and restrains the protrusion of the rubber-like body to the outside. To do.

In the above seismic isolation device, the columnar rubber-like body is restrained by the surrounding restraining wire, thereby exhibiting high vertical rigidity and load supporting ability while having a large horizontal deformability. . Then, the restraining wire and / or the rubber-like body exerts a vibration energy absorbing effect mainly by frictional damping. This vibration absorbing effect is also effective for fine vibration.

Due to its structure, the constrained wire rods that are laminated do not substantially support a vertical load, and exclusively restrain the protrusion of the columnar rubber-like body.

Further, in the structure of the device according to the present invention, the point of action of the restoring force and the point of action of the damping force are the same, and unnecessary torsional vibration is not applied to the structure.

From the above, the device of the present invention is a conventional laminated rubber bearing (a) as a damper integrated seismic isolation device.
(B) Demonstrates the same or better performance as (c).

Since the columnar rubber-like body is used alone, it is possible to use a rubber of a type that could not be used in the case of a laminated structure as the rubber-like body.

[0016]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION A seismic isolation apparatus A, which is a first embodiment shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, extends around a columnar rubber-like body (11) to the outside of the rubber-like body (11). The constraining wire (12) for constraining the protrusion is wound and arranged in a laminated form.

Here, a PC steel wire is used as the restraining wire (12).
Wire cords or the like are used, and as shown in FIG. 3, which is a partially enlarged view of the periphery of the rubber-like body (11), the restraining wires (12) are arranged in a stacked manner in the height direction and in parallel in the horizontal direction. Is done. FIG. 4 shows how the restraint wire (12) is assembled. The rigidity and damping performance of the seismic isolation device A are improved by making each restraint wire (12) spiral and continuously in the height direction. The seismic isolation device A can be arbitrarily adjusted, and if necessary, the seismic isolation device A can be integrated with the damper.

The outer peripheral portion of the restraining wire (12) is covered and protected by an elastic body (13) such as natural rubber or synthetic rubber having a small compression set, as required, as shown in FIG. The elastic body (13) is integrated with the restraining wire (12) by vulcanization bonding or the like.

FIG. 5 shows a second embodiment of the present invention, in which a group of restraining wires (12) and elastic bodies (13) are alternately arranged in a vertical direction around a rubber-like body (11) to form a layer. It shows an example in the case of forming.

When using the seismic isolation device A having the above configuration, as shown in FIG. 1, the upper and lower surfaces of the rubber-like body (11) are fixed to the upper structure and the lower structure, respectively. The use plates (14) and (14) are joined.

In the above-mentioned embodiment, since the rubber-like body is used as a single body and the laminated constraining wire (12) is arranged around the rubber-like body as described above, the effects listed below can be obtained. .

Since the structure is simple, it is easy to manufacture.
Therefore, cost reduction is realized.

During the seismic isolation operation, the upper and lower restraining wires (12) rub against each other to absorb vibration energy, so that a damping effect can be obtained. It becomes a body-shaped seismic isolation device.

Also, a high damping rubber can be used to give a damping effect to the rubber-like body itself. In addition, restraint wires (1
The rigidity and damping performance of the device can be arbitrarily adjusted by the lamination state of 2). These also make it possible to design a seismic isolation device integrated with a damper within a wide range of characteristics.

The rubber-like body (11) has high durability and fire resistance because the outer periphery is protected by a restraining wire and the upper and lower sides are protected by steel plates or the like.

Since the amount of steel used is small, the apparatus is light in weight and easy to transport.

In the present invention, since the vibration energy is absorbed by the friction of the restraining wire (12), any kind of rubber body at the center may be used.
The rubbery body at the center is preferably of high attenuation.

[0028]

According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a seismic isolation device having a large vertical loading capacity that can replace the conventional laminated rubber bearing by using a rubber-like body which is not laminated.

In particular, the seismic isolation device of the present invention does not use a material having a large initial rigidity such as lead in order to obtain a damping function. It is possible to arbitrarily design characteristics in a wide range. Therefore, in addition to seismic isolation and vibration isolation of buildings, it is also suitable for seismic isolation and isolation of floors in buildings, and seismic isolation and isolation of power transmission equipment and general equipment.
