  • Patent number: 10988952
    Abstract: A buckling-restrained brace includes a telescopic inner restrained member, an outer restrained member sleeved outside the inner restrained member and the L-shaped energy dissipation element between the inner restrained member and the outer restrained member; the inner restrained member includes a first steel square tube and a second steel square tube which are connected by insertion; the L-shaped energy dissipation element includes four L-shaped fuses, and two ends of the four L-shaped fuses are connected to the four right-angle sides of the first steel square tube and the second steel square tube by bolts, respectively; and the inner section of the outer restrained member is square, the outer restrained member covers the L-shaped energy dissipation element, and a certain gap is disposed between the outer restrained member and the L-shaped energy dissipation element. The buckling-restrained brace is simple to disassemble and replace, and the buckling-restrained members are convenient to reuse.

  • Patent number: 10598419
    Abstract: Seawater fluidized ice manufacturing equipment is disclosed, comprising a compressor; a condenser, connected with the compressor, the condenser being internally provided with a condensing agent; a heat exchanger, connected with the condenser, the heat exchanger being provided with a hydrophobic material coating; and an ultrasonic generator, connected with the heat exchanger. A seawater fluidized ice manufacturing method is also disclosed, comprising the following steps: compressing low-temperature and low-pressure condensing agent vapor in an ice making barrel into high-temperature and high-pressure condensing agent vapor by the compressor; driving the seawater to enter the ice making barrel and the liquefied condensing agent into a cooling pipe, condensing the seawater into fluidized ice, wherein when the seawater is condensed in the ice making barrel, the ultrasonic generator generates ultrasonic waves to drive the seawater to crystallize into fluidized ice.
