Tilt support structure
A tilt support structure is disclosed. The structure comprises a force exerted unit and a restriction unit, characterized in that the cross section of the end portion of the force exerted unit is larger than that of the middle section and the force exerted unit is mounted into the restriction unit, the restriction unit includes a single or a plurality of sleeves and in combination with concrete, cement slurry or enhanced steel beam or steel plate to form an external frame to restrict the main force exerted unit so as to prevent damage as a result of compression and the structure is stable under compression or pulling.
(a) Technical Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a tilt support structure which can withstand pure axial force and which will eliminate vibration or earthquake force.
(b) Description of the Prior Art
The tilt support structure will bend when a force is exerted. Before the material has exhibited the capacity to eliminate energy, the excessive stress and strain will cause the tilt support structure to break. Accordingly, it is an objective to improve the strength of the tilt support structure.
The restriction tilt support includes the main force exerted unit and a restriction unit. The restriction unit provides support at the side of the main force exerted unit so as to allow the curvature of the main force exerted unit.
The interior of the conventional restriction unit has filled with slurry and steel tube restriction. However, the connection is either rigid or semi-rigid connection. This will cause a bending to the tilt support or cause secondary bending effect. Under abrupt lowering of the strength of the tilt support, the structure is damaged.
Accordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tilt support structure which mitigate the above drawbacks.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTIONAccordingly, it is an object of the present invention to provide a tilt support structure comprising a force exerted unit and a restriction unit, characterized in that the cross section of the end portion of the force exerted unit is larger than that of the middle section and the force exerted unit is mounted into the restriction unit, the restriction unit includes a single or a plurality of sleeves and in combination with concrete, cement slurry or enhanced steel beam or steel plate to form an external frame to restrict the main force exerted unit so as to prevent damage as a result of compression and the structure is stable under compression or pulling.
Yet still another object of the present invention is to provide a tilt support structure, wherein the pivotal hole is exerted by the pure axial force, and the ability to eliminate energy is increased so that the vibration force is decreased and the force due to earthquake is reduced.
The foregoing object and summary provide only a brief introduction to the present invention. To fully appreciate these and other objects of the present invention as well as the invention itself, all of which will become apparent to those skilled in the art, the following detailed description of the invention and the claims should be read in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Throughout the specification and drawings identical reference numerals refer to identical or similar parts.
Many other advantages and features of the present invention will become manifest to those versed in the art upon making reference to the detailed description and the accompanying sheets of drawings in which a preferred structural embodiment incorporating the principles of the present invention is shown by way of illustrative example.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
The following descriptions are of exemplary embodiments only, and are not intended to limit the scope, applicability or configuration of the invention in any way. Rather, the following description provides a convenient illustration for implementing exemplary embodiments of the invention. Various changes to the described embodiments may be made in the function and arrangement of the elements described without departing from the scope of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 1 to 10, the slanting support structure comprises a force exerted unit 1, a restriction unit 2, and the end portions of the two lateral sides of the restriction unit are provided with a pivotal hole 31 and a rotatable three directional bearing 32. The connection of the bearing 32 and the pivotal hole 31 allows the connection between a beam and the slanting support structure to eliminate the impact of the bending distance. This will therefore form into a pure axial force slanting support, and prevent the damage caused by the abrupt lowering of the strength of the tilt support.
As shown in
This will avoid the bending of the restriction collars 211, 212 by the main force exerted component and will improve the pressure resistance and shock resistance of the entire tilt support structure.
Due to the fact that the end plate 4 is secured at the lateral side, the restriction unit 2 and the main force exerted unit can be selected based on the need of the strength and the material.
The advantages of the tilt structure of the present invention include:
-
- The structure is reliable.
- The interior of the restriction unit is formed as a unit, the interface treatment processes are saved and the quality of the product is high.
- Light weight, the interior of the structure can be checked regularly.
- The end portion connection is simple, and the number of screws on the steel plates are minimized.
- No exposed component and the external of the structure has an aesthetically pleasing appearance.
It will be understood that each of the elements described above, or two or more together may also find a useful application in other types of methods differing from the type described above.
While certain novel features of this invention have been shown and described and are pointed out in the annexed claim, it is not intended to be limited to the details above, since it will be understood that various omissions, modifications, substitutions and changes in the forms and details of the device illustrated and in its operation can be made by those skilled in the art without departing in any way from the spirit of the present invention.
