A lower bracket 17 that engages with the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17, and an energy absorber 19 interposed between the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 so as to absorb relative swinging energy.

  The connector 15 engages the first engagement plate portion 24 of the upper bracket 16 with the curved second engagement plate portion 31 of the lower bracket 17 from above, and the lower surface (swinging) of the second engagement plate portion 31. The upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 can swing relative to each other along the movement guide surface 18), and the energy absorber 19 disposed between the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 is bent around the swing guide surface 18, The relative swinging energy of the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 can be absorbed.

  The upper bracket 16 is formed by integrally joining a plurality of steel materials by welding or fasteners. The upper bracket 16 is disposed substantially horizontally so as to penetrate the anchor bolt 13 and is fixed to the anchor bolt 13 by a nut 13a, and a pair of uprights extending downward from both sides of the upper end plate 21 in the horizontal direction. It has the board part 23, the lower cylindrical part 23a connected below the pair of standing board parts 23, and the said 1st engaging board part 24 arrange | positioned substantially horizontally at the lower end of the lower cylindrical part 23a. Hereinafter, the direction across the pair of upright plate portions 23 may be referred to as the longitudinal direction of the upper bracket 16.

  Referring also to FIG. 5, the first engagement plate portion 24 of the upper bracket 16 is formed in a circular shape coaxial with the bolt body 14 in a plan view of the connector 15 (corresponding to the axial view of the suspension bolt 5). The A circular hole 24 a having a diameter larger than that of the reinforcing pipe 14 a of the lower bracket 17 is formed in the center of the first engagement plate portion 24. The upper end plate portion 21 of the upper bracket 16 has a shape in which both sides in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction are cut out along the longitudinal direction with respect to a disc having substantially the same diameter as the first engagement plate portion 24. The pair of upright plate portions 23 have a shape in which both sides in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction are cut away from a cylinder that is coaxial with the bolt main body 14 and smaller in diameter than the first engagement plate portion 24. The lower cylindrical portion 23a is formed in a cylindrical shape having substantially the same diameter as the pair of standing plate portions 23. A cylindrical energy absorber 19 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the lower cylindrical portion 23a by adhesion or the like.

  The lower bracket 17 is disposed on the first engagement plate portion 24 of the upper bracket 16 and on the inner peripheral side of the lower cylindrical portion 23a. The lower bracket 17 extends upward through the cup-shaped second engagement plate portion 31 that is convex downward (on the first engagement plate portion 24 side) and the central portion of the second engagement plate portion 31. It has a cylindrical inner guide wall portion 34 that protrudes and a cylindrical outer guide wall portion 33 that rises upward from the outer peripheral portion of the second engagement plate portion 31. The swing guide surface 18, which is the lower surface of the second engagement plate portion 31, is slidably contacted with the peripheral edge of the circular hole 24 a of the first engagement plate portion 24 from above and receives the vertical load of the suspension equipment 7. In this state, the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 are allowed to swing relative to each other.

  The lower bracket 17 has a reinforcing pipe 14a that is inserted through the bolt body 14 so as to be movable up and down. The reinforcing pipe 14a is made of a steel pipe and extends from the lower bracket 17 to the vicinity of the lower end portion of the bolt body 14. The reinforcement pipe 14a reinforces the bending of the long bolt body 14. The upper end portion of the reinforcing pipe 14a is fixed to the lower bracket 17 by being screwed into the inner guide wall portion 34, for example. A nut 27 and a bolt kinetic energy absorber 28 are locked to the upper end of the inner guide wall 34.

  The energy absorber 19 is made of an elastic body such as an elastomer, and is disposed along the inner peripheral surface of the lower cylindrical portion 23a. The outer peripheral surface of the outer guide wall 33 of the lower bracket 17 is close to the inner peripheral surface of the energy absorber 19. The energy absorber 19 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the lower cylindrical portion 23 a and the outer guide wall portion 33, and appropriately bends when the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 are swung relative to each other. The energy absorber 19 of the present embodiment is positioned so as not to receive the vertical load of the hanging equipment 7 by being positioned on the outer peripheral side of the lower bracket 17.

  As shown in FIG. 6, when the suspension equipment 7 vibrates due to an earthquake or the like, the horizontal movement thereof is transmitted along the swing guide surface 18 of the bolt body 14 and the lower bracket 17 to the connector 15. The At this time, the energy absorber 19 repeatedly compresses and restores between the lower cylindrical portion 23 a of the upper bracket 16 and the outer guide wall portion 33 of the lower bracket 17, thereby allowing the lower bracket 17 to swing with respect to the upper bracket 16. At the same time, a part of the vibration energy of the suspension equipment 7 is absorbed. Thereby, the vibration of the suspension equipment 7 is reduced and the transmission of the vibration to the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5 is suppressed.

  The outer guide wall 33 of the lower bracket 17 is fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the energy absorber 19 by bonding or the like, and the energy absorber 19 is subjected to shear deformation between the outer guide wall 33 and the lower cylindrical portion 23a. Thus, vibration energy may be absorbed. Further, the energy absorber 19 may be eliminated, and a friction damper by frictional contact between the outer guide wall portion 33 and the lower cylindrical portion 23a may be configured.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the upper end portion of the bolt body 14 includes a nut 27 screwed over the inner guide wall portion 34 of the lower bracket 17, and upper ends of the nut 27 and the inner guide wall portion 34. The upper end of the inner guide wall 34 is locked by the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 sandwiched between the upper and lower washers. The bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 is made of an elastic body such as an elastomer, and has a cylindrical shape that has an outer diameter corresponding to a washer of the nut 27 and is inserted through the bolt body 14.

  As shown in FIG. 7, the upper end portion of the bolt main body 14 is movable upward with respect to the lower bracket 17, and can be moved downward and inclined by the amount of bending of the bolt kinetic energy absorber 28. .

  Thereby, the vibration of the suspension equipment 7 is directly transmitted to the bolt main body 14, but the transmission of the vibration to the lower bracket 17 is suppressed by the bending of the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28. Although the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 receives the load of the suspension equipment 7, the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 is compressed rather than pulled between the bolt main body 14 and the lower bracket 17, so there is no risk of cutting and high reliability.

  Further, when vibration of the suspension equipment 7 is transmitted to the lower bracket 17, the lower bracket 17 swings with respect to the upper bracket 16, and this energy is absorbed by the bending of the energy absorber 19 as described above.

  Due to the deformation and restoration of these energy absorbers 19 and 28, the vibration energy of the suspension equipment 7 is attenuated and absorbed, the vibration is easily converged, the stress concentration at the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5 is alleviated and fatigued. Is suppressed.

As described above, the vibration suppression suspension structure 1 according to the above-described embodiment is provided with the coupler 15 that combines the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 at the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5 on the ceiling slab 2 side. The second engagement plate portion 31 of the lower bracket 17 is engaged with the one engagement plate portion 24 from above, so that the upper and lower brackets 16 and 17 can swing relative to each other along the swing guide surface 18 of the second engagement plate portion 31. In addition, the relatively swinging lower bracket 17 is interposed between the lower cylindrical portion 23a that rises outside the first engagement plate portion 24 in the upper bracket 16 and the outer guide wall portion 33 of the lower bracket 17 that is positioned inside the lower cylindrical portion 23a. When the suspension equipment 7 vibrates due to an earthquake or the like by interposing the energy absorber 19 that abuts and causes bending, the lower brace with respect to the upper bracket 16 at the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5. Movement of Tsu bets 17 is a swing along the swing guide surface 18, and that the swing is damped by flexing of the energy absorber 19 can absorb some of the vibrational energy of the suspended equipment 7. That is, the bending moment acting on the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5 is reduced to reduce the deformation of the base end portion of the suspension bolt 5, and the vibration energy of the suspension equipment 7 can be absorbed to reduce the vibration.
Moreover, compared with the case where a brace is provided between the plurality of suspension bolts 5, even when the suspension equipment 7 is arranged across the beam, the degree of installation freedom is high, and vibration measures can be easily implemented.

  Further, a bolt kinetic energy absorber 28 is interposed between a portion of the lower bracket 17 through which the upper end portion of the bolt body 14 passes and a nut 27 screwed to the upper end portion of the bolt body 14. The vibration energy of the suspension equipment 7 can also be absorbed by the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 while allowing the relative movement of the bolt main body 14 with respect to 17 by the bending of the bolt dynamic energy absorber 28 or the like.
