Abstract

Provided is a base isolation floor structure containing a base isolation frame containing plural frames, and plural base isolation bearings that support the base isolation frame, in which the base isolation bearing contains a base isolation structure that has plural rolling member and is disposed horizontally movably freely on a floor surface, a connecting member that is disposed above the base isolation structure and is connected to the base isolation frame, an elastic plate member that is disposed between the connecting member and the base isolation structure, and a rod member having one end thereof that extends downward and is fixed to the base isolation structure, and the other end thereof that extends upward and is inserted with an allowance into a through hole formed in the connecting member.

Claims (34)

1. A base isolation floor structure comprising:

a base isolation frame containing a plurality of frames; and a plurality of base isolation bearings that support the base isolation frame,

each of the base isolation bearings comprising:

a base isolation structure that has a plurality of rolling members and is disposed horizontally movably freely on a floor surface;

a connecting member that is disposed above the base isolation structure and is connected to the base isolation frame;

an elastic plate member that is disposed between the connecting member and the base isolation structure; and

a rod member having a lower end that is fixed to the base isolation structure, an intermediate portion inserted loosely with an allowance into a through hole formed in the connecting member, and an upper end that protrudes upward from the through hole in the connecting member so that the rod member does not fix the connecting member.

2. The base isolation floor structure according to claim 1 , which further comprises a coil spring that is disposed between the connecting member and the base isolation structure.

3. A base isolation floor structure comprising:

a base isolation frame containing a plurality of frames; and a plurality of base isolation bearings that support the base isolation frame,

each of the base isolation bearings comprising:

a base isolation structure that has a plurality of rolling members and is disposed horizontally movably freely on a floor surface;

a connecting member that is disposed above the base isolation structure and is connected to the base isolation frame;

a coil spring that is disposed between the connecting member and the base isolation structure; and

a rod member having a lower end that extends downward and is fixed to the base isolation structure, an intermediate portion inserted loosely with an allowance into a through hole formed in the connecting member, and an upper end that protrudes upward from the through hole in the connecting member so that the rod member does not fix the connecting member.

4. A base isolation floor structure comprising:

a base isolation frame containing a plurality of frames; and

a plurality of base isolation bearings that support the base isolation frame,

each of the base isolation bearings comprising:

a base isolation structure that has a plurality of rolling members and is disposed horizontally movably freely on a floor surface;

a connecting member that is disposed above the base isolation structure and is connected to the base isolation frame, said connecting member having a flat plate portion with an upper surface and a lower surface;

an elastic plate member that is disposed between the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the base isolation structure; and

a rod member having a lower end that is fixed to the base isolation structure, an intermediate portion inserted loosely with an allowance into a though hole formed in the flat plate portion of the connecting member and a through hole formed in the elastic plate member, and an upper end that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member,

wherein a vertical distance between the lower surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the base isolation structure changes corresponding to a change in a vertical distance between the lower surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the floor surface so that the rolling members of the base isolation structure are made in contact with the floor surface.

5. The base isolation floor structure according to claim 4 , further comprising a coil spring that is disposed inside of the through hole formed in the elastic plate member, and

wherein the intermediate portion of the rod member is inserted loosely with an allowance into the though hole of the flat plate portion of the connecting member, the interior of the coil spring and the though hole of the elastic plate member.

6. A base isolation floor structure comprising:

a base isolation frame containing a plurality of frames; and a plurality of base isolation bearings that support the base isolation frame,

each of the base isolation bearings comprising:

a base isolation structure that has a plurality of rolling members and is disposed horizontally movably freely on a floor surface;

a connecting member that is disposed above the base isolation structure and is connected to the base isolation frame, said connecting member having a flat plate portion with an upper surface and a lower surface;

a coil spring disposed between the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the base isolation structure; and

a rod member having a lower end that is fixed to the base isolation structure, an intermediate portion inserted loosely with an allowance into though hole formed in the flat plate portion of the connecting member and interior of the coil spring, and an upper end that protrudes upward from the upper surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member,

wherein a vertical distance between the lower surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the base isolation structure changes corresponding to a change in a vertical distance between the lower surface of the flat plate portion of the connecting member and the floor surface so that the rolling members of the base isolation structure are made in contact with the floor surface.
