Abstract
The present invention relates to the technical field of construction engineering, and specifically to configurations and close-fitting joints for a second-order scissor damper and an assembly method for the same. There six parts in total, including first hinge joints, a first-order shuttle-shaped linkage mechanical component, second hinge joints, a second-order shuttle-shaped linkage mechanical component, third hinge joints, and a viscous damper; the second-order shuttle-shaped linkage mechanical component includes four small connecting rods of equal length and it is formed by hinging them together. The device of the present invention can constrain the joints, release the bending constraints on the ends of the rods, and enable a significant increase in the stroke amplification of the conventional scissor damper.
