The invention provides a grading transmission type energy-consuming damper. The invention belongs to the field of vibration control of building structures. A built-in foamed aluminum extrusion energy-consuming plate is arranged in the middle of the grading transmission type energy-consuming damper, two sides of the middle of the foamed aluminum extrusion energy-consuming plate are symmetrically provided with extrusion energy-consuming rubber plates, the left and right sides of each extrusion energy-consuming rubber plate are symmetrically provided with tension energy-consuming steel plates, and a connecting plate is arranged on the side of each tension energy-consuming steel plate away from the corresponding extrusion energy-consuming rubber plate. The grading energy consumption and transmission type multiple energy consumption effects can be achieved during tension. The grading transmission type energy-consuming damper has large initial rigidity, large yielding area of steel, and goodenergy consumption effect, a reserved gap is rotated to make the damper have a certain rotational energy consumption effect, an energy-consuming rib and a built-in elliptical hole make the energy consumption of the damper more sufficient, a lead pin has a good energy consumption effect and is easy to replace, the damping and energy consumption effects and the energy consumption magnification canbe adjusted according to the actual situation of a building structure, and the seismic response of the building structure can be reduced.
