The invention provides a
pendulum type variable damping device and a vibration reduction configuration method thereof. The device comprises a
mass unit, a swing arm unit and an
energy consumption unit, a permanent
magnet assembly of the
energy consumption unit comprises a plurality of annular permanent magnets, a conductor plate of the
energy consumption unit is a concave curved plate, and the center of the annular permanent magnets and the center of the concave curved plate are oppositely arranged. The method comprises the steps of calculating an optimal value of an initial
damping constant of an energy consumption unit according to configuration parameters of a device, setting the
radian of a conductor plate in the energy consumption unit to be 0, and enabling the initial
damping constant generated by the energy consumption unit to be consistent with the optimal value of the initial
damping constant through finite element analogue
simulation. The optimal number and spacing of the annular permanent magnets and the minimum spacing between the annular permanent magnets and the conductor plate are determined; and continuously adjusting the curved surface
radian of the conductor plate in the finite
element model, so that the damping force generated by the energy consumption unit conforms to the theoretical damping force generated by the energy consumption unit, and determining the optimal curved surface
radian of the conductor plate. The
damper has the advantages of adjustable damping, high safety and reliability and the like.
