Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge vibration control, and particularly relates to a damping adjustable stay cable oil damper and a damping adjustment method. Background Art

[0002] The stay cable oil damper is a key device for suppressing the vibration of stay cables in structures such as cable-stayed bridges. The stay cable oil damper consumes vibration energy through the flow resistance of hydraulic oil during the movement of the piston. When the stay cable vibrates due to wind or vehicle loads, the piston rod drives the piston to reciprocate in the oil cylinder, and the hydraulic oil is forced to pass through a regulating valve or a throttle hole, generating a damping force related to the speed, thereby suppressing the vibration.

[0003] In related technologies, the traditional stay cable oil damper generates damping based on the thin-wall orifice throttling mechanism. Different damping holes correspond to different damping coefficients, and the damping coefficient is adjusted by adjusting the size of the damping hole. In actual engineering, different damping holes need to be set according to the stay cable parameters to meet the requirements of the optimal damping coefficient. The damping coefficient is related to the vibration control order. Generally, the low-order damping coefficient is large, and the high-order damping coefficient is small.

[0004] However, in the traditional stay cable oil damper, one set of oil damper corresponds to one optimal damping coefficient, which cannot meet the test vibration reduction requirements of multiple parameters. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Embodiment

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0022] This application provides a damping adjustable stay cable oil damper and a damping adjustment method, adding an external damping adjustment device on the basis of the traditional oil damper structure to realize the damping adjustable function and achieve the purpose that a set of stay cable oil dampers can meet different damping coefficients.

[0023] As Figures 1 to 4 shown, an embodiment of a damping adjustable stay cable oil damper is disclosed in this application. The stay cable oil damper includes a damper main structure 1 and an external damping adjustment structure 2.

[0024] Among them, the damper main structure 1 includes a main cylinder 14 and a main piston 16 with a solid structure. The main piston 16 divides the main cylinder 14 into two oil chambers. The main piston 16 has a solid structure and no damping holes are arranged. The oil does not flow through the damping holes of the main piston 16, but flows through the external damping adjustment structure 2.

[0025] The external damping adjustment structure 2 includes an external cylinder 21, an external elbow 22, a fixing plate 23 and a damping plug 24. One end of the external cylinder 21 is closed and the other end is connected to an oil chamber. The fixing plate 23 is fixedly partitioned inside the external cylinder 21. One end of the external elbow 22 is connected to the other oil chamber and the other end is connected between the closed end of the external cylinder 21 and the fixing plate 23. The fixing plate 32 is provided with an eccentric flow hole 231. The damping plug 24 can rotate and closely adhere to the fixing plate 32, and the damping plug 24 is provided with more than four groups of damping holes with different specifications. The damping plug 24 is used to rotate and change the damping hole aligned with the flow hole 231, from one group of damping holes aligned with the flow hole 231 to another group of damping holes aligned with the flow hole 231 to adjust the damping coefficient.

[0026] The cable-stayed cable oil damper of the present application is different from the traditional technical solution and has a unique structural design. The damping holes are no longer arranged on the main piston 16, but an additional external damping adjustment structure 2 is provided. The external cylinder 21 and the external elbow 22 are used in combination to straddle and connect the two oil chambers divided by the main piston 16 in the main cylinder 14. A fixing plate 32 with an eccentric flow-through hole 231 is arranged inside the external cylinder 21, and a rotatable damping plug 24 is also arranged closely attached to the fixing plate 32. The damping plug 24 is provided with more than four different specifications of damping holes. By rotating the damping plug 24, different specifications of damping holes can be adjusted to align with the flow-through hole 231, thereby achieving the adjustment of the damping coefficient. The cable-stayed cable oil damper can have different damping coefficients, can meet different damping coefficient requirements, has a wide application range, and strong practicability.

[0027] In one embodiment, the cable-stayed cable oil damper further includes an adjusting rod 25. The adjusting rod 25 penetrates the closed end of the external cylinder 21. One end of the adjusting rod 25 is vertically connected to the center of the damping plug 24, and the other end exposes from the closed end of the external cylinder 21. When the adjusting rod 25 rotates, the damping plug 24 rotates. During specific operation, mainly by rotating the exposed end of the adjusting rod 25, the damping plug 24 is driven to rotate.

[0028] For the cable-stayed cable oil damper of the present application, the adjusting rod 25 penetrates the closed end of the external cylinder 21 and is vertically connected to the center of the damping plug 24, which is convenient for driving the damping plug 24 to rotate, thereby achieving the purpose of aligning different specifications of damping holes with the flow-through holes.

[0029] Furthermore, the adjusting rod 25 is provided with an adjusting rod step 251, and the adjusting rod step 251 closely adheres to the inner side surface of the closed end of the external cylinder 21.

[0030] For the cable-stayed cable oil damper of the present application, on the basis that the damping plug 24 closely adheres to the fixing plate 32, by the adjusting rod step 251 closely adhering to the inner side surface of the closed end of the external cylinder 21, the axial displacement of the damping plug 24 is effectively prevented, so that the damping plug 24 always closely fits the fixing plate 32, and the oil fluid can only flow through the flow-through hole and the damping hole, providing a structural basis for adjustable damping.

[0031] In one embodiment, the external damping adjustment structure 2 further includes an inner end cover 26. The inner end cover 26 is hermetically arranged at the end of the external cylinder 21 to form the closed end of the external cylinder 21. The adjusting rod 25 penetrates the center of the inner end cover 26. One end of the adjusting rod 25 exposes relative to the inner end cover 26, the adjusting rod 25 can rotate relative to the inner end cover 26, and the adjusting rod step 251 closely adheres to the inner end surface of the inner end cover 26.

[0032] For the stay cable oil damper of the present application, the external damping adjustment structure 2 further includes an inner end cover 26. The inner end cover 26 is hermetically arranged at the end of the external cylinder 21 to form a closed end of the external cylinder 21. The adjusting rod 25 penetrates through the center of the inner end cover 26 to form a structure for stably adjusting the rotation of the damping plug 24.

[0033] In one embodiment, the external damping adjustment structure 2 further includes an outer end cover 28. The outer end cover 28 is coaxially and closely arranged against the inner end cover 26, and the outer end cover 28 is coaxially fixed to the end of the adjusting rod 25 by an inner hexagon screw 29. The axes of the inner end cover 26, the outer end cover 28 and the adjusting rod 25 are all coaxially arranged, and the outer end cover 28 surrounds the exposed end of the adjusting rod 25. The outer end cover 28 and the adjusting rod 25 are relatively fixed, and the outer end cover 28 can rotate relative to the inner end cover 26.

[0034] The outer end cover 28 is provided with a built-in hole. The built-in hole accommodates a compression spring 31. The end of the compression spring 31 abuts against a steel ball 32. The built-in hole is eccentrically arranged, and the axes of the built-in hole and the compression spring 31 are parallel to the axis of the outer end cover 28 itself. The compression spring 31 always presses against the steel ball 32 and presses the steel ball 32 towards the inner end cover 26.

[0035] The inner end cover 26 is provided with a number of steel ball positioning pits 261 on the contact surface with the outer end cover 28. The steel ball positioning pits 261 are used to accommodate part of the structure of the steel ball 32. Specifically, the number of the steel ball positioning pits 261 is equal to the number of specifications of the damping holes.

[0036] When the outer end cover 28 rotates relative to the inner end cover 26 until the steel ball 32 is stuck into any one of the steel ball positioning pits 261, one of the specifications of the damping holes of the damping plug 24 is aligned with the flow hole 231.

[0037] Preferably, the external damping adjustment structure 2 is further provided with a handle rod 27. One end of the handle rod 27 is provided with a thread and is fixedly connected to the side threaded hole of the outer end cover 28. The handle rod 27 can facilitate the application of force, facilitate driving the outer end cover 28 to rotate, and further drive the adjusting rod 25 to rotate.

[0038] The operator rotates the outer end cap 28, thereby driving the adjusting rod 25 and the corresponding damping plug 24 to rotate, so as to adjust the alignment of damping holes of different specifications with the flow holes, and further achieve the purpose of adjusting the damping coefficient. During this process, the steel ball 32 is pressed by the compression spring 31 and rolls on the top surface of the inner end cap 26. When a certain specification of damping hole on the damping plug 24 aligns with the flow hole 231 on the fixed plate 23, the steel ball 32 just moves to the steel ball positioning pit 261. Due to the fact that the steel ball 32 is continuously pressed by the compression spring 31, the operator will hear a "click" sound, and at the same time, it is significantly more difficult to rotate the outer end cap 28, indicating that the operation of adjusting the damping coefficient has been successfully completed. Further, when it is necessary to adjust to another damping coefficient later, repeat the above operation, perform the same adjustment, and hear the "click" sound again, which means that another damping coefficient has been adjusted.

[0039] Specifically, the damping plug of this patent is provided with x different specifications of damping holes, the top surface of the end cap is provided with x steel ball positioning pits, and the stay cable oil damper works with x damping coefficients.

[0040] For the stay cable oil damper of the present application, by providing a fixed inner end cap 26 and a rotatable outer end cap 28, and arranging an internal hole, a compression spring 31 and a steel ball 32 on the outer end cap 28, and arranging a plurality of steel ball positioning pits 261 on the inner end cap 26. When the outer end cap 28 rotates relative to the inner end cap 26 and the steel ball 32 snaps into any one of the steel ball positioning pits 261, one of the damping holes of the damping plug 24 aligns with the flow hole 231. By rotating the outer end cap 28, the steel ball 32 can quickly and conveniently match each steel ball positioning pit 261, achieving the purpose of quickly switching the damping coefficient, greatly improving the accuracy of switching the damping coefficient, and improving the switching efficiency.

[0041] In one embodiment, the damper main body structure 1 further includes two main end caps 13, and the two main end caps 13 are respectively fixed to both ends of the main cylinder barrel 14; one end of the external cylinder barrel 21 connected to the oil chamber is adjacent to one of the main end caps 13, and one end of the external elbow 22 connected to the oil chamber is adjacent to the other main end cap 13.

One end of the external cylinder barrel 21 connected to the oil chamber is adjacent to one of the main end caps 13, and one end of the external elbow 22 connected to the oil chamber is adjacent to the other main end cap 13. This setting can make the movement stroke of the main piston 16 as long as possible, achieving a good vibration damping effect.

[0043] In one embodiment, the overflow hole 231 is larger than the damping holes of any specification, and each specification of damping hole includes at least one damping hole; the eccentric radius of the center of the overflow hole 231 relative to the center of the fixed plate 23 is equal to the eccentric radius of each damping hole relative to the center of the damping plug 24.
