In addition, due to design requirements or manufacturing errors, the angles of each frame are non-orthogonal, and square tubes and round tubes are mixed in some positions, so the layout and installation of the equipment are quite difficult.

[0003] On the other hand, the internal equipment installed in the model can easily reach an instantaneous overload of 5-10G under the combined effects of the model's water-impact deceleration and internal structural vibration, increasing the risk of equipment damage and greatly limiting the choice of equipment.

[0004] How to design an installation platform suitable for narrow and complex frame structures and reduce equipment overload through shock-absorbing design is an important research direction for optimizing experimental methods and extending equipment service life. Summary of the Invention

The proposed experimental equipment installation platform has a shock-absorbing function.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] An experimental equipment installation platform with a shock-absorbing function, including a horizontal shock-absorbing mechanism, a vertical shock-absorbing mechanism, and a frame fixing connection device;

[0008] The frame fixing connection device includes a first tightening support at the equipment end, a frame tightening support and a second tightening support at the equipment end, so that it can adapt to ship model frames of square tubes and round tubes of different sizes. The first tightening support at the equipment end and the second tightening support at the equipment end are obliquely connected to the frame tightening support and the adapter plate at the support end of the vertical shock absorbing mechanism;

[0009] The frame fixing connection device is fixed to the internal frame of the model where the equipment needs to be installed, and the other end is connected to the vertical shock absorbing mechanism. The vertical shock absorbing mechanism is connected to the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism through the hinged square rod connection device, and the equipment is installed on the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism;

[0010] The horizontal shock absorption mechanism is provided with an omnidirectional shock absorption device in the horizontal plane. The device is installed on the housing of the horizontal shock absorption mechanism. The omnidirectional shock absorption device in the horizontal plane includes a fixed base, a central frustum, a spring group, a transmission device and a housing. The bottom of the central frustum is provided with a slot.

[0011] The transmission device includes a base end pulley, a spring end pulley, a spring end gear, a base end gear and a base end traction rope, and the base end gear is meshed with the spring end gear;

[0012] The vertical shock absorbing mechanism comprises a shock absorbing spring slider device and a variable friction damping device, and the shock absorbing spring slider device is connected to a threaded hole reserved on a fixed base of the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism through a hinged square rod.

[0013] Preferably, the fixed base is designed to be a shallow cylindrical shape, with circular protrusions and threaded holes on both sides of the middle part, a lifting ring installed on the upper protrusion to connect the traction rope, and the back is connected to the articulated square rod of the vertical shock absorbing mechanism by bolts.

[0014] Preferably, the middle cone is connected to the base of the annular shell, which acts as a limiter for the fixed base and generates a pre-tightening force on the contact surface, providing friction damping for the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism, filtering out the influence of small vibrations and accelerating the stabilization speed of the system. The center of the middle cone has a hole, and the upper and lower end faces are rounded. The traction rope passes through the center hole to connect the fixed base and the transmission device.

[0015] Preferably, the base end gear and the spring end gear in the transmission device are both installed on the middle circular table, the base end pulley is connected to the fixed base through the middle circular table traction rope, the base end gear is installed on the pulley, cooperates with the spring end gear, and is connected to the spring group through the spring end pulley, thereby realizing omnidirectional shock absorption capability in the horizontal plane and providing a higher elastic coefficient in a limited space.

[0016] Preferably, the shell includes an upper cover shell and a base limiting ring. The upper cover shell is designed to be barrel-shaped. The barrel-shaped upper cover shell side is used to connect the equipment. The base limiting ring is installed from bottom to top to the middle cone to play a vertical limiting role.

When the variable friction damping device is in the equilibrium position, the constant-force spring tightens the bolt, providing higher friction damping. As the slider moves away from the equilibrium position, the traction rope loosens the pulley bolt, gradually reducing the damping to zero. This not only helps filter out minor vibrations, but also provides a higher restoring force, improving the shock absorption effect.

[0020] The friction damping device is a fastener with one end hinged and the other end having a threaded hole. The friction damping device changes the friction damping by tightening with bolts. One end of the two traction ropes is connected to the constant force spring fixed on the slider, and the other end is connected to the support end adapter plate and the base through pulleys.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides an experimental equipment installation platform with a shock-absorbing function, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0024] The present invention is mainly aimed at the installation of equipment inside ship models during ship model slamming experiments. Through the cooperation of frame tightening supports and support mechanisms, the equipment can be arranged on a non-orthogonal frame structure with a certain angle of deflection, and is applicable to square tube and circular tube frames of multiple scales. The present invention provides a three-degree-of-freedom shock-absorbing structure. The instantaneous high overload in ship model experiments limits the application and arrangement of precision instruments and various structures. The three-degree-of-freedom shock-absorbing structure can greatly improve the operability of the experiment and the service life of the equipment, and reduce the risk of equipment damage.

[0033] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0034] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0035] like Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, the experimental equipment installation platform with shock absorption function, the horizontal shock absorption mechanism 1, the vertical shock absorption mechanism 2 and the frame fixing connection device 3;

[0036] The frame fixing connection device 3 includes a first tightening support 31 at the equipment end, a frame tightening support 32 and a second tightening support 33 at the equipment end, so that it can adapt to ship model frames of square tubes and round tubes of different sizes. The first tightening support 31 at the equipment end and the second tightening support 33 at the equipment end are tilted to connect the frame tightening support 32 and the support end adapter plate 211 of the vertical shock absorbing mechanism 2. The end surfaces of the first tightening support 31 at the equipment end and the second tightening support 33 at the equipment end are opened with arc grooves, which can adjust the angle of the structure and the frame tightening support 32 and can be installed on non-orthogonal frames; the equipment end The first fastening support 31, the frame metal fastening support, and the second fastening support 33 at the equipment end are all designed as separate structures, enabling disassembly and installation, and can achieve a certain angle of deflection. Radial holes are opened, and the first fastening support 31 at the equipment end, the frame metal fastening support, and the second fastening support 33 at the equipment end are clamped by screws, enabling the connection of square tubes and round tubes of various sizes. When multiple frame fixing connection devices 3 are used and installed in a non-orthogonal frame, the vertical vibration damping mechanism 2 can be ensured to be in the plumb direction and can be smoothly installed with the horizontal vibration damping mechanism 1.

[0037] The frame fixing connection device 3 is fixed to the internal frame of the model where the equipment needs to be installed. The other end is connected to the vertical shock absorbing mechanism 2. The vertical shock absorbing mechanism 2 is connected to the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism 1 through a hinged square rod connection device. The equipment is installed on the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism 1.

[0038] The horizontal vibration damping mechanism 1 is provided with an omnidirectional vibration damping device in a horizontal plane. The device is mounted on the housing 15 of the horizontal vibration damping mechanism 1. The omnidirectional vibration damping device in a horizontal plane includes a fixed base 11, a central circular table 12, a spring assembly 13, a transmission device 14 and a housing 15. A slot 121 is provided at the bottom of the central circular table 12.

[0039] The fixed base 11 is designed to be a shallow cylindrical shape, with circular protrusions on both sides of the middle part and threaded holes. The upper protrusion is installed with a lifting ring to connect the traction rope 225, and the back is connected to the hinged square rod of the vertical shock absorbing mechanism 2 by bolts;

[0040] The central frustum 12 is connected to the base 217 of the annular housing 15, limiting the fixed base 11 and generating a preload force on the contact surface, providing friction damping for the horizontal shock absorbing mechanism 1, filtering out the influence of small vibrations and accelerating the stabilization speed of the system. In addition, overload and weightlessness will further increase the pressure between the contact surfaces, increasing friction damping, so that the shock absorption system quickly enters a stable state after the acceleration peak, thereby improving the shock absorption effect. The central frustum 12 has a hole in the center and is rounded at the upper and lower end surfaces. The traction rope 225 passes through the central hole to connect the fixed base 11 and the transmission device 14;

[0041] The shell 15 includes an upper cover shell 151 and a base limiting ring 152. The upper cover shell 151 is designed to be barrel-shaped. The side of the barrel-shaped upper cover shell 151 is used to connect the equipment. The base limiting ring 152 is installed from bottom to top to the middle cone 12 to play a vertical limiting role. When the fixed base 11 and the middle cone 12 are offset, the displacement in any direction in the horizontal plane can be transmitted to the upper pulley 223 end through the traction rope 225 and converted into rotation. The transmission device 14 amplifies the stroke of the traction rope 225 and makes all springs enter the working state synchronously, so as to increase the spring stiffness in the smallest possible space and improve the shock absorption effect.

[0042] The transmission device 14 includes a base end pulley 141, a spring end pulley 142, a spring end gear 143, a base end gear 144 and a base end traction rope 145, and the base end gear 144 is meshed with the spring end gear 143;

[0043] The base end gear 144 and the spring end gear 143 in the transmission device 14 are both mounted on the middle truncated cone 12. The base end pulley 141 is connected to the fixed base 11 via the traction rope 225 of the middle truncated cone 12. The base end gear 144 is mounted on the pulley 223, cooperates with the spring end gear 143, and is connected to the spring group 13 via the spring end pulley 142, thereby achieving omnidirectional shock absorption capability in the horizontal plane and providing a higher elastic coefficient in a limited space.

[0044] The vertical shock absorbing mechanism 2 includes a shock absorbing spring slider device 21 and a variable friction damping device 22. The variable friction damping device 22 includes a friction damping device 221, a pulley bolt 222, a pulley 223, a constant force spring 224 and a traction rope 225. The variable friction damping device 22 is tightened by the constant force spring 224 in the equilibrium position to provide higher friction damping. As the slider 215 moves away from the equilibrium position, the traction rope 225 relaxes the pulley bolt 222 and the damping gradually drops to zero. On the one hand, it is beneficial for filtering small vibrations, and on the other hand, it provides a higher return force and improves the shock absorption effect. The friction damping device 221 is a fastener with a hinged end and a threaded hole at the other end. The friction damping device 221 changes the friction damping by tightening with bolts. One end of the two traction ropes 225 is connected to the constant force spring 224 fixed on the slider 215, and the other end is connected to the support end adapter plate 211 and the base 217 through the pulley 223. The middle part is fixed to the pulley 223 of the pulley bolt 222. The constant force spring 224 tightens the pulley 223 friction damping device 221 in the equilibrium position.

[0045] The shock-absorbing spring slider device 21 includes a support end adapter plate 211, a vertical shock-absorbing spring 212, a slider end spring seat 213, a linear bearing 214, a slider 215, an optical axis 216 and a base 217; the side of the support end adapter plate 211 is connected to the frame fixed connection device 3, and the optical axis 216 and one end of the vertical shock-absorbing spring 212 are fixedly installed below, and the other end of the vertical shock-absorbing spring 212 is connected to the slider end spring seat 213, the slider end spring seat 213, the linear bearing 214 and the slider 215 are installed in combination, and the base 217 is fixed to the other end of the optical axis 216, and the shock-absorbing spring slider device 21 is connected to the threaded hole reserved on the fixed base 11 of the horizontal shock-absorbing mechanism 1 through a hinged square rod.

[0046] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with this technical field, within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, who makes equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solutions and inventive concepts of the present invention, should be covered by the scope of protection of the present invention.
