Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of springs, and in particular to a wave coil basic building unit and a low-frequency vibration isolation wave spring. Background Art

[0002] Wave springs are a common elastic mechanical part, usually a thin metal ring with several peaks and valleys. They are widely used in situations where small installation space is restricted and weight reduction and axial preload are required, such as aerospace, precision machinery, hydraulic seals and high-end motors.

[0003] At present, the well-known wave springs include functional wave springs such as high-pressure wave springs and sealing wave springs, as well as structurally improved wave springs such as open wave springs, flat spiral wave springs and multi-layer wave springs. However, given that wave springs are mostly used in axial pressure-bearing and mechanical operation situations in actual use, mechanical vibrations that affect the performance of wave springs are common. Wave springs that are exposed to mechanical vibrations for a long time are prone to insufficient restoring force or even failure due to deformation of the main body. For example, the risks of instrument loss of control, loose sealing valves, axial rotational dislocation, etc. caused by this will directly affect the user's experience of product performance (such as daily household products), and in serious cases will bring immeasurable losses (such as aerospace, hydraulic seals and high-end motor applications).

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a wave spring that is lightweight, provides constant force compensation, and has low-frequency vibration isolation function, which can not only realize the functions of a general wave spring, but also avoid performance failure caused by vibration during use.
