Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical vibration and vibration reduction technology, and in particular to a three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on a parallel mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Vibration control of power machinery has become a crucial factor affecting the safety and reliability of ship propulsion systems. Currently, vibration control for power machinery primarily focuses on the vibration transmission path, employing techniques such as double-layer vibration isolation and floating raft vibration isolation. These measures effectively reduce vibration energy transmission and provide excellent broadband vibration reduction in the mid-to-high frequency range, but their effectiveness in reducing low-frequency characteristic spectrum vibrations is limited. Dynamic vibration absorbers, which suppress the vibration of the main system through their own vibration, offer advantages such as low environmental dependence, simple installation, and targeted control of characteristic spectrum vibrations, providing an important technical solution for addressing the low-frequency characteristic spectrum vibration problem in power machinery.
[0003] Considering that the linear vibrations of power machinery are mostly multidimensional vibrations, and that horizontal vibrations are not negligible in addition to vertical vibrations, multidimensional dynamic vibration absorbers are needed to control them. However, most existing dynamic vibration absorbers are unidirectional, and even the few multidimensional dynamic vibration absorbers are essentially composed of multiple unidirectional absorbers. While they have advantages such as simple design and convenient installation, they also have disadvantages such as large space dimensions and heavy accessories. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on a parallel mechanism, which can effectively suppress the multidimensional line spectrum vibration of power machinery and overcome the problems of large size and large added mass of existing multidimensional dynamic vibration absorbers.
[0005] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows:
[0006] A three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on a parallel mechanism includes a fixed frame, a vibration-absorbing mass block, and three identical branch kinematic chains. The fixed frame includes a lower base plate, an upper top plate, and a guide rod. The guide rod is installed between the lower base plate and the upper top plate. The branch kinematic chains are sleeved on the guide rod. The vibration-absorbing mass block is installed between the lower base plate and the upper top plate. The branch kinematic chains and the vibration-absorbing mass block are connected by a ball joint.
[0007] The bottom plate is a hollow hexagonal structure with alternating long and short sides, and a boss is fixedly installed on the short side.
[0008] The upper top plate and the lower bottom plate have corresponding structures. One end of the guide rod is fixedly installed inside the boss, and the other end is connected to the upper top plate.
[0009] The upper and lower ends of the branch kinematic chain are respectively equipped with spring groups.
[0010] The saddle is mounted on the guide rod via a linear bearing.
[0011] The branch kinematic chain includes a slide saddle and a connecting rod; one end of the connecting rod is connected to the slide saddle via a three-degree-of-freedom upper ball joint, and the other end is connected to the vibration-absorbing mass block via a three-degree-of-freedom lower ball joint.
[0012] The spring assembly includes an upper spring and a lower spring; one end of the upper spring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide saddle, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top plate; one end of the lower spring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide saddle, and the other end is fixedly connected to the boss at the bottom end of the base plate.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0014] (1) The present invention provides a three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on a parallel mechanism. The vibration-absorbing mass block has three translational degrees of freedom, so the vibration absorber can simultaneously suppress the line spectrum vibration of the vibration source device in three directions.
[0015] (2) The three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on the parallel mechanism provided by the present invention contains only one vibration-absorbing mass block compared with the multi-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber composed of multiple one-dimensional dynamic vibration absorbers. Therefore, the vibration absorber is smaller in size and has less added mass to the main system.
[0016] (3) The three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on parallel mechanism provided by the present invention has the advantages of compact mechanical structure and high modularity. It can be installed on vibration source equipment very conveniently and can be applied to the line spectrum vibration control of pump equipment in nuclear power plants. It has a wide range of application prospects. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing the invention and for simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the invention. Furthermore, the terms "first," "second," and "third" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.
[0026] In the description of this invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present invention provides a three-dimensional dynamic vibration absorber based on a parallel mechanism, comprising a fixed frame 1, a vibration-absorbing mass block 2, and three identical branch kinematic chains 3; the fixed frame 1 includes a lower base plate 11, an upper top plate 12, and a guide rod 13; the lower base plate 11 is a hollow hexagonal structure with alternating long and short sides, and a boss 111 is fixedly installed on the short side; the upper top plate 12 corresponds structurally to the lower base plate 11; one end of the guide rod 13 is fixedly installed inside the boss 111, and the other end is connected to the upper top plate 12; the branch kinematic chains 3 are sleeved on the guide rod 13, and spring groups 32 are respectively provided at the upper and lower ends of the branch kinematic chains 3; the vibration-absorbing mass block 2 is provided inside the lower base plate 11;
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the branch kinematic chain 3 includes a slide saddle 31, a spring assembly 32, and two identical connecting rods 33; the slide saddle 31 is sleeved on the guide rod 13 via a linear bearing 34, and the spring assembly 32 is installed at the upper and lower ends of the slide saddle 31; one end of the connecting rod 33 is connected to the slide saddle 31 via a three-degree-of-freedom upper ball joint 35, and the other end is connected to the vibration-absorbing mass block 2 via a three-degree-of-freedom lower ball joint 36.
[0029] The spring assembly 32 consists of an upper spring 321 and a lower spring 322, which have identical structures and stiffness. One end of the upper spring 321 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the slide saddle 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the top plate 12. One end of the lower spring 322 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the slide saddle 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the boss 111 at the bottom of the base plate 11, so that the slide saddle 31 can only perform a single degree of freedom elastic movement along the axis of the guide rod 13. The two connecting rods 33 in the branch kinematic chain 3 have the same structure and length, and are arranged in parallel to ensure that the vibration-absorbing mass has three translational degrees of freedom.
[0030] Both the spring assembly 32 and the vibration-absorbing mass block 2 can be replaced, thereby adjusting the vibration absorption frequency to meet the vibration reduction performance requirements of different vibration source devices.
[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, the dynamic vibration absorber of the present invention is installed on a vibration isolation device for a vibration source device. The four dynamic vibration absorbers are evenly distributed at the feet of the vibration source device, and the feet of the vibration source device are supported by the vibration isolators. Figure 6 The diagram shows the average vibration reduction effect at the connection points between the vibration source equipment's feet and the four vibration isolators before and after installing the dynamic vibration absorber of the present invention. Near the characteristic frequency of the vibration source equipment operating at its rated speed, the vibration reduction effect in the X and Y directions within a 2Hz bandwidth is no less than 10dB, and the vibration reduction effect in the Z direction within a 2Hz bandwidth is no less than 5dB.
[0032] The dynamic vibration absorber proposed in this invention can absorb vibrations from three directions of the vibration source equipment, and has the advantages of high modularity, compact structure, and better vibration absorption effect.
