Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a kind of non-continuous friction damper and its use method, belong to the technical field of friction damper. BACKGROUND

[0002] The conventional friction damper of existing application is suitable for civil construction industry, and multiple friction dampers are used to reduce vibration, consume energy and resist earthquake. The sliding friction force provided by the conventional friction damper is usually a fixed value, and the structure of the friction damper cannot adjust the damping force. In the field of engineering machinery, the damping force of the damper needs to be adjusted conveniently and maintained easily. The friction damper is used in the tower crane industry. When the tower crane faces sudden unloading conditions, the boom will be tilted upward and the balance weight at the tail of the balance arm will be detached. The friction damper needs to provide damping force at the initial stage of the tilting of the boom to buffer the impact force. When the boom is tilted to a certain angle, the friction damper needs to provide no damping force to facilitate the tilting of the boom and the detachment of the balance weight. When the balance weight is detached, the boom will continue to tilt upward under the action of inertia force. At this time, the friction damper needs to be involved to provide damping force to provide resistance to the continued tilting of the boom under the action of inertia force, thereby reducing the tilting displacement of the boom. At this time, the friction damper needs to provide damping force intermittently, and the continuous friction damper cannot meet the use conditions. SUMMARY

[0003] The present application aims to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art and provide a non-continuous friction damper and its use method. The friction damper can withstand large displacement and large tonnage. When the tower crane faces sudden unloading conditions, the damper provides damping force at the initial stage of operation to buffer the impact force of the tilting of the boom. After a certain displacement, the damping force is cancelled to facilitate the rapid tilting and detachment of the balance weight at the tail of the balance arm. After the detachment of the balance weight is completed, the friction damper provides damping force to provide resistance to the continued tilting of the boom under the action of inertia force, thereby reducing the tilting displacement of the boom and preventing the boom from tilting excessively under the action of inertia force to cause the danger of detachment of the boom.

[0017] Further, the damper sleeve is fixed to the damper shell by a fixing bolt.

[0018] Further, the edge of the pull rod groove is an arc-shaped transition smooth structure.

[0022] Continue to stretch the damper pull rod, the friction block passes the pull rod groove, at this time the upper and lower two sides friction blocks are in contact with the damper pull rod, under the action of the pre-tightening force of the compression bolt, the damper restores the friction force.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects:

The present application provides a non-continuous friction damper and its use method, which realizes the damper without friction force by increasing the groove of the damper pull rod, meets the demand of various working conditions, and realizes the state of the friction damper damping force from having to none to having with the change of stroke.
