Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of shock absorbers, and in particular to a shock absorber that utilizes the energy dissipation characteristics of lead material deformation and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] Earthquakes, a dangerous natural disaster, can cause buildings to collapse, roads and bridges to be damaged, and water, electricity, and communication systems to be disrupted, resulting in injuries and deaths, disrupting transportation, and causing huge economic losses. Furthermore, aftershocks and geological hazards following an earthquake can make rescue and reconstruction efforts even more difficult and dangerous. Therefore, it is essential to take preventative and response measures in areas such as construction and bridges to minimize disaster losses.

[0003] A damper is a structural control device that reduces the vibration of structures such as buildings and bridges during an earthquake, thereby reducing earthquake damage. Specifically, when an earthquake occurs, the damper uses built-in mechanisms to convert the structure's vibrational energy into heat or other forms of energy, thus reducing the amplitude and duration of the vibration. This reduces the risk of structural damage and collapse, protecting people's lives and property.

[0004] Since the 1970s, people have gradually begun to use vibration reduction technology in structural engineering such as buildings, bridges, and railways. Its development has been very rapid. Currently, some vibration dampers used in buildings, bridges, and other structures have the disadvantage of complex structure. During use, due to the complex composition of parts, they are difficult to maintain, have high costs, and are prone to damage, which affects the vibration reduction effect. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a shock absorber that uses the compression and collision of steel and lead materials to cause plastic deformation of the lead and generate some heat energy, thereby offsetting part of the energy and achieving a shock absorption effect. It is simple in structure, easy to install, cost-effective, and pollution-free.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A shock absorber includes a cylindrical steel structure with a hollow interior. The hollow steel structure includes a retention area and a compression area. One end of the steel is located outside the retention area and connected to the outside via a fixed anchor. The compression area employs multiple interconnected wavy arc structures arranged in a ring within the compression area. A sliding rod is inserted within each wavy arc structure, with one end of the sliding rod engaged with the retention area and the other end located outside the steel and connected to an external structure. Two symmetrically arranged, identical cylindrical discs are inserted through the sliding rod, and lead material is filled between the two cylindrical discs within the wavy arc structure.

[0008] Preferably, the sliding rod is a slender cylindrical rod, one end of which is engaged with one end of the retention area by a limiting plate, and the other end of which is disposed outside the steel and connected to the external structure.

[0009] Preferably, the two ends of the wavy arc structure are respectively provided with straight segments, the diameter of the straight segments is slightly larger than the diameter of the two cylindrical disks, and the two cylindrical disks are respectively movably located within the straight segments on the wavy arc structure.

[0010] Preferably, lead material is densely filled between the two cylindrical disks within the wavy arc structure.

[0011] This invention also provides an application method for a shock absorber damper, the method being as follows: one end of the sliding rod is connected to an external structure. When the external structure is subjected to an external force, the external force acts on the sliding rod, causing the sliding rod to undergo relative displacement, which in turn causes the lead material to move. At this time, the sliding rod will move left and right along with the lead material. Since the lead material is densely filled between two cylindrical disks within the wavy arc structure of the steel, the lead material will be squeezed and rubbed against the protrusions in the wavy arc structure inside the steel during the movement of the sliding rod. This causes the lead material to undergo plastic deformation according to the wavy arc structure inside the steel and generate heat, thereby achieving the purpose of energy dissipation and shock absorption.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] This invention involves incorporating a sliding rod within a steel body, and densely filling the enclosed space formed by the two with lead material. The lead material acts as a damping medium, which can more effectively reduce vibration and noise compared to traditional damping media. This invention also allows for better control of the damping force and adjustment of its response characteristics. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a shock absorber damper, comprising a steel material 1 with a smooth and regular cylindrical outer contour structure. The steel material 1 has a hollow structure inside, with both ends of the hollow structure being regular cylindrical, and the whole structure is annular. The hollow structure includes a retention area and a compression area. One end of the steel material 1 is located outside the retention area and is connected to the outside through a fixed anchor 4, which plays a role in fixing the overall structure.

[0021] The extrusion zone employs multiple interconnected regular or irregular wavy arc structures, arranged in a ring within the extrusion zone. Straight segments are located at both ends of each wavy arc structure. A sliding rod 3 is inserted within the wavy arc structure, positioned at the center of the extrusion zone. One end of the sliding rod 3 is engaged with the retention area, while the other end connects to the external structure outside the steel material 1. Two symmetrically arranged, identical cylindrical disks 6 are inserted through the sliding rod 3. Lead material 2 is densely filled in the space formed between the two cylindrical disks 6 and the wavy arc structure. When the sliding rod 3 moves, it causes the lead material 2 to be compressed and rubbed against the steel material 1. Under pressure, the sliding rod 3 can slide left or right, further compressing and rubbing the lead material 2 against the steel 1, thus achieving energy dissipation.

[0022] The diameters of the two cylindrical disks 6 are slightly smaller than the diameter of the straight segment, and the two cylindrical disks 6 are respectively located within the straight segment of the wavy arc structure. The straight segments at both ends of the wavy arc structure are the displacement distance of the sliding rod 3. When the sliding rod 3 is displaced within the straight segments at both ends of the wavy arc structure, the sliding rod 3 compresses the lead material 2 within the wavy arc structure through its two cylindrical disks 6.

[0023] Furthermore, the sliding rod 3 provided by the present invention is a slender cylindrical rod. One end of the cylindrical rod is clamped to one end of the retention area by a limiting plate 5, and the other end of the cylindrical rod is set outside the steel 1 and connected to the external structure. Two cylindrical plates 6 are symmetrically arranged on the cylindrical rod.

[0024] Furthermore, the two cylindrical disks 6 within the wavy arc structure provided by the present invention are filled with lead material 2 in a dense manner.

[0025] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0026] One end of the sliding rod 3 is connected to the external structure. When the external structure is subjected to external force, the external force acts on the sliding rod 3, causing the sliding rod 3 to undergo relative displacement, which in turn causes the lead material 2 to move. At this time, the sliding rod 3 will move the lead material 2 to the left and right. Since the lead material 2 is densely filled between the two cylindrical disks in the wavy arc structure of the steel 1, the lead material 2 will be squeezed and rubbed against the protrusions in the wavy arc structure inside the steel 1 during the movement of the sliding rod 3. This causes the lead material 2 to undergo plastic deformation according to the wavy arc structure inside the steel 1 and generate heat, thereby achieving the purpose of energy dissipation and vibration reduction.

[0027] The expression for the heat energy generated above is:

[0028] Q = cmΔt

[0029] Heat Q: Joules (J)

[0030] Specific heat capacity C: Joules per kilogram at ℃ (J / kg℃)

[0031] Mass m: kilograms (kg)

[0032] Temperature rise (or fall) Δt: degrees Celsius (°C)

[0033] Lead has a specific heat capacity of 130 J / kg℃, and the quality of lead can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the scenario.

[0034] The aforementioned external force will do work on the sliding rod 3 and the lead material 2, expressed as:

[0035] W=FScosα

[0036] Work W: Joules (J)

[0037] External force F: Newtons (N)

[0038] Displacement S: meters (m)

[0039] In this model, the deflection angle cosα is approximately considered to be 1, while the displacement S determines the upper limit of the offset energy in this invention. Therefore, in actual production applications, it should be determined according to the actual situation to achieve the best results.

[0040] This invention involves incorporating a sliding rod within a steel body, with the resulting enclosed space densely filled with lead material. The lead material acts as a damping medium, providing more effective vibration reduction than traditional damping media and decreasing noise and vibration. This invention also allows for better control of the damping force and adjustment of its response characteristics. It is suitable for various applications, such as automotive, construction, and robotics.
