The granular damper fills a certain number of particles in a limited closed space or an additional cavity of a vibrating structure, and the particles dissipate the vibration energy of the system through the collision and friction between the particles, the container and the particles inside, so as to achieve the purpose of vibration reduction. However, the traditional granular damper has some drawbacks: (1) when the particle accumulation or filling rate in the container is low, the particle collision efficiency is low; (2) in order to achieve better vibration reduction effect, a larger additional mass is needed, and the control efficiency will be greatly reduced and the design cost will be increased; (3) the vibration reduction effect is related to multiple parameters, the parameters interact with each other, and the vibration reduction mechanism is relatively complex; (4) the traditional damper cannot achieve rapid and effective energy dissipation for different vibration conditions.

[0078] The gear shifting unit 3 is installed inside the shell 1. The gear shifting unit 3 comprises a gear shifting gear set 31, a gear shifter 32 and a gear shifting line 33. The gear shifting gear set 31 is connected with the gear shifter 32 through the chain 6, and the gear shifting line 33 is arranged on the gear shifter 32.

In this embodiment, three layers of second particle containers 45 are provided for sufficient damping, each of the second particle containers 45 is internally provided with five tracks, and one second particle 46 is placed in each track.

One end of the third spring 48 is fixed inside the second particle container 45, and the other end of the third spring 48 is connected with the transmission slide plate 47, which can reciprocate under the impact of the second particle 46 and the stretching of the third spring 48.

[0081] The particle energy dissipation unit 5 is mounted inside the housing 1 and includes a protruding edge rotating shaft 51, a third particle container 52, a third particle 53, and a buffer material 54. As shown, Figure 11 The housing 1 is internally provided with a long rod 7 arranged above the particle transmission unit 4, the particle energy dissipation unit 5 is mounted on the long rod 7 through a bearing, and the variable speed gear set 31 is coaxially mounted on the long rod 7. The protruding edge rotating shaft 51 is coaxially mounted on the long rod 7, the protruding edge rotating shaft 51 is fixedly connected with the variable speed gear set 31, and the third particle container 52 is sleeved on the protruding edge rotating shaft 51. The inner wall of the third particle container 52 is covered with a layer of buffer material 54 made of rubber, the third particle 53 can impact and damp in the third particle container 52, and the filling volume ratio of the third particle 53 in the third particle container 52 is 40%.

[0082] In this embodiment, the first particle 24 and the second particle 46 are steel balls, and the third particle 53 is a tungsten carbide ball.

[0083] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0084] 1、When the main structure vibrates, the second particles 46 in the particle transmission unit 4 begin to impact the transmission slide plate 47 in the track of the second particle container 45, the transmission slide plate 47 begins to reciprocate under the impact of the second particles 46 and the stretching of the third spring 48, and then drives the crank rocker 44 to make a circular motion with the reciprocating motion of the transmission slide plate 47. The crank rocker 44 then drives the amplification gear 41 and the chain 6 to start rotating, and then the speed change gear set 31 connected with the chain 6 starts to drive the edge rotating shaft 51 to rotate around the shaft. The third particle container 52 sleeved on the edge rotating shaft 51 starts to rotate, and the third particles 53 inside start to impact the inside of the third particle container 52 continuously, achieving efficient impact damping. At the same time, the collision and friction between the second particles 46 and the second particle container 45 also dissipate part of the vibration energy of the system.

[0085] 2、When the main structure vibrates, the first particles 24 in the particle level adjusting unit 2 begin to impact the level adjusting structure 21 in the track inside the first particle container 22. The second spring 215 begins to stretch under the impact of the first particles 24, and when the level adjusting slide rail 212 reaches the variable step of the first particle container 22, the second spring 215 inside the level adjusting slide rail 212 pushes the sliding block 213 and the roller end plate 211 to stretch along the sliding block support shaft 214, so that the level adjusting structure 21 can be clamped at the first variable step. At this time, the movement of the level adjusting slide rail 212 pulls the speed change wire 33 connected at the bottom, the speed change wire 33 pulls the rotatable end plate at the bottom of the upper variable level shell 321 to rotate, then pulls the stretching spring 325, the traction piece 324 rotates a small angle around the limiting shaft screw 323 at the upper variable level shell 321, moves the lower variable level shell 322, and then drives the variable level gear 326 to change position. The position change of the variable level gear 326 then drives the movement of the chain 6, and the position of the chain 6 is shifted from the largest diameter gear in the speed change gear set 31 to the next smaller diameter gear, thereby increasing the rotation speed of the speed change gear set 31, and thereby speeding up the rotation of the third particle container 52. With the impact of the first particles 24, the level adjusting slide rail 212 continues to be pushed to the next variable step until the last variable step, the speed change wire 33 pulls the level adjusting structure 21 until the chain 6 is shifted to the smallest diameter gear in the speed change gear set 31, at which time the rotation speed of the speed change gear set 31 is further increased, thereby speeding up the impact of the third particles 53 in the third particle container 52 to achieve the effect of sufficient damping. The distance of the movement of the lower variable level shell 322 in the speed changer 32 is the distance between the gears in the speed change gear set 31, so that the variable level gear 326 can be kept in the same plane after each variable level, and the collision and friction between the first particles 24 and the first particle container 22 also dissipate part of the vibration energy of the system.

The number of first particles 24 arranged in the length direction of the track makes the regulating structure 21 move to the last stage of the first particle container 22 when the first particles 24 are impacted.

[0092] In this embodiment, the second particle container 45 is provided with 3 layers, and each layer is provided with five tracks inside the second particle container 45, and each track is provided with one second particle 46. The width of the track inside the second particle container 45 ensures that only one second particle 46 can be placed along the track in the transverse direction. The number of second particles 46 placed in the length direction of the track enables the transmission slide plate 47 to move back and forth in a large range when the second particle 46 is impacted greatly. The crank rocker 44 moves back and forth with the transmission slide plate 47 to realize the circular motion.

[0093] In this embodiment, the first spring 23 is in a natural elongation state, and the second spring 215 is in a compressed state. The first spring 23 is elongated along the track of the first particle container 22 under the impact of the first particle 24 and always maintains elastic deformation. When the second spring 215 is naturally elongated, the roller end plate 211 can move to the last stage of the first particle container 22.

[0094] In this embodiment, the filling volume of the third particle 53 in the third particle container 52 accounts for 25% of the third particle container 52. The first particle 24 and the second particle 46 are ceramic balls, and the third particle 53 is a steel ball. The material of the buffer material 54 is foamed plastic.

[0095] In this embodiment, the transmission line 33 is connected to the bottom of the level adjusting slide rail 212 in the level adjusting structure 21. The lower part of the first particle container 22 is provided with a channel to ensure that the level adjusting slide rail 212 can pull the transmission line 33 at different positions. The transmission line 33 is connected to the upper variable level shell 321 in the transmission 32.

[0096] In this embodiment, the tension spring 325 is arranged between the lower variable level shell 322 and the upper variable level shell 321. The traction piece 324 can pull the lower variable level shell 322 to move to a position.

[0097] In this embodiment, the distance of the position change of the lower variable level shell 322 in the transmission 32 is the distance between the gears in the transmission gear set 31 after the particle level adjusting unit completes a variable level each time, so that the variable level gear 326 can be kept in the same plane with the gears in the transmission gear set 31 after each variable level.

[0098] In this embodiment, the number of variable levels of the first particle container 22 is 3, and the number of gears in the transmission gear set is 4.

[0099] The above description of the embodiments is for the convenience of the ordinary skilled in the art to understand and use the invention. Those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments, and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative labor. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the above embodiments, and the improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present application should be within the scope of protection of the present application.
