Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of dampers, and more particularly to an intelligent anti-ship collision progressive magnetorheological shear thickening damper and method for bridge piers. Background Technology

[0002] The research and application of shear-thickening materials and magnetorheological materials in bridge pier collision protection are still lacking both domestically and internationally. Currently, the mainstream bridge pier collision protection devices available both domestically and internationally include: steel caisson collision protection devices, flexible steel wire rope loop collision protection devices, composite material energy dissipation collision protection devices, and rubber fender collision protection devices. However, the energy dissipation of these devices is passive, relying solely on structural deformation to offset the impact force from the ship. Furthermore, in steel caisson collision protection devices, as the impact force gradually increases, the ship and the device crush each other, resulting in irreversible damage. This not only harms both devices but may also threaten the overall performance of the bridge pier. While self-floating composite material collision protection devices can achieve collision energy dissipation and a certain degree of self-recovery, their output is much smaller than that of steel caisson devices. Moreover, the failure mode of composite material collision protection devices is brittle, meaning that once they fail, their output will be significantly reduced. Regardless of whether it is a steel caisson or self-floating composite material collision protection device, the damage after failure is enormous, and repair is extremely difficult and costly.

[0003] Although shear-thickening materials can help vibration damping actuators achieve adaptive and self-reinforcing functions based on external load excitation, this is only a passive response to external stimuli, and the performance cannot be directionally controllable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides an intelligent progressive magnetorheological shear thickening damper for bridge piers designed to withstand ship collisions. Through the coordinated operation and load-bearing of four stages—main and auxiliary pistons and piston rod—the device achieves effective force output targeting different stages of the elastic-plastic deformation of steel. Utilizing the shear hardening and magnetorheological effects of the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid, the damper achieves high-adjustment performance, fast response speed, and intelligent adjustment for high-energy-consuming impact resistance and vibration reduction. By integrating the damper with the anti-collision device in a prefabricated, embedded manner, the load-bearing capacity of the anti-collision device during both elastic and plastic deformation stages is effectively improved, reducing the damage range caused by repeated collisions with bridge piers. This allows the anti-collision device to be reused multiple times to withstand impacts of different ship classes.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above-mentioned technical objectives through the following technical means.

[0006] A smart anti-ship collision progressive magnetorheological shear thickening damper for bridge piers includes a cylinder, a first piston rod, a second piston rod, and a third piston rod; one end of the first piston rod is connected to an external component, and the other end extends into the cylinder; a first main piston is disposed on the first piston rod; a first auxiliary piston is floatingly disposed on the first piston rod, and the first auxiliary piston is close to the left end of the cylinder.

[0007] One end of the second piston rod is placed inside the first main piston, and the other end extends into a groove on the third piston rod; a second main piston is provided at one end of the third piston rod, and a second auxiliary piston is floating on the third piston rod; the second auxiliary piston is close to the right end of the cylinder; the cylinder is filled with magnetorheological shear thickening liquid.

[0008] In the above scheme, both the first and second auxiliary pistons are provided with displacement hysteresis chambers, and both the first and third piston rods are provided with annular pressure plates; the annular pressure plates are located in the displacement hysteresis chambers.

[0009] In the above scheme, excitation coils are provided on both the first main piston and the second main piston, and damping channels are provided inside the first main piston and the second main piston; the gap between the first auxiliary piston and the second auxiliary piston and the cylinder is a damping channel.

[0010] In the above scheme, the excitation coil has two sets separated by a magnetic isolation ring, which are divided into an inner excitation coil and an outer excitation coil.

[0011] In the above scheme, a third end cap is provided near the right end of the cylinder of the third piston rod; the third end cap is used to support the third piston rod.

[0012] In the above scheme, the first piston rod is connected to an external component through a tenon and mortise plug, and the external component is a pressure plate; the tenon and mortise plug is set on the tenon and mortise insertion fixing device, and the tenon and mortise insertion fixing device is provided with a ball groove, which cooperates with the ball on the pressure plate.

[0013] In the above scheme, the sphere can rotate 0~30° relative to the tenon and mortise joint fixing device.

[0014] In the above scheme, a first end cover and a second end cover are provided on both the left and right sides of the cylinder; a Y-shaped sealing ring is provided between the first end cover and the first piston rod; the second end cover is connected to the fixing plate by tenon and mortise joints.

[0015] In the above scheme, the intelligent anti-ship collision progressive magnetorheological shear thickening damper used for bridge piers is installed inside the anti-collision device. Beneficial effects

[0016] 1. The device of this invention has a progressive four-stage design corresponding to different deformations of the outer steel of the anti-collision device. The first stage corresponds to elastic deformation of the steel, the second stage corresponds to small plastic deformation of the steel, the third stage corresponds to large plastic deformation of the steel, and the fourth stage corresponds to plastic failure of the steel. It provides the advantage of corresponding impact output damping force for different elastic-plastic deformation conditions of the steel, realizing the effect of progressive output and energy consumption of the magnetorheological shear thickening damper in stages, thereby improving the output performance of the anti-collision device within the limited deformation range.

[0017] 2. Addressing the problem of passive impact resistance and energy consumption in traditional bridge pier anti-collision devices, this invention utilizes a magnetorheological shear thickening fluid that combines the coupling effects of shear hardening and magnetorheology. This enables the damper to rapidly absorb and release energy in response to ship collisions, and flexibly adjust the damping force. The damper achieves strong adjustable performance in response to impacts, fast response speed, and intelligent adjustment of the device to resist high-energy-consuming impacts and reduce vibrations.

[0018] 3. The present invention is integrated with the anti-collision device in a modular and embedded manner, which effectively improves the load-bearing capacity of the anti-collision device during the elastic and plastic deformation stages, reduces the damage range caused by repeated collisions between ships and bridge piers, and achieves the effect that the anti-collision device can be used multiple times to cope with collisions of different ship classes.

[0019] 4. The device of this invention is installed inside an anti-collision device, which is mounted on a bridge pier. After the steel of the anti-collision device is compressed and deformed, the corresponding damping force is output through the damper of this invention. In this invention, the properties of the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid are changed by altering the current in the excitation coil, thereby providing the effect of providing the corresponding damping force.

[0020] 5. In this invention, the cylinder head is connected to the pressure plate and cylinder head through ball joints and tenon joints, so that even if the pressure plate in the anti-collision device rotates at a certain angle, the damper can still stably output the corresponding damping force. In addition, the cylinder head is connected to the fixed plate in the anti-collision device through tenon joints, which has strong structural stability. Attached Figure Description

[0050] The working method of the intelligent anti-ship collision progressive magnetorheological shear thickening damper for bridge piers includes the following stages:

[0051] In the first stage, when the pressure plate 1 is under pressure, the internal excitation coil on the first main piston 6 is energized, and the first piston rod 4 pushes the first main piston 6 to move to the right, causing the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid 23 to flow in the damping channel 22 on the inner and outer sides of the first main piston 6; through the displacement movement of the first main piston 6 and the energization of the internal excitation coil, the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid 23 undergoes shear hardening and magnetorheological effect, thereby providing the required output damping force;

[0052] In the second stage, as the pressure on the pressure plate 1 continues to increase, the first main piston 6 and the first auxiliary piston 9 work together. Specifically, both the inner and outer excitation coils on the first main piston 6 are energized, and while the first piston rod 4 pushes the first main piston 6 to move to the right, the first auxiliary piston 9 moves to the right under the push of the annular pressure plate 41, causing the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid 23 to flow in the damping channels 22 inside and outside the first main piston 6 and the damping channel 22 outside the auxiliary piston. Through the displacement movement of the first main piston 6, the energization of the excitation coil, and the displacement movement of the first auxiliary piston 9, the magnetorheological shear thickening fluid 23 undergoes shear hardening and magnetorheological effect, thereby providing the required output damping force.

[0053] In the third stage, the pressure on the pressure plate 1 is greater than in the second stage. The first main piston 6, the first auxiliary piston 9, and the second main piston 12 work together. Specifically, both the internal and external excitation coils on the first main piston 6 are energized, and the internal excitation coil on the second main piston 12 is energized. The first piston rod 4 pushes the first main piston 6 and the second piston rod 8 to the right to the bottom of the groove of the third piston rod 14, which in turn drives the third piston rod 14 and the second main piston 12 to move to the right. The first auxiliary piston 9 moves to the right under the push of the annular pressure plate 41. This causes the magnetorheological shear thickening liquid 23 to flow in the damping channels 22 on the first main piston 6, the second main piston 12, and the first auxiliary piston 9, causing shear hardening and magnetorheological effects, thereby providing output damping force.

[0054] In the fourth stage, the pressure on the pressure plate 1 is greater than in the third stage. The first main piston 6, the first auxiliary piston 9, the second main piston 12, and the second auxiliary piston 10 work together. Specifically, the inner and outer excitation coils of the first main piston 6 and the second main piston 12 are energized. The first piston rod 4 pushes the first main piston 6 and the second piston rod 8 to the bottom of the groove of the third piston rod 14, causing the second main piston 12 and the third piston rod 14 to move to the right. The first auxiliary piston 9 and the second auxiliary piston 10 move to the right under the push of the annular pressure plate 41. This causes the magnetorheological shear thickening liquid 23 to flow in the damping channel 22 of the first main piston 6, the second main piston 12, the first auxiliary piston 9, and the second auxiliary piston 10, causing shear hardening and magnetorheological effects, thereby providing output damping force.

The first auxiliary piston (9) and the second auxiliary piston (10) move to the right under the push of the annular pressure plate (41). This causes the magnetorheological shear thickening liquid (23) to flow in the damping channel (22) of the first main piston (6), the second main piston (12), the first auxiliary piston (9), and the second auxiliary piston (10), causing shear hardening and magnetorheological effect, thereby providing output damping force.
