Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dynamic vibration isolation mechanical design, specifically to a snap-on adjustable mechanical superstructure vibration isolator and its design method. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of dynamic vibration isolation, the isolation requirements for different objects not only need to meet the design dimensions of the isolator, but also require a high vibration transmissibility. Poorly effective vibration isolation systems can cause significant amplitude and force responses in the isolated object, and in severe cases, vibration damage or even failure. Especially for vibration isolation conditions with high requirements, a wide isolation frequency band and good isolation efficiency within that band are necessary. Adopting reasonable and efficient vibration isolation mechanisms and implementing flexible isolation designs have become key concerns in industries such as aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding, and machining. Based on this background, there is an urgent need for a vibration isolation device that can meet multi-frequency band requirements and achieve good vibration suppression, thereby satisfying the isolation needs of increasingly complex vibration environments.
[0003] In the field of vibration isolator design, vibration isolation control devices with stable and efficient characteristics and intelligent adjustment capabilities have broad application prospects. Utilizing a good and efficient vibration isolation control device can effectively ensure the smooth and effective operation of the vibration isolator. However, in existing vibration isolator design schemes, mature and reliable control methods are still relatively few. Some schemes achieve vibration isolation control by replacing dampers or using active control methods, while others directly achieve vibration isolation design for different objects by adding or removing vibration isolators. However, these schemes all have significant problems:
[0004] Firstly, in the scheme of achieving vibration isolation control through active control, the related supporting equipment is relatively complex, the device is complicated and inefficient, and the design cost of the auxiliary control system is high. Secondly, in the case of achieving vibration isolation control by replacing dampers or adding or removing vibration isolators, there are problems such as poor flexibility, low efficiency and poor adaptability in engineering applications. Moreover, when replacing dampers or adding or removing vibration isolators, the operating space requirements are high, which is often difficult to meet in specific fields such as aerospace. Summary of the Invention

[0016] Furthermore, a square hole is opened in the middle of the base, and the limiting rod is a square rod with an arc-shaped plate fixed on its side. The size of the limiting rod and the square hole in the middle of the base are designed for clearance fit, and when the arc-shaped plate contacts the inner wall of the square hole, it is a line contact.
[0017] Furthermore, the bottom of the limiting rod is fixedly connected to the chassis through a reinforcing rib.
[0018] The design method for the above-mentioned vibration isolator includes the following steps:
[0019] Step 1: Determine the number of vibration isolation units based on the longitudinal permissible installation space dimensions of the vibration isolator, as well as the longitudinal dimensions of the vibration isolation unit cell and the chassis thickness; and determine the length of the vibration isolation unit cell beam oscillator based on the transverse permissible installation space dimensions of the vibration isolator.
[0020] Step 2: Based on the required vibration isolation frequency band and the number of vibration isolation unit cells N determined in Step 1, divide the required vibration isolation frequency band into N sub-frequency bands;
[0021] Step 3: For each sub-frequency band, design the corresponding vibration isolation unit cell and determine the matrix equivalent mass and beam oscillator equivalent mass of the vibration isolation unit cell;

[0042] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. These embodiments are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0043] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise," etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and 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 this invention.
[0044] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.
[0045] This invention proposes a snap-on adjustable mechanical superstructure vibration isolator, which achieves axial vibration isolation of the entire isolator through local resonance of the system. The number of unit cells of the superstructure is determined according to the vibration isolation size requirements of the object being isolated, and then the vibration transmission rate requirement of the preset vibration isolation is achieved by adjusting the oscillator and the additional mass of the matrix.
[0046] As shown in the figure, the snap-on adjustable mechanical superstructure vibration isolator in this embodiment includes a chassis, a limiting rod, and several vibration isolation unit cells.
[0047] The vibration isolation unit cell includes a matrix, a beam oscillator, and an elastic connector.
[0048] The chassis is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod; several vibration isolation units are all fitted onto the limiting rod through the base, and the top of the limiting rod does not protrude from the top surface of the base of the uppermost vibration isolation unit; the bases of adjacent vibration isolation units are connected by elastic connectors, and the base of the lowermost vibration isolation unit is connected to the chassis through elastic connectors.
[0049] The chassis, limiting rod, and several vibration isolation units are assembled into a mechanical superstructure vibration isolator and then installed between the object to be isolated and the vibration source. The chassis is fixed to the vibration source, and the top surface of the base of the uppermost vibration isolation unit is fixedly connected to the object to be isolated.
[0050] The base has several threaded holes on its side for installing additional mass blocks and connecting holes for installing beam vibrators. The beam vibrator has a threaded hole at its distal end for installing additional mass blocks. According to the vibration isolation design requirements, additional mass blocks and beam vibrators are installed at corresponding positions on the base, and additional mass blocks are installed at the distal ends of the corresponding beam vibrators.
[0051] One end face of the base has a snap-fit plug for connecting with the elastic connector, and the other end face has a snap-fit plug for connecting with the elastic connector or a mounting hole for connecting with the vibration-isolated object; the chassis has a snap-fit plug for connecting with the elastic connector; the elastic connector and the base, as well as the elastic connector and the chassis, are all conveniently connected by snap-fit.
[0052] In this embodiment, the base adopts a regular octagonal structure. One set of four sides, arranged in a cross shape, has connection holes for mounting the beam vibrator, while another set of four sides, also arranged in a cross shape, has threaded holes for mounting additional mass blocks. An internal plug is fixed to the side of the base through the connection holes for mounting the beam vibrator. The inner end of the cantilever beam uses a snap-fit mechanism, allowing for quick and easy insertion into the fixed internal plug on the side of the base, achieving a snap-fit connection. A first additional mass block is fixed to the threaded holes on the side of the base using a first bolt, thus facilitating the adjustment of the equivalent mass of the base. Threaded holes are also provided at the outer end of the cantilever beam, allowing a second additional mass block to be fixed to it using a second bolt according to design requirements, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the equivalent mass of the beam vibrator.
[0053] In this embodiment, the elastic connector adopts a "U"-shaped structure, and locking pins are fixed at both ends of the elastic connector. The locking pins on the elastic connector can be quickly connected to the base end face and the buckle plug on the chassis.
[0054] The base has a square hole in its center for mounting the base onto the limiting rod, allowing it to slide axially relative to the limiting rod. The limiting rod is a square rod, and its dimensions are designed for a clearance fit with the square hole in the base. To reduce friction, an arc-shaped plate is fixed to the side of the square rod, and when the arc-shaped plate contacts the inner wall of the square hole, it is in line contact, further reducing friction. A reinforcing rib is machined at one end of the limiting rod, and the reinforcing rib securely connects the rod to the chassis.
[0055] Based on the above structure, and considering the actual object being isolated and its installation environment, the following design method for a snap-on adjustable mechanical superstructure vibration isolator is presented to determine the number of unit cells and the parameters of each unit cell to meet the requirements of a wide vibration isolation frequency band. The specific steps are as follows:
[0056] Step 1: Determine the number and size of the vibration isolation unit cells.
[0057] Since the installation environment of vibration isolators is limited, and the required vibration isolation frequency band is relatively wide, in order to achieve wide-band vibration isolation in a limited space environment, the number and size of the vibration isolation unit cells must first be determined according to the size constraints of the space environment.
[0058] Based on the structure of the vibration isolator described above, it is known that the isolator consists of multiple unit cells arranged longitudinally and connected by snap-fit connections, and is installed as a whole on the chassis. Therefore, the longitudinal dimension of the vibration isolator is the sum of the longitudinal dimensions of the multiple unit cells and the chassis thickness. Thus, the number of vibration isolator unit cells N can be determined based on the permissible longitudinal installation space of the vibration isolator, as well as the longitudinal dimensions of the vibration isolator unit cells and the chassis thickness. The lateral dimension of the vibration isolator mainly considers the length of the beam oscillator. Therefore, the length of the beam oscillator in the vibration isolator unit cell is determined based on the permissible lateral installation space of the vibration isolator.
[0059] Step 2: Based on the required vibration isolation frequency band and the number of vibration isolation unit cells N determined in Step 1, divide the required vibration isolation frequency band into N sub-bands; each sub-band corresponds to one vibration isolation unit cell.
[0060] Step 3: For each sub-frequency band, design the corresponding vibration isolation unit cell and determine the matrix equivalent mass and beam oscillator equivalent mass of the vibration isolation unit cell. The matrix equivalent mass and beam oscillator equivalent mass obtained here will be used as the initial parameters of each vibration isolation unit cell in the subsequent overall design of the vibration isolator.
[0061] When designing a vibration isolation unit cell, the longitudinal dimension of the unit cell and the length of the beam oscillator remain unchanged. Instead, the equivalent mass of the base and the equivalent mass of the beam oscillator are adjusted by changing the additional mass blocks installed on them.
[0062] Step 4: Assemble the N vibration isolation unit cells designed in Step 3 into a vibration isolator, establish a vibration isolator model, optimize the vibration isolator model, and obtain the final vibration isolator; the optimization parameters are the matrix equivalent mass and beam oscillator equivalent mass of each vibration isolation unit cell, and the optimization objective is the vibration transmissibility; the matrix equivalent mass and beam oscillator equivalent mass are adjusted by the additional mass blocks installed on them.
[0063] The optimization process involves: analyzing the bandgap structure and vibration characteristics of the isolator model to obtain its bandgap characteristics and frequency response curves; then calculating the vibration transmissibility within the required isolation frequency band based on these characteristics and curves. The vibration transmissibility must reach at least 80% of the isolation efficiency. If this is achieved, the design requirements for the mechanical superstructure isolator are met, and the entire isolator design is complete. If not, the added mass of the oscillator and matrix in the unit cell design is readjusted until the desired result is achieved.
[0064] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it is understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention.
