[0043] In a preferred embodiment of the vibration adhesion module based on resonant coupling enhancement, the vibrating diaphragm 1 resonates controllably with other parts by adjusting the elastic coefficient of the elastomer 4 and the mass of the variable mass support 5.

[0044] In a preferred embodiment of the vibration adhesion module based on resonant coupling enhancement, the vibration amplitude expression of the vibrating diaphragm 1 is as follows:

[0046]

[0047] m1 represents the mass of the diaphragm 1, m2 represents the mass of the variable mass support 5; c2 represents the contact damping between the variable mass support 5 and the ground; k1 represents the elastic coefficient of the elastic body 4, k2 represents the contact elastic coefficient between the variable mass support 5 and the ground; x1 represents the axial displacement of the diaphragm 1, x2 represents the axial displacement of the variable mass support 5, ω represents the vibration angular frequency, t represents time, A0 represents the average vibration force of the vibrating motor, and ω0 represents the natural frequency of the diaphragm. a This represents the natural frequency of a variable-mass support, an inherent property of every object, indicating how the object vibrates when no external force is applied.

[0048] F represents the total force acting on the module, due to the periodic vibration force from the vibrating motor.

[0049] In a preferred embodiment of the vibration adhesion module based on resonant coupling enhancement, the vibration motor 2 and the motor fixing component 3 are interference-fitted.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the vibration adhesion module based on resonant coupling enhancement, the vibration diaphragm 1 and the motor fixing component 3, the motor fixing component 3 and the elastomer 4, and the elastomer 4 and the variable mass support 5 are all bonded together with silicone.

[0052] In a preferred embodiment of the vibration adhesion module based on resonant coupling enhancement, the vibration adhesion module has a centrosymmetric structure.

[0053] In one embodiment, the vibration motor 2 and the motor fixing member 3 are connected by an interference fit, and the vibration diaphragm 1 and the motor fixing member 3, the motor fixing member 3 and the elastomer 4, and the elastomer 4 and the variable mass support 5 are all bonded with silicone.

[0054] In one embodiment, the elastomer 4 includes a spring, a flexible polymer material, rubber, and an origami elastic mechanism.

[0055] like Figure 1As shown, the improved vibration adhesion module includes a vibrating diaphragm 1, a vibration motor 2, and a motor mounting bracket 3. During operation, the atmospheric pressure adhesion force generated by the vibrating diaphragm 1 is transmitted to the variable mass support 5 via the elastomer 4. Both the variable mass support 5 and the vibrating diaphragm 1 are attached to a wall or ceiling. The variable mass support 5 is used to connect external devices, such as… Figure 2 The middle adhesive module is hung upside down on the ceiling and the weights are held in place by ropes.

[0062]

[0063] in ω represents the average vibrational force. ω represents the angular frequency of vibration, and t represents time.

[0064] By solving the second-order equation above, we can derive the expression for the vibration amplitude of diaphragm 1:

[0065]

[0066] For ease of analysis, it is converted into a dimensionless form.

[0067]

[0068] Each dimensionless quantity is:

[0069]

[0070] Studies have shown that the greater the vibration amplitude of the diaphragm 1, the stronger the adhesion of the vibration module. Therefore, we can use this vibration mathematical model to adjust the elastic coefficient of the elastic body 4 and the mass of the variable mass support 5, so that the diaphragm 1 can resonate with other parts in a controllable manner, thereby strengthening the adhesion.

[0071] A variable mass support is a component that connects to an elastomer and comes into contact with the adhered object; it can be replaced with other types of components or modules. See also Figures 3 to 5 .
