Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mass dampers, and in particular to a mass damper. Background Art

[0002] The transverse mass damper (TMD) is a vibration reduction device that effectively controls structural vibration through its unique working principle and ingenious design. It is installed between an object with a certain mass and the main structure, such as a high-rise building and a large-span bridge. When the main structure is subjected to external force, the damper will accumulate elastic potential energy due to deformation under force, and at the same time, the damper will convert part of the vibration energy into heat energy for consumption. When the elastic potential energy reaches a certain level, the mass block starts to move and adjusts the resonant frequency of the system by changing its position. The transverse mass damper can adjust its vibration frequency to near the frequency of the main structure, thereby achieving the purpose of shock absorption.

[0003] During the use of the mass damper, its actual vibration reduction effect is lower than the design expectation. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the natural frequency of the mass damper within a certain range to achieve the best working state and meet the design requirements. However, most of the mass dampers currently do not have a good adjustment function, resulting in poor overall vibration reduction effect and uncertain external force direction. The mass damper can only reduce vibration for external forces in a single direction and cannot perform multi-directional vibration reduction, which is extremely inconvenient.

[0010] The buffer rod is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the outer ball head and is located directly below the bottom plate.

[0011] Furthermore, prefabricated threaded holes aligned with each other are formed through the interior of the top plate, the first configuration block and the second configuration block.

[0012] Furthermore, the upper support column and the lower support column are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and the middle parts of the ends of the upper support column and the lower support column close to the steel ball are both arranged in a curved surface.

[0014] Furthermore, a first positioning block is integrally fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the upper support column and the lower support column away from the steel ball, and a second positioning block adapted to the first positioning block is provided inside the top corner of the top plate.

[0015] Furthermore, a prefabricated installation hole is formed through the top corner of the lower end of the base plate, and the first positioning block is connected to the base plate in a snap-fit ​​manner through the prefabricated installation hole.

[0016] Furthermore, the first configuration blocks are stacked in sequence in the middle of the lower end of the top plate.

[0020] 2. Through the upper support column and the lower support column, when the main structure is subjected to horizontal vibration, the upper support column and the lower support column can respectively roll with the steel ball through the curved surface under the action of vibration to change the relative position of the top plate and the bottom plate, so as to facilitate the adjustment of the overall resonance frequency, and the vibration frequency can be adjusted to the vicinity of the main structure frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of shock absorption;

[0021] 3. Through the buffer rod and buffer tube, when the main structure is subjected to vertical vibration, the buffer rod can shrink inside the buffer tube to alleviate the vertical vibration.

During installation, the top plate 1 is installed on the lower end of the main structure so that the upper end surface of the top plate 1 contacts the lower end surface of the main structure, and at the same time, the bolts can be rotated and inserted into the prefabricated threaded holes 5 penetrated through the top plate 1, the first configuration block 3 and the second configuration block 4 in sequence, so as to facilitate the first configuration block 3 and the second configuration block 4 to be fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower end of the top plate 1. The first configuration block 3 is superimposed in sequence in the middle of the lower end of the top plate 1. During use, the first configuration block 3 can be installed and removed by screws, and the mass can be changed by changing the number of the first configuration blocks 3, thereby changing the overall natural frequency and realizing frequency adjustment;

When the main structure is subjected to horizontal vibration, the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 can respectively roll with the steel ball 8 through the curved surface under the action of vibration to change the relative position of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 6, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the overall resonance frequency, and the vibration frequency can be adjusted to the vicinity of the main structure frequency, so as to achieve the purpose of shock reduction, and at the same time, the outer sides of the ends of the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 close to the steel ball 8 are provided with a convex structure, which can block the steel ball 8 to prevent the steel ball 8 from falling off during the shock reduction process;
