Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of civil engineering and vibration control technology, and particularly relates to an adaptive tuned mass damper with active, semi-active and passive control and intelligent switching. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of structural design and construction technology, building structures become higher and more slender. However, high-rise buildings are light and flexible in shape, and have low natural frequency and damping ratio, so they are very sensitive to vibration under disaster action. Earthquake is one of the most destructive and dangerous natural disasters. How to protect the safety of building structures under the action of earthquake has always been a research hotspot of scholars in the world civil engineering field. Under the excitation of typhoon, strong convective weather and the like, high-rise buildings may produce large vibration. The excessive acceleration response of the structure will cause the comfort problem of indoor users, and the displacement response will endanger the safety of the building structure. With the higher requirements of people on the safety and comfort of building structures, the intelligent disaster prevention and mitigation research of structures under multi-disaster action is more challenging and of great value. In order to control the vibration response of building structures under external disasters and improve their safety, a common method is to add dampers to the structure for vibration control, that is, to dissipate the kinetic energy of the structure through additional dampers, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the vibration of the structure.

[0003] Tuned mass damper (TMD) is a traditional structural vibration control device. The tuned mass damper is a single-degree-of-freedom dynamic vibration absorber composed of a mass unit, a stiffness unit and a damping unit, and it is necessary to propose an intelligent tuned mass damper that can control the bidirectional vibration of the structure. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to overcome the deficiencies in the prior art, and to provide an adaptive tuned mass damper with active, semi-active and passive control and intelligent switching, which can adjust the bidirectional frequency and damping ratio of itself in real time, and has better bidirectional vibration control performance compared with the traditional tuned mass damper.

[0005] The purpose of the present application is achieved by the following technical solutions:

[0006] An adaptive tuned mass damper with active, semi-active, passive control and intelligent switching, comprising: a floor top plate and a floor bottom plate, an upper connecting plate connected to the lower surface of the floor top plate by welding or bolting, a lower connecting plate connected to the upper surface of the floor bottom plate by welding or bolting, a mass block arranged between the upper connecting plate and the lower connecting plate, the mass block having a damping groove in the center for containing damping liquid, a plurality of shape memory alloy springs uniformly arranged between the upper connecting plate and the mass block and connecting the upper connecting plate and the mass block, a plurality of air springs uniformly arranged between the upper connecting plate and the mass block and connecting the upper connecting plate and the mass block, the mass block connected to the floor bottom plate through a friction pendulum support composed of a support top plate, a slider and a support bottom plate, the lower surface of the mass block connected to the support top plate by bolting, the lower surface of the support bottom plate connected to the floor bottom plate by welding or bolting, the slider placed between the support top plate and the support bottom plate and smoothly sliding in both directions in the plane to drive the mass block to slide in both directions, thereby achieving bidirectional vibration control of the structure.

[0007] The lower connecting plate is connected with a jack by bolting for applying a pushing force or a pulling force to the friction pendulum support, the jack providing active control force for the friction pendulum support to ensure that the mass block can slide under slight wind vibration to start working and can control its excessive stroke under extreme disasters. Preferably, the adjustable length range of the jack is 1-150 mm.

[0008] A step motor driven rod extends into the damping groove in the Y direction and can perform telescopic movement under the control of a control center, and a damping steel plate is connected to the step motor driven rod by welding or bolting and moves with the step motor driven rod to change the length of the damping steel plate extending into the damping groove. The damping steel plate provides bidirectional damping force through relative movement with the damping liquid in the damping groove, and the damping force can be adjusted by adjusting the length of the damping steel plate extending into the damping groove through the step motor driven rod. The damping liquid is silicone oil damping liquid or magnetorheological damping liquid. When the damping liquid is magnetorheological damping liquid, the damping can also be changed by changing the viscosity of the magnetorheological damping liquid through electric current. The damping groove can be rectangular or annular. Preferably, the adjustable length range of the step motor driven rod is 1-5 m.

[0009] As described above, the adaptive tuned mass damper with active, semi-active, and passive intelligent switching further includes multiple acceleration sensors for measuring the X-axis and Y-axis accelerations of the support base plate and the mass block, respectively. These acceleration sensors are connected to the control center via wired or wireless transmission. The control center analyzes and processes the acceleration signals from each sensor to obtain the optimal bidirectional frequency and damping ratio of the tuned mass damper.

[0010] The plurality of acceleration sensors include at least: acceleration sensor I, which is attached to the side of the support base plate in the horizontal X direction and is used to measure the horizontal X-axis acceleration of the support base plate; acceleration sensor II, which is attached to the side of the mass block in the horizontal X direction and is used to measure the horizontal X-axis acceleration of the mass block; acceleration sensor III, which is attached to the side of the support base plate in the horizontal Y direction and is used to measure the horizontal Y-axis acceleration of the support base plate; and acceleration sensor IV, which is attached to the side of the mass block in the horizontal Y direction and is used to measure the horizontal Y-axis acceleration of the mass block.

[0012] The multiple acceleration sensors and the control center form the servo control section of the adaptive tuned mass damper.

The shape memory alloy spring can change its stiffness and frequency by changing its electric current, and the air spring can change its stiffness and frequency by changing its air pressure, thereby achieving variable stiffness control to ensure the accurate instantaneous vibration frequency of the damper and improve its bidirectional vibration reduction effect.

[0015] The multiple acceleration sensors form a health monitoring part of the adaptive tuned mass damper, and real-time vibration signals of the adaptive tuned mass damper and a building structure floor where the adaptive tuned mass damper is located are stored, transmitted and analyzed by the health monitoring part in real time, so as to ensure normal work and safety of the building structure and the adaptive tuned mass damper.

[0016] The active, semi-active and passive control intelligent switching adaptive tuned mass damper can realize bidirectional vibration control of the structure through smooth bidirectional sliding of the friction pendulum support in a plane; the jack provides active control force for the friction pendulum support, so that the mass block can slide under slight wind vibration to start work, and the excessive stroke of the mass block under extreme disasters can be controlled; the relative movement between the damping steel plate and the damping liquid in the damping groove provides bidirectional damping force; the variable stiffness control ensures accurate instantaneous vibration frequency of the damper, and improves the bidirectional vibration reduction effect; the real-time vibration signals of the tuned mass damper and the building structure where the tuned mass damper is located are stored, transmitted and analyzed by the health monitoring part in real time, so as to ensure normal work and safety of the building structure and the tuned mass damper.

[0017] Due to the above scheme, the following beneficial effects are achieved:

[0018] Firstly, the tuned mass damper can control bidirectional vibration of the high-rise building in a plane, and has the advantages of saving building space, saving damper consumption, reducing floor concentrated load and saving cost.

[0019] Secondly, the tuned mass damper can start to slide under slight wind vibration, and the active control part stops working when the tuned mass damper can move; under extreme disasters, the active control part can limit the stroke of the tuned mass damper to ensure safety.

[0020] Thirdly, the tuned mass damper can adjust its bidirectional frequency and damping ratio in real time, so it has better bidirectional vibration control performance than the conventional tuned mass damper.

[0021] Fourthly, when the semi-active control part does not start to work, the tuned mass damper is a conventional passive tuned mass damper, which can also meet the established comfort index through optimization design, and has better comfort margin in the semi-active control case.

[0022] Fifthly, the real-time vibration signals of the tuned mass damper and the building structure are stored, transmitted and analyzed by the health monitoring part in real time, so as to ensure normal work and safety of the building structure and the tuned mass damper.
