Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of civil engineering, and in particular to a self-powered magnetorheological-variable inertia intelligent damper. Background Art

[0002] In the field of civil engineering, especially large structures such as high-rise buildings and large bridges are often affected by external excitations such as earthquakes and wind loads, which can easily lead to abnormal structural vibrations, thus causing structural damage or even safety accidents, which may lead to huge economic losses and casualties. Therefore, structural vibration control is a major research hotspot in civil engineering structural design.

[0003] Traditional civil engineering structural vibration control technology is mainly divided into two categories: active control technology and passive control technology. Passive control systems, such as traditional tuned mass dampers, do not require external energy supply, but they are very sensitive to structural frequency and the control effect is relatively fixed. They are usually used for wind vibration control and are difficult to adapt to complex seismic excitations. Active control systems are more accurate and efficient in controlling structural vibration, but they are highly dependent on the continuous supply of a large amount of external energy, which increases the operating cost of the building. If a power outage occurs in an extreme disaster (such as an earthquake), the damper will fail, limiting its application.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the problem that existing dampers are difficult to achieve the goal of wide-band vibration control of structures and reduce the operating energy consumption of dampers, it is urgent to develop an intelligent damper that can be self-powered and has wide-band vibration / vibration control. Summary of the invention

[0021] Furthermore, when the external vibration excitation is relatively large, the second intelligent controller controls the magnitude of the current entering the second induction coil to achieve phased output of the magnetorheological cavity.

[0022] In the first stage, the second intelligent controller amplifies the current of the second induction coil, and the resistance of the first flow channel is greater than the resistance of the second flow channel.

[0032] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0033] (1) The self-powered magnetorheological-variable inertia intelligent damper of the present invention has a magnetorheological cavity, a tuning cavity, a motion conversion cavity, a variable inertia cavity and an energy collection cavity which are arranged in series in sequence. In the small-amplitude vibration stage, it performs passive control and energy storage, and in the large-amplitude vibration stage, it performs active-passive hybrid control and energy release. It can not only achieve the goal of wide-band vibration control of the structure, but also reduce the energy consumption of the damper in the operation stage.

[0034] (2) The overall working mechanism of the present invention is staged control + dispersed energy capture and concentrated energy consumption. The staged control working mechanism realizes the maximization of the control performance of the damper under different levels of excitation, that is, the adaptive function is realized; on the other hand, the dispersed energy capture and concentrated energy consumption working mechanism realizes the collection of external small-amplitude vibration mechanical energy, and reacts to suppress the large-amplitude vibration of the structure at a specific moment, avoiding the energy shortage problem caused by the "energy capture-energy consumption synchronization" working mechanism of the traditional self-powered damper, and it is easier to achieve the self-powered goal of the damper.

[0035] (3) The magnetorheological cavity of the present invention can adaptively control the damper output in stages according to the structural vibration conditions, better adapt to the shock absorption requirements of civil structures under small, medium and large earthquakes, and can more comprehensively respond to different types of dynamic loads, providing effective control effects regardless of low-amplitude vibration or high-amplitude vibration.

[0036] (4) The introduction of the rotating variable inertia mechanism of the present invention significantly broadens the damping frequency band of the damper, overcomes the deficiency of the traditional tuned damper in the case of misalignment (the external excitation frequency is not within the damping frequency band of the damper), and enhances the robustness of the damper.

[0037] (5) The self-powered magnetorheological-variable inertia intelligent damper of the present invention can not only reduce the operating cost of the damper, but also ensure that the damper can continue to work when the external power supply is interrupted, thus avoiding the disadvantage of traditional active magnetorheological dampers failing due to power failure under large excitation. It has stronger robustness, which is crucial to improving the safety of structures in extreme events such as earthquakes.

[0038] (6) The energy storage and energy release of the damper of the present invention are carried out in stages, storing energy under most small vibration conditions (subway, wind, etc.) and consuming energy under occasional conditions (earthquake, typhoon), thereby significantly reducing the operating energy consumption of the damper and alleviating the difficulty of energy consumption > energy supply during operation of existing self-powered dampers.

[0039] (7) The damper of the present invention is integrated and installed by cavities with different functions, and has a high degree of modularization, which is conducive to mass production in practical applications, convenient installation and rapid maintenance.

[0074] The energy collection cavity 5 includes: an electromagnetic generator 51, a first circuit 511 and a second circuit 512. The electromagnetic generator 51 is fixed to the energy collection cavity 5 by a fixed key 52, and is connected to the rotating shaft 41 to generate electricity.

[0076] To ensure the magnetic conductivity of the damper, the outer wall of the magnetorheological cavity 1 and the piston 13 must be made of materials with good magnetic conductivity. To avoid problems such as leakage and electric shock, the first induction coil 111 and the second induction coil 112 must be wrapped with a layer of insulating material 113.

[0077] The working principle of the self-powered magnetorheological-variable inertia intelligent damper of the present invention is as follows:

[0078] Under external excitation, the structure is displaced, squeezing / stretching the first piston rod 14, driving the piston 13 to move close to the inside of the inner baffle 12, and the second piston rod 21 moves accordingly and drives the ball nut rod 31 to move, thereby converting the translational motion of the damper into the rotation of the rotating shaft 41; the rotating shaft 41 drives the magnetic block in the electromagnetic generator 51 to rotate and generate electricity, thereby converting the vibration mechanical energy into electrical energy, and storing the electrical energy in the electromagnetic generator 51.

[0079] If the external vibration excitation is small (such as breeze, subway vibration), the damper is in a passive control state, and the control force is mainly provided by the elastic force of the tuning cavity 2, the inertia force of the variable inertia volume cavity 4 and the electromagnetic reaction force of the energy collection cavity 5. The overall energy consumption of the entire system is less than the energy capture, and the damper is in the energy storage stage. Specifically, the first intelligent controller 513 controls the first circuit 511 to be disconnected. At this time, there is no induced current in the first induction coil 111 and the second induction coil 112, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid is small, and the magnetorheological cavity 1 provides almost no damping force. At the same time, the first intelligent controller 513 controls the second circuit 512 to be connected, and the actuator 48 operates to drive the movable wheel 42 to move along the rotating shaft 41, and then drives the slider 45 to move along the slide rail on the slide wheel 43. The rotating mass (i.e., the inertia) in the variable inertia volume cavity 4 changes, and the tuning frequency of the damper changes accordingly (tuning frequency k is the stiffness of the tuning component 22, and m is the rotating mass), thereby widening the vibration reduction frequency band of the damper.

[0080] If the external vibration excitation is large (such as earthquakes and typhoons), the damper is in an active-passive hybrid control state, and the control force is mainly provided by the damping force of the magnetorheological cavity 1, the elastic force of the tuning cavity 2, the inertia force of the variable inertia cavity 4 and the electromagnetic reaction force of the energy collection cavity 5. The energy consumption of the entire system is greater than the energy capture, and the damper is in the energy release stage. Specifically, the first intelligent controller 513 controls the first circuit 511 to be turned on, and the first induction coil 111 is activated; the second intelligent controller 5111 controls the current entering the second induction coil 112 to achieve the staged output of the magnetorheological cavity 1:

[0081] ① The first stage: the second intelligent controller 5111 amplifies the current of the second induction coil 112, and the resistance of the first flow channel 15 is greater than the resistance of the second flow channel 16. At this time, the magnetic fluid in the cavity on one side of the piston 13 passes through the through hole 121 of the inner baffle 12, and flows to the cavity on the other side of the piston 13 through the second flow channel 16, and the overall damping force is small.

[0082] ② The second stage: the second intelligent controller 5111 reduces the current of the second induction coil 112, and the resistance of the first flow channel 15 is smaller than the resistance of the second flow channel 16. At this time, the magnetic fluid in the cavity on one side of the piston 13 flows through the first flow channel 15 to the cavity on the other side of the piston 13, and the overall damping force is medium.

[0083] ③ The third stage: the second intelligent controller 5111 keeps the current of the second induction coil 112 unchanged, and the resistance of the first flow channel 15 is close to the resistance of the second flow channel 16. At this time, part of the magnetic fluid in the cavity on one side of the piston 13 flows through the first flow channel 15, and the other part flows through the second flow channel 16 to the cavity on the other side of the piston 13, and the overall damping force is relatively large. In addition, the second circuit 512 is still in the on state, and the working mode of the variable inertia cavity 4 remains unchanged.

[0084] On the whole, the working mechanism of the self-powered magnetorheological-variable inertia intelligent damper is "staged control" + "dispersed energy capture and concentrated energy consumption": in the small-amplitude vibration stage, it is the passive control + energy storage stage (tuning cavity 2 + variable inertia cavity 4 + energy collection cavity 5), and in the large-amplitude vibration stage, it is the active-passive hybrid control + energy release stage (magnetorheological cavity 1 + tuning cavity 2 + variable inertia cavity 4 + energy collection cavity 5).

[0085] On the one hand, the "stage control" working mechanism maximizes the control performance of the damper under different levels of excitation, that is, realizes the adaptive function; on the other hand, the "dispersed energy capture and concentrated energy consumption" working mechanism collects the external small-amplitude vibration mechanical energy and reacts to suppress the large-amplitude vibration of the structure at a specific moment, avoiding the energy shortage problem caused by the "energy capture-energy consumption synchronization" working mechanism of the traditional self-energy damper, and making it easier to achieve the self-energy goal of the damper.

It is obvious that those skilled in the art can easily make various modifications to these embodiments and apply the general principles described herein to other embodiments without creative work.
