Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of ultra-precision vibration reduction, and more specifically, relates to a Halbach magnetic negative stiffness mechanism with high negative stiffness. Background Technology

[0002] Environmental vibrations directly affect the operational accuracy and lifespan of precision instruments and equipment, such as precision manufacturing equipment, measuring instruments, and optical systems. Therefore, vibration isolators are necessary in practical applications to reduce harmful vibrations. However, existing passive vibration isolators can only isolate frequencies above the resonant frequency. Vibrations occur within a bandwidth of 10 times the normal frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the resonant frequency to broaden the isolation bandwidth.

[0003] In related technologies, using a combination of negative stiffness and positive stiffness mechanisms to reduce the resonant frequency is a good low-frequency vibration isolation strategy, which can simultaneously achieve low stiffness and high load-bearing capacity. Depending on the implementation method, existing negative stiffness mechanisms can be divided into passive negative stiffness mechanisms and active / semi-active negative stiffness mechanisms. Active / semi-active negative stiffness mechanisms often have high complexity, low reliability, and high power consumption, thus limiting their application in some environments. In contrast, passive negative stiffness mechanisms are widely used due to their simple structure, high reliability, and lack of energy supply. Based on the different principles of generating negative stiffness, existing negative stiffness mechanisms can be divided into preloaded rod type, permanent magnet type, spring type, and metamaterial type, etc. Among them, permanent magnet negative stiffness mechanisms have attracted widespread attention due to their compact structure and frictionless characteristics.

[0004] The space occupied by existing permanent magnet negative stiffness mechanisms is usually related to the magnitude of their negative stiffness. Larger negative stiffness requires larger design space to achieve, but the design space of the mechanism is often limited, thus limiting the magnitude of the negative stiffness of the permanent magnet negative stiffness mechanism. At the same time, the negative stiffness of existing magnetic negative stiffness mechanisms is not easy to adjust, resulting in poor applicability. Summary of the Invention

It includes a support frame, a stator permanent magnet assembly, a mover permanent magnet assembly, a spacing adjustment assembly, and a linear guide assembly. The negative stiffness of the magnetic negative stiffness mechanism is generated by the interaction force between the stator and mover permanent magnet assemblies. Both the stator and mover permanent magnet assemblies are Halbach array structures. The first stator... The permanent magnet assembly and the second stator permanent magnet assembly are symmetrically arranged on the support frame. The first stator permanent magnet assembly, the second stator permanent magnet assembly, and the mover permanent magnet assembly are parallel to each other. The linear guide component is used to restrict the mover permanent magnet frame to only move in one dimension relative to the stator permanent magnet frame. That is, the mover permanent magnet assembly can be movably connected to the support frame in the vertical direction through the linear guide component. The spacing adjustment component is set on the support frame to drive the first stator permanent magnet assembly and the second stator permanent magnet assembly to move closer to each other or further apart, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the stiffness value of the magnetic negative stiffness device. In the magnetic negative stiffness mechanism of this application, the linear guide component and the spacing adjustment component are fixed by the support frame and connected to the base plate of the vibration isolator that matches the magnetic negative stiffness device. The top adapter plate is connected to the top plate of the vibration isolator that matches the magnetic negative stiffness device. The magnetic negative stiffness mechanism is connected in parallel with the vibration isolation system, which can reduce the vertical resonance frequency, widen the vibration isolation bandwidth, and improve the vibration reduction performance.

[0049] In this embodiment, all stator permanent magnets and all mover permanent magnets are cuboids with right angles, rounded corners, or chamfers at the edges. All permanent magnets are the same size and have a square cross-section.

[0050] More specifically, in this embodiment, the support frame includes a first support side plate 7a, a second support side plate 7b, a support beam 7c, and a first support base 7d. The first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b are respectively fixedly connected to both sides of the first support base 7d and are parallel to each other. The support beam 7c is fixedly connected between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b to improve the overall rigidity of the support frame. The first moving permanent magnet assembly, the first stator permanent magnet assembly, the second stator permanent magnet assembly, and the second moving permanent magnet assembly are arranged from left to right between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b, and are symmetrically distributed from left to right. The gap between the first moving permanent magnet assembly and the second moving permanent magnet assembly is fixed, while the spacing between the first stator permanent magnet assembly and the second stator permanent magnet assembly is variable. All permanent magnets in the permanent magnet assembly are arranged in a Halbach array. The strong magnetic field generated by the first moving permanent magnet assembly and the second stator permanent magnet group is located on the right, and the strong magnetic field generated by the first stator permanent magnet group and the second moving permanent magnet assembly is located on the left. The spacing adjustment assembly is disposed on the first support side plate 7a or the second support side plate 7b. The linear guide assembly is used to limit the moving permanent magnet assembly to only perform linear reciprocating motion relative to the stator permanent magnet assembly. Specifically, the first moving permanent magnet group and the second moving permanent magnet group are both slidably connected between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b in a direction perpendicular to the first support base 7d through the linear guide assembly.

[0051] Reference Figure 5The linear guide assembly includes a first crossed roller guide 5a, a second crossed roller guide 5b, a third crossed roller guide 5c, and a fourth crossed roller guide 5d. The first crossed roller guide 5a, the second crossed roller guide 5b, the third crossed roller guide 5c, and the fourth crossed roller guide 5d are respectively installed at the four corners of a rectangular frame formed by the first supporting side plate 7a, the second supporting side plate 7b, the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a, and the second moving permanent magnet frame 4b. Specifically, the first crossed roller guide 5a is located between the first supporting side plate 7b and the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a, and the second crossed roller guide 5b is located at the four corners of the rectangular frame formed by the first supporting side plate 7a, the second supporting side plate 7b, the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a, and the fourth crossed roller guide 5d. Between the second support side plate 7a and the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a, a third cross roller guide rail 5c is disposed between the first support side plate 7a and the second moving permanent magnet frame 4b, and a fourth cross roller guide rail 5d is disposed between the second support side plate 7b and the second moving permanent magnet frame 4b; the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a is slidably connected between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b through the first cross roller guide rail 5a and the second cross roller guide rail 5b, and the second moving permanent magnet frame 4b is slidably connected between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b through the third cross roller guide rail 5c and the fourth cross roller guide rail 5d.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 To adjust the relative position between the first stator permanent magnet group and the second stator permanent magnet group, the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a and the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b are both slidably mounted on the first support base 7d. The spacing adjustment component is mounted on the first support side plate 7a or the second support side plate 7b to drive the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a and the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b to slide.

[0053] Specifically, the spacing adjustment assembly includes an adjustment handle 6a, an adjustment screw 6b, an adjustment sleeve 6c, a first rotating arm 6d, and a second rotating arm 6e. The adjustment screw 6b is rotatably connected between the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b, with one end passing through the first support side plate 7a. The adjustment screw 6b has a small clearance fit with the first support side plate 7a and the second support side plate 7b. The adjustment handle 6a is fixed to the end of the adjustment screw 6b by an interference fit. The adjustment handle 6a, fixed to the end of the adjustment screw 6b, is exposed outside the support frame. The adjustment sleeve 6c is fitted onto the other end of the adjustment screw 6b and has a threaded fit. Rotating the adjustment handle... 6a causes the adjusting sleeve 6c to move axially along the adjusting screw 6b. The first rotating arm 6d and the second rotating arm 6e are both rotatably connected to the adjusting sleeve 6c with a small clearance fit. Specifically, the adjusting sleeve has cylindrical tension bodies on its upper and lower sides. These cylindrical tension bodies on both sides of the adjusting sleeve are respectively in a small clearance fit with the first and second rotating arms. The first and second rotating arms can rotate around the cylindrical tension bodies on both sides of the adjusting sleeve. The other end of the first rotating arm 6d is hinged to the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a via a first pin 6f, and the other end of the second rotating arm 6e is hinged to the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b via a second pin 6g. When the adjusting sleeve 6c moves axially along the adjusting screw 6b, the first rotating arm 6d and the second rotating arm 6e simultaneously rotate relative to or towards each other around the adjusting sleeve 6c, further driving the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a and the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b to move towards or relative to each other, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the negative stiffness value of the magnetic negative stiffness device.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 To improve the sliding stability of the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a and the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b, a first sliding guide rail 6l and a second sliding guide rail 6m that are parallel to each other are fixedly connected to the first support base 7d. The bottom of the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a and the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b are both fixedly connected to sliders that are adapted to slide with the first sliding guide rail 6l and the second sliding guide rail 6m. Specifically, the bottom of the first stator permanent magnet frame 3a is fixedly connected to the first slider 6h and the second slider 6i by screws, and the bottom of the second stator permanent magnet frame 3b is fixedly connected to the third slider 6j and the fourth slider 6k by screws. The first slider 6h and the third slider 6j are slidably assembled on the first sliding guide rail 6l, and the second slider 6i and the fourth slider 6k are slidably assembled on the second sliding guide rail 6m.

[0055] Reference Figure 1In this embodiment, the top of the first moving permanent magnet frame 4a and the second moving permanent magnet frame 4b are fixedly connected to the first top adapter plate 8a by screws. The first top adapter plate 8a has four threaded holes. The magnetic negative stiffness mechanism of this application is connected to the motion frame of the matching vibration isolation system through the four threaded holes on the first top adapter plate 8a.

Countersunk holes are provided on the first bearing housing 6n, the second bearing housing 6o, the third bearing housing 6p, and the fourth bearing housing 6q.
