[0015] The beneficial effects included in the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0016] The present invention discloses a chiral origami superstructure nozzle for vibration control and bandgap regulation. The superstructure nozzle is a cylindrical chiral superstructure formed by artificially arranging six chiral oscillators composed of rods in a periodic manner. The chiral structure has rotational symmetry and a specific geometric arrangement. The superstructure has a double period, with four chiral oscillators arranged in the circumferential direction and six chiral oscillators in the axial direction. The chiral origami superstructure nozzle is mainly used in fields such as space, aviation, and machinery that require light weight and high strength, and can achieve good vibration reduction and provide effective vibration reduction flexibility. Compared with the traditional corrugated structure, the chiral origami superstructure has a more excellent vibration reduction effect, especially forming a significant bandgap in the low-frequency and mid-frequency ranges, verifying the advantages of chiral design for vibration control. This design method provides new possibilities for vibration reduction applications in specific frequency ranges, and can meet the vibration reduction requirements of different frequencies while having the advantages of low weight and high stiffness. Therefore, the chiral origami superstructure nozzle has high applicability.

[0017] The objective of the present invention is to explore its dynamic and bandgap characteristics, especially the application potential in vibration control. By establishing the dynamic model of this structure and combining finite element analysis and numerical simulation, the characteristics such as the natural modes, transmission loss, and bandgap distribution of this superstructure at different frequencies are studied. Meanwhile, special attention is paid to the influence of the twist angle of the chiral structure on the bandgap frequency range and width, with a view to achieving flexible control of the bandgap position by adjusting the twist angle. This design method provides new possibilities for vibration reduction applications in specific frequency ranges, and can meet the vibration reduction requirements at different frequencies while having the advantages of low weight and high stiffness, making it suitable for applications in fields such as space, aviation, and machinery that require light weight and high strength.

[0018] By designing the main structure of the columnar shell nozzle through a new configuration, the characteristics of this superstructure in terms of mechanics and vibration reduction performance can be regulated. The present invention proposes a chiral origami superstructure nozzle for vibration control. This new structure is a cylindrical chiral superstructure composed of rods, and mainly explores the characteristics of this superstructure in terms of mechanics and vibration reduction performance, especially its performance in vibration control and vibration reduction. Meanwhile, the present invention also systematically analyzes the key parameters such as the natural frequency, modal vibration mode, and transmission loss of this chiral origami superstructure by establishing the dynamic equation of this structure and combining finite element analysis and numerical simulation.

[0019] In the chiral origami superstructure nozzle for low-frequency vibration reduction of the present invention, multiple bandgap regions are formed in the chiral origami superstructure in the frequency range of 0 - 1500 Hz. In these frequency ranges, the vibration transmission is significantly suppressed, showing good vibration reduction performance.

[0020] The twist angle of the chiral oscillator in the present invention significantly affects the bandgap position and width of the chiral origami superstructure nozzle: increasing the twist angle will increase the flexibility of the structure, shift the bandgap to the low-frequency region, and thus broaden the vibration reduction bandgap in the middle and high frequencies. This design of controlling the bandgap position by adjusting the twist angle provides flexibility for achieving effective vibration reduction in a specific frequency range.

[0021] After comparing with the traditional corrugated structure, it is found that the chiral origami superstructure of the present invention exhibits more excellent vibration reduction effect, especially significant bandgaps are formed in the low-frequency and middle-frequency ranges, further verifying the advantages of chiral design for vibration control.

[0022] The chiral origami superstructure nozzle, rotating blade, and rod structure in the present invention are all periodic superstructure materials. From the axial connection method, it can be expected that this structure has the characteristics of a negative Poisson's ratio structure. While having vibration reduction performance, it also has a certain axial load-bearing capacity. Description of the Drawings

[0037] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0038] Specific implementation method 1: Combination Figures 1 to 14 The present embodiment is described. The chiral origami superstructure tube for vibration control described in the present embodiment comprises a plurality of superstructure unit cells 1, wherein the plurality of superstructure unit cells 1 are arranged in sequence from top to bottom along the axial direction, and each two adjacent superstructure unit cells 1 are connected by a group of unit cell connecting rods 2. The superstructure unit cell 1 comprises a plurality of unit cells 3 arranged along the circumferential direction, and the upper ends of the unit cells 3 are twisted counterclockwise, and the upper inner lobe angle of each unit cell 3 and the lower inner lobe angle of the adjacent unit cell 3 and the upper outer lobe angle of each unit cell 3 and the lower outer lobe angle of the adjacent unit cell 3 are connected respectively by unit cell connecting rods 4.

[0039] Through sophisticated microstructure design, chiral superstructures achieve mechanical properties that traditional materials cannot have, such as negative Poisson's ratio, negative refractive index, and vibration-damping band gap, which makes them show great potential in vibration control and fluctuation management. Reasonable design of chiral structures can achieve vibration suppression within a specific frequency range. At the same time, it involves adjusting structural parameters without changing the overall shape to meet the vibration reduction requirements under different working conditions.

[0040] Chiral structures usually have rotational symmetry and specific geometric arrangements. The rotating blades also have the deformation characteristics of chiral structures, and can transform deformation into rotational deformation when subjected to axial force. Unit cells are arranged in the same plane and connected to form superstructure unit cells using rods with the same parameters. The unit cells are arranged vertically.

[0041] It can exhibit a negative Poisson's ratio effect when loaded. This property provides new possibilities for vibration control. By designing a reasonable chiral structure, vibration suppression within a specific frequency range can be achieved, making it have important application potential in the field of vibration reduction.

[0042] The structural design of the chiral superstructure can also adjust the structural parameters without changing the overall shape, thereby meeting the vibration reduction requirements under different working conditions.

[0043] The superstructure is a cylindrical chiral superstructure formed by artificially periodically arranging six chiral oscillators composed of rods, i.e., six superstructure unit cells 1. The chiral structure has rotational symmetry and a specific geometric arrangement. The superstructure has a double period, and four chiral oscillators, i.e., four unit cells 3, are arranged in the circumferential direction, and six chiral oscillators are arranged in the axial direction.

[0044] The shape of the described superstructure unit cell is similar to an origami structure. The unit cells form a spatial four-term chiral structure in the same layer, enhancing the vertical load-bearing performance while retaining the characteristic of contracting and deforming towards the center of the circle.

[0045] The described four-term chiral superstructure unit cell is an unstable chiral origami frame structure. When subjected to axial deformation, it will be transformed into torsional deformation by the chiral structure unit, so it does not satisfy the typical deformation characteristics of a truss. Considering the members in it as two-force members cannot accurately describe its deformation characteristics.

[0046] The typical deformation characteristics of a truss are as follows: The members in a truss mainly bear axial forces, either tensile or compressive forces. Therefore, the deformation is mainly axial elongation or shortening. The joints of a truss are the parts where the members are connected, and the deformation at the joints is relatively concentrated. The deformation of a truss has overall coordination, that is, the deformations of each member affect each other and jointly maintain the balance of the structure. In an ideal situation, the members of a truss mainly bear axial forces and have relatively small bending deformations. A truss is more sensitive to lateral loads such as wind loads and seismic loads. The deformation of a truss is closely related to the stiffness of the members. Temperature changes will cause thermal expansion and contraction deformation of the truss. These characteristics make it necessary to comprehensively consider various factors during the design and use of a truss to ensure the safety and stability of the structure.

[0047] The described superstructure nozzle has periodicity along the axial direction. The axial period is m, which is a double period. There are 4-term chiral superstructure unit cell structures arranged along the circumference of the pipeline, and this arrangement has the characteristic of a periodic structural bandgap. m = 6 to achieve a significant vibration reduction effect of the artificial periodic structure.

[0048] The described superstructure nozzle has the characteristics of a negative Poisson's ratio structure. A negative Poisson's ratio structure refers to a structure that exhibits deformation behavior opposite to that of conventional materials when subjected to tension or compression. Specifically, when the material is stretched, its transverse direction will expand; when compressed, its transverse direction will contract. While having vibration reduction performance, it also has a certain axial load-bearing capacity. It can improve the axial vibration reduction performance of a cylindrical structure and better meet the specific requirements of a reciprocating diaphragm pump for low-frequency vibration reduction. The hydraulic end of a reciprocating diaphragm pump is applied to a cylindrical shell nozzle.

[0049] The inner diameter of the described chiral origami superstructure nozzle for vibration control is d, where 8.55 mm ≤ d ≤ 8.85 mm, and the outer diameter is D, where 5.43 mm ≤ D - d ≤ 6.00 mm. It has the functions of connection, vibration reduction, and support.

[0050] Compared with the traditional corrugated structure, the chiral origami superstructure has a more excellent vibration reduction effect, especially forming a significant bandgap in the low-frequency and medium-frequency ranges, verifying the advantages of chiral design for vibration control.

[0051] The chiral origami superstructure in the chiral origami superstructure for low-frequency vibration reduction forms multiple band gap regions in the frequency range of 0-1500Hz. The vibration transmission is significantly suppressed in these frequency ranges, showing good vibration reduction performance.

[0052] Bandgap manipulation refers to the vibration distribution of the six-period chiral origami superstructure at different frequencies to illustrate the vibration transfer properties of the bandgap and passband.

[0053] The vibration distribution conditions at different frequencies include: a first vibration distribution at a frequency of 290 Hz, which is within the low frequency range; a second vibration distribution at a frequency of 750 Hz within the Bragg scattering band gap; and a vibration distribution at 1047 Hz within the passband range.

[0054] The vibration transfer properties are as follows: when calculating the transmission loss of the input and output of the structure, polylactic acid PLA is selected as the material, the sweep frequency range is selected as 0-1500Hz, the boundary is a free boundary condition, the bottom node is the excitation input end, and the top arbitrary node is the displacement response end.

[0055] The band gaps included in the band gap regulation are A, B and C. The change in the law of the band gap is that when the rotation angle of the chiral oscillator is increased, the width of the band gap in the medium and high frequencies can be regulated. On the contrary, when the rotation angle is reduced, the width of the low-frequency band gap will be increased. Structures with high flexibility are more likely to produce vibration reduction effects at medium and high frequencies. The rotation angle of the chiral oscillator has an impact on the band gap regulation. The rotation angles are 25° and 35° respectively. Increasing the rotation angle will increase the flexibility of the structure and shift the band gap to the low-frequency region, thereby widening the vibration reduction band gap in the medium and high frequencies.

[0056] Specific implementation method 2: Combination Figures 5 to 6 To illustrate this embodiment, in this embodiment, between every two adjacent superstructure unit cells 1, the upper inner lobe angle and the lower inner lobe angle of the upper unit cell 3 are connected to the lower outer lobe angle of the adjacent unit cell 3 in the axial direction respectively through a unit cell connecting rod 2.

[0080] The working principle of the bandgap regulation of the chiral origami superstructure nozzle for vibration control of the present invention includes:

[0081] The chiral origami superstructure forms multiple bandgap regions in the frequency range of 0 - 1500 Hz. In these frequency ranges, the vibration transmission is significantly suppressed, showing good vibration damping performance. Increasing the twist angle will increase the flexibility of the structure, shift the bandgap to the low-frequency region, and thus broaden the vibration damping bandgap in the medium and high frequencies.

[0082] The present invention utilizes the delicate microstructure design of chiral superstructures to achieve mechanical properties that traditional materials do not possess, such as negative Poisson's ratio, negative refractive index, vibration damping band gaps, etc., showing great potential in vibration control and wave management. Chiral structures usually have rotational symmetry and specific geometric arrangements, and can exhibit the negative Poisson's ratio effect when loaded. This property provides new possibilities for vibration control. By designing a reasonable chiral structure, vibration suppression in a specific frequency range can be achieved, making it have important application potential in the field of vibration damping. The structural design of chiral superstructures can also adjust the structural parameters without changing the overall shape, so as to meet the vibration damping requirements under different working conditions. It not only provides a new idea for the application of chiral origami superstructures in the low-frequency vibration damping of the hydraulic end of reciprocating diaphragm pumps, but also reveals the negative Poisson's ratio characteristics and multi-band vibration damping potential of this structure, providing an innovative and efficient reference solution for the requirements of vibration damping and wave control in engineering.

[0083] In the above specific implementation manners, the dynamics and band gap characteristics of the chiral origami superstructure will be explored, especially its application potential in vibration control. By establishing the dynamic model of this structure and combining finite element analysis and numerical simulation, the natural modes, transmission loss, and band gap distribution and other characteristics of this superstructure at different frequencies are studied.

[0084] In addition, the influence of the twist angle of the chiral structure on the band gap frequency range and width is studied, with the expectation of flexibly controlling the band gap position by adjusting the twist angle. This design method provides new possibilities for vibration damping applications in specific frequency ranges, and can have the advantages of low weight and high stiffness while meeting the vibration damping requirements at different frequencies.

[0085] To sum up, based on the simplification of chiral rotating blades, a new configuration design of the main structure of the cylindrical nozzle is carried out. The new structure is a cylindrical chiral superstructure composed of rods, and the characteristics of this superstructure in terms of mechanics and vibration damping performance are explored, especially its performance in vibration control and vibration damping.

[0086] By establishing the dynamic equation of this structure and combining finite element analysis and numerical simulation, systematic analysis of the key parameters such as the natural frequency, modal vibration mode, and transmission loss of this chiral origami superstructure is carried out. The band gap position and width are significantly affected by the twist angle of the chiral oscillator. This design of controlling the band gap position by adjusting the twist angle provides flexibility for achieving effective vibration damping in a specific frequency range.

[0087] After comparing with the traditional corrugated structure, it is found that the chiral origami superstructure shows more excellent vibration damping effect, especially forming significant band gaps in the low-frequency and mid-frequency ranges, further verifying the advantages of chiral design for vibration control. The consistency between the simulation results and the numerical solutions also proves the accuracy of this dynamic model, providing a reliable basis for subsequent optimization.
