Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of vibration isolators, in particular to a quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator with an intelligent control system. Background Art
[0002] During the operation of industrial equipment, vibration interference caused by mechanical moving parts or the external environment will not only affect the accuracy and stability of the equipment, but also cause structural fatigue, shortened lifespan, and even cause safety hazards. Therefore, vibration isolation technology, as an important means to ensure the smooth operation of equipment, has been widely used in precision processing equipment, electronic instruments, aerospace, and high-end manufacturing. In order to improve the vibration isolation effect, quasi-zero stiffness isolator structures with nonlinear characteristics have been gradually developed in recent years. Through designs close to the "zero stiffness" point, the system can still achieve good vibration isolation performance in the low frequency band, becoming an important direction for the optimization of vibration isolator structures. At the same time, integrated design combined with intelligent control systems has also become a technical trend to improve the response speed and adaptability of vibration isolators.
[0003] Existing quasi-zero stiffness isolators generally use series stiffness adjustment structures or parallel spring damping elements to achieve low-frequency vibration isolation. Their basic structure usually consists of main support structures, elastic elements, dampers and other components. A typical method includes using metal spring sheets that are symmetrically arranged in one direction or two directions to form an approximate "zero stiffness" point under a specific preload, thereby achieving low-frequency vibration isolation characteristics. In structural design, most of them construct mechanical models by fixing stiffness steel sheets, preloaded springs or nonlinear support mechanisms to achieve vibration isolation goals. However, the above structures mostly focus on theoretical stiffness adjustment, and in practical applications, they have limitations such as material fatigue, directional inconsistency, and slow response. In particular, metal elastic elements are prone to stiffness degradation or fatigue failure under long-term load conditions, affecting system reliability and long-term vibration isolation efficiency.
[0004] In addition, existing quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolators usually use a rigid connection in a single direction or an elastic vibration isolation structure composed of metal sheets. Although the theoretical design can achieve a vibration isolation effect within a specific frequency range, it relies on the metal structure to generate elastic restoring force. It is easily affected by metal fatigue and micro crack expansion during long-term use, resulting in a decrease in vibration isolation performance. Especially in a multi-directional vibration environment, the single-direction vibration isolation design cannot fully absorb and buffer disturbances from various dimensions, limiting its applicability in complex working conditions. Therefore, it is urgent to propose an innovative quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator structure that can achieve multi-directional vibration isolation, has stronger structural flexibility, and has higher fatigue resistance, so as to improve the vibration isolation efficiency and extend the service life of the system.

[0017] Working principle: When using the quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator, first install the shell to the column.
