AI Technical Summary
Traditional viscous dampers have a narrow frequency adaptation range and weak multi-modal control capabilities in bridge structures for water transportation, making it difficult to effectively control cantilever vibrations within a wide frequency domain. There is a risk of resonance, especially under extreme wind and wave conditions.
A hybrid vibration reduction device is used, combining a diagonal brace damper and a gyro vibration reduction device. The diagonal brace damper consumes energy during low-frequency vibration, while the gyro vibration reduction device provides a counter-torque to suppress vibration during high-frequency vibration. Multi-band control is achieved by driving the gyro to rotate through a motor.
Effective vibration reduction of the bridge structure is achieved in a wide frequency range. It can not only give full play to the advantages of the diagonal brace damper during low-frequency vibration, but also provide counter-torque suppression through the gyroscopic vibration reduction device during high-frequency vibration, thereby improving the frequency adaptability and multi-modal control capability of the device and reducing the risk of resonance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of bridge structure vibration reduction in civil engineering, and in particular relates to a cantilever multi-frequency controlled vibration absorber used for water transportation of bridge structures. Background Art
[0002] Floating construction, a primary method of bridge construction, is subject to dynamic loads such as wind and waves during water transport, which can easily induce cantilever vibration in bridge structures. When the vibration amplitude exceeds a critical value, it not only significantly reduces structural stability but also compromises construction safety and structural integrity. Current engineering practices primarily employ dampers to suppress cantilever vibration responses, with tuned mass dampers (TMDs) and viscous dampers being the most widely used.
[0003] Tuned mass dampers, consisting of a mass-spring-damper system, offer the advantages of easy installation and maintenance, and minimal structural disturbance. However, their frequency sensitivity means that a single device can only control specific vibration orders, and multimodal vibration requires the coordinated operation of multiple devices. Viscous dampers, on the other hand, dissipate energy through the viscous effect of liquids. They feature a simple structure and outstanding reliability, and have been highly successful in the fields of buildings, bridges, and mechanical equipment, particularly in controlling low-frequency vibrations. However, viscous dampers have limitations in their frequency response. Specifically, the linear relationship between damping force and velocity results in insufficient response at high frequencies, while excessive damping force at low frequencies can hinder structural deformation. This uneven frequency response restricts their application in broadband vibration environments. This is particularly true for bridge structures used in water transportation, where complex and variable hydrological and meteorological conditions often result in wide-band, multimodally coupled wind and wave excitations. However, these damping devices generally suffer from a narrow frequency range and weak multimodal control capabilities. Especially when encountering the combined effects of typhoon surges and normal waves, these traditional damping devices struggle to achieve effective control across the entire frequency range, which can easily lead to structural resonance risks. Therefore, developing a new damping system with broadband adaptive characteristics has become a key technical challenge in ensuring the safety of large bridge structures in water transportation. Summary of the Invention

[0045] The specific implementation is as follows:
[0046] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the damping guide rod 5 defines a connecting hole 51, which is penetrated by the connecting rod 41 of the connecting seat 4.

The output end of the motor 12 is connected to the driving base 111. Bolt holes 1, 42, 43, 3, 44, and 45 are defined on one side of the bottom of each of the connectors 1 (4) and 2 (13). Bolt holes 5, 46, 6, 47, 7, 48, and 8, 49 are also defined on the other side of the bottom of each of the connectors 1 (4) and 2 (13).

The motor 12 drives the gyroscopic rod. 11 rotates at high speed, thereby driving the gyroscope 9 to rotate at high speed, the rotation speed of the gyroscope 9 is controlled by the knob 121, and the opening and closing of the gyro vibration reduction device 3 is controlled by the button 122. The low-frequency longitudinal vibration of the cantilever end of the bridge structure is covered by the diagonal brace viscous damper, and the advantages of easy installation and low cost of the original damping device are maintained. At the same time, the gyroscope vibration reduction device 3 is combined with the diagonal brace viscous damper, and the lateral reaction torque generated by the high-speed rotating gyroscope 9 is used to resist the high-frequency vibration positive torque generated by the strong wind and waves when the bridge structure is transported on water, thereby achieving the effect of high-frequency vibration reduction, thereby improving the functionality and versatility of the entire vibration reduction device.
