Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of urban rail transit technology, and in particular to an integrated composite isolation wall that combines active isolation, passive attenuation, and energy recovery. Background Technology
[0002] The operation of urban rail transit can cause long-term vibrations, which may lead to structural damage such as cracks and foundation settlement in buildings along the line, threatening building safety. In addition, when the rail line passes through residential areas, the vibrations can also disturb residents' lives, so effective vibration control measures must be taken.
[0003] Currently, various combined vibration reduction and isolation design schemes have emerged in the field of rail transit vibration control. For example, Chinese invention patent application CN117569125A proposes a rail transit vibration reduction structure, which replaces rubber damping rings by installing the entire vibration reduction structure under the track, thus providing vibration reduction for rail transit. Chinese invention patent application CN117306319A proposes a rail vibration reduction mechanism based on rail transit. This mechanism improves stability by setting a connection method between the sliding plate and the ball bearing plate, enhances the vibration reduction effect at the bottom of the ball bearing plate by adding rubber pads, and completes the vibration reduction mechanism by incorporating damping spring columns and a sleeve structure. This reduces friction between the train and the track, while also increasing the service life of the track. These designs significantly improve the suppression of low-frequency, high-amplitude vibrations through optimized mechanical configuration.
[0004] However, existing technologies still have three key limitations: First, passive control mechanisms are difficult to dynamically adapt to complex and ever-changing vibration spectrum characteristics; second, the control dimension is singular, mainly targeting longitudinal track vibration while ignoring multi-directional coupled vibration; and finally, effective recovery and utilization of vibration energy has not been achieved.
[0005] In contrast, magnetorheological dampers, with their millisecond-level response speed and continuously adjustable damping force, have achieved significant results in automotive vibration reduction. However, rail transit vibrations have unique operating characteristics: vibration amplitudes can be 5-10 times that of automotive vibrations, the dominant frequencies are concentrated in the low-frequency range of 0.5-10Hz, and the vibration sources involve the coupling effects of multiple factors such as wheel-rail coupling and track irregularities. Therefore, existing designs still struggle to meet the active seismic resistance requirements of rail transit. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0071] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the technical solutions of the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments involved in this invention. All non-innovative embodiments based on this invention by other researchers in the art are within the protection scope of this invention.
[0072] Example 1
[0073] An integrated composite isolation wall combining active isolation, passive attenuation, and energy recovery is provided. It is formed by connecting several sets of vibration control structures and suppresses train track vibration by constructing a multi-level vibration control system with active and passive coordination.
[0074] Each set of vibration control structures, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes core components such as: magnetorheological damping unit 1, linear motor displacement control unit 2, passive vibration control module 3, bottom support element 4, top cover module 5, and connecting latch 6.
[0075] This embodiment combines the active adjustment capabilities of the magnetorheological damping unit 1 and the linear motor displacement control unit 2 with the adaptive vibration suppression characteristics of the passive vibration control module 3. By constructing an active-passive coordinated multi-level vibration control strategy, a complete vibration control system is formed, thereby ensuring stable operation of the track under vibration environments of different frequencies and amplitudes, effectively suppressing track vibration, and improving overall safety and durability.
[0076] In terms of active control, high-precision active vibration regulation is achieved through the magnetorheological damping unit 1 and the linear motor displacement control unit 2. The magnetorheological damping unit 1, based on the characteristic of magnetorheological fluid changing its flow resistance under the action of an electromagnetic field, adjusts the input current in real time to change the damping characteristics of the magnetorheological fluid, providing a controllable damping force opposite to the vibration, dynamically suppressing medium- and high-frequency vibrations under different operating conditions. Simultaneously, the linear motor displacement control unit 2, according to system commands, uses electromagnetic force to drive the roller track, achieving precise displacement control, actively compensating for external disturbances, effectively offsetting the macroscopic displacement of the track structure, and improving the system's response speed and control accuracy.
[0077] In terms of passive control, the passive vibration control module 3 serves as the foundation of the system, continuously dissipating vibration energy and bearing the main static load; its internal shear resistance elements and flexible materials work together to enhance the system's impact resistance and multi-directional stability, ensuring that the foundation still has vibration reduction capabilities when active control is not activated or is abnormal.
[0078] In the passive vibration control module 3, the rigid vibration isolation element 3-2-1 is made of metal or concrete, providing necessary structural support and high-frequency vibration isolation capability; the flexible embedded vibration damping element 3-2-2 utilizes the deformation energy absorption characteristics of polymer materials to effectively attenuate low- and medium-frequency vibrations and reduce the propagation of vibrations into the system; the shear resistance element 3-3 is composed of outer and inner springs, used to provide additional shear resistance, reduce the deformation of the track system under lateral impact or foundation settlement, optimize the damping path, and improve the vibration attenuation effect.
[0079] Finally, the vibration control system combines real-time precise adjustment of active control with energy dissipation and propagation blocking of passive control to form a multi-level vibration control strategy. This strategy can cover a wide range of vibration control capabilities, from small high-frequency vibrations to large low-frequency vibrations, significantly improving the stability, anti-interference ability and service life of the track system.
[0080] Furthermore, the bottom support element 4 is an integrally molded structure, which provides a stable basic support platform for the entire vibration control system, while also having a certain structural expansion capability.
[0081] Top cover module 5 covers the entire vibration control structure.
[0082] The connecting latch 6 is used to extend the length of the bottom support element 4 and the top cover module 5 in the track running direction, and to extend the length of the vibration control system, ensuring that the vibration control system can be length-adjusted as needed to adapt to the installation requirements of different track structures.
[0083] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the magnetorheological damping unit 1 includes: a working cylinder 1-1, an electromagnetic coil 1-2, an L-shaped connecting component 1-3, a piston 1-4, a square connecting component 1-5, a piston rod 1-6, a magnetorheological fluid 1-7, and an outer protective cylinder 1-8, used to realize real-time active control of the train track system.
[0084] The working cylinder 1-1 is made of stainless steel and has a hollow cuboid structure. It provides overall structural support and sealing space to ensure the stable operation of internal moving parts and the closed flow of magnetorheological fluid.
[0085] The piston 1-4 can slide axially inside the working cylinder 1-1, dividing the internal space of the cylinder into two independent working chambers, upper and lower.
[0086] Magnetorheological fluids 1-7 are formed by uniformly dispersing nano-sized iron particles in mineral oil and filling the channel between the upper and lower working chambers. Under the action of an external magnetic field, their rheological properties (such as viscosity) change rapidly, thereby adjusting the flow resistance and realizing the rapid and controllable adjustment of the damping force. This magnetorheological effect is the core of realizing the real-time active control in this embodiment.
[0087] The electromagnetic coil 1-2 is wound around the outside of the piston 1-4 and is made of copper wire. It can generate an adjustable magnetic field to excite the magnetorheological fluid response under the control of the current input. The electromagnetic coil is surrounded by a rubber sealing layer for protection, preventing damage to the coil from external environmental factors such as moisture and dust.
[0088] The piston rod 1-6 is made of high-strength alloy material and is fixed to the upper end of the piston 1-4 by threaded connection. It is used to transmit the mechanical load applied during train operation and effectively convert the load into controllable resistance through the damping system.
[0089] Both the L-shaped connecting component 1-3 and the square connecting component 1-5 are made of high-strength alloy. The L-shaped connecting component 1-3 is used to fix the working cylinder 1-1, and its end is connected to the passive vibration control module 3 by screws to realize the connection of the fixed end and the optimization of the vibration transmission path.
[0090] One end of the square connecting component 1-5 is welded to the piston rod 1-6, and the other end is connected to the passive vibration control module 3 mentioned above by screws, thereby realizing the mechanical coupling of the moving end.
[0091] The outer protective sleeves 1-8 are made of high-temperature and corrosion-resistant composite materials, which completely cover the outer surface of the magnetorheological damping unit 1 to improve the structure's environmental adaptability, impact resistance and long service life.
[0092] In this embodiment, the magnetorheological damping unit 1 generates a magnetorheological effect through the compact and highly responsive magnetorheological fluid 1-7 units, as well as electromagnetic control and mechanical connection structures, to achieve active adjustment of the dynamic response of the track system, which can significantly improve the vibration resistance and running stability of the composite isolation wall during train operation.
[0093] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the linear motor displacement control unit 2 includes: a displacement control linear motor element 2-1, a displacement sensor 2-2, a data communication interface 2-3, a roller 2-4, and a roller track 2-5, which are used to precisely adjust the displacement of the system and realize active vibration control.
[0094] Among them, the displacement control linear motor element 2-1 is used to generate linear driving force, and outputs linear motion along a fixed direction based on the principle of electromagnetic force, driving the overall structure to make precise displacement.
[0095] The displacement sensor 2-2 is installed inside or outside the displacement control linear motor element 2-1 to acquire displacement status information in real time and transmit the information through the data communication interface 2-3.
[0096] Data communication interfaces 2-3 are used to receive external control signals and communicate with the host computer or main control system to realize parameter setting, status reading and operation command issuance.
[0097] Specifically, the upper surface of the displacement control linear motor element 2-1 is connected to the passive vibration control module 3 to construct a master-slave integrated composite vibration isolation structure; the lower surface of the displacement control linear motor element 2-1 is slidably connected to the roller track 2-5 via the roller 2-4 to achieve flexible coupling and linear guidance with the track system.
[0098] Furthermore, rollers 2-4 are made of high-strength alloy materials to improve wear resistance and load-bearing capacity. Driven by a roller control motor, they can make precise displacement adjustments along the roller track, ensuring the stability and response speed of the system.
[0099] The roller track 2-5 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the bottom support element. Its main function is to provide precise guidance for the roller movement, so that the roller can slide smoothly along the set path.
[0100] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the passive vibration control module 3 includes: a connecting and fixing element 3-1, a passive vibration control unit 3-2, and a shear resistance element 3-3, which are used to provide efficient passive vibration control in the train track structure.
[0101] The passive vibration control unit 3-2 includes a rigid vibration isolation element 3-2-1 and a flexible embedded vibration damping element 3-2-2.
[0102] The rigid vibration isolation element 3-2-1 is a hollow cuboid structure made of high-rigidity materials such as metal or concrete. It has high load-bearing capacity and vibration isolation stiffness and is used to provide structural support and isolation from external impacts.
[0103] The flexible embedded vibration damping element 3-2-2 is filled inside the rigid vibration isolation element 3-2-1. It is made of elastic polyurethane, rubber composite or other high-damping elastic materials, and has good deformation capacity and energy absorption performance. It can undergo controllable deformation under vibration load, absorb and attenuate external vibration energy, thereby reducing the vibration response of the structure.
[0104] Shear resistance element 3-3 is disposed between passive vibration control unit 3-2 to provide additional shear strength and auxiliary vibration absorption function.
[0105] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the shear resistance element 3-3 includes: an outer compression spring 3-3-1, an inner compression spring 3-3-2, a fixed base 3-3-3, an anti-shear element 3-3-4, and a high-strength screw 3-3-5.
[0106] Among them, the outer compression spring 3-3-1 and the inner compression spring 3-3-2 are respectively set on both sides of the shear element 3-3-4. Under the action of external shear force, they further dissipate energy through elastic deformation and enhance the vibration resistance of the overall system.
[0107] The fixed base 3-3-3 is used for fixed connection with the track structure or other modular components, while the high-strength screws 3-3-5 are used for rigid connection between the components to ensure the overall structural integrity of the module.
[0108] Furthermore, in this embodiment, there are four passive vibration control units 3-2 and four connecting and fixing elements 3-1. The passive vibration control units 3-2 are connected to two connecting and fixing elements 3-1 on both sides by several shear resistance elements 3-3.
[0109] Four passive vibration control units 3-2 are connected to four connecting and fixing elements 3-1 in a mutually perpendicular spatial arrangement, forming an overall modular structure and a composite unit with the synergistic effect of flexible material vibration reduction and rigid material vibration isolation, namely the passive vibration control module 3.
[0110] In this embodiment, the passive vibration control module 3 effectively disperses, isolates, and absorbs vibration energy through a rigid-flexible structural design in the vibration transmission path, significantly improving the structural stability and safety performance of the track system under external disturbances such as seismic waves and train running loads.
[0111] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the top cover module 5 includes: a rubber cover plate 5-1, an optical fiber displacement monitoring element 5-2, and a piezoelectric conversion circuit 5-3.
[0112] The top cover module 5 is located above the passive vibration control module 3, at the top of the entire vibration control structure. It is used to protect key internal components, improve the connection performance with the track, and realize the sensing of system operating status and energy recovery functions.
[0113] Among them, the rubber cover plate 5-1 is made of high elastic rubber material, which has excellent wear resistance, waterproof and cushioning performance. It is set on the outermost layer of the module to cover and protect the internal structure of the entire vibration control system, avoid damage caused by external mechanical impact, water vapor, dust and other factors, and can achieve structural integration by tightly fitting with the bottom of the track.
[0114] The fiber optic displacement monitoring element 5-2 is embedded in the surface or inside of the rubber cover plate 5-1. It adopts fiber optic grating (FBG) sensing technology and can perform high-sensitivity real-time monitoring of minute track displacements caused by train operation.
[0115] In this embodiment, the fiber optic displacement monitoring element 5-2 senses minute strains by changing the wavelength of the optical signal, perceives track vibration in real time, and feeds the displacement data back to the control system. The control system analyzes the vibration spectrum and amplitude characteristics and adjusts the stiffness and damping parameters of the vibration control system to effectively reduce the vibration amplitude of the train track. At the same time, its flexible embedded design ensures compatibility with rubber materials and does not affect the overall surface performance.
[0116] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, the piezoelectric conversion circuit 5-3 includes: a piezoelectric conversion element 5-3-1, a silicone buffer layer between piezoelectric elements 5-3-2, an energy harvesting circuit 5-3-3, an energy harvesting backup circuit 5-3-4, a voltmeter 5-3-5, a switch 5-3-6, an aluminum-plastic composite film 5-3-7, a multi-channel signal aggregation module 5-3-8, and a parallel rectifier circuit 5-3-9.
[0117] In this embodiment, the piezoelectric conversion circuit 5-3 is used to capture the mechanical energy generated by the entire vibration control structure during vibration and convert it into electrical energy to replenish the energy of the monitoring unit or control system, thereby achieving partial energy recovery.
[0118] Among them, the piezoelectric conversion element 5-3-1 uses piezoelectric ceramic sheets embedded in the rubber cover plate 5-1 in a hexagonal sheet structure combination. The sheet electrode surface is arranged parallel to the track plane. Through the hexagonal honeycomb array layout, the conversion surface area can be significantly increased, effectively capturing the track vibration energy in the 1-100Hz frequency band.
[0119] Preferably, in this embodiment, a PZT-5H piezoelectric ceramic sheet in d33 mode is used.
[0120] Preferably, adjacent piezoelectric ceramic sheets are interconnected by laser welding with 0.3mm silicone-coated silver wires. The welding points are encapsulated with polyurethane. After vibration testing (EN 61373) verifies that the conductivity stability is >99.5%, the sheets are put into engineering use.
[0121] A silicone buffer layer 5-3-2 is used to fill the gap between adjacent piezoelectric ceramic sheets. It is made of Shore A50 hardness silicone material and is formed by vacuum injection molding, which effectively reduces mechanical crosstalk.
[0122] The energy harvesting circuit 5-3-3 is used as the main circuit and is configured in parallel. Multiple parallel circuits reduce the load on individual circuits, decrease the risk of single-point failures, and allow for flexible configuration and adjustment to meet energy conversion requirements under different vibration conditions.
