Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a composite negative stiffness mechanical connection device between structures and a method for determining multiple parameters, belonging to the field of structural vibration control. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasing density of urban buildings and the growing demand for the renovation and expansion of existing buildings, more and more structures need to be connected using connection devices to achieve the corresponding architectural and structural functions.

[0003] While traditional rigid connection devices have solved the problem of ensuring a secure connection between structures to some extent, they significantly alter the dynamic characteristics of the connected structures and have poor energy dissipation capabilities. With the continuous development of inter-structural connection devices, current devices generally employ flexible or energy-dissipating mechanisms. For example, CN202323418632.3 and CN202321298429.4 respectively provide a flexible inter-structural connection device and a vibration-damping inter-structural connection device. These devices can minimize the impact on the dynamic characteristics of the connected structures and possess a certain energy dissipation capability. However, these devices still cannot enable the connected structures to perform tuned vibration reduction functions, nor can they promote vibration reduction and energy dissipation, resulting in low vibration reduction efficiency for the connected structures.

[0044] Further, the force transmission device includes a guide rod 4, a large metal slider 5, a force guide rod A6, a force transmission rod 7, a small metal slider 19, and a force guide rod B21; the guide rod 4 passes through the large metal slider 5, and one end of the guide rod 4 serves as a first branch (the guide rod 4 enters the structure A25 through a round hole and is anchored to the structure A25); two force transmission rods 7 are parallel to the guide rod 4 and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the guide rod 4; one end of the two force transmission rods 7 is connected to the large metal slider 5 by a ball joint 12; the other end of the two force transmission rods 7 and the other end of the guide rod 4 serve as a second branch (the other end of the two force transmission rods 7 is connected to the end face connecting plate 10 by a ball joint 12 and connected to the structure B21 via an anchor bolt 22 through the end face connecting plate 10). 6. The other end of the guide rod 4 extends into a pre-made hole in structure B26 that can slide freely along the axial direction of the guide rod 4; the large metal slider 5 is perpendicular to the first branch on both sides, forming the third and fourth branches; the third and fourth branches have the same structural arrangement, each equipped with a guide rod A6, a small metal slider 19, and a guide rod B21; the guide rod A6 passes through the small metal slider 19 located in the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 16, and one end of the guide rod A6 is connected to the large metal slider 5 through a rotating hinge 11, while the other end of the guide rod A6 is connected to the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 16; one end of the guide rod B21 is connected to the end of the small metal slider 19 through a rotating hinge 11, while the other end of the guide rod B21 is connected to the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 17.

Specifically, the rotating shaft 13 of the rotating hinge 11 is connected to the large metal slider 5 via a connector 15, and the rotating shaft 13 is connected to the guide rod A6 via a bearing 14.

[0046] Furthermore, the large metal slider 5 is a cuboid or cube. Taking a cuboid as an example, four of its six faces are rectangles, and two are squares. One square face of the large metal slider is connected to the force transmission rod 7 via a ball joint 12.

The two opposite rectangular faces of the large metal slider 5 are connected to the force transmission rod A6 via rotating hinges 11. The small metal slider 19 is also a cuboid or cube.

[0047] Furthermore, both the pre-compression negative stiffness upper arm 16 and the pre-compression negative stiffness lower arm 17 include a pre-compression spring 1, a guide sleeve 2, and a guide slip 3.

[0050] refer to Figure 2 The guide sleeve 2 has a groove-shaped cross-section, and one guide groove is provided on the bottom surface and one on each of the two sides of the guide sleeve 2, for a total of three guide grooves.

[0051] Furthermore, the first and second connecting devices have the same structure, both including a lateral reaction plate 8 and a lateral enclosure plate 9 arranged in parallel and partially overlapping manner; one end of the lateral reaction plate 8 is connected to structure A25 through an end face connecting plate 10, and the other end of the lateral reaction plate 8 and one end of the lateral enclosure plate 9 are arranged in overlapping manner; a support rod 23 is installed on the outer side of the lateral reaction plate 8, and the inner side of the lateral reaction plate 8 is connected to one end cap of the preload spring 1 in the preload negative stiffness arm through a rotating hinge 11; the other end of the lateral enclosure plate 9 is connected to structure B26 through an end face connecting plate 10, and one end of the lateral enclosure plate 9 has a slot so that the horizontal sliding of the lateral enclosure plate 9 is not obstructed by the support rod 23 installed on the outer side of the lateral reaction plate 8.

[0052] Furthermore, the guide rod A6 is provided with an annular plate 20, and the annular plate 20 is provided with permanent magnets 24, so that the annular plate 20 and the small metal slider 19 have a first state of adsorption and a second state of separation. Multiple permanent magnets 24 are arranged in a ring array around the outer periphery of the guide rod A6.

[0053] Furthermore, the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 16 is provided with a limiting plate 18 to limit the movement of the small metal slider 19 along the axial direction of the guide rod A6; and the limiting plate 18 in the first negative stiffness generating device and the limiting plate 18 in the second negative stiffness generating device are arranged on the side of the two pre-compression negative stiffness arms 17 that are far apart.

[0054] For example, such as Figure 1 As shown, two spaced limiting plates 18 are installed in the guide sleeve 2 of the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 16 of the second negative stiffness generating device. One end of the limiting plate 18 is connected to the guide sleeve 2 of the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 16, and the other end of the limiting plate 18 is a free end.

[0055] The negative stiffness generation mechanism of the composite negative stiffness mechanical connection device between structures provided by the present invention is explained below:

[0056] Structures A25 and B26 from Figure 1 When the initial state shown shows horizontal relative deformation that has not reached the preset threshold, the force transmission rod 7 drives the large metal slider 5 to produce horizontal displacement, which in turn causes the preload spring 1 to generate a thrust on the large metal slider 5 through the guide rod A6. The vertical components of this thrust are balanced, and the horizontal component acts on the floor of structure B26 through the force transmission rod 7. The reaction force of this horizontal component is transmitted to the floor of structure A25 through the lateral reaction plate 8 and the support rod 23. At this time, the horizontal component generated by the preload negative stiffness arm 16 is the negative stiffness force between structure A25 and structure B26.

[0057] When the horizontal relative deformation between structure A25 and structure B26 reaches a preset threshold, the annular plate 20 contacts the small metal slider 19 and is attracted by the permanent magnet 24. When the horizontal relative deformation between structure A25 and structure B26 exceeds the preset threshold, the small metal slider 19 slides along the axial direction of the guide rod A6, thereby activating the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 17. After the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 17 is activated, the thrust generated by the pre-compression spring in the pre-compression negative stiffness arm is transmitted to the small metal slider 19 by the guide rod B21. The component of the thrust transmitted to the small metal slider 19 along the axial direction of the guide rod A6 is transmitted to the large metal slider 5, becoming a thrust on the large metal slider 5. The horizontal component of this thrust becomes part of the negative stiffness force between structure A25 and structure B26. At this time, the negative stiffness force between structure A25 and structure B26 is composed of the combined output forces of the pre-compression negative stiffness large arm 16 and the pre-compression negative stiffness arm 17.

[0058] As the horizontal relative deformation of structures A25 and B26 changes from exceeding a preset threshold range to falling below a preset threshold, the limiting plate 18 stops the small metal slider 19, thereby separating the annular plate 20 from the small metal slider 19. The pre-compressed negative stiffness upper arm and the pre-compressed negative stiffness lower arm no longer exert force together. At this point, only the force exerted by the pre-compressed negative stiffness upper arm serves as the negative stiffness force between structures A25 and B26.

[0059] The negative stiffness characteristic of this connecting device is mainly manifested as follows: when structure A25 and structure B26 are far apart, they generate mutual thrust; while when they are close together, they generate mutual tension.

[0060] When structure A25 and structure B26 undergo relative horizontal deformation not exceeding a preset threshold, the negative stiffness of the connecting device is obtained based on the relationship between the output force of the preloaded negative stiffness upper arm 16 and the relative horizontal deformation of structure A25 and structure B26; when structure A25 and structure B26 undergo relative horizontal deformation exceeding a preset threshold, the negative stiffness of the connecting device is obtained based on the relationship between the combined output force of the preloaded negative stiffness upper arm 16 and the preloaded negative stiffness lower arm 17 and the relative horizontal deformation of structure A25 and structure B26.

[0061] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a method for determining the parameters of a composite negative stiffness mechanical connection device between structures is provided, comprising:

[0062] S1. Determine the negative stiffness required for the connection device between structure A and structure B26, denoted as k. d .

[0063] S2. Based on the actual spatial conditions of structure A and structure B26, determine the constant length of the preloaded negative stiffness arm, denoted as L (equal to the sum of the compressed length of the preloaded spring 1 inside the preloaded negative stiffness arm and the length of the guide rod A).

[0064] S3. Based on the mechanism of negative stiffness generation of the preloaded negative stiffness boom, the following set of equations (1) to (7) are listed:

[0065] θ1+θ3=2θ2 (1)

[0066]

[0067] tanθ2=k d (4)

[0068]

[0069] C1=Δ+L (7)

[0070] Wherein, tanθ1 is the tangent of the line connecting the origin and the point of maximum output in the force-displacement curve of the preloaded negative stiffness boom, called the secant stiffness; tanθ3 is the initial stiffness of the force-displacement curve of the preloaded negative stiffness boom; x h0 This represents the horizontal coordinate of the intersection point of the force-displacement curve of the preloaded negative stiffness boom and the straight line with slope tanθ1 passing through the origin; F 1h (x h0) represents the maximum output force of the preloaded negative stiffness boom; Δ represents the pre-compression of the preloaded spring 1 in the preloaded negative stiffness boom; K represents the stiffness coefficient of the preloaded spring 1 in the preloaded negative stiffness boom; L represents the constant length of the preloaded negative stiffness boom, which is equal to the compressed length of the preloaded spring 1 plus the length of the guide rod A6. tanθ2 represents the negative stiffness required for the connection device between structure A and structure B26;

[0071] S4. Using equation set (1) to (7) as constraint equations, determine several combinations of K and Δ in the preloaded negative stiffness boom. Based on actual conditions, select one combination of K and Δ as the parameter of the preloaded spring 1 in the preloaded negative stiffness boom.

[0072] S5. From the following two equations (8) and (9), the intersection point of the preloaded negative stiffness boom force-displacement curve and the straight line with a slope of tanθ2 passing through the origin is obtained. This intersection point is denoted as (x hj ,F 1hj From this intersection information, the initial distance between the annular plate 20 and the small metal slider 19 is obtained, which is called the starting length l0 of the preloaded negative stiffness arm.

[0073] F 1h =tanθ2x h (8)

[0074]

[0075] Where, x h The horizontal coordinates of the large metal slider 5 relative to its original position (the large metal slider 5 is in Figure 1 The position at that time can be considered the original position), F 1h For the large metal slider 5 in x h At the location, the negative stiffness force is generated by the preloaded negative stiffness boom.

[0076] S6. Determine the constant length L of the preloaded negative stiffness arm based on the actual situation. x It is equal to the sum of the compressed length of the preloaded spring 1 in the preloaded negative stiffness forearm and the length of the guide rod B.

[0077] S7. The pre-compression amount of the pre-compression spring 1 in a pre-compression negative stiffness forearm is initially given as Δ. x .

[0078] S8, according to the following formula (10), the value of x is obtained. hj ~x h0 Within the range of required stiffness k d The difference F between the determined output force and the output force of the boom under preload negative stiffness. Δ .

[0079]

[0080] In the formula, x h0 The horizontal coordinate represents the intersection of the preloaded negative stiffness boom force-displacement curve and the straight line with slope tanθ1 passing through the origin.

[0081] S9. The horizontal output of the preloaded negative stiffness arm is written as shown in the following formula (11).
