Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolators, and more particularly to a method for debugging a compact horizontal constant-value quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator. Background Technology
[0002] Quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolators are a new type of vibration isolation device with significant application potential in fields such as precision instruments. Their core principle involves combining positive stiffness elements (such as common linear springs, providing stable elastic support) with negative stiffness mechanisms (such as pre-compression springs generating negative stiffness through pre-compression, magnetic systems achieving negative stiffness through magnetic pole action, and mechanical levers forming negative stiffness through mechanical conversion). Within a specific operating range, the positive and negative stiffnesses precisely cancel each other out, forming a "quasi-zero stiffness" state. This design allows the isolator to maintain low stiffness characteristics even near static conditions, effectively reducing the system's natural frequency and thus achieving highly efficient and reliable vibration isolation across a wide frequency range from low to ultra-low frequencies.
[0003] A search revealed that application publication number CN117722466A discloses a horizontally oriented, fully tension-spring-loaded, negative-stiffness, quasi-zero-stiffness vibration isolation structure and its debugging method. Specifically, the vibration isolation structure includes a main body and an auxiliary mechanism. The main body provides quasi-zero stiffness characteristics in the horizontal direction, while the auxiliary mechanism simulates constant force characteristics in the horizontal direction. Both the main body and the auxiliary mechanism include negative-stiffness and positive-stiffness mechanisms, which are connected in parallel. The negative-stiffness mechanisms are symmetrical about the longitudinal direction, and the second diagonal braces are arranged in a cross configuration, with the ends of the intersecting second diagonal braces connected by negative-stiffness tension springs. However, this prior art uses four second diagonal braces, resulting in a large number of parts and hindering miniaturization.
[0004] In summary, the technical problem that needs to be solved is how to design a small and compact quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, which has a large number of parts and a large volume, and to provide a method for debugging a compact horizontal constant-value quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0014] S1.3, Plot f1-x1 of the constant-value quasi-zero stiffness element based on the parametric conditions of the quasi-zero stiffness characteristic, where f1 is the applied force on the constant-value quasi-zero stiffness element. When the time-constant quasi-zero stiffness element is in static equilibrium, determine whether it meets the design requirements for bearing capacity and vibration isolation frequency band. If it does not meet the design requirements, repeat steps S1.1 to S1.3.
[0015] The debugging method for the constant force unit is as follows:
[0016] S2.1, Determine the dimensionless pre-compression of the second vertical elastic element in the initial state. The vertical projection length a2 and dimensionless projection length of the second inclined rod The stiffness ratio α2 of the second vertical elastic element and the second horizontal elastic element, and the displacement x2 of the second hinge point from its initial position, yield the dimensionless applied force acting on the constant force element. and dimensionless stiffness The expression:
[0017]
[0018] in,

[0020] S2.3, Plot the force-displacement curve f2-x2 based on the parametric conditions of the quasi-zero stiffness characteristics of the constant force element, where f2 is the applied force applied by the constant force element. The time-constant quasi-zero stiffness element is in static equilibrium position. If the static equilibrium position is not satisfied, repeat steps S2.1 to S2.3.

The first horizontal elastic element 10 can be a first helical spring, and the first vertical elastic element 12 can be a third helical spring. The first and third helical springs are sleeved on a guide rod, which supports and prevents radial buckling instability caused by axial (horizontal) forces. The first inclined rod 11 and the first vertical elastic element 12 generate negative stiffness in the horizontal direction, and are connected in parallel with the first horizontal elastic element 10 in the horizontal direction, producing quasi-zero stiffness characteristics in the horizontal direction.
[0044] The constant force unit includes a second horizontal elastic element 20, a second inclined rod 21, and a second vertical elastic element 22. One end of the second horizontal elastic element 20 is fixed to the fixed frame, and the other end is hinged to one end of the second inclined rod 21 at a second hinge point 23. The other end of the second inclined rod 21 is hinged to one end of the second vertical elastic element 22 at the second hinge point 23, and the other end of the second vertical elastic element 22 is fixed to the fixed frame. The second vertical elastic element 22 performs reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction. During operation, the second vertical elastic element 22 remains vertical. The second horizontal elastic element 20 can be a second helical spring, and the second vertical elastic element 22 can be a fourth helical spring. The second and fourth helical springs are sleeved on the guide rod, which supports and prevents radial buckling instability caused by axial (horizontal) forces. The second inclined rod 21 and the second vertical elastic element 22 generate negative stiffness in the horizontal direction, and are connected in parallel with the second horizontal elastic element 20 in the horizontal direction, producing quasi-zero stiffness characteristics in the horizontal direction.
[0045] The first horizontal elastic element 10 and the second elastic element are located on the same horizontal line. The first hinge point 13 and the second hinge point 23 are connected by a connecting rod with a length of l0.
