Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vibration isolation device technology, and in particular to a composite double-layer air spring low-frequency vibration isolation device. Background Technology
[0002] Vibration is ubiquitous; all buildings contain various types of noise, such as people walking, elevator movement, surrounding vehicles, subway operation, and indoor air conditioning. These vibrations are transmitted throughout the building via columns and floors. For precision optical instruments and equipment, it is often necessary to reduce environmental vibration, providing a reliable low-frequency micro-vibration isolation system for large, ultra-precision instruments, and ensuring good stability and excellent frequencies away from the environment.
[0003] Traditional vibration isolation technology Vibration isolators with a load frequency that doubles the natural frequency have good vibration isolation effects. The natural frequency of the damper can be lowered by increasing its mass or reducing its stiffness. However, for vertical vibration isolation, sufficient stiffness is required to support the superstructure, so reducing stiffness is not feasible. Rubber air springs with auxiliary air chambers can achieve vibration isolation by adjusting the gas in the main and auxiliary air chambers, typically isolating frequencies above 2.0 Hz. However, they are not very effective at isolating vibrations around 1.0 Hz. Summary of the Invention

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a composite double-layer air spring low-frequency vibration isolation device is provided, which includes a main air spring 1, an outer cylindrical steel support 2, an intermediate support steel plate 3, a limiting device 4, an inner cylindrical steel support 5, a load mounting platform 6, an additional air spring 7, a lower support steel plate 8, an upper support steel plate 9, a throttle tube 10, a spring 11, an adjusting nut 12, a connecting rod 13, and a sliding piston 14.
[0021] The upper support steel plate 9, the lower support steel plate 8, and the outer cylindrical support 2 are integrated into one unit. The main air spring 1 is installed on the lower support steel plate 8, and the two are completely fixed together.
[0022] The main air spring 1 is connected to the middle support steel plate 3 above, and the middle support steel plate 3 is connected to the inner cylindrical steel support 5. The load installation platform 6 is on top.
[0023] Four additional air springs 7 are evenly distributed on the four corners of the intermediate support steel plate 3 and are fixed together. The upper surface of the additional air springs 7 is connected to the upper support steel plate 9 through adjusting nuts 12. The distance between the upper support steel plate 9 and the additional air springs 7 is adjusted by adjusting nuts 12.
[0024] A limiting device 4 is installed inside the outer cylindrical steel support, and an intermediate support steel plate 3 is located between the limiting devices 4. A low-stiffness spring 11 is installed between the limiting devices 4 and the intermediate support steel plate 3.
[0025] The bottom of the main air spring 1 is connected to the top of the four auxiliary air springs 7 via a throttle tube 10. The intermediate support steel plate 3 is limited by the limiting device 4 and the spring 11.
[0026] The throttling tube inlet is located at the main air spring 1 and the auxiliary air spring 7. The pressure difference between these two locations is the greatest, which can increase the fluid velocity and damping in the throttling tube.
[0027] The linkage design allows the main air chamber to better maintain pressure balance under external loads.
[0028] The sliding piston 14 is located in the groove at the bottom of the lower support steel plate 8, as shown in the reference. Figure 3 The connecting rod 13 is hinged to the outer cylindrical steel support 2 at point A, to the intermediate support steel plate 3 at position B, to the sliding piston 14 at position D, and to the connecting rod 13 at position C.
[0029] The distance from A to B is The radius of the arc BC is The radius of the sliding piston 14 is , Z is the vertical displacement of the outer cylindrical steel support 2, and Z is the vertical displacement of the intermediate support steel plate 3. The displacement of the slider 14 is obtained from the connecting rod 13.
[0030] The area of slider 14 is
[0031] The pressure change relationship in the main air chamber is as follows:
[0032] Current pressure in the main air chamber Initial pressure of main air chamber, specific heat capacity , Gas density, Main air chamber volume, The rate of change of the main air chamber volume. Z represents the vertical displacement of the outer cylindrical steel support 2, and Z represents the vertical displacement of the intermediate support steel plate 3. It's traffic.
[0033] From the above relationship, it can be seen that when relative motion When positive, it indicates that the main air chamber is compressed and there is no slider. As the denominator increases, the increased force will be transmitted to the upper structure, and at this time... The space can be increased by moving the slider, thereby reducing the space required. The increase of [something] can thus achieve the purpose of vibration isolation.
[0034] The pressure change relationship of the additional airbag is as follows:
[0035] Current pressure in the auxiliary air chamber Initial pressure of the auxiliary gas chamber, specific heat capacity , Gas density, Additional air chamber volume, This is the rate of change of the volume of the additional air chamber.
[0036] Throttling tube model If the gas density in the throttling device is considered to be a constant value, then the flow rate of the throttling tube can be expressed as:
[0037] in
[0038]
[0039] It is the diameter of the throttling tube. It is the length of the throttling tube. It is the friction coefficient of the throttling tube. It is the damping coefficient of the throttling tube. It is the pressure drop in the throttling tube. The cross-sectional area of the throttling tube is... This represents the gas density inside the throttling tube.
[0040] Throttling tubes can provide energy dissipation and damping effects.
[0041]
[0042] in The pressure in the main air chamber, The initial pressure in the main air chamber. This is the standard atmospheric pressure. It is the effective area of the main air chamber. The initial effective area of the main air chamber. It refers to the mass of the intermediate support steel plate 3. This refers to the pressure in the additional air chamber. It is the effective area of the auxiliary air chamber. This is the initial effective area of the additional air chamber.
[0043]
[0044] Working principle: When the environment vibrates, the external load first acts on the lower support steel plate 8 and is transmitted to the upper support steel plate 9 through the outer cylindrical steel support 2. The lower support steel plate 8 moves upward, at which time the main air spring 1 is compressed upward, while the four auxiliary air springs 7 are stretched upward. A pressure difference is formed between the main air spring and the auxiliary air springs. Therefore, the gas in the main air spring will flow into the auxiliary air springs through the throttling pipe, thereby reducing the pressure increase in the main air spring due to the external load and stabilizing the intermediate support steel plate 3 and the vibration-isolated mass. Similarly, when the external load acts on the lower support steel plate 8 and moves downward, the pressure of the main air spring 1 decreases due to the downward stretching, while the pressure of the four auxiliary air springs 7 increases due to the downward compression. A pressure difference is formed between the main air spring and the auxiliary air springs, and the air in the auxiliary air springs flows into the main air spring through the throttling orifice. At the same time, when the outer cylindrical steel support 2 moves upward relative to the middle support steel plate 3, the connecting rod 13 will drive the sliding piston 14 to move downward. In this way, the space of the main air spring 1 increases under the movement of the sliding piston 14, which makes up for the space reduction of the external load.
[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, and not to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
