DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0048] As shown in the drawings, Figs. 1-3 The elastic support assembly for the vibrating screen comprises a bottom plate 1, a pre-tightening plate 2, an elastic system 3, a mounting frame 4 and a pre-tightening bolt 5.

[0049] The bottom plate 1 is horizontally fixedly installed on the rack of the vibrating screen, and the pre-tightening plate 2 is horizontally located above the bottom plate 1. The pre-tightening plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 are connected through the pre-tightening bolt 5.

[0050] The mounting frame 4 is used to be connected with the screen body of the vibrating screen. In the embodiment, the mounting frame 4 is in a tripod structure. The mounting frame 4 comprises a mounting plate 41 and two triangular plates 42 vertically arranged on the top of the mounting plate 41. The top of the two triangular plates 42 is fixedly provided with a connecting plate 43. The mounting plate 41 is located between the pre-tightening plate 2 and the bottom plate 1. The whole mounting frame 4 is in a tripod structure, and the overall structure is stable. The screen body of the vibrating screen can be installed with the connecting plate 43 at the top end of the mounting frame 4. The whole mounting frame 4 is installed between the pre-tightening plate 2 and the bottom plate 1, and is elastically supported through the elastic system 3. In the embodiment, the pre-tightening plate 2 is horizontally located in the mounting frame 4 and is located between the mounting plate 41 and the connecting plate 43. The pre-tightening plate 2 can move up and down in the mounting frame 4.

[0051] The elastic system 3 comprises at least one group. The elastic system 3 comprises a first disc spring group 31 and a second disc spring group 32. The first disc spring group 31 is located between the pre-tightening plate 2 and the mounting plate 41. The second disc spring group 32 is located between the mounting plate 41 and the bottom plate 1. The pre-tightening bolt 5 is sequentially movably passed through the bottom plate 1, the mounting plate 41 and the pre-tightening plate 2 from top to bottom and can be connected and adjusted through the nut 51.

[0052] When the screen body of the vibrating screen works, the screen body of the vibrating screen is loaded together with the material load on the mounting frame 4. The elastic system 3 provides elastic support for the screen body of the vibrating screen, and drives the screen body of the vibrating screen to complete the vibrating screening work under the action of the exciting force.

[0053] When the disc spring vibrating screen works, the first disc spring group 31 and the second disc spring group 32 can generate a positive stiffness acting on the mounting plate 41, which is opposite to the direction of the pre-tightening force generated by the pre-tightening bolt 5. The pre-tightening force generated by the pre-tightening bolt 5 can change the tightness of the bolt group and thus change the size of the pre-tightening force by rotating the nut 51. However, the positive stiffness generated by the disc spring group is a fixed value.

[0054] This is because the stiffness of the disc spring is defined as a characteristic inherent to its own physical structure, which does not change with changes in external conditions. The disc spring group provides the necessary elastic support for the vibrating screen, but can only work within the stiffness range set at the design time, and cannot dynamically adapt to the changing load conditions.

[0055] Therefore, the embodiment of the present application further designs the structure of the elastic support assembly, specifically, the elastic system 3 further comprises a first electromagnetic group 33 and a second electromagnetic group 34, the first electromagnetic group 33 is located between the first disc spring group 31 and the pre-tightening plate 2, and the second electromagnetic group 34 is located between the second disc spring group 32 and the bottom plate 1, the first electromagnetic group 33 and the second electromagnetic group 34 are used to provide adjustable negative stiffness.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the first electromagnetic group 33 and the second electromagnetic group 34 respectively generate electromagnetic force when current is passed, the electromagnetic force provided by the first electromagnetic group 33 can exert a compression force on the first disc spring group 31, and the electromagnetic force provided by the second electromagnetic group 34 can exert a compression force on the second disc spring group 32, more specifically, the electromagnetic group generates a repulsive force, and the stiffness of the disc spring group is adjusted by adjusting the repulsive force of the electromagnetic group, so as to maintain the working frequency and amplitude of the vibrating screen.

[0057] When the load increases, the mass of the vibrating system increases, and the natural frequency of the vibrating system decreases, in order to keep the original working frequency unchanged, the stiffness of the system needs to be increased, which is realized by reducing the current of the upper and lower electromagnetic groups, so as to reduce the repulsive force of the electromagnetic group on the disc spring group, which reduces the pre-tightening force of the pre-tightening bolt 5 on the disc spring group, so that the force borne by the disc spring group decreases, and the stiffness of the disc spring group increases, so as to increase the stiffness of the system, thereby offsetting the problem of the decrease of the natural frequency due to the increase of the load, improving the natural frequency of the system, so as to adapt to the increased load and keep the working frequency unchanged.

[0058] When the load decreases, the total mass of the vibrating system becomes smaller, and the natural frequency of the vibrating system increases. In order to keep the original working frequency unchanged, the stiffness of the system needs to be reduced, which is realized by increasing the current of the upper and lower electromagnetic groups, so as to increase the electromagnetic repulsive force and increase the compression force on the disc spring group, so that the stiffness of the disc spring group decreases, thereby reducing the overall stiffness of the system, thereby offsetting the problem of the increase of the natural frequency due to the decrease of the load, reducing the natural frequency of the system, so as to adapt to the decreased load and keep the working frequency unchanged.

[0059] As some preferred embodiments, the first disc spring set 31 and the second disc spring set 32 are of the same structure, each comprising a plurality of disc spring units 310 arranged from top to bottom, each disc spring unit 310 comprising an upper disc spring 3101, a lower disc spring 3102, and a first retainer ring 3103 arranged between the upper disc spring 3101 and the lower disc spring 3102, the upper disc spring 3101 and the lower disc spring 3102 being stacked together in opposite directions, and the plurality of disc spring units 310 being connected in series through a second retainer ring 311.

[0060] With the above technical solution, the series-connected disc spring units 310 can provide a cumulative elastic effect. This configuration allows the disc springs to produce a certain displacement when subjected to a load, which can increase the elastic range of the entire system. In addition, by adjusting the number of disc spring units 310 or replacing disc springs of different stiffness, the elastic characteristics of the system can be adjusted as needed. The disc springs are stacked together in opposite directions, which is generally to increase the overall stiffness of the spring set.

[0061] In the present embodiment, the upper disc spring 3101 and the lower disc spring 3102 are stacked together in opposite directions. In this configuration, when an external force acts on the disc spring set, each disc spring unit 310 will attempt to flatten, which reduces the overall displacement and thus achieves higher stiffness.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the first retainer ring 3103 connects the upper disc spring 3101 and the lower disc spring 3102 together in the axial direction, and the second retainer ring 311 connects the upper and lower disc spring units 310 together in the axial direction of the disc spring. In this way, the plurality of disc spring units 310 are connected in series, and the disc spring set formed by the plurality of disc spring units 310 can displace in the longitudinal direction during compression, ensuring the stability of the elastic deformation of the disc spring set.

[0063] In the above example, the first electromagnetic set 33 comprises a first coil 331 and a first permanent magnet 332, the first coil 331 being fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of the pre-tightening plate 2, one end of the first permanent magnet being inserted into the first coil 331, and the other end of the first permanent magnet 332 being used to connect with the top end of the first disc spring set 31. With this arrangement, by passing current through the first coil 331, the first permanent magnet can be driven to generate an electromagnetic force, thereby displacing towards the first disc spring set 31. The repulsive force generated by the first permanent magnet under the action of the current passing through the first coil 331 can compress the first disc spring set 31, thereby reducing the stiffness of the first disc spring set 31. Correspondingly, after the second electromagnetic set 34 is passed through the current, the repulsive force generated by the second permanent magnet under the action of the current passing through the second coil 341 can compress the second disc spring set 32, thereby reducing the stiffness of the second disc spring set 32.

[0064] In order to realize that the first electromagnetic group 33 exerts more stable force on the first disc spring group 31 in the axial direction of the first disc spring group 31, thereby providing negative stiffness, the first electromagnetic group 33 of the embodiment further comprises a third stop ring 333, the upper end of the third stop ring 333 is fixedly connected with the first permanent magnet 332, and the lower end of the third stop ring 333 is used to be connected with the top end of the first disc spring group 31. As some preferred embodiments, the upper end of the third stop ring 333 can be provided as a threaded segment, and the first permanent magnet is provided as a ring-shaped permanent magnet, and the upper end of the third stop ring 333 is connected with the first permanent magnet in a threaded connection manner.

[0065] In order to realize that the lower end of the third stop ring 333 can be axially positioned and connected with the top end of the first disc spring group 31, in some embodiments, a first positioning stop ring S1 can be arranged at the top end of the first disc spring group 31, the lower end of the first positioning stop ring S1 is inserted into the upper disc spring 3101, and the lower end of the third stop ring 333 is sleeved on the upper end of the first positioning stop ring S1, thereby realizing the stable connection of the first permanent magnet and the first disc spring group 31 in the axial direction. When the first permanent magnet generates electromagnetic thrust, the first permanent magnet and the third stop ring 333 synchronously exert downward pressure on the first disc spring group 31, so that the first disc spring group 31 is compressed, thereby reducing the stiffness of the first disc spring group 31.

[0066] Correspondingly, the second electromagnetic group 34 further comprises a fourth stop ring 343, the lower end of the fourth stop ring 343 is fixedly connected with the second permanent magnet 342, and the upper end of the fourth stop ring 343 is used to be connected with the bottom end in the second disc spring group 32. As some preferred embodiments, the lower end of the fourth stop ring 343 can be provided as a threaded segment, and the second permanent magnet is provided as a ring-shaped permanent magnet, and the lower end of the fourth stop ring 343 is connected with the second permanent magnet in a threaded connection manner.

[0067] In order to realize that the upper end of the fourth stop ring 343 can be axially positioned and connected with the bottom end of the second disc spring group 32, in some embodiments, a second positioning stop ring S2 can be arranged at the bottom end of the second disc spring group 32, the upper end of the second positioning stop ring S2 is inserted into the lower disc spring 3102, and the upper end of the fourth stop ring 343 is sleeved on the lower end of the second positioning stop ring S2, thereby realizing the stable connection of the second permanent magnet and the second disc spring group 32 in the axial direction. When the second permanent magnet generates electromagnetic thrust, the second permanent magnet and the fourth stop ring 343 synchronously exert upward pressure on the second disc spring group 32, so that the second disc spring group 32 is compressed, thereby reducing the stiffness of the second disc spring group 32.

[0068] In order to realize the positioning connection of the bottom end of the first disc spring group 31 with the top surface of the mounting plate 41 and the positioning connection of the top end of the second disc spring group 32 with the bottom surface of the mounting plate 41, the top surface and the bottom surface of the mounting plate 41 are respectively provided with corresponding positioning portions 411 in the embodiment, and the positioning portions 411 are used to be correspondingly inserted into the first disc spring group 31 or the second disc spring group 32.

[0069] The elastic support assembly disclosed in the embodiment further comprises a current controller connected to the first coil 331 and the second coil 341 respectively.

[0070] In a second aspect, the present application discloses a stiffness adjustment method for an elastic support assembly of a vibrating screen, and the stiffness adjustment method comprises the following steps:

[0071] Step one: when the load of the vibrating screen with the elastic support assembly changes, the inductive element receives the amplitude and frequency signals and transmits them to the current controller, the current controller changes the output current according to the amplitude and frequency signals, the current controller outputs the current to the electromagnetic assembly to generate negative stiffness, and the negative stiffness K is calculated. N .

[0072] The inductive element can be an accelerometer for directly measuring the vibration acceleration, from which the amplitude and frequency can be calculated, or a piezoelectric sensor for measuring pressure, acceleration or vibration by using the piezoelectric effect of the material. These inductive elements can enable the control system to understand the working state of the vibrating screen in real time, and adjust the output of the current controller accordingly, so as to change the negative stiffness of the electromagnetic assembly and realize the dynamic adjustment of the system stiffness.

[0073] The electromagnetic assembly generates a force under the action of the current, which is opposite to the restoring force (positive stiffness) provided by the disc spring set, thereby affecting the overall stiffness, and the current controller calculates the required negative stiffness K N .

[0074] Step two: the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set is calculated.

[0075] Step three: the overall stiffness K of the elastic support assembly is obtained by adding the positive stiffness Kp and the negative stiffness K N . A .

[0076] By adding the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set and the negative stiffness K N of the electromagnetic assembly, the overall stiffness K A of the elastic support assembly can be obtained. In theory, K A = Kp-K N , because the electromagnetic assembly provides a force opposite to the disc spring.

[0077] Step four: the size of the negative stiffness is changed by changing the size of the current, so that the positive stiffness of the disc spring set and the negative stiffness of the electromagnetic assembly interact to adjust the overall stiffness of the elastic support assembly. According to the needs of the system, the size of the negative stiffness is adjusted by changing the size of the current. Increasing the current will enhance the electromagnetic force, thereby increasing the negative stiffness; reducing the current will weaken the electromagnetic force, thereby reducing the negative stiffness.

[0078] The pre-tightening force of the disc spring set under the pre-tightening bolt is Fp, which, together with the load on the spring system, generates the positive stiffness of the disc spring set.

[0079] In this embodiment, the calculation method of the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set is obtained by the following formula:

[0080]

[0081] Where k1, k2…k n represent the stiffness of each disc spring in the set;

[0082] The calculation method of the stiffness k of a single disc spring is obtained by the following formula:

[0083]

[0084] Where E is the elastic modulus of the disc spring material, μ is the Poisson's ratio of the disc spring material, A is the calculation coefficient, h0 is the limit deformation variable when the disc spring is flattened, t is the thickness of the disc spring, and f is the rated maximum deformation, and the calculation coefficient A is calculated by the following formula:

[0085]

[0086] Where D is the outer diameter of the disc spring, and d is the inner diameter of the disc spring.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set is obtained by calculating the average value of the stiffness k of a single disc spring. Here, k1, k2…k n represent the stiffness of each disc spring in the set, and if all the disc springs are the same, Kp is the value of the stiffness k of any disc spring, because their average value is equal to the value of each term.

[0088] The above scheme for calculating the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set has the following technical effects:

[0089] 1. Accurate stiffness control: By calculating the stiffness of a single disc spring and averaging the combination, the positive stiffness Kp of the disc spring set can be accurately designed, ensuring that the disc spring set can meet specific load and deformation requirements.

[0090] 2. Optimized design: Using detailed mathematical models to design disc springs can optimize their geometric dimensions and material selection to achieve ideal mechanical properties, improving the reliability and durability of the system.

[0091] 3. Consideration of material properties: By including the elastic modulus E and Poisson's ratio μ, the actual behavior of the material is considered in the design, ensuring that the actual working performance of the disc spring is consistent with the theoretical calculation.

[0092] 4. Adaptability: The design method can be applied to disc springs of different sizes, materials, and shapes, providing a general calculation framework that is adaptable to various engineering applications.

[0093] 5. Easy optimization: By adjusting the parameters of the disc spring (such as outer diameter D, inner diameter d, material, etc.), the stiffness characteristics of the disc spring set can be easily optimized to adapt to different working conditions and requirements.

[0094] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic negative stiffness K N is calculated as follows:

[0095] Step a, calculate the axial electromagnetic force F M generated by the interaction between n coils and n permanent magnets, by summing the electromagnetic forces F of all coil and permanent magnet pairs (p, q), where p and q represent the serial numbers of the coil and permanent magnet, respectively, as follows:

[0096]

[0097] Step b, calculate the derivative of the axial electromagnetic force F M with respect to the axial displacement Z, and take its opposite number, to obtain the electromagnetic negative stiffness K N , as follows:

[0098]

[0099] The above formula shows that the electromagnetic negative stiffness is K N , which is obtained by calculating the negative derivative of the electromagnetic force F M with respect to the axial displacement Z. In this case, the derivative represents the rate of change of the electromagnetic force F M with respect to a small change in the axial displacement Z. Taking the negative number is because the stiffness is defined as the positive value of the rate of change of force with respect to displacement, and when the force decreases with the increase of displacement, it indicates a negative stiffness.

[0100] Step c, using the relationship between the current I of the coil and the axial displacement Z, determine the functional relationship K1(I) and K2(I) of the electromagnetic negative stiffness K N by fitting the scatter plot data within a given range of axial displacement Z by the least squares method, as follows:

[0101] K N (I, Z) = K1(I) + K2(I)Z 2

[0102] where K1(I) and K2(I) are coefficient functions related to the current I obtained by data fitting.

[0103] In the above electromagnetic negative stiffness adjustment process, the purpose is to obtain the required electromagnetic negative stiffness, and the adjustment means is to change the current. Specifically, first, the required electromagnetic negative stiffness is needed to meet the dynamic characteristics requirements of the system, and then the electromagnetic negative stiffness is actually achieved by adjusting the current.

[0104] Generally, after the functional relationship between the electromagnetic negative stiffness and the current is obtained, the required current is calculated according to the required negative stiffness. Therefore, the direct parameter we adjust is the current, and the electromagnetic negative stiffness is the result of current adjustment.

[0105] In actual engineering applications, a target electromagnetic negative stiffness value is usually determined according to the requirements of the system. Then, using the relationship derived from experiments or theory, the current value required to achieve the target electromagnetic negative stiffness is calculated. Then, the current is adjusted by controlling the power supply, so as to adjust the electromagnetic negative stiffness.

[0106] The stiffness adjustment method of the elastic support assembly disclosed in the application is that in the actual working process of the vibrating screen, the overall stiffness K A of the system is determined by the positive stiffness K P of the disc spring group and the negative stiffness K N provided by the electromagnetic group. In actual applications, K P is usually fixed because it depends on the material and geometry of the physical disc spring, and K N can be adjusted by changing the current flowing through the electromagnetic component.

[0107] In the case of load change, the overall stiffness K A of the system can be obtained by direct measurement or by some sensing technology. Once K A and K P are known, the current K A can be calculated according to the formula K N = Kp-K N .

[0108] If the system needs a specific overall stiffness K A to adapt to different working conditions, K N can be adjusted to achieve this goal by the following steps:

[0109] 1) Determine the target overall stiffness K A,target .

[0110] 2) Calculate the current disc spring group stiffness Kp.

[0111] 3) Calculate the required electromagnetic negative stiffness K N,target using (K N,target = K A,target -Kp).

[0112] 4), adjust the current I to change K N , find the corresponding current I to achieve the required K N , through the relationship K 2 (I,Z) = K1(I) + K2(I)Z N,target .

[0113] In order to maintain the stability of the system under different loads and working conditions, it is usually necessary to implement closed-loop control. That is, the overall stiffness K A needs to be continuously monitored, and the current I needs to be dynamically adjusted according to the actual situation to maintain K N around the target value. Through this method, precise adjustment of the overall stiffness of the elastic support assembly can be achieved, ensuring the performance and stability of the system under various working conditions.

[0114] The stiffness adjustment method disclosed by the present application can obtain the overall stiffness required by the system. After calculating the positive stiffness of the disc spring group, the required electromagnetic negative stiffness K A can be quickly calculated through the formula K N = Kp-K N , and the required current can be quickly calculated according to the required electromagnetic negative stiffness through the functional relationship between electromagnetic negative stiffness and current. The target electromagnetic negative stiffness can be achieved by adjusting the current, thereby meeting the overall stiffness required by the system. The entire method is highly operable, can ensure dynamic adjustment of the overall stiffness of the system, and can ensure that the frequency and amplitude of the disc spring shaker remain constant during operation, thereby improving the stability of the disc spring shaker.

[0115] As some preferred embodiments, the positive stiffness provided by the first disc spring group and the second disc spring group is the same, and the negative stiffness provided by the first electromagnetic group and the second electromagnetic group is the same. With this arrangement, the displacement of the upper and lower disc spring groups during compression is consistent, avoiding fatigue damage to a certain disc spring group and affecting the service life of the elastic support assembly. At the same time, the negative stiffness provided by the first electromagnetic group and the second electromagnetic group is the same, which can make the performance of the vibrating screen system more stable.

[0116] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
