Detailed Implementation

[0018] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described herein can be combined with each other.

[0019] The following detailed description is exemplary and intended to provide further detailed explanation of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art. The terminology used in this invention is for describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of exemplary embodiments according to the invention.

[0020] Example: Please see Figures 1 to 7 This embodiment provides an axial vibration damping device for a flywheel energy storage system, including a flywheel energy storage system body 1 and a base 2. A barrier 3 is fixed at the top edge of the base 2. A buffer base 4 is fixed to the top of the base 2 through an axial vibration damping structure. A mounting seat 5 is fixed to the top of the buffer base 4. The flywheel energy storage system body 1 is fixed to the top of the mounting seat 5. An installation auxiliary positioning component is fixed to the side of the buffer base 4. The axial vibration damping structure includes a first axial vibration damping component, a second axial vibration damping component, a damping component, and a sealing protection component. The first axial vibration damping component, the second axial vibration damping component, the damping component, and the sealing protection component are all fixedly installed between the base 2 and the buffer base 4. The first axial damping and buffer assembly includes several first spring grooves 6, which are arranged in a circular array at the top edge of the base 2. Several sleeves 7 are also fixed in a circular array at the top edge of the base 2, with their bottom ends corresponding to the top ends of the first spring grooves 6. Several buffer posts 8 are fixed in a circular array at the bottom edge of the buffer base 4, with their bottom ends vertically inserted into the sleeves 7. First buffer springs 9 are vertically fixed to the bottom of the inner walls of the first spring grooves 6, with their top ends fixed to the bottom ends of the buffer posts 8. The sleeves 7... The buffer column 8 has symmetrical and vertically opened strip-shaped limiting holes 10 on both sides. Limiting sliders 11 are fixed at the bottom of both sides. The limiting sliders 11 are slidably connected to the inside of the strip-shaped limiting holes 10. It should be noted that under the combined limiting action of the limiting sliders 11 and the strip-shaped limiting holes 10, when the flywheel energy storage system device 1 installed on the buffer base 4 vibrates axially, the buffer base 4 can drive several buffer columns 8 to move vertically in the corresponding sleeves 7, thereby squeezing the first buffer spring 9. The first buffer spring 9 deforms and generates a reverse force, thereby realizing the function of axial shock absorption. Several protective pads 12 are fixed in a circular array at the bottom edge of the buffer base 4. The protective pads 12 are respectively sleeved on the outside of several buffer posts 8. It should be noted that the protective pads 12 can effectively prevent the buffer base 4 from colliding with the top of the sleeve 7. The second axial damping and buffering assembly includes several second spring grooves 13, which are symmetrically opened on both sides of the top of the base 2. Each second spring groove 13 has a sliding block 14 slidably connected to its inner side. Each sliding block 14 has a second buffer spring 15 fixed to its two ends. The ends of the second buffer spring 15 are fixed to the inner wall of the second spring groove 13. Each sliding block 14 has a buffer rod 16 rotatably mounted on its top. The tops of several buffer rods 16 are symmetrically rotatably mounted on both sides of the bottom of the buffer base 4. It should be noted that when the flywheel energy storage system device 1 installed on the buffer base 4 vibrates axially, the buffer rods 16 can drive the corresponding sliding block 14 to slide in the corresponding second spring groove 13. When the sliding block 14 slides, it squeezes and stretches the corresponding second buffer spring 15, causing the second buffer spring 15 to undergo elastic deformation and generate elastic force, thus realizing the function of axial damping and buffering again. The damping assembly includes several dampers 17. The bottom ends of the dampers 17 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the base 2, and the top ends of the dampers 17 are all fixed to the bottom of the buffer base 4. It should be noted that under the action of the dampers 17, the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 on the buffer base 4 can quickly become stable, and can effectively absorb the energy generated by the elastic force of the first buffer spring 9 and the second buffer spring 15, thereby effectively preventing the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 from vibrating under the elastic force of the first buffer spring 9 and the second buffer spring 15. In summary, this device can perform axial vibration damping and buffering operations on the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 through a dual vibration damping method, which greatly improves the axial vibration damping and buffering effect of the flywheel energy storage system device body 1. The sealing and protective assembly includes a corrugated sleeve 18. The top end of the corrugated sleeve 18 is fixed to the edge of the buffer base 4, and the bottom end of the corrugated sleeve 18 is fixed to the top of the base 2. It should be noted that under the protective function of the corrugated sleeve 18, the overall structure of the first axial damping buffer assembly and the second axial damping buffer assembly located inside the corrugated sleeve 18 can be effectively sealed and protected, thereby giving the axial damping buffer mechanism a better service life. The installation auxiliary positioning assembly includes several adjusting sleeves 19, with their ends arranged in a circular array and fixed to the side of the buffer base 4. Each adjusting sleeve 19 has an adjusting rod 20 inserted inside it, and each adjusting rod 20 has an arc-shaped positioning piece 21 fixed to its end. The surfaces of the arc-shaped positioning pieces 21 abut against the inner surface of the enclosure 3. A limiting piece 22 is fixed to one end of each adjusting rod 20 located inside the adjusting sleeve 19. A limiting groove 23 is formed at the bottom of the inner wall of each adjusting sleeve 19, and the limiting piece 22 slides within the limiting groove 23. A threaded hole 24 is vertically formed at the top of each adjusting sleeve 19 away from the buffer base 4, and a tightening screw 25 is threaded onto the wall of each threaded hole 24. The bottom ends of all 5 abut against the surface of the adjusting rod 20. The top of the adjusting rod 20 is provided with scale lines 26. It should be noted that when the operator installs the overall structure of the axial damping buffer mechanism on the top of the base 2, the adjusting rod 20 can be extended and adjusted at equal intervals through the scale lines 26, so that several arc-shaped positioning pieces 21 abut against the inner surface of the enclosure 3, and are locked and fixed by tightening the screws 25. Thus, the overall structure of the axial damping buffer mechanism can be conveniently positioned and installed at the center of the top of the base 2, which can have the function of positioning the flywheel energy storage system device body 1, thereby effectively assisting in positioning and installing the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 at the center of the base 2, enriching its functions.

[0021] The usage process of this invention is as follows: When in use, the operator first installs the overall structure of the axial damping buffer mechanism on the base 2. Then, the operator can adjust the adjustment rod 20 at equal intervals through the telescopic adjustment rod 20 and the scale line 26 so that several arc-shaped positioning pieces 21 abut against the inner surface of the enclosure 3 and are locked and fixed by tightening the screws 25. Thus, the overall structure of the axial damping buffer mechanism can be conveniently positioned and installed at the top center of the base 2. Then, the operator installs the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 in the mounting seat 5 at the top of the buffer base 4, which can effectively assist the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 in being positioned and installed at the center of the base 2. When the flywheel energy storage system device 1 mounted on the buffer base 4 vibrates axially, the buffer base 4 can drive several buffer columns 8 to move vertically within the corresponding sleeves 7, thereby compressing the first buffer spring 9. The first buffer spring 9 deforms and generates a reverse force, thus achieving the function of axial shock absorption. When the flywheel energy storage system device 1 mounted on the buffer base 4 vibrates axially, the buffer rod 16 can drive the corresponding sliding block 14 to slide within the corresponding second spring groove 13. When the sliding block 14 slides, it compresses and stretches the corresponding second buffer spring 15, causing the second buffer spring 15 to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic force can again realize the function of axial shock absorption and buffering. Moreover, under the action of several dampers 17, the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 on the buffer base 4 can quickly become stable, and can effectively absorb the energy generated by the elastic force of the first buffer spring 9 and the second buffer spring 15, thereby effectively avoiding the situation of self-vibration of the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 under the action of the elastic force of the first buffer spring 9 and the second buffer spring 15. Therefore, the device can also perform axial shock absorption and buffering operation on the flywheel energy storage system device body 1 through dual shock absorption, greatly improving the axial shock absorption and buffering effect of the flywheel energy storage system device body 1.
