Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of vibration isolation technology, and in particular relates to a method for determining vibration isolator parameters and a vibration isolator. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, robots are increasingly used in industrial manufacturing and household life, with robots equipped with robotic arms or legs being gradually promoted due to their wide range of functions. However, the vibrations and shocks generated during road transportation can adversely affect the precision, reliability, and durability of robotic arms and legs.
[0003] In the existing technology, the common method for protecting products during transportation is to wrap the object with cushioning materials such as foam and airbags. The material absorbs energy through deformation to prevent the object from being damaged due to collision. This type of packaging can alleviate instantaneous impact to a certain extent to avoid damage.
[0004] However, for robots with complex structures and numerous movable joints, relying solely on wrapping methods such as foam and airbags can only prevent damage caused by collisions, but cannot avoid the impact of vibrations on the robot's joints. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This application provides a method for determining vibration isolator parameters and a vibration isolator that can isolate vibrations during transportation, fundamentally avoiding the adverse effects of vibrations on transported objects.
[0006] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a method for determining vibration isolator parameters, the method comprising: Based on the geometric structure and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is constructed using the Lagrange equation and d'Alembert's principle.

Based on the stiffness coefficient and pre-compression of the vertical spring, and using parameter constraints, the parameters of the vibration isolator are determined. Substitute the parameters of the vibration isolator into the force transmissibility function and the displacement transmissibility function to solve for the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility of the vibration isolator, and determine whether the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility meet the preset force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold. If the conditions are not met, the parameters of the vibration isolator are re-determined based on the parameter constraints until the obtained force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility satisfy the force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold, respectively.

The support device is equipped with a vertical spring perpendicular to the base, which acts between the platform and the base to provide elastic support in the vertical direction. The main support body of the support device is a support column that is vertically fixed to the platform. The support column is also used to support the guide rail. The guide rail is used to guide the movement of the support column in the vertical direction of the base so that the platform only produces vertical displacement when vibrating. Two pairs of curved surface components are fixed on the base. One pair of curved surface components and the other pair of curved surface components are arranged symmetrically about the support device. The surfaces of the two pairs of curved surface components facing the support device are curved surfaces with the same curvature. Each pair of curved components has two parallel rollers on its curved surface that can move along the curved surface. The two parallel rollers are connected by a connecting rod spring. When the two parallel rollers move along the curved surface, they cause the connecting rod spring to deform. The two ends of the connecting rod are hinged to two parallel rollers, and the middle of the connecting rod is hinged to the support device.

[0017] The vibration isolator parameter determination method and vibration isolator provided in this application embodiment are based on the geometric structure and physical parameters of the vibration isolator. Using the Lagrange equation and d'Alembert's principle, a restoring force-displacement function of the vibration isolator is constructed. Then, based on the restoring force-displacement function, the parameter constraints for achieving quasi-zero stiffness characteristics of the vibration isolator at the static equilibrium position are solved. Based on the restoring force-displacement function, the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator under excitation is established, and the harmonic balance method is used to solve the dynamic equation, obtaining the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function of the vibration isolator under excitation. Finally, by obtaining the mass of the object to be supported, and based on the object mass, parameter constraints, and the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function, the parameters of the vibration isolator are solved. Compared to existing technologies that use cushioning materials such as foam and airbags to wrap around objects to buffer damage to robots from instantaneous impacts, but cannot avoid the impact of vibration on robot joints, this application solves the parameter constraints of the vibration isolator to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics at the static equilibrium position, as well as the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function. Thus, when transporting objects, the parameters of the vibration isolator are designed based on the object's mass, parameter constraints, and force and displacement transmissibility functions. This allows the vibration isolator parameters to be adapted to the actual mass of the object to be carried, achieving the goal that the vibration isolator can both stably support the object and effectively isolate vibrations during transportation.

[0021] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this application will be described in detail below. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only intended to explain this application and not to limit it. For those skilled in the art, this application can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely to provide a better understanding of this application by illustrating examples.
[0022] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0023] First, let me explain the terms used in this application: The Da Vinci system is a classic nonlinear vibration system model. Its core feature is that the relationship between restoring force and displacement is no longer a simple linear proportional relationship, but includes a cubic term of displacement.

[0029] Currently, product protection during transportation typically involves wrapping objects with cushioning materials such as foam and airbags to prevent cosmetic damage from collisions. However, for robots, especially humanoid robots, which have numerous movable joints, simply wrapping them with foam and airbags during transportation is insufficient to isolate them from vibrations generated during transport. These vibrations can severely damage these joints, adversely affecting the precision, reliability, and durability of the robot's robotic arms and legs.
[0030] Based on this, this application provides a method for determining vibration isolator parameters and a vibration isolator. By designing a vibration isolator with quasi-zero stiffness characteristics, it is installed under the object to be transported, thereby isolating vibrations during transportation. Furthermore, after designing the vibration isolator with quasi-zero stiffness characteristics, this application provides a method for determining vibration isolator parameters. The restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is derived using the Lagrange equation and d'Alembert's principle, and the parameter constraints that make the vibration isolator satisfy the quasi-zero stiffness characteristics are solved. Then, the vibration isolator under excitation is solved based on the harmonic balance method. Finally, the static equilibrium relationship between the vertical spring force and the object's weight, the parameter constraints, and the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function jointly guide the selection of vibration isolator parameters, enabling the vibration isolator to simultaneously meet load-bearing requirements and vibration isolation requirements, thereby effectively isolating vibrations generated during transportation and significantly improving transportation safety and the robot's service life.
[0031] To address the problems of the prior art, embodiments of this application provide a method for determining vibration isolator parameters and a vibration isolator. To clearly illustrate the method for determining vibration isolator parameters provided in this application, a vibration isolator provided in this application will first be described.
[0032] Figure 1 This paper illustrates one application of the vibration isolator, which isolates vibrations during transport by adding the vibration isolator provided in this application to the object to be transported. For example, adding the vibration isolator provided in this application to the bottom of the robot's outer packaging isolates vibrations during transport, thereby achieving vibration damping of the robot during transport.
[0033] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the vibration isolator structure provided in this application is shown, as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the vibration isolator provided in this application includes: The base 21 and the support device 22 vertically fixed on the base 21 are used to support the platform 23. The support device 22 is provided with a vertical spring 24 perpendicular to the base 21, which acts between the platform 23 and the base 21 to provide elastic support in the vertical direction. The main support of the support device 22 is a support column 221 vertically fixed on the platform 23. The support column 221 is also used to support the guide rail 222. The guide rail 222 is used to guide the movement of the support column 221 in the vertical direction of the base 21 so that the platform 23 only produces vertical displacement when vibrating.
[0034] In this embodiment, the base 21 is fixed at the bottom of the vibration isolator and directly contacts the ground or the bottom of the transport vehicle to provide a stable installation foundation. The fixed support device 22 is used to support the platform 23. The platform 23 is located at the top of the vibration isolator, thereby forming a stable installation surface for directly placing or fixing the object to be transported.
[0035] A vertical spring 24, perpendicular to the base 21, is provided on the support device 22. This spring acts between the platform 23 and the base 21 to provide elastic support in the vertical direction, reducing the impact of vibration on the support device 22 and the base 21. In one example, the vertical spring 24 is sleeved on the support device 22.
[0036] The main support of the support device 22 is a support column 221 that is vertically fixed on the platform 23. The support column 221 is also used to support the guide rail 222, which is fixed on the base 21. The support column 221 is used to support the structural frame of the vibration isolator and provides installation and fixing points for other parts such as the platform 23, the guide rail 222, or the connecting rod 28. The guide rail 222 is vertically inserted between the platform 23 and the base 21 and is fixed by the support column 221. It is used to guide the support column 221 to achieve vertical movement so that the platform 23 only produces vertical displacement when vibrating. The vertical spring 24 and the guide rail 222 enable the platform 23 of the vibration isolator to have a large load-bearing capacity and static stiffness.
[0037] Two pairs of curved surface parts 25 are fixed on the base 21. One pair of curved surface parts and the other pair of curved surface parts are arranged symmetrically about the support device 22. The surfaces of the two pairs of curved surface parts facing the support device 22 are curved surfaces with the same curvature.
[0038] In this embodiment of the application, the curved component 25 can be directly mounted on the base 21. In one example, two side plates are fixed face to face on the base 21 of the vibration isolator. The two side plates are located on both sides of the support device 22, and a pair of curved components 25 are fixed on each side plate. The center line between the curved components 25 is perpendicular to the base 21, and the side of the curved component 25 facing the support device 22 is curved. By distributing four identical curved components around the platform 23, the horizontal stability of the vibration isolator is ensured.
[0039] Each pair of curved surface components 25 has two parallel rollers 26 that can move along the curved surface. The two parallel rollers 26 are connected by a connecting rod spring 27. When the two parallel rollers 26 move along the curved surface, they cause the connecting rod spring 27 to deform.
[0040] In this embodiment, each pair of curved surface components 25 has two parallel rollers 26 that can move along the curved surface. The two parallel rollers 26 are connected by a connecting rod spring 27. When the two parallel rollers 26 move along the curved surface, they can cause the connecting rod spring 27 to deform, thereby providing buffering and absorbing vibration energy through the elastic deformation of the connecting rod spring 27. By reasonably setting the curvature of the curved surface component 25, the movement trajectory of the connecting rod 28 can be adjusted to keep it stable under force, and the force direction of the connecting rod spring 27 can be reasonably adjusted to ensure that the compression and release of the connecting rod spring 27 always act on the optimized path. In one example, the connecting rod spring 27 is located on the inner side of the curved surface component 25.
[0041] The two ends of the connecting rod 28 are respectively hinged to the two parallel rollers 26, and the middle part of the connecting rod 28 is hinged to the support device 22.
[0042] In this embodiment, the two ends of the connecting rod 28 are hinged to two parallel rollers 26, thereby connecting the connecting rod 28 and the curved surface member 25 through the rollers 26. By converting the sliding friction between the connecting rod 28 and the curved surface member 25 into rolling friction, the frictional force between the connecting rod 28 and the curved surface member 25 is reduced, allowing the connecting rod 28 to move smoothly on the curved surface member 25 when the guide rail 222 moves. Furthermore, the middle part of the connecting rod 28 is hinged to the support device 22, which is used to convert the vertical movement of the platform 23 into the movement of the connecting rod 28, thereby driving the rollers 26 to move along the curved surface member 25 and causing the connecting rod spring 27 to deform.
[0043] Through the design of the above-mentioned vibration isolator structure and the reasonable setting of the parameters of each component in the vibration isolator, the positive stiffness provided by the vertical spring 24 in the vibration isolator is coupled with the negative stiffness generated by the curved part 25, the roller 26, the connecting rod 28 and the connecting rod spring 27, so that the vibration isolator has quasi-zero stiffness characteristics in the equilibrium position.
[0044] In this embodiment, positive stiffness is the core of the vibration isolator to achieve static load bearing. The vertical spring 24 is vertically arranged between the base 21 and the platform 23. Under the weight of the object to be supported, it is in a pre-compressed state, generating an upward elastic force and forming positive stiffness. The positive stiffness of the vertical spring 24 ensures that the vibration isolator has sufficient static load bearing capacity and can stably support the weight of the object to be supported. When the platform 23 moves downward, the connecting rod 28 drives the roller 26 to roll upward along the curved surface, and the connecting rod spring 27 is further stretched, thereby generating negative stiffness. The coupling of positive and negative stiffness achieves both static load bearing and dynamic vibration isolation.
[0045] In this embodiment, the vibration isolator includes a base 21 and a support device 22 vertically fixed to the base 21 for supporting a platform 23. The support device 22 is provided with a vertical spring 24 perpendicular to the base 21, acting between the platform 23 and the base 21 to provide elastic support in the vertical direction. The main support of the support device 22 is a support column 221 vertically fixed to the platform 23. The support column 221 also supports a guide rail 222, which guides the support column 221 to move in the vertical direction of the base 21 so that the platform 23 only produces vertical displacement when vibrating. Two side plates fixed to the base 21 are located on both sides of the support device 22. Each side plate is fixed with a pair of curved surface parts 25. The center line between the pair of curved surface parts 25 is perpendicular to the base 21. The side of the curved surface part 25 facing the support device 22 is curved. Each pair of curved surface parts 25 has two parallel rollers 26 that can move along the curved surface. The two parallel rollers 26 are connected by a connecting rod spring 27. When the two parallel rollers 26 move along the curved surface, they drive the connecting rod spring 27 to deform. The two ends of the connecting rod 28 are respectively hinged to the two parallel rollers 26. The middle part of the connecting rod 28 is hinged to the support device 22. Compared to existing technologies that use cushioning materials such as foam and airbags to wrap around objects to buffer instantaneous impacts on robots, but cannot avoid the impact of vibrations on robot joints, this application provides a vibration isolator. The vertical spring 24 provides positive stiffness and static load-bearing capacity, bearing and supporting the weight of the transported object, ensuring the stability of the vibration isolator in a static state. The guide rail 222 and the support column 221 constitute the core guiding and supporting frame. The guide rail 222 strictly restricts the platform 23 to move only in the vertical direction to avoid lateral displacement. The support column 221 provides rigid support for the entire structure and fixes the relative positions of each component. Finally, through the synergistic action of the curved part 25, roller 26, connecting rod, and connecting rod spring 27, a negative stiffness is formed, which is coupled with the positive stiffness provided by the vertical spring 24. Thus, the vibration isolator achieves quasi-zero stiffness characteristics in the static equilibrium position, effectively isolating vibrations during transportation. This avoids problems such as decreased precision and accelerated wear of robot joints due to frequent vibrations, significantly improving the safety and reliability of robot transportation.
[0046] The following describes a method for determining vibration isolator parameters provided in an embodiment of this application. This method is used to determine the parameters of the vibration isolator described above. Figure 2 The parameters of the vibration isolator provided.
[0047] Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for determining vibration isolator parameters according to an embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 3 As shown, the method may include the following steps: S301: Based on the geometry and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is constructed using the Lagrange equation and d'Alembert's principle.
[0048] In this embodiment, based on the geometry and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, and utilizing Lagrange's equations and d'Alembert's principle, a restoring force displacement function for the vibration isolator is constructed. In one example, the displacement in the restoring force displacement function is the change in displacement of the vibration isolator's platform relative to the base.
[0049] The restoring force displacement function describes how a vibration isolator generates a restoring force to resist motion after being subjected to external forces, causing the isolator to tend towards an equilibrium state. The restoring force displacement function is one of the important characteristics of a vibration isolator, reflecting the mode and extent of its response to vibration or displacement. For the symmetrical vibration isolator in this application, the restoring force displacement function describes the reaction force generated after the isolator shifts from its equilibrium position. The restoring force determines the mechanical characteristics of the vibration isolator under different displacements. For the vibration isolator, the restoring force displacement function also reflects whether it can effectively recover to an equilibrium state under vibration disturbance. Therefore, constructing the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is the foundation for vibration reduction performance analysis and helps determine the response characteristics of the vibration isolator during vibration.
[0050] S302: Based on the restoring force displacement function, solve the parametric constraints for the vibration isolator to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics at the static equilibrium position.
[0051] In this embodiment, quasi-zero stiffness is the core characteristic of the vibration isolator to achieve high static stiffness load bearing and low dynamic stiffness vibration isolation, which directly determines the vibration isolation effect. Based on the constructed restoring force displacement function, the stiffness displacement function is derived through mathematical processing, thereby obtaining the parameter constraints for the vibration isolator to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics at the static equilibrium position.
[0052] S303: Based on the restoring force displacement function, establish the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator under excitation, and use the harmonic balance method to solve the dynamic equation to obtain the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function of the vibration isolator under excitation. The excitation includes harmonic force excitation and displacement excitation.
[0053] In this embodiment, force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility are the core indicators for quantifying vibration isolation effect. The lower the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility, the better the vibration isolation performance of the vibration isolator. Based on the restoring force-displacement function, the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator under harmonic force excitation and displacement excitation is established, and the dynamic equation is solved by the harmonic balance method to obtain the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function.
[0054] S304: Obtain the mass of the object to be supported, and solve for the parameters of the vibration isolator based on the object mass, parameter constraints, force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function.
[0055] In this embodiment, the parameter selection of the vibration isolator can be guided by parameter constraints, force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function, so that the vibration isolator parameters are adapted to the actual mass of the object to be carried, thereby achieving that the vibration isolator can stably carry the object and effectively isolate the vibration during transportation.
[0056] In this embodiment, based on the geometry and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, the restoring force-displacement function of the vibration isolator is constructed using the Lagrange equation and d'Alembert's principle. Then, based on the restoring force-displacement function, the parameter constraints for achieving quasi-zero stiffness characteristics of the vibration isolator at the static equilibrium position are solved. Based on the restoring force-displacement function, the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator under excitation is established, and the harmonic balance method is used to solve the dynamic equation to obtain the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function of the vibration isolator under excitation. Finally, by obtaining the mass of the object to be supported, the parameters of the vibration isolator are solved based on the object mass, parameter constraints, and force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function. Compared to existing technologies that use cushioning materials such as foam and airbags to wrap around objects to buffer damage to robots from instantaneous impacts, but cannot avoid the impact of vibration on robot joints, this application solves the parameter constraints of the vibration isolator to achieve quasi-zero stiffness characteristics at the static equilibrium position, as well as the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function. Thus, when transporting objects, the parameters of the vibration isolator are designed based on the object's mass, parameter constraints, and force and displacement transmissibility functions. This allows the vibration isolator parameters to be adapted to the actual mass of the object to be carried, achieving the goal that the vibration isolator can both stably support the object and effectively isolate vibrations during transportation.
[0057] For ease of description, according to Figure 2 The provided vibration isolator has an equivalent two-dimensional model, such as... Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 A two-dimensional structural schematic diagram of the vibration isolator provided in this application is shown. Figure 4 As shown, when At this time, the vibration isolator is in a static equilibrium position, and the load on the platform is the ideal load of the vibration isolator. At the same time, the connecting rod spring is in a stretched state, and the vertical spring is in a compressed state. Let the compression of the vertical spring at this time be... The symmetrically distributed forces are in equilibrium with each other. This represents the length of the connecting rod spring at any position; it is a dynamic parameter that changes with displacement. L is the length of the connecting rod. l Indicates the structural parameters of the vibration isolator. This indicates the relative displacement of the platform with respect to the base. x Indicates the absolute displacement of the platform. y This indicates the absolute displacement of the base. When external disturbances occur due to road bumps... At that time, the original static equilibrium is broken, and the platform will deviate. When the position of the platform experiences vertical displacement, the connecting rod rotates with the platform's movement, causing the roller to slide along the curved surface. This sliding of the roller causes elastic deformation of the connecting rod spring, generating an elastic force. The curvature of the curved surface affects the direction of this elastic force, while the stiffness of the connecting rod spring determines the magnitude of the force generated per unit deformation. Therefore, the geometry of the curved surface, the stiffness of the connecting rod spring, and the degree of deformation collectively determine the law governing the change of the vibration isolator's restoring force with relative displacement. First, the relationship between the connecting rod spring length and relative displacement is established: Assume the length of the linkage spring is [value missing] when the platform is in any position. ,but The expression is: (1) in, Indicates the length of the connecting rod spring; This indicates the length of the connecting rod spring when the vibration isolator is in a static equilibrium position. , is a variable that controls the shape of curved parts or the length function of connecting rods and springs.

[0061] In this embodiment, the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator is constructed by applying the Lagrange equation based on the kinetic energy function and potential energy function of the vibration isolator.

This indicates the relative displacement of the platform with respect to the base; Indicates external disturbance force; c Indicates the damping coefficient; Indicates platform quality; g Represents the gravitational acceleration constant; This indicates the kinetic energy of the vibration isolator; This represents the potential energy of the vibration isolator; S503: Based on d'Alembert's principle, the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is derived from the dynamic equation.
[0063] In the embodiments of this application, the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator can be derived from the dynamic equation based on d'Alembert's principle.
[0064] First, substituting formulas (2) and (3) into formula (4) yields: (5) in, Indicates platform quality; This represents the second derivative of the relative displacement with respect to time. This represents the second derivative of the absolute displacement of the base with respect to time. This indicates the stiffness coefficient of a vertical spring; This indicates the relative displacement of the platform with respect to the base; Indicates the amount of compression of the vertical spring; This indicates the stiffness coefficient of the connecting rod spring; Indicates the length of the connecting rod spring; Indicates the original length of the connecting rod spring; This represents the derivative of the length of the connecting rod spring with respect to the relative displacement; This indicates the initial tension of the connecting rod spring; g Represents the gravitational acceleration constant; Indicates external disturbance force; c Indicates the damping coefficient; It represents the derivative of relative displacement with respect to time.
[0065] At the static equilibrium position, that is... At this point, the load and the restoring force of the vertical spring are balanced, and the surface mechanism is irrelevant. g Then, the above equation (5) can be written as: (6) in, Indicates platform quality; This represents the second derivative of the relative displacement with respect to time. This indicates the stiffness coefficient of a vertical spring; This indicates the amount of compression of the vertical spring; This indicates the relative displacement of the platform with respect to the base; This indicates the stiffness coefficient of the connecting rod spring; Indicates the length of the connecting rod spring; Indicates the original length of the connecting rod spring; This represents the derivative of the length of the connecting rod spring with respect to the relative displacement; This indicates the initial tension of the connecting rod spring; Indicates external disturbance force; c Indicates the damping coefficient; This represents the derivative of relative displacement with respect to time.

[0068] As can be seen from formula (8), the restoring force displacement function has nonlinear characteristics. This nonlinearity allows the vibration isolator to exhibit different response behaviors under different loads and vibration conditions, thereby improving the vibration isolator's adaptability to large-amplitude and complex excitations. Specifically, the restoring force displacement function reflects the vibration isolator's recovery capability under different vibration amplitudes by including linear and nonlinear terms. The higher-order nonlinear terms enhance the vibration isolator's restoring force under large displacement disturbances, while the linear terms ensure rapid recovery under small disturbances. These characteristics enable the vibration isolator to effectively recover to the equilibrium state after being subjected to vibration disturbances of different frequencies and amplitudes, thereby ensuring the stability and excellent vibration reduction performance of the vibration isolator.
[0069] In this embodiment, based on the geometric connection relationship and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, the kinetic energy function and potential energy function of the vibration isolator are established. Then, based on the kinetic energy function and potential energy function of the vibration isolator, and applying the Lagrange equation, the dynamic equation of the vibration isolator is constructed. Finally, based on d'Alembert's principle, the restoring force displacement function of the vibration isolator is derived from the dynamic equation. The derived function accurately correlates the displacement and the restoring force, providing a core basis for subsequent parameter constraints and performance analysis, and ensuring that the parameter design can match the actual vibration scenario.

[0078] Furthermore, the corresponding dimensionless restoring force function at this time is: .
[0079] In summary, to eliminate the influence of static load, the dimensionless restoring force of the vibration isolator is approximately zero over a wide range [-0.2, 0.2], and its amplitude is much smaller than that of a typical linear vibration isolator. Since the static load of the vibration isolator depends only on the stiffness and compression of the vertical spring, theoretically, the High-static-low-dynamic Bench Vibration Isolator (HFBVI) has a large load-bearing capacity over a wide range. Furthermore, HFBVI... There is a wide and gently sloping low-stiffness region on both sides [-0.2, 0.2]. In this region, the dimensionless stiffness is almost zero, much smaller than the stiffness of a typical linear vibration isolator. Furthermore, with... With the increase of [something], the size of the static stiffness and low dynamic stiffness regions of the vibration isolator will also increase, and regardless of [something]... Regardless of the value, the dimensionless stiffness of the vibration isolator is always greater than or equal to zero, and there is no negative stiffness region overall. The vibration isolator will not become unstable due to the presence of curved components. Therefore, the vibration isolator has a wide and stable range of high static stiffness and low dynamic stiffness, and can achieve large static stiffness and very low dynamic stiffness within a large dimensionless region. Furthermore, within the design limits, the greater the pretension of the connecting rod spring, the stronger the high static stiffness and low dynamic stiffness characteristics of the vibration isolator, and the better the theoretical vibration isolation performance.
[0080] In this embodiment, based on the geometry and physical parameters of the vibration isolator, the force-displacement function is dimensionlessly processed to obtain a dimensionless force-displacement function. Then, the derivative of the dimensionless force-displacement function is obtained to obtain the stiffness-displacement function. Finally, based on the stiffness-displacement function, the stiffness value of the stiffness-displacement function at the static equilibrium position of the vibration isolator is set as the target value, and the parameter constraint conditions are solved. By transforming the abstract quasi-zero stiffness characteristic into quantifiable parameter constraint conditions, the selection of vibration isolator parameters can be guided based on the parameter constraint conditions, thereby achieving quasi-zero stiffness characteristics at the static equilibrium position.

[0088] S702: The harmonic balance method is used to solve the dynamic equations under dimensionless excitation to obtain the force amplitude and displacement amplitude.
[0089] In this embodiment, the dynamic equation under excitation is a nonlinear differential equation, and an exact analytical solution cannot be obtained. Therefore, the dynamic equation under dimensionless excitation is solved using the harmonic balance method. The harmonic balance method is an effective approximation method for solving the steady-state response of a nonlinear system. It is assumed that the steady-state response of the vibration isolator under harmonic excitation is a sinusoidal function: (18) in, Indicates the steady-state response; A Indicates the harmonic response amplitude; Indicates the dimensionless excitation frequency; Indicates time; This indicates the phase of the harmonic response.
[0090] Substituting formula (18) into formula (17) and ignoring higher harmonic terms, we get: (19) in, This represents the third nonlinear coefficient in the restoring force displacement function; A Indicates the harmonic response amplitude; Indicates the dimensionless excitation frequency; Indicates the phase of the harmonic response; This represents the dimensionless damping coefficient; This represents dimensionless harmonic excitation, where Indicates a dimensionless force excitation.

[0094] S703: Solving for force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility functions based on force amplitude and displacement amplitude.
[0095] In the embodiments of this application, the force transmissibility function and the displacement transmissibility function are solved based on the obtained force amplitude and displacement amplitude.
[0096] Force transmissibility is defined as the ratio of the amplitude of the basic force to the amplitude of the excitation force. Therefore, the force transmissibility function of a vibration isolator is: (twenty three) in, Represents the force transmissibility function; Indicates the amplitude of the force; Indicates a dimensionless force excitation; This represents the amplitude of the dimensionless harmonic force; This represents the third nonlinear coefficient in the restoring force displacement function; A Indicates the harmonic response amplitude; Indicates the dimensionless excitation frequency; This represents the dimensionless damping coefficient.
[0097] The displacement transmissibility function is the ratio of the amplitude of the displacement to the amplitude of the excitation displacement.

Finally, the force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function are solved based on the force amplitude and displacement amplitude. The vibration reduction effect is evaluated by the calculated force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility. The lower the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility, the better the vibration isolation performance of the vibration isolator. The calculated force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function provide a clear performance judgment standard for subsequent vibration isolator parameter optimization, which facilitates the selection of the optimal parameter combination with the lowest force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility.
[0100] Figure 9 A flowchart illustrating a method for determining vibration isolator parameters according to another embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 9 As shown above, in the above Figure 3 Based on the illustrated embodiment, a specific implementation of step S304 is as follows: S901: Based on the mass of the object and the static balance relationship between the vertical spring force and the object's gravity, select the stiffness coefficient and pre-compression of the vertical spring.
[0101] In this embodiment, based on the obtained mass of the object to be supported, and combined with the static equilibrium relationship between the vertical spring force and the object's weight, the stiffness coefficient and pre-compression of the vertical spring are selected. That is, according to the static equilibrium relationship, the vertical spring force equals the object's weight; therefore, when the stiffness coefficient of the vertical spring multiplied by the compression equals the object's weight, the stiffness coefficient and compression of the vertical spring are selectable. In one example, the object's weight can be the weight of the object to be supported plus the weight of the vibration isolator platform.
[0102] S902: Based on the stiffness coefficient and pre-compression of the vertical spring, and using parameter constraints, determine the parameters of the vibration isolator.
[0103] In the embodiments of this application, parameter constraints are the core basis for achieving quasi-zero stiffness characteristics. Other parameters need to be determined based on the selected vertical spring parameters and constraints to ensure that the parameters of each component work together.
[0104] Based on the above formula (14), the stiffness coefficient of the vertical spring can be substituted into formula (14), and the stiffness coefficient of the connecting spring, the pretension of the connecting spring, the structural parameters of the vibration isolator, and the structural parameters of the curved component can be selected to satisfy formula (14). In one example, there is more than one combination of the stiffness coefficient of the connecting spring, the pretension of the connecting spring, the structural parameters of the vibration isolator, and the structural parameters of the curved component that satisfy formula (14).
[0105] S903: Substitute the parameters of the vibration isolator into the force transmissibility function and the displacement transmissibility function to solve for the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility of the vibration isolator, and determine whether the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility meet the preset force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold.
[0106] In this embodiment, although the parameter combination selected based on the above steps meets the load-bearing requirements and quasi-zero stiffness constraints, the actual vibration isolation performance needs to be verified by the transmissibility. This is to avoid the transmissibility exceeding the standard due to improper parameter combination, which would prevent effective vibration isolation. Substituting the selected parameters into formulas (22) and (23) yields the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility. Then, the obtained force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility are compared with the preset force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold. If the obtained force transmissibility is less than or equal to the preset force transmissibility threshold and the obtained displacement transmissibility is less than or equal to the preset displacement transmissibility threshold, then the parameters of this set of vibration isolators meet the load-bearing requirements and quasi-zero stiffness constraints, and can also effectively isolate vibration.
[0107] S904: If not satisfied, the parameters of the vibration isolator are re-determined based on the parameter constraints until the obtained force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility satisfy the force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold, respectively.
[0108] In the embodiments of this application, the parameters initially determined may result in a failure to meet the transfer rate due to the coupling relationship between the parameters. It is necessary to iteratively adjust and optimize the parameter combination to reduce the transfer rate below the threshold under the premise of satisfying the load-bearing and quasi-zero stiffness constraints. If the transfer rate does not meet the threshold requirement, the geometric structural parameters or physical parameters are readjusted within the range of parameter constraints, and the verification steps are repeated until the transfer rate meets the standard.
[0109] In this embodiment, the object's mass is used as input. Static equilibrium is used to ensure that the vertical spring parameters match the load-bearing requirements, preventing excessive compression due to insufficient stiffness or impact on buffering performance due to excessive stiffness. Then, constraints are used to correlate the vertical spring parameters with other parameters, ensuring all parameters form a synergistic system to achieve near-zero stiffness characteristics. Finally, force and displacement transmissibility are used to verify whether the parameters can adapt to real-world transportation vibration scenarios and effectively isolate vibrations during transport. Vertical spring parameter selection ensures load-bearing safety, constraints guarantee near-zero stiffness characteristics, and transmissibility verifies and quantifies the vibration isolation effect. This ensures the vibration isolator meets both load-bearing and vibration protection requirements, preventing damage to the robot from high-frequency vibrations during transport and significantly improving transportation safety and robot lifespan.
[0110] In one example, Table 1 below shows a set of parameter combinations determined according to the vibration isolator parameter determination method of this application: Table 2 shows the spring information determined based on the linkage spring and vertical spring parameters identified above.

The acquisition module 1104 is used to acquire the mass of the object to be supported, and to solve the parameters of the vibration isolator based on the object mass, parameter constraints, force transmissibility function and displacement transmissibility function.

Substitute the parameters of the vibration isolator into the force transmissibility function and the displacement transmissibility function to solve for the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility of the vibration isolator, and determine whether the force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility meet the preset force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold. If the conditions are not met, the parameters of the vibration isolator are re-determined based on the parameter constraints until the obtained force transmissibility and displacement transmissibility satisfy the force transmissibility threshold and displacement transmissibility threshold, respectively.
