[0035] The above scheme is further described below in conjunction with specific examples. It should be understood that these examples are used to illustrate the utility model and are not limited to the scope of the utility model. The implementation conditions used in the examples can be further adjusted according to the conditions of the specific manufacturer, and the implementation conditions not specified are usually the conditions in conventional experiments.

[0036] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , is a tuning liquid damper for chimney of the utility model, comprising two damper units 2 arranged along the periphery of the chimney, the two damper units 2 are connected via a blind flange 4, a support platform 3 is provided on the periphery of the chimney 1, and the damper unit 2 is fixed on the support platform 3. Each damper unit 2 comprises a plurality of boxes which are separated and arranged to contain damping liquid. In this example, the number of boxes in the two damper units 2 is five, and the five boxes are arranged in a single layer along the periphery of the chimney 1. Adjacent boxes are separated by a first partition plate 2-6, and a flow hole 2-6a (such as Figure 8 shown).

[0037] The number of damper units 2 is selected according to the diameter of the chimney 1. Generally, if the diameter of the chimney 1 does not exceed 4 meters, two damper units 2 are designed; if the diameter is greater than 4 meters, three damper units 2 are designed.

[0038] Specifically, the damper unit 2 includes a bottom plate 2-1 extending circumferentially along the chimney 1, end plates 2-5 arranged at both ends of the bottom plate 2-1, an inner plate 2-3 arranged on the inner side of the bottom plate 2-1, an outer plate 2-2 arranged on the outer side of the bottom plate 2-1, and an upper cover plate 2-4 connecting the end plate 2-5, the inner plate 2-3, and the outer plate 2-2. The first partition plate 2-6 connects the bottom plate 2-1, the upper cover plate 2-4, the outer plate 2-2 and the inner plate 2-3, and the damper unit 2 is divided into five boxes by four first partition plates 2-6.

[0039] In order to improve the structural strength of the damper unit 2, a plurality of reinforcing ribs 2-9 are provided on the inner side of the upper cover plate 2-4.

[0040] Preferably, the circumferential length of the box along the chimney 1 is consistent with the spacing between the outer plate 2-2 and the inner plate 2-3, that is, each box is approximately square, ensuring the vibration reduction performance of the crosswind resonance response in all directions.

[0041] In order to facilitate filling the damping liquid into the damper unit 2, a liquid filling port 2-4a and a vent port 2-4b connected to the box body are provided on the upper cover plate 2-4.

[0042] In order to meet the vibration reduction performance, the mass ratio of the damping liquid in the multiple damper units 2 to the mass ratio of the chimney 1 is 1.5-2.0%. According to finite element simulation analysis and experimental verification, the larger the mass ratio, the better the vibration reduction effect. However, when the mass ratio u is greater than 2%, the box width in the damper unit will be too large, affecting transportation and installation, and at the same time increasing the stress of the connection between the damper support and the chimney and the second-order additional bending moment; when the mass ratio is less than 1.5%, the vibration reduction effect is not ideal, so the optimal mass ratio u of the damper is set to 1.5%-2.0%. The ratio of the height of the damping liquid to the height of the damper unit 2 is 0.3-0.4, the distance between the flow hole 26a and the damping liquid surface is not greater than 0.5 times the liquid height, and the ratio of the height of the damping liquid to the spacing between the outer plate 2-2 and the inner plate 2-3 is 0.1-0.12.

It is verified by the scaled experiment that the chimney damping ratio becomes 5.0 times of the original value, and the amplitude of the top of the chimney 1 can be reduced by 70%.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the structure of Example 2 of the utility model.

[0047] Correspondingly, a liquid adding hole 2-4a and a vent hole 24b connected to the upper box and the lower box are provided on the upper cover plate 2-4, wherein the liquid adding hole 24a and the vent hole 24b connected to the lower box are provided with a connecting pipe extending into the lower box.

[0048] In this example, the ratio of the mass of the damping liquid to the mass of the chimney 1 is set to 1.8%, the ratio of the damper liquid sloshing frequency to the first-order natural frequency of the chimney is 1, the height of the damping liquid is 0.3 times the height of the damper unit 2, and the distance between the flow hole 2-6a on the first partition plate 2.6 and the liquid surface is 0.5 times the liquid height.
