Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel chimneys, in particular to a tuned mass damper for chimneys. Background Art

[0002] The cylindrical structural design of a tall steel chimney is mainly controlled by wind loads. When the frequency of vortex-induced shedding is consistent with the natural frequency of the chimney, crosswind resonance will occur and the top of the chimney will swing with a large amplitude, accelerating the accumulation of fatigue damage and making fatigue failure very likely to occur.

[0003] At present, the more commonly used vibration reduction device in the chimney industry is the tuned mass damper, which consists of a mass ring, a spring and a suspension wire rope. When the natural frequency of its damper structure system is consistent with the natural frequency of the chimney, the tuned mass damper produces vibrations that lag behind the chimney body by π / 2 phase due to its inertial mass. At this time, the vibration reduction effect is the best, and the vibration energy of the chimney body can be absorbed and dissipated to the greatest extent.

[0004] The existing tuned mass damper's wire rope suspension bracket is welded to the cylinder. For factory-prefabricated chimneys with large cylinder diameters, transportation is often too high and too wide, and it is necessary to report to the toll station in advance and work with relevant companies to dismantle some toll equipment to widen the width of the dedicated lane, resulting in increased costs and waste of social resources.
