Abstract

[0002] At present, the application of viscous dampers in engineering has different requirements for damping force under different usage conditions. A viscous damper is a type of damper, mainly composed of a piston, a cylinder body, end covers, a damping medium, and a connecting body. During the reciprocating movement of the piston in the cylinder body, the damping medium flows in two separated cavities, and the damping medium generates intense friction with the piston. When passing through the piston holes or gaps, damping force is generated. The seismic energy is dissipated as heat through the reciprocating movement of the piston in the damper through the damping medium, gradually reducing the movement speed of the damper piston to achieve the purpose of damping energy dissipation.
[0003] In the prior art, in some buildings at high speeds, the output force cannot be too large. Too large a damping force will cause the failure of our damper and the connecting components, resulting in greater damage to the entire building. In severe cases, it will cause problems of life and property losses. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a damper with a variable-index protection function that can meet such application conditions.

[0027] A variable exponent protection damper includes: an outer cylinder 1, a flow-through valve assembly 2, a piston 3, a connecting ear seat 4, and a damping medium 5.
[0028] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the flow-through valve assembly 2 is installed in the piston 3, the piston 3 is installed in the outer cylinder 1, two connecting ear seats 4 are provided and are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the outer cylinder 1, and the damping medium 5 is filled in the outer cylinder 1;
[0029] The flow-through valve assembly 2 is composed of a sealing gasket 6, a compression spring 7, a locking nut 8, and a compression steel ball 9.
[0030] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, a valve mounting hole 10 and an oil passage hole 11 are provided on the piston 3, the flow control valve assembly 2 is installed in the valve mounting hole 10, and the oil passage hole 11 communicates with the valve mounting hole 10.
[0031] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, a sealing ring 12 is provided between the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and the piston 3.
[0032] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, the sealing gasket 6 is installed at one end of the valve mounting hole 10, the locking nut 8 is installed at the other end of the valve mounting hole 10, the pressing steel balls 9 and the pressing spring 7 are located in the valve mounting hole 10, the pressing steel balls 9 are located between the sealing gasket 6 and the pressing spring 7, and the pressing spring 7 is located between the pressing steel balls 9 and the locking nut 8.
[0033] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, two damping holes 13 are further provided on the piston 3, and the damping holes 13 are arranged in a circumferential cross manner with two groups of valve mounting holes 10 and oil passage holes 11.
[0034] In one embodiment, as Figures 1 to 3 shown, two damping holes 13 are further provided on the piston 3, and the damping holes 13 are arranged in a circumferential cross manner with two groups of valve mounting holes 10 and oil passage holes 11.
[0035] Working principle: As Figures 1 to 4 shown, when the damper operates normally, the pressing spring 7 cooperates with the pressing steel balls 9 to press normally. At this time, the valve mounting hole 10 is in a closed state. At this time, the damper generates a damping force through the damping holes 13, so that the damper plays a normal energy dissipation role. When the speed of the damper increases and exceeds the maximum speed, the pressing spring 7 in the flow control valve assembly 2 is compressed, the oil passage hole 11 is opened, and the entire flow passage is opened. At this time, no matter how the speed increases, energy can be supplemented and the damping force can be increased, thereby protecting the damper body and the structure of the house.
