Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel chimneys, in particular to a steel chimney damper with combined mass and liquid tuning. Background Technique

[0002] According to the "Technical Standard for Chimney Engineering", for tall steel chimneys that undergo cross-wind vortex-induced resonance and the Scruton number SC is not greater than 15, vibration reduction devices can be installed on the chimneys to avoid excessive deformation damage or fatigue damage of the chimneys. The vibration reduction devices have two forms: mass dampers and liquid dampers. The mass damper forms a vibration reduction secondary system through a mass ring, spring isolators, and suspension steel wires. The liquid damper forms a vibration reduction system through a separated box body and liquid.

[0003] For the damped chimney main system, the mass, frequency, and damping ratio of the damper at its top all affect its vortex-induced amplitude. For mass or liquid dampers, when their natural frequencies are consistent with the first natural frequency of the chimney, the mass ring of the damper and the movement of the chimney present a phase difference of π / 2, and the vibration reduction effect is the best. At the same time, the larger the mass of the mass ring of the mass damper or the damping liquid of the liquid damper, the greater the vibration reduction force, and the greater the additional load at the top of the chimney, which affects the static mechanical effect of the chimney structure.

[0004] Therefore, there is currently no damper with combined mass and liquid tuning to adapt to the use of steel chimneys. Content of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a steel chimney damper with combined mass and liquid tuning, and its advantage is to combine and tune the mass and liquid dampers into a system design to improve its vibration reduction effect.

[0006] To achieve the above purpose and other related purposes, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A steel chimney damper with combined mass and liquid tuning, including a chimney body,

[0008] An annular liquid damping device, which is fixedly arranged on the circumferential outer wall of the chimney body;

[0009] Spring isolators, at least two spring isolators are fixed on the outer side wall of the annular liquid damping device;

[0010] A mass ring, the mass ring is sleeved on the spring isolator and the mass ring is fixedly connected with the spring isolator;

[0011] A top plate bracket, the top plate bracket is fixed on the outer wall of the chimney body above the mass ring, and a suspension rope with one end fixedly connected to the mass ring is fixedly arranged on the top plate bracket.

[0012] With the above technical solution, when transverse vortex-induced resonance occurs in the chimney, the wind vibration energy can be fully dissipated through the mass damper and the liquid damper. Part of the wind vibration energy is converted into the potential energy of the mass ring and then into its swinging kinetic energy; the remaining wind vibration energy is converted into the potential energy of the damping liquid and then into its flowing kinetic energy, working together synergistically and coupling to dissipate energy, thereby dissipating the wind vibration energy of the chimney main system and reducing its wind vibration amplitude.

[0013] In an embodiment of the present invention, the annular liquid damping device includes a partition box fixed on the chimney body and damping liquid injected into the partition box.

[0014] In an embodiment of the present invention, at least one radial partition plate is radially fixed in the partition box; the radial partition plate divides a radial cavity in the partition box; a liquid injection nozzle communicating with the radial cavity is provided on the partition box.

[0015] In an embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of axial partition plates are axially fixed in the radial cavity, and through holes are formed in the axial partition plates.

[0016] In an embodiment of the present invention, the partition box includes two annular plates disposed opposite to each other and respectively fixedly connected to the chimney plate body, an outer side plate fixedly connected to both ends of the two annular plates respectively, and an inner side plate disposed opposite to the outer side plate and fixedly connected to both ends of the two annular plates respectively.

[0017] In an embodiment of the present invention, a spring bracket is fixedly provided on the outer side plate, and the spring vibration isolator is fixedly provided on the spring bracket.

[0018] As described above, a steel chimney damper with combined mass and liquid tuning of the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. The steel chimney damper with combined mass and liquid tuning creatively designs the two into a system. By designing the optimal mass ratio and stiffness ratio of the combined tuning damper and the chimney main system, and the optimal damping ratio of the chimney-combined damper structure system, the mass damper and the liquid damper work together synergistically and couple to dissipate energy, making the vibration amplitude of the entire chimney-combined damper structure system the smallest in the full frequency band, giving more safety margins to steel chimneys with thinner wall thicknesses and greater heights.

[0020] 2. Under the same design conditions, the liquid mass ratio of the liquid damper of the combined tuning steel chimney damper is smaller than that of a single liquid damper; the mass ring thickness in the mass damper is smaller than that of a single mass damper. With the same vibration reduction and energy dissipation effect, the participating mass of the combined tuning damper is smaller than that of a single one, reducing the additional load on the chimney.

There is a certain distance between the inner side plate 13 and the chimney body 1, so as to prevent the liquid from directly contacting the chimney body 1 and avoid the chimney body 1 from being corroded by the damping liquid; a cavity for accommodating the damping liquid is formed between the two ring plates 11, the inner side plate 13 and the outer side plate 12; at least one radial partition plate 8 is fixedly arranged radially in the partition box 201, and the radial partition plate 8 divides a radial cavity in the cavity of the partition box 201, and a liquid injection nozzle communicating with the radial cavity is arranged on the partition box 201;
