Existing methods use airbags to reduce or eliminate the natural frequency of the workbench above them, thereby achieving a vibration reduction effect. However, when using airbags, the airbags themselves are placed on the ground, and the ground itself has its own natural frequency, which is transmitted to the workbench through the airbags.

[0021] The following is a further detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments:

[0022] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a positive and negative stiffness magnetic spring includes a fixed portion 1 and a floating portion 2. The floating portion 2 includes a first floating seat 21 and a second floating seat 22. The first floating seat 21 and the second floating seat 22 are connected by a connecting plate 5, so that the first floating plate and the second floating plate form a whole. The fixed portion 1 includes a first fixed seat 11, a second fixed seat 12 and a third fixed seat 13. The first fixed seat 11 and the second fixed seat 12 are connected by the connecting plate 5. The second fixed seat 12 and the third fixed seat 13 are connected by an adjusting device 7, so that the fixed portion 1 forms a first accommodating cavity 3 and a second accommodating cavity 4. , and the first floating part 2 and the second floating part 2 are respectively arranged in the first accommodating cavity 3 and the second accommodating cavity 4. When the magnetic spring and the airbag are connected in parallel, the magnetic steel 6 arranged on both sides of the first floating seat 21 and the second floating seat 22 in the vertical direction keep the floating part 2 in a balanced state under the action of magnetic attraction. Among them, the airbag has a positive stiffness structure, and the positive stiffness structure of the airbag makes its natural frequency transmitted to the ground larger, while the magnetic spring has a negative stiffness structure, which is opposite to the stiffness of the airbag. Therefore, it can cooperate with the airbag to reduce the natural frequency, thereby reducing the impact of vibration on the instrument, and improving the accuracy of the precision instrument.

[0023] In this embodiment, the magnetic steel 6 includes a fixed magnetic steel 61 and a floating magnetic steel 62. The plurality of fixed magnetic steels 61 are respectively arranged on the first fixed seat 11, the second fixed seat 12 and the third fixed seat 13, while the floating magnetic steels 62 are respectively arranged on the first floating seat 21 and the second floating seat 22. A floating magnetic steel 62 and a fixed magnetic steel 61 are provided in the first accommodating cavity 3. The floating magnetic steel 62 and the fixed magnetic steel 61 are spaced apart with a gap in between. The spacing makes the interaction of magnetic forces adjustable. By changing the size of the spacing, the distribution and strength of the magnetic lines of force can be adjusted to meet specific application requirements. At the same time, direct contact between the magnetic steels 6 is reduced, thereby reducing friction and wear. The magnetic steel 6 may undergo thermal expansion due to temperature changes during operation. Expansion, the spacing setting allows the magnet 6 to have a certain space to move during thermal expansion, thereby avoiding stress concentration and damage caused by thermal expansion; two fixed magnets 61 and one floating magnet 62 are provided in the second accommodating chamber 4, and there is a gap between the fixed magnet 61 located at the second fixed seat 12 and the floating magnet 62, and there is a second fixed magnet 61 seat between the fixed magnet 61 and the floating magnet 62 located at the third fixed seat 13, and the second fixed magnet 61 seat is separated from the first accommodating chamber 3 and the second accommodating chamber 4. The floating magnet 62 and the fixed magnet 61 of the first accommodating chamber 3 and the floating magnet 62 and the fixed magnet 61 of the second accommodating chamber 4 do not affect each other, ensuring the balance of the floating part 2, improving the stability of the entire system, and thus ensuring the safety of the system.

[0024] Specifically, an adapter plate 8 is provided at one end of the fixed part 1 away from the third fixed seat 13, which cooperates with the airbag to jointly support the workbench. The adapter plate 8 is connected to the first floating seat 21 through a connecting plate 5. The two connecting plates 5 are symmetrical with respect to the corresponding magnetic steels 6. The connecting plates 5 of the fixed part 1 and the connecting plates 5 of the floating part 2 are staggered. Through the staggered arrangement, the connecting plates 5 of the fixed part 1 and the floating part 2 can form a more stable connection structure, which can better withstand external impact and vibration, thereby reducing the natural frequency in the vertical vector and achieving the effect of vibration reduction.

[0025] like Figure 2-Figure 4As shown, the adjustment device 7 includes an adjustment plate 71 and a support plate 72, the support plate 72 is arranged between the second fixing seat 12 and the third fixing seat 13, and a slide groove 73 is formed between the support plate 72 and the second fixing seat 12 to provide a sliding space for the slider 74. The adjustment plate 71 is connected to the second fixing seat 12, the support plate 72 and the slider 74 respectively, wherein the adjustment plate 71 includes a first adjustment hole 711 and a second adjustment hole 712, the first adjustment hole 711 corresponds to the second fixing seat 12, the second adjustment hole 712 corresponds to the slider 74, and the first adjustment hole 711 is in the vertical direction. The first adjusting hole 711 limits the moving distance of the slider 74 through the screw, and the second adjusting hole 712 limits the lifting distance of the second fixing seat 12 through the screw. The magnetic spring can be adjusted according to the slight changes in the airbag, so that the magnetic spring can adapt to a variety of different working conditions. The smooth sliding of the slider 74 in the slide groove 73 and the smooth lifting and lowering of the second fixing seat 12 help to reduce the vibration and noise of the magnetic spring during operation and improve the stability and reliability of the equipment.

[0026] like Figure 4-Figure 5 As shown, in order to improve the stability of the magnetic spring, the slider 74 includes two inclined surfaces 741, and the second fixed seat 12 and the support plate 72 are respectively provided with abutting surfaces 742 corresponding to the two inclined surfaces 741. When the slider 74 moves, the inclined surfaces 741 and the abutting surfaces 742 that fit each other interact with each other, and the two abutting surfaces 742 fit closely with the corresponding two inclined surfaces 741 to minimize the gap between the two, thereby enhancing the stability and precision of the overall structure. The inclined surfaces 741 and the abutting surfaces 742 are guiding mechanisms, which help to maintain the relative position between the second fixed seat 12 and the support plate 72 during the movement, ensuring that they can move according to the predetermined trajectory. At the same time, the close fit between the inclined surfaces 741 and the abutting surfaces 742 can reduce the relative movement between them, thereby reducing friction and wear, and reducing the noise and vibration caused by friction.

[0027] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows:

[0028] When reducing vibration of a precision instrument, the magnetic spring and the airbag are connected in parallel. The airbag and the adapter plate 8 are located below the workbench where the precision instrument is located for vibration reduction. The first floating seat 21 is located between the floating magnetic steel 62 and the fixed magnetic steel 61. The second floating seat 22 is provided with a floating magnetic steel 62, and two fixed magnetic steels 61 are provided on both sides of the floating magnetic steel 62. By magnetic attraction, the floating part 2 is kept in a balanced state. When the airbag transmits positive stiffness, the magnetic spring moves in the vertical vector, generating negative stiffness, thereby reducing the natural frequency of the workbench. At the same time, when the magnetic spring and the airbag are connected in parallel, by removing the screw on the adjustment plate 71, the slider 74 slides in the slide groove 73, and the inclined surface 741 and the abutment surface 742 abut each other, the second fixed seat 12 is lifted, and the balance position and stiffness of the magnetic spring are adjusted. The screw cooperates with the first adjustment hole 711 and the second adjustment hole 712 to complete the horizontal movement of the slider 74 and the vertical movement of the second fixed seat 12. Finally, the screw is tightened to fix the adjustment plate 71.
