Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of chimneys, and in particular relates to a chimney damper with adjustable damping strength. Background Art

[0002] A chimney damper is a device installed on the chimney structure to reduce the vibration and swing of the chimney under the action of wind load, earthquake, etc., so as to protect the structural stability and safety of the chimney.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent publication number CN208108144U discloses a chimney anti-seismic damper for preventing wind-induced vibration resonance in a self-supporting chimney. The damper is mounted at the top of the chimney and includes a housing for connection to the chimney, damping fluid disposed within the housing, and an annular weight suspended in the damping fluid, with the damping fluid level being lower than the height of the housing. The damper is mounted at the top of the chimney. When the damper is shaken by wind, the annular weight is affected by the damping fluid and has a delayed swing.

[0004] In this way, the annular weight and the damping fluid will exert a counterforce on the chimney, reducing the chimney's swing amplitude and its consistency with the wind vibration frequency. This can effectively prevent the chimney's swing frequency from synchronously resonating with the wind vibration frequency, preventing damage to the chimney, improving safety and the chimney's service life, and also increasing the chimney's height-to-diameter ratio. However, the damping provided by this device is not adjustable and cannot adapt to different damping requirements. Utility Model Content

[0011] Preferably, the elastic connection mechanism is a tension spring, and both ends of the tension spring are fixedly connected to the connecting ring of the fixing frame and the connecting ring of the hanging plate respectively.

[0027] Based on the above structure,

[0028] In one embodiment, the top and bottom ends of the fixing frame 1 are threadedly connected with bolts 101, which pass through the fixing frame 1 and are threadedly connected to the existing chimney. Specifically, the device can be fixed to the chimney through two sets of upper and lower bolts 101.

[0029] In this embodiment, connection via bolts 101 can provide sufficient support to fix the device.

[0030] Based on the above structure,

[0031] In one embodiment, a shield 102 is fixedly mounted on the top of the mounting frame 1. The shield 102 is sleeved over the top of the chimney and fixedly connected to the chimney from the outside via bolts 101. Specifically, the shield 102 is sleeved over the top of the chimney from the top and then connected via bolts 101, allowing the entire weight of the device to be directly applied to the chimney.

[0032] In this embodiment, such an arrangement can prevent the bolts 101 from being damaged due to excessive weight of the device.

[0033] Based on the above structure,

[0034] In one embodiment, a connecting ring 203 is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing frame 1 and the hanging plate 3 close to each other. The number of the connecting rings 203 is multiple and the connecting rings 203 are distributed in a circular array. Specifically, the connecting ring 203 can be used to connect the elastic connecting mechanism 2.

[0035] In this embodiment, by providing a plurality of connecting rings 203 , a plurality of elastic connecting mechanisms 2 can be adapted thereto, thereby enabling the plurality of elastic connecting mechanisms 2 to share the gravity of the device.

[0036] Based on the above structure,

[0037] In one embodiment, the elastic connection mechanism 2 is an elastic rope 201, and the two ends of the elastic rope 201 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting ring 203 of the fixing frame 1 and the connecting ring 203 of the hanging plate 3. Specifically, the elastic rope 201 can swing with the fixing frame 1 and has a large swing range.

[0038] Based on the above structure,

[0039] In one embodiment, the elastic connection mechanism 2 is a tension spring 202, and the two ends of the tension spring 202 are respectively fixedly connected to the connecting ring 203 of the fixing frame 1 and the connecting ring 203 of the hanging plate 3. Specifically, the tension spring 202 can be reset by its own elasticity after swinging.

[0040] Based on the above structure,

[0041] In one embodiment, the telescopic mechanism 4 is a symmetrically arranged lifting rope 402, which is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 3 and the counterweight 5, respectively. The lifting plate 3 and the counterweight 5 are fixedly connected via a telescopic sleeve 403.

[0043] Based on the above structure,

[0044] In one embodiment, the counterweight 5 includes an upper plate 501, with a connecting block 502 inserted below the upper plate 501. Multiple connecting blocks 502 are plugged into each other, and the upper plate 501 and the connecting blocks 502 are connected by a hanging rod 503. Specifically, by plugging in different numbers of connecting blocks 502, the weight of the counterweight 5 can be changed, thereby changing the magnitude of the damping force. At the same time, the counterweight 5 of a specified mass can be decomposed into multiple pieces and spliced together for easy installation.

[0045] In this embodiment, by providing the plug-in connection blocks 502 , the damping magnitude can be changed by increasing the number of the connection blocks 502 .

[0046] When in use, the chimney damper with adjustable damping force of this embodiment is connected to the hanging plate 3 through an elastic connecting mechanism 2, so that the elastic connecting mechanism 2 can be used for swinging. By connecting the counterweight block 5 to the hanging plate 3 through the telescopic mechanism 4, the center of gravity of the device can be changed by changing the length of the telescopic mechanism 4, and then the swing range of the counterweight block 5 can be changed, so that the magnitude of the damping force can be adjusted.

[0047] By setting the counterweight block 5 to be composed of multiple connecting blocks 502 spliced together, and connecting the multiple connecting blocks 502 together through a lifting rod 503, the effect of adjusting the damping can be achieved by assembling different numbers of connecting blocks 502. At the same time, the counterweight block 5 of a specified mass can be decomposed into multiple pieces and spliced together for easy installation.
