Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of mass dampers, in particular to a mass damper. Background Art
[0002] A transverse mass damper (TMD) is a vibration reduction device that effectively controls structural vibration through its unique operating principle and ingenious design. It is installed between a mass object and the main structure, such as a high-rise building or a long-span bridge. When the main structure is subjected to external forces, the damper deforms due to the force, accumulating elastic potential energy. Simultaneously, the damper converts some of the vibration energy into heat for consumption. When the elastic potential energy reaches a certain level, the mass begins to move and adjusts the system's resonant frequency by changing its position. The transverse mass damper can adjust its vibration frequency to near the frequency of the main structure, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration reduction.
[0003] During the use of the mass damper, its actual vibration reduction effect is lower than the design expectation. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the natural frequency of the mass damper within a certain range to achieve the optimal working state and meet the design requirements. However, most mass dampers currently do not have a good adjustment function, resulting in poor overall vibration reduction effect. In addition, the direction of the external force is uncertain. The mass damper can only reduce the vibration of the external force in a single direction and cannot perform multi-directional vibration reduction, which is extremely inconvenient.

The vibration frequency can be adjusted to near the frequency of the main structure, thereby achieving the purpose of shock absorption;
[0021] 3.

[0028] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. Obviously, the embodiments described are only a portion of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the mass damper in the embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: an upper support column 2 is provided at the top corner of the lower end of the top plate 1, and a first configuration block 3 is fixedly installed in the middle of the lower end of the top plate 1 by screws, and prefabricated threaded holes 5 aligned with each other are opened inside the top plate 1, the first configuration block 3 and the second configuration block 4. The outer side of the lower end of the first configuration block 3 is connected to the second configuration block 4 also located below the top plate 1. During installation, the top plate 1 is installed on the lower end of the main structure so that the upper end surface of the top plate 1 contacts the lower end surface of the main structure. At the same time, the bolts can be rotated and inserted into the prefabricated threaded holes 5 opened through the top plate 1, the first configuration block 3 and the second configuration block 4 in sequence, so as to facilitate the first configuration block 3 and the second configuration block 4 to be fixedly installed on the outer side of the lower end of the top plate 1. The first configuration block 3 is stacked in sequence in the middle of the lower end of the top plate 1. During use, the first configuration block 3 can be installed and removed by screws, and the mass can be changed by changing the number of the first configuration blocks 3, thereby changing the overall natural frequency and achieving frequency adjustment.
[0031] The bottom plate 6 is arranged parallel to the bottom of the top plate 1, and a lower support column 7 is installed at the top corner of the upper end of the bottom plate 6, and a steel ball 8 is arranged inside the upper end of the lower support column 7, and the upper end of the steel ball 8 is in contact with the lower end surface of the upper support column 2. The steel ball 8 is installed in the middle of the connection between the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7, and the middle part of the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 close to the steel ball 8 are both curved. The upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 are arranged one by one in the upper and lower directions. When the main structure is subjected to horizontal vibration, the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 can respectively roll with the steel ball 8 through the curved surface under the action of vibration to change the relative position of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 6, thereby facilitating the adjustment of the overall resonance frequency and adjusting the vibration frequency to near the main structure frequency, thereby achieving the purpose of shock absorption. At the same time, the outer side of the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 close to the steel ball 8 is provided with a convex structure. The convex structure can block the steel ball 8 to prevent the steel ball 8 from falling off during the shock absorption process;
[0032] The connecting ear 11 is fixedly installed at an equal angle to the middle part of the lower end of the base plate 6, and the inner ball head 12 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting ear 11. The outer ball head 13 is adapted to be connected to the other end of the inner ball head 12, so that the connecting ear 11 has a better fixed installation effect on the inner ball head 12. At the same time, the buffer rod 14 is fixedly installed on the outer end of the outer ball head 13 and is located directly below the base plate 6. The buffer rod 14 is sleeved on the outer side of the lower end with a buffer tube 15, and the buffer rod 14 and the buffer tube 15 are arranged between the two groups of outer ball heads 13. According to the installation method of the connecting ear 11 and the inner ball head 12, A group of inner ball heads 12 on the outside of the lower end of the buffer tube 15 are installed with an object with a certain mass. When the main structure is subjected to vertical vibration, the buffer rod 14 can shrink inside the buffer tube 15 to alleviate the vertical vibration. Combined with the joint action of the upper support column 2, the lower support column 7 and the steel ball 8, the whole can perform multi-directional shock absorption. When the buffer rod 14 and the buffer tube 15 shrink, the outer ball head 13 can rotate on the outside of the inner ball head 12 to ensure that the lower end of the buffer rod 14 shrinks smoothly in the buffer tube 15.
[0033] The upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 are both integrally fixed with a first positioning block 9 at the middle part of the outer side of the end away from the steel ball 8, and a second positioning block 10 that is compatible with the first positioning block 9 is opened inside the top corner of the top plate 1. A prefabricated mounting hole 16 is opened through the top corner of the lower end of the bottom plate 6, and the first positioning block 9 is connected to the bottom plate 6 by a snap-fitting manner through the prefabricated mounting hole 16. The first positioning block 9 is respectively arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7. During assembly, the first positioning block 9 can be respectively inserted into the second positioning block 10 and the prefabricated mounting hole 16, thereby playing a better assembly role for the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7, making it convenient to install the upper support column 2 and the lower support column 7 at the top corners of the top plate 1 and the bottom plate 6, thereby improving the convenience of overall installation.
