Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a magnetorheological vibration damper, in particular to an external multi-stage coil full-channel magnetorheological vibration damper. Background Art
[0002] Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is a new type of intelligent fluid that can transform from a liquid to a near-solid state under the influence of a magnetic field and then return to a liquid state upon removal of the magnetic field, with the transformation process occurring in milliseconds. Using MRF as a transmission medium, a variety of MR smart devices have been developed and widely used. A typical MR smart device is the MR damper. An input current generates an electromagnetic field within the damper, which in turn controls the viscosity of the MR fluid, resulting in a controllable output damping force.
[0003] Traditional magnetorheological dampers typically have a set of excitation coils wound around the piston head. Prolonged contact with the magnetorheological fluid can lead to corrosion and short circuits, making replacement and maintenance difficult. Furthermore, the heat generated by the excitation coils can affect the performance of the magnetorheological fluid. Furthermore, the magnetorheological effect occurs only in the region where magnetic lines of force pass perpendicularly, known as the effective damping gap. Traditional magnetorheological dampers typically have fluid flow channels located between the piston head and the cylinder barrel, with the effective damping gap limited to just two sections on the left and right sides of the piston head. This results in low magnetic field utilization and limited output damping force. A common method for increasing output damping force is to increase the piston head length, thereby lengthening the effective damping gap, but this increases the size of the damper.
[0004] Furthermore, traditional magnetorheological dampers only dissipate vibration energy and are unable to cushion transient vibration shocks. These factors result in low damping output, unstable performance, and difficulty in replacement and maintenance, limiting their widespread use in automotive vibration reduction. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To overcome the problems of the magnetorheological damper described in the prior art and further meet the practical application requirements of magnetorheological dampers, the present invention proposes a full-channel magnetorheological damper with external multi-stage coils. The damper has a gap between the middle and inner cylinders, forming a fluid flow channel. Four evenly distributed waist-shaped holes are machined on both ends of the inner cylinder. The magnetorheological fluid in the cylinders is squeezed by the piston head and flows through the waist-shaped holes into the fluid flow channel. Furthermore, five sets of excitation coils with alternating polarity are evenly arranged in the damper, and magnetic isolation rings are placed between each of the five sets of excitation coils. When current is applied to the excitation coils, the magnetic induction intensity between adjacent excitation coils is enhanced due to the opposite polarity of the adjacent excitation coils. At the same time, due to the presence of the magnetic isolation rings, the magnetic lines of force generated by the excitation coils pass perpendicularly through the entire fluid flow channel, forming an effective full-channel damping gap in the magnetorheological damper. This effectively improves magnetic field utilization and increases the output damping force without increasing the size of the damper. The external excitation coil facilitates maintenance and replacement while preventing contact with the magnetorheological fluid, which could affect performance. Furthermore, a set of springs connected in parallel to the shock absorber effectively mitigates shock and vibration, further improving damping performance. Compared to traditional magnetorheological shock absorbers, this shock absorber offers stable performance, a compact structure, and greater output damping force, making it more suitable for automotive vibration reduction applications.

[0018] Figure 2The three-dimensional structure diagram of the inner cylinder of the utility model is shown. The left and right ends of the inner cylinder (20) are processed with four evenly distributed waist-shaped holes, and the magnetorheological fluid in the inner cylinder (20) can flow into the liquid flow channel through the waist-shaped holes.
[0019] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the distribution of the fluid flow channel of the present invention. The inner cylinder (20) and the middle cylinder (101) are clearance-matched, forming a fluid flow channel between the two. The waist-shaped holes at the left and right ends of the inner cylinder (20) and the fluid flow channel between the inner cylinder (20) and the middle cylinder (101) connect the left and right chambers of the shock absorber.
[0020] Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the magnetic field line distribution of the excitation coil of the present invention. The inner cylinder (20), outer cylinder (5), winding cylinder I (6), winding cylinder II (8), winding cylinder III (10), winding cylinder IV (12), winding cylinder V (14), and winding cylinder VI (16) are all made of No. 10 steel magnetic conductive material, and the magnetic isolation ring I (7), magnetic isolation ring II (9), magnetic isolation ring III (11), magnetic isolation ring IV (13), and magnetic isolation ring V (15) are all made of stainless steel non-magnetic conductive material. Taking the excitation coil V (26) as an example, the magnetic field lines generated by the electromagnetic effect pass through the winding cylinder I (6), inner cylinder (20), winding cylinder II (8), and outer cylinder (5) in sequence, forming a closed loop. Five groups of excitation coils are evenly wound on the middle cylinder (101). Excitation coil I (21), excitation coil III (24), and excitation coil V (26) are wound clockwise in the groove, and excitation coil II (22) and excitation coil IV (25) are wound counterclockwise in the groove, forming an arrangement with alternating polarities. When current is applied, the magnetic lines of force between the two excitation coils overlap.
[0021] Figure 5 The left end cover (4) is processed with two annular grooves on the right end surface, which are used for fastening and fixing the outer cylinder (5), the middle cylinder (101) and the inner cylinder (20) respectively.
[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] When subjected to external shock vibration, the left support (1) and the right support (17) will produce relative displacement, and the spring (2) connecting the left support (1) and the right support (17) will undergo elastic deformation, playing a buffering role; at the same time, the left support (1) and the left piston rod (2) are connected together, which will drive the piston head (23) to reciprocate in the shock absorber. The magnetorheological fluid is squeezed by the piston head (23) and flows back and forth through the liquid flow channel in the left and right chambers. When current is passed through the excitation coil I (21), the excitation coil II (22), the excitation coil III (24), the excitation coil IV (25) and the excitation coil V (26), the magnetic lines of force generated by the electromagnetic effect pass through and are perpendicular to the entire liquid flow channel. Under the action of the magnetic field, the magnetorheological fluid flowing through the liquid flow channel will produce a magnetorheological effect. The viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid increases with the increase of magnetic induction intensity, thereby generating a controllable damping force, hindering the reciprocating motion of the piston head (23), and thus achieving the effect of suppressing vibration. According to different vibration levels, the input current can be controlled to achieve adaptive adjustment of the damping force and obtain better vibration reduction performance.
