Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline vibration reduction in the thermal power field, in particular to a pipeline tuned mass damping vibration reduction device. Background Art
[0002] Pipelines, as crucial vehicles for media transmission, are widely used across various industries. Vibration is inevitable when media passes through them. Severe vibration can lead to fatigue fractures and weld cracking, causing leakage of the transmitted media and compromising equipment safety. This is particularly true in thermal power plants, where pipelines are complex, dispersed, and interconnected with numerous devices. Furthermore, the transmitted media are flammable, explosive, high-temperature, and high-pressure, making leakage a serious threat to human safety.
[0003] Pipeline vibration control measures generally include installing brackets, expansion joints, changing the pipeline design structure or installing dampers, but there are defects such as a single control method, limitations such as site conditions, cost, renovation time, and uncertainty in expected control effects. Pipeline vibration control has become a technical challenge.
[0004] A tuned mass damper (TMD) primarily consists of a spring, a mass, and a damping system. Its operating principle is that when the main structure vibrates, the TMD's own frequency approaches the main structure's operating frequency, causing resonance with the main structure and generating vibrations. The damping system dissipates the generated vibration energy, achieving the main structure's vibration reduction effect. TMDs are widely used in pipeline vibration control due to their simple structure, low cost, and the fact that they do not require structural changes.
[0005] Traditional TMDs typically use springs to adjust system stiffness, but springs are generally suitable for low-frequency vibrations. High-frequency vibrations are common in thermal power plants, making springs inadequate for system stiffness. Furthermore, thermal power plants require pipes of varying diameters depending on the type, temperature, and pressure of the medium being transported, but traditional TMDs are generally only suitable for pipes of a constant diameter. Based on this, the present invention designs a variable-diameter cantilevered pipe tuned mass damper structure.
[0006] Therefore, a pipeline tuned mass damping vibration reduction device is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0033] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 The utility model provides an embodiment of a pipeline tuned mass damping vibration reduction device, comprising a plurality of fixed half rings 2, wherein a cantilever beam 3 is slidably connected to the interior of the fixed half ring 2, a frequency modulation component is provided on the outside of the cantilever beam 3, a discus 1 is fixedly connected to the adjacent ends of the plurality of cantilever beams 3, a damping component is provided between the discus 1 and the fixed half ring 2, and an adjustment component is provided between two adjacent fixed half rings 2;
[0035] The frequency modulation component includes a mass block 4, which is internally slidably connected to the outside of the cantilever beam 3. A storage box 15 is provided on the outside of the mass block 4, and a fixed block 10 is fixedly connected to the outside of the storage box 15. A fixed component is provided inside the fixed block 10. The fixed half ring 2 cooperates with the discus 1 to fix the pipeline and support the entire vibration damping device. The cantilever beam 3 is slidably connected inside the fixed half ring 2, serving as the bearing base of the frequency modulation component, and is used to support and adjust the position of the mass block 4, affecting the natural frequency and vibration response of the damping rod 8. The discus 1 is fixed at one end between adjacent cantilever beams 3, and its surface contacts the pipe to be damped, playing a balancing and supporting role. There are multiple mass blocks 4 in the storage box 15, and they are slidably connected together to the outside of the cantilever beam 3. The natural frequency of the damping rod 8 is changed by adjusting its position on the cantilever beam 3. The storage box 15 is used to accommodate and protect multiple mass blocks 4, and the fixed block 10 provides support for the fixed component.
[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2The shock-absorbing assembly includes a shock-absorbing spring 7 and at least one damping rod 8. The shock-absorbing spring 7 is arranged between adjacent discus 1 and fixed half ring 2. One end of the damping rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed half ring 2, and the other end of the damping rod 8 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the discus 1. The shock-absorbing spring 7 is arranged between the adjacent discus 1 and the fixed half ring 2 to absorb vibration, store and release energy through elastic deformation, and reduce the intensity of vibration transmitted to the pipeline system. When the discus 1 is deviated from its position by vibration, the shock-absorbing spring 7 can help it return to its initial state. One end of the damping rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the fixed half ring 2 to ensure the installation stability of the damping rod 8, while allowing it to adjust its angle according to the vibration direction. The other end is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the discus 1 to be able to move with the vibration of the discus 1 to provide a dynamic damping effect. The damping rod 8 converts vibration energy into heat energy or other forms of energy through the internal damping medium (such as liquid, gas or solid friction), thereby reducing the amplitude and duration of vibration, enhancing the energy dissipation capability of the shock-absorbing system, and avoiding vibration resonance in the system.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The adjustment component includes a hinge 16, and a plurality of screw holes 6 are opened on both sides of the hinge 16. Bolts 5 are threadedly connected on both sides of the interior of the fixed half ring 2. The middle of the bolt 5 passes through one of the screw holes 6. The hinge 16 and the bolt 5 work together to connect the two fixed half rings 2. The bolts 5 are inserted into different screw holes 6 to achieve the diameter of the ring composed of the fixed half rings 2.
[0038] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The fixing component includes a shell 14, the outer wall of the shell 14 is fixedly connected to the inside of the fixed block 10, and a pin 13 is slidably connected to the inside of the shell 14. A reset spring 12 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 13, and a pad 11 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pin 13. The shell 14 is used to carry the various components inside it to ensure normal operation. The pin 13 is used to be inserted into a circular hole 9 on the cantilever beam 3, thereby ensuring the fixation of the mass block 4. The reset spring 12 is used to tightly insert the pin 13 into the circular hole 9 in the absence of external force, thereby ensuring the stability of the mass block 4. The pad 11 is used to prevent the pin 13 from being pulled out of the shell 14.
[0039] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4 A plurality of circular holes 9 are provided on the outside of the cantilever beam 3. The pin 13 passes through the fixing block 10 and is inserted into one of the circular holes 9. The pin 13 is inserted into the circular holes 9 at different positions, thereby fixing the mass block 4 at different positions on the cantilever beam 3.
[0040] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 4One end of the shock-absorbing spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed half ring 2, and the other end of the shock-absorbing spring 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the discus 1, and the middle part of the shock-absorbing spring 7 is sleeved on the outside of the cantilever beam 3. The combination of the shock-absorbing spring 7 and the cantilever beam 3 enables the device to provide strong adaptability and shock-absorbing effect when facing different types of vibrations. The shock-absorbing spring 7 absorbs vibration energy and the cantilever beam 3 provides stable support, so that the system can work effectively in a variety of vibration environments.
[0041] Reference Figure 4 The outer side of the pad 11 is slidably connected to the inside of the shell 14, and the end of the latch 13 away from the circular hole 9 is fixedly connected to a pull ring, which is used to facilitate pulling the latch 13.
[0042] Working principle: First, two discus 1 are fitted to the surface of the tube to be damped, and two fixed half rings 2 are connected via hinges 16 and bolts 5. This operation is repeated until the four fixed half rings 2 are fully connected, ultimately forming a structure in which the tube to be damped is fixed by four discus 1. The bolts 5 can be inserted into different screw holes 6 on the hinges 16 to adjust the inner diameter of the ring formed by the fixed half rings 2, thereby adapting to tubes of different sizes to be damped. This connection method is not only easy to disassemble but also flexible to assemble, and has good practicality. When it is necessary to adjust the natural frequency of the damping rod 8, the pad 11 can be slid inside the shell 14 by pulling the pin 13, while compressing the return spring 12. When the pin 13 is pulled out of the circular hole 9 on the cantilever beam 3, the storage box 15 and the mass block 4 inside it can slide along the cantilever beam 3. After sliding to the appropriate position on the cantilever beam 3, the pin 13 is released and reinserted into the corresponding circular hole 9 to complete the fixation of the position of the mass block 4. This adjustment method is convenient and efficient, and can effectively adjust the natural frequency of the damping rod 8, thereby achieving an excellent vibration reduction effect on the vibration of the shock-absorbing tube in any direction.
