Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of engineering vibration control technology, specifically a detachable eddy current tuned mass damper. Background Technology

[0002] Tuned mass dampers are widely used in the field of engineering vibration control and can play a role in various scenarios such as equipment vibration, wind vibration, and human-induced vibration.

[0003] A tuned mass damper mainly consists of three parts: a mass unit, a spring system, and a damping system. The damping system typically employs either viscous damping or eddy current damping. Compared to viscous damping systems, eddy current damping systems do not suffer from liquid evaporation or leakage, thus exhibiting superior durability.

[0004] However, most eddy current damping systems use rare-earth permanent magnets with high magnetic energy to provide the magnetic field. The magnetic energy decay of permanent magnets is greatly affected by operating temperature and environment. After prolonged use, problems such as magnetic energy decay and magnet corrosion and pulverization will still occur. This problem also affects the service life of eddy current tuned mass dampers. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a detachable eddy current tuned mass damper to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a detachable eddy current tuned mass damper, comprising a mass system, a spring system and a detachable eddy current damping system, wherein the mass system is composed of a mass block, which has a groove matching the positioning shaft to ensure the movement space of the positioning shaft during vertical vibration; the mass block is also provided with a dust cover, and the eddy current damping system is arranged in the middle.

[0007] The spring system consists of a helical compression spring, a positioning shaft, a spring limiting ring, and a base plate, providing stiffness to the entire tuned mass damper.

[0008] The detachable eddy current damping system consists of an energy-dissipating copper plate, a limiting slide plate, a permanent magnet back plate, a permanent magnet, an end plate, a rotating chain rod, and a permanent magnet back plate connecting lug.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting slide plate, permanent magnet back plate, permanent magnet, and permanent magnet back plate connecting ear are integrated into a single unit to form a detachable component. This component is replaceable. The limiting slide plate is made of low-friction coefficient wear-resistant materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene. Its main function is to limit the distance between the energy-consuming copper plate and the permanent magnet, thereby ensuring the stability of the damping performance.

[0010] Preferably, the detachable component is bolted to the end plate via a permanent magnet backplate connecting lug, which facilitates replacement. The entire eddy current detachable component can be configured as one or more sets depending on the required damping force and space size requirements. The permanent magnets on the permanent magnet backplate are arranged in an alternating pattern or in a Halebeck array.

[0011] Preferably, the permanent magnet is connected to the base plate via a rotating chain rod, and the energy-dissipating copper plate is connected to the mass block. When the mass block vibrates in coordination with the vibration structure, the energy-dissipating copper plate and the permanent magnet undergo relative motion to generate an induced current, which dissipates the vibration energy.

[0012] This invention provides a detachable eddy current tuned mass damper. It has the following advantages:

[0013] (1) By designing the eddy current damping system as detachable and replaceable, when the eddy current damping system fails, only the eddy current damping system can be replaced, without replacing the entire tuned mass damper.

[0014] (2) The present invention is a detachable component consisting of a permanent magnet back plate, a permanent magnet and a limiting slide plate. When the magnetic energy of the permanent magnet is greatly reduced, the eddy current permanent magnet component can be replaced on site. The specific replacement steps are: remove the dust cover, then separate the connecting ear on the permanent magnet back plate from the end plate, and the component can be taken out and replaced with a new eddy current component.

The mass block 1-1 is also provided with a dust cover 1-3, and the eddy current damping system is arranged in the middle.

[0023] The spring system consists of a helical compression spring 2-1, a positioning shaft 2-2, a spring limiting ring 2-3, and a base plate 2-4, providing stiffness to the entire tuned mass damper.

[0024] The detachable eddy current damping system consists of an energy-dissipating copper plate 3-1, a limiting slide plate 3-2, a permanent magnet back plate 3-3, a permanent magnet 3-4, an end plate 3-5, a rotating chain rod 3-6, and a permanent magnet back plate connecting ear 3-7. The limiting slide plate 3-2, the permanent magnet back plate 3-3, the permanent magnet 3-4, and the permanent magnet back plate connecting ear 3-7 are integrated into a detachable component that can be replaced. The limiting slide plate 3-2 is made of low-friction coefficient wear-resistant materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene, and its main function is to limit the distance between the energy-dissipating copper plate 3-1 and the permanent magnet 3-4 to ensure the stability of the damping performance.

[0025] The detachable component is connected to the end plate 3-5 by bolts through the permanent magnet back plate connecting lug 3-7, which is convenient for replacement.

The permanent magnets 3-4 are arranged in an alternating arrangement or in a Heilbeck array on the permanent magnet back plate 3-3.

[0026] The permanent magnet 3-4 is connected to the base plate 2-4 via the rotating chain 3-6, and the energy-dissipating copper plate 3-1 is connected to the mass block 1-1. When the mass block 1-1 vibrates in coordination with the vibration structure, the energy-dissipating copper plate 3-1 and the permanent magnet 3-4 move relative to each other, generating an induced current and dissipating vibration energy.
