[0024] See Figure 1 This utility model provides a cold head vibration damping mechanism, including two opposing base plates 1; multiple damping modules 2 and elastic modules 3 are arranged between the two base plates 1;
[0025] The elastic module 3 is configured to convert vibration energy into elastic stretching;
[0026] The damping module 2 is configured to absorb the energy of elastic stretching, thereby eliminating vibration;
[0027] This invention, through the cooperation of the elastic module 3 and the damping module 2, can quickly and fully absorb vibration energy, thus preventing temperature fluctuations caused by the vibration and affecting refrigeration.
[0028] Combination Figure 2 As one embodiment, the damping module 2 and the elastic module 3 of this utility model are arranged in pairs; they can cooperate with each other to absorb vibration energy.
[0029] In one embodiment, the substrate 1 is disc-shaped, and the damping module 2 and the elastic module 3 are uniformly arranged around the center of the substrate 1;
[0030] Furthermore, the damping module 2 and the elastic module 3 of this utility model are in the form of 6-10 pairs, preferably 7, 8, or 9 pairs.
[0031] As one embodiment, a circular hole is provided at the center of the substrate 1, and a bellows 4 is connected between the circular holes of the two substrates 1; the bellows 4 can absorb vibration energy and also has the function of vacuum sealing.
[0032] See Figure 3 As one embodiment, the damping module 2 of this utility model includes a rubber column 21, and a fixing head 22 is respectively provided at both ends of the rubber column 21; the fixing head 22 is respectively fixed on the base plate 1 on the corresponding side; under the action of vibration force, the rubber column 21 produces tensile or compressive deformation, thereby consuming vibration energy.
[0033] Furthermore, a threaded hole 221 is provided at the center of the fixing head 22; the fixing head 22 is fixed to the base plate 1 by a locking screw 13.
[0034] Even better, the fixing head 22 is made of metal, and the fixing head 22 and the base plate 1 have high rigidity, which can transmit vibration to the rubber column 21.
[0035] See Figure 4 As one embodiment, the elastic module 3 of this utility model includes a spring 31 sandwiched between two substrates 1; it can convert vibration energy into reciprocating elastic expansion and contraction, reducing the vibration frequency. At the same time, it works in conjunction with the rubber column 21 to consume the elastic energy of expansion and contraction, so that the expansion and contraction amplitude is reduced rapidly, thereby achieving the purpose of vibration reduction.
[0036] Furthermore, each end of the spring 31 is fitted with a support head 32 fixed on the base plate 1 to prevent the spring 31 from shifting.
[0037] Preferably, the support head 32 is made of PTFE material; the friction between it and the spring 31 is small, allowing for a rapid response to vibration.
[0038] Even better, the support head 32 is fixedly connected to the locking nut 33; the locking nut 33 is fixed to the base plate 1 by the locking screw 13; the connection between the locking nut 33 and the base plate 1 is strong, which can fully transmit vibration to the spring 31;
[0039] In one embodiment, an adjusting rod 11 is threaded between the two substrates 1, and an adjusting nut 12 is screwed onto the adjusting rod 11. The distance between the two substrates 1 can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting nut 12 to achieve optimal matching between the damping module 2 and the elastic module 3, thus achieving the best vibration reduction effect. Adjusting the distance causes the spring 31 to be in a slightly compressed state, so that both ends of the spring 31 abut against the support head 32 with a certain elastic force, preventing loosening at the contact point and thus avoiding vibration. Simultaneously, the rubber column 21 is in a slightly compressed state, allowing it to quickly dissipate energy during vibration.
[0040] This utility model also provides a dilution refrigeration machine, including a cold head and a thermostat module; it has the aforementioned cold head vibration damping mechanism; one base plate 1 of the vibration damping mechanism is connected to the cold head, and the other base plate 1 is connected to the thermostat module.
[0041] In summary, this utility model provides a cold head vibration damping mechanism that, through the cooperation of an elastic module and a damping module, can quickly and fully absorb vibration energy, preventing temperature fluctuations caused by the vibration and affecting refrigeration. This utility model also provides a dilution refrigeration unit with a cold head vibration damping mechanism; one base plate of the damping mechanism is connected to the cold head, and the other base plate is connected to a thermostat module.
[0042] Of course, there may be other embodiments of this utility model. Without departing from the spirit and essence of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make various corresponding changes and modifications based on this utility model, but these corresponding changes and modifications should all fall within the protection scope of the appended claims of this utility model.
