Vibration reduction stabilizing device

Abstract

According to the vibration reduction stabilizing device, the flexible part is mounted on the mounting seat, so that when the flexible part is affected by external oscillation, the elastic assembly can perform vibration reduction on the flexible part, and thus the adverse effect of the external oscillation on the photovoltaic module is reduced. In the structure of the mounting seat, the side part is inclined relative to the main body part along the side facing the base, so that when the main body part supports the flexible piece, one end, far away from the main body part, of the side part is relatively far away from the flexible piece. Therefore, the probability of collision between one end, far away from the main body part, of the side part and the photovoltaic module or the flexible part can be effectively reduced, and the probability of damage to the photovoltaic module or the flexible part for supporting the photovoltaic module is reduced. And meanwhile, the side part is arranged obliquely downwards, so that the flexible part flaps on the surface of the side part at a relatively high probability under the influence of external oscillation instead of flapping on the edge, far away from the main body part, of the side part, the abrasion of the flexible part is reduced, and the photovoltaic module can work normally.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of photovoltaic technology, and in particular to vibration reduction and stabilization devices. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of new energy technologies, photovoltaic (PV) modules are widely used in various industries. To adapt to different operating environments, PV modules are typically supported by flexible PV brackets. Meanwhile, to reduce the adverse effects of external vibrations on PV modules, vibration damping and stabilizing devices are generally used to support the flexible components. However, due to the structural design limitations of traditional vibration damping and stabilizing devices, these devices are prone to damaging PV modules or flexible PV brackets, affecting the normal operation of the PV modules. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a vibration reduction and stabilization device that, while achieving effective vibration reduction, reduces the probability of damage to photovoltaic modules or flexible components supporting photovoltaic modules, thereby ensuring the normal operation of photovoltaic modules.

[0004] In a first aspect, this application provides a vibration damping and stabilizing device, which includes: a base, a mounting base, and an elastic component. The mounting base is disposed on the base via the elastic component and is used to support a flexible component that supports a photovoltaic module. The mounting base includes a main body and a side portion disposed on at least one side of the main body along a preset direction. The main body is disposed on the base via the elastic component, and the side portion is inclined relative to the main body along the side facing the base.

[0005] The aforementioned vibration damping and stabilizing device mounts the flexible component on the mounting base. When the flexible component is subjected to external vibrations, the elastic component dampens the vibration, thereby reducing the adverse effects of external vibrations on the photovoltaic module. Because the side portion of the mounting base is inclined relative to the main body towards the base, the end of the side portion furthest from the main body is further away from the flexible component when the main body supports it. This effectively reduces the probability of collision between the side portion furthest from the main body and the photovoltaic module or the flexible component, thus lowering the likelihood of damage to the photovoltaic module or the flexible component supporting it. Simultaneously, because the side portion is inclined downwards, the flexible component is more likely to strike the surface of the side portion when subjected to external vibrations, rather than the edge furthest from the main body. This helps reduce wear on the flexible component, ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic module.

[0006] In some embodiments, the angle between the side portion and the main body portion is denoted as θ, where 30°≤θ≤45°. This design, controlling the angle between the side portion and the main body portion between 30° and 45°, not only allows the flexible component to be supported on the surface of the side portion, but also reduces the probability of one end of the side portion colliding with the photovoltaic module or the flexible component, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.

[0007] In some embodiments, the vibration damping and stabilizing device further includes an adjustment mechanism; the adjustment mechanism includes a drive assembly, a support, and a support member disposed on the support, with a base mounted on the support member. The drive assembly is used to drive the support member to move along the height direction of the support, with a preset direction intersecting the height direction. This design allows the support member to be raised and lowered by the drive assembly for flexible components at different heights, enabling the support member to reach different height positions effectively and improving the practicality of the device.

[0008] In some embodiments, the support has a movement channel extending along its height, the support member slides through the movement channel, and the drive component is at least partially located within the movement channel and is used to drive the support member to move within the movement channel. This design, with the movement channel inside the support, makes the movement of the support member on the support smoother, which is beneficial to improving the adjustment stability of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0009] In some embodiments, the drive assembly includes a drive component and a transmission component that cooperates with the drive component. The drive component is rotatably mounted on a support and is at least partially located in the motion channel. The transmission component is located in the motion channel and cooperates with a support member. When the drive component rotates, it can drive the support member to move through the transmission component. This design, which incorporates both a drive component and a transmission component, facilitates the effective transmission of the drive force from the drive component to the support member. This makes the movement of the support member in the motion channel more efficient and stable, thereby improving the stability of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0010] In some embodiments, the transmission component includes a first gear, a second gear, and a lead screw. The first gear is mounted on the drive component, the second gear is mounted on the support member and meshes with the first gear, the support member is sleeved around the lead screw and screwed to the lead screw, and the support member is anti-rotationally fitted against the inner wall of the motion channel. This design, using the transmission method of the first gear, the second gear, and the lead screw, allows the lead screw to move smoothly within the motion channel, facilitating the adjustment of the height position of the support member.

[0011] In some embodiments, both the first gear and the second gear are bevel gears. This design, with both the first and second gears being bevel gears, facilitates changing the transmission direction between the first and second gears, allowing the drive component to be mounted on the side of the support, and facilitating a reduction in the axial dimension of the support on the lead screw.

[0012] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the support member and the motion channel is provided with a limiting groove extending along the height direction of the support, and a limiting protrusion that mates with the limiting groove. This design, through the interaction of the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion, restricts the support member from rotating with the lead screw, making the movement of the support member in the motion channel more stable and smooth.

[0013] In some embodiments, both the limiting groove and the limiting protrusion include multiple limiting grooves, with all limiting grooves distributed sequentially along the circumference of the movement channel. This design, by distributing all limiting grooves sequentially along the circumference of the movement channel, ensures that the support member is subjected to guiding force in the circumference, further improving the stability of the support member in the movement channel.

[0014] In some embodiments, the drive component includes a drive shaft and a rotating disk. The drive shaft is rotatably mounted on a support. One end of the drive shaft located within the motion channel engages with the support member via a transmission component, while the other end located outside the support is connected to the rotating disk. This design, with the drive component consisting of a drive shaft and a rotating disk, facilitates the operator's rotation of the drive shaft, resulting in more stable movement of the support member.

[0015] In some embodiments, the drive component further includes a positioning element. The support has a positioning hole, and the rotating disk has a through hole corresponding to the positioning hole. The positioning element is used to pass through the through hole and the positioning hole. This design, with the through hole and positioning hole, facilitates the fixing of the rotating disk to the support, reduces the possibility of accidental contact with the rotating disk causing a change in the height of the support, and improves the safety of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0016] In some embodiments, the elastic component includes a mounting cylinder and an elastic element. The mounting cylinder is disposed on the base, and one end of the elastic element is disposed inside the mounting cylinder, while the other end is connected to the main body. This design, by introducing the mounting cylinder and the elastic element, allows the mounting base to elastically expand and contract on the base, achieving effective vibration reduction and buffering. Simultaneously, fixing one end of the elastic element inside the mounting cylinder makes the fixation of that end of the elastic element more stable, which helps to improve the overall structural stability of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0017] In some embodiments, the elastic component further includes a damping member, one end of which is disposed inside the mounting cylinder and the other end of which is connected to the main body. This design, by introducing the damping member, reduces the impact velocity generated by external oscillations affecting the mounting base, thereby enabling the vibration damping and stabilizing device to achieve a better vibration reduction effect on the flexible component.

[0018] In some embodiments, the vibration damping and stabilizing device further includes a guide rod and a limiting part disposed on the guide rod. A guide hole is provided on the base. One end of the guide rod is connected to the mounting base, and the other end passes through the guide hole. The limiting part is located on the side of the base facing away from the mounting base and is connected to one end of the guide rod. This design, with the introduction of the guide rod and guide hole, makes the vertical oscillation of the mounting base more stable, reducing the risk of structural instability caused by the mounting base tilting during oscillation. Simultaneously, the limiting part abuts against the base, limiting the travel distance of the mounting base along the side facing away from the base, thus making the structure of the vibration damping and stabilizing device more stable.

Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0030] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0034] With the development of new energy technologies, photovoltaic (PV) modules are widely used in various industries. Due to the diverse environments in which PV modules are used, flexible PV supports are typically employed to ensure stable operation. However, when the external vibrations in the environment are extreme, the flexible supports can sway, potentially leading to microcracks or breakage of the PV modules. Therefore, vibration damping and stabilizing devices are generally used to support the flexible components and reduce the adverse effects of external factors on the PV modules.

[0035] Because photovoltaic (PV) modules or the flexible PV supports that support them will inevitably undulate to some extent when subjected to external vibrations, the edges of the vibration damping and stabilizing devices are prone to colliding with the PV modules during vibration damping and support processes. This can easily damage the PV modules and affect their normal operation. Simultaneously, the undulating flexible PV supports can also slap against the edges of the vibration damping and stabilizing devices, causing wear and tear on the flexible PV supports, shortening their lifespan, and similarly affecting the normal operation of the PV modules.

[0036] Based on this, addressing the problem that traditional vibration damping and stabilization devices can easily damage photovoltaic modules or flexible components, affecting the normal operation of photovoltaic modules, this application provides a vibration damping and stabilization device. The flexible component is mounted on a mounting base, allowing the device to dampen vibrations in the flexible component when subjected to external oscillations, thereby reducing the adverse effects of external oscillations on the photovoltaic modules. Because the side portion of the mounting base is tilted towards the base relative to the main body, the end of the side portion furthest from the main body is relatively further away from the flexible component when the main body supports it. This effectively reduces the probability of collision between the side portion furthest from the main body and the photovoltaic module or flexible component, thus lowering the likelihood of damage to the photovoltaic module or the flexible component supporting it. Simultaneously, because the side portion is tilted downwards, the flexible component is more likely to strike the surface of the side portion when subjected to external oscillations, rather than striking the edge of the side portion furthest from the main body, which helps reduce wear on the flexible component and ensures the normal operation of the photovoltaic modules.

[0037] Photovoltaic modules refer to devices that convert light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect, used for storing or outputting electrical energy, such as flexible photovoltaic modules. Flexible components refer to the flexible structures that support the photovoltaic modules, such as cables. The photovoltaic modules are fixed to the flexible components, allowing them to be stably suspended in a suitable position. Furthermore, when supporting the flexible components, the number of photovoltaic vibration damping and stabilization devices can be one or multiple; for example, the flexible components can be supported by multiple photovoltaic vibration damping and stabilization devices simultaneously.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a vibration damping and stabilizing device, which includes a base 11, a mounting base 12, and an elastic component 13. The mounting base 12 is disposed on the base 11 via the elastic component 13, and the mounting base 12 is used to support the flexible component 40 on which the photovoltaic module 30 is mounted. The mounting base 12 includes a main body 121 and a side portion 122 disposed on at least one side of the main body 121 along a predetermined direction Y. The main body 121 is disposed on the base 11 via the elastic component 13, and the side portion 122 is inclined relative to the main body 121 towards the base 11.

[0039] It can be seen that when the flexible component 40 is affected by external vibrations, the mounting base 12 can elastically extend and retract on the base 11 through the elastic component 13 to absorb the vibration force on the flexible component 40, making the photovoltaic module 30 on the flexible component 40 safer. Among them, the elastic component 13 may include, but is not limited to, elastic rubber, elastic metal sheet or spring.

[0040] In addition, the number of elastic components 13 can be one or more. When there are multiple elastic components 13, all elastic components 13 are connected at intervals to the main body 121, so that the force on the mounting base 12 is more balanced.

[0041] The side portion 122 is inclined relative to the main body 121 along the side facing the base 11, indicating that both sides of the mounting base 12 have a downward-bent structure, making it more robust and stable than a flat structure. Simultaneously, the inclination of the side portion 122 towards the base 11 indicates that, in the vibration damping support, the side portion 122 is at least partially lower than the main body 121, making it less likely for the side portion 122 to come into contact with the photovoltaic module or flexible component, thus reducing damage to them. Furthermore, the inclination of the side portion 122 towards the base 11 results in an inclined surface, allowing impurities or rainwater to more easily slide off the surface of the side portion 122 during outdoor operations.

[0042] Optionally, the connection between the side portion 122 and the main body 121 can be, but is not limited to, bolting, welding, riveting, etc.; or, each side portion 122 and the main body 121 can be an integrated structure, for example, the mounting base 12 can be formed into the main body 121 and the side portion 122 by bending, injection molding, die casting, 3D printing, etc. The number of side portions 122 can be one or two. When there are two side portions 122, the two side portions 122 are respectively located on opposite sides of the main body 121 along a preset direction Y. The preset direction Y can be configured to be consistent with the extension direction of the flexible member 40, which can also be understood as the flexible member 40 being sequentially supported on the main body 121 and the side portion 122 along the preset direction Y.

[0043] This design effectively reduces the probability of collision between the side portion 122, which is furthest from the main body 121, and the photovoltaic module 30 or the flexible component 40, thereby reducing the likelihood of damage to the photovoltaic module 30 or the flexible component 40 supporting the photovoltaic module 30. Simultaneously, because the side portion 122 is angled downwards, the flexible component 30, when subjected to external vibrations, is more likely to strike the surface of the side portion 122 instead of the edge of the side portion 122 furthest from the main body 121. This helps reduce wear on the flexible component 40, thus ensuring the normal operation of the photovoltaic module 30.

[0044] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 3 The angle between the side portion 122 and the main body portion 121 is denoted as θ, where 30°≤θ≤45°.

[0045] If the angle between the side portion 122 and the main body 121 is too large, such as exceeding 90°, the side portion 122 may be unable to support part of the flexible component 30. If it is too small, one end of the side portion 122 may easily collide with the photovoltaic module 30 or the flexible component 40 during vibration damping. Therefore, in this embodiment, the angle θ is controlled between 30° and 45°, for example, but not limited to 30°, 32°, 34°, 36°, 38°, 40°, 42°, 44°, 45°, etc.

[0046] This design controls the angle between the side portion 122 and the main body 121 to between 30° and 45°, which not only allows the flexible component 40 to be partially supported on the surface of the side portion 122, but also reduces the probability of one end of the side portion 122 colliding with the photovoltaic module 30 or the flexible component 40, thereby improving the reliability of the structure.

[0047] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4The vibration damping and stabilizing device also includes an adjustment mechanism 20; the adjustment mechanism 20 includes a drive component 23, a support 21 and a support member 22 disposed on the support 21, the base 11 is mounted on the support member 22, the drive component 23 is used to drive the support member 22 to move along the height direction X of the support 21, and the preset direction Y intersects with the height direction X.

[0048] The drive assembly 23 refers to the structure that provides power for the movement of the support member 22 on the support 21. The power can be provided by automatic equipment, such as a motor, electric cylinder, pneumatic cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder. It can also be provided manually, for example, by manually driving the drive assembly 23 to move the support member 22 on the support 21.

[0049] To ensure stable movement of the support member 22 on the support 21, the support member 22 can be disposed on the surface of the support 21. For example, a guide rail structure can be provided on the surface of the support 21, and the support member 22 can slide and be locked onto the guide rail structure. Alternatively, the support member 22 can also be disposed inside the support 21, allowing it to slide and fit inside the support 21. Simultaneously, a fixing plate 17 can be provided at the bottom of the support 21 to facilitate stable fixing of the support 21 in the installation area.

[0050] In addition, there are various ways to install the vibration damping and stabilizing device on the support 22, such as, but not limited to, bolt connection, snap-fit, riveting, pin connection, welding, etc.

[0051] With this design, the support member 22 can be raised and lowered by the drive component 23 for the flexible member 40 at different heights, so that the support member 22 can reach different heights. This makes it easier to effectively adapt to the support of the flexible member 40 at different heights and improves the practicality of the device.

[0052] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The support 21 is provided with a movement channel 211 extending along its own height direction X. The support member 22 is slidably inserted in the movement channel 211. The drive component 23 is at least partially located in the movement channel 211 and is used to drive the support member 22 to move in the movement channel 211.

[0053] As can be seen, the motion channel 211 is a channel structure extending along the height direction X inside the support 21. One end of it needs to penetrate one end of the support 21 to facilitate the support member 22 to pass through the motion channel 211 from the support 21. The part of the support member 22 extending out of the motion channel 211 is connected to the vibration damping and stabilizing device. The cross-sectional shape of the motion channel 211 can be designed in various ways, such as, but not limited to, square, circular, elliptical, pentagonal, etc. At the same time, the cross-sectional shape of the support member 22 can match the cross-sectional shape of the motion channel 211 to make the movement of the support member 22 in the motion channel 211 more stable.

[0054] When the support member 22 passes through the motion channel 211, in order for the drive assembly 23 to drive the support member 22 to move, the drive assembly 23 must be located at least partially in the motion channel 211. For example, when the drive assembly 23 is a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, electric cylinder or other equipment, the telescopic end of the drive assembly 23 passes through the motion channel 211 and is connected to the support member 22.

[0055] This design, with a movement channel 211 inside the support 21, makes the movement of the support 22 on the support 21 more stable, which is beneficial to improving the adjustment stability of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0056] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 4 The drive assembly 23 includes a drive component 231 and a transmission component 232 that cooperates with the drive component 231. The drive component 231 is rotatably mounted on the support 21 and is at least partially located in the motion channel 211. The transmission component 232 is located in the motion channel 211 and cooperates with the support member 22. When the drive component 231 rotates, it can drive the support member 22 to move through the transmission component 232.

[0057] The transmission component 232 refers to the structure that can convert the rotational force of the drive component 231 into the moving force of the support component 22. There are various structural designs. For example, the transmission component 232 can be a lead screw mechanism or a crank-slider mechanism. Of course, the transmission component 232 can also be a combination structure of gear and rack. For example, the rotation of the gear drives the rack to move up and down, thereby driving the support component 22 to move.

[0058] The drive component 231 can be an automatic drive device, such as a motor; or it can be a manually driven structure, such as a shaft structure.

[0059] This design, which divides the drive assembly 23 into a drive component 231 and a transmission component 232, facilitates the effective transmission of the driving force of the drive assembly 23 to the support component 22, making the movement of the support component 22 in the motion channel 211 more effective and stable, and thus improving the stability of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0060] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The transmission component 232 includes a first gear 23e, a second gear 23f, and a lead screw 23g. The first gear 23e is mounted on the drive component 231, and the second gear 23f is mounted on the support member 22 and meshes with the first gear 23e. The support member 22 is sleeved on the lead screw 23g and screwed to the lead screw 23g. The support member 22 is anti-rotationally engaged with the inner wall of the motion channel 211.

[0061] The first gear 23e and the second gear 23f mesh with each other. When the first gear 23e rotates together with the drive component 231, the first gear 23e drives the second gear 23f to rotate around its own axis. After the second gear 23f rotates, it drives the second lead screw 23g to rotate. Since the support member 22 is screwed to the lead screw 23g and is anti-rotationally engaged with the inner wall of the motion channel 211, when the lead screw 23g rotates, the support member 22 moves up and down along the height direction X under the anti-rotation action of the inner wall of the motion channel 211, thereby achieving effective adjustment of the height direction X.

[0062] In this configuration, both the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f can be spur gears, so that the axis of the driving component 231 is collinear or parallel to the axis of the lead screw 23g; or, both the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f can be bevel gears, so that the axis of the driving component 231 can intersect with the axis of the lead screw 23g, changing the driving direction of the driving component 231. This eliminates the need for the driving component 231 and the lead screw 23g to be installed on the same axial direction, which helps to reduce the size of the vibration damping and stabilizing device in the height direction X.

[0063] It should also be noted that the anti-rotation fit between the support member 22 and the inner wall of the motion channel 211 is intended to prevent the support member 22 from rotating with the lead screw 23g. When the support member 22 does not rotate with the lead screw 23g, the thread on the lead screw 23g will drive the support member 22 to move along the height direction X. There are several ways to prevent rotation between the support member 22 and the inner wall of the motion channel 211. For example, the cross-sections of both the support member 22 and the inner wall of the motion channel 211 can be designed as non-circular structures; or, a protruding structure can be provided on the support member 22, and a groove-like structure extending along the height direction X can be provided on the inner wall of the motion channel 211, etc.

[0064] In addition, there are several ways to screw the support member 22 and the lead screw 23g. For example, one end of the support member 22 is fixed with a nut, which is screwed onto the lead screw 23g; or, one end of the support member 22 is provided with an internal thread that screws onto the lead screw 23g.

[0065] This design employs a transmission method consisting of a first gear 23e, a second gear 23f, and a lead screw 23g, which allows the lead screw 23g to move smoothly within the motion channel 211, facilitating the adjustment of the height position of the support member 22.

[0066] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 Both the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f are bevel gears.

[0067] When both the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f are bevel gears, their respective axes intersect, such as being perpendicular to each other, which changes the transmission direction of the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f. This allows the drive component 231 to be mounted on the side of the support 21, making it easier to shorten the axial dimension of the support 21 on the lead screw 23g.

[0068] This design, in which both the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f are bevel gears, facilitates changing the transmission direction between the first gear 23e and the second gear 23f, allowing the drive component 231 to be mounted on the side of the support 21, thus shortening the axial dimension of the support 21 on the lead screw 23g.

[0069] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 6 In the inner wall of the support member 22 and the movement channel 211, one of them is provided with a limiting groove 212 extending along the height direction X of the support 21, and the other is provided with a limiting protrusion 221 that cooperates with the limiting groove 212.

[0070] It can be seen that the limiting groove 212 can be provided on the support member 22, and the limiting protrusion 221 can be provided on the inner wall of the movement channel 211; or, the limiting groove 212 can be provided on the inner wall of the movement channel 211, and the limiting protrusion 221 can be provided on the support member 22. Since the limiting groove 212 extends along the height direction X, the movement of the support member 22 in the movement channel 211 can be guided by the limiting protrusion 221 and the limiting groove 212, making the movement more stable and smooth; at the same time, it also restricts the support member 22 from rotating together with the lead screw 23g.

[0071] With this design, the limiting groove 212 and the limiting protrusion 221 cooperate to restrict the support member 22 from rotating together with the lead screw 23g, so that the support member 22 moves more smoothly and steadily in the motion channel 211.

[0072] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 6 The limiting groove 212 and the limiting protrusion 221 each include multiple ones, and all the limiting grooves 212 are distributed sequentially along the circumference of the motion channel 211.

[0073] It should be noted that the limiting groove 212 and the limiting protrusion 221 can be configured one-to-one, or multiple limiting protrusions 221 can be inserted into the same limiting groove 212. Specifically, in some embodiments, the limiting groove 212 and the limiting protrusion 221 are configured one-to-one.

[0074] This design distributes all the limiting grooves 212 sequentially along the circumference of the movement channel 211, so that the support member 22 is guided by the circumference, which further improves the stability of the support member 22 in the movement channel 211.

[0075] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 5 The drive component 231 includes a drive shaft 23c and a rotating disk 23a. The drive shaft 23c is rotatably mounted on the support 21. One end of the drive shaft 23c located in the motion channel 211 cooperates with the support member 22 through the transmission component 232, and the other end located outside the support 21 is connected to the rotating disk 23a.

[0076] The drive shaft 23c is rotatably connected to the support 21, allowing it to rotate about its own axis. When the drive shaft 23c rotates, it can drive the support member 22 to move up and down in the motion channel 211 via the transmission component 232. There are several ways to install the drive shaft 23c on the support 21, such as: providing a shaft hole in the support 21 and having the drive shaft 23c pass through the shaft hole; or providing a bearing in the support 21 and fixing the drive shaft 23c to the inner ring of the bearing, etc.

[0077] The rotating disk 23a is located outside the support 21, facilitating the operator's operation and rotation of the drive shaft 23c. The rotating disk 23a can have various shapes, such as circular, elliptical, or square. Furthermore, the connection between the rotating disk 23a and the drive shaft 23c can be varied, including bolted connections, threaded connections, snap-fit ​​connections, and pin connections.

[0078] In addition, to facilitate the rotation of the rotating disk 23a, an operating handle 23d can be provided on the rotating disk 23a for easy gripping by the operator.

[0079] This design, with the drive component 231 consisting of a drive shaft 23c and a rotating disk 23a, makes it easier for the operator to rotate the drive shaft 23c, thus making the movement of the support component 22 more stable.

[0080] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 The drive component 231 also includes a positioning element 24. The support 21 is provided with a positioning hole 213, and the rotating disk 23a is provided with a through hole 23b corresponding to the positioning hole 213. The positioning element 24 is used to pass through the through hole 23b and the positioning hole 213.

[0081] When the adjustment mechanism 20 does not require height adjustment, the positioning member 24 can be inserted into the through hole 23b and the positioning hole 213 to fix the rotating disk 23a, reducing the possibility of accidentally touching the rotating disk 23a and causing the height of the support member 22 to change; when the adjustment mechanism 20 requires height adjustment, the positioning member 24 can be pulled out from the through hole 23b and the positioning hole 213 to release the fixation of the rotating disk 23a.

[0082] To facilitate the fixing of the rotating disk 23a to different positions on the support 21, multiple positioning holes 213 can be provided, all spaced circumferentially along the axis of rotation. Thus, by inserting a positioning element 24 through the through hole 23b and the different positioning holes 213, the rotating disk 23a can be fixed at different positions on the support 21. The positioning element 24 can be, but is not limited to, screws, pins, etc.

[0083] This design, with the introduction of perforations 23b and positioning holes 213, facilitates the fixing of the rotating disk 23a to the support 21, reduces the possibility of accidental contact with the rotating disk 23a causing a change in the height of the support 22, and improves the safety of the vibration damping and stabilizing device.

[0084] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 Optionally, the elastic component 13 includes a mounting cylinder 131 and an elastic element 132. The mounting cylinder 131 is disposed on the base 11, and one end of the elastic element 132 is disposed inside the mounting cylinder 131, while the other end is connected to the main body 121.

[0085] It should be noted that when one end of the elastic element 132 is placed inside the mounting cylinder 131, one end of the elastic element 132 is stably fixed, so that when the elastic element 132 is stretched or compressed, its end is not easily ejected from the mounting cylinder 131. The elastic element 132 can be, but is not limited to, a spring, elastic rubber, etc. Furthermore, there are various ways to fix the mounting cylinder 131 to the base 11, such as: bolt connection, snap-fit, pin connection, welding, riveting, etc.; or, the mounting cylinder 131 and the base 11 can be an integrated structure.

[0086] Furthermore, the number of elastic components 13 is not limited to Figure 8 The two shown in the figure can also be others, such as three, four, five, etc. When there are more than two elastic components 13, two of the elastic components 13 can be located on opposite sides of the adjustment mechanism 20 and are both connected to the main body 121 and the base 11.

[0087] This design, by introducing the mounting cylinder 131 and the elastic element 132, allows the mounting base 12 to elastically expand and contract on the base 11, achieving effective vibration reduction and buffering. At the same time, fixing one end of the elastic element 132 inside the mounting cylinder 131 makes the fixation of one end of the elastic element 132 more stable, which helps to improve the overall stability of the vibration reduction and stabilization device.

[0088] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 The elastic component 13 also includes a damping component 14, one end of which is disposed inside the mounting cylinder 131 and the other end is connected to the main body 121.

[0089] The damping component 14 refers to a telescopic structure that can reduce the vibration of the mounting base 12. For example, when the mounting base 12 is subjected to oscillation by the flexible member 40 and impacts the base 11, the damping component 14 will apply a force to the mounting base 12 along the side away from the base 11, reducing the impact speed of the mounting base 12 towards the base 11. Since the specific structure of the damping component 14 is not the object of improvement in this embodiment, its specific structure will not be described in detail here, and existing literature can be directly referred to.

[0090] This design incorporates a damping component 14 to reduce the impact speed of the mounting base 12 caused by external oscillations, thus enabling the vibration damping and stabilizing device to achieve a better vibration damping effect on the flexible component 40.

[0091] Optionally, according to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 7 The vibration damping and stabilizing device also includes a guide rod 15 and a limiting part 16 provided on the guide rod 15. The base 11 is provided with a guide hole 111. One end of the guide rod 15 is connected to the mounting base 12, and the other end passes through the guide hole 111. The limiting part 16 is located on the side of the base 11 facing away from the mounting base 12 and is connected to one end of the guide rod 15.

[0092] As can be seen, the guide rod 15 passes through the guide hole 111. Thus, when the mounting base 12 oscillates up and down relative to the base 11, the guide rod 15 engages with the guide hole 111, making the oscillation of the mounting base 12 more stable and reducing the risk of structural instability caused by the mounting base 12 tilting during oscillation. Simultaneously, a limiting part 16 is provided at the end of the guide rod 15 away from the mounting base 12. This limiting part 16 abuts against the base 11, restricting the travel of the mounting base 12 along the side away from the base 11.

[0093] The guide rod 15 and the guide hole 111 can be one or more. The two guide holes 111 can be located on opposite sides of the support member 22, and the guide rod 15 and the guide hole 111 are set one-to-one.

[0094] This design, with the introduction of guide rod 15 and guide hole 111, makes the up-and-down oscillation of the mounting base 12 more stable, reducing the risk of structural instability caused by the mounting base 12 tilting during oscillation. At the same time, the limiting part 16 abuts against the base 11, limiting the travel of the mounting base 12 along the side away from the base 11, making the structure of the vibration damping and stabilizing device more stable.

[0095] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 8 This application provides a vibration damping and stabilizing device, which includes a support 21, a support member 22, a lead screw 23g, a first gear 23e, a second gear 23f, a rotating disk 23a, and a drive shaft 23c. The support member 22 and the lead screw 23g are both inserted into the support 21, with the support member 22 sleeved around and screwed onto the lead screw 23g. The support member 22 has a limiting protrusion 221, and the inner wall of the support 21 has a limiting groove 212 that mates with the limiting protrusion 221. The rotating disk 23a is rotatably connected to the support 21 via the drive shaft 23c. The first gear 23e is connected to one end of the drive shaft 23c inside the support 21, and the second gear 23f is connected to the lead screw 23g and meshes with the first gear 23e. Thus, rotating the rotating disk 23a causes the support member 22 to move up and down within the support 21, supporting the flexible component 40 at different heights.

[0096] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
