Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorption equipment technology, and in particular to a self-cooling viscous damper. Background Technology

[0002] Viscous dampers, as an important energy-dissipating and vibration-damping device, have been widely used in civil engineering, mechanical engineering and other fields. They dissipate energy through the flow of viscous fluid, thereby reducing the response of structures under dynamic loads such as earthquakes and wind vibrations. Early viscous dampers were mainly used in some large building structures and bridge projects. With the continuous development of technology, their application scope has gradually expanded to various industrial and civil buildings, equipment foundations and some mechanical systems that require vibration reduction and noise reduction.

[0003] A typical self-cooling viscous damper consists of a damper, a cooling device, and a water injection pipe. The damper utilizes the viscous resistance generated by the viscous fluid during piston movement to convert mechanical energy into heat energy, thereby consuming vibration energy and playing a damping and shock absorption role. The cooling device dissipates the heat generated by the damper during operation to the surrounding environment through heat sinks. The water injection pipe is used to inject an appropriate amount of water into the cooling device.

[0004] In existing technologies, some devices rely solely on simple natural heat dissipation structures, resulting in extremely low heat dissipation efficiency. After prolonged operation, the coolant temperature continues to rise, failing to effectively control the damper's temperature within a reasonable range. Consequently, sufficient and stable cooling of the damper cannot be guaranteed. This not only leads to a decrease in the damping performance of the damper, preventing it from effectively dissipating energy and reducing vibration, but also easily causes damage to the internal components of the damper due to overheating, shortening the damper's service life and increasing maintenance costs and safety hazards. Therefore, a self-cooling viscous damper is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a self-cooling viscous damper, which aims to improve the problem that some existing devices cannot dissipate heat from the coolant, resulting in low heat dissipation efficiency and failure to guarantee the cooling effect of the damper.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A self-cooling viscous damper includes a damping shell, a support end fixedly connected to one end of the outer surface of the damping shell, a sliding end fixedly connected to the other end of the damping shell, a sliding rod slidably connected inside the sliding end, a connecting end fixedly connected to the other end of the sliding rod, a partitioning mechanism provided outside the connecting end, a cooling mechanism provided outside the damping shell, the cooling mechanism including a protective shell, the interior of the protective shell fixedly connected to the exterior of the damping shell, multiple vent holes opened on the exterior of the protective shell, a circulation pipe fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell, a heat dissipation fin fixedly connected to one end of the circulation pipe, a delivery pipe fixedly connected to the output end of the heat dissipation fin, a pressurization pipe fixedly connected to the other end of the delivery pipe, a circulation assembly fixedly connected to the exterior of the pressurization pipe, and a heat dissipation assembly fixedly connected to the exterior of the protective shell.

[0008] Specifically, when the damper is working, heat is generated inside the damping shell and transferred to the outer shell. The protective shell covers the damping shell, and its vents allow air to circulate, aiding in heat dissipation. The coolant in the circulation pipe absorbs the heat from the damping shell and begins to circulate under the drive of the circulation component. The coolant that has absorbed heat flows to the heat dissipation fins, where the heat is dissipated. The cooled coolant then enters the pressurization pipe through the delivery pipe. The circulation component pressurizes the coolant, causing it to circulate continuously in the circulation pipe and other pipes. At the same time, the heat dissipation component accelerates the airflow, further assisting the heat dissipation fins in heat dissipation, maintaining the efficient operation of the entire cooling mechanism, and ensuring that the damper operates at a suitable temperature.

[0009] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0010] The partitioning mechanism includes a fixed base, the interior of which is fixedly connected to the exterior of the connecting end. Multiple support bases are fixedly connected to the exterior of the fixed base, and a connecting rod is fixedly connected to the interior of each of the multiple support bases. A baffle tube is fixedly connected to the other end of each of the multiple connecting rods.

[0011] Specifically, when the connecting end moves, it drives the fixed seat connected to it to move. The fixed seat drives the connecting rod to move through the support seat. The connecting rod then drives the baffle tube to move. The movement of the baffle tube can cooperate with structures such as the cooling mechanism to participate in the heat dissipation and overall operation adjustment of the damper.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] The sliding end is fixedly connected to a fixing ring, and the fixing ring is fixedly connected to a plurality of slide rail plates.

[0014] Specifically, when the sliding rod drives the connecting end and related structures to move, the sliding end remains relatively stable, and the fixing ring follows the sliding end to provide support for the slide rail plate, so that the slide rail plate provides stable guidance for the sliding of the connecting rod.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0016] The exterior of the plurality of connecting rods is slidably connected to the interior of the plurality of slide rails, and the interior of the baffle tube is slidably connected to the exterior of the cooling mechanism;

[0017] Specifically, the connecting rod slides within the slide rail plate, limiting the direction of movement. At the same time, the connecting rod drives the baffle tube to slide outside the cooling mechanism, participating in heat dissipation regulation.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] The heat dissipation assembly includes an air vent housing, which is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective housing, and multiple fans are fixedly connected to the outside of the air vent housing.

[0020] Specifically, when the fan starts, the air vent housing secures the fan and guides the airflow, and the fan rotates to allow air to pass through the air vent housing.

[0021] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0022] The interior of the air vent housing is supported on the exterior of the heat dissipation fins, and the adjacent sides of the plurality of fans are supported on the exterior of the heat dissipation fins.

[0023] Specifically, when the fan is powered on, it draws in outside air, and the air passage guides the airflow so that the air blown out of the fan flows through the internally supported heat dissipation fins, enhancing the heat exchange between the heat dissipation fins and the air.

[0024] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0025] The circulation assembly includes a circulation pump, the output end of which is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressurization pipe, and a fixed housing is fixedly connected to the outside of the circulation pump.

[0026] Specifically, the circulation pump draws coolant into the pressurization pipe, and the fixed casing stabilizes the circulation pump to ensure its stable operation and continuously provide power for coolant circulation.

[0027] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0028] The fixed shell is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective shell, and the pressure tube is supported inside the fixed shell.

[0029] Specifically, the fixed housing is connected to the protective housing to provide stable support. The pressurization pipe is inside the fixed housing and uses the pressure of the circulating pump to drive the coolant to circulate in the cooling system.

[0030] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. In this utility model, the heat dissipation process of the coolant is accelerated by the vent holes opened on the outside of the protective shell. The coolant is connected to the heat dissipation fins through the circulation pipe, and the coolant flows to the heat dissipation fins through the circulation pipe. The rotation of the fan drives the air to flow around the heat dissipation fins at an accelerated speed, which enhances the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fins and further improves the heat dissipation capacity of the entire cooling mechanism. This achieves the effect of quickly dissipating the heat in the coolant, improves the heat dissipation efficiency, and ensures the cooling effect on the damper.

[0032] 2. In this utility model, with the cooperation of the external support seat of the fixed seat and the connecting rod, the connecting rod can reliably move along with the fixed seat when it moves. With the cooperation of the connecting rod and the baffle tube, the baffle tube can be horizontally opposite to the area of ​​the damper that generates heat under the drive of the connecting rod, so as to solve the problem of how to specifically improve the heat dissipation effect of the local high temperature area inside the damper.

[0040] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a self-cooling viscous damper, comprising a damping shell 1. The damping shell 1 serves as the main outer shell of the entire damper, providing containment and protection. It is also a crucial structural element connecting the support end 2 and the sliding end 7, ensuring the integrity of the overall damper structure. The support end 2 is fixedly connected to one outer end of the damping shell 1. The support end 2 securely mounts the damper onto a support structure, providing a reliable support foundation for the entire damper and ensuring that it does not shift or shake during operation, thus guaranteeing its operational stability. The other end of the damping shell 1... The sliding end 7 is fixedly connected to the end of the damper, and the sliding end 7 provides a sliding track for the slide rod 3. The slide rod 3 is slidably connected inside the sliding end 7. The slide rod 3 transmits the displacement changes applied to the damper by the external structure, causing the damper to generate a corresponding damping effect. The other end of the slide rod 3 is fixedly connected to the connecting end 4. The connecting end 4 is used to connect with the external structure that needs to be damped and is the key component to establish a connection between the external structure and the damper, realizing the function of transmitting the motion of the external structure to the damper. The connecting end 4 is provided with a partitioning mechanism 6, and the damping shell 1 is provided with a cooling mechanism 5.

[0042] The cooling mechanism 5 includes a protective shell 51, which provides protection, support, and fixation. The interior of the protective shell 51 is fixedly connected to the exterior of the damping shell 1. Multiple vents 52 are provided on the exterior of the protective shell 51 to promote airflow. When the internal temperature of the protective shell 51 rises, hot air is discharged through the vents 52, while relatively cooler outside air enters through the vents 52, creating air convection and accelerating heat dissipation. A circulation pipe 53 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective shell 51. The circulation pipe 53 is filled with coolant and serves as a circulation channel for the coolant. The flow of coolant within the circulation pipe 53 absorbs the heat transferred from the damping shell 1. To achieve cooling of the damper, a heat dissipation fin 54 is fixedly connected to one end of the circulation pipe 53. The function of the heat dissipation fin 54 is to increase the heat dissipation area and improve the heat dissipation efficiency. When the coolant that has absorbed heat flows from the circulation pipe 53 into the heat dissipation fin 54, the heat dissipation fin 54 quickly dissipates the heat in the coolant into the surrounding air. A delivery pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the output end of the heat dissipation fin 54. The function of the delivery pipe 55 is to deliver the coolant after it has been cooled by the heat dissipation fin 54 to the pressurization pipe 56, ensuring that the circulation path of the coolant in the cooling mechanism 5 is complete. The other end of the delivery pipe 55 is fixedly connected to the pressurization pipe 56. The function of the pressurization pipe 56 is to pressurize the coolant under the action of the circulation component 58, so that the coolant can... The coolant can circulate smoothly within pipes such as circulation pipe 53 and delivery pipe 55, providing power for the circulation of coolant. A circulation assembly 58, including a circulation pump 582, is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressurization pipe 56. The circulation pump 582 provides power for the circulation of coolant within pipes such as circulation pipe 53 and delivery pipe 55, ensuring continuous cooling. The output end of the circulation pump 582 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressurization pipe 56. A fixing shell 581 is fixedly connected to the outside of the circulation pump 582. The fixing shell 581 is used to fix the circulation pump 582 and to fix the entire circulation assembly 58 to the outside of the protective shell 51. The outside of the fixing shell 581 is fixedly connected to the outside of the protective shell 51. The external support of the tube 56 is inside the fixed shell 581. The external protective shell 51 is fixedly connected to the heat dissipation assembly 57. The heat dissipation assembly 57 includes an air vent shell 571, which provides mounting support for the fan 572 and guides the airflow path. The external air vent shell 571 is fixedly connected to the external protective shell 51. Multiple fans 572 are fixedly connected to the external air vent shell 571. The fans 572 accelerate the airflow speed around the heat dissipation fins 54, enhance the heat dissipation effect of the heat dissipation fins 54, and further improve the overall heat dissipation capacity of the cooling mechanism 5. The internal support of the air vent shell 571 is on the external heat dissipation fins 54, and the adjacent sides of the multiple fans 572 are supported on the external heat dissipation fins 54.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 The partitioning mechanism 6 includes a fixed base 61, which connects and supports the partitioning mechanism 6, firmly connecting it to the connecting end 4, allowing the partitioning mechanism 6 to move with the connecting end 4. The fixed base 61 is internally fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting end 4. Multiple support seats 62 are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed base 61. The support seats 62 provide support and fixing points for the connecting rod 63, ensuring the stability of the connecting rod 63 during operation and enabling it to accurately transmit force and movement. Connecting rods 63 are fixedly connected inside each of the multiple support seats 62. The connecting rods 63 transmit force and movement. A baffle 64 is fixedly connected to the other end of each connecting rod 63. The baffle 64 provides protection and isolation for the cooling mechanism 5 during the operation of the partitioning mechanism 6, preventing external debris or other factors from affecting the cooling system. Mechanism 5 causes interference or damage. At the same time, during the movement, the relative position of the baffle tube 64 and the heat generated inside the damper changes in the same area, which can block the airflow inside the cooling mechanism 5 from passing through, and enhance the heat dissipation effect of the airflow velocity inside the cooling mechanism 5 on this part of the area. The sliding end 7 is fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed ring 65. The fixed ring 65 is used to connect and support the slide rail plate 66, ensuring that multiple slide rail plates 66 can be stably installed around the sliding end 7. Multiple slide rail plates 66 are fixedly connected to the outside of the fixed ring 65. The function of the slide rail plate 66 is to provide a precise sliding track for the connecting rod 63, restrict the movement direction of the connecting rod 63, and make the connecting rod 63 slide only along the preset track inside the slide rail plate 66. The outside of multiple connecting rods 63 are slidably connected to the inside of multiple slide rail plates 66 respectively, and the inside of the baffle tube 64 is slidably connected to the outside of the cooling mechanism 5.

[0044] Working principle: As the damper operates, it generates heat, which is transferred to the damping housing 1. The coolant in the circulation pipe 53 absorbs the heat from the damping housing 1. The coolant then begins to circulate under the action of the circulation pump 582, which is fixed inside the fixed housing 581. After absorbing heat, the coolant flows through the circulation pipe 53 to the heat dissipation fins 54. The heat dissipation fins 54 increase the heat dissipation area, which helps to quickly dissipate the heat in the coolant. The vents 52 on the outside of the protective housing 51 promote air convection and accelerate heat dissipation. The fan 572 in the heat dissipation assembly 57 is installed outside the air vent housing 571. The fan 572 accelerates the airflow around the heat dissipation fins 54, enhancing the heat dissipation effect. The cooled coolant flows through the delivery pipe 55 to the pressurization pipe 56. The pressurization pipe 56 pressurizes the coolant under the action of the circulation pump 582, allowing it to continue circulating in the circulation pipe 53 and other pipes.

[0045] The movement of the connecting end 4 drives the fixed seat 61 to move. The supporting seat 62 outside the fixed seat 61 fixes the connecting rod 63. When the fixed seat 61 moves, the connecting rod 63 moves accordingly. The outside of the connecting rod 63 slides inside the slide rail plate 66. The slide rail plate 66 is fixed outside the fixed ring 65, and the fixed ring 65 is fixed outside the sliding end 7. The movement of the connecting rod 63 drives the baffle tube 64 to slide outside the cooling mechanism 5. When the relative position of the baffle tube 64 and the heat-generating area inside the damper changes to the same area, it blocks the airflow inside the cooling mechanism 5, strengthens the airflow velocity in that area, and thus enhances the heat dissipation effect in that area.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
