Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibration reduction device technology, and in particular to a vibration reduction device for vehicle-bridge coupling with weak lateral stiffness. Background Technology

[0002] Straddle-type monorails and suspended monorails, as medium-capacity urban rail transit systems, possess technical characteristics such as low noise, strong climbing ability (maximum gradient up to 10%), and small turning radius (less than 50 meters). Their unique design, employing rubber tires straddling a single track beam, combines flexible layout capabilities with environmental advantages, adapting to complex terrain and reducing urban ground space occupation. Due to the special characteristics of the straddle-type monorail track beam—its narrow and high beam has low horizontal stiffness—it is highly sensitive to vehicle-bridge coupled vibrations. Furthermore, the narrow beam width prevents the installation of traditional dampers. Therefore, solutions to improve ride comfort focus on increasing the track beam stiffness. (See attached diagram) Figure 1 One current solution is to lay steel longitudinal beams and steel transverse beams in the emergency passage between the double-track beams to improve the rigidity of the track beams, which results in a waste of materials.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model 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 utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] See attached document Figure 2 This embodiment provides a weak lateral stiffness vehicle-bridge coupled vibration damping device, including multiple damping mechanisms 2 disposed between two track beams 1, and multiple steel crossbeams 3 disposed between two adjacent damping mechanisms 2. The two ends of the steel crossbeams 3 are respectively fixed to the track beams 1. (Refer to the attached figure) Figure 3 The vibration damping mechanism 2 includes a bracket 21, a hydraulic damper 22, and a positioning tube 23. The positioning tube 23 is fixed to the track beam 1, and the bracket 21 is slidably connected to the positioning tube 23. The two ends of the hydraulic damper 22, located inside the positioning tube 23, are connected to the bracket 21 and the track beam 1, respectively. A spring 24 is fitted onto the hydraulic damper 22. When the track beam 1 vibrates, it drives the positioning tube 23 to move horizontally along the bracket 21. During this process, the bracket 21, the hydraulic damper 22, and the spring 24 combine to form a TMD damper, transferring the vibration energy of the track beam 1 to the bracket 21, achieving a vibration damping effect and improving vehicle operating comfort. When a large earthquake causes a large displacement of the beam, the vibration damping mechanism 2 acts as a strong connection between the two sides of the track beam 1, preventing beam collapse and ensuring structural safety. This invention incorporates the vibration damping mechanism 2 as part of an emergency passage, achieving vibration damping while meeting emergency passage requirements, thus improving vehicle operating safety and comfort. Compared to traditional emergency passage designs, the laying of steel longitudinal beam 6 is omitted, reducing the amount of materials used.

[0026] As another embodiment of this utility model: a sealing ring 26 is provided inside the positioning tube 23, and the sealing ring 26 is located at the end of the bearing 25 away from the hydraulic damper 22.

[0027] As another embodiment of this utility model: there are multiple sets of bearings 25 between the sealing ring 26 and the hydraulic damper 22.

[0028] One embodiment of fixing the positioning tube 23 to the track beam 1: The track beam 1 has a pre-embedded mounting plate 4, the positioning tube 23 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4, and the hydraulic damper 22 and the spring 24 are both fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4.

[0029] As another embodiment of this utility model: two hydraulic dampers 22 are distributed between one end of the support 21 and the track beam 1, and the two hydraulic dampers 22 at the same end of the support 21 are horizontally distributed.

[0030] As another embodiment of this utility model: refer to the appendix Figure 4 The bracket 21 includes two transverse connecting pipes 211, and at least one longitudinal connecting pipe 212 is fixed between the two transverse connecting pipes 211. The two ends of the transverse connecting pipes 211 are slidably connected to two positioning pipes 23 respectively, and the bearing 25 is disposed between the transverse connecting pipes 211 and the positioning pipes 23. Specifically, in this embodiment, there are two longitudinal connecting pipes 212.

[0031] As another embodiment of this utility model: a walking panel 5 is laid above the steel beam 3 and the bracket 21, and the walking panel 5 serves as part of the emergency passage.

[0032] The steps for setting up the vibration damping mechanism 2 of the track beam 1 in this utility model are as follows:

[0033] Establish a finite element model of track beam 1 (taking a 3x30m straddle-type monorail double-track bridge as an example).

[0034] Modal analysis is performed on the finite element model to obtain its first n (n=1,2,3…) transverse bending modes and natural frequencies. Through modal analysis, the modal mass and modal displacement of each transverse bending mode can be obtained. The nth natural vibration mode vibration reduction module is set at the peak displacement of its modal mode to obtain the best vibration reduction effect.

[0035] Let u be the ratio of module mass to modal mass. n Based on relevant experience in structural dynamics, we take 0.5% ≤ u n ≤2%, the total mass of the vibration damping modules at each natural frequency is m. zn =u n ×m sn Each vibration damping module has a mass of Spring stiffness in the bushing 24 Damping of the bushing damper

[0036] Where, m sn Let f be the modal mass of the nth mode. n Let be the nth order transverse bending natural frequency, j be the number of damping modules in this mode (j is the number of peak displacements of the nth order mode minus the number of overlapping positions between the peak displacements of this mode and the peak displacements of the first to (n-1)th order modes, and the damping modules are set at positions that do not overlap with the peak displacements of the preceding modes), and i be the number of springs 24 (damperes) in the damping modules. Springs 24 and dampers are a one-to-one combination.

[0037] Finally, the method described in this application is merely a preferred embodiment and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and such modifications and variations all fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
