[0025] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure, and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features, and effects of this utility model.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5A vibration damping device for ultra-large diameter pipelines includes support bases 2, vibration dampers 3, and fixing components 4. Multiple support bases 2 are spaced apart at the bottom of the pipeline 1, forming a stable support structure and enhancing the stability of the entire device. Vibration dampers 3 are installed at both ends of each support base 2, and fixing components 4 are installed at both ends of each vibration damper 3. The fixing components 4 connect the vibration dampers 3 to a steel truss 7, making installation and disassembly of the vibration dampers 3 more convenient and providing more adjustment possibilities for the connection between the vibration dampers 3 and the steel truss 7, thus enhancing the applicability and flexibility of the device. By adopting this structure, the vibration damping device for ultra-large diameter pipelines of this invention absorbs and buffers pipeline vibration from multiple directions. Compared with traditional vibration damping devices, it can more effectively suppress pipeline vibration, reduce the impact of vibration on the surrounding environment and equipment, and ensure the stable operation of ultra-large diameter pipelines.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 5 In this embodiment of the utility model, the support base 2 is configured with two symmetrical triangular structures to ensure good stability. The support base 2 includes an arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21, a horizontal support steel sheet 22, and multiple vertical support steel sheets 23. The arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21 is connected to the outside of the pipe 1. The horizontal support steel sheet 22 is connected to the middle of the arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21, and the multiple vertical support steel sheets 23 are vertically connected between the horizontal support steel sheet 22 and the arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21. The vertical length of the multiple vertical support steel sheets 23 gradually increases from the middle to both ends of the arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21, so that the support base 2 can distribute the pressure more evenly when subjected to force, avoid local stress concentration, and effectively enhance the support effect on the pipe 1. Even when the ultra-large diameter pipe is subjected to large external forces or vibrations, it can remain stable and prevent the pipe from tilting or displacing.

[0028] Specifically, the bending angle of the arc-shaped stainless steel sheet 21 is set to 120°, which works in conjunction with the entire symmetrical triangular structure to better conduct and disperse the vibration energy generated by the pipe 1. The vibration is transmitted to the horizontal and vertical support steel sheets through the arc-shaped stainless steel sheet, and then the vibration energy is dispersed to each support component by means of the mechanical properties of the triangular structure. With the help of the shock absorber, the vibration is absorbed and attenuated more efficiently. Compared with the traditional support structure, it can significantly improve the vibration damping performance and reduce the impact of vibration on the pipe and surrounding equipment.

[0029] Reference Figure 3In an embodiment of this utility model, the shock absorber 3 includes a spring 31, an upper connecting seat 32, and a lower connecting seat 33. The spring 31 is connected between the upper connecting seat 32 and the lower connecting seat 33, and the upper connecting seat 32 and the lower connecting seat 33 are provided with sliding connection holes on their side ends. The upper connecting seat 32 and the lower connecting seat 33 are connected to the sliding connection holes by bolts, so that the upper connecting seat 32 and the lower connecting seat 33 are slidably connected up and down, so that the shock absorber 3 can respond to the vibration of the pipe 1 in the vertical direction and provide a more stable operating environment for the pipe 1.

[0030] Specifically, the damping ratio of a typical metal spring is only between 0.005 and 0.01, while the damping ratio of the spring 31 in this invention is set between 0.05 and 0.15, which is significantly higher than the damping ratio of traditional springs. This greatly improves the ability of the spring 31 to dissipate vibration energy, not only protecting pipelines and equipment from vibration damage, but also reducing safety risks caused by vibration, such as medium leakage caused by loose pipeline flanges or cracked welds.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 In this embodiment of the present invention, the fixing component 4 includes a C-shaped steel 41, a right-angle tube bundle 42, and a U-bolt 43. The C-shaped steel 41 is pressed onto the upper end of the lower connecting seat 33, so that the lower connecting seat 33 is connected to the C-shaped steel 41 and the steel truss 7. The right-angle tube bundle 42 is disposed at the end of the steel truss 7. The U-bolt 43 is tightly clamped onto the C-shaped steel 41 and locks the right-angle tube bundle 42 and the C-shaped steel 41, forming a stable structure with multi-point fastening. This ensures that the shock absorber 3 is tightly connected to the steel truss 7, effectively preventing the pipeline 1 from shifting or loosening during operation, ensuring the stability of the entire shock absorption system, and maintaining firm fixation even when the pipeline is subjected to large external forces or vibrations.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 In this embodiment of the utility model, saddles 5 are provided at both ends of the pipe 1. During the installation of the pipe 1, a connecting component 6 is used to fix the saddles 5 of two adjacent pipes 1. The connecting component 6 includes a screw 61, a nut 62, a spring washer 63, and a flat washer 64. Each end of the saddle 5 is provided with a connecting hole. The screw 61 is inserted into the connecting hole. The spring washer 63 and the flat washer 64 are sleeved on the screw 61, and the spring washer 63 and the flat washer 64 are respectively connected to the outer ends of the two saddles 5. The nut 62 is threaded to the end of the screw 61, effectively preventing the nut 62 from loosening, so that the two pipes 1 are tightly connected into a whole. During the operation of the pipe 1, it can withstand the vibration and external force of the conveying pipe, ensuring the stability of the overall pipe structure and avoiding the impact of loose connection on the overall performance of the shock absorption device.

[0033] Specifically, a tube bundle gasket 8 is provided between the saddle 5 and the pipe 1. The tube bundle gasket 8 is made of highly elastic rubber material with an anti-ozone coating on its surface. While meeting the pipe vibration reduction requirements, it specifically solves the problem of rubber material being easily affected by ozone aging, avoiding the trouble of rubber aging easily releasing particles and polluting the cleanroom environment.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 In the embodiments of this utility model, the surfaces of the saddle 5, support 2, fixing component 4, and connecting component 6 are all provided with a galvanized layer. Applying the galvanizing process to multiple core structures of the shock absorption device, the galvanized layer can form a dense protective film on the surface of the structural components, effectively isolating the structural components from contact with air, moisture, corrosive gases, etc., effectively extending the service life of the shock absorption device. Moreover, the presence of the galvanized layer prevents the precipitation of metal particles, maintains the cleanliness of the factory, meets the strict requirements of a high-cleanliness production environment for equipment, ensures the normal operation of precision equipment, and improves the product yield.

All such equivalent modifications or substitutions are included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
