Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of viscous damper technology, and in particular to a protective viscous damper. Background Technology

[0002] Viscous dampers are passive energy dissipation and vibration reduction devices widely used in civil engineering structures. Their core function is to reduce the vibration response of the structure under dynamic loads such as earthquakes and strong winds by converting the kinetic energy of structural vibrations into heat energy and dissipating it, thereby protecting the structural safety and internal facilities.

[0003] In some existing viscous dampers, the reciprocating piston rod outside the cylinder is completely exposed to the environment. Dust, gravel, cement powder, and other contaminants easily adhere to the piston rod surface. When the piston rod retracts into the cylinder, these contaminants are directly carried into the sealing area and inside the cylinder. Although some viscous dampers have dust covers on the outside of the piston rod, most do not consider the small gas volume changes inside the cylinder caused by piston movement. When the dust cover extends or retracts, the internal air will generate a certain aerodynamic resistance due to compression or expansion. Utility Model Content

A vent hole is opened on one side of the outer wall of the extension ring 23, and a miniature breathing valve body 6 is provided at the vent hole. Limiting rings 24 are installed at one end of the extension ring 23 and the other end of the telescopic dust cover 21. Mounting rings 22 are symmetrically mounted and slidably sleeved on both sides of the outer wall of the telescopic dust cover 21, and the two mounting rings 22 are threadedly connected to the corresponding positioning ring seats 5.

[0026] Furthermore, a movable hole is provided inside the mounting ring 22 on one side of the mounting groove, and the inner diameter of the movable hole is larger than the outer diameter of the extension ring 23.

[0027] Furthermore, a fixing ring seat 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the adjacent surface of the positioning ring 3 and the cylinder 11, and located outside the positioning ring seat 5. A magnetic ring 41 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing ring seat 4.

[0030] It is worth noting that the specific structure, connection method, and working principle of the viscous damper body 1, cylinder 11, and piston rod 12 are all existing technologies that are already publicly available on the market, so they will not be elaborated further.
