This invention provides a vibration damper and a vibration damping connection structure, solving the problem that the low-frequency and high overload characteristics of a vibration damper cannot be simultaneously achieved. The vibration damper includes an inner core, a metal gasket, a gasket colloid, a base colloid, and a metal base for connecting to the load.

[0011] Preferably, the base colloid further includes a ring body, which is fixedly connected to the metal base. The ring body is located outside the conical portion, and the conical portion protrudes from the upper end of the ring body.

[0012] Initially, there is a longitudinal gap between the gasket and the ring; under high vertical overload conditions, the gasket and the ring come into contact under pressure.

[0013] Preferably, the ring body and the conical part are integrally vulcanized structures.

[0014] Preferably, the outer diameter of the conical portion gradually increases in the direction away from the metal gasket.

[0015] Preferably, the gasket colloid is provided with a clearance groove, which is opened on the side of the gasket colloid facing the base colloid.

[0016] Preferably, the shock absorber further includes a buffer ring, which is sleeved outside the inner core;

[0018] In the initial state, there is a horizontal gap between the buffer ring and the inner ring; under radial high overload conditions, the buffer ring and the inner ring come into contact with each other by compression.

[0019] Preferably, the axial cross-section of the buffer ring is trapezoidal, and the outer diameter of the buffer ring gradually decreases as it approaches the position corresponding to the inner ring portion.

[0038] This utility model provides a vibration damper and a vibration damping connection structure, which can achieve low-frequency and high overload performance in the axial direction of the vibration damper.

[0039] The following is combined Figures 1-6 The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.

[0040] Example 1:

[0041] The vibration damper 100 provided by this utility model includes an inner core 1, a metal pad 2, a pad colloid 3, a base colloid 4, and a metal base 5 for connecting with a load 8. The metal base 5 is sleeved outside the inner core 1, and the base colloid 4 is fixed between the inner core 1 and the metal base 5. The base colloid 4 includes a conical portion 41, which protrudes from the upper end of the metal base 5. The metal pad 2 is in rigid contact with the upper end of the inner core 1 and is detachably fixed, and the metal pad 2 abuts against the narrow end of the conical portion 41. In the initial state, there is a gap between the pad colloid 3 and the base colloid 4. Under vertical high overload conditions, the pad colloid 3 and the base colloid 4 come into contact.

[0042] In this embodiment, the metal base 5, inner core 1, and base adhesive 4 are integrally formed by adhesive vulcanization; the metal gasket 2 and gasket adhesive 3 are integrally formed by adhesive vulcanization; the metal base 5 adopts a hexagonal structure, compatible with the corresponding model of standard open-end wrench. See also Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the metal base 5 is provided with an external thread, which is adapted to the internal thread hole 91 of the load 8 (vibration equipment) connecting lug 9, saving installation space and ensuring the reliability of the connection.

[0043] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the base colloid 4 also includes a ring 42, which is integrally vulcanized with the conical part 41. The ring 42 is fixedly connected to the metal base 5. The ring 42 is located outside the conical part 41, and the conical part 41 protrudes from the upper end of the ring 42. In the initial state, there is a longitudinal gap between the gasket colloid 3 and the ring 42. Under vertical high overload conditions, the gasket colloid 3 and the ring 42 are pressed into contact.

[0044] In this embodiment, see Figure 3 As shown, in the initial state or under the initial vertical vibration conditions, there is a longitudinal gap between the gasket 3 and the ring 42, and the two do not contact each other. As the metal gasket 2 continuously squeezes the cone-shaped part 41, the cone-shaped part 41 slowly deforms until, under the condition of high vertical overload, the gasket 3 and the ring 42 are squeezed into contact.

[0045] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the outer diameter of the conical portion 41 gradually increases in the direction away from the metal gasket 2.

[0046] Compared to the columnar structure, the structure of the conical portion 41, as the stress gradually increases, causes the metal gasket 2 to compress the conical portion 41, and the strain (deformation) along the axial direction of the conical portion 41 gradually changes.

[0047] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the gasket 3 is provided with a clearance slot 31, which is located on the side of the gasket 3 facing the base 4.

[0048] The stepped hole structure is formed between the clearance slot 31 and the lower surface of the gasket 3, which can make way for the cone-shaped part 41 of the base 4, so that the gasket 3 and the ring 42 can be squeezed and contacted under vertical high overload conditions.

[0049] In the above-described structure of this embodiment, the metal surface of the metal gasket 2 is in rigid contact with the upper metal surface of the inner core 1, and the inner holes are aligned; a dynamic displacement space is left between the gasket colloid 3 and the base colloid 4. Under vertical vibration conditions, the gasket colloid 3 does not contact the base colloid 4. By rationally designing the shape coefficient of the base colloid 4, a larger static compression deformation is designed within the allowable space, and a lower dynamic stiffness is achieved near the static operating point, thereby significantly reducing the natural frequency and realizing the low-frequency performance of the vibration damper 100 in the vertical direction. Under high overload conditions in the vertical direction, the gasket colloid 3 contacts the ring 42 of the base colloid 4, and the effective shape coefficients of the gasket colloid 3 and the base colloid 4 increase sharply, quickly entering the nonlinear region. The stiffness of the colloid increases nonlinearly, restricting the vertical displacement of the vibration damper 100 and performing buffering and limiting, thus realizing the low-frequency and high overload performance of the vibration damper 100 in the axial direction. To meet different axial low-frequency and high overload conditions, the cross-sectional shape and hardness of the gasket colloid 3 and the base colloid 4 can be adaptively adjusted.

[0050] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the shaft cavity of the metal gasket 2 and the shaft cavity of the inner core 1 are arranged coaxially, and the locking member 7 can pass through the shaft cavity of the metal gasket 2 and the shaft cavity of the inner core 1 and detachably fix them together.

[0051] Locking element 7 can be a bolt or screw structure, see [link / reference] Figure 3 As shown, the locking member 7 passes through the shaft cavity of the metal washer 2 and the shaft cavity of the inner core 1. Specifically, the metal base 5 of the damper 100 is threadedly connected to the connecting lug 9 of the load 8. The locking member 7 passes through the two dampers 100 to achieve a fixed connection between the damper 100 and the load 8.

[0052] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the metal gasket 2 includes an integrally formed gasket body 21 and a positioning post 22, wherein: the positioning post 22 is located in the middle of the gasket body 21, the outer diameter of the gasket body 21 is larger than the positioning post 22, the gasket colloid 3 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 22, the positioning post 22 is detachably fixedly connected to the inner core 1, and the positioning post 22 abuts against the narrow end of the conical part 41.

[0053] The structure of the metal gasket 2 facilitates the fixing of the gasket colloid 3. The gasket colloid 3 is sleeved outside the positioning post 22. In the initial state, there is a gap between the gasket colloid 3 and the base colloid 4, and the positioning post 22 abuts against the narrow end of the conical part 41. Under vertical high overload conditions, the metal gasket 2 and the conical part 41 are continuously squeezed until the gasket colloid 3 contacts the base colloid 4 (ring 42). The effective shape factor of the gasket colloid 3 and the base colloid 4 increases sharply, quickly entering the nonlinear region. The stiffness of the colloid increases nonlinearly, restricting the vertical displacement of the vibration damper 100 and performing buffering and limiting, thus realizing the low-frequency and high overload performance of the vibration damper 100 in the axial direction.

[0054] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the damper 100 of this embodiment also includes a buffer ring 6, which is sleeved on the outside of the inner core 1; the base colloid 4 also includes an inner ring portion 43, which is fixed on the inner wall of the metal base 5; in the initial state, there is a horizontal gap between the buffer ring 6 and the inner ring portion 43; under radial high overload conditions, the buffer ring 6 and the inner ring portion 43 are in compression contact.

[0055] The buffer ring 6 is also made of colloid and is vulcanized separately.

[0056] The buffer ring 6 is located inside the cavity of the base colloid 4, and is fitted and fixed on the outer wall of the inner core 1, leaving a dynamic displacement space with the inner wall of the inner ring 43. Under radial vibration conditions, the buffer ring 6 does not contact the inner wall of the base colloid 4 (inner ring). By rationally designing the shape factor of the base colloid 4, a larger static compression deformation is designed within the allowable space, achieving lower dynamic stiffness near the static operating point, thereby significantly reducing the natural frequency and realizing the low-frequency performance of the vibration damper 100 in the radial direction. Under high radial overload conditions, the buffer ring 6 contacts the inner wall of the base colloid 4, and the effective shape factor of the buffer ring 6 and the base colloid 4 increases sharply, quickly entering the nonlinear region. The stiffness of the colloid increases nonlinearly, restricting the radial displacement of the vibration damper 100 and providing buffering and limiting, thus realizing the low-frequency and high overload performance of the vibration damper 100 in the radial direction. To meet different radial low-frequency and high overload conditions, the cross-sectional shape and colloid hardness of the base colloid 4 and the buffer ring 6 can be adaptively adjusted.

[0057] As an optional implementation, see Figure 3 As shown, the axial cross section of the buffer ring 6 is trapezoidal, and the outer diameter of the buffer ring 6 gradually decreases along the position close to the corresponding inner ring 43.

[0058] The above-described structure of the buffer ring 6 enables the following: as the stress gradually increases, the radial strain (deformation) of the buffer ring 6 gradually changes when the buffer ring 6 and the base colloid 4 are squeezed together.

[0059] Example 2:

[0061] See Figure 6 As shown, the lower shock absorber is fixedly connected to the support base 200, and the two shock absorbers 100 are arranged vertically and are both threadedly connected to the internal threaded hole 91 of the connecting ear 9.

[0062] Specifically, the installation of the shock absorber 100 and the load 8 is as follows: with the base colloids 4 of the two installed buffer rings 6 facing outward, use an open-end wrench to hold the metal base 5, and screw it onto both sides of the load 8 connecting ear 9 according to the specified torque through the external thread 51 on the metal base 5 and the internal thread hole 91 of the load 8 connecting ear 9.

[0063] Installation of the shock absorber 100 and the support 200: Place the two metal shims 2 with the shim 3 facing the support 200 on both sides of the load 8 connecting lug 9. Align the shaft cavity of the metal shims 2 with the inner hole of the support 200. Pass the specified length of fastening screw (locking member 7) through the shaft cavity and connect the shock absorber and the load 8 to the support 200 through the fastening screw.
