Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of damper technology, specifically an adaptive viscous damper. Background Technology

[0002] Viscous dampers rely on the viscous resistance of the viscous damping medium to dissipate vibration energy and are widely used in vibration reduction and protection in fields such as construction, bridges, and machinery. Most existing viscous dampers are designed with a fixed damping coefficient, which cannot adaptively adjust the damping performance according to the magnitude of the external excitation: when the external excitation is small, the fixed damping coefficient is insufficient to fully exert the vibration reduction effect, resulting in a large vibration amplitude; when the external excitation is large, excessive damping force can easily generate additional stress on the structure, causing secondary damage.

[0003] Existing adjustable dampers often have complex structures, relying on multiple sets of transmission components for adjustment. This not only makes assembly difficult and costly but also results in adjustment lag, making it difficult to quickly adapt to dynamically changing vibration conditions. Furthermore, the sealing structure design of traditional dampers is often flawed, leading to leakage of the damping medium during long-term reciprocating motion. This causes damping performance degradation, affecting vibration reduction and service life. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0018] Example 1: As Figures 1-6 ,include: The cylinder 100 has an internal interlayer cavity, and the interlayer cavity and the bottom end of the cylinder 100 are symmetrically provided with through holes 110. The top outer wall of the cylinder 100 is sealed with an end cap 140. The piston assembly includes a piston 200 that is slidably connected to the inner wall of the cylinder 100. The inner wall of the piston 200 has a T-shaped hole 210 that is distributed around the piston 200 in a circumferential manner. An adaptive throttling assembly is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the T-shaped hole 210. The adaptive throttling assembly includes a threaded sleeve 220. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 220 is connected to a plug sleeve 222 by a spring 224.

[0019] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: The interlayer cavity inside the cylinder 100 and the through hole 110 at the bottom form a damping medium flow channel. The end cap 140 seals the top of the cylinder 100, ensuring the airtightness of the damping cavity. During use, external vibration drives the piston 200 to slide on the inner wall of the cylinder 100. During the movement of the piston 200, the viscous damping medium enters the interlayer cavity through the through hole 110 under pressure, and then flows through the T-shaped hole 210 on the piston 200. When the pressure of the viscous damping medium is small, the spring 224 is in a natural extension and contraction state, the position of the plug sleeve 222 is stable, the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the viscous damping medium in the T-shaped hole 210 is large, and the damping coefficient is small. When the external vibration increases and the pressure of the viscous damping medium increases, the viscous damping medium pushes the plug sleeve 222 to compress the spring 224. The plug sleeve 222 slides relative to the threaded sleeve 220, reducing the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the viscous damping medium in the T-shaped hole 210, increasing the damping coefficient, and realizing the adaptive adjustment of the damping performance.

[0020] Example 2: Figures 1-4 Eight sets of T-shaped holes 210 are provided, and the eight sets of T-shaped holes 210 are staggered vertically. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve 220 is provided with an annular groove 221. The bottom inner wall of the threaded sleeve 220 is threadedly connected to the end nut 225. The bottom inner wall of the end nut 225 is provided with a hexagonal hole 226. The inner wall of the hexagonal hole 226 is provided with a drain hole, which penetrates the inner wall of the end nut 225. The top of the plug sleeve 222 and the bottom of the annular groove 221 are elastically abutted by a spring 224. The inner walls on both sides of the plug sleeve 222 are provided with through grooves 223. The threaded sleeve 220 is inserted and installed inside the T-shaped hole 210. The top inner wall of the T-shaped hole 210 is threadedly connected to the positioning nut 227. The middle part of the positioning nut 227 is hollow, which is adapted to the staggered vertical setting of the throttling component. It is used for bidirectional flow of viscous damping medium. The viscous damping medium is pressurized and enters the interlayer cavity through the through hole 110 to control the piston 200 to move up and down.

[0021] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: Eight sets of staggered T-shaped holes 210, together with an adaptive throttling component, enable bidirectional smooth flow of viscous damping medium. The threaded sleeve 220 is fixed in the T-shaped hole 210 by the positioning nut 227 to ensure installation stability. The end nut 225 is easily disassembled and assembled through the hexagonal hole 226, facilitating the assembly and maintenance of the spring 224 and the plug sleeve 222. When the viscous damping medium flows, it first enters the threaded sleeve 220 through the drain hole of the end nut 225, and then flows out through the through grooves 223 on both sides of the plug sleeve 222. When the pressure of the viscous damping medium changes, the plug sleeve 222 slides along the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 220, compressing or stretching the spring 224. The overlapping area of ​​the through groove 223 and the annular groove 221 changes accordingly, thereby adjusting the flow cross-sectional area of ​​the viscous damping medium. The staggered structural design enables stable damping adjustment when the piston 200 moves up and down, ensuring consistent bidirectional damping effect.

[0022] Example 3: Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , Figure 6 A sealing groove 130 is provided on the top outer wall of the cylinder 100. The bottom inner wall of the end cap 140 is threaded to the inner wall of the cylinder 100. A sealing ring 143 is fixedly installed on the bottom outer wall of the end cap 140. The sealing ring 143 and the sealing groove 130 are sealed together. A telescopic slide rod 230 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the piston 200. A slide rod hole 141 is provided on the inner wall of the end cap 140. A U-shaped sealing ring 142 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slide rod hole 141. The outer wall of the telescopic slide rod 230 is slidably sealed to the inner wall of the U-shaped sealing ring 142. A limiting plate 240 is fixedly installed on the top of the telescopic slide rod 230. A buffer spring 250 is sleeved on the outer wall of the telescopic slide rod 230. The buffer spring 250 is located between the limiting plate 240 and the end cap 140. A first docking ring 260 is fixedly connected to the top outer wall of the limiting plate 240. A second docking ring 120 is fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the cylinder 100.

[0023] The specific application scenario of this embodiment is as follows: the end cap 140 is threadedly connected to the cylinder 100, and the sealing ring 143 is embedded in the sealing groove 130 to achieve a reliable seal on the top of the cylinder 100 and prevent leakage of viscous damping medium; the telescopic slide rod 230 is engaged with the slide rod hole 141 of the end cap 140, and the U-shaped sealing ring 142 ensures the sealing performance during the sliding process of the two; external vibration is transmitted to the device through the first docking ring 260 or the second docking ring 120, driving the telescopic slide rod 230 and the piston 200 to reciprocate; the buffer spring 250 is located between the limiting plate 240 and the end cap 140, which can help buffer the vibration impact force, while limiting the maximum stroke of the telescopic slide rod 230 to avoid excessive stretching or compression; the limiting plate 240 prevents the buffer spring 250 from falling off, ensuring the stable performance of the elastic buffering effect.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When used by those skilled in the art, the device is connected to the external structure through the first docking ring 260 and the second docking ring 120 to realize the transmission of vibration load. The cylinder 100 and the end cap 140 form a sealed space through the sealing ring 143 and the sealing groove 130, which is filled with viscous damping agent. The piston 200 slides with the inner wall of the cylinder 100, and the telescopic slide rod 230 drives the piston 200 to reciprocate with the external vibration. During the movement, the viscous damping agent enters the interlayer cavity through the through hole 110, and then achieves bidirectional flow through the T-shaped hole 210 on the piston 200. The plug sleeve 222 of the adaptive throttling component slides automatically under the action of the damping agent pressure and the elastic force of the spring 224, adjusting the damping agent flow cross-sectional area, thereby changing the damping coefficient: when the external excitation is large, the damping coefficient increases, quickly suppressing vibration; when the external excitation is small, the damping coefficient decreases, fully absorbing vibration energy. At the same time, the buffer spring 250 assists in buffering vibration, and the U-shaped sealing ring 142 and the sealing ring 143 ensure sealing performance and ensure long-term stable operation of the device.

[0025] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
