This invention discloses a quasi-zero stiffness vibration
isolator, relating to the field of
vibration isolation technology. A positive stiffness mechanism is disposed between a platform and a base, supporting the platform under external load and applying a
restoring force opposite to and positively correlated with the platform's displacement direction when the platform displaces. A
negative stiffness mechanism includes a mover and several electro-permanent
magnet units, fixedly mounted on the base. One end of the mover is fixedly connected to the platform. The positive stiffness mechanism, the mover, and all the electro-permanent
magnet units are symmetrically arranged about a symmetrical centerline, which is collinear with the direction of the external
load force. The other end of the mover has a gap with each electro-permanent
magnet unit in a direction perpendicular to the symmetrical centerline. The electro-permanent magnet units generate a
magnetic field and apply a magnetic force to the mover in the same direction as the mover's displacement. Through the parallel connection of the positive and
negative stiffness mechanisms, the vibration
isolator achieves quasi-zero stiffness characteristics near its equilibrium position, thereby achieving low-frequency
vibration isolation. This device can improve the reliability of the vibration
isolator and extend its service life.
