Solution Overview

Problem

Existing resonance suppression control devices require complex configurations and may fail to adequately suppress vibrations when the transfer function of a device changes, leading to insufficient vibration control.

Innovation Solution

A resonance suppression control device with multiple feedback loops, each comprising a band-pass filter, phase compensator, and amplitude adjuster, which function as differentiators, allowing for simple mounting and effective vibration suppression across various vibration modes, with adjustable parameters to adapt to changing resonance frequencies.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If a complex feedback loop with filter and differentiator is used, then vibration suppression performance is improved, but device complexity increases and mounting becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration suppression performanceVSAvoidcontrol device complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines the filter and differentiator functions into an integrated control structure where the feedback loop directly processes vibration signals through combined filtering and differentiation operations. This merging reduces the number of separate components needed while maintaining the vibration suppression performance that would otherwise require complex separate filter and differentiator stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Ease of manufacture

If a fixed transfer function is used in the feedback loop, then the control device is simple to mount, but vibration suppression becomes insufficient when resonance frequency changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemounting easeVSAvoidadaptability to resonance frequency changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements dynamic adjustment of the feedback loop parameters based on detected resonance frequencies. The control device continuously monitors the resonance frequency of the control target and adjusts the feedback gain and filter characteristics accordingly. This dynamic adaptation allows the system to maintain effective vibration suppression across varying operating conditions without requiring complex manual reconfiguration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a feedback mechanism where the output of the vibration suppression control is monitored and used to adjust the control parameters in real-time. The feedback loop detects changes in resonance frequency and automatically adjusts the filter cutoff frequencies and differentiator parameters to maintain optimal vibration suppression performance, enabling the system to adapt to changing conditions while keeping the mounting process relatively simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple separate control devices are used for each vibration mode, then vibration suppression in each mode is improved, but device complexity and mounting difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevibration suppression effectivenessVSAvoidmounting ease
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal feedback control device that can handle multiple vibration modes simultaneously through a single integrated system. The control device uses a multi-mode filter that can extract and process signals from different vibration modes, and a differentiator that operates on the combined signal to suppress vibrations across all modes. This multi-functional approach eliminates the need for separate control devices for each vibration mode while maintaining effective suppression performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the vibration suppression function into distinct processing stages within a unified control architecture. The feedback loop is divided into signal extraction (filtering), vibration mode identification, differentiation, and suppression control stages. This segmentation allows each stage to handle multiple vibration modes independently while working together in a coordinated manner, achieving comprehensive vibration suppression without requiring multiple separate control devices.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
