Abstract

A dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator includes slide blocks, balance springs, mass blocks, a fixed block, rotation shafts, stiffness-adjustable springs, etc. When an earthquake force is upward, the stiffness-adjustable springs are compressed, upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs are increased, meanwhile, the slide blocks and the mass blocks move away from the fixed block, the balance springs are stretched to generate pull forces, and the pull forces have vertically upward components, so as to reduce compression degrees of the stiffness-adjustable springs, and further to reduce the upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs. Similarly, when the earthquake force is downward, the stiffness-adjustable springs are stretched, downward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs are increased, meanwhile, the slide blocks and the mass blocks move close to the fixed block, the balance springs are compressed to generate compression forces, and the compression forces have vertical downward components.

CROSS REFERENCE TO THE RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is based upon and claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202111512764.5, filed on Dec. 11, 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present disclosure relates to a dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator, which is a vertical vibration isolator for apparatuses, and belongs to the field of structural vibration control.

BACKGROUND

Vibration isolators are used for apparatuses. Nowadays, the research on horizontal vibration isolators is relatively mature at home and abroad, but no sophisticated solutions have been provided for research on vertical vibration isolators yet. The reason is that the vertical vibration isolators are required to play a role in vibration insulation, and meanwhile to balance the dead weight of apparatuses subjected to vibration insulation, which leads to height difficulties in design and machining, and it is difficult to achieve the two functions simultaneously when an earthquake happens.

At present, thick rubber, spring bearings, pneumatic and hydraulic bearings, etc. are the main vibration isolators for vertical vibration isolation of apparatuses. The patent with the application number of 202010380679.7 provides a three-dimensional composite vibration isolator, which is composed of an upper vertical disc spring vibration isolator body and a lower horizontal thick rubber bearing, where an upper bearing body and a lower bearing body are connected and anchored to an external structure by means of bolts to form a whole, so as to provide excellent horizontal vibration isolation and vertical vibration isolation, and further to improve the bearing capacity and stability. Yamin Zhao et al. provide a three-dimensional vibration isolator composed of disc springs. Vibration table test results show that a vibration isolation layer of a structure vertically deforms severely, while layers of an upper structure relatively move slightly, such that a vertical vibration isolation effect is obvious. Fujita develops an intelligent air spring vibration isolation system composed of an air spring bearing and an earthquake early-warning device, and develops an intelligent air bearing vibration isolation system having an earthquake early-warning function. When no earthquake happens, compressed air accumulates in an air storage tank. When an earthquake happens, an earthquake early-warning system and a longitudinal wave sensor detect earthquake waves to determine whether the vibration isolation system is required to be activated, if yes, an electromagnetic valve is opened, a compressor is started to convey compressed air to an air bearing, and at this time, horizontal and vertical vibration isolation of a structure subjected to vibration isolation is realized by means of the air bearing. The patent with the application number of 201410301724.X provides a liquid bag type vibration isolator for vibration isolation of cultural relics and display cabinets, which has horizontal and vertical vibration isolation functions by pouring silicone oil by means of an oil hole.

On the basis of the prior art, the inventors add a gravity balance mechanism into a vertical vibration isolator to form a dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator, which has the following characteristics: (1) under an action of an earthquake, an upward dynamic generated by a device is not changed; (2) a vertical vibration isolation function is provided by means of stiffness-adjustable springs; (3) a pure mechanical structure is provided, such that no dynamic supply is required, and electronic components are not used; and (4) the vibration isolator is small in size and is used for vertical vibration isolation of apparatuses or cultural relics.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

The present disclosure will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and the specific implementations.

FIG. 1 is a plane view of a dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator. FIG. 2 is a top view of an interior of a dynamic balance type vertical vibration isolator.

When an earthquake force is upward, the stiffness-adjustable springs 6 are compressed, upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6 are increased, meanwhile, the slide blocks 1 and the mass blocks 3 move away from the fixed block 4, the balance springs 2 are stretched to generate pull forces, and the pull forces have vertically upward components, so as to reduce compression degrees of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6, and further to reduce the upward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6. Similarly, when the earthquake force is downward, the stiffness-adjustable springs 6 are stretched, downward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6 are increased, meanwhile, the slide blocks 1 and the mass blocks 3 move close to the fixed block 4, the balance springs 2 are compressed to generate compression forces, and the compression forces have vertical downward components, so as to reduce stretch degrees of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6, and further to reduce the downward forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6. Therefore, forces of the stiffness-adjustable springs 6 on vertical rods 8 are constant, so as to realize dynamic balance and vertical vibration isolation.

Computation and adjustment methods for a vibration isolation frequency is as follows: after gravity of an object 11 subjected to vibration isolation is balanced by balance springs 2, assuming that mass of the object 11 subjected to vibration isolation is m, by regarding the object 11 subjected to vibration isolation as a single degree of freedom system, the vibration isolation frequency

$\omega =\sqrt{\frac{K}{m}}$ is computed according to stiffness K of a stiffness-adjustable spring 6. The adjustment method is to select stiffness-adjustable springs 6 having different stiffnesses for adjustment.

A function of mass blocks 3 is to increase a dynamic balance force.
