The invention discloses a variable-
inertia and variable-damping torsion
damper. The variable-
inertia and variable-damping torsion
damper comprises a variable-
inertia assembly and a variable-damping
assembly; the variable-inertia
assembly comprises a left end disk, a right end cover, an inner iron core, a permanent
magnet, an inner coil and variable-
mass-distribution
ferrofluid; and the inner coil and the permanent
magnet are combined to generate a
magnetic field to change the distribution and the magnitude of a
magnetic field at the position of the
ferrofluid, and the magnitude of rotating inertia of the variable-inertia assembly is continuously adjusted. The variable-inertia and variable-damping torsion
damper can independently serve as a front end torsion damper of an
internal combustion engine and can also serve as a secondary
flywheel of a dual-
mass flywheel to be connected with a
clutch; the
transmission system damping and the rotating inertia can be adjusted in a self-adaptive manner according to requirements of a
control algorithm; and torsion vibration of a
transmission system is effectively inhibited. The variable-inertia and variable-damping torsion damper has the beneficial effects that the structure is compact, output
damping torque is large, the rotating inertia adjustment range is wide, and the dynamic response is fast; and the
fuel oil economy of the
internal combustion engine can be improved easily, and the variable-inertia and variable-damping torsion damper can also be applied in a zero-gravity environment of the
aerospace and thus has wide application prospects in rotating type
mechanical devices.
