Spiral spring damper with early rigidity capable of being adjusted

Abstract

The invention discloses a spiral spring damper with early rigidity capable of being adjusted. The spiral spring damper is characterized in that a back pressure is arranged between two end plates of the damper, the back pressure device comprises two sets of prepressing steel cables with the number being three or more in each set and two floating pressing plates, wherein each floating pressing plate is arranged on a guide rod between one end plate and a cylindrical spiral compressed spring in a sleeving mode, the two sets of prepressing steel cables are symmetrically distributed on the periphery of the cylindrical spiral compressed spring in a linear state about the axes of the guide rods correspondingly, one ends of each set of prepressing steel cables are fixed to one floating pressing plate, the other ends of each set of prepressing steel cables penetrate through the other floating pressing plate to be anchored to the corresponding end plate adjacent to the floating pressing plate through a steel cable self-locking tensioning anchor gear, the two sets of prepressing steel cables are tensioned, and the cylindrical spiral compressed spring is always clamped between the two floating pressing plates.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to shock absorbing devices, and more particularly to dampers employing helical compression springs. Background technique [0002] A damper is a shock-absorbing device that consumes motion energy by providing motion resistance. The use of dampers for energy dissipation and shock absorption is a traditional technology widely used in industries such as aerospace, aviation, military industry, guns, and automobiles. Since the 1970s, people have gradually applied the technology of using dampers to consume energy and reduce shocks to structural engineering such as buildings, bridges, and railways. The coil spring damper is widely used in the anti-seismic structures of various buildings because of its high impact resistance, low cost and good shock absorption effect. [0003] People pursue a comprehensive anti-seismic performance combining "resistance" and "loss" for the design of buildings, especially the anti-seismic structure...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, this utility model patent obviously has the following disadvantages: 1. Two coil springs are required, and the length of the entire damper is relatively long, which is not suitable for installation in a space with a small distance; 2. It is difficult or even impossible to ensure the two springs in the process Only the stiffness of the spring (including tensile stiffness and compression stiffness) is equal, so the shock absorption effect is different in different wind directions; 3. The early stiffness of the damper cannot be changed to achieve the preset wind resistance level and reduce the cost of shock absorption; 4. A helical spring works in two states of tension and compression at the same time. The metal material and production process of the existing spring are difficult to meet the requirements. The two working states of tension and compression can only be realized by reducing the elastic deformation range of the helical spring. , which obviously wastes resources

It can be seen that although the stiffness of the spring in the patent application scheme can be changed, the effective working length of the spring is not only significantly shortened, but also can only be compressed for energy consumption and vibration reduction, and cannot be stretched for energy consumption and vibration reduction.

In addition, the stiffness of the spring is changed by changing the effective working length of the spring. The adjustment range is limited by the material and shape of the spring itself.
