The invention relates to a semi-active variable-rigidity variable-damping mixed
damper. The semi-active variable-rigidity variable-damping mixed
damper mainly comprises U-shaped hydraulic cylinders, a transmission device, a
magneto-rheological
damper and the like. A proper amount of liquid is injected into the U-shaped hydraulic cylinders, pistons are placed on the U-shaped hydraulic cylinders and composed of upper
piston bodies and lower
piston bodies, springs are clamped between the upper
piston bodies and the lower piston bodies, and the pistons are connected with the
magneto-rheological damper through the transmission device. The
magneto-rheological damper can generate damping force of different magnitudes by changing the magnitude of applied current, and therefore a horizontal sliding rod is controlled to move. When the magneto-rheological damper does not generate the damping force, the pistons at the two ends in the U-shaped hydraulic cylinders can freely move, and
earthquake energy is consumed completely through free vibration of the liquid in the cylinders. When the magneto-rheological damper generated the damping force, due to the incompressibility of the liquid, the springs begin to be compressed, and rigidity is provided for a controlled
system accordingly, In addition, the
earthquake energy is dissipated through the damping force generated by the magneto-rheological damper in a friction
energy consumption mode, and therefore the dual effects of adjusting the rigidity and damping of the controlled
system in a semi-
active mode are achieved.
