The invention discloses a quasi-zero-stiffness vibration
isolator with a horizontal
damper. Two sets of
cam-roller-spring mechanisms are horizontally and symmetrically arranged to serve as a negativestiffness structure, the horizontal
damper is additionally arranged, and then the
negative stiffness structure, the horizontal
damper and a vertical positive stiffness spring structure are connected in parallel to form a quasi-zero-stiffness
vibration isolation mechanism jointly. The matched stiffness coefficients of vertical springs and horizontal springs are selected, the height of cams and thepre-compression amount of the horizontal springs are adjusted according to the
mass of an object subjected to
vibration isolation and the stiffness of the vertical springs, the centers of the
cam androllers are made horizontally flush, and the
system has the quasi-zero-stiffness feature at the balanced position. On the basis of the certain vertical damping, the horizontal damping of the
system isreasonably designed, and the
resonance phenomenon of the
system can be restrained or even eliminated. The vibration
isolator has the high-static and low-movable stiffness feature, can achieve low-frequency
vibration isolation, is simple in structure and convenient to maintain, and can be widely applied to low-frequency vibration management projects.
