Drawings
The invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a viscous damper according to the present invention.
In the present application, the drawings are all schematic and are used only for illustrating the principles of the invention and are not drawn to scale.
Detailed Description
The invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 1 shows a viscous damper 100 according to an embodiment of the invention. As shown in fig. 1, the viscous damper 100 includes a damper body 10, and the body 10 is a hollow rectangular housing defining an inner cavity 20 therein, and the inner cavity 20 is filled with a damping medium. A piston rod 21 is disposed in the inner chamber 20. A sleeve 30 is connected to one end (i.e., the right end in fig. 1) of the body 10.
Both a first end (left end in fig. 1) 22 and a second end (right end in fig. 1) 23 of the piston rod 21 extend axially out of the body 10. In particular, as shown in fig. 1, both the first end 22 and the second end 23 of the piston rod 21 are configured in the form of earrings for connection to a vibration source, such as a bridge or the like. The second end 23 of the piston rod 21 protrudes out of the sleeve 30. In this way, the piston rod 21 is axially movable along the body 10 and the sleeve 30 by an external force (i.e. a vibration force from a vibration source).
A piston 25 with a small hole is provided on the rod body of the piston rod 21 inside the body 10, and the piston 25 divides the inner cavity of the body 10 into a left chamber 24 and a right chamber 26. When the piston rod 21 moves in the axial direction, the damping medium flows through the small holes in the piston 24 at a high speed, and thus flows between the left chamber 23 and the right chamber 25, achieving a damping effect.
As shown in fig. 1, an energy generating unit 40 is provided in the sleeve 30. The energy generating unit 40 comprises a drive nut 42 arranged on the second end 23 of the piston rod 21 and a drive screw 44 arranged parallel to the piston rod 21 and engaging the drive nut 42. Preferably, the two ends of the drive screw 44 are fixed to the inner wall of the sleeve 30 by a bearing connection, so that the rotation of the drive screw 44 is facilitated. The drive nut 42 is fixed to the second end 23 of the piston rod 21 and is axially movable with the piston rod 21. The drive screw 44 is engaged with the drive nut 42 and can be rotated by the drive nut 42. In a preferred embodiment, a ball screw arrangement is provided between the drive nut 42 and the drive screw 44.
In addition, the energy generation unit 40 further includes a transmission gear 46 provided at an end (right end in fig. 1) of the transmission screw 44 remote from the body 10. The transmission gear 46 is also engaged with the transmission lead screw 44 and can be driven by the transmission lead screw 44 to rotate. Also, the power generation unit 40 further includes a transmission case 50 disposed below the transmission gear 46, and a generator 55 disposed below the transmission case 50. Similarly, the gearbox 50 is engaged with the transmission gear 46, and the generator 55 is engaged with the gearbox 50. With this arrangement of the power generation unit 40, the axial movement of the piston rod 22 is finally converted into a rotational movement of the generator 55, and power generation is realized.
As shown in fig. 1, a battery 60 connected to the generator 55 is also provided in the sleeve 30. In a preferred embodiment, a rectifier 65 is also connected between the battery 60 and the generator 55. When the generator 55 generates electricity, the generated ac power can be converted into dc power by the rectifier 65 and then stored in the battery 60.
In this embodiment, a monitoring unit 70 is also provided within the sleeve 30. The monitoring unit 70 includes various sensors such as a displacement sensor 28 and a force sensor 29. These sensors may be located at appropriate locations within the sleeve 30 to provide real-time monitoring of the operating conditions of the damper 100 to ensure proper operation of the damper 100. And, the monitoring unit 70 further includes a data wireless transmitting terminal 75. The data wireless transmitting terminal 75 is connected with the sensors, and can output signals transmitted by the sensors in the form of digital signals, so that data acquisition is facilitated.
Finally, a controller 80 is provided within the sleeve 30. The controller 80 is connected to both the energy storage unit 60 and the energy generation unit 40 for regulating the energy of the entire viscous damper 100.
The operation of the viscous damper 100 according to the present invention is briefly described as follows.
When the damper 100 receives a load from a vibration source, the piston rod 21 is moved in the axial direction by an external force. At this time, the driving nut 42 disposed on the piston rod 21 is moved together by the piston rod 21. This movement of the drive nut 42 causes the drive screw 44 to rotate as the drive nut 42 engages the drive screw 44. Similarly, the drive screw 44 is engaged with the drive gear 46 at the right end thereof, the drive gear 46 is engaged with the gear box 50, and the gear box 50 is engaged with the generator 55. Thus, the transmission screw 44 drives the transmission gear 46 to rotate, the transmission gear 46 drives the transmission gear 50 to rotate, and the transmission gear 50 drives the rotor of the generator 55 to rotate, so as to realize the power generation of the generator 55.
Ideally, the generator 55 is connected to the wireless data transmitting terminal 75 and various sensors to provide power to the wireless data transmitting terminal 75 and the sensors. The sensor transmits the operation parameters of the damper 100 to the wireless transmitting terminal 75 in the form of electric signals, and the wireless transmitting terminal 75 converts the electric signals into digital signals to be output, so that the operation data of the damper 100 can be monitored and collected conveniently.
However, in the actual operation process, the external load applied to the damper 100 is unstable, which results in unstable movement speed of the piston rod 21, and thus unstable electric power generated by the generator 55. Therefore, a controller 80 is provided within the sleeve 30, the controller 80 connecting both the generator 55 and the monitoring unit 70. When the amount of power generated by the generator 55 is large, for example, exceeds a predetermined threshold, the controller 80 supplies the power to the wireless transmitting terminal 75 of the monitoring unit 70 and the sensor connected thereto, and simultaneously converts the remaining power into dc power through the rectifier 65 and stores the dc power in the storage battery 60. When the amount of power generated by the generator 55 is small, for example below a predetermined threshold, the controller 80 coordinates discharging the battery 60 to maintain proper operation of the overall viscous damper 100. When the battery 60 is fully charged, the controller 80 controls the generator 55 to idle and discharge the battery 60 in coordination, thereby preventing the battery 60 from being overloaded. It is easily understood that the threshold value can be easily determined by those skilled in the art according to the specific situation of the power consumption of the monitoring unit 70.
The viscous damper 100 provided by the invention can convert mechanical energy of damper motion into electric energy while realizing the function of the traditional viscous damper, thereby realizing self-power supply of the viscous damper. Like this, can avoid viscous damper unstable risk of supplying power under abominable operational environment, simultaneously, after being turned into the electric energy with some load that the attenuator received, can improve viscous damper's bearing scope.
Finally, it should be noted that the above-mentioned embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments described in the foregoing examples, or that equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof. Any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
