  At least the following matters will be apparent from the description and drawings described below.

An upper structure fixed to the vibration control object, a first mass suspended from the upper structure, a lower structure fixed to the vibration control object, and rotating with respect to the lower structure A support member connected in a possible manner, a second mass body supported by the support member at a position higher than the first mass body, and a relative relationship between the first mass body and the second mass body in the vertical direction. A connecting member that restrains relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the first mass body and the second mass body while allowing displacement, and can be mounted on the first mass body, and mounted on the second mass body. A damping system is provided, characterized in that it comprises a possible adjustment mass.
According to such a vibration suppression system, the work of adjusting the period of the vibration suppression system is facilitated.

  It is desirable that an accommodation portion capable of accommodating the adjustment mass body is formed below the second mass body. Thereby, the height of the vibration suppression system can be suppressed.

  The first mass body preferably surrounds the second mass body. Thereby, the movement range of a 2nd mass body can be narrowed.

  It is desirable that the upper structure portion has an arch shape in which an upper portion of the internal space is narrowed. Thereby, the intensity | strength of an upper structure part becomes high.

  It is desirable to provide a damper disposed in the vertical direction between the first mass body and the second mass body. Thereby, a small stroke damper can be used.

  It is preferable that the damper has a large damping coefficient when the vertical relative speed between the first mass body and the second mass body is small, and the damping coefficient becomes small when the relative speed is large. Thereby, when the amplitude of the vibration control object is small, it is possible to suppress the absorption energy of the damper from being extremely reduced.

  It is desirable that the connecting member generates a restoring force with respect to a vertical relative displacement between the first mass body and the second mass body. Thereby, the excessive displacement of a 1st mass body and a 2nd mass body can be suppressed.

The adjustment method of the vibration damping system is characterized in that the period of the vibration damping system is adjusted by transferring the adjustment mass body to and from the second mass body.
According to such an adjustment method of the vibration suppression system, the adjustment work of the period of the vibration suppression system becomes efficient.

=== Reference Example ===
<First Reference Example>
FIG. 11A is a model explanatory diagram of the vibration damping system 1 of the first reference example. The vibration suppression system 1 of the first reference example is a pendulum type vibration suppression system 1 configured of a mass body M suspended from an upper structure portion 11.

  If the length of the suspension member 21 that suspends the mass body M is L, the period T of the mass body M of the first reference example is as follows.

  T = 2π√ (L / g)

  That is, in the case of the vibration damping system 1 of the first reference example, the period T depends only on the length L of the suspension member 21. For this reason, when the natural period of the building to be controlled is long, in the vibration suppression system 1 of the first reference example, it is necessary to increase the length L of the suspension member 21, which increases the size of the vibration suppression system 1. End up.

  In addition, when adjusting the period T of the vibration damping system 1, there is no choice but to adjust the length L of the suspension member 21. However, since the mass body M has a large mass, it takes time and cost to adjust the length L of the suspension member 21 while ensuring safety.

<Second Reference Example>
FIG. 11B is a model explanatory diagram of the vibration damping system 1 of the second reference example. The vibration suppression system 1 of the second reference example has a structure in which a damper 32 is further added to the vibration suppression system 1 of the first reference example.
The damper 32 of the second reference example is arranged so as to generate a damping force with respect to the horizontal displacement of the mass body M. However, since the length L of the suspension member 21 needs to be increased when the natural period of the building that is the vibration suppression object is long, the displacement of the mass body M in the horizontal direction increases as a result. For this reason, the damper 32 of the second reference example needs to follow the mass body M that is largely displaced in the horizontal direction. However, the damper 32 having a large stroke (for example, a stroke of several meters) is expensive.

=== First Embodiment ===
<Basic configuration>
FIG. 1A is a diagram of the vibration damping system 1 according to the first embodiment viewed from above. FIG. 1B is a top view of the upper structure portion 11 omitted in FIG. 1A. 2A to 2C are cross-sectional explanatory views of each part of FIG. 1A. In the following description, the horizontal direction may be described as the XY direction, and the vertical direction may be described as the Z direction.

  The vibration damping system 1 according to the first embodiment includes an upper structure portion 11, a lower structure portion 12, a first mass body M1, a suspension member 21, a second mass body M2, a support arm 22, and a connecting member 31. And a damper 32.

  The upper structure part 11 and the lower structure part 12 are structure parts fixed to a building that is a vibration control object. The lower structure part 12 is, for example, a floor of a building, and the upper structure part 11 is, for example, a steel frame fixed to the floor.

  The first mass body M <b> 1 is a mass body suspended from the upper structure portion 11 by the suspension member 21. The suspension member 21 is a member that suspends the first mass body M1 from the upper structure portion 11. The upper end of the suspension member 21 is rotatably connected to the upper structure portion 11, and the lower end is rotatably connected to the first mass body M <b> 1. The first mass body M1 and the suspension member 21 constitute a pendulum.

The second mass body M2 is a mass body supported by the support arm 22 from the lower structure portion 12. The support arm 22 is a support member that supports the second mass body M2 from the lower structure portion 12. The lower end of the support arm 22 is rotatably connected to the lower structure portion 12, and the upper end of the support arm 22 is rotatably connected to the second mass body M2. The second mass body M2 and the support arm 22 constitute an inverted pendulum. In addition, in order to stabilize the vibration of the 1st mass body M1 and the 2nd mass body M2, the 2nd mass body M2 is comprised so that mass may become smaller than the 1st mass body M1.
The second mass body M2 is provided with a housing portion 41 that houses the adjustment mass body 42. The accommodating part 41 and the adjustment mass body 42 will be described later.

  As shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C, the first mass body M1 is disposed at a position lower than the second mass body M2, and the second mass body M2 is disposed at a position higher than the first mass body M1. Yes. This is to make the length L of the suspension member 21 and the support arm 22 as long as possible while suppressing the height of the vibration damping system 1.

As shown in FIG. 1A, when viewed from above, the first mass body M1 surrounds the second mass body M2. That is, the first mass body M1 is disposed outside the second mass body M2. Thereby, an unstable inverted pendulum can be arranged inside the first mass body M1. In addition, this makes it easy to dispose the connecting member 31 around the second mass body M2, so that the horizontal movement of the second mass body M2 can be easily made the same as that of the first mass body M1.
In addition, since the second mass body M2 is surrounded by the first mass body M1, the second mass body M2 is displaced inside the first mass body M1, and thus the movement range of the second mass body M2 However, it becomes narrower than the moving range of the first mass body M1. As already described, since the second mass body M2 is positioned above the first mass body M1, if the movement range of the second mass body M2 is narrowed, the upper side of the internal space of the upper structure portion 1 is narrowed. can do. Thereby, when it sees from the side, the upper structure part 11 can be made into an arch shape, and the intensity | strength of the upper structure part 11 can be raised.

The connecting member 31 is a member that connects the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. In other words, the connecting member 31 is a member that connects the pendulum formed by the first mass body M1 and the suspension member 21 and the inverted pendulum formed by the second mass body M2 and the support arm 22. The connecting member 31 restrains the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Thereby, the displacement of the horizontal direction of the 1st mass body M1 and the 2nd mass body M2 becomes the same. When the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are displaced in the horizontal direction, the first mass body M1 is displaced upward in the vertical direction, while the second mass body M2 is displaced downward in the vertical direction. For this reason, the connecting member 31 allows the relative displacement in the horizontal direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 while allowing the relative displacement in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. to bound.
Here, laminated rubber is used as the connecting member 31. However, the connecting member 31 is not limited to the laminated rubber, and the first mass M1 and the second mass M2 are allowed while allowing the relative displacement in the vertical direction between the first mass M1 and the second mass M2. Other members may be used as long as they are members that restrain the relative displacement in the horizontal direction. For example, the connecting member 31 may have a damping function such as a natural rubber (LRB) containing a lead plug or a high damping laminated rubber. The connecting member 31 may be a rolling type like a linear slider.

  When laminated rubber is used for the connecting member 31, the laminated rubber functions like a spring, and the vertical resistance force (restoration) against the vertical relative displacement between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Force). When the amount of movement in the horizontal direction of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is small, the relative displacement between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is small, so the resistance force of the spring is small. When the amount of movement of the mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 in the horizontal direction is large, the relative displacement between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 increases, and the resistance force of the spring increases. For this reason, when the connection member 31 that functions as a spring is employed like a laminated rubber, excessive displacement of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 can be suppressed, and the vibration damping system having a fail-safe function. 1 is effective.

The damper 32 is arranged in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. When the relative displacement in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 changes, the stroke of the damper 32 expands and contracts. Thereby, the damper 32 generates a damping force with respect to the relative velocity in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2.
Here, an oil damper is used as the damper 32. However, the damper 32 is not limited to the oil damper, and may be a damping top (RDT) or the like.

FIG. 3A is a model explanatory diagram of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 of the vibration damping system 1 of the first embodiment.
When the mass of the first mass body M1 is m1, the mass of the second mass body M2 is m2, and the lengths of the suspension member 21 and the support arm 22 are L, the period T of this model is as follows: As described above, since the second mass body M2 has a smaller mass than the first mass body M1, m1-m2> 0.

  T = 2π√ {(L / g) × (m1 + m2) / (m1−m2)}

  That is, in the case of the vibration damping system 1 of the first embodiment, the period T depends not only on the length L of the suspension member 21 but also on the masses of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. For this reason, if the mass of the 1st mass body M1 and the 2nd mass body M2 is adjusted, the length L of the suspension member 21 can be shortened, the height of the damping system 1 is suppressed, and the damping system 1 is small. Can be achieved. In addition, if the masses of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are adjusted, the period T can be adjusted without adjusting the length L of the suspension member 21 and the like, so that the adjustment work is easy. Become.

FIG. 3B is an explanatory diagram of the arrangement of the dampers 32 of the first embodiment.
The damper 32 is disposed between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 in the vertical direction, and is a damping force with respect to the relative velocity in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Are arranged to occur. Accordingly, even if the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are largely displaced in the horizontal direction, the relative displacement in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is small. Then, the damper 32 of a small stroke can be used, and the damping system 1 becomes cheap.

  When the length L of the suspension member 21 and the support arm 22 is 3 m and the horizontal displacement of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is 2 m, the stroke of the damper 32 is about 160 cm (± 80 cm). It becomes. That is, the small stroke damper 32 can be used for the horizontal displacement.

<Method for adjusting period T>
In order to control the vibration control object, it is necessary to synchronize the period T of the first mass body and the second mass body of the vibration suppression system 1 with the natural period of the vibration control object.
However, the natural period of the design of the vibration suppression object (for example, a building) may differ from the natural period of the actual vibration suppression object. In addition, as the time passes, the non-structural elements are unstructured due to the longer period due to the unbonding between the non-structural members and the structural members, the longer period due to the increase in the load in the object to be controlled, or the earthquake. There are many situations in which periodic adjustment is required, such as a longer period due to the bond between the member and the structural member being removed, or a longer period due to a structural member being damaged when an earthquake occurs. For this reason, it is necessary to adjust the period T of the new vibration suppression system 1 at the installation site.
As already explained, the period T of the new vibration damping system 1 depends not only on the length L of the suspension member 21 but also on the masses of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Since the first mass body M1 has a large mass and it takes time and cost to adjust the length L of the suspension member 21, the masses of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are adjusted. In this embodiment, the mass of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is adjusted by increasing or decreasing the number of the adjustment mass bodies 42 (see FIG. 2A), and the period T of the vibration damping system 1 is adjusted. . Preparing the adjustment mass body so as to be movable between the first mass body and the second mass body in advance contributes to the speeding up, efficiency, and safety of the adjustment work. The speeding up of the work also greatly reduces the risk of encountering a large earthquake during the adjustment work.

  As illustrated in FIG. 2A, the second mass body M2 is provided with a housing portion 41. The accommodating portion 41 is a portion that accommodates a plurality of adjusting mass bodies 42. The adjustment mass body 42 is a mass body that can be mounted on the first mass body M1 and can be mounted on the second mass body M2. Since the adjustment mass body 42 can be mounted on both the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2, the adjustment mass body 42 is transferred between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. It is possible.

  The adjustment mass body 42 is a mass body that is heavy enough to be carried by a human. Specifically, the first mass body M1 is 350 tons and the second mass body M2 (including the accommodating portion) is 150 tons, whereas the adjustment mass body 42 is about 20 kg. The adjustment mass body 42 is made of, for example, a metal plate. However, the adjustment mass body 42 only needs to be movable between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2, and may be heavier than a weight that can be carried by a human.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory diagram of a method for adjusting the period T of the vibration suppression system 1. In the drawing, the adjustment mass body 42 accommodated in the accommodating portion 41 of the second mass body M2 is shown moving to the first mass body M1. Thereby, the mass difference (m1-m2) of the 1st mass body M1 and the 2nd mass body M2 becomes large, and it can adjust so that the period T may be shortened. Conversely, if the adjustment mass body 42 placed on the first mass body M1 is moved to the accommodating portion 41 of the second mass body M2, the mass difference (m1-m2) is reduced and the period T is lengthened. Can be adjusted as follows.

  FIG. 5 is a graph showing the relationship between the period of the vibration damping system 1 and the total mass ΔM of the adjustment mass body 42 that has moved from the first mass body M1 to the second mass body M2. Here, the initial mass of the first mass body M1 is 450 t, the initial mass of the second mass body M2 is 50 t, and the lengths of the suspension member 21 and the support arm 22 are L 400 cm. Thus, if the adjustment mass body 42 placed on the first mass body M1 is moved to the accommodating portion 41 of the second mass body M2, the period of the vibration damping system 1 can be adjusted to be longer.

  By the way, simply adding / reducing the mass to the first mass body M1 or the second mass body M2 may not be effective in the adjustment work. For example, in the method of increasing or decreasing the mass of the first mass body M1, the period T (= 2π√ {(L / g) × (m1 + m2) / (m1−m2)}) of the vibration suppression system 1 hardly changes, The efficiency of adjustment work is not good. On the other hand, in this embodiment, the mass difference between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is obtained by transferring the adjustment mass body 42 between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Since the amount of change in (m1-m2) is increased, the period T can be adjusted more efficiently than in the case where the adjustment mass is increased or decreased only in one of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. For example, when the mass m1 of the first mass M1 is 350 tons, the mass m2 of the second mass M2 is 150 tons, and the adjustment mass 42 is 20 kg, the adjustment mass for only the first mass M1 Compared with the case where 42 is increased / decreased or when the adjustment mass body 42 is increased / decreased only with respect to the second mass body M2, the adjustment mass body 42 is disposed between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. In the case of the transfer, the period T changes greatly.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2A, the accommodating portion 41 is disposed below the second mass body M2. Thereby, compared with the case where the mass body 42 for adjustment is mounted on the upper side of the 2nd mass body M2, the upper structure part 11 can be arrange | positioned low and the height of the damping system 1 can be suppressed. In addition, it is possible to stack and mount the adjustment mass body 42 on the upper side of the second mass body M2 without providing the accommodating portion 41, but in this case, it is necessary to configure the upper structure portion 11 higher. End up.

  Since the first mass body M2 is disposed below the second mass body M2 and the adjustment mass body 42 can be placed on the upper side of the first mass body M1, the first mass body M1 has an accommodating portion 41. Is not provided. However, for the purpose of preventing the adjustment mass body 42 from falling, a housing portion for the adjustment mass body 42 may be provided in the first mass body M1.

  As shown in FIG. 4, when transferring the adjustment mass body 42 from the second mass body M2 to the first mass body M1, the operator takes out the four adjustment mass bodies 42 from the accommodating portion 41, and The adjustment mass body 42 is evenly arranged on the first mass body M1. Conversely, when the adjustment mass body 42 is transferred from the first mass body M1 to the second mass body M2, the four adjustment mass bodies 42 are taken out from the first mass body M1 equally, and the four adjustment mass bodies are taken out. 42 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 41 of the second mass body M2. Thereby, the mass body of the vibration suppression system 1 is arrange | positioned equally, and the bias | inclination of mass can be suppressed.

<Reference explanation 1: Damping force of the damper of the second reference example>
12A and 12B are operation explanatory views of the damper 32 of the vibration damping system 1 of the second reference example of FIG. 11B. FIG. 12A is an explanatory diagram of the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration suppression system 1. In the following description, the horizontal displacement of the vibration damping system 1 due to the vibration of the vibration damping object is assumed to be Dx. FIG. 12B is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the damper 32 of the second reference example of FIG. 11B. Here, the horizontal stroke amount of the damper 32 is dx, the changing speed of the horizontal stroke of the damper 32 is Vx, and the damping force (resistance force) of the damper 32 is F.

  FIG. 13 is a graph of the damping force F of the damper 32 having a constant damping coefficient C. The horizontal axis of the graph indicates the stroke change speed V of the damper 32, and the vertical axis of the graph indicates the damping force F (resistance force). The damping force F is a product of the damping coefficient C and the velocity V (F = C × V). In other words, the slope of the graph of FIG. 13 is the attenuation coefficient C, and here, the slope of the graph is constant (the attenuation coefficient C is constant).

  14A to 14D are graphs of changes over time in the case of the second reference example. FIG. 14A is a graph of the time change of the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration suppression system 1. FIG. 14B is a graph of the change over time in the stroke amount dx in the horizontal direction of the damper 32. In the case of the second reference example, the horizontal stroke amount dx of the damper 32 matches the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1. FIG. 14C is a graph of the time change of the stroke change speed Vx in the horizontal direction of the damper 32. The horizontal stroke change speed Vx of the damper 32 is the first derivative of the horizontal stroke amount dx of the damper 32. FIG. 14D is a graph of the time change of the damping force F of the damper 32 of the second reference example. The damping force F in FIG. 14D can be calculated as the product of the velocity Vx in FIG. 14C and a constant damping coefficient C (the slope of the graph in FIG. 13).

  FIG. 9A is a graph of the damping force F of the damper 32 with respect to the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1 of the second reference example. As shown in the figure, in the vibration damping system 1 of the second reference example, a predetermined damping force F can be obtained even when the horizontal displacement Dx is near zero. Further, even when the amplitude of the vibration control object is small, a damping force F corresponding to the horizontal displacement Dx can be obtained (however, as described above, the damper 32 of the second reference example has a large stroke, There will be a cost).

<Reference explanation 2: When the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 of the first embodiment is constant>
FIG. 3C is an explanatory diagram of horizontal and vertical displacements of the first mass body M1. When the first mass body M1 is displaced in the horizontal direction, the first mass body M1 is also displaced in the vertical direction (the second mass body M2 is displaced in the reverse direction in the vertical direction). At this time, the relative displacement in the vertical direction has a non-linear relationship with respect to the displacement in the horizontal direction. Further, the change in the stroke of the damper 32 arranged in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is also caused by the horizontal displacement of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Non-linear relationship. As a result, even if the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are displaced in the horizontal direction, the relative displacement in the vertical direction of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 hardly changes and the damper 32 is attenuated. There may be little force.

  6A and 6B are operation explanatory views of the damper 32 of the vibration damping system 1 of the first embodiment. Similarly to the above, as shown in FIG. 6A, the horizontal displacement of the vibration damping system 1 due to the vibration of the vibration damping object is Dx. FIG. 6B is an explanatory diagram of the operation of the damper 32 of the first embodiment. Here, the vertical stroke amount of the damper 32 is dz, the change rate of the vertical stroke of the damper 32 is Vz, and the damping force (resistance force) of the damper 32 is F. The vertical stroke amount dz of the damper 32 becomes maximum when the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are at the reference position, and the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 are maximum in the horizontal direction. Minimum when displaced. The vertical stroke change speed Vz of the damper 32 corresponds to the vertical relative speed of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2.

7A to 7D are graphs of changes over time in the vibration damping system 1 of the first embodiment. FIG. 7A is a graph of the time change of the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration suppression system 1.
FIG. 7B is a graph of the change over time of the stroke amount dz in the vertical direction of the damper 32. In the second reference example described above, the horizontal stroke amount dx of the damper 32 coincides with the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1, whereas the vertical stroke amount dz ( FIG. 7B) has a non-linear relationship with respect to the horizontal displacement Dx (FIG. 7A) of the vibration suppression system 1. This is because, in the second reference example, the damper 32 is arranged in the horizontal direction, whereas the damper 32 of the first embodiment is arranged in the vertical direction.
FIG. 7C is a graph of the change over time of the stroke change speed Vz in the vertical direction of the damper 32. The vertical stroke change speed Vz of the damper 32 is a first derivative of the stroke amount dz of the damper 32 in the vertical direction. The vertical stroke change speed Vz of the damper 32 corresponds to the vertical relative speed of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. FIG. 7D is a graph of the time change of the damping force F of the damper 32. Here, the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 is constant, and the damping force F in FIG. 7D can be calculated as the product of the velocity Vz in FIG. 7C and the constant damping coefficient C (the slope of the graph in FIG. 13).

  FIG. 9B is a graph of the damping force F of the damper 32 with respect to the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1 of the first embodiment when the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 is constant. As shown in the figure, in the first embodiment, the damping force F is hardly obtained when the horizontal displacement Dx is near zero. Further, due to the fact that the vertical stroke amount dz of the damper 32 is non-linear with respect to the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1, the damping force F of the damper 32 is dependent on the amplitude, and the horizontal displacement Dx is small. As a result, when the amplitude of the damping object is reduced, the absorbed energy of the damper 32 is extremely reduced (as compared with the case of FIG. 9A, the damping force F is significantly reduced). . Thus, if the absorption energy of the damper 32 with respect to amplitude changes extremely, the problem that it becomes difficult for the damping system 1 to obtain the damping force F according to amplitude will arise.

  For this reason, it is desirable that the absorbed energy of the damper 32 is not extremely reduced even when the amplitude of the vibration control object is reduced. Therefore, the damping force F during the initial operation of the damper 32 is secured by using the damper 32 having the characteristics described below.

Second Embodiment
8A and 8B are graphs of the damping characteristics of the damper 32 of the second embodiment.
FIG. 8A is a graph (FV diagram) of the damping force F of the damper 32 with a large damping coefficient C when the stroke change speed V is small and a small damping coefficient C when the vertical stroke change speed V is large. is there. The horizontal axis of the graph in FIG. 8A indicates the stroke change speed V of the damper 32, and the vertical axis of the graph indicates the damping force F (resistance force). Here, the damping force F increases in proportion to the changing speed V in the low speed region of the changing speed V (the region where the changing speed V is equal to or less than V1), and when the changing speed V exceeds V1, the damping force F becomes constant. ing.
FIG. 6B is a graph (CV diagram) of the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 having a large damping coefficient C when the stroke change speed V is small and a small damping coefficient C when the vertical stroke changing speed V is large. is there. The horizontal axis of the graph of FIG. 6B indicates the change speed V of the stroke of the damper 32, and the vertical axis of the graph indicates the attenuation coefficient C. Since the damping force F is the product of the damping coefficient C and the velocity V (F = C × V), the slope of the line connecting each point and the origin of the graph (FV diagram) in FIG. The damping coefficient C of the damper 32 is obtained. As shown in FIG. 6B, the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 becomes a constant value C1 in the low speed region of the change speed V (region where the change speed V is V1 or less), and increases when the change speed V exceeds V1. It has the characteristic which decreases with. For this reason, the damping coefficient C is large when the stroke change speed V of the damper 32 is small, and the damping coefficient C is small when the stroke change speed V is large. Since the damper 32 is disposed in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2, the damper 32 is a relative velocity in the vertical direction between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. Is small, and the damping coefficient C is small when the vertical relative velocity between the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 is large.

FIG. 7E is a graph of the time change of the damping force F when the damper 32 of FIG. 8B is used. The damping force F in FIG. 7E can be calculated as the product of the change speed Vz in FIG. 7C and the damping coefficient C (see FIG. 8B).
FIG. 9C is a graph of the damping force F of the damper 32 with respect to the horizontal displacement Dx of the vibration damping system 1 when the damper 32 of FIG. 8B is used. Although the damping force F is hardly obtained when the horizontal displacement Dx is close to zero, compared with the case where the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 is constant (see FIG. 9B), even if the amplitude of the damping object is reduced, A damping force F is ensured. This is because the attenuation coefficient C is large when the vertical change rate Vz is small. Thereby, compared with the case where the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 is constant, even if the amplitude of the vibration control object is small, an extreme decrease in the absorbed energy of the damper 32 can be suppressed, and the damping force F corresponding to the amplitude can be easily obtained. Become. Moreover, it can suppress that the absorbed energy of the damper 32 increases extremely according to the increase in the amplitude of the 1st mass body M1 and the 2nd mass body M2.

  The damper 32 is not limited to the damper 32 having the characteristics shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B. FIG. 10A is a graph of the damping force F and damping coefficient C of another damper 32. The damper damping coefficient C (the graph on the right in FIG. 10A) is the slope of the line connecting the points and the origin of the graph on the left in FIG. 10A. The damper 32 also has a large attenuation coefficient C when the vertical change speed Vz is small, and a small attenuation coefficient C when the vertical change speed Vz is large. Even when the damper 32 having such characteristics is used, the damping force F during the initial operation of the damper 32 is ensured, so that even if the amplitude of the vibration control object is small, the absorbed energy of the damper 32 is extremely reduced. Can be suppressed.

  In the damper 32 shown in FIGS. 8B and 10A, the damping coefficient C is constant in the low speed region of the change speed Vz. However, as shown in FIG. 10B, the damping coefficient C of the damper 32 may be gradually reduced even in the low speed change region V (the slope of the line connecting the point and the origin of the left graph in FIG. 10B is It may be gradually reduced). Even when the damper 32 having such characteristics is used, the damping force F during the initial operation of the damper 32 is ensured, so that even if the amplitude of the vibration control object is small, the absorbed energy of the damper 32 is extremely reduced. Can be suppressed.

  As described above, when the connecting member 31 that functions as a spring like a laminated rubber is employed, excessive displacement of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2 due to the resistance force (restoring force) of the spring. Can be suppressed. For this reason, the damper 32 having a small damping coefficient C when the vertical stroke change speed V is large, and the resistance force (restoring force) of the spring with the increase in the horizontal displacement of the first mass body M1 and the second mass body M2. By using together with the connecting member 31 that becomes larger, it is possible to configure the damping system 1 that can exhibit the damping effect in a wide range from a low amplitude to a large amplitude while having a function of preventing excessive displacement of the mass body. Become.
