Therefore, the flow of hydraulic oil through the first through hole 1131 changes to adapt to the overall change in the damping of the adaptive vibration isolator 100 .
- the upper top plate 140 is stressed to compress the first elastic member 120 downward. Since the stiffness of the first elastic member 120 of the adaptive vibration isolator 100 is less than the stiffness of a steel spring used in an existing vibration isolator, and by a small damping produced when the first through hole 1131 , the second through hole 1521 and the third through hole 1151 are communicated completely in the initial state of the vibration energy consumption device 150 , the adaptive vibration isolator is properly applicable to the light-loaded working condition.
- the upper top plate 140 is stressed and the top cover 141 extrudes the piston rod 114 by compressing the second elastic member 130 . Since the amount of downward movement of the transmission rod 142 and the piston 113 is the amount of compression, the upper top plate 140 moves downward relative to the piston 113 . Since the angle of the hinge assembly 151 changes when it is pushed by the lower portion of the upper top plate 140 , the hinge assembly 151 pushes the movable plate 152 to move toward two sides. Due to light loads, there is a small amount of movement of the movable plate 152 toward two sides, so that the occluded part of the first through hole 1131 is small and the flow of hydraulic oil through the first through hole 1131 is relatively great. Since the hydraulic system 110 in this case has low damping and low stiffness, and by the external first elastic member 120 with low stiffness, the vibration isolation can be achieved. The problem of poor vibration isolation performance of the ordinary vibration isolator with a steel spring under light loads is solved.
- the first through hole 1311 is completely occluded by the movable plate 152 , and the second hydraulic chamber 102 and the first hydraulic chamber 101 can exchange a small amount of fluid only by a gap between the piston 113 and the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 112 , so that the compression of the first elastic member 120 and the second elastic member 130 becomes very slow. This also ensures the safety of the adaptive vibration isolator 100 and prevents damage caused by excessive compression
- the adaptive vibration isolator 100 is free of loads of vehicles.
- the first elastic member 120 and the second elastic member 130 push, under a restoring force, the upper top plate 140 to return to its original shape.
- the upper top plate 140 enables the movable plate 152 to drive the piston 113 to move upward by the hinge assembly 151 , and the movable plate 152 slides toward the inner side relative to the piston 113 .
- the effective aperture of the first through hole 1131 gradually becomes larger and the first through hole 1131 gradually returns to its original shape.
- the upper top plate 140 drives, when being stressed by an extrusion force, the piston 113 to slide relative to the hydraulic cylinder 112 by the second elastic member 130 and the piston rod 114 , and can also drive the vibration energy consumption device 150 to act to adjust the effective aperture of the first through hole 1131 since the second elastic member 130 can generate a restoring force.
- the vibration energy consumption device 150 can reduce the effective aperture of the first through hole 1131 , in order to reduce the flow between the first hydraulic chamber 101 and the second hydraulic chamber 102 ; in a state where the upper top plate 140 is under a low stress, the vibration energy consumption device 150 can increase the effective aperture of the first through hole 1131 , in order to increase the flow between the first hydraulic chamber 101 and the second hydraulic chamber 102 ; and in a state where the upper top plate 140 is under an extreme high stress, the vibration energy consumption device 150 can seal the first through hole 1131 . Therefore, the adaptive vibration isolator can maintain good vibration isolation performance in high load and low load states of the upper top plate 140 , and maintain stable vertical movement.
- the adaptive vibration isolator 100 can maintain good vibration isolation performance in non-load and heavy load states and maintain stable vertical movement.

- 3. referring to

hole 1521 and the first throughhole 1131 mentioned in this embodiment are the effective apertures. - In this embodiment, the vibration
energy consumption device 150 comprises ahinge assembly 151 and amovable plate 152 which are connected with each other. - The second through
role 1521 is formed on themovable plate 152. Thetransmission rod 142 of the uppertop plate 140 passes through thepiston 113 and is connected to thehinge assembly 151. Themovable plate 152 can slide relative to thepiston 113 in the extrusion force of the uppertop plate 140 to adjust the communication apertures of the second throughhole 1521 and the first throughhole 1131. - Also referring to
FIG. 3 , in this embodiment, achute 1522 is formed on two sides of themovable plate 152, and thechute 1522 is in slide fit with theslider 1152. -
FIG. 8 is an enlarged view of part A ofFIG. 4 . Referring toFIG. 5 , in this embodiment, thehinge assembly 151 comprises afirst hinge support 1511, asecond hinge support 1512 and a connectingrod 1513. - The
first hinge support 1511 is connected to one end of thetransmission rod 142 of the uppertop plate 140, thesecond hinge support 1512 is connected to one end of themovable plate 152, and two ends of the connectingrod 1513 are hinged to thefirst hinge support 1511 and thesecond hinge support 1512, respectively. - It should be noted that, in this embodiment, there are
multiple hinge assemblies 151 and multiplemovable plates 152, and the multiplemovable plates 152 are connected to the uppertop plate 140 via themultiple hinge assemblies 151, respectively. Also, the multiplemovable plates 152 are symmetrically formed about a central axis of thepiston 113. - The multiple first through
holes 1131 are formed in one-to-one correspondence with the multiple second throughholes 1521. -
FIG. 9 is a schematic view of another sectional structure of theadaptive vibration isolator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 9 , it should be noted that, in this embodiment, the diameters of the first throughhole 1131, the second throughhole 1521 and the third throughhole 1151 are equal. - Also, it may be understood that, in a state where no vehicles pass through the track bed, the elasticity of the first
elastic member 120 and the secondelastic member 130 can support the gravity of the floating slab track bed. In this case, the first throughhole 1131, the second throughhole 1521 and the third throughhole 1151 are communicated completely and the effective aperture is the maximum. - It may be understood that the vibration
energy consumption device 150 according to the embodiment can reduce the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131 in a state when the uppertop plate 140 is under a high stress, in order to reduce the flow between the firsthydraulic chamber 101 and the secondhydraulic chamber 102; the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 can increase the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131 in a state when the uppertop plate 140 is under a low stress, in order to increase the flow between the firsthydraulic chamber 101 and the secondhydraulic chamber 102; and the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 can also seal the first throughhole 1131 in a state where the uppertop plate 140 is under an extreme high stress. -
FIG. 10 is a schematic view of a sectional structure in another usage state of theadaptive vibration isolator 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention. Referring toFIG. 1 andFIG. 10 , when theadaptive vibration isolator 100 is stressed, the relative slide between the uppertop plate 140 and thepiston 113 causes the rotation of thehinge assembly 151 and then pushes themovable plate 152 so that the position between the second throughhole 1521 on themovable plate 152 and the first throughhole 1131 on thepiston 113 changes relatively. Accordingly, the part of the first throughhole 1131 occluded by themovable plate 152 increases or decreases relatively. Therefore, the flow of hydraulic oil through the first throughhole 1131 changes to adapt to the overall change in the damping of theadaptive vibration isolator 100. - {circle around (1)} Under light loads, the upper
top plate 140 is stressed to compress the firstelastic member 120 downward. Since the stiffness of the firstelastic member 120 of theadaptive vibration isolator 100 is less than the stiffness of a steel spring used in an existing vibration isolator, and by a small damping produced when the first throughhole 1131, the second throughhole 1521 and the third throughhole 1151 are communicated completely in the initial state of the vibrationenergy consumption device 150, the adaptive vibration isolator is properly applicable to the light-loaded working condition. - The upper
top plate 140 is stressed and thetop cover 141 extrudes thepiston rod 114 by compressing the secondelastic member 130. Since the amount of downward movement of thetransmission rod 142 and thepiston 113 is the amount of compression, the uppertop plate 140 moves downward relative to thepiston 113. Since the angle of thehinge assembly 151 changes when it is pushed by the lower portion of the uppertop plate 140, thehinge assembly 151 pushes themovable plate 152 to move toward two sides. Due to light loads, there is a small amount of movement of themovable plate 152 toward two sides, so that the occluded part of the first throughhole 1131 is small and the flow of hydraulic oil through the first throughhole 1131 is relatively great. Since thehydraulic system 110 in this case has low damping and low stiffness, and by the external firstelastic member 120 with low stiffness, the vibration isolation can be achieved. The problem of poor vibration isolation performance of the ordinary vibration isolator with a steel spring under light loads is solved. - {circle around (2)} Under high loads, the working procedure is the same as that under light loads. The difference lies in that, with the increase in loads, the part of the first through hole 1311 occluded by the
movable plate 152 becomes larger and the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131 becomes less, so that the pressure in the secondhydraulic chamber 102 is higher. This can gradually reduce the amount of compression of the firstelastic member 120, prevent the too large vertical movement of the firstelastic member 120 under high loads, and maintain good vibration isolation performance. - {circle around (3)} Under extreme heavy loads, the first through hole 1311 is completely occluded by the
movable plate 152, and the secondhydraulic chamber 102 and the firsthydraulic chamber 101 can exchange a small amount of fluid only by a gap between thepiston 113 and the inner wall of thehydraulic cylinder 112, so that the compression of the firstelastic member 120 and the secondelastic member 130 becomes very slow. This also ensures the safety of theadaptive vibration isolator 100 and prevents damage caused by excessive compression - {circle around (4)} After vehicles pass through the track bed, the vibration isolation task is completed. In this case, the
adaptive vibration isolator 100 is free of loads of vehicles. The firstelastic member 120 and the secondelastic member 130 push, under a restoring force, the uppertop plate 140 to return to its original shape. The uppertop plate 140 enables themovable plate 152 to drive thepiston 113 to move upward by thehinge assembly 151, and themovable plate 152 slides toward the inner side relative to thepiston 113. The effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131 gradually becomes larger and the first throughhole 1131 gradually returns to its original shape. - In conclusion, in the
adaptive vibration isolator 100 according to this embodiment, the uppertop plate 140 drives, when being stressed by an extrusion force, thepiston 113 to slide relative to thehydraulic cylinder 112 by the secondelastic member 130 and thepiston rod 114, and can also drive the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 to act to adjust the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131 since the secondelastic member 130 can generate a restoring force. In a state where the uppertop plate 140 is under a high stress, the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 can reduce the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131, in order to reduce the flow between the firsthydraulic chamber 101 and the secondhydraulic chamber 102; in a state where the uppertop plate 140 is under a low stress, the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 can increase the effective aperture of the first throughhole 1131, in order to increase the flow between the firsthydraulic chamber 101 and the secondhydraulic chamber 102; and in a state where the uppertop plate 140 is under an extreme high stress, the vibrationenergy consumption device 150 can seal the first throughhole 1131. Therefore, the adaptive vibration isolator can maintain good vibration isolation performance in high load and low load states of the uppertop plate 140, and maintain stable vertical movement. - In the track bed vibration isolation system in this embodiment, the
adaptive vibration isolator 100 can maintain good vibration isolation performance in non-load and heavy load states and maintain stable vertical movement. - The foregoing descriptions are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and variations can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall fall into the protection scope of the present invention.
