- the damping device is, for example, a damper.
- the types of dampers are, for example, oil type and shear resistance type. In general, oil type and shear resistance type dampers are often used in buildings.
- the oil type damper uses the incompressible fluid in the cylinder to damp the vibration.
- the shear resistance damper damps the vibration by using the shear resistance of the viscous fluid.
- the viscosity of the viscous fluid used in particular in shear resistant dampers depends on the temperature of the viscous fluid. That is, the damping force of the shear resistance damper depends on the temperature. Therefore, when using a shear resistant damper in a building, it is necessary to select an appropriate viscous fluid in consideration of the use environment. Further, in a damper using a fluid such as an oil type or a shear resistance type, the pressure of the fluid may rise due to an excessive temperature rise or the like, and mechanical elements such as a cylinder seal may be damaged.
- An eddy current damper is known as a damper with extremely small temperature dependence of damping force.

- Kinetic energy is given to the eddy current damper by vibration or the like, and the ball nut does not move in the axial direction even if the screw shaft moves in the direction of the central axis (hereinafter, also simply referred to as the axial direction). Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the movable region of the ball nut in the eddy current damper. Therefore, parts such as the magnet holding member and the conductive member can be made smaller. Thereby, downsizing of the eddy current damper can be realized. Moreover, weight reduction of the eddy current damper can be realized. Furthermore, since each component has a simple configuration, assembly of the eddy current damper is facilitated.

From the results, the upper limit of the thickness of the first permanent magnet and the thickness H1 / R1 of the second permanent magnet was found. Within this range, the eddy current damper can realize a high average energy absorption rate and a low heat input density. The higher the average energy absorption rate, the higher the performance of the eddy current damper, and the lower the heat input density, the lower the calorific value of the conductive member.

- the ball nut 6 having such a configuration is disposed inside the magnet holding member 2 and the conductive member 5. Since the ball nut 6 is fixed to the magnet holding member 2, when the ball nut 6 rotates, the magnet holding member 2 also rotates.
- the type of ball nut 6 is not particularly limited.
- the ball nut 6 may use a well-known ball nut.
- a threaded portion is formed on the inner circumferential surface of the ball nut 6.
- drawing of a part of cylindrical part 6B of the ball nut 6 is abbreviate
- the screw shaft 7 penetrates the ball nut 6 and engages with the ball nut 6 through the ball.
- a screw portion corresponding to the screw portion of the ball nut 6 is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the screw shaft 7, a screw portion corresponding to the screw portion of the ball nut 6 is formed.
- the screw shaft 7 and the ball nut 6 constitute a ball screw.
- the ball screw converts the axial movement of the screw shaft 7 into the rotational movement of the ball nut 6.
- the fixture 8 b is connected to the screw shaft 7.
- the fixture 8b integral with the screw shaft 7 is fixed in the building support surface or in the building.
- the fixture 8b integral with the screw shaft 7 is fixed in the building and integrated with the conductive member 5
- the fixture 8a is fixed to the building support surface.
- the fixture 8b integral with the screw shaft 7 is fixed to the upper beam side of any layer and integrated with the conductive member 5
- the fixture 8a is fixed to the lower beam side between arbitrary layers. Therefore, the screw shaft 7 does not rotate around the axis.
- Fixing of the fixture 8b integral with the screw shaft 7 and the fixture 8a integral with the conductive member 5 may be reversed to the above description. That is, the fixture 8b integral with the screw shaft 7 may be fixed to the building support surface, and the fixture 8a integral with the conductive member 5 may be fixed within the building.
- the screw shaft 7 can advance or withdraw in the axial direction into the magnet holding member 2 and the conductive member 5.
- the screw shaft 7 moves in the axial direction.
- the ball nut 6 rotates about the screw shaft by the action of the ball screw.
- the magnet holding member 2 rotates.
- an eddy current is generated in the conductive member 5 and the copper layer 12 Do.
- a damping force is generated in the eddy current damper 1 to damp the vibration.
- the ball nut 6 is disposed inside the conductive member 5 and the magnet holding member 2. Kinetic energy is given to the eddy current damper 1 by vibration or the like, and the ball nut 6 does not move in the axial direction even if the screw shaft 7 integral with the fixture 8 b moves in the axial direction. Therefore, it is not necessary to provide the eddy current damper 1 with the movable region of the ball nut 6. Therefore, parts such as the magnet holding member 2 and the conductive member 5 can be made smaller. Thereby, the eddy current damper 1 can be miniaturized, and the weight reduction of the eddy current damper 1 can be realized. Furthermore, since each component has a simple configuration, the assembly of the eddy current damper 1 is facilitated. Furthermore, the parts cost and manufacturing cost of the eddy current damper 1 become low.
- the ball nut 6 is disposed inside the conductive member 5 and the magnet holding member 2 so that dust does not easily enter between the ball nut 6 and the screw shaft 7, and the screw shaft 7 becomes smooth over a long period of time. It can move. Further, by arranging the ball nut 6 inside the conductive member 5 and the magnet holding member 2, the end of the tip end side (attachment 8a side) of the fixture 8b and the root side of the conductive member 5 (attachment 8b side) It is possible to shorten the distance to the end of the coil and to miniaturize the eddy current damper. Furthermore, since each component has a simple configuration, the assembly of the eddy current damper 1 is facilitated. Furthermore, the parts cost and manufacturing cost of the eddy current damper 1 become low.
- the conductive member 5 accommodates the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4 therein. That is, the axial length of the screw shaft 7 of the conductive member 5 is longer than the axial length of the screw shaft 7 of the first permanent magnet 3 (second permanent magnet 4), and the volume of the conductive member 5 is large. As the volume of the conductive member 5 increases, the heat capacity of the conductive member 5 also increases. Therefore, the temperature rise of the electrically-conductive member 5 by generation
- the temperature rise of the conductive member 5 is suppressed, the temperature rise of the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4 due to the radiant heat from the conductive member 5 is suppressed, and the temperatures of the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4 Demagnetization due to the rise is suppressed.
- FIG. 6 is a schematic view showing a magnetic circuit of the eddy current damper.
- the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the first permanent magnet 3 is opposite to the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the adjacent second permanent magnet 4. Therefore, the magnetic flux emitted from the N pole of the first permanent magnet 3 reaches the S pole of the adjacent second permanent magnet 4.
- the magnetic flux emitted from the N pole of the second permanent magnet 4 reaches the S pole of the adjacent first permanent magnet 3.
- a magnetic circuit is formed among the first permanent magnet 3, the second permanent magnet 4, the copper layer 12, the conductive member 5 and the magnet holding member 2. Since the gap between the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4 and the copper layer 12 and the conductive member 5 is sufficiently small, the copper layer 12 and the conductive member 5 are in the magnetic field.
- the magnet holding member 2 rotates (see the arrow in FIG. 6), the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4 move relative to the conductive member 5. Therefore, the magnetic flux passing through the copper layer 12 and the conductive member 5 changes. As a result, an eddy current is generated in the copper layer 12 and the conductive member 5. When an eddy current is generated, a new magnetic flux (demagnetizing field) is generated. The new magnetic flux prevents relative rotation between the magnet holding member 2 (the first permanent magnet 3 and the second permanent magnet 4) and the conductive member 5. In the case of this embodiment, the rotation of the magnet holding member 2 is prevented. If the rotation of the magnet holding member 2 is prevented, the rotation of the ball nut integrated with the magnet holding member 2 is also prevented. If the rotation of the ball nut is impeded, the axial movement of the screw shaft is also impeded. This is the damping force of the eddy current damper.
- the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the first permanent magnet is reversed to the arrangement of the magnetic poles of the second permanent magnet adjacent to the first permanent magnet in the circumferential direction of the magnet holding member . Therefore, a magnetic field due to the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet is generated in the circumferential direction of the magnet holding member.
- the amount of magnetic flux reaching the conductive member increases.
- the eddy current generated in the conductive member is increased, and the damping force of the eddy current damper is increased.
- kinetic energy given to the eddy current damper is converted to thermal energy to obtain a damping force. That is, an eddy current generated by kinetic energy due to vibration or the like raises the temperature of the conductive member.
- the heat generation density in the vicinity of the surface of the conductive member facing the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet may be lowered.
- the thickness of the first permanent magnet and the thickness of the second permanent magnet may be reduced. This is because the amount of magnetic flux passing through the conductive member is reduced.
- simply reducing the thickness of the first permanent magnet and the thickness of the second permanent magnet weakens the eddy current generated in the conductive member and reduces the damping force of the eddy current damper.
- the thickness of the 1st permanent magnet and the thickness of the 2nd permanent magnet are made thin, and excessive temperature rise of a conductive member is controlled.
- the damping force of the eddy current damper is secured.
- the eddy current damper is used in a low rotational speed range of several hundred rpm for securing the straightness of the magnetic flux, it is not necessary to use a thick permanent magnet to secure the straightness of the magnetic flux.
- the inventors performed numerical calculations to investigate the optimum first permanent magnet size, the second permanent magnet size, and the thickness of the copper layer, which suppress the temperature rise of the conductive member.
- Table 1 shows the sizes of the first permanent magnet and the second permanent magnet and the thickness of the copper layer used in the numerical calculation.
- the size and characteristics of the first permanent magnet were the same as the second permanent magnet. Therefore, in the following, only the first permanent magnet is mentioned. Further, each dimension was made dimensionless at a distance R1 from the central axis of the screw shaft to the center of gravity of the first permanent magnet (see FIG. 2).

- the cross-sectional area (H1 / R1) ⁇ (W1 / R1) of the first permanent magnet in a plane along the axial direction of the screw axis is constant as 0.038 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, the axial length W1 / R1 of the magnet holding member of the first permanent magnet was determined according to the value of H1 / R1.
- the length of the copper layer in the axial direction of the conductive member was the same as the length W1 / R1 of the first permanent magnet.

- the average energy absorption rate S is an average absorbed energy per unit time and is equivalent to an average calorific value of the conductive member.
- the heat input density Q was calculated by the following equation (2).
- the heat input density Q is a value obtained by dividing the average energy absorption rate S by the area of the surface facing the copper layer of the first permanent magnet. That is, it corresponds to an average heat flux when heat generation in the conductive member is considered as heat input in the surface of the conductive member facing the first permanent magnet.
- ⁇ means the angular velocity [rad / s] of the eddy current damper

- the heat input density Q is 1.0 or less at each of the points B, C, F and G. Therefore, when the points B, C, F and G are plotted in FIG. 10, the region surrounded by the points B, C, F and G has an average energy absorption rate S of 1.0 or less, And, the heat input density Q becomes 1.0 or less (cross hatching region).
- the heat input density Q is greater than 1.0.
- Such a region where the heat input density Q is larger than 1.0 is excluded from the single hatching region.
- the thickness H1 / R1 of the first permanent magnet is 0.018 or more and 0.060 or less
- the thickness H2 / R1 of the copper layer is 0.0013 or more and 0.0065 or less
- the single hatching region and the cross hatching region only indicate a range in which a remarkable effect can be obtained as compared with a conventional viscous damper or the like. Therefore, even in the area other than the single hatching area and the cross hatching area, the thickness H1 / R1 of the first permanent magnet is not less than 0.018 and not more than 0.060, and the thickness H2 / of the copper layer. In the range where R1 is 0.0013 or more and 0.0065 or less, there is no problem in using as an eddy current type damper.

図1は、渦電流式ダンパの軸方向に沿った面での断面図である。図2は、図1の一部拡大図である。図1及び図2を参照して、渦電流式ダンパ1は、磁石保持部材2と、第1永久磁石3と、第2永久磁石4と、導電部材5と、ボールナット6と、ねじ軸7と、銅層12と、を備える。
磁石保持部材2は、主筒2Aと、先端側副筒2Bと、根元側副筒2Cとを含む。
図3は、渦電流式ダンパの軸方向に垂直な面での断面図である。なお、図3ではねじ軸等の一部の構成を省略している。後述する図4及び図5も同様である。図3を参照して、渦電流式ダンパ1が、複数の第1永久磁石3及び複数の第2永久磁石4を含む場合、複数の第1永久磁石3は、磁石保持部材2の主筒2Aの外周面に取り付けられ、磁石保持部材2の円周方向に沿って配列される。同様に、複数の第2永久磁石4は、ねじ軸の周りに磁石保持部材2の円周方向に沿って配列される。1つの第2永久磁石4は、隣接する2つの第1永久磁石3同士の間に隙間を空けて配置される。つまり、磁石保持部材2の円周方向に沿って第1永久磁石3と第2永久磁石4は、交互に配置される。
図1及び図2を参照して、導電部材5は、中央円筒部5Aと、先端側円錐部5Bと、先端側円筒部5Cと、根元側円錐部5Dと、根元側円筒部5Eとを含む。
図4を参照して、銅層12は、導電部材5の内周面に固定される。銅層12はたとえば、銅板、銅めっきである。銅層12は、導電部材5の円周方向の全域に設けられる。したがって、銅層12はリング状である。銅層12は、第1永久磁石3及び第2永久磁石4と隙間を空けて対向する。
ボールナット6は、フランジ部6Aと、円筒部6Bとを含む。フランジ部6Aは円筒形状である。フランジ部6Aは、磁石保持部材の主筒2Aの根元側(取付具8b側)の端と、根元側副筒2Cのフランジ固定部21Cの先端側(取付具8a側)の端との間に設けられ、両者に固定される。円筒部6Bは、フランジ部6Aよりもねじ軸7の先端側に設けられ、フランジ部6Aの先端側の面から延びる。
ねじ軸7は、ボールナット6を貫通し、ボールを介してボールナット6と噛み合う。ねじ軸7の外周面には、ボールナット6のねじ部に対応するねじ部が形成されている。ねじ軸7及びボールナット6は、ボールねじを構成する。ボールねじは、ねじ軸7の軸方向の移動をボールナット6の回転運動に変換する。ねじ軸7に取付具8bが接続される。ねじ軸7と一体の取付具8bは、建物支持面又は建物内に固定される。渦電流式ダンパ1が、たとえば建物内と建物支持面との間の免震層に設置される事例の場合、ねじ軸7と一体の取付具8bが建物内に固定され、導電部材5と一体の取付具8aは建物支持面に固定される。渦電流式ダンパ1が、たとえば建物内の任意の層間に設置される事例の場合は、ねじ軸7と一体の取付具8bが任意の層間の上部梁側に固定され、導電部材5と一体の取付具8aは任意の層間の下部梁側に固定される。そのため、ねじ軸7は軸周りに回転しない。
図6は、渦電流式ダンパの磁気回路を示す模式図である。図6を参照して、第1永久磁石3の磁極の配置は、隣接する第2永久磁石4の磁極の配置と反転している。したがって、第1永久磁石3のN極から出た磁束は、隣接する第2永久磁石4のS極に到達する。第2永久磁石4のN極から出た磁束は、隣接する第1永久磁石3のS極に到達する。これにより、第1永久磁石3、第2永久磁石4、銅層12、導電部材5及び磁石保持部材2の中で、磁気回路が形成される。第1永久磁石3及び第2永久磁石4と、銅層12及び導電部材5との間の隙間は十分に小さいため、銅層12及び導電部材5は磁界の中にある。
渦電流式ダンパでは渦電流が発生する部材(導電部材)に集中的に熱が発生する。そのため、導電部材が高温になりやすい。渦電流を発生させるために導電部材は永久磁石の近傍に設けられる。導電部材が高温になると、輻射熱により永久磁石も高温になる。永久磁石が過度に高温になると、永久磁石が減磁し、発生する渦電流が弱まる。これにより、渦電流式ダンパの減衰力が低下する。
上述の説明では、第1永久磁石及び第2永久磁石の磁極の配置は、磁石保持部材の径方向である場合について説明した。しかしながら、第1永久磁石及び第2永久磁石の磁極の配置は、これに限定されない。
渦電流式ダンパ1の減衰力をより大きくするには、導電部材に発生する渦電流を大きくすればよい。大きい渦電流を発生させる1つの方法は、第1永久磁石及び第2永久磁石から出る磁束の量を増やせばよい。すなわち、第1永久磁石及び第2永久磁石のサイズを大きくすればよい。しかしながら、サイズの大きい第1永久磁石及び第2永久磁石はコストが高く、磁石保持部材への取り付けも容易ではない。
第2実施形態の渦電流式ダンパは、磁石保持部材が導電部材の外側に配置され、回転しない。渦電流は、内側の導電部材が回転することで発生する。なお、第2実施形態の渦電流式ダンパでは、磁石保持部材と導電部材との配置関係が第1実施形態と逆転している。しかしながら、第2実施形態の磁石保持部材の形状は第1実施形態の導電部材と同じであり、第2実施形態の導電部材の形状は第1実施形態の磁石保持部材と同じである。そのため、第2実施形態では磁石保持部材及び導電部材の詳細な形状の説明は省略する。
第3実施形態の渦電流式ダンパは、磁石保持部材が導電部材の内側に配置され、回転しない。渦電流は、外側の導電部材が回転することで発生する。
第4実施形態の渦電流式ダンパは、導電部材が磁石保持部材の内側に配置され、回転しない。渦電流は、外側の磁石保持部材が回転することで発生する。
