Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a large damping force using a relatively small device, and control a damping force over a wide range even at a high speed by forming the outer surface of a rotor fixed to a center shaft and the inner surface of a cylinder as electrode surfaces corresponding to each other. SOLUTION: A member 2d of a lid body 2 and a pull handle 13a of a slider 13 are connected to a structure or equipment. When the slider 13 moves in a guide cylinder 12 in a contracting direction, due to exposure to the vibration of the structure or the like, a nut body 14 at the end of the slider 13 causes the reciprocating motion of a center shaft 6 held on lid bodies 2 and 3 via a screw shaft 6a and bearings 4 and 5, and a rotor 7 fixed to the center shaft 6. An electrical viscous fluid 10 is retained in a control gap 10b between the outer surface of the rotor 7 and the inner surface of a cylindrical body 1 via an oil seal 8, and the viscosity of the fluid 10 increases, when voltage is applied to the electrode surface of the control gap 10b, thereby applying braking torque for the reciprocating rotation of the rotor 7. In addition, the braking torque of the rotor 7 is converted into a damping force along the axial direction of the slider 13 via the screw shaft 6 and the nut body 14. The vibration of the structure is thereby controlled.

2. Description of the Related Art An electrorheological fluid is a fluid whose viscosity changes according to an applied voltage, and has a characteristic that it has a fast response speed and consumes very little power. Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 6-2731 is known to utilize this as a vibration damping means. This uses a cylinder as shown in Fig. 1 and causes a one-way flow in the electrorheological fluid by the movement of the piston and the action of the check valve, and this flow is the control gap between the cylinder and the tube concentrically arranged outside the cylinder. To use the outer surface of the cylinder and the inner surface of the tube as the corresponding electrode surfaces for the vehicle suspension system.
The damping force is adjusted by controlling the voltage applied to the electrode surface according to the vibration transmitted from the road surface and changing the fluid viscosity in the control gap.

However, the one using the cylinder as described above shows a strong dependence on the fluid velocity because the electrorheological fluid flows through the control gap at a high pressure and at a high speed. When used with, at high speeds you may experience a slipping condition like a broken chain. If the damping force is increased or the control gap is made smaller so that the damping force can be controlled even at a low voltage, the flow path area is reduced and a throttling effect unrelated to the applied voltage is generated. There is also a problem that it cannot be controlled over a wide range. In order to control a large damping force over a wide range without changing the interval, it is necessary to secure a large area for the control gap, and the device becomes large. The present invention was created in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide an electrorheological flow vibrating device capable of obtaining a large damping force in a relatively small size and controlling the damping force over a wide range even at high speeds. It is in.

The flow of the electrorheological fluid in this device is different from the cylinder that flows through the control gap at high pressure and high speed, and because of the resistance due to the so-called shear flow generated by the relative movement between the rotating body and the electrorheological fluid, the braking torque is increased. It has little speed dependence and can exert viscous effect even in high speed range. The electrode surface has a space of about 1 mm, and a voltage of 0 to several KV is applied from the external power supply and controller, but the current density is 0.
Power consumption is extremely low, about several tens of microamps / cm @ 2. The response speed of the braking torque is several msec to several tens msec.
Therefore, even if a random wave in which various kinds of vibrations are overlapped is received, the optimum damping force can be instantly generated according to the dynamic behavior such as the frequency, the speed, and the acceleration that changes every moment. Braking torque is generated in proportion to the outer diameter and length of the rotating body and the applied voltage, and acts on the central axis.Because the lead of the screw shaft provided in the extension of the central axis also serves as an element for increasing or decreasing the damping force. The device can be miniaturized.

The temperature and volume of the electrorheological fluid 10 change due to the ambient temperature and the damping action. This is because when the vibration damping device absorbs the kinetic energy of the structure, the kinetic energy is converted into heat energy, and in the case of the present device, the temperature of the electrorheological fluid rises. Therefore, a plurality of through holes 1a communicating with the fluid chamber 10a are provided on the same radial line of the cylindrical body 1,
An accumulator 11 made of rubber foam accumulated or a bellows-like metal bellows with both end plates attached was arranged. The accumulator 11 absorbs a change in volume of the electrorheological fluid 10, and prevents the electrorheological fluid 10 from being insufficient to generate a gas portion, which cannot be controlled, or the pressure increases to cause oil leakage. The electrorheological fluid 10 can be replenished from the oil supply port 1b communicating with one of the through holes 1a in which the accumulator 11 is not inserted.

When the device continuously absorbs the kinetic energy of a structure, the energy converted heat is stored in the device. When heat accumulates, the temperature rises, and there is concern that the material may deteriorate and the vibration damping function may deteriorate. Even if it is a vibration control device, some measures are required. In this device, a heat radiating plate 1c is formed on the outer peripheral exposed portion of the cylindrical body 1 so that the temperature does not rise even if the kinetic energy of the structure is continuously absorbed.

The present apparatus constructed as described above has a lid 2
The member 2d and the pull tab 13a of the slider 13 are used by being connected to a structure or equipment. When the slider 13 of this device receives vibration of a structure or the like and moves in the guide tube 12 in the expansion / contraction direction, the nut body 14 at the tip of the slider 13 whose rotation is restricted by the slide key causes the screw shaft 6a and the bearing 4 to rotate. , 5 to reciprocally rotate the central shaft 6 supported by the lids 2 and 3 at both ends of the casing and the rotary body 7 fixed to the central shaft 6. The electrorheological fluid 10 is the oil seal 8 or the mechanical seal 9
Therefore, it is held in the control gap 10b between the outer surface of the rotating body 7 and the inner surface of the cylindrical body 1. When a voltage is applied to the electrode surface of the control gap 10b, the viscosity of the electrorheological fluid 10 increases, and a braking torque is applied to the reciprocating rotation of the rotating body 7. The braking torque of the rotating body 7 is converted into a damping force in the slider axial direction by the screw shaft 6a and the nut body 14 to suppress the vibration of the structure.

The flow of the electrorheological fluid in this device is
Unlike a hydraulic cylinder that flows through a control gap at high pressure and high speed, since it is a simple shear flow, there is little speed dependence of the braking torque, and there is no throttling effect that occurs regardless of the applied voltage. Therefore, the viscous effect can be exhibited even in the high speed region, and a large damping force can be controlled in a wide range. Further, the braking torque is generated in proportion to the outer diameter and length of the rotating body and the applied voltage and acts on the central axis, but the lead of the screw shaft provided in the extension of the central axis is also an element for increasing or decreasing the damping force. Therefore, the device can be downsized.
