Development of spring torsion bar type negative stiffness damping device and applied research

Abstract

Mini-tiller is the most commonly used machine for agricultural production in hilly areas of our country the traditional micro-tiller will produce strong vibration during the working process, which will cause physical injury to the operator while reducing the reliability of the micro-tiller. In response to this problem, a technical solution for arranging a spring torsion bar type negative stiffness vibration damping device on the tiller was proposed, and a spring torsion bar type vibration damping device with stable mechanical performance, economical and practical, and negative stiffness characteristics was developed. A mathematical model of the vibration source of the micro-tiller was established to analyze the vibration parameters of the micro-tiller. On this basis, SolidWorks is used to carry out three-dimensional modeling of the tiller and the vibration reduction device, and Adams is used for vibration simulation analysis. The vibration parameter curve before and after the addition of the vibration reduction device at the handle of the tiller is collected and mathematically analyzed. The results show that the spring torsion bar type negative stiffness damping device has a good damping effect, and the damping rate for displacement in the x, y, and z directions are all above 30%.
