Abstract

There is provided a translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system for buildings, which includes a translation control unit and a rotation control unit. The translation control unit is provided on an external building structure. The rotation control unit is provided above the translation control unit. The translation control unit includes a fixed base, a first track plate, a first movable plate, a second track plate and a second movable plate. The rotation control unit includes a force-transfer base, a drive, a reducer, an output shaft, a rotary plate and a flange.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system for buildings, comprising a translation control unit and a rotation control unit;
wherein the translation control unit is provided on an external building structure; and the rotation control unit is provided above the translation control unit;
the translation control unit comprises a fixed base, a first track plate, a first movable plate, a second track plate and a second movable plate;
a first main guide rail is provided on the first track plate; a first auxiliary guide rail and a third auxiliary guide rail are respectively provided at two sides of the first main guide rail; a second main guide rail is provided on the second track plate; and a second auxiliary guide rail and a fourth auxiliary guide rail are respectively provided at two sides of the second main guide rail;
a first slider is provided on a bottom surface of the first movable plate to cooperate with the first main guide rail; and a second slider is provided on a bottom surface of the second movable plate to cooperate with the second main guide rail;
the first track plate is provided on the fixed base; and the first track plate and the first movable plate cooperate with each other through the first slider;
the second track plate is fixed on the first movable plate; the second main guide rail is perpendicular to the first main guide rail; and the second track plate and the second movable plate cooperate with each other through the second slider;
the rotation control unit comprises a force-transfer base, a drive, a reducer, an output shaft, a rotary plate and a flange; and
the force-transfer base is fixed above the second movable plate; the drive is fixed on the force-transfer base; and the drive is a stepping motor or a servo motor; the reducer is fixed on the drive, and is connected to the output shaft; and the output shaft is connected to the rotary plate via the flange.

2. The translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system of claim 1 , wherein two ends of the first track plate are respectively provided with a stop block to limit the range of motion of the first movable plate; and two ends of the second track plate are respectively provided with a stop block to limit the range of motion of the second movable plate.

3. The translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system of claim 1 , wherein a first coil and a first permanent magnet are provided in the first main guide rail; a second coil is provided in the first slider; and the first slider is movable in the first main guide rail by means of the first coil, the first permanent magnet and the second coil; and
a third coil and a second permanent magnet are provided in the second main guide rail; a fourth coil is provided in the second slider; and the second slider is movable in the second main guide rail by means of the third coil, the second permanent magnet and the fourth coil.

4. The translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system of claim 1 , wherein a grating ruler is provided in the first auxiliary guide rail and the second auxiliary guide rail, respectively, to measure and output a linear displacement of the first movable plate or the second movable plate.

5. The translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of positioning holes are provided at a bottom of the third auxiliary guide rail and a bottom of the fourth auxiliary guide rail, respectively;
and the positioning holes are in alignment along the third auxiliary guide rail and the fourth auxiliary guide rail, respectively.

6. The translation-rotation hybrid vibration control system of claim 1 , wherein the rotary plate is a disc or a ring.
