Abstract

A multi-dimensional magnetic negative-stiffness mechanism and a multi-dimensional magnetic negative-stiffness vibration isolation system composed thereof are provided. The multi-dimensional damping system is composed of a positive-stiffness mechanism, a multi-dimensional negative-stiffness mechanism, a floating frame, a vibration isolated body, and a mounting base. The positive-stiffness mechanism is a traditional elastic element connected to the vibration isolated body and the mounting base, and provides supporting forces in an X direction, a Y direction, and a Z direction, and a basic vibration isolation function. The multi-dimensional negative-stiffness mechanism is composed of at least two negative-stiffness magnetic groups. Each negative-stiffness magnetic group may provide one-dimensional or two-dimensional negative stiffness. Through a series connection of the at least two negative-stiffness magnetic groups, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional negative-stiffness effect may be implemented to improve the vibration isolation performance of the system in multiple dimensions.
