Abstract

A vibration test jig may include an upper jig frame to which a vibration test object is fixed and a lower base frame mounted to an oscillator, and a plurality of double parallelograms connected between the jig frame and the base frame, for generating displacements in an upward/downward direction and/or a forward/rearward direction. Each of the double parallelograms may include a complex four-articulation link structure and a wire rope isolator. The vibration test jig can simulate a deformation mode due to generation of resonances.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A vibration test jig comprising:
an upper jig frame to which a vibration test object is fixed and a lower base frame mounted to an oscillator; and
a plurality of double parallelograms connected between the jig frame and the base frame, wherein the plurality of double parallelograms generate displacements in an upward/downward direction or a forward/rearward direction,
wherein each of the double parallelograms comprises:
a pair of stacked parallelograms;
an upper plate coupled to the jig frame;
a lower plate fixed to the base frame;
an articulation link structure that includes a pair of four-articulation links located between the upper plate and the lower plate and connected to the upper and lower plates through pins, wherein each of the articulation links are located at a respective vertex of the double parallelogram;
a stabilizer bar connected to the four-articulation links in the center of the double parallelogram by a pin structure using two link sharing units; and
a wire rope isolator connected between the upper plate and the lower plate,

wherein a deformation mode due to generation of resonances is simulated, and
wherein the plurality of the double parallelograms are mounted at predetermined intervals on the base frame such that the vibration test jig causes vertical relative displacements of the double parallelograms while the vibration test jig vibrates.

2. The vibration test jig of claim 1 , wherein the upper plate comprises a dummy mass supporting the jig frame.

3. The vibration test jig of claim 1 , wherein the upper plate defines the top of the double parallelogram, the stabilizer bar defines the middle of the double parallelogram, the lower plate defines the bottom of the double parallelogram, and a four remaining sides of the double parallelogram are defined by adjustable link bars.

4. The vibration test jig of claim 1 , wherein the stabilizer bar comprises two bars which are spaced apart, joined at their respective ends, and surround the wire rope isolator.

5. The vibration test jig of claim 1 , wherein wire rope mounting members for mounting the wire rope isolators are provided in the upper plate and the lower plate, and the wire rope mounting members are inclined.

6. The vibration test jig of claim 1 , wherein the plurality of double parallelograms between the jig frame and the base frame are disposed such that a length direction of each of the double parallelograms is substantially perpendicular to a line passing through a center of weight of the vibration test jig on a plane of the jig frame.

7. The vibration test jig of claim 5 , wherein the upper and lower wire rope mounting members are bent forwards.

8. A vibration test jig comprising:
an upper jig frame to which a vibration test object is fixed and a lower base frame mounted to an oscillator; and
a plurality of double parallelograms, for generating displacements in an upward/downward direction and a forward/rearward direction, connected to the jig frame and the base frame between the jig frame and the base frame, wherein each of the double parallelograms comprises:
a pair of stacked parallelograms;
an upper plate coupled to the jig frame;
a lower plate fixed to the base frame;
an articulation link structure that includes a pair of four-articulation links located between the upper plate and the lower plate and connected to the upper and lower plates through pins, wherein each of the articulation links are located at a respective vertex of the double parallelogram;
a stabilizer bar connected to the four-articulation links in the center of the double parallelograms by a pin structure using two link sharing units; and
a wire rope isolator connected between the upper plate and the lower plate,

wherein a deformation mode due to generation of resonances is simulated, and
wherein the plurality of the double parallelograms are mounted at predetermined intervals on the base frame such that the vibration test jig causes vertical relative displacements of the double parallelograms while the vibration test jig vibrates.
