Analysis of vibration isolation performance of parallel air spring system for precision equipment transportation

摘要

Precision equipment is usually accompanied with vibrations during road or railway transportation. Sometimes the vibration exceeds the given limit, leading to the damage of the equipment. It is necessary to control the vibration during the transportation. However, it is still difficult to adjust the parameters of a designed vibration isolation system for the transportation of different precision equipment under various road conditions. Aiming at satisfying the vibration isolation requirements of different precision equipment, this paper proposes a parallel air spring vibration isolation system based on the principle of limiting lateral deflection. According to the measured parameters, a rigid-body dynamics simulation model of parallel air spring vibration isolation system is established. Then its feasibility is verified, and the optimal parameters of the vibration isolation system are obtained by a simulation. Finally, the vibration isolation system is built and installed in the equipment to carry out the real vehicle transportation test. The test results show that the transportation vibration isolation system based on the parallel air spring structure has not only excellent vibration isolation efficiency but also acceptable lateral stability. The research results in this paper can provide a reference for the design of the vibration isolation system for the large precision equipment transportation.
