Abstract
A liquid damper system for restraining vibrations generated in a rotating body includes: a liquid damper which is coaxially rotatable with the rotating body and includes a collision member, the collision member being provided in a casing in which liquid is enclosed and the liquid colliding with the collision member when moving in the circumferential direction; and a relative rotation unit configured to cause the liquid damper to rotate relative to the rotating body. Vibrations of a rotating body are effectively suppressed when a rotating body steadily rotates at a main resonance frequency, in the liquid damper system.
Claims25
A liquid damper system, comprising:
- a rotating body;
- a liquid damper which is coaxially rotatable with the rotating body and restrains vibrations occurring in the rotating body;
- and
- a relative rotation unit configured to cause the liquid damper to rotate relative to the rotating body,
- wherein the liquid damper includes a casing in which liquid is enclosed and a collision member which is configured to rotate together with the casing, the liquid in the casing colliding with the collision member when moving in a circumferential direction.
