Eddy current energy-dissipating spacer

An eddy current energy-dissipating spacer, wherein the eddy current energy-dissipating spacer is composed of a spacer frame, a conductor clamp and energy-dissipating elements, wherein the energy-dissipating elements are composed of bolts, a cover plate, a hollow cylinder, gears a, gears b, torsional springs, permanent magnets, a copper sheet and limiting plates;

• the spacer frame is a cube frame structure;
• the energy-dissipating elements are fixed on four corners of the spacer frame;
• a shell of the energy-dissipating element is formed by the hollow cylinder and the cover plate which are connected by bolts;
• there are two gears b, one end of which is fixed on an inner wall of the conductor clamp, and the other end of which penetrates through the shell of the energy-dissipating element, is fixed with the torsional spring and rotates around a center axis of the torsional spring;
• there are two gears a which are connected by connecting rods as a whole;
• and the gears a are engaged with the gears b and rotate around the center axis thereof, and the center axis of the gears a is located at the center of the energy-dissipating element;
• each energy-dissipating element has two permanent magnets which are respectively fixed on an inner wall of the cover plate and an inner wall of the hollow cylinder which is symmetrical with the cover plate of the energy-dissipating element;
• the copper sheet, which is located between two permanent magnets, is connected with the connecting rod and rotates with the rotation of the connecting rod;
• and
• the limiting plates, with a layer of viscoelastic material adhered to the surface thereof, are fixed on an outer surface of the cover plate and an outer surface of the hollow cylinder which is symmetrical with the cover plate of the energy-dissipating element, and the conductor clamp is located between two limiting plates, thereby achieving limiting.
