Abstract
The present invention discloses a stiffness-adjustable electromagnetic spring. The spring includes a central shaft, an intermediate electromagnetic force control component, and two end electromagnetic force control components, where the two end electromagnetic force control components are located on both sides of the intermediate electromagnetic force control component, the two end electromagnetic force control components and the intermediate electromagnetic force control component are both sleeved on the central shaft, and the intermediate electromagnetic force control component is coaxial with the two end electromagnetic force control components. The stiffness of the electromagnetic spring can be controlled online and the nonlinearity can be adjusted. The spring disclosed in the present invention can generate adjustable negative stiffness to decrease the dynamic stiffness without reducing the static stiffness, thus break through the limitation of carrying capability of the spring on the vibration isolation performance, and has characteristics of compact structure, fast response, and easy control.
