Abstract
A negative stiffness generating mechanism and a quasi-zero stiffness vibration isolator are provided. A housing is mounted on a base, and the axial relative positions of the housing and the base can be adjusted; a negative stiffness unit comprises inner-ring magnets, outer-ring magnets and a supporting shaft, the supporting shaft axially slides on the base and passes through the housing, the inner-ring magnets fixedly sleeve the supporting shaft, and the outer-ring magnets sleeve outside the inner-ring magnets and are divided into upper and lower groups of outer-ring magnets; the upper and lower groups of outer-ring magnets can synchronously move through a negative stiffness adjusting device; and the axial relative positions of the middle planes of the outer-ring and inner-ring magnets can be adjusted by adjusting the axial relative positions of the housing and the base. The isolator comprises a negative stiffness generating mechanism and a positive stiffness unit.
