摘要
The supine patients on ambulance stretcher experienced multi-dimensional excitations from the road. In order to isolate the multi-dimensional vibration effectively, an improved 4-PUU parallel mechanism was proposed as the main structure of the stretcher. Springs and magneto-rheological dampers were installed at the prismatic pairs. Dynamic and state-space equations of the vibration isolation system were deduced. The controllable damping force was obtained by combining LQR with Hrovat semi-active algorithm. The semi-active control and vibration isolation capability were addressed with stochastic road profile excitation. The results show that the stretcher system is able to reduce the translational vibrations along the axes and the rotational vibration around the x-axis validly. The vibration isolation capability of semi-active control stretcher system composed of MR dampers is significantly better than passive control system, and it can achieve almost the same vibration isolation performance as active control system. © 2019, Central South University Press.
