ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a damping coefficient switching-type hydraulic damper that may automatically switch a damping coefficient without needing supply of energy from the outside at all, and also may always surely exert an energy absorption capacity greater than that of a typical hydraulic damper. While a piston is moving in a direction A, a mechanical drive means composed of a straight gear and a crank mechanism allows an on-off control operation valve, that is, a flow regulating valve to be placed in a closed state, and a damping coefficient is switched to a maximum value Cmax. When a movement of the piston is turned in a direction B at a left-side maximum point of amplitude, the mechanical drive means works to once open the flow regulating valve to perform elimination of a load, so that the damping coefficient is switched to a minimum value (Cmin). When the piston further moves in the direction B, the mechanical drive means works to close the flow regulating valve again, and the damping coefficient is returned to the maximum value (Cmax). Similar working to the above is also applied to a right-side maximum point of amplitude, and seismic response control is attained with repetition of the above operations.
