This utility model provides a manual inflation fixture, belonging to the field of twin-tube
shock absorber equipment. The fixture includes a sleeve, which is open at one end. During use, the sleeve end face and the cylinder end face (e.g., the cylinder body end face) are on the same horizontal plane, and the
piston rod inside the cylinder (e.g., the
shock absorber) is inserted into the sleeve through the sleeve opening. A sealing cavity is formed between the two end faces of the sleeve to prevent gas leakage. An air inlet is provided through the sleeve side wall, with one end connected to the sealing cavity and the other end connected to an external air source. This utility model is suitable for using a simple structure to inject
nitrogen into a twin-tube
shock absorber to compensate for its performance. At the intersection of the
piston rod and cylinder, a component is used to pry open a gap in the oil seal. The sleeve is then fitted onto the intersection of the
piston rod and cylinder, forming a sealing cavity between the two end faces. Gas is injected into the sealing cavity, and the gas enters the cylinder (e.g., the shock absorber) through the gap between the oil seals.
