Mounting device for shock absorbers of motor vehicles

Abstract

The invention relates to a supporting device (1; 33; 39; 44) for a shock absorber (3; 47) of a motor vehicle, which comprises a pin movable joint (12; 52). The pin movable joint makes a shock-absorbing piston (4; 46) and a movable joint cap (9; 35; 41; 45) connected. In this way, damping force of the shock absorber (3; 47) can be led to the movable joint cap. Furthermore, the movable joint cap establishes connection of the shock absorber on the vehicle body when the shock absorber (3; 47) is arranged and further makes the damping force transmitted to the vehicle body. In order to achieve an outstanding shock absorber supporting device (1; 33; 39; 44) which has a low manufacture cost and is simple to assemble, a space (11; 36; 42)is defined between the movable joint cap (9; 35; 41; 45) and a cover (10; 34; 40; 49) fixed on the movable joint cap. The pin movable joint (12; 52) is accommodated inside the space. Furthermore, the space is only open towards the shock-absorbing piston (4;46) in order to make the shock-absorbing piston connected to the pin movable joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a support device for a shock absorber of a motor vehicle, said support device includes a pin joint, which connects the damping piston with the joint cap, whereby the damping force of the shock absorber The joint cap can be inserted into the joint cap, and wherein the joint cap establishes the connection of the shock absorber to the vehicle body in the installed state of the shock absorber and transmits the damping force introduced therein to the vehicle body. Background technique [0002] In motor vehicles, the mounting device of the shock absorber serves to fix the respective shock absorber between parts of the respective motor vehicle that are movable relative to each other, for example between the axle or wheel and the body, or for example the driver's cab and the vehicle frame between. In addition to the compensation of manufacturing tolerances and the dynamic tensioning, the damper bearing here also brings about a vibrati...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although a very compact design can be achieved by combining both functions in one component, this has the result that, in addition to the damping force, the spring force of the corresponding spring is also transmitted via the upper and lower bearings of the shock absorber

Due to the accompanying tensioning of the joints of the respective bearing device, the decoupling of vibrations and thus also the comfort is worsened.
