Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shock absorbing devices for connecting automobile parts, in particular to a shock absorber composite bushing. Background Art

[0002] Rubber bushings are commonly found in flexible connections between automobile assemblies and rod systems. Their structural form is mainly to use flexible materials such as rubber as bushings and install them on the car body, followed by bonding metal tubes and rubber as bushings. This type of bushing can bear a large load and can be used on large car bodies. However, due to the physical properties of the flexible material itself, the bushing often causes deviation, tilting, and eccentric wear during use. In more serious cases, the shock absorber bushing will have problems such as "axial retraction" and "insufficient press fit". The long-term torsion of the rubber layer is prone to aging, wear, cracking, etc., resulting in a short service life. Moreover, since this type of bushing is installed by interference fit, the rubber layer is prone to "accumulation", "axial retraction", "insufficient press fit", and excessive rubber deformation during press fit, resulting in deviation, tilting, eccentric wear, and poor shock absorption under heavy loads during use, which can cause safety hazards in severe cases.

[0003] A Chinese patent with announcement number CN212536502U discloses a shock absorber composite bushing installed at both ends of the shock absorber, involving the technical field of automobile shock absorbers, including a rubber matrix, an inner bushing, a bushing tube and a mounting groove, wherein the bushing tube is arranged on the inner wall of the inner bushing, the inner bushing is arranged on the inner wall of the rubber matrix, the outer wall of the rubber matrix is ​​provided with a mounting groove, and the end fixing sleeve of the shock absorber is arranged on the mounting groove, and end covers are also screwed at both ends of the bushing tube, and the end covers are abutted against the rubber matrix.

[0004] The shock absorber composite bushing described in the above patent can significantly improve the overall wear resistance and aging resistance of the composite bushing through the cooperation between the inner bushing and the bushing tube when in use, and limit the rubber matrix to avoid axial shrinkage of the rubber matrix and the phenomenon of inadequate press-fitting. At the same time, the torsional freedom space of the bushing when in use can be increased by opening a mounting groove outside the rubber matrix. However, in the composite bushing of the above structure, the inner bushing and the bushing tube are fixedly connected, and the bushing tube rotates with the automobile shock absorber relative to the mounting shaft when the composite bushing is in use. The bushing tube is easily subjected to greater friction during the rotation process due to the excessive rotation angle between the bushing tube and the mounting shaft during rotation, thereby shortening the service life of the bushing tube. At the same time, since the composite bushing of the above structure limits the rubber matrix by installing end covers at both ends of the rubber matrix, the entire assembly process of the composite bushing is more complicated, which is convenient for efficient assembly and use of the composite bushing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a composite bushing for a shock absorber which can reduce the rotation angle of the bushing tube relative to the mounting shaft when the bushing tube rotates with the automobile shock absorber and can effectively limit the two ends of the rubber sleeve without installing end covers.

At the same time, the limiting shoulders on the outer side of the inner bushing are used to limit the two sides of the rubber sleeve, eliminating the tedious operation of additionally installing end covers, making the assembly process of the composite bushing of the automobile shock absorber more efficient.

[0008] Furthermore, a buffer groove is provided in an annular shape on the inner wall of the rubber sleeve, and the vertical cross-section of the buffer groove is an arc-shaped structure.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the rubber sleeve is larger than the outer diameter of the limiting shoulder, and the inner diameter of the rubber sleeve is the same as the inner diameter of the limiting shoulder.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, it can be ensured that the rubber sleeve is reliably clamped and fixed on the outside of the inner bushing, and the end of the rubber sleeve is blocked and limited under the action of the limiting shoulder.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting ring is sleeved on the outer side of the rubber sleeve, and the connecting ring is plugged into the outer wall of the rubber sleeve.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting ring is mainly used to connect the composite bushing with the automobile shock absorber.

[0014] Furthermore, both ends of the rotating shaft are rotatably connected to the mounting groove, and the roller is welded to the rotating shaft.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating shaft can realize the convenient rotation of the roller relative to the mounting groove.

[0016] Furthermore, the outer wall of the roller extends out of the mounting groove, and the outer wall of the roller contacts the groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the groove and the roller are in cooperative contact, so that the bushing tube can be reliably installed in the inner bushing.

[0018] Furthermore, the cross-section of the groove is an annular structure, and the groove is formed on the inner sleeve.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, convenient rotation of the roller relative to the groove can be achieved.

[0020] Furthermore, the limiting shoulder is formed on the inner bushing, the inner bushing is a wear-resistant metal sleeve, and the bushing tube is a nylon tube.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the wear resistance of the composite bushing can be effectively ensured.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] The utility model provides an installation groove in an annular shape on the outside of the bushing tube, and installs a roller in each installation groove through a rotating shaft, and provides a groove at the matching position of the bushing tube and the roller, so that when the composite bushing rotates with the automobile shock absorber during use, the roller can be used to realize the rotation of the bushing tube relative to the inner bushing, so as to reduce the rotation angle of the bushing tube relative to the installation shaft when rotating with the automobile shock absorber, reduce the friction effect on the bushing tube during the rotation process, and extend the service life of the bushing tube. At the same time, the limiting shoulders on the outer side of the inner bushing are used to limit the two sides of the rubber sleeve, eliminating the tedious operation of additionally installing end covers, making the assembly process of the composite bushing of the automobile shock absorber more efficient, and facilitating the efficient assembly and use of the composite bushing of the automobile shock absorber.
