The valve comprises a valve sleeve, a main valve core, a main valve chamber, and a main return spring. The main valve core is provided with a first and a second one-way valve. The valve sleeve defines an oil outlet passage. A housing is mounted on the upper end of the valve sleeve, leaving an oil outlet gap between the bottom of the housing and the top of the valve sleeve. The valve sleeve is provided with a third and a fourth one-way valve. A pilot valve is located within the main valve chamber, connecting the oil outlet passage. The housing houses an electromagnetic drive assembly for operating the pilot valve. During compression, oil first passes through the first one-way valve and enters the pilot valve, which then opens the main valve core.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the following is a detailed description of the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention in combination with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] This embodiment provides an electromagnetic actuator, such as Figure 1 As shown, it is applied to a shock absorber and includes a coil 32, a magnetic tube 33, a slider 34 and a push rod 31. The coil 32, the magnetic tube 33, the slider 34 and the push rod 31 are all located in the tube 5. The magnetic tube 33 is cylindrical. The coil 32 is sleeved on the magnetic tube 33. The bottom of the magnetic tube 33 is provided with an inwardly recessed mounting groove 331, and the slider 34 is slidably inserted into the mounting groove 331; the lower end of the slider 34 is connected to the upper end of the push rod 31; the highest point of the magnetic tube 33 is higher than the highest point of the coil 32, and the lowest point of the magnetic tube 33 is lower than the lowest point of the coil 32.

[0036] The magnetic tube 33 can completely cover the range of the coil 32. Through saturation, the electromagnetic force of the slider 34 is kept constant at different positions, so that the slider 34 works stably, and then the push rod 31 works stably. Under the constant electromagnetic force, the movement of the slider 34 can be more precise. When the user adjusts the shock absorber, the adjustment accuracy can be guaranteed, especially for the reset of the adjustment. The electromagnetic force is constant and the slider 34 can be reset accurately, thereby improving the user experience.

[0037] In order to ensure reliable movement of the slider 34, Figure 2 As shown, the slider 34 has a first through-hole 341 at its center. A magnetic isolation plate 35 is provided at the upper end of the slider 34 and is connected to the top of the slider 34. The first through-hole 341 connects the upper and lower sides of the slider 34, facilitating the flow of oil and balancing the upper and lower pressures on the slider 34, facilitating its movement. The design of the magnetic isolation plate 35 prevents the slider 34 from being stuck.

[0038] In order to ensure the reliability of the structure of the magnetic isolation plate 35, a first boss 351 extending downward is provided at the center of the magnetic isolation plate 35, and the outer wall surface of the first boss 351 cooperates with the first through hole 341; a second through hole 352 is provided on the first boss 351, and the second through hole 352 connects the first through hole 341 with the top of the magnetic isolation plate 35. In this embodiment, the magnetic isolation plate 35 is made of a material that will not be attracted by magnetic force. The design of the first boss 351 improves the structural strength of the magnetic isolation plate 35. The first boss 351 cooperates with the first through hole 341 to facilitate the connection between the magnetic isolation plate 35 and the slider 34; the second through hole 352 can connect the upper and lower parts and also play a damping role.

[0039] In order to ensure reliable oil flow, Figure 4 As shown, the magnetic isolation plate 35 is provided with a second upwardly extending boss 353; the top surface of the second boss 353 is a circular arc surface; and the edge of the magnetic isolation plate 35 is provided with a groove 354 that is recessed toward the center. The design of the second boss 353 improves the structural strength of the magnetic isolation plate 35, making the magnetic isolation plate 35 more stable when abutting the bottom of the mounting groove 331. At the same time, when the magnetic isolation plate 35 abuts the bottom of the mounting groove 331, a gap is left between the bottom of the mounting groove 331 and the magnetic isolation plate 35, facilitating the flow of oil. The top surface of the second boss 353 is a circular arc surface, which can reduce the resistance between the magnetic isolation plate 35 and the oil during movement. The design of the groove 354 can reduce the material used in the magnetic isolation plate 35, reducing its weight and facilitating molding.

[0040] In order to ensure the reliability of the first through hole 341, Figure 3As shown, the first through hole 341 includes an upper section 3411 and a lower section 3412, which are connected by a step surface 3413. The diameter of the lower section 3412 is larger than that of the upper section 3411. The top of the push rod 31 is set on the lower section 3412. A gap 311 is provided between the push rod 31 and the hole wall of the lower section 3412. Specifically, the push rod 31 is cylindrical as a whole, with a flat surface 312 on the side. The gap 311 is formed between the flat surface 312 and the hole wall of the lower section 3412. The push rod 31 and the lower section 3412 are interference fit. The design of the step surface 3413 can limit the deepest installation distance of the push rod 31. The gap 311 can connect the upper end 3411 with the bottom of the slider 34, so that the oil on both sides can be balanced.

[0041] In order to ensure reliable sliding of the slider 34, a partition 36 is provided between the groove wall of the mounting groove 331 and the slider 34. The design of the partition 36 can make the slider 34 slide more smoothly.

[0042] To ensure a reliable seal, an upper sealing cover 51 is installed on the top of the cylinder 5. A third boss 332 is provided on the top of the magnetic tube 33, and a retaining groove 511 is provided at the bottom of the upper sealing cover 51. The third boss 332 engages with the retaining groove 511. The design of the upper sealing cover 51 prevents oil from leaking from above. The third boss 332 cooperates with the retaining groove 511 to facilitate the positioning and installation of the magnetic tube 33.

[0043] like Figure 5 As shown, a tapered groove 333 is provided on the side surface of the magnetic tube 33 ; the projection of the tapered groove 333 on the vertical plane coincides with the projection of the coil 32 on the vertical plane.

[0044] To ensure a reliable seal, a lower sealing cover 52 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 5. The lower sealing cover 52 is generally annular. The bottom of the magnetic tube 33 is provided with an outward-facing protrusion 334, and the inner side of the lower sealing cover 52 cooperates with the protrusion 334. Specifically, the inner side of the lower sealing cover 52 is stepped, and the protrusion 334 cooperates with one of the steps. The design of the lower sealing cover 52 prevents oil from coming into contact with the coil 32. The protrusion 334 cooperates with the step to facilitate the positioning and installation of the magnetic tube 33. Compared with traditional designs, the lower sealing cover 52 omits the circumferential outer portion of the coil 32 and uses the cylinder 5 as a partial component of the valve, saving material and reducing weight.

Any person skilled in the art can make some changes or modifications to equivalent embodiments using the technical contents disclosed above without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
