Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of vehicle shock absorption, in particular to an adjustable cylinder shock absorption system. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the improvement of people's living standards, cars and motorcycles have been popularized in thousands of households. In order to improve the smoothness and comfort during driving, it is necessary to set a shock-absorbing structure on the body. However, the existing shock-absorbing structures of motorcycles mostly use hydraulic and spring steel structures for shock absorption. However, this shock-absorbing structure will be affected to varying degrees with the changes in weight and road conditions during driving, making the shock absorption effect worse, especially when there is one person or fewer passengers. Because of the light weight, the shock absorption performance of the vehicle cannot reach the best, and the passengers will feel that the shock absorption is relatively "hard", reducing the riding comfort; when the vehicle is loaded or full, because of the heavy weight, the performance of the vehicle's shock absorption system reaches its limit, and the passengers will feel that the shock absorption cannot be started, reducing the riding comfort, and making the shock absorption effect unsatisfactory. Summary of the invention

[0019] Reference Figure 1As shown, an adjustable cylinder 300 shock absorption system according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an air tank 100, a pressure regulating switch 200 and a cylinder 300, wherein the cylinder 300 is arranged on a shock-absorbing part of a motorcycle, and a piston rod of the cylinder 300 is connected to a bearing part of the motorcycle; an air outlet of the air tank 100 is connected to the cylinder 300 through a first air pipe 400, and an air inlet of the air tank 100 is connected to an air pump 600 through a second air pipe 500, and the air pump 600 is arranged on a motorcycle body; a first sensor for detecting the load-bearing weight is arranged on the cylinder 300, and the first sensor is electrically connected to the pressure regulating switch 200, and the pressure regulating switch 200 is arranged on the first air pipe 400. Compared with the prior art, the embodiment of the present invention sets the cylinder 300 on the shock-absorbing part of the motorcycle, and the piston rod of the cylinder 300 is connected to the bearing part of the motorcycle. During operation, according to the actual load condition of the vehicle, when the first sensor detects that the vehicle is loaded or fully occupied, the opening of the pressure regulating switch 200 is increased, and the amount of air delivered to the cylinder 300 by the gas tank 100 is increased, so that the cylinder 300 is pressurized, which has a better shock-absorbing effect; when the first sensor detects that the vehicle load is light, the opening of the pressure regulating switch 200 is reduced, and the amount of air delivered to the cylinder 300 by the gas tank 100 is reduced, so that the cylinder 300 is depressurized, which has a better shock-absorbing effect; the embodiment of the present invention can adjust the pressure of the cylinder 300 according to the weight of the vehicle and the weight of the passengers and cargo, so as to obtain a better shock-absorbing effect and improve the riding comfort of the passengers.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present invention, a one-way valve 700 with adjustable pressure is provided on the second air pipe 500. The one-way valve 700 can make the flow direction of gas in the second air pipe 500 unidirectional, ensuring that the gas delivered by the air pump 600 can only be delivered to the gas storage tank 100, and the gas in the gas storage tank 100 cannot flow back to the air pump 600; at the same time, by setting the one-way valve 700 to a pressure regulating type, the opening pressure of the one-way valve 700 can be adjusted, and the opening pressure adjustment range is large, which can be applied to occasions requiring both smaller opening pressure and larger opening pressure.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present invention, the air pump 600 is connected to a pressure switch 800 for controlling the start and stop of the air pump 600, and the pressure switch 800 is electrically connected to a pressure detection component, which is used to detect the pressure in the gas tank 100. With this arrangement, the pressure detection component can detect the pressure in the gas tank 100 in real time, that is, it can detect the storage amount of gas in the gas tank 100, and transmit the signal to the pressure switch 800 in real time. When the pressure in the gas tank 100 is lower than the set value, the pressure switch 800 controls the air pump 600 to replenish gas into the gas tank 100, so that the pressure of the gas tank 100 is always maintained in a pressure range that can normally deliver gas to the cylinder 300, ensuring the function of automatically adjusting the pressure of the cylinder 300 to achieve ideal shock absorption performance.

[0022] Furthermore, the pressure detection component includes a second sensor disposed in the gas tank 100, the second sensor is used to detect the pressure in the gas tank 100 in real time, and the second sensor is electrically connected to the pressure switch 800. When the second sensor detects that the pressure in the gas tank 100 is lower than the lower limit pressure value, it transmits a signal to the pressure switch 800, and the pressure switch 800 starts the air pump 600 to deliver gas to the gas tank 100; when the delivered gas makes the pressure in the gas tank 100 reach the upper limit pressure value, the second sensor transmits a signal to the pressure switch 800, and the pressure switch 800 controls the air pump 600 to stop inflating; the pressure of the gas tank 100 can be intelligently controlled to be maintained between the upper limit pressure value and the lower limit pressure value; it can prevent the gas pressure in the gas tank 100 from being too low, and the gas cylinder 300 cannot be replenished with gas, and it can also prevent the gas pressure in the gas tank 100 from being too high, and the risk of explosion.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present invention, the cylinder 300 is connected to the shock-absorbing part of the motorcycle, and the piston rod of the cylinder 300 is hinged to the bearing part of the motorcycle. This arrangement can reduce the resistance of the cylinder 300 to the piston rod. Specifically, the shock-absorbing part of the motorcycle is a buffer spring, and the bearing part of the motorcycle is a shock absorbing head, which is arranged at the top of the spring. The buffer spring is provided with the cylinder 300, and the piston rod of the cylinder 300 is hinged to the shock absorbing head. Of course, the shock-absorbing part and the bearing part of the motorcycle are not specifically limited here.

[0024] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various changes and modifications. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
