Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a clutch booster, in particular to an oil pressure control structure for a clutch booster. Background Art
[0002] The control piston assembly of the existing oil pressure control structure of the clutch booster for automobiles mainly consists of a control piston 2 and a sealing ring 1 installed thereon. The current structure is that the front end of the control piston uses a Y-shaped sealing ring to seal the air, and the rear end uses a double-opening Y-shaped sealing ring (such as Figure 1 The double-opening Y-ring seals with the right opening sealing oil, and the left lip sealing air. During operation, the pressurized opening squeezes the non-pressurized opening toward the gap between the piston and the cylinder bore, causing excessive wear or damage to the opening and shortening the product's life.
[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art are committed to developing an oil pressure control structure for a clutch booster that can increase the service life of the clutch booster. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an oil pressure control structure for a clutch booster, which can avoid the risk of the opening edge of the sealing ring being squeezed into the gap between the piston and the cylinder hole, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing ring, and can also avoid air leakage of the intake valve, thereby improving the sealing performance of the clutch booster, with a compact structure and stable operation.
[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides an oil pressure control structure for a clutch booster, comprising an oil pressure controller cavity, a valve seat being provided in the oil pressure control cavity, a valve assembly being provided in the valve seat, the valve assembly comprising a valve housing and a valve, the valve being provided in the valve housing, the valve housing and the valve being closely matched, the valve housing comprising a housing wall and a housing bottom, an air hole being provided on the housing bottom; the valve (104) comprising a valve body and a valve bottom, the valve body being closely matched with the housing wall.
[0006] Furthermore, the air hole is arranged at the geometric center of the shell bottom.
[0007] Furthermore, an air intake connector is provided at the outer end of the oil pressure control chamber, one end of which extends into the oil pressure control chamber and abuts against the valve seat. The air intake connector provided in the oil pressure control chamber is provided with a valve return spring, one end of which abuts against the air intake connector and the other end abuts against the bottom surface of the valve.
[0008] Furthermore, a control piston is provided in the oil pressure control chamber, and the control piston includes a piston rod and a piston provided at one end of the piston rod; two sealing ring grooves are provided on the piston, and a Y-shaped sealing ring is provided in each of the two sealing ring grooves, and the opening directions of the two Y-shaped sealing rings are arranged facing each other.
[0009] Furthermore, the opening of the Y-shaped sealing ring close to the piston rod faces one side of the piston rod, and the opening of the Y-shaped sealing ring faces the top surface of the piston.
[0010] Furthermore, a sealing ring groove is also provided on the piston rod, and a Y-shaped sealing ring is also provided in the sealing ring groove on the piston rod. The opening direction of the Y-shaped sealing ring on the piston rod is consistent with that of the Y-shaped sealing ring.
[0011] Furthermore, the free end of the piston rod extends into the valve seat, the diameter of the free end of the piston rod is smaller than the middle diameter of the piston rod, and a piston return spring is sleeved on the end of the piston rod. The piston return spring is also in the valve seat, and the end is clamped on the boss.
[0012] Furthermore, a boss is provided on the rear end surface of the shell bottom, and the inner diameter circle of the valve return spring can be sleeved on the outer circle contour of the boss.
[0013] Furthermore, the outer diameter of the boss is equal to the inner diameter of the valve return spring.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: (1) Two sealing ring grooves are provided on the piston, and the sealing ring is changed into two independent Y-shaped sealing rings, which respectively seal the hydraulic and pneumatic pressures from two different directions. This can effectively avoid the risk of the sealing opening being squeezed into the gap between the piston and the cylinder hole, thereby increasing the service life of the sealing ring and further increasing the overall service life of the product. (2) The exhaust air hole during the assembly of the valve assembly is left on the valve housing. In such a structure, even if a fitting gap occurs between the valve and the valve housing, the compressed air at the air inlet will only flow back to the air inlet through the air hole in the center of the valve housing, and will not flow into the valve seat, thereby ensuring the sealing performance of the product. (3) The oil pressure control structure for the clutch booster using this solution is compact in structure, reduces the spatial volume of the oil pressure control structure part of the clutch booster, and has a reasonable overall design structure, which makes the operation stable and the service life long. (4) A boss is provided on the rear end face of the shell bottom so that the force of the valve return spring acting on the valve assembly is evenly distributed along the center. The valve can be opened and closed smoothly without any jamming, thereby preventing air leakage from the valve assembly and improving the overall service life and quality of the product.
