[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is as follows: It includes a base, a rotating body, a lower gasket, a housing, an upper gasket, an adjusting nut, a spring and a rotating shaft;

[0005] The base is in a convex shape, and a stepped hole with a large upper part and a small lower part is provided in the middle of the base. The lower gasket has a central hole, and the lower gasket is horizontally arranged in the large stepped hole of the stepped hole.

[0006] A support ring is provided on the rotating shaft, and the support ring of the rotating shaft is arranged on the lower gasket. The lower part of the rotating shaft passes through the central hole of the lower gasket and extends out of the stepped hole.

[0007] A receiving hole one and a receiving hole two are respectively provided in the middle of the top and bottom of the rotating body. A connecting cylinder with a perforation is provided in the middle of the receiving hole one. The perforation communicates with the receiving hole two. The upper part of the base is located in the receiving hole two. The upper part of the rotating shaft is located in the receiving hole two and the perforation. The rotating shaft and the rotating body are connected by a flat key.

[0008] The connecting cylinder has an external thread, and the adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder. The top of the adjusting nut is closed, and the spring is located between the adjusting nut and the rotating shaft.

[0009] The housing has a placement hole, the rotating body is located in the placement hole, a retaining ring is provided at the top of the placement hole, and the upper gasket is located between the retaining ring and the adjusting nut.

[0010] The bottom of the housing is provided with a flange end, and the flange end is connected to the lower part of the base.

[0011] The housing is filled with damping silicone oil.

[0012] It also includes a gasket, a sealing plug and a spacer. The sealing plug is used to be connected to the upper part of the retaining ring of the placement hole, and the spacer and the gasket are located between the sealing plug and the retaining ring.

[0013] The base, the rotating body, the housing, the adjusting nut and the sealing plug are made of aluminum alloy.

[0017] The top of the adjusting nut is provided with a small hole.

[0018] In the working process of the present invention, by arranging a rotating body between the base and the housing, the rotating body is driven to move by the rotating shaft. Since the adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder of the rotating body, it is convenient to form an integral body; a spring is arranged between the rotating shaft and the adjusting nut, so that the adjusting nut is in contact with the upper gasket;

[0019] When the damping torque is realized, since damping silicone oil is arranged in the housing, during the rotation process of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft drives the rotating body to move together, and in the moving process of the rotating body, frictional forces will be generated between the rotating body and the housing and the base due to the presence of the silicone oil;

[0020] When the damping torque is adjusted, during the operation of the damper, when the damping torque is insufficient, the adjusting nut can be adjusted. By the relative rotation between the adjusting nut and the rotating body, the contact area between the rotating body and the base and the outer shell is increased, thereby increasing the frictional force and finally realizing the increase of the damping torque.

Detailed implementation manner

[0026] As shown in the present invention Figures 1-3 includes a base 1, a rotating body 3, a lower gasket 4, a housing 5, an upper gasket 6, an adjusting nut 10, a spring 11 and a rotating shaft 12;

[0027] The base 1 is in a convex shape, and a stepped hole 16 with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part is provided in the middle of the base 1. The lower gasket 4 has a middle hole, and the lower gasket 4 is horizontally arranged in the large stepped hole of the stepped hole.

[0029] The top and bottom of the rotating body 3 are respectively provided with a first accommodating hole 31 and a second accommodating hole 32 in the middle. A connecting cylinder 33 with a perforation is provided in the middle of the first accommodating hole. The perforation communicates with the second accommodating hole 32. The upper part of the base 1 is located in the second accommodating hole. The upper part of the rotating shaft 12 is located in the second accommodating hole and the perforation. The rotating shaft and the rotating body are connected by a flat key;

[0030] The connecting cylinder 33 has an external thread. The adjusting nut 10 is threadedly connected with the connecting cylinder 33. The top of the adjusting nut 10 is closed. The spring 11 is located between the adjusting nut and the rotating shaft;

[0032] The bottom of the housing 5 is provided with a flange end 14. The flange end is connected to the lower part of the base;

[0033] Damping silicone oil is provided inside the housing.

[0034] In the operation of the present invention, by arranging a rotating body between the base and the housing, the rotating body is driven to move by the rotating shaft. Since the adjusting nut is threadedly connected to the connecting cylinder of the rotating body, it is convenient to form an integral body; a spring is arranged between the rotating shaft and the adjusting nut, so that the adjusting nut is in contact with the upper gasket;

[0035] When the damping torque is realized, since damping silicone oil is provided in the housing, during the rotation of the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft drives the rotating body to move together.

[0043] It also includes a copper bushing 2, the copper bushing is arranged in the small stepped hole of the stepped hole, and the rotating shaft is located in the copper bushing.

[0044] Setting the copper bushing ensures the strength and improves the wear resistance.
