Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile shock absorbers, in particular to a shock absorber piston valve. Background Art
[0002] Shock absorbers are used to suppress the shock when the spring rebounds after absorbing the shock and the impact from the road. They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of the vibration of the frame and body to improve the driving smoothness of the car. When passing through uneven roads, although the shock-absorbing spring can filter the vibration of the road, the spring itself will still have reciprocating motion, and the shock absorber is used to suppress this spring jump. In the suspension system, the elastic element is subjected to impact and vibration. In order to improve the driving smoothness of the car, the shock absorber is installed in parallel with the elastic element in the suspension. In order to attenuate the vibration, the shock absorber used in the automobile suspension system is mostly hydraulic. The working principle of the shock absorber is that when the frame (or body) and the axle vibrate and move relative to each other, the piston in the shock absorber moves up and down, and the oil in the shock absorber cavity repeatedly flows from one cavity to another through different pores. At this time, the friction between the pore wall and the oil and the internal friction between the oil molecules form a damping force on the vibration, so that the vibration energy of the car is converted into oil heat energy, which is then absorbed by the shock absorber and dissipated into the atmosphere. When the cross-section of the oil channel and other factors remain unchanged, the damping force increases or decreases with the relative movement speed between the frame and the axle (or wheel), and is related to the viscosity of the oil.
[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional shock absorber piston valve is just a single one-way valve. 95% of the function of this piston valve structure is to control the tensile performance, and only about 5% of the function is to control and adjust the compression performance. The compression performance adjustment range is very limited, and it cannot achieve better debugging and matching of the compression performance, affecting the comfort and handling performance of the whole vehicle, etc., and cannot meet the performance requirements of today's customers to a greater extent; when meeting different damping force requirements, the piston valve of the traditional shock absorber needs to open a variety of specifications of piston and bottom valve body molds, which leads to a sharp increase in production costs and does not utilize management.
[0004] To this end, we propose a shock absorber piston valve. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a shock absorber piston valve to solve the problem raised in the above background technology that in the existing technology, the traditional shock absorber piston valve is only a single one-way valve. 95% of the function of this piston valve structure is to control the tensile performance, and only about 5% of the function is to control and adjust the compression performance. The compression performance adjustment range is very limited, and it is impossible to achieve better debugging and matching of the compression performance, which affects the comfort and handling performance of the whole vehicle, and cannot meet the performance requirements of today's customers to a greater extent; when the traditional shock absorber piston valve meets different damping force requirements, it is necessary to open a variety of specifications of pistons and bottom valve body molds, which leads to a sharp increase in production costs and does not utilize management problems.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:
[0007] A shock absorber piston valve, comprising:
[0008] A piston column, and a piston split and a piston body arranged on the outer wall of the piston column; a groove 1 is opened on the surface of the piston split body, and an annular boss body and a plurality of protective boss bodies are provided at the bottom of the groove 1, the inner wall of the annular boss body contacts the outer wall of the piston column, and the plurality of protective boss bodies are distributed in an annular shape on the periphery of the piston column within the groove 1;

[0011] The bottom of the piston body is provided with a flow limiting protection valve disc, a second step differential preload valve disc, a second throttle valve disc, a second valve system assembly, a second valve opening gasket, a second limit protection valve disc, and a pressure pad in sequence.

The sum of the thicknesses of the flow limiting protection valve disc and the second step differential preload valve disc should be less than the height difference from the bottom plane of the second groove to the first annular valve line boss.
[0012] When the piston rod performs a stretching movement, the valve system assembly 1 on the end face of the piston split body closes the compression oil flow hole 1, and the oil flows from the stretching oil flow hole 1 on the side of the piston split body, passes through the stretching oil flow hole 2 of the piston body, and pushes the valve system assembly 2 on the end face of the piston body, thereby generating stretching damping;
[0013] When the piston column performs compression movement, the valve system combination 2 on the end face side of the piston body closes the stretching oil flow hole 2, and the oil flows in from the compression oil flow hole 2 on the outer ring of the piston body, passes through the compression oil flow hole 1 of the piston split, and pushes the valve system combination 1 on the end face of the piston split, generating compression damping.

Specifically, the piston split and the piston body can be disassembled by first removing the fixing bolts.
[0017] As a further solution of the present invention, a U-shaped auxiliary pressure groove is provided on the end surface of the support pad and the pressure pad that is opposite to each other.
