A damping regulating valve 43 is arranged on the unloading valve sleeve 42. A regulating spring 44 is arranged inside the damping regulating valve 43. An adjusting screw cap 45 is installed at the upper end of the damping regulating valve 43. The low-speed damping force of the steering shock absorber can be adjusted by setting damping orifices with different diameters on the damping regulating valve 43. The high-speed unloading damping force can be adjusted by setting inner holes with different diameters in the unloading valve sleeve 42, setting different stiffnesses for the regulating spring 44, and adjusting different depths of the adjusting screw cap 45 to generate different pre-compression amounts of the regulating spring 44, so as to adjust different compression damping forces and tensile damping forces of the steering shock absorber.

[0036] A sealing plug 46 is installed at the upper end of the regulating valve body 41. The setting of the sealing plug 46 ensures the sealing performance of the regulating valve body 41.

[0037] Sealing rings 47 are arranged at the lower and middle parts of the outer periphery of the regulating valve body 41. The setting of the sealing rings 47 ensures the sealing performance of the installation of the regulating valve body 41.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first regulating valve 4 and the second regulating valve 5 are connected to the valve group bracket 21 by threaded insertion.
