[0002] The shock absorber is an apparatus for accelerating the damping of the vibration of a vehicle frame and a vehicle body to improve the riding comfort of the vehicle. When the vehicle frame and the vehicle bridge reciprocate relative to each other, the piston plate in the shock absorber also reciprocates in the cylinder. Then, the oil in the shock absorber housing repeatedly flows from one cavity to another cavity through some narrow apertures. At this time, the friction between the aperture wall and the oil and the internal friction of the liquid molecules form a damping force for the vibration, so that the vibration energy of the vehicle body and the vehicle frame is converted into heat energy, which is absorbed by the oil and the shock absorber housing and then dissipated into the atmosphere. The damping force of the shock absorber increases or decreases with the increase or decrease of the relative speed of the vehicle frame and the vehicle bridge (or the vehicle wheel) and is related to the viscosity of the oil.

[0003] The existing support pad for the shock absorber piston plate valve has a pure plane. At the instant of valve opening and return, the oil flow generates a mirror surface adsorption effect, the valve plate is adsorbed to the support pad, and the damping performance has an instantaneous mutation, which brings a sudden feeling to the driving and riding experience of the whole vehicle.

[0027] A positioning unit 702 being arranged on the inner side of the support pad 3, the positioning unit 702 comprising a center ring 7021 and a butt joint rod 7024, the center ring 7021 being fixedly installed on the inner side of the support pad 3, and the butt joint rod 7024 being fixedly connected to the bottom end of the center ring 7021.

[0028] In the embodiment: through this structure, the support pad 3 can be connected under the action of the positioning unit 702, and then the support pad 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston plate 2. The piston plate 2 is sealed and pressed by bolts. When the valve piece on the support pad 3 is opened, the valve piece deforms and contacts the support pad 3. Because the oil has a certain viscosity, the valve piece generates adsorption effect in the moment of returning from the opened valve and leaving the support pad. At this time, the oil will reduce the damping between the support pad 3 and the valve piece under the action of the U-shaped groove 7011, reduce the abrupt feeling of the vehicle driving and riding, solve the mirror adsorption effect of oil flow, make the valve piece more smooth in the moment of returning from deformation, eliminate the abrupt feeling of valve system movement, and improve the comfort.

[0030] In the embodiment: by blocking and stacking the support pads 3 together, the top end of the center ring 7021 installed in the inner side of the support pad 3 contacts the bottom end of another center ring 7021. The first limiting groove 7022 formed in the top end of one center ring 7021 is butt jointed with the butt joint rod 7024 connected to the bottom end of another center ring 7021. When the plurality of support pads 3 are stacked together, the support pad 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston plate 2. At this time, the piston plate 2 is sleeved on the inner side of the center ring 7021. The moving block 7023 installed in the inner side of the center ring 7021 is forced to move to the inside of the first limiting groove 7022. Because the butt joint rod 7024 is located in the inside of the first limiting groove 7022 at this time, the moving block 7023 moves to the second limiting groove 7025 formed in the outer wall of the butt joint rod 7024. Until the one end of the moving block 7023 is completely overlapped with the inner side of the center ring 7021, and the other end of the moving block 7023 also contacts the inside of the second limiting groove 7025, the connection of each support pad 3 is automatically completed, and the stability between each support pad 3 is further improved.

[0031] Please refer to Figs. 2-5The direction of the butt joint rod 7024 is the same as that of the moving block 7023, the outer wall of the moving block 7023 is matched with the outer wall of the butt joint rod 7024, the outer wall of one end of the moving block 7023 is in a beveled state, the inner wall of the first limiting groove 7022 is provided with a sliding groove matched with the moving track of the protruding part 7026, the butt joint rod 7024 and the first limiting groove 7022 are on the same vertical plane, the outer wall of the butt joint rod 7024 is matched with the inner wall of the first limiting groove 7022, the number of the first limiting groove 7022 and the butt joint rod 7024 is multiple, the multiple first limiting grooves 7022 and butt joint rods 7024 are evenly distributed on the center ring 7021, the number of the U-shaped groove 7011 is multiple, the multiple U-shaped grooves 7011 are evenly distributed on the top end and the bottom end of the support pad 3, the inner side of the center ring 7021 is matched with the position where the support pad 3 is in contact, the number of the support pad 3 is multiple, the multiple support pads 3 are in a stacked state and are distributed up and down, the bottom end of the support pad 3 is coincided with the upper end opening of the second cavity 6, the top end of the gasket 4 is coincided with the lower end opening of the first cavity 5, the valve plate is installed at the position where the piston plate 2 is in contact with the bottom end of the support pad 3, the top end and the bottom end of the piston plate 2 are both provided with a bolt, the bottom ends of the two bolts are respectively in contact with the top end and the bottom end of the support pad 3 and the gasket 4, the outer wall of the support pad 3 is in a trumpet shape, and the larger opening of the support pad 3 is in contact with the top end bolt.

[0032] In the embodiment, the support pad 3 is blocked and stacked together, the top end of the center ring 7021 mounted inside the support pad 3 is in contact with the bottom end of another center ring 7021, the first limiting groove 7022 opened at the top end of one center ring 7021 is in butt joint with the butt joint rod 7024 connected at the bottom end of another center ring 7021, and the pre-connection is completed. After the plurality of support pads 3 are stacked together one by one, the support pad 3 is sleeved on the outer wall of the piston plate 2, at this time the piston plate 2 is sleeved on the inside of the center ring 7021, and then the moving block 7023 mounted inside the center ring 7021 is forced to move to the inside of the first limiting groove 7022. Since the butt joint rod 7024 is located inside the first limiting groove 7022 at this time, the moving block 7023 moves to the second limiting groove 7025 opened on the outer wall of the butt joint rod 7024, until the one end of the moving block 7023 is completely coincided with the inside of the center ring 7021, and the other end of the moving block 7023 is also in contact with the inside of the second limiting groove 7025, thereby automatically connecting each support pad 3, further improving the stability between each support pad 3. When the valve plate on the support pad 3 is opened, the oil enters the second cavity 6 or the first cavity 5 during the movement of the piston plate 2 along the inside of the shock absorber shell 1, giving the valve plate a pressing force, so that the valve plate deforms and contacts the support pad 3. Since the oil has a certain viscosity, the valve plate after opening will produce adsorption effect in the instant of returning away from the support pad, at this time the oil will reduce the damping between the support pad 3 and the valve plate under the action of the U-shaped groove 7011, reduce the abrupt feeling of the driver and passenger, solve the mirror adsorption effect of oil flow, make the valve plate more smooth in the instant of returning after deformation, eliminate the abrupt feeling of valve system movement, improve the comfort, and the plurality of support pads 3 can be automatically connected during sleeving with the piston plate 2 under the action of the first limiting groove 7022, the butt joint rod 7024 and the moving block 7023.
