[0074] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0075] The present invention provides an integrated torsion damping shock absorber, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 shown, including a driven disk 1, a damping disk 7 firmly connected to the driven disk 1, a disk hub 3 arranged between the driven disk 1 and the damping disk 7, a spring assembly 100, and a rubber assembly 200. The driven disk 1 has a first connection structure 13 for connecting to the engine crankshaft. The first connection structure 13 preferably adopts a connection hole, and the engine crankshaft can be connected to the driven disk 1 through a flange for transmission. The disk hub 3 has a third connection structure for connecting to the transmission input shaft. The third connection structure is preferably a disk hub connection hole 34, and the disk hub connection hole 34 connects to the transmission input shaft to achieve the transmission function.

[0076] The disk hub 3 is provided with two symmetrically arranged first notches 31 and two symmetrically arranged second notches 32 along the circumferential direction. The driven disk 1 and the damping disk 7 are respectively provided with first accommodation holes 11 and third accommodation holes 71 that are arranged opposite to the first notches 31. The driven disk 1 and the damping disk 7 are respectively provided with second accommodation holes 12 and fourth accommodation holes 72 that are arranged opposite to the second notches 32. The first accommodation hole 11, the first notch 31, and the third accommodation hole 71 together form a first accommodation space, and the spring assembly 100 is arranged in the first accommodation space. The second accommodation hole 12, the second notch 32, and the fourth accommodation hole 72 together form a second accommodation space, and the rubber assembly 200 is arranged in the second accommodation space. When the engine crankshaft drives the driven disk 1 to rotate, it can drive the disk hub 3 to drive the transmission input shaft to rotate under the elastic drive of the spring assembly 100 and the rubber assembly 200.

[0077] It should be noted that the sizes of the first accommodation hole 11 and the third accommodation hole 71 are both smaller than the size of the spring assembly 100, so that the first accommodation hole 11 and the third accommodation hole 71 can both limit the spring assembly 100 inside the first accommodation space. The sizes of the second accommodation hole 12 and the fourth accommodation hole 72 are both smaller than the size of the rubber assembly 200, so that the second accommodation hole 12 and the fourth accommodation hole 72 can both limit the rubber assembly 200 inside the first accommodation space, increasing the stability of the integrated torsion damping shock absorber structure.

[0078] Specifically, the outer side surface of the driven plate 1 is preferably in a stepped structure. In a variant, the outer side surface of the driven plate 1 has a smoothly transitioning structure. The structure of the outer side surface of the driven plate 1 can be considered comprehensively from aspects such as inertia, volume, and the overall shape after assembling various internal components to meet the requirements of product quality and mold manufacturing cost.

[0079] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, the spring assembly 100 includes a first spring 101 and spring bases 102 respectively arranged at both ends of the first spring 101. The rubber assembly 200 includes a rubber tube 201 and rubber bases 202 respectively arranged at both ends of the rubber tube 201. Among them, the spring base 102 includes a first body 1021, a first limiting plate 1022 arranged at the end of the first body 1021 and extending inward, a first limiting shaft 1023 arranged at the center of the first body 1021 and protruding inward, a clamping platform 1024 arranged in the middle of the first body 1021 and protruding outward, and two limiting ribs 1025 spaced apart on the clamping platform 1024. A clamping groove 35 matching the clamping platform 1024 is provided on the disc hub 3, and the clamping grooves 35 are respectively arranged on both sides of the first notch 31. When the spring base 102 is connected to the disc hub 3 by clamping the clamping platform 1024 into the clamping groove 35, the two limiting ribs 1025 extend to both sides of the disc hub 3 to limit the movement of the spring base 102 in the axial direction of the shock absorber. The first limiting shafts 1023 of the two spring bases 102 are respectively inserted into the interiors of both ends of the first spring 101 to limit the movement of the first spring 101 in the radial direction. Since there is preferably a gap between the first limiting shaft 1023 and the central hole of the first spring 101, the displacement of the first spring 101 in the radial direction due to crosstalk is limited by the first limiting plate 1022, greatly increasing the stability of the first spring 101. 201

[0080] Furthermore, the rubber base 202 is configured to have a second body 2021, second limiting plates 2022 arranged at both ends of the second body 2021 and extending inward, and a second limiting shaft 2023 arranged at the center of the second body 2021 and protruding inward. The end of the second limiting shaft 2023 protrudes into the interior of the rubber tube 201 to limit the radial movement of the rubber tube 201. At the same time, the two second limiting plates 2022 can also limit the rubber tube 201 in the radial direction, increasing the stability of the rubber tube 201 in the radial direction.

[0081] It should be noted that the rubber base 202 can be made of a metal material to make it have a certain rigidity. The rubber tube 201 has a certain vibration absorption effect and cannot be compressed after being compressed to a certain extent, and also plays a certain limiting role in the vibration damping direction of the shock absorber.

[0082] To increase the elastic damping of the entire shock absorber, in a specific embodiment, the spring assembly 100 further includes a second spring 103. The first spring 101 is sleeved outside the second spring 103. The first spring 101 and the second spring 103 are jointly arranged between two spring bases 102, so that the entire spring assembly 100 has greater elastic damping.

[0083] A first shock-absorbing bushing 2 and a second shock-absorbing bushing 5 are provided between the driven disk 1 and the shock-absorbing disk 7, and the first shock-absorbing bushing 2 and the second shock-absorbing bushing 5 are respectively arranged on both sides of the disk hub 3. The arrangement of the two shock-absorbing bushings makes the relative movement between the disk hub 3 and the driven disk 1 and the shock-absorbing disk 7 have a sense of damping, increasing the shock-absorbing effect of the entire shock absorber.

[0084] To reduce the increased wear due to relative movement, a shock-absorbing friction plate 4 is provided between the disk hub 3 and the second shock-absorbing bushing 5. By providing the shock-absorbing friction plate 4, other components are protected by wearing down the shock-absorbing friction plate 4 when relative rotation occurs, extending the service life of the entire shock absorber. In actual application, a clamping boss 41 extends radially along the circumferential edge of the shock-absorbing friction plate 4. The disk hub 3 has a clamping groove 33 that matches the clamping boss 41 along the circumference. The clamping boss 41 is preferably 4 arranged along the circumference of the shock-absorbing friction plate 4. The shock-absorbing friction plate 4 is connected to the disk hub 3 by the clamping boss 41 being clamped into the clamping groove 33, further increasing the stability and precision of the entire shock absorber.

[0085] To increase the damping effect of the entire shock absorber, the fitting degree between the axially arranged components such as the first shock-absorbing bushing 2, the disk hub 3, the shock-absorbing friction plate 4, and the second shock-absorbing bushing 5 is made as much as possible, increasing the rotational damping and reducing the axial vibration. A disc spring 6 is provided between the second shock-absorbing bushing 5 and the shock-absorbing disk 7.

[0086] The driven disk 1 and the shock-absorbing disk 7 are respectively connected together through a driven disk connection edge 15 and a shock-absorbing disk connection edge 73. The driven disk connection edge 15 and the shock-absorbing disk connection edge 73 both have corresponding connection holes, and the driven disk connection edge 15 and the shock-absorbing disk connection edge 73 can be firmly connected together through screws. Among them, the driven disk connection edge 15 is a continuous or discontinuous arc-shaped edge arranged along the circumference of the driven disk 1, and the shock-absorbing disk connection edge 73 is a continuous or discontinuous arc-shaped edge arranged along the circumference of the shock-absorbing disk 7.

[0087] It should be noted that the driven disk 1 has a second connection structure 14 for connecting the mass ring, such as Figure 3 shown. The second connection structure 14 is preferably a connection through hole. Different weight and shape mass rings can be fixed to the driven disk 1 through the connection through hole, and thus the inertia of the entire vibrator can be changed.

[0088] In practical applications, the driven plate 1 is a stamping or casting part processed by a mold, and the material is not limited to metal plates and cast iron. The hub 3 and the damping plate 7 are preferably made of cast iron parts produced by a mold. Compared with the existing plate processing method, the production cost is greatly reduced.

[0089] In the integrated torque reduction and vibration damping device of the present invention, the driven plate 1, the damping plate 7 and the hub 3 are elastically matched only through two groups of spring assemblies 100 and two groups of rubber assemblies 200. Compared with the prior art in which a limit post 8 is arranged between the driven plate 1, the damping plate 7 and the hub 3, as Figure 10 shown, so that in the prior art, when bearing an external torque, it is rigidly limited after reaching a certain torsional angle, as Figure 8 , Figure 9 are respectively schematic diagrams of the torsional characteristic curves of the present invention and the prior art. It can be seen from Figure 8 that the shock absorber in the present invention still has buffering ability after the torsional angle reaches 23°, reflecting the better shock absorption effect of the coupling of the shock absorption function and the semi-torque limiting function of the present invention. In the prior art, when the torsional angle reaches 23°, it is rigidly limited by the limit post 8, as Figure 9 shown.

[0090] The present invention also provides a vehicle that adopts the integrated torque reduction and vibration damping device of the present invention. By adopting the integrated torque reduction and vibration damping device of the present invention, on the one hand, the engine crankshaft and the driven plate 1 can be directly connected, omitting components such as the flywheel, and the structure is simpler. On the other hand, through the overall structural design of each component inside the integrated torque reduction and vibration damping device, the matching degree between each part inside the entire integrated torque reduction and vibration damping device is high. While exerting high-performance shock absorption performance, the compactness of the structure is maximally ensured, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the product.

[0092] The specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above. It should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the above specific embodiments, and those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications within the scope of the claims, which do not affect the essence of the present invention.
