Their main function is to install and support the shock absorbers, while also bearing and dispersing vibrations and impacts from vehicle operation. However, existing shock absorbers have some problems, resulting in poor damping performance and affecting ride comfort. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automotive shock absorber tie rod bracket for absorbing impact loads, which can solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0004] According to the technical solution provided by the present invention: a car shock absorber tie rod bracket for absorbing impact loads includes an upper mounting lug and a lower mounting lug. The lower end of the upper mounting lug is provided with an upper mounting plate, and the upper end of the lower mounting lug is provided with a lower mounting plate. A pair of damping units are provided between the upper mounting plate and the lower mounting plate. A motor is installed at the upper end of the lower mounting plate between the two damping units. A screw is rotatably provided at the lower end of the upper mounting plate. The lower end of the screw is connected to the motor through a connecting shaft. A limiting plate is provided on the outside of the screw through a connecting cap. A circular hole is provided on the limiting plate for the damping units to pass through.

[0005] Preferably, the connecting shaft has a hollow structure, and an annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the connecting shaft.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-5 As shown, the present invention is a car shock absorber tie rod bracket for absorbing impact loads, including an upper mounting lug 1 and a lower mounting lug 11. The lower end of the upper mounting lug 1 is provided with an upper mounting plate 2, and the upper end of the lower mounting lug 11 is provided with a lower mounting plate 21. A pair of damping units are provided between the upper mounting plate 2 and the lower mounting plate 21. A motor 3 is installed on the upper end of the lower mounting plate 21 between the two damping units. A screw 32 is rotatably provided on the lower end of the upper mounting plate 2. The lower end of the screw 32 is connected to the motor 3 through a connecting shaft 31. A limiting plate 34 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 32 through a connecting cap 33. A circular hole is opened on the limiting plate 34 for the damping units to pass through. During operation, the upper mounting lug 1 and lower mounting lug 11 are sequentially installed on the car's bracket. A pair of damping units will then act as shock absorbers for the car. When it is necessary to adjust the damping of the third spring 4 in the damping unit, the motor 3 is started. The rotation of the motor 3 drives the connecting shaft 31 and the screw 32 to rotate synchronously, which in turn causes the limiting plate 34 to move downwards through the connecting cap 33, thereby compressing the third spring 4. By adjusting the spring's damping, the movement of the suspension system can be better controlled during vehicle operation. Appropriate damping can provide more stable suspension performance, reduce vehicle swaying and bumps during driving, and improve vehicle stability and handling. Adjusting the spring damping reduces vehicle suspension... The suspension system transmits vibrations and shocks to the cabin, improving ride comfort, reducing the driver's and passengers' perception of bumpy roads, and decreasing fatigue and discomfort. By adjusting the spring damping, the stiffness and response speed of the suspension system can be adjusted according to different road conditions. For example, on smooth highways, softer damping can be used to improve comfort, while on rough mountain roads, stiffer damping can be used to provide better suspension support. Adjusting the spring damping also improves vehicle stability. By increasing damping, body roll and suspension sway can be reduced when the vehicle is cornering and making sharp turns, improving vehicle handling and safety.

[0022] Preferably, the connecting shaft 31 has a hollow structure, and an annular groove 36 is formed on the inner wall of the connecting shaft 31. A sliding plate 37 is slidably disposed in the groove 36. A connecting rod 39 is provided at the upper end of the sliding plate 37, and the upper end of the connecting rod 39 is connected to the screw 32. The lower end of the sliding plate 37 is connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the connecting shaft 31 by a second spring 38. When the vehicle is in motion and encounters a slope that compresses the third spring 4, the screw 32 and the connecting rod 39 drive the sliding plate 37 to reciprocate within the groove 36, thereby buffering the screw 32, the connecting rod 39 and the motor 3, protecting the motor 3 and improving the service life of the motor 3.

[0023] When a vehicle encounters a slope or uneven road surface while driving, it will generate impact and compression force on the vehicle's damping unit. In this case, the third spring 4 bears a large pressure. In order to protect the motor 3 and improve its service life, a buffer system is designed. This system consists of a screw 32, a connecting rod 39 and a sliding plate 37, and is placed in a sliding groove 36, which can generate buffer impact between the screw 32 and the connecting rod 39 and the motor 3. Specifically, when the third spring 4 is compressed by an external force, the screw 32 and the connecting rod 39 will be under pressure and drive the slide plate 37 to reciprocate within the slide groove 36. In this way, the impact and compression force of the vehicle will be transmitted to the buffer system through the friction between the slide plate 37 and the slide groove 36 and the connection between the screw 32 and the connecting rod 39. This can absorb and disperse these pressures, reduce the impact on the motor 3, and thus protect the motor 3. Meanwhile, the second spring 38 will drive the slide plate 37 to quickly return to its original position. Through this buffer system, the service life of motor 3 is improved. It can effectively absorb and reduce the impact and vibration of the vehicle during driving, avoid excessive impact being directly transmitted to motor 3, reduce damage and wear of motor 3, enable motor 3 to work more stably and reliably, and extend its service life.

[0024] Preferably, two sets of first springs 35 are provided between the limiting plate 34 and the upper mounting plate 2. Each set of first springs 35 is distributed in a ring on the outside of the damping unit to improve the shock absorption effect of the vehicle and improve the comfort of the vehicle during driving.

[0025] In this embodiment: the damping unit includes a third spring 4, a bushing 5, and a damping shaft 6. A pair of bushings 5 ​​are mounted on the upper mounting plate 2. The lower end of the bushing 5 passes through a round hole and is connected to the lower mounting plate 21 through the damping shaft 6. A third spring 4 is provided between the lower mounting plate 21 and the limiting plate 34. The third spring 4 surrounds the outer side of the bushing 5 and the damping shaft 6. A damping assembly is provided between the inside of the bushing 5 and the upper end of the damping shaft 6. In the damping unit, a pair of bushings 5 ​​are installed on the upper mounting plate 2. The bushings 5 ​​are installed on the upper mounting plate 2 and serve to fix and support. The lower end of the bushing 5 protrudes through a round hole and is connected to the lower mounting plate 21 through the shock absorber shaft 6. The shock absorber shaft 6 is a slender shaft that can withstand and transmit the force and impact generated by the shock absorption system. The connection between the shock absorber shaft 6 and the bushing 5 enables the entire shock absorber bracket to work in a coordinated manner to reduce and stabilize the vibration and impact of the vehicle during driving.

[0026] A third spring 4 is provided between the lower mounting plate 21 and the limiting plate 34. The third spring 4 surrounds the outer side of the bushing 5 and the shock absorber shaft 6. The function of the spring 4 is to provide additional cushioning and shock absorption. When the vehicle encounters uneven road surfaces or impacts during driving, the third spring 4 can absorb and disperse these forces, thereby reducing the vibration and impact of the vehicle suspension system.

[0027] A shock-absorbing component is provided between the inside of the bushing 5 and the upper end of the shock-absorbing shaft 6. The function of the shock-absorbing component is to further reduce the vibration and impact during vehicle operation and provide better shock absorption effect.

[0028] The shock absorption assembly includes a mounting block 7, a spring plate 71, a connecting block 72, a fixing rod 73, and a U-shaped frame 74. These components together constitute a complete shock absorption assembly, the specific structure of which is as follows: In the shock absorption assembly, the upper outer wall of the bushing 5 is provided with two sets of mounting blocks 7 distributed vertically. These mounting blocks 7 are used to connect the shock absorption system with other components of the vehicle. Spring plates 71 are provided between the two upper mounting blocks 7 and between the two lower mounting blocks 7. The function of the spring plates 71 is to support and maintain the position of the spring. The spring plates 71 have sufficient rigidity and strength to withstand the impact and vibration during vehicle operation. At the same time, the spring plates 71 can also provide a certain degree of elasticity, thereby reducing the bumpy feeling when the vehicle is driving.

[0029] A connecting block 72 is provided in the middle of the spring plate 71. The connecting block 72 serves to connect the spring plate 71 and the fixing rod 73. The connecting block 72 has a certain rigidity and strength to withstand the pressure and force transmitted by the spring plate 71. The fixing rod 73 is provided through the connecting block 72. The function of the fixing rod 73 is to fix and stabilize the position of the connecting block 72. The fixing rod 73 passes through the connecting block 72 and forms a fixed connection with it to ensure the stability and reliability of the connecting block 72 during vehicle operation.

[0030] The two ends of the fixing rod 73 pass through the U-shaped frame 74 and are fixedly connected to it. The U-shaped frame 74 is a key component for connecting the shock absorber shaft 6. Its open end is connected to the shock absorber shaft 6 so that the entire shock absorber assembly can work in coordination with other components of the vehicle. The U-shaped frame 74 has a certain rigidity and strength to withstand the force and impact transmitted by the shock absorber shaft 6.

[0031] It is understood that the above embodiments are merely exemplary implementations used to illustrate the principles of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the spirit and essence of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
