Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile vibration reduction, in particular to a variable flexible piston used in a vehicle shock absorber. Background Art
[0002] In order to quickly attenuate the vibration of the frame and body and improve the smoothness and comfort of the car's driving, shock absorbers are generally installed on the car's suspension system. In the structure of the car shock absorber, it is generally a piston structure, and its piston body divides the inside of the shock absorber into different cavities. The volume of the cavity is changed by the movement of the piston, so that the oil in different cavities is exchanged. The oil consumes energy during the flow process, thereby achieving the effect of vibration reduction.
[0003] In the existing shock absorber structure, since the piston body is required to separate the shock absorber into different cavities, the piston body is generally a rigid structure and needs to contact the inner wall of the cylinder. In this way, the piston body will repeatedly rub against the inner wall of the cylinder during movement, and the heat generated by the friction will cause damage to the shock absorber.
[0004] A flexible piston shock absorber for a vehicle is proposed in the Chinese patent publication number CN113969952A. After studying the prior art and the above patent, the present invention proposes a variable flexible piston for a vehicle shock absorber. Summary of the invention
[0005] Technical issues solved
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a variable flexible piston used in a vehicle shock absorber.
[0007] Technical Solution
[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a variable flexible piston used in a vehicle shock absorber, the piston comprising a fixed plate fixed to one end of a piston rod, a fixed rod fixedly connected to one side of the fixed plate, a movable sleeve sleeved on the fixed rod, a movable plate fixedly connected to one side of the movable sleeve, an intermediate movable plate sleeved on the fixed rod and the movable sleeve, a flexible membrane is arranged on the outside of the fixed plate, the movable plate and the intermediate movable plate, and a spring is arranged between the fixed plate, the movable plate and the intermediate movable plate.
[0009] The piston is applied to a vehicle shock absorber, which comprises a piston cylinder, a piston rod is arranged inside the piston cylinder, and the fixing plate is fixedly mounted on the piston rod by bolts.
[0010] When the vehicle passes over a raised condition, the two piston rods arranged up and down in the piston cylinder approach each other, causing the flexible membrane to stretch and increase in volume, resulting in energy consumption and a vibration reduction effect. When the vehicle passes over a sunken condition, the two piston rods arranged up and down in the piston cylinder move away from each other and shrink, resulting in energy consumption and a vibration reduction effect. During the movement of the piston, the volume of the flexible membrane changes with the movement of the piston rod, reducing the direct contact between the piston assembly and the cylinder body, thereby reducing the heat generated during the movement of the piston assembly, reducing damage to the piston assembly, and increasing the life of the shock absorber.
[0011] Preferably, there are gaps between the fixed plate, the movable plate and the middle movable plate, and the spring is arranged between the gaps.
[0012] Preferably, one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the middle movable plate, and the other end of the spring is fixed to the fixed plate, the movable plate or the middle movable plate.
[0013] Preferably, the cross section of the fixing rod is rectangular, the interior of the movable sleeve is provided with a rectangular hole adapted to the fixing rod, and the fixing rod is inserted into the rectangular hole.

[0015] Preferably, there are multiple springs.
[0016] Beneficial effects:
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the variable flexible piston used in the vehicle shock absorber has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The flexible piston of the present invention has two piston rods arranged up and down in the piston cylinder approaching each other when the vehicle passes through a raised condition, thereby causing the flexible membrane to stretch and increase in volume, resulting in energy consumption and achieving a vibration reduction effect. When the vehicle passes through a sunken condition, the two piston rods arranged up and down in the piston cylinder move away from each other and shrink, thereby reducing in volume and achieving energy consumption and achieving a vibration reduction effect. During the movement of the piston, the volume of the flexible membrane changes with the movement of the piston rod, thereby reducing the direct contact between the piston assembly and the cylinder body, thereby reducing the heat generated during the movement of the piston assembly, reducing damage to the piston assembly, and increasing the life of the shock absorber.

A spring 308 is arranged between the movable plate 304 and the middle movable plate 305. When the vehicle passes through a raised condition, the two piston rods 2 arranged up and down in the piston cylinder 1 approach each other, thereby causing the flexible membrane 309 to stretch and increase in volume, resulting in energy consumption and a shock absorbing effect. When the vehicle passes through a sunken condition, the two piston rods 2 arranged up and down in the piston cylinder 1 move away from each other and shrink, resulting in energy consumption and a shock absorbing effect. During the movement of the piston, the flexible membrane 15 changes with the movement of the piston rod, reducing the direct contact between the piston assembly and the cylinder body, thereby reducing the heat generated during the movement of the piston assembly, reducing damage to the piston assembly, and increasing the life of the shock absorber.
[0026] Please pay attention to Figure 2 There is a gap 307 between the fixed plate 301, the movable plate 304 and the middle movable plate 305, and the spring 308 is arranged between the gap 307. There are multiple springs 308, one end of the spring 308 is fixedly connected to the middle movable plate 305, and the other end of the spring 308 is fixed on the fixed plate 301, the movable plate 304 or the middle movable plate 305.
