Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of shock absorbers, and in particular to a double-solenoid valve adjustable shock absorber and a motor vehicle. Background Art
[0002] Generally speaking, a shock absorber is a device or part used in vehicles (such as cars and trains) to absorb and cushion the vibration or impact caused by uneven road surfaces during the driving process of the vehicle. The shock absorber is generally composed of a piston rod for compression or recovery and a valve for damping.
[0003] Early shock absorbers only had one adjustment curve and could only adapt to a single road condition. With the continuous development of technology, shock absorbers with a single solenoid valve have emerged, which can meet the needs of multiple road conditions to a certain extent. Since the compression recovery damping adjustment response time of a single solenoid valve is relatively long, a dual solenoid valve shock absorber came into being. This type of shock absorber can not only adapt to multiple road conditions, but also realize independent adjustment of compression recovery, while also reducing the adjustment response time of compression recovery damping.
[0004] Patent CN107850165B discloses a vibration damper for motor vehicles. Although it realizes the decoupling adjustment of recovery and compression in principle, the long axial dimension of the outer tube is not conducive to the assembly of parts outside the outer tube of the damper, and three isolation devices need to be installed on the inner tube of the damper, namely, the isolation sealing device, the bottom valve sealing device, and the air chamber piston, all of which are installed in one tube, which makes the assembly difficult. At the same time, there is a high adjustment difficulty in damping adjustment. For example, the lower limit of compression damping is difficult to reduce, the compression direction solenoid valve adjustment bandwidth is small, and the recovery stroke is prone to empty travel.
[0005] Another example is the variable damping force buffer disclosed in patent KR102338556B1. Although this solution can also achieve independent adjustment of compression recovery damping, it is difficult to process and assemble parts, which easily leads to high product defect rate and low productivity. In addition, the two solenoid valves in this solution are arranged vertically and side by side on the base shell, which takes up a huge radial space and is not conducive to the layout and design of the vehicle chassis. Summary of the invention
[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a dual solenoid valve adjustable shock absorber and a motor vehicle in view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the shock absorber using dual valve control technology in the prior art, which can realize independent decoupling adjustment of compression and recovery, greatly reducing the difficulty of adjustment, and at the same time can reduce the difficulty of parts processing and assembly.

[0068] Example 1
[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 to 10 , Fig.12 , a dual solenoid valve adjustable shock absorber provided in an embodiment of the present application includes:
[0070] A damping tube, the interior of which is filled with a damping liquid;
[0071] A piston rod 2, which is arranged in the damping tube and moves telescopically in the axial direction;
[0072] A working piston 21 is disposed on the piston rod 2 and divides the interior of the damping tube into a first working chamber 14 and a second working chamber 15;
[0073] The storage chamber 8 is connected to the second working chamber 15;
[0074] A double-valve mounting base 3, one side of which is connected to an end of the damping tube away from the extending direction of the piston rod 2, and a first solenoid valve 41 and a second solenoid valve 42 are arranged on the double-valve mounting base 3;
[0075] Among them, the first solenoid valve 41 is configured to adjust the damping force of the damping fluid from the first working chamber 14 to the second working chamber 15 when the piston rod 2 is extended, and the second solenoid valve 42 is configured to adjust the damping force of the damping fluid from the second working chamber 15 to the storage chamber 8 when the piston rod 2 is retracted.
[0076] According to some embodiments of the present application, the inlet of the first solenoid valve 41 is connected to the first working chamber 14, and the outlet of the first solenoid valve 41 is connected to the second working chamber 15; the inlet of the second solenoid valve 42 is connected to the second working chamber 15, and the outlet of the second solenoid valve 42 is connected to the storage chamber 8.
[0077] The present application arranges a solenoid valve on the compression path and the recovery path respectively, so that when one of the paths is controlled, the adjustment of the solenoid valve on the path will not affect the damping force value of the other flow path, thereby realizing independent decoupling adjustment of the compression stroke and the recovery stroke.
[0078] Since the outlet of the second solenoid valve 42 on the compression path is directly connected to the storage chamber 8, when adjusting the lower limit of the compression damping, the damping under the low current and high speed state can be easily reduced, which greatly reduces the difficulty of adjustment.
[0079] According to some embodiments of the present application, the damping tube includes:
[0080] The working cylinder 11, the middle cylinder 12 and the outer tube 13 are sequentially sleeved from the inside to the outside, and radial gaps are formed between the working cylinder 11, the middle cylinder 12 and the outer tube 13. A connecting hole 111 is formed in the first working chamber 14 of the working cylinder 11. The connecting hole 111 is located on the wall of the working cylinder 11 near the extended end of the piston rod 2 to connect the inner and outer sides of the working cylinder 11.
[0081] The working piston 21 is cooperatively arranged in the working cylinder 11, and the side of the working piston 21 facing away from the dual-valve mounting base 3 and the radial gap between the working cylinder 11 and the intermediate cylinder 12 together form the first working chamber 14, the side of the working piston 21 facing the dual-valve mounting base 3 forms the second working chamber 15, and the radial gap between the intermediate cylinder 12 and the outer tube 13 forms the storage chamber 8.
[0082] In the present application, by arranging the middle cylinder 12 in the shock absorber, the difficulty of manufacturing and assembling the shock absorber is greatly reduced compared with the double-valve controlled shock absorber in the prior art, which is conducive to improving the product yield and efficiency.
[0083] According to some embodiments of the present application, the dual-valve mounting base 3 is provided with a first mounting hole 36 and a second mounting hole 37 for accommodating the first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 , and the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole 37 are separated from each other.
[0084] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first solenoid valve 41 is installed in the first installation hole 36, and is formed with a chamber A31 and a first solenoid valve discharge chamber 32, wherein the chamber A31 is located at the inlet end of the first solenoid valve 41, and the first solenoid valve discharge chamber 32 is located at the outlet end of the first solenoid valve 41;
[0085] The second solenoid valve 42 is installed in the second installation hole 37 and forms a chamber B33 and a second solenoid valve discharge chamber 34 . The chamber B33 is located at the inlet end of the second solenoid valve 42 , and the second solenoid valve discharge chamber 34 is located at the outlet end of the second solenoid valve 42 .
[0086] The axes of the first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 are parallel and horizontally arranged, and the axes of the first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 are perpendicular to the axis of the shock absorber. The first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 are inserted into the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole 37 on the dual-valve mounting base 3, which can reduce the radial space occupied by the shock absorber, and the overall structural layout of the shock absorber is more compact, which is conducive to the installation and arrangement of the shock absorber on the whole vehicle.
[0087] Specifically, the bottom of the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole 37 has a groove. After the first solenoid valve 41 and the second solenoid valve 42 are inserted into the first mounting hole 36 and the second mounting hole 37, the inlet end face of the first solenoid valve 41 forms a planar seal with the bottom wall of the first mounting hole 36 through the sealing ring 53, the groove area forms a chamber A31, and the bottom of the first mounting hole 36 forms a first solenoid valve discharge chamber 32. The inlet end face of the second solenoid valve 42 forms a planar seal with the bottom wall of the second mounting hole 37 through the sealing ring 53, the groove area forms a chamber B33, and the bottom of the second mounting hole 37 forms a second solenoid valve discharge chamber 34.

[0089] According to some embodiments of the present application, a liquid storage channel 35 is also provided on the dual-valve mounting base 3, the liquid storage channel inlet 351 is communicated with the second working chamber 15, the liquid storage channel outlet 352 is communicated with the storage chamber 8, and the liquid storage channel inlet 351 and the liquid storage channel outlet 352 are both located on the side facing the piston rod 2.
[0090] According to some embodiments of the present application, a piston valve group is provided on the working piston 21, and the piston valve group includes a return passive valve 211 and a compression second passive valve 212, the return passive valve 211 is used to open in the return stroke to allow the damping liquid in the first working chamber 14 to flow to the second working chamber 15, and the compression second passive valve 212 is used to open in the compression stroke to allow the damping liquid in the second working chamber 15 to flow to the first working chamber 14. It should be noted that the structural principles of the return passive valve 211 and the compression second passive valve 212 are conventional technologies and will not be repeated here.
[0091] According to some embodiments of the present application, a bottom valve assembly is provided at one end of the working cylinder 11 connected to the dual-valve mounting base 3, and the bottom valve assembly includes a bottom valve seat 71, a first compression passive valve 72, and a recovery compensation valve 73. The first compression passive valve 72 is used to open in the compression stroke to allow the damping liquid in the second working chamber 15 to flow to the storage chamber 8 through the storage channel 35, and the recovery compensation valve 73 is used to open in the recovery stroke to allow the damping liquid in the storage chamber 8 to flow to the second working chamber 15 through the storage channel 35. It should be noted that the structural principles of the first compression passive valve 72 and the recovery compensation valve 73 are conventional technologies and will not be repeated here.
[0092] According to some embodiments of the present application, the bottom valve seat 71 is embedded in the double valve mounting base 3, and a second working chamber annular groove 711 is provided on one end of the bottom valve seat 71 connected to the double valve mounting base 3, and the second working chamber annular groove 711 is connected to the first solenoid valve discharge chamber outlet 321 and the chamber B inlet 331, and a second working chamber leakage hole 712 is provided at the other end of the bottom valve seat 71, and the second working chamber leakage hole 712 is connected to the second working chamber annular groove 711 and the second working chamber 15.
[0093] According to some embodiments of the present application, the dual-valve mounting base 3 is provided with a first one-way valve 51 and a second one-way valve 52, wherein the first one-way valve 51 is connected in series to the inlet end of the first solenoid valve 41, and the second one-way valve 52 is connected in series to the inlet end of the second solenoid valve 42. Fig.13 As shown, the inlet of the first one-way valve 51 is connected to the chamber A31, so that the damping liquid in the chamber A31 flows unidirectionally toward the inlet of the first solenoid valve 41. The inlet of the second one-way valve 52 is connected to the chamber B33, so that the damping liquid in the chamber B33 flows unidirectionally toward the inlet of the second solenoid valve 42.
[0094] In the above scheme, a one-way valve assembly is placed in series at the front end of each of the two solenoid valves. Because the solenoid valve is not completely closed when it is powered off or not working, the damping medium inside the shock absorber will flow back to a certain extent. Although it does not affect the function of the shock absorber, it will have a certain impact on the performance. The arrangement of the one-way valve assembly can reduce or avoid the backflow of the damping liquid in the recovery stroke or compression stroke, and improve the stability of the normal use of the solenoid valve.
[0095] It should be noted that the first one-way valve 51 and the second one-way valve 52 may adopt any structure in the prior art as long as the one-way flow of the damping liquid can be achieved, and the specific structure is not limited here.
[0096] In this embodiment, the working piston 21 divides the interior of the working cylinder 11 into a first working chamber 14 and a second working chamber 15, and at the same time, the second working chamber leakage hole 712, the second working chamber annular groove 711, the chamber B inlet 331, and the chamber B33 are connected to the second working chamber 15 (line 1); the chamber A inlet 311 and the chamber A31 are connected to the first working chamber 14 (line 2); the second solenoid valve discharge chamber 34 and the second solenoid valve discharge chamber outlet 341 are connected to the storage chamber 8 (line 3); the first solenoid valve discharge chamber 32, the first solenoid valve discharge chamber outlet 321, the second working chamber annular groove 711, and the second working chamber leakage hole 712 are connected to the second working chamber 15 (line 4); the liquid storage channel inlet 351, the liquid storage channel 35, and the liquid storage channel outlet 352 are connected to the storage chamber 8 (line 5).
[0097] In the present embodiment, the oil flow path during the restoration process is as follows: the first oil path flows from the first working chamber 14 through line 2, the first solenoid valve inlet 411 (adjusted by the solenoid valve), the first solenoid valve outlet 412, line 4, and the second working chamber 15; the second oil path flows from the first working chamber 14 through the restoration passive valve 211 back to the second working chamber 15; the third oil path flows from the storage chamber 8 through the liquid storage channel 35 and the restoration compensation valve 73 into the second working chamber 15 to compensate for the volume change of the piston rod 2 when it is pulled out.
