Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile vibration reduction, in particular to a spring and rubber pad bonding process for automobile vibration reduction. Background Art
[0002] In the current design of front and rear shock absorbers of automobiles, rubber pads are conventionally used to protect the connection between the spring and the vehicle body. Since the parts are located in the chassis system of the vehicle, during use, sand, gravel, mud, etc. may enter between the spring and the rubber pad, causing mutual friction between the two, damaging the surface coating of the spring, and even severely damaging the rigid substrate of the spring, causing the spring to be corroded at the contact position, and ultimately causing early breakage of the spring. In addition, due to the gap between the two caused by the corresponding substances, abnormal noises often occur during use.
[0003] When the product is under a small load, room temperature polyurethane two-component glue can be used for bonding and meet the requirements. However, when the working load is large, the corresponding bonding strength does not meet the use requirements. In order to further improve the bonding strength of the product, the spring and the rubber pad will not move relative to each other during use, protect the gap at the contact position, and prevent the entry of sand, gravel, mud, etc., ultimately achieving the purpose of extending the spring life and preventing abnormal noise caused by relative friction. Summary of the invention
[0004] The purpose of the invention is to provide a spring and rubber pad bonding process for automobile vibration reduction, which solves the problem that the spring and rubber pad are easily broken during bonding.
[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: The present invention provides a spring and rubber pad bonding process for automobile vibration reduction, comprising: S1. Design the rubber pad according to the shape of the bottom end of the spring, and there is a spring groove on the rubber pad; S2, apply active agent in the spring groove in advance; S3, then apply hot vulcanized rubber on the activator, and place the bottom end of the spring against the hot vulcanized rubber; S4, compress the spring downwards to make the bottom end of the spring bond with the spring groove; S5. Keep the spring in a compressed state and heat it to 150-200°C; S6, cooling down; S7, release spring.
[0006] Optionally, in S3, the ratio of the activator to the hot-vulcanized rubber is greater than or equal to 1 to 3.
[0007] Optionally, in S4, a jig is used to compress the spring, and the spring is kept in a compressed state, and the spring is compressed downward by 3-5%.
[0008] Optionally, in S5, the bottom end of the spring and the rubber pad are heated in a heating furnace, and after the heating temperature reaches 150-200° C., the temperature is kept for 25-35 minutes.
[0009] Optionally, in S5, induction heating is performed using a medium frequency induction heater to keep the bottom end of the spring and the rubber pad in a temperature range of 150-200° C. for 10-20 seconds.
[0010] Optionally, in S7, the fixture is disassembled, the spring is released, and the spring is reset.
[0011] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the present invention has the following advantages compared with the prior art: The invention discloses a spring and rubber pad bonding process for automobile vibration reduction. Since the activator is coated in the spring groove, that is, the activator is coated on the rubber pad, and then the hot vulcanized adhesive is coated on the activator, the adhesiveness of the hot vulcanized adhesive can be increased, so that the spring and the rubber pad are tightly bonded together. At this time, the spring and the rubber pad can withstand a heavier load, thereby solving the problem that the spring and the rubber pad are easily broken. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0027] The compression assembly 9 includes a vertical rod 91 and a pressure block 92. The vertical rod 91 is set on the base 6. The vertical rod 91 is used to pass through the center of the spring 8. The vertical rod 91 is sleeved in the spring 8. The pressure block 92 is slidably set on the vertical rod 91. The pressure block 92 is used to squeeze the upper end of the spring 8. The pressure block 91 compresses the spring 8 from top to bottom, and the vertical rod 91 has a guiding effect on the pressure block 91.
[0028] The bottom groove 61 is tilted on the base 6 , and the bottom groove 61 is bent and extended on the base 6 . The two ends of the bottom groove 61 are low and the middle is high, so that the rubber pad 1 is also tilted in the bottom groove 61 , and the rubber pad 1 and the bottom groove 61 are interference fit, and the rubber pad 1 and the bottom groove 61 can also be separated.
[0029] The base 6 is provided with a through hole 62 , which is located inside the extension path of the bottom groove 61 , and the bottom groove 61 is arranged around the through hole 62 .

The outer diameter of the pressure block 92 is also larger than or equal to the outer diameter of the spring 8, so that the pressure block 92 can completely cover the spring 8. The inner ring 94 moves with the pressure block 92. When the pressure block 92 is pressed on the top of the spring 8, the outer diameter of the inner ring 94 is smaller than the inner diameter of the spring 8, and the inner ring 94 is located in the spring 8. The inner ring 94 has a limiting effect. If the spring 8 is offset, the inner ring 94 can prevent the spring 8 from offsetting.
[0035] The compression assembly 9 also includes a limit rod 95. The vertical rod 91 is provided with a plurality of height holes 96 in the vertical direction.
