[0002] The use of shock absorbers on automobile suspensions requires the cooperation of solenoid valves. In a shock absorber, the solenoid valve is used to control the inflow and outflow of oil and gas, thereby adjusting the damping force of the shock absorber to control and reduce vehicle body vibration.
[0003] For the solenoid valve shock absorber, the existing pilot valve structure is relatively complex, consisting of two-stage valve systems, opening the valve twice when reaching the pressure value. There are many valve plates in the pilot valve, resulting in high costs and inconvenient assembly. At the same time, due to the large number of valve plates, the overall size of the valve system is longer, occupying the compression stroke and rebound stroke of the shock absorber. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a pilot valve of a solenoid valve shock absorber, which solves the problems that the existing pilot valve structure is relatively complex, consists of two-stage valve systems, opens the valve twice when reaching the pressure value, has many valve plates in the pilot valve, high costs, inconvenient assembly, and at the same time, due to the large number of valve plates, the overall size of the valve system is longer, occupying the compression stroke and rebound stroke of the shock absorber.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention is realized through the following technical solutions: It includes a piston rod, an oil storage cylinder assembly arranged at the right end of the piston rod, and a compression valve assembly arranged at the right end of the oil storage cylinder assembly. The right end of the piston rod extends into the interior of the oil storage cylinder assembly. An electromagnetic valve assembly is arranged at the right end of the piston rod, and a pilot valve and a circulation screw assembly are arranged on the right side of the electromagnetic valve assembly; The pilot valve and the circulation screw assembly include a pilot valve assembly arranged on the right side of the electromagnetic valve assembly. A circulation screw is arranged on the right side of the pilot valve assembly.

[0006] Through the above technical solutions, by setting the pilot valve and the circulation screw assembly, the length of the valve system is reduced. When the shock absorber works and the lengths of the storage oil cylinder and the working cylinder are the same, the effective stroke is longer.

Specific embodiments
[0016] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0017] As Figure 1 - Figure 6 shown, the embodiments of the present invention provide: including a piston rod 1, an oil storage cylinder assembly 4 provided at the right end of the piston rod 1, and a compression valve assembly 6 provided at the right end of the oil storage cylinder assembly 4. The right end of the piston rod 1 extends into the interior of the oil storage cylinder assembly 4. A solenoid valve assembly 11 is provided at the right end of the piston rod 1, and a pilot valve and flow screw assembly 12 is provided on the right side of the solenoid valve assembly 11; The pilot valve and flow screw assembly 12 includes a pilot valve assembly 121 provided on the right side of the solenoid valve assembly 11. A flow screw 122 is provided on the right side of the pilot valve assembly 121. The pilot valve assembly 121 includes a flow screw cover 1211 provided on the right side of the solenoid valve assembly 11. An inner ring band 1217 and an outer ring band 1218 are respectively provided on the left side of the flow screw cover 1211. A plurality of oil return holes 1219 are opened inside the flow screw cover 1211. Both sides of the oil return holes 1219 penetrate through the left and right ends of the flow screw cover 1211. The plurality of oil return holes 1219 are all located between the inner ring band 1217 and the outer ring band 1218. A multi-groove valve plate 1212 is provided on the right side of the inner ring band 1217 and the outer ring band 1218. A first valve plate 1213 is provided on the right side of the multi-groove valve plate 1212. A second valve plate 1214 is provided on the right side of the first valve plate 1213. A third valve plate 1215 is provided on the right side of the second valve plate 1214. The diameter of the second valve plate 1214 is smaller than that of the first valve plate 1213 and the third valve plate 1215. A washer 1216 is provided on the right side of the third valve plate 1215.
[0018] This product optimizes the pilot valve assembly 121 and the flow-through screw cover 1211, reducing the number of valve plates. As a result, the flow-through screw cover 1211 is easier to machine, reducing material costs and assembly time costs. The length of the valve system is decreased. When the working cylinder of the shock absorber has the same length as the oil storage cylinder during operation, the effective stroke is longer, which is more beneficial for the layout of the shock absorber on the vehicle. The oil return hole 1219 is optimized to reduce the ring band of the flow-through screw cover and the outer diameter of the valve system, effectively preventing the valve plate from scraping against the internal thread of the flow-through screw cover in extreme cases, which could cause poor product performance.
[0019] A rebound valve assembly 13 is arranged on the outer side of the flow-through screw rod 122.
[0020] The flow-through screw cover 1211 is specifically a metal machined part.
[0021] An oil seal 2 is arranged on the left side inside the oil storage cylinder assembly 4. A guide seat 3 is arranged on the right side of the oil seal 2. A working cylinder 5 is fixedly arranged inside the oil storage cylinder assembly 4. An outer cavity 9 is formed between the working cylinder 5 and the inner wall of the oil storage cylinder assembly 4.
[0022] The outer wall of the rebound valve assembly 13 contacts the inner wall of the working cylinder 5. A lower cavity 7 is formed inside the working cylinder 5 on the right side of the rebound valve assembly 13. An upper cavity 8 is formed inside the working cylinder 5 on the left side of the rebound valve assembly 13.
[0023] Working principle: When the shock absorber works, the piston rod 1 and the rebound valve assembly 13 reciprocate along the inner wall of the working cylinder 5. The lower chamber 7, upper chamber 8 and outer chamber 9 inside the shock absorber are filled with oil and compressed gas. During the movement, the oil passes through the throttling gaps of the rebound valve and compression valve to generate damping force. The solenoid valve shock absorber can control the throttling gap by changing the current magnitude, thereby controlling the damping force of the shock absorber. The pilot valve mainly affects the compression stroke of the shock absorber. During compression, the piston rod 1 and the rebound valve assembly 13 move downward along the inner wall of the working cylinder 5. At this time, since a part of the volume of the piston rod 1 moves into the cylinder, the oil pressure in the lower chamber 7 increases. The oil will flow from the high-pressure area to the low-pressure area through the throttling hole. At this time, the lower chamber 7 is the high-pressure area, the upper chamber 8 is the low-pressure area, and the outer chamber 9 is the low-pressure area. A part of the oil flows from the lower chamber 7 to the outer chamber 9 through the throttling gap of the compression valve assembly 6 to relieve pressure. A part of the oil first passes through the rebound valve assembly 13 and then through the pilot valve assembly 121 and the flow-through screw 122 and returns to the upper chamber. Since the valve system stiffness of the compression valve assembly 6 is relatively large, the flow rate of the oil flowing through this oil circuit is small, and the amount of oil passing through the rebound valve assembly 13 is large. Thus, the main compression damping force is generated. During compression, the piston rod 1 and the rebound valve assembly 13 move downward, and the oil in the lower chamber 7 is compressed, and the pressure becomes higher. The oil pushes open the core rod through the rebound valve assembly 13 and flows into the pilot valve assembly 121 from the throttling gap between the core rod and the flow-through screw 122, making the chamber between the flow-through cover 1211 and the electromagnet filled with oil. The oil will flow out from the oil return hole of the flow-through cover 1211 through the throttling grooves of the multi-groove valve plate 1212. As the oil continues to increase, the pressure in the chamber increases, and the throttling groove area is not enough to relieve the pressure in the chamber. At this time, the first valve plate 1213 will warp and deform, forming a circumferential gap with the outer ring band 1218 of the flow-through cover 1211. The circumferential gap area is much larger than the sum of the multi-groove areas. The pressure is relieved in this way and a certain damping force is generated. At the same time, the oil flows through the pilot valve assembly 121 and returns to the upper chamber 8 to prepare for the rebound stroke. By optimizing the pilot valve assembly 121 and the flow-through cover 1211 in this way, the number of valve plates is less, the flow-through cover 1211 is easier to process, the material cost and assembly time cost are reduced, the length of the valve system is reduced. When the shock absorber works and the lengths of the oil storage cylinder and the working cylinder are the same, the effective stroke is longer, which is more beneficial to the layout of the shock absorber on the vehicle. The oil return hole 1219 is optimized to make the ring band of the flow-through cover shrink and the outer diameter of the valve system become smaller, effectively preventing the valve plate from rubbing against the internal thread of the flow-through cover in extreme cases, resulting in poor product performance.
