[0002] Electromagnetic suspension, also known as magnetorheological shock absorber, is different from ordinary shock absorbers in that the shock absorber is not filled with compressed gas or oil, but a substance called magnetorheological fluid. Magnetorheological fluid is composed of magnetized soft iron particles suspended in synthetic hydroxyl liquid and can be controlled by an external magnetic field.

[0003] For example, the patent document with the existing patent number CN202010812590.3 discloses a magnetorheological shock absorber, including a lower hanging ring, a valve core, a first sealing ring, a liquid storage cylinder, a second sealing ring, a heat-conducting cylinder, a piston rod dust cover, a piston, a floating piston, magnetic fluid and nitrogen.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0035] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the various components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] As shown in the existing magnetorheological shock absorber with patent number CN202010812590.3, the upper piston rod 2 is connected to the vehicle body. When the vehicle encounters an obstacle, the tire will transmit the force acting on it to the outer cylinder 1, causing the outer cylinder 1 and the piston assembly 6 to move. At this time, the piston assembly 6 moves up and down between the first circulation chamber 200 and the second circulation chamber 300, that is, the charged coil cuts the magnetic lines of force in the magnetic field, generates a reverse magnetic field, and provides a magnetic force opposite to the vibration force to offset and reduce the force.

[0038] In the traditional single-rod + piston method, due to the up and down movement of the single-rod body, the total volume of the first circulation chamber 200 and the second circulation chamber 300 changes as the rod body moves in and out. Therefore, a floating piston method is added, but this structure adds additional costs, and the added floating piston needs to be sealed with the cylinder body 1 to prevent leakage of magnetorheological fluid. The friction between the floating piston and the cylinder body 1 is large, and it will move up and down during use, causing additional heat. The floating piston and the cylinder body are easily damaged by wear.

[0039] In order to solve these problems and ensure that the volume between the first circulation chamber 200 and the second circulation chamber 300 does not change during the shock-absorbing telescopic movement, the design of the floating piston is eliminated, thereby reducing costs, wear and heat.

[0040] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the present invention provides a single-tube double-rod magnetorheological shock absorber, and its specific implementation is as follows:

[0041] like Figure 1-2 The figure shows a single-tube, dual-rod magnetorheological shock absorber, comprising an outer cylinder 1, which is sequentially equipped with a spring plate 11, a stabilizer bar bracket 12, and a support bracket 13 from top to bottom. The outer cylinder 1 is made of high-strength alloy steel, has an inner diameter of 36mm-54mm, and a wall thickness designed according to load requirements. The spring plate 11, stabilizer bar bracket 12, and support bracket 13 are welded to the outer surface of the outer cylinder 1, sequentially from top to bottom.

[0042] A plurality of connection holes 110 are provided on the top of the spring disk 11 for fixing the vehicle spring.

[0043] The support bracket 13 comprises an outer mounting bracket 131 and an inner mounting bracket 132. The outer mounting bracket 131 is generally tubular and is welded onto the outer cylinder 1. The inner mounting bracket 132 is locked to the outer mounting bracket 131 via a snap-fit mechanism. The outer mounting bracket 131 also incorporates a wiring harness bracket 133 and an oil pipe bracket 134 for securing cables and hydraulic lines.

[0044] like Figure 3-4 As shown, the main improvement of the present invention is to set two groups of guides and two piston rods, specifically, an upper guide 4 and a lower guide 5 are provided in the outer cylinder 1, two limiting grooves 10 are provided on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1, and a wire retaining ring 101 is provided in each limiting groove 10, and the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are respectively clamped on the corresponding wire retaining ring 101. By processing two annular limiting grooves 10 on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 and installing the wire retaining ring 101 in the groove, the positions of the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are fixed. In the present invention, the structures of the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are exactly the same and are symmetrically arranged. The ends of the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are respectively clamped on the corresponding wire retaining ring 101 to achieve axial positioning and fixation of the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5.

[0045] like Figure 3-6 As shown, the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5 are symmetrically arranged, and the structure of the lower guide 5 is the same as that of the upper guide 4. The upper guide 4 includes a cylindrical outer shell 41, a bearing cavity 40 is provided in the cylindrical outer shell 41, a bearing 42 is provided in the bearing cavity 40, and the bearing 42 is sleeved on the upper piston rod 2. A plurality of sealing rings 43 are provided between the outer wall of the upper guide 4 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1.

[0046] The present invention provides a lower piston rod, eliminates the floating piston and the nitrogen-filled cylinder, and the single-tube structure simplifies the overall structure of the shock absorber, reduces the number of parts, and reduces manufacturing costs and assembly difficulty.

[0047] The upper guide 4 includes a cylindrical outer shell 41, a bearing cavity 40 is provided inside the outer shell, and a bearing 42 is arranged in the cavity. The bearing 42 is sleeved on the upper piston rod 2 to reduce the friction during the linear motion of the piston rod.

[0048] At the same time, in order to prevent leakage of the magnetorheological fluid, a plurality of sealing rings 43 are installed in the external area, that is, between the outer wall of the upper guide 4 and the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1 .

[0049] At the connection between the bearing 42 and the upper piston rod 2, that is, the two end faces of the bearing 42 are respectively provided with a first oil seal assembly 421 and a second oil seal assembly 423. In order to further improve the sealing effect, an outer oil seal assembly 44 is also provided on the outer end face of the upper guide 4. The first oil seal assembly 421, the second oil seal assembly 423 and the outer oil seal assembly 44 are sequentially sleeved on the upper piston rod 2 from the inside to the outside.

[0050] The first oil seal assembly 421 and the second oil seal assembly 423 are respectively installed on the two end surfaces of the bearing 42, and an outer oil seal assembly 44 is added to the outer end surface of the upper guide 4. The three are arranged in sequence from the inside to the outside along the upper piston rod 2 to form a multi-stage seal, so that the upper piston rod 2 always maintains a seal with the outside world during the up and down movement.

[0051] The present invention effectively prevents leakage of magnetorheological fluid and intrusion of external impurities by arranging multiple sealing rings on the upper guide and the lower guide, and arranging oil seal assemblies on the bearing end face and the outer end face, thereby ensuring long-term stable operation of the shock absorber.

[0052] To prevent the piston assembly 6 from violent up and down movement, which could damage the upper and lower guides 4 and 5, anti-rebound elastic supports 45 are installed on the end surfaces of the upper and lower guides 4 and 5 near the piston assembly 6. These supports 45 can be made of polyurethane cushions to absorb the impact of piston rebound. This anti-rebound design improves safety: The anti-rebound elastic supports installed on the end surfaces of the upper guides near the piston assembly effectively suppress rebound of the shock absorber after a violent impact, enhancing vehicle stability and safety during driving.

[0053] A piston assembly 6 is provided between the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5. The outer cylinder 1 is sequentially divided into a compensating outer chamber 100, a first circulation chamber 200 and a second circulation chamber 300 by the upper guide 4, the piston assembly 6 and the lower guide 5. The first circulation chamber 200 and the second circulation chamber 300 are filled with magnetorheological fluid, and the compensating outer chamber 100 is connected to the outside; the piston assembly 6 is located between the upper guide 4 and the lower guide 5, and includes a piston outer shell 61 and a magnetic inner core 62.

[0054] like Figure 7-9 As shown, the two ends of the piston assembly 6 are respectively connected to the upper piston rod 2 and the lower piston rod 3, the upper piston rod 2 is slidably connected to the upper guide 4, and the lower piston rod 3 is slidably connected to the lower guide 5, and a cable 7 is provided in the upper piston rod 2.

[0055] The outer cylinder 1 is divided into three cavities by the upper guide 4, the piston assembly 6 and the lower guide 5.

[0056] Dual-rod volume balance: As the upper and lower piston rods (2) and (3) extend and retract, the volume changes within the cavity offset each other, ensuring a constant total volume. This eliminates the need for floating pistons and nitrogen filling, simplifying the product structure. The dual-rod design ensures a constant total volume during expansion and contraction, avoiding the pressure fluctuations associated with volume changes in traditional shock absorbers and further optimizing the damping effect.

[0057] Cavity working principle:

[0058] The upper and lower piston rods 2 and 3 have identical diameters and contours. The lower piston rod 3 is provided to spatially compensate for the movement of the upper piston rod 2. When the upper piston rod 2 moves downward, generating positive pressure and squeezing the first and second circulation chambers 200 and 300, the lower piston rod 3 moves downward by the same length, offsetting the pressure from the upper piston rod 2. Similarly, when the upper piston rod 2 moves upward, generating negative pressure on the first and second circulation chambers 200 and 300, the lower piston rod 3 moves upward by the same length, compensating for the negative pressure generated by the upper piston rod 2. Therefore, during the overall upward and downward movement of the piston assembly 6 and the upper and lower piston rods 2 and 3, the total volume of the magnetorheological fluid within the first and second circulation chambers 200 and 300 remains unchanged. Similarly, during the shock-absorbing telescopic movement, the total volume of the upper and lower piston rods 2 and 3 within the first and second circulation chambers 200 and 300 remains unchanged.

[0059] The piston assembly 6 includes a piston outer shell 61 and a magnetic inner core 62. The magnetic inner core 62 is located inside the piston outer shell 61. An upper pressure plate 63 and a lower pressure plate 64 are respectively provided at both ends of the magnetic inner core 62. The upper pressure plate 63 is fixedly connected to the upper piston rod 2, and the lower pressure plate 64 is fixedly connected to the lower piston rod 3. At the same time, the upper pressure plate 63 and the lower pressure plate 64 are clamped and fixed on the piston outer shell 61.

[0060] The cable 7 passes through the upper pressing plate 63 and is electrically connected to the magnetic inner core 62 .

[0061] The inner diameter of the magnetic inner core 62 is smaller than the inner diameter of the piston outer shell 61 , and a plurality of flow holes 60 are provided on the upper pressing plate 63 and the lower pressing plate 64 . The magnetic inner core 62 includes an insulating casting 621 and a coil 622 .

[0062] The magnetic inner core 62 is composed of an insulating casting 621 wrapped with a coil 622. The coil 622 is connected to an external controller via a cable 7 in the upper piston rod 2. The insulating casting 621 can be epoxy resin.

[0063] The outer diameter of the inner core is smaller than the inner diameter of the piston outer shell 61. The two ends of the magnetic inner core 62 are fixed by an upper pressing plate 63 and a lower pressing plate 64. A plurality of flow holes 60 are opened on the pressing plate to allow the magnetorheological fluid to flow in both directions to form an annular flow channel.

[0064] The first circulation chamber 200 and the second circulation chamber 300 are filled with magnetorheological fluid, and the two chambers are connected through the annular flow channel of the piston outer shell 61 and the pressure plate circulation hole 60.

[0065] The compensation outer chamber 100 is communicated with the atmosphere and is used to place the lower piston rod 3 so as to compensate for the volume change of the upper piston rod.

[0066] The upper pressing plate 63 is threadedly connected to the upper piston rod 2 , and the lower pressing plate 64 is fixed to the lower piston rod 3 by welding.

[0067] The shock absorber is connected to the suspension spring via the spring plate 11, and the support bracket 13 is fixed to the vehicle body or axle. During operation, the controller adjusts the current of the coil 622 according to the road conditions, changes the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid, and adjusts the damping force in real time.

[0068] A vehicle utilizes the aforementioned single-tube, dual-rod magnetorheological shock absorber. This shock absorber is suitable for a variety of vehicle types, from passenger cars to commercial vehicles. The outer tube's inner diameter and connection hole layout can be adjusted to meet the installation requirements of different vehicles. Its excellent shock-absorbing performance also promises broad application prospects in high-end and special-purpose vehicles. This embodiment balances structural reliability and responsiveness, making it suitable for high-performance automotive suspension systems.

[0069] In addition, the technical solutions between the various embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, but it must be based on the fact that ordinary technicians in this field can implement it. When the combination of technical solutions is mutually contradictory or cannot be implemented, it should be deemed that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection required by the present invention.

[0070] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementation methods of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
