Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile shock absorbers, and is particularly suitable for scenarios such as automobile shock absorbers and precision polishing that have high requirements for the stability of magnetorheological fluids. Background Art

[0002] Vibration reduction technologies can be categorized into three main types: active, passive, and hybrid, depending on whether external energy input is required. Passive damping technologies primarily include cylinder damping (e.g., oil and air cylinders), rigid elastic damping (e.g., coil springs and reeds), and flexible elastomer damping (e.g., silicone rubber). However, passive damping technologies suffer from significant shortcomings in control performance, primarily manifested in poor controllability and low control accuracy. Actively adjusting the stiffness of a material using a magnetic field enables precise control of its damping properties. These intelligent materials with magnetically controlled properties are known as magnetorheological materials.

[0003] Magnetorheological fluid (MRF) is a smart material composed of micron- or nanometer-sized magnetic particles dispersed in a carrier fluid. Its rheological properties can be rapidly and reversibly tuned by an applied magnetic field. This property holds great promise for applications in automotive suspension systems, precision polishing, dampers, and medical devices. However, long-term stability issues, particularly magnetic particle sedimentation and interfacial failure, severely limit its industrial application. Summary of the Invention

[0037] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this does not limit the present invention.

[0038] This embodiment provides a shock absorber based on anti-settling magnetorheological fluid, comprising an outer cylinder 1, a floating piston 4, a piston assembly, an excitation coil 7, an acceleration sensor 5, and a return spring 10. The floating piston 4 is slidably mounted on the lower inner portion of the outer cylinder 1. The floating piston 4 divides the interior of the outer cylinder 1 into a working chamber and a gas chamber. The gas chamber is located at the lower portion of the outer cylinder 1 and is filled with nitrogen. The working chamber is filled with anti-settling magnetorheological fluid. The piston assembly is slidably mounted within the outer cylinder 1, dividing the working chamber within the outer cylinder 1 into an upper chamber and a lower chamber. The excitation coil 7 is disposed around the outer side of the outer cylinder 1 or integrated within the piston assembly to generate a controllable magnetic field. A damping channel 6 is provided within the piston assembly and has a spiral, linear, or zigzag shape. The acceleration sensor 5 is disposed at the end of the outer cylinder 1 to monitor vibration signals in real time. The return spring 10 is disposed between the outer cylinder 1 and the piston assembly. The return spring 10 is configured to provide elastic buffering force and, in conjunction with the floating piston 4, forms an anti-collision buffering mechanism.

[0039] The piston assembly includes a coaxially arranged piston rod 2, a damping piston head 3, and a sealing ring 8. The damping piston head 3 is hollow, and an annular groove is provided on the outer periphery of the damping piston head 3. An excitation coil 7 is embedded in the groove. The sealing ring 8 is installed on the outside of the annular groove on the outer periphery of the damping piston head 3 to isolate the excitation coil 7 from contact with the anti-sedimentation magnetorheological fluid. The damping channel 6 extends in a spiral, straight or broken line shape in the damping piston head 3, and a magnetic conductive material is provided between the excitation coil 7 and the damping channel 6 to enhance the magnetic field strength in the damping channel 6. The excitation coil 7 is electrically connected to the external controller through the hollow piston rod 2. The piston rod 2 is used to transmit a control current to adjust the magnetic field strength generated by the excitation coil 7. The gap width of the damping channel 6 is 0.2~1.0mm, and the channel surface is coated with a tungsten carbide wear-resistant layer. An axial groove 9 is provided at the working chamber position on the inner wall of the outer cylinder 1. The depth of the axial groove 9 is 0.5-2mm to enhance the turbulent effect of the anti-sedimentation magnetorheological fluid.

[0040] In some preferred embodiments, the method for preparing the anti-settling magnetorheological fluid comprises the following steps:

[0041] Magnetic particle pretreatment: drying the hollow iron powder;

[0042] Additive mixing: add graphite and anti-wear agent, thickener, antioxidant, pour point depressant, stabilizer, defoamer into the hydraulic oil and dissolve them to form a uniform mixture;

[0043] Initial stirring and dispersion: slowly add the dried hollow iron powder into the mixture and stir to initially disperse the magnetic particles;

[0044] After secondary stirring and homogenization, the magnetic particles and the mixed solution are poured into a high-speed stirrer and stirred at a high speed of 20,000-30,000 r / min to obtain the anti-sedimentation magnetorheological fluid.

[0045] The prepared anti-settling magnetorheological fluid is injected into the damping working chamber of the magnetorheological shock absorber to form a controllable damping medium.

[0046] It can be understood that in this specific embodiment, the hollow iron powder is first dried and pretreated to ensure the surface activity of the particles; then a variety of functional additives (graphite, anti-wear agents, etc.) are evenly dispersed in the hydraulic oil to form a stable mixture; through a step-by-step stirring process, the magnetic particles are first initially dispersed under mild conditions, and then a high-speed homogenization stirring of 20,000-30,000 r / min is used to achieve nano-scale uniform dispersion of the particles. This process ensures the full dispersion of the magnetic particles through physical and chemical synergy, and avoids particle breakage caused by high-speed shearing. The magnetorheological fluid finally obtained has excellent anti-sedimentation and long-term storage stability, while maintaining a good magnetorheological effect.

[0047] In some preferred embodiments, the hollow iron powder is a composite particle with a polyethylene layer coated on the surface of the hollow iron powder, and the preparation method thereof includes:

[0048] Mixing the dried hollow iron powder with molecular weight polyethylene;

[0049] Heat to 110-150℃ under nitrogen protection for melt coating;

[0050] After cooling, the mixture is graded through a 200-400 mesh sieve to form a coating layer.

[0051] It can be understood that in this specific embodiment, a composite particle structure of hollow iron powder coated with polyethylene is used. The preparation process uses a melt coating process under nitrogen protection to uniformly coat the polyethylene on the surface of the iron powder in the temperature range of 110-150°C, and forms a complete and dense coating layer after sieving. On the one hand, the polyethylene coating layer effectively weakens the van der Waals interaction between magnetic particles by reducing the surface energy of the particles, thereby inhibiting particle agglomeration; on the other hand, the good compatibility of polyethylene with hydraulic oil improves the wettability of the particles in the carrier liquid, forming a stable suspension system. In particular, the steric hindrance effect formed by the polyethylene coating on the surface of the particles can significantly hinder the Brownian motion aggregation and gravitational sedimentation of the particles, thereby enabling the magnetorheological fluid to obtain excellent anti-sedimentation properties and achieve long-term storage stability. This coating structure fundamentally solves the technical problem of easy sedimentation and stratification of traditional magnetorheological fluids while maintaining the magnetic response properties of the material.

[0052] In some preferred embodiments, the composite particles are formed by coating the surface of the hollow iron powder with a polyethylene layer, and further comprising an Fe3O4 transition layer between the hollow iron powder and the polyethylene layer, forming a three-layer composite particle; the preparation method of the Fe3O4 transition layer is as follows:

[0053] The hollow iron powder is treated in Ar / O2 plasma to generate nano-scale oxide protrusions on the surface and then dried;

[0054] The treated hollow iron powder reacts with FeCl3 solution to form a Fe3O4 transition layer on the surface.

[0055] It is understandable that the three-layer coating structure design (Fe-Fe3O4-PE) constructs a nano-scale Fe3O4 transition layer on the surface of the hollow iron powder through plasma treatment and chemical oxidation, and then covers it with a polyethylene outer layer. The core advantages of this structure are: the Fe3O4 transition layer acts as a "molecular bridge", simultaneously connecting the iron core and the PE layer through chemical bonds, significantly improving the interfacial bonding strength; the nano-protrusions produced by the plasma treatment increase the specific surface area, making the subsequent Fe3O4 layer growth more uniform and dense. This gradient design enables the particles to maintain ultra-low adhesion (≤8nN) in the carrier liquid, while the PE outer layer provides steric hindrance and oleophobic effects (contact angle ≥120°). The triple synergistic effect enables the magnetorheological fluid to have both super strong anti-sedimentation properties (500h sedimentation rate <5%) and excellent magnetic response performance (yield stress ≥50kPa).

[0056] In some preferred embodiments, the preparation method of the three-layer structure composite particles is as follows:

[0057] The hollow iron powder is treated in Ar / O2 plasma to generate nano-scale oxide protrusions on the surface and then dried;

[0058] The dried hollow iron powder reacts with FeCl3 solution to form a Fe3O4 transition layer on the surface;

[0059] Mixing branched polyethylene wax containing 1-3 wt% maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene with hollow iron powder and melt coating;

[0060] After cooling, the mixture is graded through a 200-400 mesh sieve to form a coating layer.

[0061] It is understandable that nano-scale oxide protrusions are constructed on the surface of the hollow iron powder through Ar / O2 plasma treatment. This micro-roughening treatment not only increases the specific surface area, but also provides an ideal nucleation site for the subsequent growth of the Fe3O4 layer; the Fe3O4 transition layer subsequently generated by reaction with FeCl3 solution has dual functions. Its spinel structure can not only form a strong Fe-O-Fe bond with the iron core, but also undergo esterification reaction with maleic anhydride grafted polyethylene (MAH-g-PE) through surface hydroxyl groups to achieve molecular-level interface coupling; branched polyethylene wax (containing 1-3wt% MAH-g-PE) is specially selected for melt coating. Its branched structure can enhance the flexibility of the coating layer, while the maleic anhydride group produces chemical bonding with the Fe3O4 surface. The final PE coating layer has excellent integrity and bonding strength. This gradient structural design enables the particles to exhibit ultra-low interfacial energy (γ<0.5J / m 2 ), the monodisperse particle system obtained after sieve classification can achieve anti-sedimentation, improve shear yield strength and maintain stable performance in a wide temperature range of -40 to 120°C, completely solving the technical problem of easy failure of traditional magnetorheological fluid interface.

[0062] In some preferred embodiments, in the three-layer composite particles, the thickness ratio of the Fe3O4 transition layer to the coating layer is calculated by the following formula:

[0063] ;

[0064] in,

[0065] E Fe is the elastic modulus of iron, in GPa;

[0066] E PE is the elastic modulus of polyethylene, in GPa;

[0067] α Fe is the thermal expansion coefficient of iron, in units of 1×10 -6 K -1 ;

[0068] α Fe3O4 is the thermal expansion coefficient of Fe3O4, the unit is 1×10 -6 K -1 ;

[0069] α PE is the thermal expansion coefficient of polyethylene, in units of 1×10 -6 K -1 ;

[0070] r0=100 nm, characteristic length;

[0071] r is the current particle size of the hollow iron powder in nm;

[0072] is the surface energy of Fe3O4, the unit is J / m 2 ;

[0073] is the surface energy of PE, the unit is J / m 2 ;

[0074] is the surface energy of Fe, in J / m 2 ;

[0075] and =0.5 ; =1.2 .

[0076] It is understandable that the above thickness ratio calculation formula is based on the principle of multi-physics field coupling, and the optimal design of the coating structure is achieved by quantifying three key interactions. The molecular term E in the formula is PE (α Fe3O4 -α PE ) / E Fe (α Fe -α Fe3O4 ) reflects the thermodynamic matching mechanism: using the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between polyethylene and Fe3O4 and the difference between iron and Fe3O4, combined with the elastic modulus ratio of the two, the thickness ratio base required for thermal stress balance is accurately calculated, and the correction term Then the synergistic effect of interface energy and particle size is introduced: γ Fe3O4 / γ PE =0.5 represents the interface bonding strength between the transition layer and PE, γ Fe / γ Fe3O4 =1.2 reflects the interface stability between the iron core and the transition layer, and the term r0 / r enables adaptive particle size adjustment (a characteristic length of 100 nm ensures nanoscale applicability). This formula establishes a ternary mathematical model of thermal expansion, interfacial energy, and particle size. By manipulating the value of η, interfacial thermal stress can be reduced while maintaining magnetic field penetration efficiency. This guides the precise preparation of the Fe3O4 and PE layers during the process, ensuring that the coating integrity of the magnetorheological fluid remains at 92% after 100,000 shear cycles.

[0077] In some preferred embodiments, the particle size of the hollow iron powder is 300-600 nm.

[0078] In some preferred embodiments, the kinematic viscosity of the hydraulic oil at 20° C. is 20-60 mPa·s.

[0079] In some preferred embodiments, the pour point depressant is an alkyl naphthalene.

[0080] In some preferred embodiments, the antiwear agent is chlorinated paraffin.

[0081] In some preferred embodiments, the thickener is a high molecular weight polyether.

[0082] In some preferred embodiments, the antioxidant is a dialkyl dithiophosphate.

[0083] In some preferred embodiments, the defoaming agent is dimethicone.

[0084] In some preferred embodiments, the amount of graphite added is 1%-3% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, the amount of antioxidant added is 1%-2% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, the amount of pour point depressant added is 0.5%-1% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, the amount of thickener added is 1%-2.5% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, the amount of stabilizer added is 1%-2% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, the amount of anti-wear agent added is 1%-3% of the mass of the hydraulic oil, and the amount of defoaming agent added is 1% of the mass of the hydraulic oil.

[0085] In some preferred embodiments, the drying temperature is 160-180°C.

[0086] In some preferred embodiments, the rotation speed of the initial stirring and dispersing is 5000-10000 r / min.

[0087] In some preferred embodiments, the power of the Ar / O2 plasma is 100 W, and the gas ratio is 4:1.

[0088] In some preferred embodiments, the nano-scale oxide protrusions have a Ra of 50-100 nm.

[0089] It can be understood that in this specific embodiment, nano-scale oxide protrusions with Ra=50-100nm are constructed on the surface of the hollow iron powder by Ar / O2 plasma treatment. From the perspective of surface chemistry, the nano-protrusions increase the specific surface area by 3-5 times (confirmed by BET test), expose more active crystal planes (such as the {311} plane of Fe3O4), and provide high-density nucleation sites (≈105 sites / μm) for the subsequent transition layer growth. 2From a mechanical properties perspective, this roughness range optimizes the mechanical interlocking effect at the interface. A protrusion height of >50nm can break through the entanglement radius of the PE molecular chains (approximately 30nm), forming physical anchoring points. A limit of <100nm prevents interfacial crack propagation caused by stress concentration. Specifically in magnetorheological applications, this nanoprotrusion structure enables the Fe3O4 transition layer and the PE coating to form a "pinning-wetting" composite interface (the contact angle decreases from 105° for a smooth surface to 85°), achieving a triple stabilization mechanism of chemical bonding (Fe-OC=O), mechanical interlocking, and synergistic intermolecular forces. Ultimately, the particles maintain a high coating integrity after 104 shear cycles, a significant improvement over conventional smooth-surface particles.

[0090] In some preferred implementations, the FeCl3 solution is 0.1 mol / L.

[0091] This specific embodiment also provides an anti-settling magnetorheological fluid obtained by the above preparation method. Example 1

[0195] A comparative analysis of the magnetorheological fluid performance test results of Examples 1 and 4, as well as Comparative Examples 1 and 2, reveals that the three-layer coating structure (Fe-Fe₃O₄-PE) of the present invention exhibits significant advantages. In terms of sedimentation resistance, Example 3 achieved a 500-hour sedimentation rate of only 2.3%, a 69% decrease compared to Comparative Example 2 (single PE coating) and significantly superior to the traditional uncoated formulation (Comparative Example 1, which exhibited complete delamination). This is attributed to the synergistic effect of the Fe₃O₄ transition layer (40nm) and the PE coating layer (80nm): the transition layer enhances interfacial bonding strength (18N / m) through chemical bonding, while the steric hindrance of the PE layer effectively inhibits particle agglomeration. Regarding magnetorheological properties, Example 3 achieved a shear stress of 78kPa and a response time of only 10ms at a 1T magnetic field, improvements of 86% and 55% compared to Example 2, respectively. This is attributed to the efficient magnetic field penetration (loss <5%) achieved by the optimized thickness ratio (η = 0.20). Durability testing further validated its superiority. After 105 shear cycles, Example 3 maintained a 96% coating integrity rate and exhibited performance fluctuations of less than 5% across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 120°C, while the control samples all experienced interface failure or a sudden drop in performance. These results fully demonstrate that the present invention, through the formulaic control of the gradient coating structure and thickness ratio, achieves a breakthrough balance in sedimentation stability, magnetic response speed, and environmental adaptability.
