[0032] Figure 24 is an embodiment of the present invention.
[0033] As Figure 1As shown, the shock absorber comprises a shell (1), an external shell (2), a rebound damping adjustment unit (4), a compression damping adjustment unit (5), and a preloading adjustment unit (6). The shell (1) is fixedly connected to one component through a fixing clamping groove (111) on a main shell (11) and an annular groove between the main shell (11) and a rear cover plate (13), and the external shell (2) is fixedly connected to another component through a fixing clamping groove and an annular groove on a secondary shell (21), so that the two components can form a mechanism capable of rotating relative to the center axis of the shock absorber and having a shock absorbing function. The rebound damping size of the shock absorber can be adjusted through the exposed polygonal prism of the rebound damping adjustment unit (4); the compression damping size of the shock absorber can be adjusted through the exposed polygonal prism of the compression damping adjustment unit (5); and the preloading size of the shock absorber can be adjusted through the exposed polygonal prism of the preloading adjustment unit (6).
[0034] As Figure 2As shown, the main shell (11) and the outer shell (2) can be radially relative rotation, the main shell (11) on the sector partition column (114) and the secondary shell (21) on the sector partition ear (213) form six each other apart cross section sector variable space, wherein 3 space through inner through hole (113) connected, form space B; another 3 space through outer through hole (112) connected, form space A, space A and space B do not communicate, the internal are filled with fluid as damping medium, the fluid is called damping medium, damping medium can be regarded as incompressible, space A and space B are also separated by the piston (61) in the piston cavity (115) of the main shell (11), two independent space, space B is divided into two connected parts by the small hole formed by the damping valve, the fluid in space B through the damping valve, the flow in the compression process is called forward flow, and the flow in the rebound process is called reverse flow. When the outer shell (2) rotates counterclockwise under the action of external force, space A is compressed, and the increased pressure in space A acts on the piston (61), so that the damping spring (62) is compressed, and the fluid in space B forms forward flow. When the pressure of forward flow is very large, the forward flow can compress the damping spring (53), so that part of the fluid in space B can quickly pass through the damping valve (42), forming good damping effect; when the external force acting on the outer shell (2) disappears, the damping spring (62) pushes the piston (61), so that the outer shell (2) rotates clockwise, and the fluid in space B forms reverse flow. Since the pressure of reverse flow comes from the limited elastic force of the damping spring (62), the damping spring (53) cannot be compressed to quickly pass through the damping valve, so as to achieve the required damping effect; in order to avoid the collision between the outer shell (2) and the main shell (11) when the outer shell (2) is subjected to strong impact, that is, the "bottom touch" condition of the straight cylinder shock absorber, the outer shell (2) is provided with an outer through hole flow limiting valve (23) which can be extended and retracted. When the impact on the outer shell (2) exceeds the rated load of the shock absorber, the outer through hole flow limiting valve (23) will gradually block most of the cross section of the outer through hole (112), so that the damping is quickly increased, thereby avoiding the collision between the outer shell (2) and the main shell (11), and reducing the possibility of damage to the shock absorber. In the actual use of the shock absorber, the leakage of the damping medium is inevitable. In order to improve the product maintenance cycle, the outer shell (2) is provided with a pressure storage chamber, which can maintain the internal pressure and store a certain amount of damping medium.
[0035] As Figure 3As shown, the shell (1) includes a main shell (11), a front cover plate (12), a rear cover plate (13), the main shell (11) and the front cover plate (12) form a space for the outer shell (2) to rotate a certain angle, and the fluid inside the shock absorber cannot pass through any movable contact surface between the outer shell (2), the main shell (11) and the rear cover plate (13) form a piston cavity for installing the rebound damping adjustment unit (4), the compression damping adjustment unit (5), and the preloading adjustment unit (6).
[0036] As shown in Figure 4 , the front cover plate (12) includes a bolt hole (121) for fixing the front cover plate (12) to the main shell (11), and a one-way valve (122) for injecting a damping medium into the shock absorber.
[0037] As shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the main shell (11) includes a fixed clamping groove (111), an outer through hole (112), an inner through hole (113), a fan-shaped partition column (114), a piston cavity (115), and a multi-prism hole (116), the fixed clamping groove (111) is used to fix the main shell (11), the outer through hole (112) is used to form a space A between the outer shell (2) and the piston (61), the inner through hole (113) is used to form a space B between the piston (61), the damping valve (42) and the outer shell (2), the fan-shaped partition column (114) is used to form a plurality of variable volume fan-shaped spaces with the outer shell (2), the piston cavity (115) is used to install the rebound damping adjustment unit (4), the compression damping adjustment unit (5), and the preloading adjustment unit (6), and the multi-prism hole (116) is used to fix the rebound damping adjustment unit (4) so that the center column (41) cannot move radially and rotate along the center column.
[0038] As shown in Figure 7 , the outer shell (2) includes a secondary shell (21), a pressure storage piston limiting bolt (22), an outer through hole flow limiting valve (23), and a pressure storage piston (24), the secondary shell (21) is used to form a plurality of variable volume fan-shaped spaces with the fan-shaped partition column (114) of the main shell (11), and is connected to the target component to realize the shock absorbing function, the pressure storage piston limiting bolt (22) has a small through hole in the middle for packaging the pressure storage piston in the pressure storage chamber (215), the outer through hole flow limiting valve (23) is used to enhance the shock absorbing damping when the shock absorber bears excessive impact, and to avoid damage to the shock absorber when it touches the bottom, and the pressure storage piston (24) is used to accumulate pressure, and the source of the accumulated pressure can be a spring or compressed gas.
[0039] As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the secondary shell (21) includes a fixed clamping groove (211), a sealing ring groove (212A), a sealing ring groove (212B), a fan-shaped partition lug (213), an outer through-hole flow limiting valve groove (214), a pressure storage bin (215), a pressure storage piston limiting bolt threaded hole (216), and a flow guide groove (217). The fixed clamping groove (211) is used to fix one of the two components that need to achieve damping. The sealing ring grooves (212A) and (212B) are used to prevent leakage of the internal fluid of the shock absorber. The fan-shaped partition lug (213) is used to form a cross-section fan-shaped variable volume space with the fan-shaped partition column on the main shell (11). The outer through-hole flow limiting valve groove (214) is used to install the outer through-hole flow limiting valve (23). The pressure storage bin (215) is used to install the pressure storage piston (24). When the pressure injection fluid is increased, the pressure storage piston (24) is pushed to the deep part of the pressure storage bin (215), and the compressed gas or spring inside the pressure storage bin (215) can provide a sustained pressure to the inside of the shock absorber, and also provide a certain damping medium supplement function for the inside of the shock absorber. The pressure storage piston limiting bolt threaded hole (216) is used to install the pressure storage piston limiting bolt (22), so that the pressure storage piston (24) will not fall off. The flow guide groove (217) is used to provide a flow passage for the fluid inside the shock absorber and the fluid outside the pressure storage bin (215), so that they maintain the same pressure.

The flow limiting valve body (231) has a hole required for the movement of the spring sleeve (232). The spring stored between the two makes the outer through-hole flow limiting valve (23) remain in an open state. Under the impact of excessive load, the outer shell (2) rotates towards the outer through-hole (112) on the main shell (11), causing the flow limiting valve body (231) to block part of the outer through-hole (112), thereby obtaining greater damping resistance and avoiding the shock absorber from touching the bottom. When the flow limiting valve body (231) completely blocks the outer through-hole (112), the small gap at the front end of the flow limiting valve body (231) still forms a small cross-section fluid passage, reducing the peak pressure value borne by the inside of the shock absorber.
