Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas spring technology, specifically a gas spring with self-driving heat dissipation function. Background Technology
[0002] Gas springs, with their nonlinear stiffness characteristics and excellent damping performance, are widely used in high-end passenger cars, heavy-duty commercial vehicles, and special engineering vehicles. Their working principle involves dissipating vibration energy through the throttling effect of hydraulic oil flowing through a damping valve system, thereby achieving vibration reduction. However, during continuous, high-frequency reciprocating motion, a large amount of dissipated mechanical energy is converted into heat energy, causing a sharp rise in the temperature of the hydraulic oil and the spring body. This leads to a series of problems: 1. Thermal fade: Increased hydraulic oil temperature causes a decrease in viscosity, resulting in reduced damping force and decreased vehicle handling stability and ride comfort; 2. Performance instability: High temperatures may affect the lifespan and performance of seals, even leading to seal failure and oil leakage; 3. Gas pressure changes: Increased temperature causes an increase in nitrogen pressure in the gas chamber, thereby altering the spring's stiffness characteristics.
[0003] In the prior art, such as the Chinese patent with publication number CN116221332A entitled "A Cylindrical Shock Absorber for Automobile Suspension", the solution is as follows: an oil reservoir is set below the sealed outer cylinder, and the inside of the oil reservoir is set with a downwardly recessed cavity. Cooling water is added to the outside of the oil reservoir, so that the cooling water continuously cools the hydraulic oil through the water bath, thereby reducing the tension of the hydraulic oil, further limiting the conditions for bubble generation, and avoiding cavitation of the hydraulic oil.
[0004] However, this type of solution is essentially a passive cooling method, whose cooling efficiency is limited by the external environment, and the cooling water lacks forced circulation. Under continuous high-intensity operating conditions, its cooling capacity quickly reaches a bottleneck, failing to remove core heat in time, thus resulting in poor performance. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gas spring with self-driving heat dissipation function, which can solve the technical problems of thermal decay, performance instability and air pressure change caused by the rapid temperature rise during continuous, high-frequency reciprocating motion due to poor heat dissipation of gas springs.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0015] Furthermore, at the fixed connection between cylinder block I and cylinder block II, there is an oil passage I and a water passage I. The oil passage I is used to connect oil chamber II and oil chamber III, and the water passage I is used to connect water chamber I and water chamber II.

[0044] Oil chamber Ⅲ33 is connected to oil chamber Ⅱ32, and oil chamber Ⅳ34 is connected to oil chamber Ⅲ33. Hollow piston rod Ⅱ22 is provided with a through hole 221 connecting oil chamber Ⅳ34 and oil chamber Ⅴ35.

[0047] The reciprocating motion of hollow piston rod I12 relative to cylinder I11 drives the reciprocating motion of hollow piston rod III24 relative to cylinder II21 and hollow piston rod II22, providing power for the internal circulation of hydraulic oil and the circulation of cooling water, thereby achieving the cooling of hydraulic oil by cooling water.
[0048] In a specific implementation, a gas spring with self-driving heat dissipation function includes two main parts: a gas spring body 1 and a drive component 2.
[0049] The cylinder body I11 of the gas spring body 1 includes a cylinder bottom I111 at one end and a guide sleeve I112 at the other end. A hollow piston rod I12 and a piston I13 are assembled in the cylinder body I11. The guide sleeve I112 and the piston I13 support the hollow piston rod I12 to reciprocate along the axial direction of the cylinder body I11. One end of the hollow piston rod I12 is provided with a rod head 122. Both the cylinder bottom I111 and the rod head 122 are provided with lugs for assembling and connecting the gas spring in the vehicle.
[0050] The cylinder block I11 is externally fitted with a shell I14, and the shell I14 and the outer wall of the cylinder block I11 together form an annular water cavity I41. The inner wall of the shell I14 is provided with axially extending water guide strips 142, which are spaced apart circumferentially, thus dividing the annular water cavity I41 into multiple continuous circumferential flow channels. The shell I14 is provided with a cooling water inlet 141 for connecting to an external cooling water tank.
[0051] Two interconnected cooling water channels I44 are provided on the cylinder block I11 and the cylinder block II21 of the drive assembly 2. One end of the channel I44 is connected to the annular water chamber I41, and the other end is connected to the water chamber II42 inside the drive assembly 2.
[0052] The cylinder body I11 of the gas spring body 1 is equipped with a drive assembly 2 mounted side by side on the outside. The cylinder body II21, guide sleeve II213, hollow piston rod III24, and piston III25 of the drive assembly 2 together form a water cavity II42. The inner cavity of the cylinder body II21, namely the cylinder body II21, cylinder bottom II212, hollow piston rod II22, and piston III25 together form a water cavity III43.
[0053] Water chamber I 41 and water chamber II 42 are connected by water passage I 44 located inside cylinder block I 11 and cylinder block II 21. Piston III 25 has a through hole, which, in conjunction with gasket II 251, forms a one-way valve structure. This one-way valve structure connects water chamber II 42 and water chamber III 43, allowing cooling water to flow unidirectionally from water chamber II 42 into water chamber III 43. Water chamber III 43 is connected to an external water tank via an outlet 211 located on cylinder bottom II 212.
[0054] The hollow piston rod I12 of the gas spring body 1 is connected to the hollow piston rod III24 of the drive assembly 2 via a connecting rod 15. The hollow piston rod III24 and the hollow piston rod II22 cooperate to guide the oil fluid to flow in a predetermined direction along a preset path during the movement of the gas spring.
[0055] The oil chamber I31 of the gas spring body 1 is connected to the oil chamber VI36 of the hollow piston rod III24 through the oil passage III39 in the connecting rod 15. The hollow piston rod III24 is provided with a one-way valve structure formed by the through hole on the piston II23 and the gasket I231. This one-way valve connects the oil chamber V35 and the oil chamber VI36, which are enclosed by the hollow piston rod II22, piston II23, hollow piston rod III24, and piston III25, and restricts the unidirectional flow of oil from the oil chamber VI36 to the oil chamber V35.
[0056] Oil chamber V35 is connected to oil chamber IV34 formed by the inner cavity of hollow piston rod II22 through through hole 221 on hollow piston rod II22. Oil chamber IV34 extends to the position of oil guide plate 222 and is connected to oil chamber III33 formed by cylinder block II21 and housing II26 through oil passage II38 in oil guide plate 222. Oil guide strip 261 extending circumferentially is provided on the inner wall of housing II26, and oil guide strip 261 divides fixed flow channels in the axial direction.
[0057] Oil chamber Ⅲ33 is connected to oil chamber Ⅱ32 of the gas spring body 1 through oil passage Ⅰ37 provided on cylinder Ⅰ11 and cylinder Ⅱ21. Oil chamber Ⅱ32 is connected to oil chamber Ⅰ31 through damping hole 121 provided on hollow piston rod Ⅰ12, thus forming a closed circulation oil circuit.
[0058] An air inlet 51 is provided on the cylinder bottom I111 of the gas spring body 1, an oil inlet I52 is provided on the rod head 122, and an oil inlet II53 is provided on the connecting rod 15.
[0059] Hydraulic oil is injected into the oil spring through oil inlet I 52 and replenished through oil inlet II 53. After injection, oil inlet I 52 and oil inlet II 53 are closed, and nitrogen is injected through air inlet 51.
[0060] The flow logic of internal hydraulic oil and cooling water during the compression process of a gas spring is as follows.
[0061] During the compression of the hollow piston rod I12, the volume of oil chamber I31 decreases, and a small portion of the oil flows into oil chamber II32 through damping orifice 121. However, due to the small diameter of damping orifice 121, the flow resistance along this path is relatively large, so most of the oil enters oil chamber VI36 through oil passage III39. As the volume of oil chamber VI36 also decreases during the compression process, the oil entering oil chamber VI36, along with the original oil in oil chamber VI36, enters oil chamber V35 through the one-way valve on piston II23. Of the oil entering oil chamber V35, a portion remains in the increased volume of oil chamber V35, while the remainder continues to enter oil chamber IV34 through through hole 221, and then sequentially through oil passage II38, oil chamber III33, and oil passage I37 into the increased volume of oil chamber II32.
[0062] During the compression process of the hollow piston rod I12, the volume of water chamber III43 decreases, and the cooling water in water chamber III43 is discharged from the outlet 211 to the external water tank. The volume of water chamber II42 increases, and due to the direction of the one-way valve on piston III25, the negative pressure generated in water chamber II42 draws cooling water from water chamber I41 through water channel I44. Water chamber I41 then draws cooling water from the external water tank through inlet 141.
[0063] The flow logic of internal hydraulic oil and cooling water during the stretching process of a gas spring is as follows.
[0064] During the stretching of the hollow piston rod I12, the volumes of oil chambers I31 and VI36 increase, while the volumes of oil chambers II32 and V35 decrease. Due to the direction of the one-way valve on piston II23, the oil in oil chamber V35 sequentially enters oil chamber II32 through through hole 221, oil chamber IV34, oil passage II38, oil chamber III33, and oil passage I37. As the volume of oil chamber II32 also decreases, the oil entering oil chamber II32, along with the original oil in oil chamber II32, enters oil chamber I31 through damping hole 121. Oil chamber VI36 draws oil from oil chamber I31 through oil passage III39.
[0065] During the stretching of the hollow piston rod I12, the cooling water in water chamber II42 enters water chamber III43 through the one-way valve on piston III25.
[0066] This invention constructs a collaborative heat dissipation structure, significantly improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the gas spring. Specifically, this invention drives the circulation of cooling water and internal circulation of oil through the drive component 2: cooling water enters water chamber I 41, water chamber II 42, and water chamber III 43 from the external water tank and then returns to the external water tank; oil enters oil chamber VI 36, oil chamber V 35, oil chamber IV 34, oil chamber III 33, and oil chamber II 32 from oil chamber I 31 and then returns to oil chamber I 31. During the circulation process, efficient heat exchange can occur between water chamber I 41 and oil chambers I 31 and II 32, and between water chambers II 42 and III 43 and oil chambers III 33, IV 34, and V 35, allowing the cooling water to carry away the heat from the oil and achieve cooling. Water guide strips 142 and oil guide strips 261 are respectively provided on the inner peripheral walls of housing I14 and housing II26, dividing the corresponding chambers into multiple continuous flow channels, thereby enhancing the heat exchange between the oil and cooling water. This integrated structure makes full use of the hydraulic energy generated during the movement of the gas spring to drive the circulation of oil and cooling water, achieving efficient heat dissipation of the system without the need for an additional power device.
[0067] The hydropneumatic spring provided by this invention innovatively utilizes the system's own reciprocating motion to drive the circulation of cooling water and oil, and achieves efficient heat exchange through an integrated heat dissipation structure. It features a compact structure and requires no external power source. When installed in a vehicle, it can limit temperature rise to a safe range under severe operating conditions, thereby ensuring stable damping performance and avoiding the risks of decreased oil viscosity, thermal degradation of seals, and leakage caused by high temperatures. This significantly improves the vehicle's dynamic stability, driving safety, and service life.
