Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shock absorbers, in particular to a shock absorber with a novel protective cover. Background Art

[0002] Shock absorbers are essential components of vehicles, and the protective cover of the shock absorber can effectively prevent the shock absorber from being damaged by external substances, such as dust, gravel, etc. These substances may adhere to the shock absorber, affecting its normal operation or even causing damage. By preventing these substances from entering the shock absorber, the protective cover can keep the shock absorber clean and intact, extending its service life.

[0003] In the process of implementing the solution, the inventors found that the following problems existed in the prior art and have not been well solved: although the protective cover can isolate debris such as gravel from the shock absorber during the driving of the vehicle, it itself will be impacted by the gravel. As the vehicle drives and weathers, the protective cover will be damaged or broken. However, after the protective cover is damaged, it is difficult for most drivers to discover it at the first time. Over time, the gravel will cause damage to the piston of the shock absorber. Therefore, the service life of the conventional protective cover is relatively short. Once the protective cover is damaged, there will be a problem of lack of sealing. Utility Model Content

[0024] The lower end plate 3 and the upper end plate 4 are close to each other and are welded with a fixing ring piece 7 at the position of the outer filter screen 5. A plurality of screws 13 are provided at one end of the fixing ring piece 7 close to each other. The outer wall of the screw 13 is threadedly connected with a nut 11. The top and bottom ends of the outer wall of the outer filter screen 5 are sleeved with a pressure ring piece 8. The pressure ring piece 8 is located at the position of the screw 13 and has a perforation three 12. The pressure ring piece 8 and the fixing ring piece 7 are bonded with a sheet-shaped rubber ring 9 at one end close to each other. The sheet-shaped rubber ring 9 is located at the position of the screw 13 and has a perforation two 10. Cloth pieces 51 are provided at the top and bottom of the outer filter screen 5. The cloth pieces 51 are respectively located between the two sheet-shaped rubber rings 9 at the top and bottom. The cloth pieces 51 are located at the position of the screw 13 and have a perforation one 52. Metal rings 53 are installed at the position of the perforation one 52.

[0025] Specifically, the screw 13 is respectively connected to the second perforation 10, the first perforation 52 and the third perforation 12 on the sheet-shaped rubber ring 9, and the nut 11 is respectively located at the end of the pressure ring 8 away from the sheet-shaped rubber ring 9, so that the outer filter 5 can be installed by the cloth piece 51 at the end for limiting.

[0026] Specifically, the inner diameter of the through hole 12 matches the outer diameter of the screw 13 to avoid shaking due to size difference.
