[0002] Automobile shock absorber, also known as shock absorber, is a device used to reduce vibration. Its main function is to suppress the vibration when the spring rebounds after shock absorption and the impact vibration of the road surface, so as to improve the comfort and smoothness of the car during driving. The rear shock absorber is the shock absorber installed in the rear suspension system of the car. The upper support structure is the connection between the shock absorber and the frame.

[0003] Due to the full electrification of vehicles, the weight of the whole vehicle has increased, making the existing rear upper support products unable to meet the requirements. The current products are heavy and costly. This will cause the vehicle's shock absorption to fail during normal driving, unable to suppress the impact of the ground, and reduce the support force of the shock absorber on the vehicle, affecting the stability and maneuverability of the vehicle.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0017] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a rear shock absorber upper support structure includes an outer sleeve 100, two brackets 200 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the outer sleeve 100, a bushing assembly 300 is arranged inside the outer sleeve 100, and an upper cover plate 400 is arranged on the top of the outer sleeve 100, and the upper cover plate 400 is fixedly installed on the outer sleeve 100 through rivets 401. A lower cover plate 500 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the lower half of the outer sleeve 100, and the upper cover plate 400 and the lower cover plate 500 are clamped on the upper side and the lower side of the bushing assembly 300 respectively.

[0018] When in use, the bushing assembly 300 includes a bushing outer frame 301. The bushing outer frame 301 is made of PA66+30gf material. Its structural strength is equivalent to that of the iron bushing outer frame 301, and corrosion is eliminated. A rubber body 302 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the bushing outer frame 301, and a bushing inner frame 303 is fixedly installed at the center of the rubber body 302. The bushing inner frame 303 is made by a plastic coating process. The bushing inner frame 303 consists of a core 3031 and a plastic body 3032. The core 3031 is made of iron, and a galvanized layer is provided on its surface to prevent it from rusting and increase its service life; the plastic body 3032 is made of PA66+30gf material. After adopting the plastic coating process, the structural strength of the bushing inner frame 303 is increased by 5% compared with the iron bushing inner frame 303, and the weight is reduced, thereby achieving lightweight and reducing costs.

[0019] The top and bottom of the rubber body 302 are both provided with a first boss 304 and a second boss 305 in an array, the first boss 304 and the second boss 305 are arranged at intervals, and the length of the first boss 304 is greater than the length of the second boss 305. The rubber body 302 is attached to the upper cover plate 400 and the lower cover plate 500 through the first boss 304. The axial stiffness of the front reducer upper support is greatly improved, and at the same time, the abnormal sound caused by the impact of the rubber body 302 with the upper cover plate 400 and the lower cover plate 500 is eliminated, and the surface-to-surface contact is changed to surface-to-point contact, thereby improving its NVH performance.

[0020] Specifically, a first annular groove 101 and an annular protrusion 102 are provided on the inner wall at the bottom end of the outer sleeve 100, the first annular groove 101 is located on the upper side of the annular protrusion 102, and a second annular groove 103 is provided on the outer wall at the bottom end of the outer sleeve 100. The outer sleeve 100 is assembled with the dust cover of the shock absorber through the second annular groove 103; the outer sleeve 100 is assembled with the spring of the shock absorber through the first annular groove 101 and the annular protrusion 102, so that the outer sleeve 100 and the shock absorber are more compatible.
