DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, in the embodiment of the utility model, a front shock absorber assembly is proposed, including a left front shock absorber 1 and a right front shock absorber 2, the relative sliding parts are all sliding seals, and the internal hydraulic oil flows according to the fluid channel. Specifically, the left front shock absorber 1 includes a first damping cylinder 11 and a first piston rod 12 extending into the first damping cylinder 11, and the end of the first piston rod 12 is sequentially installed with a first gasket 13, a first valve system 14, a first piston 15, a first elastic gasket 116, a first valve seat 16 and a first nut 17. According to the arrangement of the first valve system 14 and the first piston 15, when compressed, the hydraulic oil needs to be subjected to the damping force of the first valve system 14 when flowing from the first damping cylinder 11 side (hereinafter referred to as the first side) to the first piston rod 12 side (hereinafter referred to as the second side), and the compression process has a buffering effect; and when restoring, the hydraulic oil flows directly through the first piston 15 when flowing from the second side to the first side, and no damping force is generated, so that the restoration is faster.

[0026] The right front shock absorber 2 includes a second damping cylinder 21 and a second piston rod 22 extending into the second damping cylinder 21, and the end of the second piston rod 22 is sequentially installed with a second valve seat 23, a second elastic gasket 24, a second piston 25, a second valve system 26, a second gasket 27 and a second nut 28; according to the arrangement of the second piston 25 and the second valve system 26, during compression, when the hydraulic oil flows from one side of the second damping cylinder 21 (the first side) to the side of the second piston rod 22 (the second side), it flows directly through the second piston 25 without generating damping force; during recovery, the hydraulic oil flows from the second side to the first side through the second valve system 26 to generate damping force.

[0027] The first piston 15 is in sliding cooperation with the first piston rod 12, and the second piston 25 is in sliding cooperation with the second piston rod 22, specifically, in sliding sealing cooperation. The first piston 15 and the second piston 25 are installed in opposite directions, and both the first piston 15 and the second piston 25 are provided with oil holes 3, and the internal hydraulic oil can only flow through the oil holes 3.

[0028] Therefore, during compression, the left front shock absorber 1 generates damping force, and the right front shock absorber 2 generates no damping force; during recovery, the left front shock absorber 1 generates no damping force, and the right front shock absorber 2 generates damping force, so that the damping forces of a pair of shock absorbers are asymmetric, which can ensure the stability of the vehicle during operation and prevent excessive tilting of the vehicle body.

[0029] Specifically, a first cylinder seat 18 is installed at the end of the first damping cylinder 11, and a first spring 19 is sleeved on the first piston rod 12, one end of the first spring 19 abuts against the first cylinder seat 18, and the other end of the first spring 19 abuts against the first gasket 13, and the first spring 19 realizes elastic support for the first gasket 13, that is, generates a force for the opening and closing of the first valve system 14. The first cylinder seat 18 plays a role in limiting the relative sliding distance of the first damping cylinder 11.

[0030] A first buffer plug 110 for limiting the sliding of the first cylinder seat 18 is installed on the first piston rod 12 , and the first buffer plug 110 cooperates with the first cylinder seat 18 to limit the relative sliding distance of the first damping cylinder 11 with respect to the first piston rod 12 .

[0031] At the same time, the entire left front shock absorber 1 includes a first outer cylinder 111 and a first inner cylinder 112 slidably installed in the first outer cylinder 111, a third damping cylinder 113 is installed in the first outer cylinder 111, the first piston rod 12 is installed in the third damping cylinder 113, the first cylinder seat 18 slides into the third damping cylinder 113, the first damping cylinder 11 is installed in the first inner cylinder 112, a second spring 114 is sleeved on the first damping cylinder 11, and the second spring 114 abuts against the end of the third damping cylinder 113. The first piston rod 12 is supported by the relatively sliding first outer cylinder 111, and the third damping tube supports and guides the relative sliding of the first damping tube, that is, the internal and external synchronous guiding of the first damping cylinder 11 is realized to ensure the stability of the relative sliding.

[0032] A good seal also needs to be maintained when the first outer cylinder 111 and the first inner cylinder 112 slide relative to each other. Specifically, a first sliding sealing seat 115 for sealing the first inner cylinder 112 is provided at the end of the first outer cylinder 111. The sliding seal of the first inner cylinder 112 is achieved through the first sliding sealing seat 115, and a commonly used sliding sealing structure can be used.

[0033] Specifically, a second cylinder seat 29 is installed at the end of the second damping cylinder 21, and a third spring 210 is sleeved on the second piston rod 22. One end of the third spring 210 abuts against the second cylinder seat 29, and the other end of the third spring 210 abuts against the second valve seat 23. The second valve seat 23 is pressed by the third spring 210, and the sliding distance of the second damping cylinder 21 relative to the second piston rod 22 is limited by the second cylinder seat 29.

[0034] Meanwhile, a second buffer plug 211 for limiting the sliding of the second cylinder seat 29 is installed on the second piston rod 22 , and the sliding length of the second damping cylinder 21 relative to the second piston rod 22 is limited by the second buffer plug 211 .

[0035] Specifically, the entire right front shock absorber 2 includes a second outer cylinder 212 and a second inner cylinder 213 slidably mounted in the second outer cylinder 212, a fourth damping cylinder 214 is mounted in the second outer cylinder 212, the second piston rod 22 is mounted in the fourth damping cylinder 214, the second cylinder seat 29 slides into the fourth damping cylinder 214, and the second damping cylinder 21 is mounted in the second inner cylinder 213; a fourth spring 215 is sleeved on the second damping cylinder 21, and the fourth spring 215 abuts against the end of the fourth damping cylinder 214; similarly, the sliding of the second damping cylinder 21 is supported by the fourth damping cylinder 214, and the sliding cooperation of the second piston 25 and the second damping cylinder 21 is combined to realize the synchronous guiding function of the internal and external sliding, thereby improving the sliding stability. Moreover, the sliding cooperation of the second outer cylinder 212 and the second inner cylinder 213 realizes the overall external guided sliding, and under the multiple concentric sliding guiding functions, the sliding process of the entire shock absorber is more stable.

[0036] Specifically, a second sliding sealing seat 216 for sealing the second inner tube 213 is provided at the end of the second outer tube 212 . The second sliding sealing seat 216 with a mature structure is also used to seal the relative sliding process of the second inner tube 213 .

[0037] In addition, it should be noted that other components of the hydraulic shock absorber are all existing technologies. Although not mentioned in this embodiment, the structures required in the specific shock absorption process can directly adopt the existing technologies.
