[0027] Embodiment 1

[0028] See also Figure 1-5 As shown, a double-knob damper includes an adjustment component, a limit component and a separator 21;

[0029] The regulating assembly comprises a cylinder 4, wherein the partition 21 is arranged in the cylinder 4, wherein the partition 21 divides the cylinder 4 into an upper oil chamber 8 and a lower oil chamber 15, wherein a piston rod 3 is slidably connected in the cylinder 4, wherein a fixed seat component 6 is arranged on the surface of the piston rod 3 located in the cylinder 4, wherein a floating piston component 7 is arranged on the surface of the piston rod 3, wherein the floating piston component 7 isolates the portion of the upper oil chamber 8 close to the fixed seat component from the air chamber 19, wherein a piston component 10 is arranged on the surface of the piston rod 3, wherein a damping groove 11 is arranged on the surface of the piston component 10, wherein a partition 21 is fixedly connected to one side of the piston component 10;

[0030] An upper end mounting connection nut 101 is provided on the end surface of the piston rod 3 outside the cylinder 4, and a lower end connection thread head 20 is provided at a position of the cylinder 4 away from the upper end mounting connection nut 101;

[0031] A damping adjustment knob 2, the damping adjustment knob 2 is arranged on one side of the upper end mounting connection nut 101 and is rotatably connected, a damping adjustment rod 18 is clamped on the surface of the damping adjustment knob 2, the damping adjustment rod 18 is rotatably connected in the piston rod 3, a damping adjustment valve core 17 is arranged on the surface of the damping adjustment rod 18, and the damping adjustment valve core 17 is arranged in the piston member 10;

[0032] A locking knob 1, which is arranged on one side of the damping adjustment knob 2 and is rotatably connected, and a locking adjustment rod 9 is clamped on the surface of the locking knob 1, and the locking adjustment rod 9 passes through the damping adjustment rod 18, the damping adjustment valve core 17, and the partition 21 and is movably connected;

[0033] A locking nut 16 is provided on the other side of the partition 21, and a locking sealing cover 14 is provided on one side of the locking nut 16. A limiting assembly is provided between the locking nut 16 and the locking sealing cover 14, and the limiting assembly includes a limiting pin 23, and the limiting pin 23 is fixedly inserted on the surface of the locking nut 16. A limiting groove 22 is provided on the side of the locking sealing cover 14 close to the locking nut 16.

[0034] The notch on the surface of the damping adjustment knob 2 that matches the damping adjustment rod 18 is an inner hexagon, and the end of the damping adjustment rod 18 is an outer hexagon. The clamping method of the locking knob 1 and the locking adjustment rod 9 is the same as the clamping method between the damping adjustment knob 2 and the damping adjustment rod 18;

[0035] When working, when using the damper, manually rotate the locking knob 1, then the locking knob 1 drives the locking adjustment rod to rotate, and by rotating the locking adjustment rod 9, the two holes connected between the locking sealing cover 14 and the locking nut 16 can be connected or disconnected, thereby realizing the locking and unlocking functions. The locking knob 1 can be rotated by 90° due to the restrictions of the limit pin 23 and the limit groove 22, which shortens the rotation path and greatly improves the convenience during adjustment. In the unlocked state, by twisting the damping adjustment knob 2, the damping adjustment knob 2 drives the damping adjustment rod 18, so that the damping adjustment rod 18 controls the damping adjustment The throttling valve core 17 moves up and down, and the size of the opening area of ​​the damping groove 11 is controlled by the damping adjusting valve core 17, and then the damping groove 11 controls the oil in the cylinder 4, and the flow speed between the upper oil chamber 8 and the lower oil chamber 15 is used to adjust the damping size. When the locking function is used, the damping adjusting valve core 17 retreats to the upper position, and the damping groove 11 is in a unobstructed state. When the damping adjustment function is used, the locking function is in an open state. By arranging a locking knob 1 and a damping adjustment knob 2 above the damper and cooperating with a limit assembly, the damping adjustment and the locking and unlocking of the damper can be made more convenient.

[0036] The surface of the connecting nut 101 installed at the upper end is slidably connected with a damping fine-tuning dividing steel ball 5 through a spring, and a slot is provided on the surface of the damping adjusting knob 2 relative to the position of the damping fine-tuning dividing steel ball 5; during operation, the damping fine-tuning dividing steel ball 5 can play a role of feedback and positioning when the damping adjusting knob 2 is rotated, and multiple damping fine-tuning dividing steel balls 5 can make the rotation angle of the damping adjusting knob 2 accurately positioned.

[0037] An O-ring 13 is sleeved on the surface of the separator 21, and the O-ring 13 fits against the inner wall of the cylinder 4. A piston ring 12 is movably sleeved on the surface of the separator 21. The width of the piston ring 12 is smaller than the installation groove on the surface of the separator 21, and the installation method of the O-ring is the same as that of the piston ring 12. During operation, when the damper is in a locked state, the O-ring 13 leans against the upper surface, and the piston rod 3 cannot be pressed down but can be pulled up. When the damper is in a damping state, the piston rod 3 is pulled outward, and the piston ring 12 leans against the lower position of the separator 21. At this time, the oil passes through the damping groove 11 to produce a damping effect. There is no damping when pressing down. The piston ring 12 and the O-ring 13 on the piston will move up and down with the pulling and pressing of the piston rod 3, thereby realizing a unidirectional flow of oil here.

[0038] Working principle: when using the damper, manually rotate the locking knob 1, and the locking knob 1 drives the locking adjustment rod to rotate. By rotating the locking adjustment rod 9, the two holes connected between the locking sealing cover 14 and the locking nut 16 can be connected or disconnected to achieve the locking and unlocking functions. The locking knob 1 can be rotated by 90° due to the restrictions of the limit pin 23 and the limit groove 22, which shortens the rotation path and greatly improves the convenience of adjustment. In the unlocked state, by twisting the damping adjustment knob 2, the damping adjustment knob 2 drives the damping adjustment rod 18, so that the damping adjustment rod 18 controls the damping. The regulating valve core 17 moves up and down, and the size of the opening area of ​​the damping groove 11 is controlled by the damping regulating valve core 17, and then the oil in the cylinder 4 is controlled by the damping groove 11, and the flow speed between the upper oil chamber 8 and the lower oil chamber 15 is adjusted to achieve the adjustment of the damping size. When the locking function is used, the damping regulating valve core 17 retreats to the upper position, and the damping groove 11 is in a smooth state. When the damping adjustment function is used, the locking function is in an open state. By arranging a locking knob 1 and a damping adjustment knob 2 above the damper, and cooperating with a limit assembly, the damping adjustment and the locking and unlocking of the damper can be made more convenient;

[0039] The damping fine-tuning graduated steel ball 5 can play a role of feedback and positioning when the damping adjustment knob 2 is rotated. The plurality of damping fine-tuning graduated steel balls 5 can accurately position the rotation angle of the damping adjustment knob 2. When the damper is in a locked state, the O-ring 13 leans against the upper surface, the piston rod 3 cannot be pressed down, but can be pulled up. When the damper is in a damping state, the piston rod 3 is pulled outward, and the piston ring 12 leans against the lower position of the partition 21. At this time, the oil passes through the damping groove 11 to produce a damping effect. There is no damping when pressing down. The piston ring 12 and the O-ring 13 on the piston will move up and down with the pulling and pressing of the piston rod 3, thereby realizing a unidirectional flow of oil here.
