Technical Field

[0002] When a car runs on a speed bump or a bumpy road, a large vibration usually occurs. To solve this problem, existing vehicles are all provided with shock absorbers.

[0003] Existing shock absorbers usually use a combination of springs and hydraulic damping cylinders to absorb vibrations, that is, the shock absorber support consisting of a spring component and a damping cylinder is connected between the fulcrum of the wheel and the vehicle body, and then the vibration energy during the vehicle's driving is dissipated. However, the combined shock-absorbing structure of springs and hydraulic damping cylinders requires a relatively large vertical installation space, which is determined by the working mode of the springs and hydraulic damping cylinders. Therefore, for relatively bumpy routes, due to the limited formation of the spring, the shock absorption effect is not very good.

[0004] The structure of the torsion damper currently available on the market is usually a flat structure that requires a relatively small installation space. However, the torsion damper dissipates the energy generated by the rotation work, so it is not suitable for the up and down vibration energy generated by the bumps on the car chassis.

The change or adjustment of their relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of the utility model without substantial change of the technical content.

[0026] In order to describe the present invention in detail, first, a shock absorbing device for a vehicle and a vehicle of the present invention are specifically described below.

[0027] like Figure 1As shown, the present application provides a shock absorbing device for a car, comprising a seat body 1, a transmission rod 2, a transmission member 3, a torsion damper 4 and an elastic element 5. The transmission rod 2 is arranged to reciprocate along the extension direction of the transmission rod 2, and reciprocates along the height direction of the vehicle body. The transmission member 3 is in transmission connection with the transmission rod 2, and the transmission rod 2 drives the transmission member 3 to rotate. The torsion damper 4 is connected to the transmission member 3, and the torsion damper 4 is used to attenuate the rotational movement of the transmission member 3. The elastic element 5 is connected to the transmission rod 2, and when the transmission rod 2 moves, the transmission rod 2 stretches or compresses the elastic element 5, and the transmission rod 2 is reciprocated up and down by the stretching or compression of the elastic element 5.

[0028] A portion of the transmission rod 2 is located in the seat 1, and a cover 16 is provided on the top of the transmission rod 2, that is, the cover 16 is provided on the side of the transmission rod 2 away from the transmission member 3, and a connecting ring is provided on the top of the cover 16 for connecting the transmission rod 2 to the wheel suspension or the vehicle body. The main function of the transmission rod 2 is to transmit the vibration energy of the vehicle body in the vertical direction.

[0029] The seat body 1 is provided with a through hole communicating with each other from top to bottom, and the seat body 1 is used to install the entire shock absorbing device on the vehicle body. The seat body 1 can be an integral type. The seat body 1 of this embodiment includes a hollow upper shell 11 and a hollow lower shell 12 connected to the upper shell 11, and the upper shell 11 and the lower shell 12 are fixedly connected. The main function of the upper shell 11 is to limit the transmission rod 2, so that the transmission rod 2 is not only positioned vertically by the transmission member 3, but also the upper part of the transmission rod 2 is vertically positioned by the upper shell 11.

[0030] Since the upper shell 11 is designed in the present application, the up and down reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 2 is limited by the upper shell 11, so that the transmission rod 2 will not deflect during the up and down reciprocating motion, and the direction of its up and down reciprocating motion coincides with the axis of the transmission rod 2, thereby making the up and down movement of the transmission rod 2 more reliable.

[0031] In order to limit the transmission rod 2 and prevent the transmission rod 2 from rotating when the transmission member 3 rotates, spline grooves are provided on the inner wall of the upper housing 11 and the transmission rod 2. During installation, splines are installed in the spline grooves, so that the transmission rod 2 is connected to the upper housing 11 through a spline connection. This connection method allows the transmission rod 2 to only move up and down relative to the upper housing 11, and cannot rotate.

[0032] An elastic element 5 is provided between the seat body 1 and the transmission rod 2. The elastic element 5 is used to attenuate and buffer the up and down reciprocating vibration of the transmission rod 2. The existing springs are mainly used for vehicle shock absorption.

[0033] The elastic element 5 in this embodiment includes a first spring 51 and a second spring 52. A cover 16 is provided on the top of the transmission rod 2, and a second boss 14 is provided on the top of the upper shell 11. Figure 1 As shown, the first spring 51 is located between the cover 16 and the second boss 14, which is equivalent to the first spring 51 not being located in the seat 1. The first spring 51 is limited by the second boss 14 so that the first spring 51 cannot shake.

[0034] The cover body 16 and the transmission rod 2 can be integrally formed or separately provided. The diameter of the cover body 16 is larger than the diameter of the shaft of the transmission rod 2. The main function of the cover body 16 is to limit the first spring 51 and provide a compression surface when the first spring 51 is compressed.

[0035] A limiting portion 13 is provided on one side of the upper housing 11 close to the lower housing 12, a first boss 22 is provided on the transmission rod 2, and the second spring 52 is located between the limiting portion 13 and the first boss 22. The cross section of the upper housing 11 is equivalent to a U-shape, and the transmission rod 2 must pass through the limiting portion 13 at the bottom of the upper housing 11.

[0036] The transmission rod 2 is configured as a stepped shaft. In this embodiment, the transmission rod 2 is configured as a three-step stepped shaft. The bottom portion passes through the stopper 13 and contacts and connects with the transmission rod 2. The diameter of the middle portion of the transmission rod 2 is larger than the diameter of the transmission rod 2 at the bottom, but smaller than the diameter of the transmission rod 2 at the first spring 51. The size of the second spring 52 matches the transmission rod 2 at the middle portion, so that the second spring 52 does not shake in the upper housing 11.

[0037] Among them, the reason why the present application adopts two-section spring is that if only one section is used, either the upper shell 11 is not designed, which is not good for the positioning of the transmission rod 2; or all springs are located in the upper shell 11. Since the transmission rod 2 is located in the upper shell 11, the entire transmission rod 2 only needs to be designed in two sections, which will reduce the diameter of a part of the transmission rod 2 and weaken the strength of the transmission rod 2.

[0038] The first spring 51 and the second spring 52 may be springs with the same elastic coefficient or springs with different elastic coefficients. The use of springs with different elastic coefficients can adjust the shock absorbing rigidity of the shock absorber according to the design.

[0039] Grooves are provided in the upper and lower parts of the lower housing 12, and a bearing 15 is installed in each groove. Both ends of the transmission member 3 are rotatably connected to the lower housing 12 through the bearings 15. The transmission member 3 is rotatably installed in the lower housing 12 along its axis, and the transmission rod 2 passes through the upper housing 11 and enters the lower housing 12 to be connected to the transmission member 3, and the axis of the transmission member 3 coincides with the axis of the transmission rod 2.

[0040] The transmission member 3 is installed in the seat body 1 , and the transmission member 3 is connected to the transmission rod 2 . The transmission member 3 is used to convert the vertical reciprocating motion of the transmission rod 2 into a rotational motion along the axis of the transmission rod 2 .

[0041] The transmission rod 2 of this embodiment is cylindrical, the transmission member 3 is a cylindrical tubular structure, and a connecting hole 31 is provided in the transmission member 3. The outer diameter of the transmission member 3 matches the inner diameter of the lower housing 12, and the diameter of the connecting hole 31 matches the diameter of the bottom of the transmission rod 2. This embodiment adopts a clearance fit, and after the transmission rod 2 and the transmission member 3 are matched, the transmission rod 2 will not shake.

[0042] The connecting hole 31 can be a through hole that penetrates from top to bottom, or can be a section at the top, a section at the bottom, and no section in the middle. The top can be used as long as the transmission rod 2 can move up and down, and the bottom can be connected to the torsion damper 4.

[0043] In this embodiment, the transmission member 3 and the torsional vibration damper 4 are also connected by a spline connection, so that the torsional vibration damper 4 can rotate synchronously with the rotation of the transmission member 3.

[0044] The transmission rod 2 is inserted into the connection hole 31, and a transmission pair is provided between the connection hole 31 and the transmission rod 2, and the transmission pair includes a spiral groove 32, a strip groove 33, and a slider 21 sliding in the spiral groove 32, and the strip groove 33 extends along the axial direction of the transmission member 3. The slider 21 and the spiral groove 32 are respectively arranged on the transmission rod 2 and the inner wall of the connection hole 31, that is, the strip groove 33 and the spiral groove 32 can be arranged on the inner wall of the connection hole 31, and the slider 21 is arranged on the transmission rod 2; or the strip groove 33 and the spiral groove 32 can be arranged on the transmission rod 2, and the slider 21 is arranged on the inner wall of the connection hole 31.

[0045] In this embodiment, the strip groove 33 and the spiral groove 32 are arranged on the connecting hole 31, the strip groove 33 is located on the side of the connecting hole 31 away from the torsion damper 4, and the strip groove 33 extends along the axial direction of the transmission member 3. The strip groove 33 enables the shock absorbing device to first use the first spring 51 and the second spring 52 for shock absorption when the bump is not large, so that the shock absorption effect is more direct.

[0046] The inner wall of the connecting hole 31 is provided with a spiral groove 32 along its axis, and the spiral groove 32 is connected with the strip groove 33. The transmission rod 2 is provided with a slider 21, and the slider 21 is located in the spiral groove 32 and slides. A limiter is provided on the side of the strip groove 33 away from the spiral groove 32 to prevent the slider 21 from sliding out of the strip groove 33. The connection between the spiral groove 32 and the strip groove 33 is a smooth transition.

[0047] When the strip groove 33 and the spiral groove 32 can be set on the transmission rod 2, and the slider 21 is set on the inner wall of the connecting hole 31, the strip groove 33 is located at the lower part of the spiral groove 32, so that the transmission rod 2 can achieve vibration attenuation through the up and down reciprocating movement of the transmission rod 2 when the vibration load is small, and when the load is large, the spiral groove 32 cooperates with the slider 21, so that the transmission member 3 rotates to drive the torsional damper 4 to rotate and attenuate the vibration energy.

[0048] The torsional vibration damper 4 is connected to the transmission member 3, and is used to buffer the rotational motion of the transmission member 3. The torsional vibration damper 4 in this embodiment is prior art, and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0049] Since the spiral groove 32 is connected to the strip groove 33, when the vibration load is too large, the slider 21 can enter the spiral groove 32 from the end opening of the strip groove 33 and from the entrance of the spiral groove 32 after the stroke of the slider 21 exceeds the length of the strip groove 33. In this way, when the transmission rod 2 continues to descend, the movement of the slider 21 drives the transmission member 3 to rotate.

[0050] On the other hand, the present application also discloses an automobile, comprising a vehicle body, wheels and the above-mentioned shock absorbing device, wherein two ends of the shock absorbing device are respectively connected to the vehicle body and the wheels.

[0051] In the present application, a strip groove 33 is provided on the transmission member. Due to the existence of the strip groove 33, when the vibration load is too small, the vibration can be dissipated by the first spring 51 and the second spring 52. When the vibration load is too large, the slider 21 can directly enter the spiral groove 32 of the transmission member from the strip groove 33. The up and down movement of the transmission rod 2 in the spiral groove 32 causes the transmission member 3 to rotate. When the transmission member 3 rotates, the torsional vibration damper is triggered to work, so that the torsional vibration damper works to dissipate the vibration energy. The present application is equivalent to having a secondary shock absorbing effect, and can buffer relatively large shock loads when the distance and space position are limited.

[0052] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the technology may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
