[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1-5 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a spiral spring adjusting device for an automobile shock absorber, including a spring support cylinder 1, a step tooth 2, an installation groove 3, a support seat 4, a positioning plate 5, a positioning window 6, a positioning column 7, a positioning hole 8, a side hole 9, a locking bolt 10, a horizontal hole 11, a locking hole 12, a pad ring 13, an oil cylinder installation hole 14 and a wear-resistant coating 15. A step tooth 2 is provided at the top end of the spring support cylinder 1, and a wear-resistant coating 15 is provided on the top surface of the step tooth 2. The bottom of the spring support cylinder 1 is attached to the inner wall of the installation groove 3. The installation groove 3 is opened at the top of the support seat 4. A positioning plate 5 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the installation groove 3. The positioning plate 5 is attached to the inner wall of the positioning window 6. The positioning window 6 is vertically opened at the bottom of the spring support cylinder 1. A positioning column 7 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the installation groove 3. The positioning column 7 is attached to the inner wall of the positioning hole 8. The positioning hole 8 is opened on the bottom surface of the spring support cylinder 1. A side hole 9 is opened at the top of the outer side surface of the support seat 4. A locking bolt 10 is installed in the side hole 9. The locking bolt 10 penetrates through the horizontal hole 11. The horizontal hole 11 is opened in the middle of the side surface of the spring support cylinder 1. The end of the locking bolt 10 is connected to the locking hole 12. The locking hole 12 is opened at the top of the inner side surface of the installation groove 3. A pad ring 13 is fixed at the bottom end of the support seat 4. Oil cylinder installation holes 14 are opened at the centers of the support seat 4 and the pad ring 13.

[0022] In this example, the front view shape of the support seat 4 is a "丄" shape, and the thickness of the top of the support seat 4 is more than twice the thickness of the spring support cylinder 1. The above structural design enables the support seat 4 to stably support the spring support cylinder 1 and provides a stable installation foundation for the spring support cylinder 1.

[0023] The positioning plate 5 and the positioning window 6 are in snap-fit connection, and both the positioning plate 5 and the positioning window 6 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the spring support cylinder 1. The above structural design enables the positioning plate 5 and the positioning window 6 to be aligned and snap-fitted, and can prevent the spring support cylinder 1 from rotating in the installation groove 3.

[0024] The positioning column 7 and the positioning hole 8 are distributed at equal angles with respect to the center of the spring support tube 1 and the center of the support seat 4 respectively. The positioning hole 8 and the positioning window 6 are distributed at intervals. After the positioning column 7 and the positioning hole 8 are connected, they cooperate with the positioning plate 5 and the positioning window 6 to further ensure the stability of the spring support tube 1 during use.

[0025] The locking bolt 10 is threadedly connected to the horizontal hole 11 and the locking hole 12. The horizontal hole 11 and the locking hole 12 are distributed at equal angles about the center of the support seat 4. The above-mentioned structural design can connect and fix the spring support tube 1 and the support seat 4 to ensure the stability of the spring support tube 1 and the support seat 4 during use.

[0026] The thickness of the gasket ring 13 is not less than 1 / 3 of the thickness of the bottom of the support seat 4, and the bottom surface of the gasket ring 13 is set to be matte. The above structural design enables the gasket ring 13 made of wear-resistant material to be in stable contact with the bottom mounting structure, ensuring the stable use of the spring support tube 1 and the support seat 4.

[0027] Working principle: During installation, align the positioning window 6 and positioning hole 8 at the bottom of the spring support tube 1 with the positioning plate 5 and positioning column 7 in the installation groove 3 respectively, insert the spring support tube 1 vertically into the installation groove 3, and then insert the locking bolt 10 through the side hole 9 and threadedly connect and fix it with the horizontal hole 11 and the locking hole 12. The device is sleeved on the outside of the hydraulic cylinder of the automobile shock absorber, and the wear-resistant coating 15 on the stepped teeth 2 is stably fitted with the bottom of the spring, and the gasket 13 is stably fitted with the mounting mechanism at the bottom of the shock absorber;

[0028] When the wear-resistant coating 15 is worn and the stepped teeth 2 are damaged, it is only necessary to remove the locking bolt 10, move up and pull out the old spring support tube 1, take out the new spring support tube 1, and install and fix the new spring support tube 1 according to the installation steps described above. This is the working principle of the coil spring adjustment device of the automobile shock absorber.

[0029] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
