[0083] In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that unless otherwise clearly specified and defined, the terms "installation", "connection", and "coupling" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two elements. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific situations.
[0084] One of the core concepts of the embodiments of the present utility model is to disclose an actuator, combined with Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the actuator includes: a first component 1 and a second component 2 that can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the actuator, and a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32 are formed between the first component 1 and the second component 2; the first component 1 includes a central shaft 11, and a compression channel 111 and a stretching channel 112 are provided on the central shaft 11; the compression channel 111 is adapted to connect the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 in the compression state of the actuator, and the stretching channel 112 is adapted to connect the second cavity 32 and the first cavity 31 in the stretching state of the actuator.
[0085] In the embodiments of the present utility model, the first component 1 and the second component 2 can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the actuator, and a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32 are formed between the first component 1 and the second component 2. In the compression state of the actuator, the compression channel 111 can connect the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32, so that the pressure medium can flow from the first cavity 31 into the second cavity 32 to generate a damping force; in the stretching state of the actuator, the stretching channel 112 can connect the second cavity 32 and the first cavity 31, so that the pressure medium can flow from the second cavity 32 into the first cavity 31 to generate a damping force. Since both the compression channel 111 and the stretching channel 112 are provided inside the central shaft 11, there is no need to occupy the installation space of the actuator, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the actuator, simplifying the structure of the actuator, and reducing the cost of the actuator.
[0086] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the first component 1 and the second component 2 can move relative to each other along the axial direction of the actuator. Among them, the first component 1 can reciprocate relative to the second component 2 along the axial direction of the actuator, that is, the first component 1 is the mover component, and correspondingly, the second component 2 can be the stator component. Or, the second component 2 can reciprocate relative to the first component 1 along the axial direction of the actuator, that is, the first component 1 can be the stator component, and correspondingly, the second component 2 can be the mover component. The central shaft 11 can be part of the stator component or part of the mover component, and can be specifically designed according to actual needs. The embodiment of the present utility model does not make specific limitations on this.
[0087] Specifically, a first cavity 31 and a second cavity 32 can be formed between the first component 1 and the second component 2. A compression channel 111 and a stretching channel 112 can be arranged in the central shaft 11. When the actuator is in the compressed state, the compression channel 111 can communicate the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32, facilitating the pressure medium to flow from the first cavity 31 into the second cavity 32. When the actuator is in the stretched state, the stretching channel 112 can communicate the second cavity 32 and the first cavity 31, facilitating the pressure medium to flow from the second cavity 32 into the first cavity 31. The pressure medium can generate a damping force during the flowing process, enabling the actuator to have damping ability, that is, realizing the function of a damper, being suitable for weakening or even eliminating road surface excitation, and improving the smoothness and comfort of vehicle driving.
[0088] Optionally, the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 can both be filled with a pressure medium. During the flowing process of the pressure medium, it is easier to generate a damping force.
[0089] In some embodiments, the pressure medium can also be a pressure gas or phosphate ester, etc. The embodiment of the present utility model only takes the medium as hydraulic oil as an example for illustration, and other situations can be set with reference.
[0090] Specifically, when the compression channel 111 is opened, the compression channel 111 can transmit the pressure medium, and the communication between the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 can be realized; when the stretching channel 112 is opened, the stretching channel 112 can transmit the pressure medium, and the communication between the second cavity 32 and the first cavity 31 can be realized. Further, when the compression channel 111 is opened, the stretching channel 112 can be closed, and when the compression channel 111 is closed, the stretching channel 112 can be opened, enabling the pressure medium to flow unidirectionally when the pressure medium is exchanged between the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32, facilitating better generation of the damping force and better elimination of road surface excitation.
[0091] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the compression channel 111 and the stretching channel 112 can be arranged inside the central shaft 11, that is, at least part of the structure of the damper can be arranged inside the central shaft 11. By reasonably utilizing the space inside the central shaft 11, the overall size of the actuator can be reduced, and it is convenient to simplify the structure of the actuator and reduce the cost.
[0092] Optionally, the two ends of the compression channel 111 along the axial direction of the actuator are arranged staggeredly along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the actuator. The staggered arrangement of the two ends of the compression channel 111 makes the path of the pressure medium flowing from the first cavity 31 to the second cavity 32 more complex, which can further improve the damping effect of the damper, so as to have the ability to eliminate more road excitations. Similarly, the two ends of the stretching channel 112 along the axial direction of the actuator are arranged staggeredly along the direction perpendicular to the axial direction of the actuator. The staggered arrangement of the two ends of the stretching channel 112 makes the path of the pressure medium flowing from the second cavity 32 to the first cavity 31 more complex, which can further improve the damping effect of the damper, so as to have the ability to eliminate more road excitations.
[0093] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the actuator can adjust its own stiffness and height according to road conditions, can eliminate road excitations, has a long service life, and can also improve the passing performance, driving stability and comfort of the vehicle.
[0094] During the driving of the vehicle, with the cooperation of the second component 2 and the first component 1, part of the path excitations can be eliminated. The pressure medium exchange between the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 can further absorb the road excitations and buffer the impact transmitted by the road surface, which is convenient for increasing the service life of the actuator, improving the passing performance of the vehicle, the operation stability of the vehicle, the driving stability and comfort.
[0095] Optionally, the first component 1 and the second component 2 move relative to each other along the axial direction of the actuator, which can drive the volume change of the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32. As shown in the figure, when the first component 1 moves upward or the second component 2 moves downward, the actuator switches to the compression state. The volume of the first cavity 31 decreases, and the volume of the second cavity 32 increases. In this way, the pressure in the first cavity 31 is greater than the pressure in the second cavity 32, and the compression channel 111 can be conducted, so that the pressure medium flows from the first cavity 31 into the second cavity 32, and the damping force of the compression stroke can be generated. When the first component 1 moves downward or the second component 2 moves upward, in the stretching state of the actuator, the volume of the first cavity 31 increases, and the volume of the second cavity 32 decreases. In this way, the pressure in the second cavity 32 is greater than the pressure in the first cavity 31, and the stretching channel 112 can be conducted, so that the pressure medium flows from the second cavity 32 into the first cavity 31, and the damping force of the stretching stroke can be generated.
[0096] In some specific embodiments, the first component 1 is a stator component, and the second component 2 is a rotor component. The first component 1 is adapted to be connected to the vehicle frame, and the second component 2 is adapted to be connected to the wheel. In this way, on the one hand, the second component 2 can drive the wheel to move to actively eliminate road excitations. On the other hand, the road excitations are transmitted to the second component 2 through the wheel, causing the second component 2 to move relative to the first component 1, so that the actuator can switch between the compression state and the stretching state, and the pressure medium can switch between the first cavity 31 and the second cavity 32 to generate damping to passively eliminate road excitations, improving the operation stability, driving smoothness and comfort of the vehicle.
[0097] In the embodiments of the present utility model, only the case where the first component 1 is a stator component and the second component 2 is a rotor component is specifically described. When the first component 1 is a rotor component and the second component 2 is a stator component, reference can be made for setting.
[0098] In some embodiments, the actuator further includes a valve member 5. The valve member 5 is adapted to control the opening of the compression channel 111 and the closing of the stretching channel 112 in the compression state of the actuator; the valve member 5 is adapted to control the opening of the stretching channel 112 and the closing of the compression channel 111 in the stretching state of the actuator.
[0099] In the embodiments of the present utility model, by controlling the opening and closing of the compression channel 111 and the stretching channel 112 through the valve member 5, the accuracy and sensitivity of the actuator to switch between the compression state and the stretching state can be improved. Moreover, a stronger damping force can be generated when the pressure medium passes through the valve member 5.
[0100] Specifically, when the valve member 5 opens the compression channel 111, it can close the stretching channel 112. When the valve member 5 closes the compression channel 111, it can open the stretching channel 112.
[0101] Optionally, the valve member 5 is arranged inside the central shaft 11 and is respectively connected to the compression channel 111 and the stretching channel 112, which can improve the reliability of simultaneously controlling the opening and closing of the compression channel 111 and the stretching channel 112. Moreover, arranging the valve member 5 inside the central shaft 11 is convenient for reasonably utilizing the space inside the central shaft 11.
[0102] Optionally, the compression channel 111 includes a first oil inlet channel 1111 and a first oil outlet channel 1112. The first oil inlet channel 1111 is communicated with the first cavity 31, and the first oil outlet channel 1112 is communicated with the second cavity 32; the valve member 5 is arranged between the first oil inlet channel 1111 and the first oil outlet channel 1112 and is adapted to open or close the path from the first oil inlet channel 1111 to the first oil outlet channel 1112.
[0103] In the embodiment of the present utility model, when the valve member 5 opens the path from the first oil inlet passage 1111 to the first oil outlet passage 1112, the pressure medium in the first cavity 31 can flow through the first oil inlet passage 1111 and the first oil outlet passage 1112 in sequence, and then enter the second cavity 32, realizing the one-way flow of the pressure medium from the first cavity 31 to the second cavity 32. When the valve member 5 closes the path from the first oil inlet passage 1111 to the first oil outlet passage 1112, the pressure medium stops flowing from the first cavity 31 to the second cavity 32.
[0104] Optionally, the stretching passage 112 includes a second oil inlet passage 1121 and a second oil outlet passage 1122. The second oil inlet passage 1121 communicates with the second cavity 32, and the second oil outlet passage 1122 communicates with the first cavity 31. The valve member 5 is disposed between the second oil inlet passage 1121 and the second oil outlet passage 1122 and is adapted to open or close the path from the second oil inlet passage 1121 to the second oil outlet passage 1122.
[0105] In the embodiment of the present utility model, when the valve member 5 opens the path from the second oil inlet passage 1121 to the second oil outlet passage 1122, the pressure medium in the second cavity 32 can flow through the second oil inlet passage 1121 and the second oil outlet passage 1122 in sequence, and then enter the first cavity 31, realizing the one-way flow of the pressure medium from the second cavity 32 to the first cavity 31. When the valve member 5 closes the path from the second oil inlet passage 1121 to the second oil outlet passage 1122, the pressure medium stops flowing from the second cavity 32 to the first cavity 31.
[0106] Specifically, in the compressed state of the actuator, the pressure in the first cavity 31 is greater than the pressure in the second cavity 32, so that the pressure medium flows from the first cavity 31 to the first oil inlet passage 1111 and can push open the valve member 5 to conduct the first oil inlet passage 1111 and the first oil outlet passage 1112. In the stretched state of the actuator, the pressure in the second cavity 32 is greater than the pressure in the first cavity 31, so that the pressure medium flows from the second cavity 32 to the second oil inlet passage 1121 and can push open the valve member 5 to conduct the second oil inlet passage 1121 and the second oil outlet passage 1122.
