Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shock absorption devices, and particularly relates to a double-cone multi-stage variable stiffness shock absorption device. Background Art

[0002] During the driving of a vehicle on different road surfaces, especially on rough roads, the vibration caused by the uneven road surface will be transmitted to the cab, reducing the comfort of the passengers and even making them uncomfortable. Although the flat-floating or full-floating cab mounts are gradually adopted in commercial vehicles in China, due to the use of a first-stage stiffness shock absorption mechanism such as a common damping spring or a common spring for shock absorption, the following defects exist: Since there is only one stiffness design in the first-stage stiffness shock absorption mechanism, it cannot meet the shock absorption requirements of the vehicle under all road conditions. For example, when the stiffness design of the first-stage stiffness shock absorption mechanism is small, the vehicle cannot only prevent the vibration caused by the road surface from being transmitted to the cab, but also the excessive vibration will exceed the shock absorption limit of the first-stage stiffness shock absorption mechanism, resulting in hard contact with the cab, causing damage to the shock absorption mechanism, and even tearing the cab in extreme cases. On the contrary, when the stiffness design of the first-stage stiffness shock absorption mechanism is large, although it can avoid the cab vibration caused by rough roads, it cannot meet the shock absorption requirements under good road conditions, reducing the comfort of the passengers.

[0003] Under this background, the company developed a second-stage stiffness shock absorber, a front body mount and a rear body mount disclosed in the patent application No. ZL2021206011058. Subsequently, it was found that some abnormal noises would occur in some scenarios during the use of this shock absorber, so it was improved again, and this solution was generated based on this. Summary of the Utility Model

[0021] To facilitate the understanding of this application, the following will provide a more comprehensive description of this application with reference to the relevant attached drawings. Embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings. However, this application can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application more thorough and comprehensive.

[0022] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which this application belongs. The terms used in the specification of this application herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.

[0023] It can be understood that spatial relationship terms such as "under", "below", "lower", "beneath", "above", "upper", etc. can be used herein to describe the relationship between an element or feature shown in the figure and other elements or features. It should be understood that in addition to the orientation shown in the figure, spatial relationship terms also include different orientations of the device during use and operation. For example, if the device in the drawing is flipped, an element or feature described as "under other elements" or "beneath them" or "under it" will be oriented "above" other elements or features. Therefore, the exemplary terms "under" and "below" can include both the upper and lower orientations. In addition, the device can also include other orientations (such as rotating 90 degrees or other orientations), and the spatial description terms used herein are accordingly interpreted.

[0024] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or connected to the other element through an intermediate element. In the following embodiments, "connection", if there is an electrical signal or data transmission between the connected circuits, modules, units, etc., should be understood as "electrically connected", "communicatively connected", etc.

[0025] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that the terms "comprise / include" or "have" etc. specify the presence of the stated features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof, but do not exclude the possibility of the presence or addition of one or more other features, wholes, steps, operations, components, parts, or combinations thereof.

[0026] As Figures 1-3 shown, a double-cone multi-stage variable stiffness shock absorber includes a buffer and a spring 1 sleeved outside it. Upper and lower baffles 4 and 5 are respectively arranged at both ends of the buffer. Both ends of the spring 1 are respectively abutted against the upper baffle 4 and the lower baffle 5. The spring 1 is spindle-shaped, that is, it becomes thinner from the middle to both sides.

[0027] The diameter of the spring 1 is directly related to its buffering effect. The larger the diameter of the spring 1, the more energy it can store, so it can provide greater resistance when absorbing shock and vibration, effectively reducing the impact of impact and vibration on the system. Therefore, compared with the ordinary spring 1, this structure improves the shock absorption and noise reduction effects.

[0028] Preferably, the pitch of the spring 1 decreases continuously from the middle to the two ends. This improved design can increase the elastic force at the two ends of the spring 1, shorten the elastic force gap with the middle of the spring 1 with a large diameter, and reduce the stroke of the spring 1 at both ends, so that its stiffness changes continuously. The friction and impact generated by the connection between the two ends of the spring 1 and the buffer are the main sources of abnormal noise, and the changing spring stiffness can improve the abnormal noise problem. Accordingly, the pitch of the two ends of the spring 1 is symmetrical about the middle.

[0029] The buffer includes an upper sleeve 2 and a lower sleeve 3 that are plugged together. The upper sleeve 2 is provided with a piston rod 6 with two ends passing through the top of the upper sleeve 2 and the top of the lower sleeve 3 respectively. The lower sleeve 3 is provided with a piston head 7 connected to the piston rod 6. The lower sleeve 3 is filled with oil. The piston head 7 is provided with an extension valve 8 and a circulation valve 9. The bottom of the lower sleeve 3 is provided with a compression valve 10 and a compensation valve 11. The compression valve 10 is located directly below the extension valve 8, and the compensation valve 11 is located directly below the circulation valve 9.

[0030] In the utility model, with the excitation from the road surface, the stiffness of the spring 1 changes differently, prompting the compression valve 10, the extension valve 8, the compensation valve 11 and the flow valve 9 to change the medium flow value in the buffer according to the change of the stiffness of the excitation, so that the damping changes, thereby improving the shock absorption effect of the vehicle and equipment.

[0031] The top of the upper sleeve 2 is connected with an upper joint 12, the upper baffle 4 is sleeved on the upper joint 12, the bottom of the lower sleeve 3 is connected with a lower joint 13, and the lower baffle 5 is sleeved on the lower joint 13. The bottom of the upper baffle 4 is provided with an upper ring 14 that is snap-fitted with the spring 1, and the top of the lower baffle 5 is provided with a lower ring 15 that is snap-fitted with the spring 1.

[0032] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
