Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automotive damping adjustable shock absorbers, and particularly to a CDC damping control solenoid valve. Background Art

[0002] A CDC damping control solenoid valve is a solenoid valve used in an automotive suspension system, and its main function is to control the damping force in the suspension system to provide better driving stability and riding comfort.

[0003] Currently, Chinese Patent No. CN115585210A discloses a double-spring structure solenoid valve with segmented damping control, including: an upper cover, an outer valve sleeve, a main valve core, a series double-spring structure, and a pilot valve. The upper cover is arranged at the oil inlet end of the outer valve sleeve, the main valve core is arranged in the outer valve sleeve and is in top contact with the upper cover. A support structure is arranged between the main valve core and the pilot valve, and a series double-spring structure in a compressed state is arranged between the main valve core and the support structure. The main valve core is pressed by the series double-spring structure; the series double-spring structure includes a soft spring and a hard spring, and the soft spring and the hard spring are connected in series; the end of the hard spring in the series double-spring structure is connected to the main valve core, and the end of the soft spring in the series double-spring structure is connected to the support structure; a spring seat is arranged between the soft spring and the hard spring. The spring seat is a cup-shaped structure and is sleeved on the inner side of one end of the hard spring; one end of the soft spring is arranged in the spring seat and is connected to the bottom plate of the spring seat.

[0004] Because the end of the soft spring far from the connection with the spring seat is outside the spring seat, when the soft spring deforms into a torsion spring, the soft spring cannot be well pressed into the spring seat, but twists outside the spring seat, and this will cause the series double-spring structure to not be able to well press the main valve core; thus, the solenoid valve cannot work properly. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to ensure the normal operation of the overall solenoid valve, this application provides a CDC damping control solenoid valve.

[0006] A CDC damping control solenoid valve provided by this application adopts the following technical solutions:

[0007] A CDC damping control solenoid valve, comprising a main valve sleeve, a main spool, a pilot valve and a double-spring structure. The main spool and the pilot valve are both arranged inside the main valve sleeve. The double-spring structure includes a first-stage spring, a second-stage spring and a spring seat. One end of the second-stage spring is connected to the main spool. The spring seat is connected to the end of the second-stage spring away from the main spool. A receiving groove is formed on the spring seat. One end of the pilot valve close to the main spool is located inside the receiving groove. The first-stage spring is located inside the receiving groove. One end of the first-stage spring is connected to the spring seat and the other end is connected to the pilot valve. A through hole communicating with the receiving groove is formed on the spring seat.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, since the first-stage spring is inside the receiving groove, the receiving groove can limit the first-stage spring, so that the first-stage spring deforms inside the receiving groove. Therefore, the provided double-spring structure can ensure the normal operation of the overall solenoid valve.

[0009] Optionally, the spring seat includes a sleeve block, a connecting arc block and an outer edge block. The receiving groove and the through hole are both formed on the sleeve block. The connecting arc block is arranged on the sleeve block. The outer edge block is arranged on the connecting arc block. The sleeve block is located inside the second-stage spring. The outer edge block is connected to the second-stage spring.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, setting the sleeve block can limit the second-stage spring when the second-stage spring deforms, thereby reducing the phenomenon of the second-stage spring being distorted.

[0011] Optionally, the relative distance from the end of the outer edge block away from the connecting arc block to the sleeve block is greater than the relative distance from the outer side wall of the second-stage spring to the sleeve block.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the relative distance from the end of the outer edge block away from the connecting arc block to the sleeve block is greater than the distance from the outer side wall of the second-stage spring to the sleeve block, which can prevent the second-stage spring from abutting against the pilot valve. Therefore, since the spring is generally made of steel and the pilot valve seat is made of copper, the provided outer edge block can act as a gasket to reduce the wear caused by the direct contact between the first-stage spring and the pilot valve.

[0013] Optionally, the sleeve block includes a first connection block, a second connection block, and a third connection block. The first connection block is connected to the connecting arc block. A first accommodation hole is formed in the first connection block, and one end of the pilot valve close to the main spool is located in the first accommodation hole. The second connection block is disposed at one end of the first connection block away from the connecting arc block. A second accommodation hole communicating with the first accommodation hole is formed in the second connection block. The third connection block is disposed at one end of the second connection block away from the first connection block. A first placement groove communicating with the second accommodation hole is formed in the third connection block. The through hole is formed in the third connection block and communicates with the first placement groove. One end of the first-stage spring away from the pilot valve is located in the first placement groove. The first accommodation hole, the second accommodation hole, and the first placement groove form the accommodation groove. The third connection block is located between the first connection block and the main spool.

[0014] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the first placement groove is smaller than that of the second accommodation hole.

[0015] Optionally, the cross-sectional area of the second accommodation hole gradually decreases in a direction away from the cross-sectional area of the first accommodation hole.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, since the pilot valve connected to the first-stage spring is located in the first accommodation hole, when the first-stage spring is compressed, the pilot valve will move in the direction of the second connection block. In this way, the first-stage spring between the pilot valve and the third connection block will deform in the second accommodation cavity of the second connection block. The gradually decreasing cross-sectional area of the second accommodation hole can limit the deformed first-stage spring and reduce the phenomenon of the first-stage spring being distorted.

[0017] Optionally, a second placement groove is formed in the pilot valve, and one end of the first-stage spring away from the connection with the spring seat is located in the second placement groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second placement groove can limit the first-stage spring.

[0019] Optionally, the pilot valve includes a pilot valve seat, a pilot spool, and a pilot spring. Both the pilot valve seat and the pilot spool are located in the main valve sleeve, and the pilot valve seat is located between the pilot spool and the main spool. One end of the pilot spring is connected to the pilot valve seat and the other end is connected to the pilot spool. One end of the pilot valve seat close to the main spool is located in the accommodation groove, and the first-stage spring is connected to the pilot valve seat located in the accommodation groove.

[0020] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0021] 1. The double-spring structure provided can ensure the normal operation of the entire solenoid valve.

[0022] 2. The outer edge block provided can act as a gasket to reduce the wear caused by the direct contact between the first-stage spring and the pilot valve. Brief Description of the Drawings
