When the fluid flows through a hole into the valve body in the closing direction of the valve body, the additional surface of the valve body bears the pressure of the damping medium, so as to achieve an increase in the characteristic curve bifurcation of the adjustable damping valve only in the inflow direction of one valve body. However, during the assembly process of this adjustable damping valve, the components inside the housing need to be assembled in a certain order. The components near the valve seat ring are relatively independent, and it is easy to make mistakes during assembly. Moreover, the centering of some components needs to be considered during the assembly process. Due to the limited space inside the housing, the assembly difficulty is relatively large.

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present application clearer and more understandable, the present application will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings. The illustrative embodiments of the present application and their descriptions are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0032] In a first aspect, as Figure 1 shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a damping control valve, which includes a valve housing 2, a main valve 4, an actuating assembly, and an end cover 7.

[0033] The overall shape of the valve housing 2 is generally configured as a cylindrical shape. In other embodiments, the overall shape of the valve housing 2 can also be configured as a polygonal housing; a stepped counterbore is formed at one axial end port of the valve housing 2 as a mounting hole, and a first oil passage is opened on the side wall of the valve housing 2, so that the first oil passage can communicate with the mounting hole through the internal space of the valve housing 2. The first oil passage can be configured as a circular hole. Among them, the axis of the first oil passage can be set perpendicular to the axis of the mounting hole. In other embodiments, the axis of the first oil passage can also form a certain angle with the axis of the mounting hole.

[0034] The main valve 4 is movably arranged in the valve housing 2, which means that the main valve 4 can move inside the valve housing 2, such as sliding, rotating, rolling, etc.

[0035] The actuating assembly is connected to the valve housing 2, and the actuating assembly is used to drive the main valve 4 to move in the valve housing 2.

[0036] The end cover 7 has a second oil passage. The end cover 7 is arranged in the mounting hole so that the first oil passage communicates with the second oil passage through the inner space of the valve housing 2. The end cover 7 is sealingly connected to the hole wall of the mounting hole. The axis of the second oil passage coincides with the axis of the mounting hole. Among them, an end cover pin 8 with an axis coinciding with or parallel to the extending direction of the second oil passage is arranged on the end cover 7. A control element 5 is sleeved on the end cover pin 8. In actual implementation, the end cover pin 8 is coaxial with the second oil passage. A radial connecting rod can be arranged in the second oil passage for the end cover pin 8 to connect. The cross-sectional shape of the control element 5 is similar to the cross-sectional shape of the second oil passage. From the axial view of the second oil passage, the cross-sectional area of the control element 5 is larger than the cross-sectional area of the second oil passage so that the control element 5 can block the port of the second oil passage. Usually, the second oil passage is configured as a circular channel. Therefore, the control element 5 can be configured as a corresponding disc shape. An elastic element 6 is arranged between the control element 5 and the end cover 7 so that the control element 5 is away from the second oil passage to form an initial opening, that is, the elastic action of the elastic element is between the end cover and the control element. Thus, when the main valve 4 moves, it can drive the control element 5 to slide on the end cover pin 8 to close the second oil passage.

[0037] For the damping control valve provided by the embodiment of the present application, the size of the fluid entering the first oil passage from the second oil passage depends on the distance between the control element 5 and the port of the second oil passage in the extending direction of the second oil passage. The control is realized by driving the control element 5 through the main valve 4. Through the arrangement of the end cover pin 8, the control element 5, the elastic element 6 and the end cover 7 can form an integral body. The matching accuracy, assembly dimensions and sealing performance during contact of the control element 5 and the second oil passage on the end cover 7 can be carried out outside the valve housing 2, greatly improving the convenience. The end cover 7 and the control element 5 can be used as an assembly to cooperate with the mounting hole on the valve housing 2 through the end cover 7, improving the assembly efficiency, not easily making mistakes during the assembly process, and reducing the assembly difficulty.

[0038] For the damping control valve provided by the embodiment of the present application, the arrangement of the end cover pin 8 can provide a guiding function for the movement of the control element 5, ensure that the control element 5 has good attitude stability during the movement process, and reduce the risk of the control element 5 getting stuck on the end cover pin 8.

[0039] In some alternative embodiments, the first oil passage is configured as multiple and evenly distributed along the circumference.

[0040] In some alternative embodiments, a limiting portion 802 is constructed on the end cover pin 8 to limit the sliding of the control element 5 on the end cover pin 8 in a single direction.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, the limiting portion 802 on the end cover pin 8 can prevent the control element 5 from slipping off the end cover pin 8 and can prevent the control element 5 from falling off the end cover 7 during the assembly process, which is beneficial to improving the assembly convenience.

[0042] The type of the elastic element 6 between the control element 5 and the end cover 7 can be various, such as a shrapnel, a spring, an elastic material block, etc. In order to reduce the manufacturing difficulty and ensure the stable elastic force output of the elastic element 6, in some alternative embodiments, the elastic element 6 is configured as a helical spring and sleeved on the end cover pin 8.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present application, the elastic element 6 is arranged on the end cover pin 8 in a sleeved manner, which can ensure the stable movement posture of the elastic element 6 and prevent the elastic element 6 from coming off or breaking during the operation of the valve body.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, the length of the end cover pin 8 is configured such that when the control element 5 abuts against the limiting portion 802, there is a gap between the control element 5 and the main valve 4, that is, there is no elastic force acting on the main valve 4 from the elastic element 6. That is to say, when the main valve 4 is in the initial position in an uncontrolled state, there is a gap between the main valve 4 and the control element 5. At this time, the control element 5 is maintained in a state based on the elastic force of the elastic element 6, and the gap between the control element 5 and the main valve 4 can accommodate the fluid medium. When there is a certain pressure difference between the fluid media on both sides of the control element 5, the control element 5 has a movement mode that can slide towards the end cover 7.

[0045] In some alternative embodiments, in the working state, when the control element 5 contacts the main valve 4, there is a distance between the control element 5 and the limiting portion 802, that is, the elastic force of the elastic element 6 is transmitted to the main valve 4 through the control element 5. Among them, the contact between the control element 5 and the main valve 4 is a sealed contact. That is to say, in the working state, the pressure received by the control element 5 from the fluid medium is unilateral. At this time, the channel size of the second oil passage is controlled by the coordinated adjustment of the elastic element 6 and the main valve 4, that is, the channel size of the second oil passage is controlled by the movement of the main valve 4.

[0046] Through the above two configurations of the length of the end cover pin 8, diversified damping performance can be achieved.

[0047] The movement mode of the main valve 4 in the valve housing 2 is diverse, as long as it can drive the control element 5 to act during the movement process. Considering the structural simplicity and assembly convenience, in some alternative embodiments, the main valve 4 is in sliding fit with the valve housing 2. Among them, the main valve 4 has a sliding direction parallel or coincident with the extension direction of the second oil passage. In actual implementation, the sliding direction of the main valve 4 coincides with the axis of the second oil passage, that is, it means that the main valve 4 slides axially along the valve housing 2 under the drive of the action component to drive the control element 5 to elastically slide on the end cover pin 8.

[0048] In some alternative embodiments, the actuating assembly includes an actuating member 3 and a driving member 1; the actuating member 3 is slidably engaged with the valve housing 2 and contacts the main valve 4 to drive the main valve 4 to move within the valve housing 2. Specifically, the actuating member 3 includes a controlled portion and a push rod. The push rod is movably inserted through the valve housing 2, and the axis of the push rod can be configured to coincide with the axis of the valve housing 2. The controlled portion is cooperated with the driving member 1 through the holding housing 9, wherein the holding housing 9 is relatively fixed to the valve housing 2. The holding housing 9 can be directly fixedly cooperated with the valve housing 2, or can be cooperated with the valve housing 2 through the driving member 1 to make the holding housing 9 and the valve housing 2 relatively fixed. An activity groove is formed on the holding housing 9. The controlled portion is connected to the push rod and is located in the activity groove. The controlled portion can freely slide in the activity groove. A return elastic member can be configured between the controlled portion and the valve housing 2. The controlled portion has a sliding tendency under the elastic force of the return elastic member, so that the controlled portion can maintain its position in the initial state in the activity groove; the driving member 1 is in transmission cooperation with the actuating member 3 to drive the actuating member 3 to slide within the valve housing 2. In actual implementation, the driving member 1 can include an electromagnetic control portion and a protective housing. The protective housing is fixedly cooperated with the valve housing 2, wherein the holding housing 9 is located within the protective housing, and the electromagnetic control portion is located outside the holding housing 9 and is connected / cooperated with the protective housing. The electromagnetic control portion can drive the controlled portion to slide in the activity groove in the energized state, so that the push rod can drive the main valve 4 to slide within the valve housing 2, and then the main valve 4 drives the control element 5 to elastically slide on the end cap pin 8.

[0049] When assembling the damping control valve, the control valve is divided into two parts. One part is the actuating assembly, the valve housing 2, and the main valve 4, and the other part is the end cap 7 and the control element 5. After assembling the actuating assembly, the valve housing 2, and the main valve 4, first assemble the control element 5 and the end cap 7, that is, sleeved the control element 5 on the working portion 801 of the end cap pin 8, and then sleeved the elastic element 6 on the working portion 801 of the end cap pin 8. Due to the existence of the limiting portion 802 on the end cap pin 8, the elastic element 6 and the control element 5 will not fall off the end cap pin 8. Then fixedly connect the end cap pin 8 with the end cap 7, and regard the control element 5 and the end cap 7 as a sub-assembly, and complete the assembly work of the entire control valve by the cooperation of the end cap 7 and the valve housing 2; it can be seen from the foregoing assembly process that in the damping control valve of the embodiment of the present application, the assembly accuracy of the control element 5 and the end cap 7 can be carried out outside the valve housing 2. The attitude of the control element 5 on the end cap 7 is stable and will not shake randomly during the assembly process of the end cap 7 and the valve housing 2. This will be beneficial to the positioning of the end cap 7 and the valve housing 2, reduce the assembly difficulty, the assembly accuracy of the end cap 7 and the valve housing 2 is easy to control, the assembly accuracy between the main valve 4 and the valve housing 2 is easy to control, and the attitude of the control element 5 on the end cap 7 is stable. Therefore, after the end cap 7 and the valve housing 2 are assembled, there is also good assembly accuracy between the control element 5 and the main valve 4, so that the system reliability of the control valve is guaranteed; the entire process does not perform positioning, calibration, etc. within the valve housing 2, and the assembly difficulty is greatly reduced.

[0050] During operation, if the length of the end cover pin 8 is relatively long, that is, there is still a gap between the control element 5 and the limiting portion 802 when the elastic element 6 is in the natural state. After the end cover 7 and the valve housing 2 are fitted together, the control element 5 can be in sealing contact with the main valve 4 in the uncontrolled initial position. At this time, the elastic element 6 is compressed, which means that the control element 5 is held against the main valve 4 by the elastic element 6. When the electromagnetic control part is energized, the controlled part slides in the moving groove, and the ejector rod holds the main valve 4 to slide in the valve housing 2. The main valve 4 holds the control element 5 to make the control element 5 elastically slide on the end cover pin 8. At this time, the distance between the control element 5 and the second oil passage becomes smaller, and the size of the passage between the second oil passage and the first oil passage becomes smaller, so as to realize the adjustment of the size of the oil passage; when the electromagnetic control part is de-energized, the elastic element 6 provides an elastic force to the control element 5, and the control element 5 slides on the end cover pin 8 in the direction of the limiting portion 802. During the sliding process, the control element 5 always abuts against the main valve 4, which means that during the whole adjustment process, the size of the oil passage is adjusted by the fluid medium pressure in the second oil passage, the elastic force of the elastic element 6, and the electromagnetic force of the electromagnetic control part.

[0051] If the length of the end cover pin 8 is relatively short, that is, when the control element 5 contacts the limiting portion 802, the elastic element 6 is in a compressed state, which means that the elastic element 6 holds the control element 5 against the limiting portion 802. When the main valve 4 is in the uncontrolled initial position, there is a gap between the main valve 4 and the control element 5, that is, the main valve 4 and the control element 5 are separated; after the fluid medium flows from the A side to the B side of the control valve, the fluid medium can enter between the control element 5 and the main valve 4 through the gap. At this time, the movement of the control element 5 depends on the hydraulic pressure exerted on it by the fluid medium on both sides of the control element 5 and the elastic force provided by the elastic element 6, which means that the size of the fluid medium flow passage is in the self-adjustment mode. When it is necessary to reduce the fluid flow passage, the electromagnetic control part is energized, and the main valve 4 overcomes the fluid medium pressure and is in sealing contact with the control element 5, and then drives the control element 5 to elastically slide on the end cover pin 8 to reduce the size of the fluid flow passage.
