[0002] A shock absorber is an important part of an automobile suspension, and its main function is to eliminate the vibration caused by road bumps.

Traditional shock absorbers have only fixed damping characteristics and cannot be adjusted in real time, while the application of pilot solenoid valves can increase the damping characteristics, form an adjustable damping characteristic field, and improve the comfort and safety of the vehicle. In the current technology, when the pilot valve seat and the pilot valve core are matched, a circumferential and end face seal is adopted to form a throttling effect, thereby realizing linear control of the liquid.

[0027] On the basis of Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, a central large hole 24 is perforated through the main control seat 6, a small hole 25 is perforated through the main control end 7, a mating hole 26 is provided at one end of the piston sleeve 16 close to the piston rod 18, the mating hole 26 is located on the moving path of the piston rod 18, a flow-through hole 27 communicating with the mating hole 26 is provided on the side wall of the piston sleeve 16, the main control seat 6 and the main control end 7 contact to form a first throttling surface, the piston rod 18 and the mating hole 26 cooperate to form a second throttling surface, the main valve sleeve assembly 23 further includes a spring limiting seat 19, the spring limiting seat 19 is fixedly arranged circumferentially in the main control sleeve 4, a diversion hole 30 is perforated through the spring limiting seat 19, the piston sleeve 16 is located between the spring limiting seat 19 and the main control end 7, the piston rod 18 slidably penetrates through the spring limiting seat 19, and the spring limiting seat 19 is used to guide the piston rod 18. The main valve sleeve assembly 23 further includes a regulating seat 21, the regulating seat 21 is assembled in the main control sleeve 4 with a clearance, the regulating seat 21 is arranged close to the electromagnet assembly 22, and the spring limiting seat 19 is located between the piston sleeve 16 and the regulating seat 21. A secondary spring 20 is arranged between the spring limiting seat 19 and the regulating seat 21. A side flow hole 31 is perforated through the regulating seat 21. The piston sleeve 16 has a stepped shaft structure, and a gasket 17 is fixedly sleeved at one end of the piston sleeve 16 close to the main control end 7. A main spring 8 is arranged between the gasket 17 and the main control end 7. A main control seat gasket 5 is arranged between the main control seat 6 and the main control sleeve 4. A side flow-through hole 32 is provided on the side wall of the main control sleeve 4, and the side flow-through hole 32 is located between the main control seat 6 and the main control end 7. The electromagnet assembly 22 includes a housing 2 and an inlay 14. The housing 2 is assembled at one end of the coil assembly 1, the inlay 14 is press-fitted in the housing 2 with an interference fit, a sealing ring 15 is arranged between the inlay 14 and the housing 2, an installation step is formed in the inlay 14, one end of the main control sleeve 4 away from the main control seat 6 is fixedly assembled in the inlay 14, a diversion gap is formed between one end of the main control sleeve 4 away from the main control seat 6 and the installation step, a diversion channel 33 is formed between the outer wall of the main control sleeve 4 and the inner wall of the inlay 14, and the diversion channel 33 communicates with the diversion gap. The regulating seat 21 opens or closes the diversion gap by moving; the piston rod 18 and the piston sleeve 16 achieve the first sealing, the regulating seat 21 and the main control sleeve 4 achieve the second end face sealing. The original method of guiding the piston rod 18 through a spring is changed to guiding through the spring limiting seat 19. The mating surface between the spring limiting seat 19 and the piston rod 18 is lengthened, the guiding surface is longer, the movement is more stable, the assembly is simple, the processing difficulty is reduced, the performance is more stable, it is convenient for mass production, and the cost is reduced; secondly, the processing difficulty of parts is reduced, the assembly is more convenient than before. After canceling the spring, the difference in performance consistency caused by the instability of the spring force is eliminated, and the performance consistency of the product is better.The specific operation process of the above-mentioned pilot valve is as follows: When the current is 0A, the liquid flows into from the central large hole 24 of the main control seat 6, enters between the main control seat 6 and the main control end 7, and the liquid pressure acting on the end face of the main control end 7 pushes the main control end 7 towards the piston sleeve 16. The liquid between the piston sleeve 16 and the main control end 7 enters the mating hole 26 from the flow-through hole 27 on the outer circle of the piston sleeve 16. The internal liquid pressure acts on the piston rod 18 and pushes the piston rod 18 towards the spring limit seat 19. At the same time, due to the clearance fit between the piston rod 18 and the inner hole of the piston sleeve 16, the liquid flows from the clearance between the piston rod 18 and the inner wall of the piston sleeve 16, enters between the control seat 21 and the spring limit seat 20 through the diversion hole 30 of the spring limit seat 19. The liquid pressure acts on the end face of the control seat 21 and pushes the control seat 21 towards the limit seat 10 until the bottom surface of the large end face of the control seat 21 fits with the end face of the limit seat 10, closing the diversion gap at the bottom of the main control sleeve 4. At this time, the performance of the valve assembly shows that the pressure and flow rate are in the middle state of the adjustable range, forming 0A protection.

[0028] When the coil assembly 1 is energized, the driving shaft 11 is pushed by the electromagnetic force towards the limit seat 10. After the driving shaft 11 contacts the control seat 21, the electromagnetic force further drives the control seat 21 towards the spring limit seat 19. At the same time, the control seat 21 pushes the piston rod 18 towards the piston sleeve 16, and the flow-through gap between the two gradually decreases, and the flow rate gradually decreases. At this time, affected by the liquid pressure, the liquid pressure on the side of the piston rod 18 close to the spring limit seat 19 increases and is greater than the liquid pressure at the oil inlet of the piston rod 18 close to the piston sleeve 16, pushing the piston rod 18 towards the oil inlet of the piston sleeve 16. The flow-through area of the oil inlet of the piston sleeve 16 gradually decreases, thereby affecting the increase in the liquid pressure of the main control end 7 close to the piston sleeve 16. After the liquid pressure is superimposed with the spring force of the main spring 8, the superimposed force is greater than the pressure at the oil inlet of the main control seat 6 on the main control end 7, pushing the main control end 7 towards the main control seat 6, and the flow-through gap between the two gradually decreases, and the flow rate gradually decreases, forming a linear regulation. When the current of the coil assembly 1 decreases, this process moves in the reverse direction, and the flow rate gradually increases until it reaches the 0A state.

[0029] Embodiment 3

[0030] On the basis of Embodiment 2, as Figure 1 and Figure 7As shown, the electromagnet assembly 22 further includes a guide bearing 13, an iron core 12, a drive shaft 11, and a limit seat 10. The guide bearing 13, the iron core 12, and the limit seat 10 are fixedly assembled in sequence along the direction close to the regulation seat 21. One end of the drive shaft 11 slides through the guide bearing 13, the iron core 12 in sequence and contacts the regulation seat 21 through the limit seat 10. A limit seat bearing 9 is provided between the drive shaft 11 and the limit seat 10. An outer shell seal ring 3 is sleeved on the outer shell 2. The coil assembly 1, according to the current input by external control, forms a magnetic circuit between the inlay 14 on the outer shell 2, the magnetic core 12, and the guide bearing 13. The movement away of the electromagnet here is prior art and will not be elaborated here. By magnetic force, the drive shaft 11 on the magnetic core 12 is pushed to move, forming a controllable flow pressure regulation mechanism.
