Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of shock absorbers, in particular to an adjusting structure of an adjustable damping shock absorber. Background Art

[0002] Shock absorbers, a core component of a vehicle, are used to dampen the shock of rebound after springs absorb shock, as well as impact from the road. While the shock-absorbing springs filter out road vibrations when driving over uneven surfaces, the springs themselves still experience reciprocating motion, and the shock absorbers are designed to dampen this spring bouncing. If the shock absorbers are too soft, the vehicle body will bounce up and down, while if they are too hard, they will create excessive resistance, hindering the proper functioning of the springs. Thus, shock absorbers effectively mitigate vibrations during vehicle operation.

[0003] The damping adjustment of the shock absorber is mainly achieved by adjusting the circulation volume of the internal hydraulic oil. Generally, a thimble is provided in the middle of the pull rod. The thimble moves back and forth relative to the pull rod to adjust the flow aperture of the plug and the flow volume of the circulating hydraulic oil. Due to the angle limit of the shock absorber after installation, the operating space for damping adjustment is limited. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0025] See also Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, in the embodiment of the present invention, an adjustment structure of an adjustable damping shock absorber is proposed, which is applied to the shock absorber to adjust the sliding of the ejector pin 2, thereby realizing the adjustment of the internal hydraulic oil flow rate and the damping adjustment. The other structural structures of the shock absorber are all existing technologies, and the adjustment structure proposed in this embodiment can be integrated into the shock absorber. Specifically, it includes a hollow pull rod 1 and an ejector pin 2 slidingly arranged in the hollow pull rod 1, a plug 3 is provided in front of one end of the hollow pull rod 1, a first through hole 30 connected to the hollow pull rod 1 is opened on the plug 3, and a second through hole 101 connected to the inside of the hollow pull rod 1 is provided on the hollow pull rod 1. The plug 3 of the hydraulic oil flow channel inside and outside the hollow pull rod 1 is realized through the first through hole 30 and the second through hole 101, and the distance between the ejector pin 2 and the plug 3 is adjusted to realize the hydraulic oil flow rate adjustment.

[0026] Specifically, a joint 4 is connected to the other end of the hollow pull rod 1, and the joint 4 is provided with an adjusting chamber 40. A wedge block 5 is slidably installed in the adjusting chamber 40. The wedge block 5 is provided with a wedge surface 50 that abuts the end of the ejector pin 2. The wedge surface 50 is inclined downward from the side of the ejector pin 2 to the side of the adjusting chamber 40. At the same time, a rotation adjustment component 6 is also provided in the adjusting chamber 40. The rotation adjustment component 6 is located below the wedge block 5. The rotation adjustment component 6 is threadedly connected to the wedge block 5. The movement of the wedge block 5 in the adjusting chamber 40 is driven by the rotation adjustment component 6. When the wedge block 5 is driven to move toward the outside of the adjusting chamber 40, the wedge surface 50 pushes the ejector pin 2 to slide toward the plug 3, thereby realizing damping increase adjustment. When the wedge block 5 is pushed to move toward the inside of the adjusting chamber 40, the ejector pin 2 is pushed by the internal hydraulic oil until it abuts on the wedge surface 50, thereby realizing damping reduction adjustment.

[0027] In order to further guide and limit the sliding process of the wedge block 5, a sliding hole 41 is provided in the adjustment cavity 40, and a sliding portion 51 is provided on the wedge block 5 to extend into the sliding hole 41. When the wedge block 5 moves relative to the adjustment cavity 40, the sliding portion 51 slides in the sliding hole 41 to achieve limiting guidance.

[0028] Specifically, in order to facilitate the cooperation between the ejector pin 2 and the plug 3 to achieve sealing, a conical head is provided at one end of the ejector pin 2 close to the plug 3 so that the conical head can be inserted into the plug 3.

[0029] Specifically, the rotation adjustment assembly 6 includes an adjustment seat 61 fixed on the adjustment cavity 40, and a rotating block 62 is rotatably mounted on the adjustment seat 61. The rotating block 62 is provided with an adjustment rod 63, and the adjustment rod 63 is threadedly engaged with the wedge block 5. The rotating block 62 rotates with the adjustment rod 63, and the adjustment rod 63 is threadedly engaged with the wedge block 5. The wedge block 5 is limited to slide relative to the adjustment cavity 40, thereby realizing the reciprocating movement drive action of the wedge block 5.

[0030] In order to facilitate the rotation adjustment of the rotating block 62 , a groove 68 is provided on the end surface of the rotating block 62 located on the opening side of the adjustment cavity 40 . The groove 68 may be a straight groove or a cross groove.

[0031] At the same time, a fastening screw 10 for locking the adjustment seat 61 and a set screw 11 for limiting the rotation of the adjustment seat 61 are provided on the joint 4. The axis of the set screw 11 is eccentrically arranged relative to the center of the adjustment seat 61. The adjustment seat 61 is fixed in the joint 4 by the fastening screw 10, and the adjustment seat 61 is further stopped by the eccentrically arranged set screw 11, thereby ensuring that the adjustment seat 61 can be stably installed in the joint 4 and remains fixed without rotation, thereby facilitating the rotation support of the rotating block 62.

[0032] At the same time, a limiting notch 64 is provided on the rotating block 62, and a spring 65 is provided in the limiting notch 64. One end of the spring 65 is connected to the side wall of the limiting notch 64, and the other end is connected to the steel ball 66; an annular gear groove 67 is provided on the adjusting seat 61, and the spring 65 pushes the steel ball 66 to abut against the gear groove 67. The steel ball 66 is kept in abutment against the gear groove 67 by the action of the spring 65, thereby realizing the limitation of the rotating block 62 after rotation. Due to the use of threaded fitting and combined with the stop, a sliding lock can be formed for the wedge block 5 to ensure that there will be no change after the damping adjustment is completed.

[0033] In order to avoid possible leakage of internal hydraulic oil, a first sealing ring 7 is provided between the ejector pin 2 and the hollow pull rod 1, a second sealing ring 8 is provided between the adjustment seat 61 and the adjustment chamber 40, and a third sealing ring 9 is provided between the rotating block 62 and the adjustment seat 61. Effective sealing is achieved by arranging sealing rings at multiple positions.
