DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention and the accompanying drawings to further describe the technical solution of the present invention, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0022] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the high-buffer shock absorber includes a base 100, a front fork tube 200 and a rear sleeve 300. A cylindrical groove 110 with an opening facing upward is provided in the center of the base 100. The front fork tube 200 is inserted into the cylindrical groove 110 from top to bottom. The rear sleeve 300 is sleeved on the upper end of the front fork tube 200 and can move up and down along it.
[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, a heightening gasket 111 is installed at the bottom of the cylindrical groove 110 of the base 100, and the front fork tube 200 is inserted close to the inner wall of the cylindrical groove 110 until the upper surface of the heightening gasket 111. The height of the front fork tube 200 is raised by the heightening gasket 111, so that the buffer distance of the rear sleeve 300 after moving toward the base 100 and reaching the lowest point is longer, thereby avoiding friction and collision with the base 100 when it is too close.
[0024] The front fork tube 200 is provided with a plug 220 at the bottom port to seal itself. The overall structure of the plug 220 is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and the bottom surface of the thick end is in contact with the raised gasket 111. An O-ring is installed between the outer wall and the inner wall of the front fork tube 200 to enhance the sealing. The thin end is located inside the front fork tube 200, and a hydraulic tube 210 is provided on the outside that is coaxially installed with the front fork tube 200. The bottom end of the hydraulic tube 210 rests on the step between the thick and thin ends of the plug 220.
[0025] The base 100 has a screw hole 120 extending from bottom to top, connected to the cylindrical slot 110. Screw hole 120 is tapered at the top and wide at the bottom, housing a hexagon socket screw 121. The screw 121 passes through the screw hole 120 and the height-increasing washer 111, extending from bottom to top, before finally entering the bottom of the plug 220 and securing it there. This hexagon socket screw 121 securely connects the base 100, height-increasing washer 111, and front fork tube 200. A copper washer 122 is installed between the head of the hexagon socket screw 121 and the top surface of the thick end of the screw hole 120. This provides a better seal, ensuring a tight connection between the hexagon socket screw 121 and the base 100.
[0026] A compression valve system 230 is located at the top of plug 220. This system includes a piston ring 231, a compression spring 232, a saddle-shaped spring washer 233, and a piston locking screw 234. Piston ring 231 primarily performs sealing, oil control, heat conduction, and guidance functions. An O-ring is installed between piston ring 231 and the inner wall of hydraulic pipe 210 to further enhance sealing. Compression spring 232 is a pagoda-shaped spring that is larger at the top and smaller at the bottom. It is a special shock-absorbing spring characterized by its small size, high load capacity, and variable stiffness. It is the primary component of compression valve system 230, providing shock absorption and buffering. Saddle-shaped spring washer 233 provides upper and lower bearing surfaces for compression spring 232 and piston locking screw 234, effectively preventing loosening. Piston locking screw 234 passes through the centers of saddle-shaped spring washer 233, compression spring 232, and piston ring 231, sequentially from top to bottom, with its bottom end extending into the top of plug 220 and securely connected thereto.
[0027] The provision of the compression valve system 230 prevents the hydraulic oil in the hydraulic pipe 210 from directly impacting the plug 220 during shock absorber operation, thereby preventing loosening and oil leakage. Furthermore, since the hydraulic oil will instantly form a very high peak pressure due to inertia during impact, causing component vibration and noise, the compression valve system 230 can effectively reduce shock during hydraulic impact, thereby improving operational comfort and stability.
[0028] Further, a valve plate assembly 221 is installed between the bottom of the piston ring 231 and the plug 220. This valve plate assembly 221 primarily controls the flow of the medium, reducing its pressure and preventing backflow. A decorative indicator sleeve 240 is mounted above the cylindrical groove 110 of the base 100 and on the outside of the front fork tube 200. This not only provides a decorative aesthetic but also serves as an indicator ring for the bottom travel of the rear sleeve 300 during its vertical movement, facilitating the determination of changes in internal hydraulic pressure.
[0029] A piston rod 310 is positioned at the center of the rear sleeve 300. A main spring 320 is coaxially positioned within the rear sleeve 300 around the piston rod 310. A bulkhead 330 is provided at the top of the rear sleeve 300 to seal it. A spring seat 321 is positioned between the top of the main spring 320 and the bottom of the bulkhead 330. The spring seat 321 is a saddle-shaped structure, with its upper end resting against the bottom of the bulkhead 330 and its lower end positioned within the main spring 320. A spring liner 322 is positioned within the main spring 320 below the spring seat 321, surrounding the outer side of the piston rod 310. This liner 322 reduces friction and wear on the piston rod 310, providing support and absorbing vibration. A first rubber cushion 323 is positioned at the bottom of the spring liner 322, surrounding the piston rod 310, to further enhance shock absorption and cushioning.
[0030] The bulkhead 330 is thicker at the top and narrower at the bottom. It protrudes upward and outward from the top surface of the rear sleeve 300 to form a cap-like seal. The top of the piston rod 310 extends into the bottom of the thin end of the bulkhead 330 and is fixed to it. A pointed set screw 333 is installed on the side of the thin end of the bulkhead 330, extending from the side toward the center to fix it to the top of the piston rod 310, allowing the rear sleeve 300 and the piston rod 310 to move up and down together. A second cushioning pad 331 is mounted on the outer wall of the bottom of the thin end of the bulkhead 330 to further provide shock absorption and cushioning. A limiting washer 332 is provided between the second cushioning pad 331 and the pointed set screw 333 to limit and secure the pointed set screw 333.
[0031] An O-ring is installed between the outer wall of the butt end of the bulkhead 330 and the inner wall of the top of the rear sleeve 300 to strengthen the tightness of the connection between the bulkhead 330 and the rear sleeve 300. An adjustment slot 334 is provided at the top, in which the adjustment head 340 is mounted. The adjustment head 340 is sealed between the top of the bulkhead 330 by a gland 345. O-rings are also installed between the outer wall of the top of the adjustment head 340 and the inner wall of the gland 345, and between the outer wall of the gland 345 and the top sidewall of the adjustment slot 334 to prevent loosening and ensure a tight seal.
[0032] The adjusting head 340 has an annular protrusion formed below the pressure cap 345. The outer side of the annular protrusion has a center-facing receiving hole. A directional adjustment spring 343 and a steel ball 344 are installed in the hole from the inside out. Under the elastic force of the directional adjustment spring 343, the steel ball 344 rests against the inner wall of the adjusting slot 334. The inner wall of the adjusting slot 334 has corresponding grooves, facilitating the adjustment and rotation of the adjusting head 340 according to actual needs. A preload adjustment nut 341 is sleeved below the annular protrusion of the adjusting head 340 to preload the adjusting head 340. Several cylindrical pins 342 are vertically arranged around the outer circumference of the adjusting head 340, between the preload adjustment nut 341 and the bottom of the adjusting slot 334. These cylindrical pins 342 provide support and vibration transmission, thereby increasing the bearing strength.
