Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a magnetorheological damper, in particular to a magnetorheological damper with a built-in permanent magnetic piston. Background Art

[0002] Magnetorheological dampers generate a damping force that is responsive and highly controllable. The magnetorheological fluid injected into the damper's sealed chamber transforms rapidly from a liquid to a semi-solid state under the influence of a magnetic field. Because this physical property transition is controlled by the magnetic field, it offers highly controllable properties. They hold great promise for development in the automotive shock absorption field.

[0003] The currently designed magnetorheological damper only has three sealed chambers formed by an excitation piston and a floating piston. There are fewer sealed chambers and the buffering effect is average. In addition, the current magnetorheological damper only has an excitation coil arranged inside the excitation piston, which forms a weak magnetic field and makes it difficult to fully exert the physical properties of the magnetorheological fluid inside the entire sealed chamber. In the field of automobile shock absorption, the main function is to enhance the shock absorption effect when encountering rough roads, that is, the damping effect when the magnetorheological damper is compressed. The currently designed magnetorheological damper has no obvious difference in the damping force when the piston rod is compressed and stretched, that is, the shock absorption effect in the field of automobile shock absorption is not outstanding.

[0004] Therefore, designing a magnetorheological damper with an effective structure, simple processing, large damping force when the piston rod is compressed, and easy to express the damping force is a prerequisite for further expanding the application of magnetorheological dampers in the field of automotive shock absorption. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the problems existing in the background technology and meet the practical use requirements of magnetorheological dampers, the present invention proposes a magnetorheological damper with a built-in permanent magnet piston. A permanent magnet piston is added to the conventional damper piston, so that the magnetorheological damper with a built-in permanent magnet piston has three magnetorheological fluid sealed chambers, namely sealed chamber I, sealed chamber II and sealed chamber III. At the same time, an air-filled chamber IV is provided at the floating piston, which effectively increases the buffering level of the magnetorheological damper. Secondly, the permanent magnet placed in the permanent magnet piston and the permanent magnet ring form a mutually repulsive magnetic field. During the compression process of the magnetorheological damper, the mutually repulsive magnetic field generates a mutually repulsive damping force, which greatly enhances the damping effect of the magnetorheological damper. In terms of space utilization: the permanent magnet piston also greatly expands the control of the magnetic field inside the magnetorheological damper, achieving the effect of fully utilizing the physical properties of the magnetorheological fluid inside the sealed chamber during shock absorption; making the performance of the magnetorheological damper more stable and the dynamic adjustment range of the damping force larger; it is particularly suitable for shock absorption systems in the automotive industry.

[0007] Compared with the background technology, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0008] The magnetorheological damper of the utility model forms four sealed chambers by embedding a permanent magnetic piston (21) in a piston rod (1). The permanent magnetic piston (21) separates a sealed chamber I and a sealed chamber II, thereby increasing a buffer chamber, strengthening the buffer space of the damper when it is compressed, and greatly enhancing the damping effect.

[0009] The magnetorheological damper of the utility model forms a repulsive magnetic field with a permanent magnet ring (23) by placing a permanent magnet (20) inside a permanent magnet piston (21). When the magnetorheological damper is compressed, a repulsive damping force is formed between the repulsive magnetic fields, thereby effectively improving the damping effect.

[0010] Compared with traditional magnetorheological dampers, the damper of the utility model optimizes its internal structure without changing the space occupied by the magnetorheological damper, amplifies its effective magnetic field in the limited space inside the magnetorheological damper, and especially enhances the damping effect of the magnetorheological damper when it is compressed, making the damping adjustment range longer, and is particularly suitable for shock absorption systems in the automotive industry.

[0015] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the utility model comprises: a piston rod (1), a sealing ring I (2), a screw I (3), a screw II (4), a sealing ring III (5), an excitation coil (6), an excitation piston (7), a screw III (8), an excitation piston right end cover (9), a nut (10), a floating piston (11), a sealing ring V (12), a right lifting ear (13), a damper right end cover (14), a screw IV (15), a sealing ring IV (16), a damper cylinder (17), an excitation piston left end cover (18), a sealing ring II (19), a permanent magnet (20), a permanent magnet piston (21), a magnetic isolation plate (22), a permanent magnet ring (23), a damper left end cover (24) and and a left hanging ear (25), wherein the permanent magnet piston (21), the excitation piston (7), and the floating piston (11) divide the interior of the damper into three magnetorheological fluid sealed chambers, namely, sealed chamber I, sealed chamber II, and sealed chamber III. At the same time, there is an air-filled sealed chamber IV at the floating piston (11), and the magnetorheological fluid is filled in the magnetorheological fluid sealed chamber.

The air-filled sealed chamber serves as a compensating sealed chamber of the floating piston (11) and has a buffering effect.

When the piston rod is compressed, its built-in permanent magnet piston is simultaneously driven to move toward the inner surface of the left end cover of the damper, thereby bringing the N pole of the permanent magnet and the N pole of the permanent magnet ring closer to each other, that is, the mutually repulsive magnetic fields approach each other. When the two mutually repulsive magnetic fields approach each other, a repulsive damping force is generated.

The center is processed with an internal thread for tight connection with the piston rod, and the lead hole K is a lead hole.
