[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a piston for a clutch master cylinder includes a piston body 1. The piston body 1 is an integrally molded structure. The piston body 1 is formed into an integral structure by injecting material into a mold, thereby ensuring that the piston body 1 is sufficiently stable during use. The top of the piston body 1 is provided with an annular groove 12, and a rubber ring 2 is provided inside the annular groove 12. A spring 3 is provided at the top of the piston body 1. The annular groove 12 facilitates the installation of the rubber ring 2 and the spring 3, thereby ensuring a seal between the piston body 1 and the piston cylinder, while also ensuring that the spring 3 is stably connected to the piston body 1. The bottom end of the spring 3 is engaged with the top of the annular groove 12, and the bottom end of the spring 3 is in contact with the top of the rubber ring 2. The spring 3 and the piston body 1 are detachably connected. This structure ensures that the spring 3 can be removed, and also allows the spring 3 to be stably used in conjunction with the piston body 1.

[0023] like Figure 2 As shown, the piston body 1 is made of nylon and glass fiber. This structure can make the piston body 1 lightweight while ensuring the strength of the piston body 1, so that the piston body 1 can be used stably, and the piston body 1 has a certain toughness. A plurality of reinforcing rods 11 are evenly arranged in the middle of the side of the piston body 1 to enhance the strength of the piston body 1 and avoid the problem of the piston body 1 being prone to breakage. Two limiting openings 13 are symmetrically arranged above the ring groove 12 on the side of the piston body 1. The limiting openings 13 are convenient for matching with the spring 3 to limit the spring 3 and ensure that the spring 3 is stably connected to the piston body 1. A connector 14 is provided at the bottom of the piston body 1, and an arc-shaped groove 15 is provided on the bottom surface of the connector 14. The connector 14 cooperates with the arc-shaped groove 15 to facilitate connection with the rod that pushes the piston body 1, thereby facilitating the rod to push the piston body 1 to move when the clutch is stepped on.

[0024] like Figure 3As shown, a plurality of sealing rings 21 are provided on the side of the rubber ring 2 from top to bottom, which are used to seal the gap between the piston body 1 and the piston cylinder. A sleeve hole 22 is provided in the middle of the rubber ring 2, and the sleeve hole 22 is sleeved on the inner side of the ring groove 12; this structure facilitates the stable installation of the rubber ring 2 inside the ring groove 12, and at the same time, the rubber ring 2 can also seal the gap between the piston body 1 and the inner side of the piston cylinder.

[0025] like Figure 4 As shown, the bottom end of the spring 3 is connected to a clamp 31. The clamp 31 is an open ring structure, which facilitates the smooth engagement of the bottom of the spring 3 with the top of the piston body 1. Disassembly holes 32 are provided at both ends of the clamp 31. The disassembly holes 32 are used to cooperate with a disassembly tool to open the clamp 31 to facilitate installation or removal of the clamp 31.

[0026] Working Principle: During use, the rubber ring 2 is placed inside the annular groove 12 at the top of the piston body 1. The clamp 31 at the bottom of the spring 3 is then engaged with the annular groove 12. The piston body 1, rubber ring 2, and spring 3 are then inserted into the piston cylinder of the clutch master cylinder. The rod that pushes the piston body 1 is then positioned against the groove at the bottom of the piston body 1. The rod is then secured in place. The clutch master cylinder is then installed in the corresponding position on the vehicle and can be used normally. Compared with the prior art, the piston body 1 of the present application is an integrated structure and is made of materials such as nylon and fiberglass, making the entire piston body 1 lightweight. Furthermore, the annular groove 12 at the top of the piston body 1 is provided with the rubber ring 2 inside the groove 12. The bottom of the spring 3 engages with the inner groove 12, ensuring that the spring 3 is stably connected to the piston body 1, facilitating stable installation of the piston body 1 and the spring 3 in the clutch master cylinder. Furthermore, the integrated piston body 1 is less likely to disintegrate after prolonged use.

[0027] Example 2
