Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of positioning devices, and in particular to a positioning device for a third cylinder of a shock absorber. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, people's requirements for automobile safety and comfort are becoming more and more refined. Shock absorbers are one of the key parts of a car, responsible for many important performance of the vehicle, providing elastic support for the vehicle body and load mass and determining the vehicle's carrying capacity. At the same time, it ensures the comfort and stability of the vehicle's driving and improves the reliability and life of various vehicle components. Since most new energy vehicles use electronically controlled chassis, and electronically controlled shock absorbers are an important component to improve chassis performance, shock absorber installation has become one of the most important links.

[0003] From the inside to the outside, the shock absorber consists of an inner cylinder, a middle cylinder, and an outer cylinder, namely the second cylinder, the third cylinder, and the first cylinder. The main assembly methods for assembling the third cylinder onto the second cylinder are manual operation and visual measurement. These two operation methods are inefficient, and the alignment of the third cylinder is deviated, resulting in improper assembly, which in turn damages the gasket and O-ring on the second cylinder and affects the performance of the shock absorber. Therefore, a positioning device is urgently needed to solve the above problems and improve assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the problem that the gasket and O-ring on the second cylinder are easily damaged during the assembly of the third cylinder, the present application provides a positioning device for the third cylinder of the shock absorber.

[0005] The present application provides a positioning device for the third cylinder of a shock absorber, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A positioning device for a third tube of a shock absorber, the shock absorber including a second tube and a third tube from the inside out, the positioning device including a guide block, the guide block being arranged at one end of the second tube, the guide block being provided with a guide surface for guiding the third tube to be assembled onto the second tube, the outer diameter of the guide block being fitted to the inner diameter of the third tube, and the center lines of the guide block, the second tube and the third tube coinciding.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the end with the larger inner diameter of the guide block is installed on the second tube, and then the third tube is assembled to the second tube along the guide surface of the guide block, so that the center lines of the guide block, the second tube and the third tube coincide. The setting of the guide surface guides the assembly of the third tube, facilitates the assembly of the third tube to the second tube, and improves the overall assembly efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, a slot is provided on the guide block, and the guide block is engaged with the second cylinder via the slot.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the provided clamping groove enables the guide block to be stably clamped on the second cylinder, ensuring that the third cylinder can be smoothly assembled on the second cylinder later.

[0010] Optionally, the positioning device also includes a positioning block kit, which includes a positioning ring and a base. The positioning ring is located in the base and is threadedly connected to the base. The end of the positioning ring away from the base is in contact with the end face of the third tube, and the positioning ring is placed on the second tube.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block kit includes two parts: a positioning ring and a base. The positioning ring is rotated to move it up and down along the inner wall of the base, thereby adjusting the vertical height from the top surface of the positioning ring to the bottom surface of the base. The positioning ring is moved until it fits with the end face of the third tube, and the distance from the top surface of the positioning ring to the bottom surface of the base is measured to obtain the distance from the bottom surface of the third tube to the bottom surface of the second tube. In the subsequent assembly process, the positioning ring is placed on the second tube, and the bottom surface of the third tube is fit with the top surface of the positioning ring. This ensures that the distance from the bottom surface of the third tube to the bottom surface of the second tube remains consistent, thereby ensuring the accuracy of assembly, facilitating the assembly of large quantities of parts, and improving assembly efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the positioning device also includes a positioning block kit, which includes a base, a positioning ring and a height adjustment ring. The end of the base close to the third tube is detachably connected to the height adjustment ring, the height adjustment ring is threadedly connected to the positioning ring, the positioning ring is placed on the second tube, and the end of the positioning ring away from the base is in contact with the third tube.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block kit includes three parts: a positioning ring, a height adjustment ring and a base. The height adjustment ring is installed on the base by magnetic attraction, and the positioning ring is rotated to move up and down along the inner wall of the base and the height adjustment ring. The setting of the height adjustment ring increases the height adjustment range of the positioning ring. The positioning ring fits with the end face of the third cylinder to ensure the accuracy of the measured values. After the parts are measured and the measured values ​​are converted into the relative position of the tooling, it is convenient to assemble large quantities of parts, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0014] Optionally, the height adjustment ring is fixed to the base by magnetic attraction and has the same inner diameter as the base.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to increase the height adjustment range of the positioning ring, the height adjustment ring is placed on the end face of the base by magnetic attraction. The magnetic fixation method ensures that the height adjustment ring can be stably set on the base. The inner diameter of the height adjustment ring is the same as that of the base, ensuring that the positioning ring can move continuously along the inner wall of the base and the height adjustment ring.

[0016] Optionally, the positioning ring is provided with a through hole for the depth gauge to pass through.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the through hole makes it easy for the depth gauge to penetrate into the positioning ring, thereby accurately measuring the distance from the bottom end of the base to the top surface of the positioning ring, ensuring a smooth measurement process.

[0018] Optionally, the third tube is provided with a connecting portion, the connecting portion is provided with a connecting hole, and a plug is detachably connected to the connecting hole.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, a connecting portion is provided on the third tube, which makes it convenient to connect the plug to the third tube. The plug is the same size as the solenoid valve assembly, which avoids the solenoid valve assembly scratching the third tube due to unqualified size when the plug is subsequently removed and the solenoid valve assembly is installed, causing internal pressure leakage of the shock absorber and affecting the vibration reduction performance of the shock absorber.

[0020] Optionally, a fixed cover covering the plug is detachably connected to the connecting portion.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the provision of the fixed cover prevents the plug from falling from the connecting portion, thereby protecting the connecting portion and the third tube.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. Install the end of the guide block with the larger inner diameter on the second tube, and then assemble the third tube onto the second tube along the guide surface of the guide block, so that the center lines of the guide block, the second tube, and the third tube coincide. The setting of the guide surface guides the assembly of the third tube, facilitating the assembly of the third tube onto the second tube and improving the overall assembly efficiency.

[0024] 2. The positioning block kit includes three parts: a positioning ring, a height adjustment ring, and a base. The height adjustment ring is magnetically mounted on the base. Rotating the positioning ring allows it to move up and down along the inner wall of the base and the height adjustment ring. The height adjustment ring increases the height adjustment range of the positioning ring. The positioning ring fits closely with the end face of the third cylinder, ensuring the accuracy of the measured values. After measuring the parts and converting the measured values ​​into the relative position of the tooling, it is convenient to assemble large quantities of parts, thereby improving assembly efficiency.

[0025] 3. A connection portion is provided on the third tube to facilitate connection of the plug to the third tube. The plug is the same size as the solenoid valve assembly to avoid the solenoid valve assembly scratching the third tube due to unqualified size when the plug is subsequently removed and the solenoid valve assembly is installed, resulting in internal pressure leakage of the shock absorber and affecting the shock absorber's vibration reduction performance.
