Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of valve plates, and more particularly to a shock absorber piston assembly. Background Art
[0002] Automotive shock absorbers are chassis components. With the trend toward platform-based chassis components, their design structures are becoming increasingly limited. Traditional shock absorbers can adapt to surrounding component placement by reshaping the reservoir's exterior. As vehicle users demand ever-increasing ride comfort and handling, continuously damping control shock absorbers (ECCs) are increasingly popular. This is particularly true for SUVs, pure electric vehicles, and hybrid vehicles, which require a wider range of adjustable damping force, placing higher demands on valve system durability.
[0003] The shortcomings of the existing technology: The electronically controlled shock absorber must ensure driving comfort and control stability. Usually, in order to meet the driving comfort, the valve plate stiffness on the flow side of the restoring valve assembly is adjusted to a relatively low level, which makes it easy for the valve plate to be damaged after the valve system durability test. In order to pass the valve system durability test, it is generally necessary to increase the valve plate stiffness on the flow side of the restoring valve assembly or use high-performance valve plate materials. The method of increasing the valve plate stiffness reduces the driving comfort to varying degrees. The use of high-performance valve plate materials leads to increased development costs. It is contradictory to simultaneously meet the driving comfort and control stability of the electronically controlled shock absorber, forcing one party to compromise or increase development costs. For this reason, we have proposed a shock absorber piston assembly. Utility Model Content

[0015] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the present invention. In addition, the forms of the various structures described in the following embodiments are merely examples. The shock absorber piston assembly involved in the present invention is not limited to the various structures described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] The utility model provides a shock absorber piston assembly, including a piston rod 1, a first gasket 2, a valve plate body 3 and a lotus root valve plate 8 are provided on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, the first gasket 2 is located at the uppermost part of the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, the uppermost valve plate body 3 is in contact with the first gasket 2, a plurality of valve plate bodies 3 are provided, the lotus root valve plate 8 is located between the plurality of valve plate bodies 3, a through hole 9 is provided on the surface of the lotus root valve plate 8, and a plurality of through holes 9 are provided in an array. When working, according to the size of the valve plate body 3 on the flow side, uniformly distributed through holes 9 are opened in the space between the inner and outer diameters of a valve plate body 3. Since the cross-section of the opened through holes 9 is like a lotus root, a lotus root valve plate 8 is formed, which provides a possibility for ensuring that the damping force scheme of the matching adjustment remains unchanged, while improving the durability of the valve system and the integrity of the valve system after road test durability, saving development costs, and facilitating the assembly of valve system parts.
[0017] Furthermore, a piston body 4 is provided on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, and the upper end surface of the piston body 4 is in contact with the lowermost valve plate body 3. During operation, under the action of the piston body 4, when the shock absorber is running, the piston rod 1 drives the piston body 4 to move downward in the cylinder, which can achieve the effect of buffering and shock absorption.
[0018] Furthermore, a restoring valve 5 is provided on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, and the upper end surface of the restoring valve 5 is in contact with the piston body 4. During operation, under the action of the restoring valve 5, when the piston rod 1 drives the piston to move downward in the cylinder, the action of the restoring valve 5 achieves the effect of resetting the piston body 4 and the piston rod 1.
[0019] Furthermore, a second gasket 6 is provided on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1 , and the upper end surface of the second gasket 6 is in contact with the restoration valve 5 . During operation, the second gasket 6 positions the restoration valve 5 to limit its position.
[0020] Furthermore, the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1 is threadedly connected with a nut 7, and the upper end surface of the nut 7 is in contact with the second washer 6. During operation, when the second washer 6 is installed on the piston rod 1, the nut 7 is tightened on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, thereby achieving the effect of fixing the upper structure as a whole, thereby forming a restoration valve 5 assembly.
[0021] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the four valve plate bodies 3 are first passed through the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1, and the lotus root valve plate 8 is placed between the four valve plate bodies 3. Then the first gasket 2, the piston body 4, the restoring valve 5 and the second gasket 6 are sleeved on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1. Finally, the nut 7 is tightened on the circumferential surface of the piston rod 1 to fix the upper structure as a whole, thereby forming a restoring valve 5 assembly. When in use, since the surface of the lotus root valve plate 8 is provided with a through hole 9, the damping force scheme of the matching adjustment can be guaranteed to remain unchanged, while providing the possibility of improving the durability of the valve system and the integrity of the valve system after the road test, while saving development costs and facilitating the assembly of valve system parts.
