Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vibration suppression, in particular to a multi-coil multi-working mode magnetorheological damper with a hybrid mode. Background Art

[0002] Magnetorheological fluid is a new type of intelligent material, composed of a non-magnetic base fluid, uniformly distributed within it tiny magnetic particles with high permeability and low hysteresis, and additives. Under the influence of an external magnetic field, its fluid properties can continuously and reversibly transition between a Newtonian fluid state and a solid-like non-Newtonian fluid state within milliseconds, exhibiting a controllable and highly responsive dynamic shear yield stress.

[0003] Magnetorheological fluids (MRFs) are widely used in shock absorbers to achieve vibration reduction. However, traditional MR valves have a simple structure and a single effect, only outputting bidirectional symmetrical damping force. Their applicability is limited and they cannot meet all requirements for asymmetric damping, among others.

[0004] In addition, the inventor applied for Chinese patents previously, namely, Chinese invention patent with publication number CN110778636A, which discloses a bidirectional independently controllable magnetorheological damper; Chinese invention patent with publication number CN110925349A, which discloses a self-sensing separated double-tube magnetorheological damper; Chinese invention patent with publication number CN110822009A, which discloses a separated double-tube magnetorheological damper. The above three invention patents have two electromagnetic coils, whose damping force is large in tension and small in compression, and the tension and compression are adjusted independently, but one structure cannot achieve damping force output in different working states, such as symmetrical output, large compression force, and small tension force. The application scenarios are narrow and the settings are relatively rigid.

[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above technical problems, a one-way valve is used to change the flow path of the magnetorheological fluid, and it is combined with different energization methods of the multi-stage coil to produce different magnetorheological effects and achieve vibration reduction effects under various working conditions.

[0053] In this embodiment, the piston end caps include a left piston end cap 8 and a right piston end cap 16. The magnetorheological piston is disposed between the left piston end cap 8 and the right piston end cap 16. The left piston end cap 8 is located on the left side of the magnetorheological piston, and the right piston end cap 16 is located on the right side of the magnetorheological piston. In this embodiment, damping channel 1 is located on the left side of the left piston end cap 8, and damping channel 2 is located on the right side of the right piston end cap 16. The right piston end cap 16 is slidably disposed within the shock absorber cylinder 6. The right piston end cap 16 is adapted to the inner diameter of the shock absorber cylinder 6. The radial diameter of the left piston end cap 8 is smaller than the radial diameter of the right piston end cap 16.

A plurality of damping channels four are provided at intervals along the circumference of the right end cover 16 of the piston.

[0055] In this embodiment, the magnetorheological piston includes a piston middle body 12, a left piston body 10 located to the left of the piston middle body 12, and a right piston body 13 located to the right of the piston middle body 12.

[0056] Among them, the axial lengths of the piston middle body 12, the piston left body 10 and the piston right body 13 can be the same or different. In this embodiment, preferably, the axial lengths of the piston middle body 12, the piston left body 10 and the piston right body 13 are the same, and the piston left body 10 and the piston right body 13 are symmetrically arranged along the middle part of the electromagnetic coil 11 of the piston middle body 12.

In this embodiment, a through-hole is provided in the middle portion of the piston rod 2.

Specifically, the sealing plug 7 is a rubber plug, which can effectively improve the sealing performance of the piston rod 2 and effectively prevent the magnetorheological fluid 17 from leaking from the through hole of the piston rod 2 .

[0059] In this embodiment, a sealing assembly is provided on the piston right end cover 16 for filling the gap between the piston right end cover 16 and the inner wall of the shock absorber cylinder 6 .

[0060] In this embodiment, the piston rod 2 is connected to the piston left end cover 8 through a thread. A shaft shoulder is provided on the piston rod 2, which is connected with the piston left end cover 8 to limit the axial position of the piston rod 2.

[0061] In order to axially position the entire piston body, in this embodiment, a limiting portion for axially positioning adjacent components is provided between the piston end cover and the magnetorheological piston, and between two adjacent magnetorheological pistons. In this embodiment, the limiting portion is in the form of a boss and a groove. Specifically, a groove arranged along its circumference is provided on the right side of the piston left end cover 8, and a boss is provided on the left side of the piston left body 10, and the two cooperate to achieve radial positioning of the piston left body 10; a circumferential groove is provided on the right side of the piston left body 10, and a boss is provided on the left side of the piston middle body 12, and the two cooperate to achieve radial positioning of the piston middle body 12; a circumferential boss is provided on the right side of the piston middle body 12, and a groove is provided on the left side of the piston right body 13, and the two cooperate to achieve radial positioning of the piston right body 13; a boss is provided on the left side of the piston right end cover 16, and a groove is provided on the right side of the piston right body 13, and the two cooperate to achieve radial positioning of the piston right end cover 16.

[0062] To further improve the overall axial positioning of the piston body, in this embodiment, a fixing member is provided on the piston body to axially secure the magnetorheological piston; the fixing member secures the magnetorheological piston between the left piston end cap 8 and the right piston end cap 16. Specifically, the fixing member is a screw 9. The left piston end cap 8 is provided with a groove where the screw 9 is installed. The left piston body 10, the middle piston body 12, the right piston body 13, and the right piston end cap 16 are all provided with threaded holes. The screw 9 connects the left piston end cap 8, the left piston body 10, the middle piston body 12, the right piston body 13, and the right piston end cap 16, thereby achieving the overall axial positioning of the piston body.

[0063] A through hole is provided in the middle of the left end cover 5 of the shock absorber for the piston rod 2 to slide axially, and a guide ring and a sealing ring 4 are provided on the side walls of the through hole. In this embodiment, the guide ring is a guide copper ring 3, which is used to provide guidance for the sliding of the piston rod 2, and the sealing ring 4 is used to improve the sealing between the piston rod 2 and the left end cover 5 of the shock absorber.

[0064] A floating piston 18 is provided in the shock absorber cylinder 6 and is slidably fitted on the right side of the piston body. An air chamber is formed between the right side of the floating piston 18 and the shock absorber cylinder 6. In order to improve the sealing performance, a seal is provided between the floating piston 18 and the shock absorber cylinder 6.

[0065] An inflation port 21 connected to the air chamber is provided on the right end cover 20 of the shock absorber, and air is inflated into the interior of the shock absorber through the inflation port 21.

The floating piston 18 is used to perform gas compensation on the entire shock absorber through the inflation port 21.

[0066] In this embodiment, a one-way valve is installed on the magnetorheological piston to change the flow path of the magnetorheological fluid 17 within the magnetorheological shock absorber, achieving different damping force outputs. Specifically, the magnetorheological piston has an intermediate channel that is in flow with the damping channel. The intermediate channels on both the left piston body 10 and the right piston body 13 are equipped with one-way valves.

[0067] When the magnetorheological fluid 17 flows from right to left, the one-way valve of the left piston body 10 is driven to close the middle channel of the left piston body 10;

[0068] When the magnetorheological fluid 17 flows from left to right, the one-way valve of the right piston body 13 is driven to close the middle channel of the right piston body 13 .

[0069] In this embodiment, the one-way valve comprises a ball 15 and an elastic member. The central passage is a tapered through-hole, into which the ball 15 is positioned by the elastic member. The elastic member applies a preload force toward the small end of the tapered through-hole, thereby driving the ball 15 to close the small end of the tapered through-hole. In this embodiment, the elastic member is a coil spring 14. During the extension and compression strokes of the piston body, the hydraulic pressure and the spring preload force cause the ball 15 to occupy different positions within the tapered through-hole, thereby opening or closing the central passage of the magnetorheological piston.

[0070] In this embodiment, the piston middle body 12 includes a left piston body 10 and a right piston body 13 symmetrically distributed along the axis of the electromagnetic coil 11 within the piston middle body 12. Each piston body 10 and the right piston body 13 are symmetrically provided with multiple tapered through-holes along their respective circumferences. Specifically, each piston body 10 and the right piston body 13 has four tapered through-holes. In this embodiment, the tapered through-holes are provided on the left and right piston bodies 10 and 13, and balls 15 are disposed in these tapered through-holes. These balls 15 cooperate with the coil spring 14 to function as one-way valves.

[0071] This utility model connects the corresponding electromagnetic coils 11 on the three magnetorheological pistons and passes corresponding currents, thereby placing the magnetorheological damper in different operating modes, achieving changes in damping force output, thereby producing different magnetorheological effects and achieving vibration reduction effects under various operating conditions. By changing whether the electromagnetic coils 11 at each level are energized to meet various needs, the operating range of the magnetorheological valve is greatly expanded while reducing processing and manufacturing costs. The magnetorheological damper is placed in different operating modes by passing corresponding currents through different electromagnetic coils 11, as shown below:

[0072] Mode 1: When the electromagnetic coil 11 of the piston left body 10 and the piston middle body 12 is energized, under the same current input, the damping force of the extension stroke is small, and the damping force of the compression stroke is large.

[0073] Reference Figure 7 During the stretching stroke, the magnetorheological fluid 17 enters the interior of the piston body from the middle channel and the circumferential channel of the left piston body 10, but the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the interior of the piston body through the middle channel is not within the magnetic field range of the left piston body 10, so no magnetic damping force is generated.

[0074] Reference Figure 8 During the compression stroke, since the one-way valve of the left piston body 10 is in a closed state, the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the piston body can only flow out from the circumferential channel. Therefore, the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the piston body all flows through the magnetic field range of the left piston body 10 and the coil on the middle body, outputting a larger damping force outward.

[0075] Mode 2: The electromagnetic coils 11 of the piston middle body 12 and the piston right body 13 are energized. At this time, under the same current input, the damping force of the extension stroke is large, and the damping force of the compression stroke is small.

[0076] Reference Figure 9 During the stretching stroke, the magnetorheological fluid 17 enters the interior of the piston body from the piston middle channel and the circumferential channel. Since the one-way valve of the right piston body 13 is in a closed state, the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the piston body can only flow out from the circumferential channel. Therefore, the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the piston body all flows through the magnetic field range of the piston middle body 12 and the coil on the right body, outputting a larger damping force outward.

[0077] Reference Figure 10 During the compression stroke, the magnetorheological fluid 17 enters the interior of the piston body from the middle channel and the circumferential channel of the right piston body 13, but the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the interior of the piston body through the middle channel is not within the magnetic field range of the right piston body 13, so no magnetic damping force is generated.

[0078] Mode 3: The electromagnetic coils 11 of the left piston body 10 and the right piston body 13 are energized. At this time, under the same current input, the damper outputs equal damping forces in the extension and compression strokes.

[0079] Reference Figure 11 During the stretching stroke, the magnetorheological fluid 17 enters the interior of the piston body from the middle channel and the circumferential channel of the left piston body 10, but the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the interior of the piston body through the middle channel is not within the magnetic field range of the left piston body 10, so no magnetic damping force is generated.

[0080] Reference Figure 12 During the compression stroke, the magnetorheological fluid 17 enters the interior of the piston body from the middle channel and the circumferential channel of the right piston body 13, but the magnetorheological fluid 17 entering the interior of the piston body through the middle channel is not within the magnetic field range of the right piston body 13, so no magnetic damping force is generated.

[0081] Mode 4: Only the electromagnetic coil 11 of the piston body 12 is energized
