Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of shock absorbers, in particular to an external auxiliary air bag type shock absorber. Background Art

[0002] Traditional ordinary structures or coil spring structures often produce some aftershocks when the car passes through bumpy roads or encounters vibrations. These aftershocks will directly affect the comfort experience of passengers. In order to improve this problem, the role of shock absorbers is particularly important. Shock absorbers absorb these aftershocks and play a buffering role, thereby greatly improving the comfort of riding. In this way, shock absorbers ensure that passengers can enjoy a smooth and comfortable experience during driving, further improving the overall performance and driving experience of the car.

[0003] In a standard shock absorption system, in addition to the main load-bearing component, the coil spring, an auxiliary shock absorption device is usually configured to achieve the function of buffering and absorbing impact. When the shock absorber is subjected to a large workload, an auxiliary buffer spring is introduced to alleviate related problems. However, due to the limitations of the spring design, the loading height of the vehicle cannot be changed, so a low stiffness and high height spring design must be adopted. This design may cause the spring to bend during the compression process, which may interfere with the shock absorber or produce abnormal noise. In addition, the coil spring will produce aftershocks due to actual road conditions during the up and down movement, and the aftershocks will have a negative impact on ride comfort.

[0004] For this reason, an external auxiliary air bag shock absorber is proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
