DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0016] The present invention is described in detail below through examples, which are only used to further illustrate the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] like Figure 1 — Figure 4As shown, the embodiment discloses a motorcycle shock absorber with convenient piston rebound damping adjustment, which comprises a working cylinder 1, a piston 2 slidingly arranged in the working cylinder 1, an upper support connected to the piston 2 through a piston rod 3, a large spring arranged between the end of the piston rod 3 and the working cylinder 1, and a middle shaft hole 5 formed in the piston rod 3. A tubular valve nozzle 6 is fixed to the end of the middle shaft hole 5 close to the piston 2, a valve plug 7 is slidingly arranged in the valve nozzle 6, and a sealing ring 8 is sleeved on the outer wall of the valve plug 7 to prevent liquid leakage. A valve needle 9 is fixed to the end of the valve plug 7 close to the valve nozzle 6, and the valve needle 9 can block the port of the valve nozzle 6. A return spring 10 is sleeved between the valve plug 7 and the valve nozzle 6, and the ends of the return spring 10 abut against the end faces of the valve plug 7 and the valve nozzle 6, respectively.

[0018] A transmission rod 11 is further arranged in the middle shaft hole 5, and the end of the transmission rod 11 abuts against the valve plug 7. A rotatable knob 12 is sleeved on the outer wall of the joint 4, a transmission groove 13 is formed in the joint 4, a horizontal plate 14 is fixed in the transmission groove 13, and the end of the horizontal plate 14 extends out of the transmission groove 13. The knob 12 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the joint 4, an annular open groove 15 is formed in the surface of the knob 12, and the end of the horizontal plate 14 is in contact with the groove bottom of the open groove 15.

[0019] A base 16 is fixed to the bottom of the working cylinder 1, and a gas cylinder 17 is connected to the lower end of the base 16. A floating piston 18 is slidingly arranged in the gas cylinder 17, and the gas cylinder 17 is divided into an upper chamber 19 (communicating with the working cylinder 1) and a lower chamber 20 (filled with nitrogen gas).

[0020] When adjusting the damping, the knob 12 is rotated: when rotated clockwise, the knob 12 moves downward along the outer wall of the joint 4 in a threaded manner, the horizontal plate 14 is compressed and retracted into the transmission groove 13, the transmission rod 11 is pushed to abut against the valve plug 7, the valve plug 7 moves to the valve nozzle 6 against the elastic force of the return spring 10, the gap between the valve needle 9 and the valve nozzle 6 is reduced, and the damping is increased; when rotated counterclockwise, the knob 12 moves upward, the horizontal plate 14 is reset outward under the elastic force of the return spring 10, the transmission rod 11 retreats with the valve plug 7, the gap between the valve needle 9 and the valve nozzle 6 is increased, and the damping is reduced.

Users can flexibly adjust according to the degree of road bumps or the weight of the load, and the adaptability and use comfort of the shock absorber are significantly improved. In addition, the design of the gas cylinder and the floating piston can buffer the pressure fluctuation in the working cylinder, and prolong the service life of the shock absorber.
