Generally, they need to be processed and manufactured using high-precision high-pressure punch presses to ensure that the circumference, flatness, thickness tolerance, etc. of the valve plates meet the usage requirements. Otherwise, it may affect the sealing performance and fitting accuracy between the valve plates and the valve seats, which increases the processing cost and production difficulty.

[0029] In this embodiment, a flow valve for a hydraulic automotive shock absorber includes a valve body 100. The valve body 100 has a mounting hole 200 located on one side of the center position of the valve body 100. An oil reservoir 300 surrounding the mounting hole 200 is formed on one surface of the valve body 100. The valve body 100 has a first fluid passage 400 and a second fluid passage 500 located on one side of the mounting hole 200 and symmetrically arranged with respect to the center line of the valve body 100.
[0030] Based on the above description, this utility model discloses a flow valve for a hydraulic automotive shock absorber. The valve includes a valve body 100, and the mounting hole 200 on the valve body 100 is offset from the center of the valve body 100. That is, the mounting hole 200 on the valve body 100 is eccentric to the valve body 100, which optimizes the oil flow path, enhances the valve's response sensitivity, and reduces valve wear.
[0031] When the oil passes through the valve, due to the eccentricity of the mounting hole 200, the oil enters or flows out of the valve area in an asymmetrical manner. This asymmetrical flow path can generate more complex vortices and turbulence around the valve. During the compression stroke, when the oil passes through the compression valve, the eccentric mounting hole 200 causes the oil to generate a lateral force as it flows through the valve. This helps to break the laminar flow state that the oil might have originally had, allowing the oil to mix and disperse more fully. This allows for more precise control of the oil flow rate under different pressures. During vehicle operation, road conditions are complex and changeable. This precise throttling control can better adapt to impacts of different intensities, thereby providing more suitable damping force, enabling the valve plate to more precisely control the oil flow rate under different pressures.
[0032] In addition, the eccentric mounting hole 200 can change the force on the valve plate. When the oil pressure acts on the valve plate, due to the eccentricity of the mounting hole 200, the valve plate will generate a torque. This torque makes it easier for the valve plate to open or close under a small pressure difference. For example, during the extension stroke, when the oil pressure changes slightly, the torque acting on the valve plate with the eccentric mounting hole 200 will cause the extension valve to open or close faster, thereby enabling the shock absorber to respond more quickly to the rebound of the wheel; and can improve the vehicle's driving comfort and handling stability.
[0033] When a vehicle is traveling at high speed, minor bumps and vibrations on the road surface occur frequently. The valve plate with the eccentric mounting hole 200 can quickly adjust the damping force, effectively filtering these vibrations and keeping the vehicle body stable. Under conditions such as vehicle steering or braking, it can also quickly respond to changes in vehicle body posture and provide timely support and damping.
[0034] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the valve plate body 100 has a circular structure, and an arc-shaped notch 110 is provided on the outer edge of the valve plate body 100. An arc-shaped protrusion 120 located on one side of the arc-shaped notch 110 is also provided on the outer edge of the valve plate body 100, which can reduce the weight of the valve plate body 100, facilitate processing, and reduce the installation difficulty of the equipment.
[0035] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the thickness of the valve plate body 100 is 0.1-0.6 mm.
[0036] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the oil storage tank 300 includes a first part 310 and a second part 320. The first part 310 is a circular groove surrounding the mounting hole 200. The second part 320 communicates with the first part 310 and has a rectangular structure. One side of the second part 320 is tangent to the first part 310, and the width of the second part 320 is smaller than the diameter of the first part 310. By setting the oil storage tank 300, the stability of oil supply can be improved, the oil flow characteristics can be optimized, the occurrence of cavitation can be reduced, and the service life of the valve plate can be extended.
[0037] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the depth of the oil storage tank 300 is 0.02-0.05 mm.
[0038] The shock absorber valve plate disclosed in this utility model is used in hydraulic automotive shock absorbers. The valve plate body 100 has an oil reservoir 300 formed around the mounting hole 200 with an eccentric structure, which can provide a temporary storage space for oil. When the flow rate of oil in the valve area fluctuates instantaneously, such as when the vehicle frequently passes through small bumpy roads during driving, the pressure and flow rate of the oil change rapidly. The oil reservoir 300 can store a certain amount of oil, which can be replenished in time when the oil flow demand suddenly increases, ensuring the stability of the oil supply.
[0039] As the oil passes through the area surrounding the eccentric mounting hole 200, a portion enters the oil reservoir 300 before flowing out. This flow pattern allows the oil to form a more complex circulation in a localized area, which is beneficial for oil mixing and temperature equalization.
[0040] When the oil flows rapidly within the shock absorber, cavitation may occur due to pressure changes. The oil reservoir 300 acts as a buffer zone, reducing the severity of rapid pressure changes. When the oil pressure drops, the oil in the reservoir 300 can be replenished promptly, reducing the formation of localized vacuum areas and effectively preventing cavitation. This is crucial for maintaining the stable performance of the shock absorber and extending its service life.
[0041] The oil reservoir 300 disperses the impact force of the oil on the valve plate. Without the reservoir 300, the oil directly impacts the valve plate, especially near the eccentrically positioned mounting hole 200. Due to the asymmetrical flow of the oil, this can lead to excessive localized stress on the valve plate. The reservoir 300 guides the oil into the reservoir first, then acts gently on the valve plate, resulting in a more even distribution of the impact force. This helps reduce wear and fatigue damage to the valve plate. Extending the valve plate's lifespan reduces shock absorber malfunctions and repairs caused by valve plate damage, thus lowering vehicle maintenance costs.
[0042] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the first liquid passage 400 and the second liquid passage 500 are both circular holes.
[0043] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the first liquid passage 400 and the second liquid passage 500 are both oblong holes.
[0044] In one or more possible embodiments of this utility model, the first liquid passage 400 includes an inclined first side 410, with a vertically arranged second side 420 and a third side 430 respectively connected to both ends of the first side 410. The other end of the second side 420 is connected to a fourth side 440 through an arc 450. The other end of the fourth side 440 is connected to the third side 430. The fourth side 440 is parallel to the first side 410. The connections between the first side 410 and the second side 420 and the third side 430 are rounded. The connection between the third side 430 and the fourth side 440 is also rounded.
[0045] The shock absorber valve plate disclosed in this utility model is used in hydraulic automotive shock absorbers. The valve plate body 100 has an oil reservoir 300 formed around the mounting hole 200 with an eccentric structure, which can provide a temporary storage space for oil. When the flow rate of oil in the valve area fluctuates instantaneously, such as when the vehicle frequently passes through small bumpy roads during driving, the pressure and flow rate of the oil change rapidly. The oil reservoir 300 can store a certain amount of oil, which can be replenished in time when the oil flow demand suddenly increases, ensuring the stability of the oil supply.
[0046] As the oil passes through the area surrounding the eccentric mounting hole 200, a portion enters the oil reservoir 300 before flowing out. This flow pattern allows the oil to form a more complex circulation in a localized area, which is beneficial for oil mixing and temperature equalization.
[0047] When the oil flows rapidly within the shock absorber, cavitation may occur due to pressure changes. The oil reservoir 300 acts as a buffer zone, reducing the severity of rapid pressure changes. When the oil pressure drops, the oil in the reservoir 300 can be replenished promptly, reducing the formation of localized vacuum areas and effectively preventing cavitation. This is crucial for maintaining the stable performance of the shock absorber and extending its service life.
[0048] The oil reservoir 300 disperses the impact force of the oil on the valve plate. Without the reservoir 300, the oil directly impacts the valve plate, especially near the eccentrically positioned mounting hole 200. Due to the asymmetrical flow of the oil, this can lead to excessive localized stress on the valve plate. The reservoir 300 guides the oil into the reservoir first, then acts gently on the valve plate, resulting in a more even distribution of the impact force. This helps reduce wear and fatigue damage to the valve plate. Extending the valve plate's lifespan reduces shock absorber malfunctions and repairs caused by valve plate damage, thus lowering vehicle maintenance costs.
