[0027] With reference to Figures 1 to 4 The utility model discloses a temperature compensation type hydraulic damper, including shell 1, airtight inner cavity 2, defined chamber 3 and elastic capsule membrane 4.
[0028] Wherein, with reference to Figure 2 Shell 1 has airtight inner cavity 2 inside, and airtight inner cavity 2 is configured to contain damping liquid, and damping liquid can provide resistance effect in work, prevent the abnormal jumping of the tensioning wheel of the bicycle.
[0029] With reference to Figure 2 And Figure 3 The elastic capsule membrane 4 is connected with the shell 1, and the elastic capsule membrane 4 seals and separates the defined cavity 3 into a liquid compensation capsule 31 and a gas compensation capsule 32. The liquid compensation capsule 31 is configured to contain damping liquid, and the liquid compensation capsule 31 is in communication with the closed inner cavity 2 through a first opening 111. The gas compensation capsule 32 is in communication with the external environment through a second opening 121.
[0030] The elastic capsule membrane 4 is at least partially made of an elastic deformation material, and the elastic capsule membrane 4 can elastically deform in the defined cavity 3 to contract or expand the liquid compensation capsule 31.
[0031] With reference to Figure 2 When the damping liquid in the closed inner cavity 2 changes in volume due to temperature change or other reasons, the elastic capsule membrane 4 can elastically deform to contract or expand the liquid compensation capsule 31, so that the liquid compensation capsule 31 fills or absorbs the damping liquid of the closed inner cavity 2 through the first opening 111, thereby achieving the effect of temperature compensation. The defined cavity 3 can limit the maximum elastic deformation of the elastic capsule membrane 4, so as to prevent the liquid compensation capsule 31 from affecting the normal damping work of the damping liquid due to excessive compensation of the closed inner cavity 2.
[0032] In addition, the elastic deformation of the elastic capsule membrane 4 can also cause the volume of the gas compensation capsule 32 to change, and the gas compensation capsule 32 can correspondingly fill or absorb air from the external environment through the second opening 121, so as to ensure that the elastic deformation of the elastic capsule membrane 4 is not hindered by the pressure in the gas compensation capsule 32.
[0033] With reference to Figures 2 to 4 In some embodiments, the elastic capsule membrane 4 includes a deformation part 41 and a mounting part 42. The mounting part 42 is fixedly connected with the shell 1, and the deformation part 41 separates the defined cavity 3, thereby ensuring that the elastic capsule membrane 4 is firmly connected with the shell 1.
[0034] In some embodiments, the deformation part 41 extends protrudingly towards the first opening 111, and from the perspective of the liquid compensation capsule 31, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The deformation part 41 is generally arc-shaped, and by changing the height of the protruding arch of the deformation part 41, the liquid compensation capsule 31 can be contracted or expanded, thereby facilitating the elastic deformation of the deformation part 41.
[0035] From the perspective of the gas compensation capsule 32, with reference to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The deformation part 41 can be in the form of a bag that is open towards the second opening 121, and by changing the bag depth of the deformation part 41, the gas compensation capsule 32 can be contracted or expanded, thereby facilitating the elastic deformation of the deformation part 41.

This can not only firmly connect the base shell 11, the elastic bag film 4 and the cover 12, but also effectively prevent the liquid compensation bag 31 from leaking damping liquid from between the elastic bag film 4 and the base shell 11. The fastener 5 can be a screw.
