Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive vibration damping technology, specifically to a magnetorheological vibration damper for automotive bodies. Background Technology
[0002] Magnetorheological damping buffers operate based on the properties of magnetorheological fluids. In the absence of a magnetic field, the magnetorheological fluid behaves as a Newtonian fluid; when subjected to a strong magnetic field, its suspended particles are induced to polarize, interacting to form particle chains, thus transforming into a viscoplastic material with a certain shear yield stress. By changing the magnetic field strength, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid can be adjusted, thereby altering the damping force of the damping buffer. This continuous variability of damping force allows the magnetorheological damping buffer to adjust in real time according to road conditions and driving environment, providing fast, smooth, and continuously variable damping force.
[0003] Under extreme operating conditions, magnetorheological dampers primarily rely on the resistance provided by the buffer block to suppress vibrations. When road conditions become extremely turbulent, the rapid movement of the piston and its electromagnetic coil within a short period results in insufficient magnetic field strength generated by the electromagnetic coil. This prevents the magnetorheological fluid within the working cylinder from generating enough resistance to withstand the impact force on the vehicle. When the vehicle experiences a significant impact, the damper piston moves to the farthest end of the working cylinder and directly impacts the buffer block at the end of the cylinder. At this point, the buffer force generated by the buffer block can cause discomfort to passengers.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a magnetorheological damping buffer for automobile bodies. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a magnetorheological damping buffer for automotive bodies, which has the advantage of maintaining good performance even under extreme working conditions, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0006] This utility model provides the following technical solution: a magnetorheological damping buffer for automobile bodies, comprising a damping cylinder, a floating piston, a piston body, and a piston rod:
[0007] The floating piston is disposed inside the shock absorber cylinder, and the piston body is disposed directly above the floating piston. The piston body is located inside the shock absorber cylinder, and the piston rod is fixedly connected to the top of the piston body. Two electromagnetic coils are disposed on the surface of the shock absorber cylinder. The floating piston divides the interior of the shock absorber cylinder into a high-pressure gas chamber and a magnetorheological fluid chamber. The high-pressure gas chamber is filled with high-pressure gas, and the magnetorheological fluid chamber is filled with magnetorheological fluid. The piston body is located inside the magnetorheological fluid chamber.
[0008] Preferably, a sealing ring is provided at the connection between the piston rod and the shock absorber.
[0009] Preferably, a coil is disposed inside the piston body, and the piston body is located between two electromagnetic coils.
[0010] Preferably, a second sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side of the floating piston, and a third sealing ring is fixedly connected to the side of the piston body.
[0011] Preferably, the piston body has a plurality of movable grooves inside, and the positions of the plurality of movable grooves correspond one-to-one with the positions of the plurality of damping holes. A sealing block is slidably engaged inside the movable groove.
[0012] Preferably, the movable groove has an installation groove on its side, an electromagnet is fixedly installed inside the installation groove, a microcontroller is installed inside the piston body, the microcontroller is electrically connected to the electromagnet, a wire is connected to the microcontroller, a spring is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing block, and the other end of the spring abuts against the groove wall of the movable groove.
[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0014] A magnetorheological damping buffer for automotive bodies comprises a damping cylinder, a floating piston, a piston body, and a piston rod. Under extreme conditions, with a large impact force, the piston rod will be subjected to extreme compression or tension. During the reciprocating motion within the damping cylinder, the piston rod assembly passes the locations of two electromagnetic coils. Under extreme conditions, after the electromagnetic coils are energized, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid inside them increases. Under the combined action of the coils inside the piston body, the damping force generated on the piston rod also increases. Simultaneously, after the electromagnet is energized under the control of a microcontroller, it drives the sealing block to move within the movable groove. The number of unobstructed damping holes can be freely selected, allowing the magnetorheological fluid to move through the damping holes. This efficiently absorbs kinetic energy and attenuates the impact force, thus ensuring a better riding experience for passengers under extreme conditions. Attached Figure Description

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3 A magnetorheological damping buffer for automobile body, comprising a damping cylinder 100, a floating piston 200, a piston body 300, and a piston rod 400:
[0027] A floating piston 200 is disposed inside the shock absorber 100, and a piston body 300 is disposed directly above the floating piston 200. The piston body 300 is located inside the shock absorber 100, and a piston rod 400 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston body 300. An electromagnetic coil 500 is disposed on the surface of the shock absorber 100, and there are two electromagnetic coils 500.

The high-pressure gas chamber 101 is filled with high-pressure gas, and the magnetorheological fluid chamber 102 is filled with magnetorheological fluid. The piston body 300 is located inside the magnetorheological fluid chamber 102.
[0028] Under extreme conditions, the piston rod 400 will be subjected to extreme compression or tension under the action of a large impact force. During the reciprocating motion in the shock absorber 100, the piston rod assembly will pass the positions of the two electromagnetic coils 500. Under extreme conditions, after the electromagnetic coils 500 are energized, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid inside them increases. Under the combined action of the coils inside the piston body 300, the damping force that it can generate on the piston rod 400 will also increase. At the same time, after the single-chip microcomputer controller 305 controls the electromagnet 306 to be energized, it drives the sealing block 308 to move inside the movable groove 303. The number of unobstructed damping holes 302 can be freely selected, so that the magnetorheological fluid moves from inside the damping holes 302. This can efficiently absorb kinetic energy and attenuate the impact force, thereby ensuring a better riding experience for passengers under extreme conditions.
[0029] For further optimization, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A sealing ring 103 is provided at the connection between the piston rod 400 and the shock absorber 100 to improve the sealing performance between the piston rod 400 and the shock absorber 100.
[0030] For further optimization, please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 A coil is installed inside the piston body 300, which is located between two electromagnetic coils 500. When the electromagnetic coils 500 are energized, the viscosity of the magnetorheological fluid inside them increases, and under the combined action of the coils inside the piston body 300, the damping force that they can generate on the piston rod 400 also increases.
[0031] Further preferably, referring to 2, a second sealing ring 201 is fixedly connected to the side of the floating piston 200, and a third sealing ring 301 is fixedly connected to the side of the piston body 300. This greatly improves the sealing performance between the piston and the inner wall of the shock absorber 100.
[0032] For further optimization, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 The piston body 300 has several movable grooves 303 inside, and the positions of the movable grooves 303 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the multiple damping holes 302. A sealing block 308 is slidably engaged inside the movable groove 303.
[0033] For further optimization, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3The movable groove 303 has an installation groove 304 on its side. An electromagnet 306 is fixedly installed inside the installation groove 304. A microcontroller 305 is installed inside the piston body 300. The microcontroller 305 is electrically connected to the electromagnet 306. A wire 309 is connected to the microcontroller 305. A spring 307 is fixedly connected to one end of the sealing block 308. The other end of the spring 307 abuts against the groove wall of the movable groove 303. After the microcontroller 305 controls the electromagnet 306 to be energized, it drives the sealing block 308 to move inside the movable groove 303. The number of unobstructed damping holes 302 can be freely selected to control the flow rate of the magnetorheological fluid in the damping holes 302.
