[0035] Example 1

[0036] The automobile shock absorber comprises a base 1, a spring upper seat 42, a spring lower seat 3 and a coil spring 5. A cylinder 2 and a piston rod 4 are provided, the cylinder 2 is filled with hydraulic oil. The piston rod 4 extends into the cylinder 2. The vibration energy stored in the coil spring 5 is converted into heat and consumed by the flow of the hydraulic oil in the cylinder 2. The base 1 is connected to the end of the cylinder 2 away from the piston rod 4. The spring upper seat 42 is arranged at the end of the piston rod 4 away from the cylinder 2. The spring lower seat 3 is arranged on the cylinder 2 or the base 1. The coil spring 5 is sleeved on the piston rod 4 and arranged between the spring upper seat 42 and the spring lower seat 3. The energy is stored by stretching and compressing the coil spring 5. The base 1 is provided with a threaded hole 11, and the outer surface of the cylinder 2 is provided with an external thread 21 connected to the threaded hole 11. The spring lower seat 3 comprises an adjusting screw 34, a left clamp plate 31 and a right clamp plate 32 rotatably connected to the left clamp plate 31. The adjusting screw 34 connects the left clamp plate 31 and the right clamp plate 32, so that the left clamp plate 31 and the right clamp plate 32 tightly hold the cylinder 2 or the base 1. By tightening or loosening the adjusting screw 34, the spring lower seat 3 can be conveniently fixed at different positions of the cylinder 2 and the base 1, so as to adjust the pre-compression amount of the coil spring 5, and then change the equivalent stiffness of the suspension system, which is suitable for different use scenarios. Meanwhile, the base 1 is provided, which supports the cylinder 2 and is threadedly connected to the cylinder 2. By relatively rotating the base 1 and the cylinder 2, the depth of the cylinder 2 extending into the base 1 can be quickly adjusted, and then the overall length of the automobile shock absorber is adjusted. By adjusting the overall length of the automobile shock absorber, the automobile shock absorber can better adapt to the gap between the automobile frame and the automobile axle, and ensure that the automobile shock absorber is installed between the automobile frame and the automobile axle in the correct posture.

[0037] In the embodiment, a support block can be arranged in the threaded hole 11. When the cylinder 2 extends into the threaded hole 11, the support block contacts and supports the cylinder 2. The support block cooperates with the threaded hole 11 to support and fix the position of the cylinder 2.

[0038] The adjusting screw 34 penetrates the right clamp plate 32 and is rotatably connected to the left clamp plate 31. The spring lower seat 3 further comprises an internally threaded sleeve 35. The internally threaded sleeve 35 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 34. The right clamp plate 32 is arranged between the left clamp plate 31 and the internally threaded sleeve 35. By rotating the internally threaded sleeve 35 around the adjusting screw 34, the left clamp plate 31 and the right clamp plate 32 can be conveniently compressed or loosened to fix the spring lower seat 3 on the cylinder 2 or the base 1.

[0039] Preferably, an end of the internally threaded sleeve 35 away from the right clamp plate 32 is extended to be provided with a handle 351. It is convenient for an operator to hold and rotate the internally threaded sleeve 35.

The left clamping plate 31 and the right clamping plate 32 are respectively provided with an extension 33 away from the axis of the cylinder barrel 2. The coil spring 5 contacts the spring lower seat 3 through the extension 33. The extension 33 ensures that the spring lower seat 3 stably supports the coil spring 5, avoiding that the coil spring 5 is spread and slides off the spring lower seat 3.

[0042] Preferably, the base 1 is provided with a lower lifting ring 12 away from one end of the piston rod 4. The piston rod 4 is provided with an upper lifting ring 41 away from one end of the base 1. Through the upper lifting ring 41 and the lower lifting ring 12, the automobile shock absorber can be conveniently arranged between the vehicle frame and the vehicle axle.

[0043] The specific working process of the utility model is as follows:

[0044] When installing the automobile shock absorber, first rotate the cylinder barrel 2 around the base 1. At this time, the external thread 21 is screwed with the threaded hole 11, the cylinder barrel 2 extends into or out of the threaded hole 11, until the length of the automobile shock absorber is suitable for installation between the vehicle frame and the vehicle axle. Then rotate the internal thread sleeve 35, so that the internal thread sleeve 35 is away from the right clamping plate 32, at this time the left clamping plate 31 and the right clamping plate 32 are relaxed. At this time, the position of the adjusting spring lower seat 3 is adjusted along the length direction of the cylinder barrel 2, and then the pre-compression amount of the coil spring 5 is adjusted. Finally, the automobile shock absorber is fixed between the vehicle frame and the vehicle axle through the upper lifting ring 41 and the lower lifting ring 12, and the installation of the automobile shock absorber is completed.
