A spring plate and a valve plate are provided between the lower end face of the middle cylinder connecting seat and the third inner hole of the middle cylinder press-fit end cover to form a one-way valve.
[0006] A first sealing groove is provided at the upper end of the middle section of the outer circumference of the middle cylinder connecting seat, and a first sealing ring is installed in the first sealing groove. The first inner hole of the middle cylinder press-fit end cap is sealed to the middle cylinder connecting seat through the first sealing ring.
[0007] The outer circumference of the middle cylinder end cap is hexagonal, and a second sealing groove is provided in the inner hole of the middle cylinder end cap, in which a second sealing ring is installed.
[0008] The third inner hole end face of the middle cylinder press-fit end cap is evenly provided with multiple oil grooves, and the outer circumference of the middle cylinder press-fit end cap is provided with two milled flats.

[0014] The advantages of this utility model are that the recovery cylinder assembly of this automotive shock absorber has a simple structure and is easy to use. The cylinder connecting seat and the cylinder press-fit end cap are connected by a threaded seal, which makes the one-way valve adjustable. Different specifications of wave springs can be replaced, and the pre-pressure of the springs can be adjusted to improve the sealing and oil compensation functions of the one-way valve.
