DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] The utility model discloses a kind of anti-dimple air spring dust covers, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0019] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, an anti-dimple air spring dust cover, including aluminum sleeve buckling end 1, spring disc assembly end 2 and the corrugated section 3 formed between aluminum sleeve buckling end 1 and spring disc assembly end 2, first clamping groove 10 is arranged on the inner wall of aluminum sleeve buckling end 1, clamp groove 11 is arranged on the outer wall of aluminum sleeve buckling end 1, second clamping groove 12 is arranged on the inner wall of spring disc assembly end 2, the specific connection structure and connection mode of dust cover and aluminum sleeve, spring disc are prior art, and here is not repeated.
[0020] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, wave crest 4 and wave trough 5 are formed on corrugated section 3, the outer profile of wave crest 4 is circular arc 6, the inner profile of wave crest 4 is trapezoid 7, the shorter base of trapezoid 7 is outwardly arranged, and it needs to be explained that the performance of the inner profile of trapezoid 7 actually only has a shorter base and two waists, and the base is outwardly arranged and arranged along the vertical direction. Further, trapezoid 7 is isosceles trapezoid and symmetrically arranged up and down with the axis of symmetry of circular arc 6 as the axis.
[0021] As Figure 2 shown, long straight section 8 is arranged on both sides of trapezoid 7, long straight section 8 is connected to the waist of trapezoid 7 and extends inwardly, the included angle α between the waist of trapezoid 7 and long straight section 8 ranges from 168° to 172°, the included angle β between the waist of trapezoid 7 and the base ranges from 117° to 121°, and it needs to be explained that the included angle in the utility model is accurate to the inward side, that is, to the interior space of dust cover, as Figure 2 shown. In the embodiment, the included angle α between the waist of trapezoid 7 and long straight section 8 is preferably 170°, and the included angle β between the waist of trapezoid 7 and the base is preferably 119°.
[0022] AsFigure 2 As shown, the trapezoid 7 has rounded corners 9 between its waist and base. In this embodiment, as a preferred option, the dust cover is made of EPDM material, the radius of the arc 6 is 3.3mm, the maximum distance b between the base of the trapezoid 7 and the arc 6 is 2.9mm, the radius of the two rounded corners 9 is 0.5mm, and the length of the base of the trapezoid 7 is 2.2mm, ensuring sufficient local wall thickness to provide structural support.
[0023] Traditional air spring dust covers have circular outer and inner contours for the wave crest 4. When subjected to stress impact, the outer side of the wave crest 4 deforms inward, easily forming a relatively stable triangular structure on both the inner and outer contours, making the dust cover unable to recover. In this invention, the outer and inner contours of the wave crest 4 have different shapes. Under the condition of external force compression or tensile stress, the outer contour of the arc 6 deforms and generates deformation force, while the inner contour of the trapezoid 7 generates a restoring force to resist deformation. Neither the outer nor the inner contour can form a triangular structure. The restoring force is greater than the deformation force, causing the dust cover structure to rebound, preventing dents and maintaining the wave-shaped working state of the dust cover. The dust cover is less prone to denting and shifting when subjected to stress impact, thus avoiding abnormal noises caused by contact with shock absorbers or other components, improving product durability and user experience. Under the influence of uncontrollable external forces, after the dust cover dents and deforms, the anti-dent structure of the dust cover generates a restoring force to maintain its original shape, avoiding cracking caused by movement of the dust cover under corrugated dent conditions, improving product durability and ensuring service life.
[0024] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
