[0023] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the inventor of this case, through long-term research and extensive practice, has come up with the technical solution of this utility model. The following will further explain the technical solution, its implementation process, and its principles.

[0024] like Figure 1As shown, this utility model discloses an active shock absorber for motor vehicles. The active shock absorber includes an inner cylinder 13, an outer cylinder 11, a rebound oil circuit valve block 1, a rebound airbag 8, a compression oil circuit valve block 4, and a compression airbag 13. A piston 9 and a piston rod 6 are disposed inside the inner cylinder 13. The piston 9 is fixedly connected to one end of the piston rod 6 and is slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder 13. The piston 9 divides the interior of the inner cylinder 13 into a first rebound oil chamber 7 and a first compression oil chamber 10. The rebound oil circuit valve block 1 is fixedly disposed on the outer cylinder 11. The rebound oil circuit valve block 1 is provided with a rebound solenoid valve assembly 2 and a rebound inlet / outlet oil port 14, which is connected to an external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump. A second rebound oil chamber 71 is disposed inside the rebound oil circuit valve block 1, and the first rebound oil chamber 7 and the second rebound oil chamber 71 are connected. Specifically, a first rebound oil passage, a second rebound oil passage, and a first rebound oil path are provided between the first rebound oil chamber 7 and the second rebound oil chamber 71. When the piston rod 6 moves to the left, oil flows from the first rebound oil chamber 8 through the first rebound oil passage, the first rebound oil path, and the second rebound oil passage into the second rebound oil chamber 71. When the piston rod 6 moves to the right, oil flows from the second rebound oil chamber 71 through the second rebound oil passage, the first rebound oil path, and the first rebound oil passage into the first rebound oil chamber 7.

[0025] The rebound airbag 8 is disposed between the outer cylinder 11 and the inner cylinder 13. The rebound oil circuit valve block 1 is provided with a third rebound oil passage hole. The oil in the second rebound oil chamber 71 flows to the outside of the rebound airbag 8 through the third rebound oil passage hole. The oil squeezes the rebound airbag 8 to form a rebound energy storage chamber 17.

[0026] The compression oil circuit valve block is fixedly mounted on the outer cylinder 11. The compression oil circuit valve block contains a compression solenoid valve assembly 4 and a compression inlet / outlet port 15, which is connected to an external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump. The compression oil circuit valve block contains a second compression oil chamber 101, which is connected to the first compression oil chamber 10. Specifically, a compression oil passage is provided between the first compression oil chamber 10 and the second compression oil chamber 101. When the piston rod 6 moves to the right, oil flows from the first compression oil chamber 10 through the compression oil passage into the second compression oil chamber 101; when the piston rod 6 moves to the left, oil flows from the second compression oil chamber 101 through the first compression oil passage into the first compression oil chamber 10.

[0027] The compression airbag 12 is disposed between the outer cylinder 11 and the inner cylinder 13. The compression airbag 12 and the rebound airbag 8 are arranged side by side and separated by an isolation ring 16. The compression oil circuit valve block is provided with a third compression oil passage hole. The oil in the second compression oil chamber 101 flows to the outside of the compression airbag 12 through the third compression oil passage hole. The oil squeezes the compression airbag 12 to form a compression energy storage chamber 18.

[0028] The rebound energy storage chamber 17 and the compression energy storage chamber 18 are used to contain the oil that occupies space due to the volume of the piston rod 6.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, when the piston rod 6 moves to the right, the oil in the first compression chamber 10 is squeezed out by the piston rod 6 and enters the second compression chamber 101 through the compression oil passage. The oil in the second compression chamber 101 is divided into two paths. One path enters the compression energy storage chamber through the third compression oil passage. The compression energy storage chamber stores the oil and absorbs energy to provide the reverse oil supply speed. The other path enters the external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump through the compression inlet / outlet 15. At this time, the oil in the rebound energy storage chamber 17 flows into the second rebound chamber, and then enters the first rebound oil chamber 7 through the second rebound oil passage, the first rebound oil passage, and the first rebound oil passage.

[0030] like Figure 5 As shown, when the piston rod 6 moves to the left, the oil in the first rebound oil chamber 7 is squeezed out of the first rebound oil chamber 7 under the pressure of the piston rod 6, and sequentially passes through the first rebound oil passage, the first rebound oil path, and the second rebound oil passage into the second rebound oil chamber 71. The oil entering the second rebound oil chamber 71 is divided into two paths. One path of oil passes through the third rebound oil passage into the rebound energy storage chamber, which stores the oil and absorbs energy to provide the reverse oil supply speed. The other path of oil passes through the rebound inlet / outlet 14 into the external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump. At this time, the oil in the compression energy storage chamber flows into the second compression chamber and enters the first compression chamber through the first compression oil passage. This working mode is a passive working mode.

[0031] The structure of this application is simple and compact, and easy to install. The rebound energy storage chamber and the compression energy storage chamber in this application can absorb the energy of oil fluctuations to improve the reverse oil supply speed, and can also accommodate the excess oil in the first compression chamber or the first rebound chamber.

[0032] In some implementation examples, a rebound inlet / outlet port 14 is provided on one side of the rebound oil circuit valve block 1, through which external oil enters the interior of the rebound oil circuit valve block 1; a compression inlet / outlet port 15 is provided on one side of the compression oil circuit valve block, through which external oil enters the interior of the compression oil circuit valve block. During active operation, an external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump injects oil through the rebound inlet / outlet port 14, increasing the oil pressure in the first rebound oil chamber 7 and the second rebound oil chamber 71, thereby driving the piston rod 6 to perform a rebound motion; an external hydraulic pump or electro-hydraulic pump injects oil through the compression inlet / outlet port 15, increasing the oil pressure in the first compression oil chamber 10 and the second compression oil chamber 101, thereby driving the piston rod 6 to perform a compression motion.

[0033] In some implementation cases, a mounting base is provided on the outer side wall of the outer cylinder 11, and the rebound oil circuit valve block 1 and the compression oil circuit valve block are fixedly installed on the mounting base.

[0034] In some implementation cases, in order to ensure that the piston rod 6 moves axially along the outer cylinder 11, a piston rod guide 5 is provided inside the outer cylinder 11, the piston rod 6 is located inside the piston rod guide 5, and the piston rod 6 moves along the piston rod guide 5 under the drive of external force.

[0035] In some implementation cases, such as Figure 2 As shown, in order to protect the rebound airbag 8, a rebound airbag protective sleeve 19 is provided on the outside of the rebound airbag 8, and in order to protect the compression airbag 12, a compression airbag protective sleeve 20 is provided on the outside of the compression airbag 12.

[0036] It should be understood that the above embodiments are merely illustrative of the technical concept and features of this utility model, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly. They should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
