[0022] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0023] Example 1
[0024] See Figure 2An air spring piston includes a clamping section 1, an intermediate section 2, and a tail section 3 connected in sequence. The clamping section 1 is used to clamp the bladder of the air spring. The intermediate section 2 is used to connect the clamping section 1 and the tail section 3. The tail section 3 is connected to a shock absorber. The intermediate section 2 and the tail section 3 both provide support for the clamping section 1. The clamping section 1 and the intermediate section 2, and the intermediate section 2 and the tail section 3 are detachably fixed connections.
[0025] The existing one-piece air spring piston is modified into a three- or multi-segment structure, which can be adapted to air springs of different structures. During the initial adjustment or assembly, the corresponding size air spring piston is assembled according to the air spring of different size or model. Specifically, the corresponding air spring piston is assembled according to different air springs. At the same time, compared with the existing undulating piston structure, even if the crimping section 1 or the tail section 3 is scrapped, the middle section 2 and the tail section 3 or the crimping section 1 and the middle section 2 can be retained, which reduces the development cost of the undulating piston.
[0026] In this embodiment, the detachable connection is a threaded connection, but it can also be other forms of connection such as snap-fit or plug-in. Referring to the figure, the crimping section 1 is threadedly connected to the middle section 2, and the middle section 2 is threadedly connected to the tail section 3. One of the ends of the crimping section 1 connected to the working section 2 and the middle section 2 connected to the crimping section 1 is provided with an internal thread 4, and the other is provided with an external thread 5 that matches the internal thread 4. One of the ends of the middle section 2 connected to the tail section 3 and the tail section 3 connected to the middle section 2 is provided with an internal thread 4, and the other is provided with an external thread 5 that matches the internal thread 4. In this embodiment, it is taken that the middle section 2 is provided with an internal thread 4 at one end of the crimping section 1 and the tail section 3, and the ends of the crimping section 1 connected to the middle section 2 and the tail section 3 connected to the middle section 2 are provided with external threads 5.
[0027] See Figure 3 The connection ends of the crimping section 1 and the middle section 2, and the connection ends of the middle section 2 and the tail section 3 are all provided with seals. The seals refer to sealing rings or sealant. In this embodiment, if a sealing ring is provided, it is an O-ring and is provided at the threaded joints of the crimping section 1 and the middle section 2, and the middle section 2 and the tail section 3. The internal thread 4 and the external thread 5 are connected to form a seal. If sealant is used, it is thread sealant. Thread sealant is filled at the internal thread 4 or the external thread 5 during threaded connection, and a seal is formed after the internal thread 4 and the external thread 5 are connected.
[0028] See Figure 2 , Figure 4The crimping section 1, the intermediate section 2, and the tail section 3 can all be machined into standard parts with different outer diameters and lengths by turning or other machining methods. The intermediate section 2 includes a first connecting section 21 and a second connecting section 22, wherein the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 are also detachably fixed by threads. The thread setting method is the same as the thread connection method between the crimping section 1 and the intermediate section 2 or between the intermediate section 2 and the tail section 3, which will not be described again here. In this embodiment, the tail section 3 can be a straight section or a flared type, both of which can be matched with the shock absorber spring disc interface in the prior art. The size can be adapted and adjusted according to different shock absorber spring disc structures.
[0029] It should be noted that the materials of the crimping section 1, the middle section 2, and the tail section 3 are metal or plastic, and the wall thickness of the crimping section 1, the middle section 2, and the tail section 3 is the same, but the wall thickness can also be set to be different; in this embodiment, the axes of the crimping section 1, the middle section 2, and the tail section 3 are coaxial, but they can also be set to be non-coaxial. The diameter of the crimping section 1 is the same as that of the middle section 2, and the diameter of the middle section 2 is the same as that of the tail section 3. Alternatively, the diameter of the first connecting section 21 of the crimping section 1 and the middle section 2 is the same, and the diameter of the second connecting section 22 is the same as that of the tail section 3. The diameter of the first connecting section 21 is larger than the diameter of the second connecting section 22.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment provides an air spring that includes the air spring piston of Embodiment 1.
[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
