[0030] Positioning mechanism includes connecting sleeve 17, movable block 18, movable slot 19, positioning block 20, push spring 21, positioning plate 22 and positioning hole 23, connecting sleeve 17 is installed in the top end of moving sleeve 5, movable block 18 is provided with multiple groups and slides on connecting sleeve 17, movable slot 19 is provided with multiple groups and is distributed in the outer wall of moving sleeve 5 and is respectively connected with multiple groups of movable block 18 sliding, positioning block 20 is provided at the top end of multiple groups of movable block 18, push spring 21 is installed in the bottom end of multiple groups of positioning block 20 and is fixedly connected with connecting sleeve 17, positioning plate 22 is provided with multiple groups and is all installed in the top surface of rotating sleeve 15, positioning hole 23 is provided on multiple groups of positioning plate 22.

[0031] Compression spring 24 is mounted in the inboard of moving sleeve 5, push ring 25 is connected in the bottom end of compression spring 24, push ring 25 abuts on the top surface of multiple groups of sliding block 9, the principle is that compression spring 24 provides downward elastic thrust, and force is evenly distributed to multiple groups of sliding block 9 by push ring 25, forms automatic reset mechanism, to ensure that the adjusting system can quickly recover the initial state after loosening.

[0032] Multiple groups of slide bar 8 are all obliquely installed in moving sleeve 5 and are all provided with guide strip 26 on outer wall, multiple groups of guide strip 26 are respectively connected with multiple groups of sliding block 9 sliding, the principle is that obliquely installed slide bar 8 converts axial movement into radial force, and guide strip 26 ensures that sliding block 9 moves accurately along the predetermined path, prevents deflection during stress process.

[0034] The limiting rod 27 is arranged in the moving sleeve 5 and is in sliding connection with the push sleeve 6, and the principle is that the limiting rod 27 constructs the movement track of the push sleeve 6 to prevent rotation in the sliding process and ensure that the force transmission direction and position are accurately controllable.

[0035] The outer side of each of the plurality of positioning blocks 20 is arranged in a circular arc shape, and the outer side of each of the plurality of positioning holes 23 is arranged with an inclined angle, and the principle is that the circular arc-shaped positioning block 20 cooperates with the positioning hole 23 with an inclined angle to form a self-guiding mechanism, so that the positioning process is gradual and smooth, mechanical impact is reduced, and positioning accuracy is improved.

[0036] The outer wall of the rotating sleeve 15 is provided with anti-skid strips 28, and the anti-skid strips 28 are arranged in multiple groups, and the principle is that the anti-skid strips 28 increase the surface friction coefficient, so that the operator can stably grasp the rotating sleeve 15 and apply accurate rotating force, and good controllability can be maintained even in a wet or oily environment.

[0037] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the hardness of the suspension, the rotating sleeve 15 is rotated to drive the gear ring 16 to rotate, the gear ring 16 is in meshing transmission with the plurality of gears 14 and drives the screw rod 13 to rotate, the plurality of screw rods 13 are in threaded cooperation with the transmission sleeve 7, so that the transmission sleeve 7 drives the push sleeve 6 to slide along the limiting rod 27 to release the abutment of the bottom end of the plurality of sliding blocks 9, at this time the plurality of sliding blocks 9 are driven by the elastic reset of the compression spring 24 to push the plurality of sliding blocks 9, so that the plurality of sliding blocks 9 respectively slide along the slide rods 8 obliquely installed, so that the plurality of clamping plates 11 release the clamping of the damper shell 2, and then the moving sleeve 5 pushes the spring 4 to be extruded, and then the rotating sleeve 15 is reversely rotated to drive the screw rod 13 and the transmission sleeve 7 to cooperate through the gear 14, so as to drive the push ring 25 to push the plurality of sliding blocks 9 to slide along the slide rod 8 and abut against the push ring 25 to extrude the compression spring 24, and at the same time drive the rubber strips 12 inside the plurality of clamping plates 11 to abut against the outer wall of the damper shell 2 and press the plurality of extension springs 10, at this time the spring 4 is extruded, so that the suspension becomes hard, and vice versa, the spring 4 is extended, so that the suspension becomes soft.

[0038] More specifically, when the rotating sleeve 15 is rotated, the plurality of positioning plates 22 are rotated, the plurality of positioning plates 22 push the positioning blocks 20 to make them slide along the movable blocks 18 in the movable grooves 19 and extrude the push springs 21, when the positioning hole 23 moves to the outer side of the positioning block 20, the push spring 21 pushes the positioning block 20 to be clamped in the positioning hole 23, so that the rotating sleeve 15 is positioned once for each end distance, the distance between the plurality of positioning blocks 20 is equal, and when the rotating sleeve 15 stops, a certain force needs to be applied to make the rotating sleeve 15 rotate.

[0039] In summary, during use or operation of the overall equipment: when it is necessary to adjust the suspension stiffness, rotating the rotating sleeve 15 drives the gear ring 16 to rotate. The gear ring 16 meshes with multiple sets of gears 14, simultaneously driving the screw 13 to rotate. The multiple sets of screws 13 are threadedly engaged with the transmission sleeve 7, causing the transmission sleeve 7 to drive the push sleeve 6 to slide along the limiting rod 27, releasing its contact with the bottom of the multiple sets of sliders 9. At this time, the multiple sets of sliders 9 are pushed by the push ring 25 through the elastic reset of the compression spring 24, causing the multiple sets of sliders 9 to slide along the inclined sliding rod 8, thus allowing the multiple sets of sliders 9 to slide along the inclined sliding rod 8. The clamping plate 11 releases its clamp on the damper housing 2, and then pushes the moving sleeve 5 to compress the spring 4. Then, the rotating sleeve 15 rotates in the opposite direction, and through the gear 14, it drives the screw 13 to cooperate with the transmission sleeve 7, thereby driving the push ring 25 to push multiple sets of sliders 9 to slide along the slide rod 8 and abut against the push ring 25 to compress the compression spring 24. At the same time, it drives the rubber strips 12 on the inner side of multiple sets of clamping plates 11 to press against the outer wall of the damper housing 2 and press against multiple sets of extension springs 10. At this time, the spring 4 is compressed, making the suspension stiffer. Conversely, when the spring 4 extends, the suspension becomes softer.

[0040] When the rotating sleeve 15 rotates, it drives multiple sets of positioning plates 22 to rotate. The outer side of the multiple sets of positioning plates 22 pushes the positioning block 20 so that it slides along the movable groove 19 through the movable block 18 and squeezes the push spring 21. When the positioning hole 23 moves to the outside of the positioning block 20, the push spring 21 pushes the positioning block 20 to engage with the positioning hole 23, so that the rotating sleeve 15 performs a positioning once for each rotation of one end. The distance between the multiple sets of positioning blocks 20 is set to be equal, and a certain force needs to be applied when the rotating sleeve 15 stops so that the rotating sleeve 15 can rotate.

[0041] Of all the solutions mentioned above, those involving the connection between two components can be selected according to the actual situation, such as welding, bolt and nut connection, bolt or screw connection, or other known connection methods, which will not be elaborated here. For all the fixed connections mentioned above, welding is preferred. Although embodiments of this utility model have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of this utility model. The scope of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
