Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to automobile damping technical field, especially a kind of automobile damping structure of free abrasion. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the automobile leaf spring sold on market is designed with same curvature, when the automobile travels on uneven road, the leaf spring will produce large deformation due to dynamic load of automobile, and large displacement with automobile contact part.

[0003] The above-mentioned leaf spring mainly has the following technical defects:

[0004] ①The leaf spring designed with same curvature will appear two components f1 and f2 when bearing dynamic load of automobile. Figure 1 When the load of automobile is conducted to leaf spring, due to the existence of deflection angle between normal line of contact point of leaf spring and downward force of vehicle body, the vertical downward force F of vehicle body appears two components f1 and f2 on leaf spring, component f2 points to the center of arc of leaf spring and causes interference; only component f1 can make leaf spring appear deformation and play the role of damping. And component f1 is obviously smaller than load force F of automobile, so the initial shock force of leaf spring increases, which leads to the decrease of ride comfort and smoothness of automobile.

[0005] ②The leaf spring designed with same curvature will be abraded when the load of automobile changes, due to the change of deformation of leaf spring, which leads to the relative sliding between plane of leaf spring and support point of automobile, and causes abrasion of leaf spring. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The support point of automobile and leaf spring is fixed with vehicle frame, L1 before deformation and L1 after maximum deformation are same (the distance of support point will not change); when dynamic load in automobile travel is conducted to leaf spring, elastic deformation of leaf spring occurs, L2 before deformation and L2 after deformation are not same (the contact point of leaf spring and support point will also change), the relative sliding between support point and plane of leaf spring occurs, which leads to abrasion of leaf spring and affects the service life of leaf spring.
