Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive shock absorber accessories, and more specifically, to an automotive shock absorber piston. Background Technology

[0002] The piston in an automotive shock absorber is a crucial component. During operation, the piston is installed inside the working cylinder within the shock absorber, and the piston and working cylinder are slidably connected. Furthermore, a sealing ring is fitted onto the outer wall of the piston to seal the gap between the piston and the working cylinder. However, in this structure, because the sealing ring relies solely on contractile force to adhere to the outer wall of the piston, when the piston slides relative to the working cylinder, the friction between the outer wall of the sealing ring and the inner wall of the working cylinder can easily cause axial displacement of the sealing ring relative to the piston, or even cause it to detach from the piston. This affects the sealing effect of the sealing ring on the gap between the piston and the working cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an automotive shock absorber piston that can effectively prevent the sealing ring from axially displacing relative to the piston body or even detaching from the piston body, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing ring on the gap between the piston body and the working cylinder.

[0004] This utility model provides a piston for an automotive shock absorber, including a piston body. A sealing ring is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the piston body by an overmolding process. Several annular protrusions are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the piston body, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the piston body. The annular protrusions are embedded in annular grooves formed on the inner wall of the sealing ring. Several holes are provided on the outer wall of the piston body between each two adjacent annular protrusions, which are spaced apart along the circumferential direction of the piston body. Each hole is a blind hole and extends inward along the radial direction of the piston body. A first insert is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring to fit into each hole.

[0005] By adopting the above-mentioned structure, this utility model, under the locking action of the annular convex edge and the annular groove, and under the locking action of the first insert and the insert hole, can effectively prevent the sealing ring from axially displacing relative to the piston body or even detaching from the piston body when the piston body slides relative to the working cylinder, thereby ensuring the sealing effect of the sealing ring on the gap between the piston body and the working cylinder.

[0006] In one possible implementation, an annular conical surface is provided on the inner wall of the outer end of each insert; by adopting this structure, during the process of wrapping the sealing ring onto the outer peripheral wall of the piston body through the overmolding process, the raw material used to make the sealing ring can more smoothly penetrate into the insert and solidify to form the first insert under the action of the annular conical surface.

[0007] In one possible implementation, a plurality of reinforcing blocks are provided on the outer wall of the piston body between each pair of adjacent annular protrusions, spaced apart in the circumferential direction around the piston body. A groove is formed between each pair of adjacent reinforcing blocks, and a second insert is provided on the inner wall of the sealing ring for engaging with each groove. By adopting this structure, the connection strength between the two adjacent annular protrusions and the piston body can be improved under the action of the reinforcing blocks, and the connection strength between the sealing ring and the piston body can be further improved after each second insert engages with the groove at the corresponding position.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the upper and lower ends of each reinforcing block are integrally connected to the adjacent annular protrusions; by adopting this structure, each reinforcing block can achieve a tightening effect on the two adjacent annular protrusions, thereby further improving the connection strength between the annular protrusions and the piston body.

[0009] In one possible implementation, a plurality of oil discharge holes are provided at the center of the piston body in the radial direction, and are spaced apart in the circumferential direction around the piston body. Each oil discharge hole axially penetrates the piston body, and a plurality of reinforcing ribs are provided on the inner side of each oil discharge hole, which are spaced apart in the circumferential direction around the piston body. Each reinforcing rib is integrally connected to the piston body located on the side wall of the oil discharge hole. By adopting this structure, the structural strength of the piston body located at each oil discharge hole can be improved. Attached Figure Description

[0019] See Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this application discloses an automotive shock absorber piston, including a piston body 1. A sealing ring 2 is formed on the outer peripheral wall of the piston body 1 by a rubber coating process. A plurality of annular protrusions 11 are provided on the outer peripheral wall of the piston body 1, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the piston body 1. The annular protrusions 11 are fixedly embedded in the annular grooves 21 formed on the inner wall of the sealing ring 2.

By adopting this structure, under the action of the reinforcing blocks, the connection strength between the two adjacent annular protrusions and the piston body can be improved. Furthermore, after each second insert engages with the groove at the corresponding position, the connection strength between the sealing ring and the piston body can be further improved.

[0022] The upper and lower ends of each reinforcing block 13 are connected to the adjacent annular protrusion 11. With this structure, each reinforcing block can tighten the two adjacent annular protrusions, thereby further improving the connection strength between the annular protrusions and the piston body.

Each reinforcing rib 16 is integrally connected to the piston body 1 located on the side wall of the oil discharge hole 15.
