Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorber technology, and more specifically, to an automotive shock absorber valve seat. Background Technology
[0002] The valve seat of an automotive shock absorber is a crucial component. During use, the upper end of the valve seat is inserted into the lower end of the working cylinder within the shock absorber, and the valve seat is fixed to the working cylinder. Currently, automotive shock absorber valve seats on the market consist of a valve seat body with several circumferentially spaced oil passages. When the valve seat body is in use, a valve plate is installed in the middle of the upper end of the valve seat body to block the oil passages. When the valve plate is open, oil can flow through the oil passages; when the valve plate is attached to the upper end of the valve seat body and blocks the oil passages, it prevents oil from flowing through. However, in existing structures, because the valve plate only adheres to the upper end of the valve seat body when blocking the oil passages, there is a drawback in the reliability of the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat body, which affects the sealing effect of the valve plate on the oil passages. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a valve seat for an automotive shock absorber, which can improve the reliability of the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat body, that is, improve the sealing effect of the valve plate on the oil passage.
[0004] This utility model provides a valve seat for an automotive shock absorber, including a valve seat body with a plurality of oil passage holes arranged circumferentially at intervals. The valve seat also includes a first sealing ring. An annular groove is provided at the upper end of the valve seat body located outside the plurality of oil passage holes. An annular undercut groove is provided at the lower end of the annular groove and on both sides of the annular groove in the radial direction. An annular undercut part is provided at the lower end of the first sealing ring. The undercut part is inserted into the annular groove and engages with the annular undercut groove. The upper end of the first sealing ring protrudes from the annular groove and is used to tightly seal against the valve plate.
[0005] By adopting the above structure, when the valve plate needs to block the oil passage hole on the valve seat body, the outer edge of the valve plate can abut against the upper end face of the first sealing ring, thereby improving the reliability of the seal between the valve plate and the valve seat body, that is, improving the sealing effect of the valve plate on the oil passage hole; in addition, since the lower end of the first sealing ring is inserted into the annular groove, and the first sealing ring is fastened to the annular undercut groove through the undercut part, it has the advantage of reliable connection between the first sealing ring and the valve seat body.
[0006] In one possible implementation, the lower end of the undercut portion forms an inverted conical portion, which is used to guide and engage with the inner wall of the annular groove to facilitate insertion of the undercut portion into the annular groove and engagement with the annular undercut groove. With this structure, under the action of the inverted conical portion, during the process of insertion and engagement of the undercut portion with the annular groove and engagement with the annular undercut groove, the inverted conical portion can guide and engage with the inner wall of the annular groove to facilitate insertion of the undercut portion into the annular groove and engagement with the annular undercut groove. That is, it can facilitate the process of inserting the undercut portion into the annular groove and the process of engaging the undercut portion with the annular undercut groove.
[0007] In one possible implementation, the upper end face of the first sealing ring forms a ring-shaped dome surface; by adopting this structure, under the action of the ring-shaped dome surface, when the upper end of the first sealing ring abuts against the valve plate, the upper end of the first sealing ring can reliably seal against the lower end face of the valve plate.
[0008] In one possible implementation, the automotive shock absorber valve seat further includes a second sealing ring. An annular step is provided on the outer wall of the upper end of the valve seat body. The second sealing ring is supported on the annular step, and its inner circumferential wall is in close contact with the side wall of the annular step. Several annular ribs are provided on the upper surface of the second sealing ring, spaced apart from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the second sealing ring. The upper end of the second sealing ring and the annular ribs are used to abut against and tightly seal against the lower end of the working cylinder. With this structure, under the action of the second sealing ring, after the upper end of the valve seat body is engaged with the working cylinder, the second sealing ring can seal the gap between the valve seat body and the working cylinder. Furthermore, under the action of the several annular ribs, when the second sealing ring abuts against the end of the working cylinder, all the annular ribs can deform and tightly seal against the end of the working cylinder, thereby improving the sealing effect of the second sealing ring on the gap between the valve seat body and the working cylinder.
[0009] In one possible implementation, an annular rounded corner surface is provided at the outer edge of the upper end of the valve seat body. The annular rounded corner surface is used to guide and cooperate with the inner wall of the working cylinder to facilitate the insertion of the upper end of the valve seat body into the working cylinder. With this structure, when the valve seat body and the working cylinder are assembled at their ends, the annular rounded corner surface can cooperate and guide with the inner wall of the working cylinder to facilitate the insertion of the upper end of the valve seat body into the working cylinder, which facilitates the assembly of the valve seat body and the working cylinder. In addition, during the process of assembling the second sealing ring onto the annular step, the annular rounded corner surface can cooperate and guide with the inner circumferential wall of the second sealing ring to facilitate the assembly of the second sealing ring onto the annular step.
