Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a lifting ring used on an automotive shock absorber. Background Technology

[0002] Shock absorbers are an important component of a car's suspension system. They eliminate vibrations from the road surface, improve driving stability, and provide the driver with comfort and stability.

[0003] Shock absorber struts (also known as car stabilizer bars or car struts) are key components of the shock absorbers in a car's suspension system. Their main function is to connect the car body to the wheels, reduce body roll by transmitting lateral forces, and improve driving stability and handling.

[0004] Existing shock absorber hangers consist of two hanging rings on either side, each with a ball joint that can rotate freely within a certain angle. A dust cover is fitted around the outer ring of the ball joint, and the two hanging rings are fixedly connected by a central connecting rod. In current applications, the two hanging rings and the central connecting rod are typically welded together or cast as a single piece.

[0005] Chinese Patent Publication (Announcement) No.: CN210101242U, Patent Title: Automobile Front Lateral Stabilizer Bar Hanger, which discloses the technical solution of "

[0005] Automobile front lateral stabilizer bar hanger, characterized in that... the second ball head shaft has a slight offset in the ball head part in addition to axial rotation", and achieves the technical effect of "

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effect of this utility model is that the diameter of the shaft part of the second ball head shaft is smaller than the diameter of the second shaft hole... thereby ensuring the shock absorption effect".

[0006] Chinese Patent Publication (Announcement) No.: CN209795092U, Patent Title: An Automobile and its Hanger Assembly. It discloses the technical solution of "

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objective, this utility model provides a hanger assembly... to prevent the spindle from detaching from the connection port of the hanger body when the spindle swings", and achieves the technical effect of "

[0016] Specifically... the above-mentioned arrangement can reduce the bump force of the two wheels, extend the life of the shock absorber, and make the driving operation more flexible and the ride more comfortable. At the same time, it can make the vehicle more stable and safer when turning".

[0007] As can be seen from their attached diagrams, the two eyelets are connected to the central connecting rod either by welding or by integral casting. In automotive applications, the two eyelets on the shock absorber hanger connect to the vehicle body via an integrally connected ball joint on one eyelet, and to the wheel via the same ball joint. The ball joint connecting to the wheel is more susceptible to damage due to the greater impact of road bumps. When replacement is needed, due to the limitations of the original component structure, only the entire shock absorber hanger assembly can be replaced, requiring the removal of both ball joints, which is time-consuming and expensive. Summary of the Invention

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suspension ring for use in automotive shock absorbers to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0009] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical measures: a suspension ring used on an automobile shock absorber, characterized in that: the suspension ring is composed of two parts, a suspension ring body and a connector, a connector with internal threads is welded to the side of the suspension ring body, a transverse reinforcing rib and a longitudinal reinforcing rib are provided between the connector and the suspension ring body, and a stepped surface is provided on the connector near the transverse reinforcing rib.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by setting a joint with internal threads on the lifting ring body, when in use, it is connected to the intermediate connecting rod to form a lifting rod. When the lifting rod is worn and needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to unscrew the threads and replace the lifting ring (with ball head) on the damaged side. It is convenient to disassemble and assemble, saving time and money.

[0011] As an improvement of this utility model, the height of the longitudinal reinforcing rib is greater than the height of the transverse reinforcing rib. The purpose of this design is that, since the lifting ring body is mainly subjected to longitudinal pressure during operation, the longitudinal position needs to be strengthened to optimize strength without increasing the joint wall thickness, reduce material consumption, and lower the weight of the parts, thus meeting the design requirements for lightweight automotive components.

[0012] As an improvement to this utility model, the longitudinal reinforcing ribs are two in number, symmetrically arranged vertically. The purpose of this design is that the symmetrical arrangement can solve the problem of uneven internal stress and prevent the parts from twisting and deforming.

[0013] As an improvement to this utility model, the transverse reinforcing ribs are two in number, symmetrically arranged on the left and right. The purpose of this design is that the symmetrical arrangement can solve the problem of uneven internal stress and prevent the parts from twisting and deforming.

[0014] As an improvement to this utility model, the left and right sets of lifting rings are connected by a threaded connection through a central connecting rod. The purpose of choosing this design is to save parts by replacing the traditional integral, non-removable structure with this detachable structure.

[0015] As an improvement of this utility model, the surface of the intermediate connecting rod is provided with a clamping plane. The purpose of this design is to place tools such as wrenches on the clamping plane for easy assembly and disassembly. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please refer to Figure 1 -4.

[0026] This embodiment provides a lifting ring for use on an automotive shock absorber, specifically for use on the shock absorber hanger. Please refer to... Figure 2 The shock absorber suspension rod includes two lifting ring bodies 1 on the left and right sides. Each lifting ring body 1 has a connector 2 with internal threads 3 on its side. The two connectors 2 are fixedly connected by a central connecting rod 7. A ball joint shaft 10, capable of free rotation at a certain angle, is installed inside the seat of the lifting ring body 1. A dust cover 12 is fitted onto the bottom center of the ball joint shaft 10, and a fixing nut 11 is installed on the ball joint shaft 10. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 3Compared with existing shock absorber rods, this new structure is detachable, unlike the traditional one-piece structure.

[0027] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 1 The lifting ring consists of two parts: the lifting ring body 1 and the connector 2. The connector 2 is provided on the side of the lifting ring body 1, and the two are fixed by a welding part 9.

[0028] Furthermore, a stepped surface 6 is provided on the joint 2 near the transverse reinforcing rib 4. During disassembly, a wrench can clamp the stepped surface 6 for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0029] Furthermore, a transverse reinforcing rib 4 and a longitudinal reinforcing rib 5 are provided between the connector 2 and the lifting ring body 1, wherein the height of the longitudinal reinforcing rib 5 is greater than the height of the transverse reinforcing rib 4. This is because the lifting ring body 1 is mainly subjected to longitudinal pressure during operation, so the longitudinal position needs to be reinforced for support. This optimizes strength without increasing the wall thickness of the connector 2, reduces material consumption, and lowers the weight of the parts, meeting the design requirements for lightweight automotive components.

[0030] Furthermore, there are two longitudinal reinforcing ribs 5, arranged symmetrically vertically; and two transverse reinforcing ribs 4, arranged symmetrically horizontally. This symmetrical arrangement helps to address uneven internal stress and prevents the parts from twisting or deforming under stress.

[0031] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 2 The left and right sets of lifting rings are connected by a threaded connection rod 7 in the middle. This detachable structure replaces the traditional one-piece, non-detachable structure, saving parts during replacement.

[0032] In the embodiments of this utility model application, please refer to Figure 4 The intermediate connecting rod 7 has a clamping plane 8 on its surface, and both ends of the intermediate connecting rod 7 are provided with external threads 14 for threaded connection with the connector 2. The clamping plane 8 is used to place tools such as wrenches for easy assembly and disassembly.

[0033] This embodiment provides a suspension ring for use on an automotive shock absorber. The suspension ring includes a suspension ring body 1 and a connector 2, which are fixed together by welding. At the same time, transverse reinforcing ribs 4 and longitudinal reinforcing ribs 5 are provided on both to make the connection between the connector 2 and the suspension ring body 1 more secure.

[0034] This embodiment provides a suspension ring for use on an automotive shock absorber. Before being assembled onto the shock absorber, it needs to be connected by threading in an intermediate connecting rod 7 and secured with a lock nut 13 to prevent the threads from loosening. A ball head shaft 10, a fixing nut 11, and a dust cover 12 are assembled inside the suspension ring body 1 to form a complete shock absorber suspension rod.

[0035] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by setting a connector 2 with internal thread 3 on the lifting ring body 1, when in use, it is connected with the intermediate connecting rod 7 to form a lifting rod. When the lifting rod is worn and needs to be replaced, it is only necessary to unscrew the thread and replace the lifting ring (with ball head) on the damaged side. It is convenient to disassemble and assemble, saving time and money.
