The spring force of existing shock absorbers is fixed, making it difficult to dynamically and precisely adjust according to the real-time driving conditions of the vehicle, resulting in limited ways to adjust the shock absorption performance.
An improved monotube shock absorber was designed. An upper mounting seat was fitted onto the piston rod surface, and a shock-absorbing spring was set between the lower and upper mounting seats. In conjunction with a pressure block and an adjusting block, the pressure of the pressure block on the shock-absorbing spring was adjusted by rotating the adjusting block, thereby changing the pre-compression amount to adapt to different usage scenarios and load requirements. At the same time, a sealing ring and a dust cover were set on the piston rod surface to improve the sealing performance.
It enables dynamic adjustment of the shock absorber to adapt to different usage scenarios and load requirements, and prevents damping oil leakage through a sealing structure, thereby extending the service life of the shock absorber and ensuring stable and reliable operation.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vibration damping equipment technology, and in particular to an improved monotube vibration damper. Background Technology
[0002] Shock absorbers are used to suppress the oscillations when the spring absorbs shock and rebounds, as well as the impact from the road surface. They are widely used in automobiles to accelerate the attenuation of vibrations in the chassis and body, thereby improving the ride comfort of the vehicle.
[0003] In the existing technology, the damping performance adjustment methods of shock absorbers are limited and not precise enough. The spring force inside the existing shock absorbers is fixed. Most traditional shock absorbers can only change the damping characteristics by replacing springs of different specifications. They cannot be dynamically and precisely adjusted according to the real-time driving conditions of the vehicle, so improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0018] To better understand the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in these embodiments can be combined with each other.
[0019] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed in the following specification.
[0020] Example 1: As Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: an improved monotube shock absorber, including a shock absorber body 1, the shock absorber body 1 including a piston rod 101, a damping valve piston 102 fixedly installed at one end of the piston rod 101, an isolation piston 103 fixedly installed inside the shock absorber body 1, an oil reservoir 104, a working chamber 105 and an air chamber 106 provided inside the shock absorber body 1, an upper fixed seat 2 provided on the upper end face of the shock absorber body 1, and a lower fixed seat 3 provided on the lower end face of the shock absorber body 1. A lower mounting base 4 is fixedly installed on the side, and an upper mounting base 5 is sleeved on the surface of the piston rod 101. A shock-absorbing spring 6 is provided between the lower mounting base 4 and the upper mounting base 5. A pressure block 7 is provided on the upper surface of the upper mounting base 5, and an adjusting block 8 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the pressure block 7. A threaded groove 9 is opened at one end of the piston rod 101, and a guide rod 10 is fixedly installed on the surface of the lower mounting base 4. The pressure block 7 and the piston rod 101 are slidably connected, the adjusting block 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9, and the upper mounting base 5 is slidably connected to the guide rod 10.
[0021] In this embodiment, by mounting a seat 5 on the surface of the piston rod 101 and setting a damping spring 6 between the lower mounting seat 4 and the upper mounting seat 5, and cooperating with the pressure block 7 and the adjusting block 8, when the adjusting block 8 is rotated, since the adjusting block 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9 at one end of the piston rod 101, the pressure of the pressure block 7 on the damping spring 6 can be adjusted, thereby changing the pre-compression of the damping spring 6, and realizing the initial adjustment of the overall damping performance of the shock absorber to adapt to different usage scenarios and load requirements.
[0022] Example 2: As Figures 1-3 As shown, the piston rod 101 has a sealing ring A11 and a sealing ring B12 on its surface. The shock absorber body 1 has a sealing groove A13 and a sealing groove B14 on its inner side. A dust cover 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the shock absorber body 1. The sealing ring A11 is fitted into the sealing groove A13, and the sealing ring B12 is fitted into the sealing groove B14. The dust cover 15 is located at the connection between the top of the shock absorber body 1 and the piston rod 101. The sealing ring A11 is made of polytetrafluoroethylene, and the sealing ring B12 is made of natural rubber.
[0023] In this embodiment, by providing sealing rings A11 and B12 on the surface of piston rod 101, and installing a dust cover 15 at the connection between the top of the shock absorber body 1 and piston rod 101, the sealing ring A11 made of polytetrafluoroethylene has a low coefficient of friction and good sealing performance, while the sealing ring B12 made of natural rubber further enhances the sealing effect. The dust cover 15 can prevent dust, impurities, etc. from entering the interior of the shock absorber, effectively improving the sealing performance of the shock absorber, reducing the risk of damping oil leakage, protecting the internal structure, extending the service life of the shock absorber, and ensuring its stable and reliable operation.
[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When installing this improved monotube shock absorber, the shock absorber body 1 is first securely connected to the corresponding position of the equipment to be damped via the upper fixed seat 2 and the lower fixed seat 3, ensuring a firm installation. At this time, the damping valve piston 102 at one end of the piston rod 101 is located in the working chamber 105 inside the shock absorber body 1. The internal isolation piston 103 reasonably separates the oil storage chamber 104, the working chamber 105, and the air chamber 106. The lower mounting seat 4 is fixed to the side of the shock absorber body 1, and the guide rod 10 installed on it plays a guiding role. When the equipment vibrates during operation, the vibration is transmitted to the piston rod 101, causing it to reciprocate up and down. During the movement, the upper mounting seat 5 slides along the guide rod 10 to ensure the stability of the movement. At the same time, the damping spring 6 is installed between the lower mounting seat 4 and the upper mounting seat 5. The movement of the piston rod 101 drives the upper mounting seat 5 to compress or stretch the damping spring 6, playing a preliminary damping and buffering role. If it is necessary to adjust the damping performance, the pressure block 7 can be rotated. The adjusting block 8 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9 at one end of the piston rod 101. Rotating the adjusting block 8 will cause it to move within the threaded groove 9, thereby causing the pressure block 7 to slide on the piston rod 101, changing the pressure of the pressure block 7 on the damping spring 6, and adjusting the pre-compression of the damping spring 6 to meet different usage scenarios and load requirements. During the operation of the shock absorber, the sealing rings A11 and B12 on the surface of the piston rod 101 play an important role in preventing damping oil leakage and impurities from entering. The polytetrafluoroethylene sealing ring A11 fits into the sealing groove A13 on the inner side of the shock absorber body 1. With its low coefficient of friction and good sealing performance, it initially blocks the leakage of damping oil. The natural rubber sealing ring B12 further fits into the sealing groove B14 to enhance the sealing effect. In addition, the dust cover 15 located at the connection between the top of the shock absorber body 1 and the piston rod 101 can effectively block the intrusion of dust, impurities, etc., and comprehensively ensure the stability of the internal structure of the shock absorber and maintain normal working conditions.
[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any other way. Any person skilled in the art may make changes or modifications to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments for application in other fields. However, any simple modifications, equivalent changes, and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the technical solution of the present utility model shall still fall within the protection scope of the technical solution of the present utility model.
