[0003] In the automobile suspension system, the external electromagnetic valve is an important component of electronic control shock absorber, which can control the flow rate of oil in the electronic control shock absorber, so as to change the damping force of the electronic control shock absorber, improve the comfort of driving a car, for example, the patent application with the announcement number CN118979930A discloses an external electromagnetic valve with oil return structure and an electronic control shock absorber with the same, which can control the flow rate of oil between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder of the shock absorber in both directions. However, the structure of the electromagnetic valve is relatively complex, the inlet valve body (upper valve body) and the floating valve body are assembled in the main valve body (lower valve body), and the main valve body needs to wrap the inlet valve body and rivet it; since the material and machining precision of the main valve body are required to be high, such design leads to high machining cost of the electromagnetic valve, and the machining precision of the main valve body needs to be ensured during subsequent assembly, which increases the assembly difficulty. SUMMARY

[0020] As Figures 1-4 Indicated, the utility model discloses a kind of external electromagnetic valve for electric control shock absorber: including shell 1 and control valve core assembly 2 and electromagnetic drive assembly 3 sequentially arranged from top to bottom in shell 1.
[0021] The control valve core assembly 2 comprises a sleeve 21, an upper valve body 22, a lower valve body 23, a floating valve body 24 and a valve disc set 25. The sleeve 21 is arranged in the housing 1 and a first flow channel 26 is formed between the sleeve 21 and the housing 1; the upper valve body 22 and the lower valve body 23 are fixedly arranged in the sleeve 21 from top to bottom, and a liquid flow cavity 27 is formed between the upper valve body 22 and the lower valve body 23; three inflow holes 221 are arranged on the upper valve body 22 in a circumferential direction and penetrating through the upper valve body 22 from top to bottom; the valve disc set 25 is coaxially fixed on the bottom of the upper valve body 22 by rivets or bolts; a first annular boss 222 is arranged on the bottom of the upper valve body 22 outside the inflow holes 221; the upper end surface of the valve disc set 25 abuts against the first annular boss 222 for closing the inflow holes 221; an outflow hole 211 is arranged between the upper valve body 22 and the lower valve body 23 and penetrates through the outer circumferential wall of the sleeve 21 in a radial direction, for connecting the first flow channel 26 and the liquid flow cavity 27; a second annular boss 223 is arranged on the bottom of the upper valve body 22 outside the first annular boss 222; the floating valve body 24 is movably connected in the liquid flow cavity 27, and the upper end of the floating valve body 24 abuts against the second annular boss 223 of the upper valve body 22 for closing the outflow hole 211; a convex shaft 241 is arranged on the lower end of the floating valve body 24, and the convex shaft 241 penetrates through the center hole of the lower valve body 23 and abuts against the output end of the electromagnetic drive assembly 3.
[0022] The sleeve 21 made of stainless steel is used to spin rivet the upper valve body 22 and the lower valve body 23 together, so that the material of the lower valve body 23 is saved and the production cost is reduced; the sleeve 21 is easier to process and has low precision requirement, so that the subsequent assembly is more convenient.

In the process of changing the hydraulic oil pressure, the deformation amount of the outer edge of the valve disc set 25 can also change linearly, so that the flow of the hydraulic oil is also linearly changed, and then the electronic control shock absorber can exert a linear damping force on the damping system of the vehicle, thereby improving the comfort when driving the vehicle.

In the process, the pressure in the annular cavity 28 increases, thereby pushing the floating valve body 24 to move upwards, so that the upper end of the floating valve body 24 is abutted with the second annular convex platform 223, thereby closing the outflow hole 211.
[0026] The electromagnetic drive assembly 3 comprises a magnetic conducting shell 31 and a base 32 arranged from top to bottom, the magnetic conducting shell 31 is provided with a central shaft hole, a movable armature top rod 33 is slidably connected in the central shaft hole, an annular containing cavity 311 is arranged between the magnetic conducting shell 31 and the base 32, and a coil group 34 is arranged around the movable armature top rod 33 in the containing cavity 311, which is prior art, and will not be described in detail here.
