[0021] In Figure 2 And Figure 3In the suspension system, the spring damping mechanism 6 includes a suspension rod 61. The lower end of the suspension rod 61 is fixedly connected to an inner slide rod 63. The lower end of the outer side of the inner slide rod 63 is slidably connected to an outer slide rod 64. The outer sides of the inner slide rod 63 and the outer slide rod 64 are jointly sleeved with a damping spring 65. The lower end of the damping spring 65 is fixedly connected to a lower limit plate 66. The lower end of the outer side of the suspension rod 61 is equipped with an upper limit plate 62. The damping spring 65 is located between the upper limit plate 62 and the lower limit plate 66. By adjusting the position of the upper limit plate 62 on the suspension rod 61, the pressure of the damping spring 65 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the stiffness of the suspension system.

[0022] exist Figure 2 and Figure 4 In the hydraulic damping mechanism 8, a piston 82 is included. A piston rod 83 is fixedly connected through the inner side of the piston 82. An upper compression valve 81 is installed at the lower end of the piston rod 83, and a flange 84 is fixedly connected at the upper end of the piston rod 83. The piston 82 and the upper compression valve 81 are both slidably connected to the inner wall of the inner cylinder shell 2. The piston 82 and the upper compression valve 81 divide the interior of the inner cylinder shell 2 into three parts: the lower part is between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9, which is filled with hydraulic oil; the middle part is between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9, which contains some hydraulic oil; and the upper part of the upper compression valve 81 has no hydraulic oil, meaning that the spring damping mechanism 6 has no contact with the hydraulic oil.

[0023] exist Figure 4 and Figure 5In the middle, the upper compression valve 81 includes a valve seat 811 and a valve cover 812 that matches the valve seat 811. A return spring 815 is installed between the valve seat 811 and the valve cover 812. A screw 816 passes through the inner side of both the valve seat 811 and the valve cover 812. A double-ended nut 813 is engaged with the upper end of the screw 816. Several upper liquid outlet holes 814 are formed in a ring on the inner side of the valve cover 812, and several lower liquid outlet holes 817 are formed in a ring on the inner side of the valve seat 811. The upper end of the double-ended nut 813 is engaged with the lower end of the piston rod 83, so that the upper compression valve 81 is mounted on the piston rod 83. The flange 84 is fixedly mounted on the lower end of the lower limit plate 66 through a connecting piece, so that the hydraulic damping mechanism 8 and the spring damping mechanism 6 are mounted together. The upper liquid outlet holes 814 and The lower outlet holes 817 are staggered. When the valve cover 812 and valve seat 811 are tightly fitted together by the elastic force of the return spring 815, the upper outlet hole 814 and the lower outlet hole 817 do not flow between each other. That is, the hydraulic oil is blocked by the valve seat 811 and the valve cover 812 and cannot flow from the lower part of the valve seat 811 to the upper part of the valve cover 812. Under normal conditions, the distance between the double-ended nut 813 and the screw 816 is greater than the height between the valve cover 812 and the valve seat 811. When the hydraulic oil impacts the valve cover 812 and the valve seat 811, the return spring 815 is pulled, and the valve cover 812 and the valve seat 811 move towards or opposite each other along the screw 816, so that the hydraulic oil can flow between the upper outlet hole 814 and the lower outlet hole 817. The working principle of the lower compression valve 9 is the same as that of the hydraulic damping mechanism 8.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, the upper end of the hanger 61 is installed on the vehicle body structure, and the hanger ring 5 is installed on the vehicle suspension system; then, the lower part of the cavity structure is filled with hydraulic oil, the upper part of the cavity structure is filled with compressed gas that is insoluble in hydraulic oil, and the inner cylinder shell 2 is filled with hydraulic oil between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9; a portion of hydraulic oil is filled between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9.

[0025] When the vehicle is in motion, the suspension rod 61 is subjected to increased downward pressure due to bumps. The suspension rod 61 presses down on the upper limit plate 62 and the inner slide rod 63, the shock absorber spring 65 is compressed, the inner slide rod 63 slides inward to the inner side of the outer sleeve rod 64, and at the same time the entire spring shock absorber mechanism 6 also slides downward inside the inner cylinder shell 2, thereby playing a shock absorption role.

[0026] When the spring damping mechanism 6 slides downward, it pushes the entire hydraulic damping mechanism 8 downward, causing the lower part of the upper compression valve 81 to be resisted by hydraulic oil. The hydraulic oil pushes the valve cover 812 upward from the lower outlet hole 817. The valve cover 812 moves upward along the screw 816, causing the valve cover 812 and the valve seat 811 to separate. At the same time, the return spring 815 is subjected to tension. At this time, the hydraulic oil flows from the lower outlet hole 817 into the upper outlet hole 814, and then into the cavity between the upper compression valve 81 and the piston 82. Due to the sealing and blocking effect of the piston 82, the hydraulic oil can no longer flow upward, thus playing a damping role again.

[0027] When the hydraulic damping mechanism 8 slides downward, the hydraulic oil between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9 is pressurized, causing a portion of the hydraulic oil to enter the lower cavity structure between the outer cylinder shell 1 and the inner cylinder shell 2 through the lower compression valve 9. The hydraulic oil in the lower cavity structure pushes the compressed gas in the upper cavity upward, and the compressed air becomes smaller under pressure, thus playing a damping role again.

[0028] Conversely, when the downward pressure on the boom 61 decreases, the compressed air expands, pushing the hydraulic oil in the lower cavity between the outer shell 1 and the inner shell 2 downwards. The hydraulic oil pushes the lower compression valve 9 downwards, causing some hydraulic oil to enter between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9. When the hydraulic oil between the upper compression valve 81 and the lower compression valve 9 is subjected to an upward thrust, it pushes the hydraulic damping mechanism 8 and the spring damping mechanism 6 to move upwards. At the same time, the outer sleeve rod 64 inside the spring damping mechanism 6 returns to its original position upwards, causing the boom 61 to move upwards and thus return to its original position. This effectively reduces vehicle bumps and improves vehicle comfort and handling.

[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
