AI Technical Summary
Frequent start-stop and energy recovery conditions in new energy vehicle shock absorbers exacerbate oil cavitation, causing noise and damping force fluctuations due to bubble bursts. Existing defoaming technologies cannot effectively solve the problem of bubble generation under dynamic operating conditions.
By employing an asymmetric flow channel design and gas-liquid separation technology, real-time bubble separation is achieved through the anti-foaming ring in the guide assembly, stabilizing the damping force output and eliminating abnormal noise from bubble bursting.
Significant reductions in damping force fluctuation amplitude and noise were achieved, with damping force fluctuation amplitude decreasing from ±15% to ±3% and noise reduced by 12dB.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0020] The utility model will be further explained according to the drawings.
[0021] As Figure 1The application discloses a shock absorber with anti-foaming function, which comprises an inner cylinder 1, an outer cylinder 2, a piston rod 3, a guide assembly 4, a supporting ring 5 and a rebound pad 6, wherein the outer side of the inner cylinder 1 is provided with the outer cylinder 2, one end of the inner cylinder 1 is provided with the guide assembly 4, the top end of the inner cylinder 1 and the outer side of the guide assembly 4 are in abutment, the top of the guide assembly 4 is provided with an oil seal 7, the top of the outer cylinder 2 is fixed with the oil seal 7 through the flanging of the cylinder wall, the piston rod 3 penetrates through the guide assembly 4 and extends into the inner cylinder 1 on one side and is arranged on the outer side of the outer cylinder 2 on the other side, the piston rod 3 is provided with a mounting groove on one side in the inner cylinder 1 and is mounted with the supporting ring 5, the supporting ring 5 is mounted with the rebound pad 6 on the side close to the guide assembly 4, the guide assembly 4 comprises a guide body 8, an anti-foaming ring 9 and a bushing 10, the guide body 8 is internally provided with a stepped hole, the bushing 10 is arranged at the bottom of the stepped hole, an oil seal seat is arranged at the top of the stepped hole, the lower side cavity of the oil seal seat is uniformly provided with an oil discharge channel 11, the anti-foaming ring 9 is arranged on the outer side of the lower end of the guide body 8, the lower end of the anti-foaming ring 9 is uniformly provided with an auxiliary oil channel 12, the anti-foaming ring 9 is in a "N" shape in cross section, the anti-foaming ring 9 is smoothly transitioned at the turning position, a cavity is formed between the anti-foaming ring 9 and the guide body 8, and the bottom of the anti-foaming ring 9 is in abutment with the top of the inner cylinder 1.
[0022] A gap is arranged between the supporting ring 5 and the inner cylinder 1, and a gap is arranged between the anti-foaming ring 9 and the outer cylinder 2.
[0023] The rebound pad 6 is in interference fit with the piston rod 3, so that the rebound pad 6 is fixed on the piston rod 3.
[0024] The outer side of the guide body 8 is uniformly provided with inclined reinforcing ribs 13, so that the strength of the guide assembly 4 is improved.
[0025] The outer side of the bushing 10 is provided with a lubricating coating, so that the friction is reduced.
[0026] The inner part of the shock absorber is filled with shock absorber oil and air, when the shock absorber is at rest, the shock absorber oil is located at the lower part of the shock absorber, the air is located at the upper part of the shock absorber, and the oil and the air are separated. When the shock absorber moves, the oil flows in the inner cylinder 1 and the outer cylinder 2, at this time, the air is partially dissolved in the oil, and bubbles are generated. When the shock absorber is stretched, the oil in the inner cylinder 1 enters the outer cylinder 2 through the oil discharge channel. When the oil containing a large amount of bubbles passes through the gap between the anti-foaming ring 9 and the outer cylinder 2, the bubbles are filtered and remain in the cavity formed between the anti-foaming ring 9 and the guide assembly 4, so that the bubbles do not flow out of the valve system at the bottom of the shock absorber, thereby avoiding the adverse effects on the damping force value of the shock absorber and the noise caused by the concentrated rupture.
[0027] Under the continuous compression-rebound working condition, the peak value of oil flow rate of automobile shock absorber reaches 18 m / s, the instantaneous pressure difference of valve system exceeds 2 MPa, which causes the dissolved gas to precipitate to form bubble groups with a diameter of 50-200 μm. These bubbles break when flowing through the throttle valve, not only causing the nonlinear jump of damping force (the fluctuation amplitude reaches ±18%), but also generating 68 dB pulse noise in the frequency band of 800-1500 Hz. The utility model adopts the anti-bubble ring structure of the guider, realizes the real-time separation of bubbles in the movement process of the valve system through the asymmetric flow channel design and gas-liquid separation technology. The utility model can compress the fluctuation amplitude of damping force to ±3%, and reduce the bubble breaking noise by 12 dB.
