Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle engineering technology, and in particular to a bidirectional dynamic damping adjustable vertical tie rod for automobile chassis. Background Technology
[0002] Chassis tie rods play a crucial role in automotive chassis components. Their core function is to effectively suppress excessive lateral tilting of the vehicle body during steering maneuvers, striving to maintain vehicle stability. Specifically, when a vehicle turns, if the side suspensions move asynchronously, the outer suspension applies pressure to the tie rod, causing it to deform. At this time, the elastic force of the rod resists the upward tendency of the wheels, thus helping the vehicle maintain stability and playing a key role in lateral stabilization. In addition, chassis tie rods significantly improve the overall rigidity of the vehicle body, effectively resisting body deformation and wheel misalignment. They are typically installed at the front and rear axles and the front and rear connections to the chassis frame. Current technology offers limited functionality and poor adaptability for chassis tie rods. Traditional stabilizer bar tie rods only provide mechanical support, lacking dynamic damping adjustment capabilities and unable to adapt to complex road conditions. Furthermore, their fixed structure makes it difficult to meet the personalized needs of different vehicle models, resulting in low modification flexibility.

Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] Reference Figures 1-3The first embodiment of this utility model discloses a bidirectional dynamic damping adjustable automotive chassis vertical tie rod, characterized in that it includes a joint ball joint 101, a connecting rod 102, a bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103, an isolation piston 104, a guide seal 105, and a cylinder 100; the joint ball joint 101 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 102, and the other end of the connecting rod 102 is connected to the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103; the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 is installed inside the cylinder 100; the guide seal 105 is installed inside the cylinder 100; the connecting rod 102 passes through the guide seal 105; the isolation piston 104 is installed inside the cylinder 100; and a cavity is provided between the isolation piston 104 and the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103. Specifically, the cylinder body 100 has a hollow internal structure. A guide seal 105 is installed at one end of the cylinder body 100, and the guide seal 105 has an opening at its center. The connecting rod 102 passes through the guide seal 105 and connects to the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 inside the cylinder body 100. The opening in the guide seal 105 is adapted to the diameter of the connecting rod 102, which not only provides a sealing function but also provides a guiding function for the connecting rod 102. The bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 slides with the movement of the joint ball joint. The cylinder body 100 has a hollow internal structure, and an oil chamber 106 and an air chamber 107 are provided inside the cylinder body 100. The cavity formed between the isolation piston 104 and the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 is the oil chamber 106, and the cavity formed between the other side of the isolation piston 104 and the tail of the cylinder body 100 is the air chamber 107. The oil chamber 106 is filled with damping oil specifically for shock absorption, with an operating temperature range of -40℃ to +120℃. The air chamber 107 is filled with high-pressure nitrogen, which provides support, buffering, and compensation. An isolation piston 104 is installed between the oil chamber 106 and the air chamber 107 for isolation. The isolation piston 104 moves within the cylinder body 100. The oil chamber 106 and the air chamber 107 are isolated by a movable isolation piston 104. Additionally, the bidirectional valve-type damping piston 103 includes a piston assembly 108, a sealing ring 109, and a piston guide 110. The piston assembly 108 includes a piston 111 and a valve plate 112. The valve plate 112 is installed on one side of the piston 111. The piston assemblies 108 are configured as a pair, with the sealing ring 109 installed between them. The piston guide 110 is installed beside each piston assembly 108. The piston guide 110 can provide guidance for the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103, which can make the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 run more smoothly.
[0027] When the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 is in its extension stroke, the oil generates damping force through the main throttling orifice; when the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 is in its compression stroke, the oil works in conjunction with the deformation of the valve plate 112 through the secondary throttling orifice. To accommodate different damping forces, several slots 113 are provided on the valve plate 112. At the same time, the bidirectional valve plate damping piston 103 uses multiple layers of valve plates and stacked open valve plates (adjusted according to requirements). The slotted dimensions of the extension slotted valve plate and the compression slotted valve plate are different to compensate for the difference in extension / compression damping forces. When the damping requirement is low at low speeds, it is released through the open valve plate; when the impact is large and the damping requirement is high, it is met through the multiple layers of valve plates. When high-frequency vibrations occur, the high-pressure nitrogen gas in the air chamber 107 compresses and absorbs the impact energy, providing rigid support at the limit stroke to prevent metal-to-metal collisions. Additionally, the bidirectional valve-type damping system incorporates multi-layered valve-plate stacked pistons, with main and secondary throttling slotted valve plates, achieving differentiated control of tensile / compression damping forces (difference ≤15%), adapting to bidirectional dynamic adjustment under complex operating conditions. This invention can adjust the damping force through its internal damping structure according to vehicle driving conditions and road conditions. For example, when cornering at high speeds or encountering bumpy roads, it can increase the damping force, suppressing body roll and vibration, and improving handling stability and ride comfort. It can effectively reduce micro-vibrations during vehicle operation, strengthen the frame's torsional resistance, and make the vehicle ride smoother. It is particularly effective in improving the overall performance of high-performance sports cars and mid-to-high-end models that emphasize comfort.
[0028] In summary, the dynamic damping adjustment varies under different road conditions. Under normal conditions, the main throttle orifice provides basic damping force; under severe conditions, valve plate deformation triggers an increase in damping force; and improved handling stability is achieved by increasing the speed of passing the moose test and reducing the body roll angle during high-speed cornering.
