Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorbers, and in particular to a dual-adjustable shock absorber with a sliding cylinder having high sealing performance. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component in vehicle suspension systems and various mechanical equipment, the shock absorber's main function is to suppress the oscillations during spring-absorbed shock rebound and the impact from the road surface, thereby improving driving comfort and stability. While existing dual-adjustable shock absorbers can adapt to various operating conditions through different damping adjustment components, practical use has revealed that the sealing structure between the shock absorber's slide, piston rod, and hydraulic cylinder is relatively simple. Under long-term high-frequency reciprocating motion and high-pressure environments, problems such as hydraulic oil leakage or external impurities intruding can easily occur, leading to decreased damping performance or even failure. Furthermore, the connection between the slide and internal components often lacks effective limiting and support structures, making it prone to tilting or loosening during severe vibrations, affecting the overall rigidity and service life of the shock absorber.

[0021] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0022] The embodiment of this utility model is as follows:
[0023] refer to Figures 1 to 6As shown, a dual-adjustable shock absorber with a high-sealing-performance slide cylinder includes a mounting base 1, a hydraulic cylinder 2, a slide cylinder 3, a piston rod 4, a piston 5, a first spring 6, a sealing cap 7, a first support base 8, a second support base 9, a first damping adjustment assembly 10, a second damping adjustment assembly 11, and an airbag assembly 12. The mounting base 1 has a first mounting groove 101, a second mounting groove 102, a third mounting groove 103, and a fourth mounting groove 104. The bottom of the first mounting groove 101 is recessed with coaxially distributed grooves 105. The first mounting groove 101 and the second mounting groove... A first flow channel 106 is provided between the groove 102 and the third mounting groove 103; a second flow channel 107 is provided between the groove 105 and the third mounting groove 103; a third flow channel 108 is provided between the second mounting groove 102, the third mounting groove 103, and the fourth mounting groove 104; the upper part of the slide cylinder 3 is located at the groove 105; the lower part of the slide cylinder 3 has a through hole 17; the upper part of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is located at the first mounting groove 101, and the hydraulic cylinder 2 is sleeved on the outside of the slide cylinder 3; the sealing cap 7 is located at the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the slide cylinder 3; the piston rod 4 is slidably mounted on the sealing cap 7. The sealing cap 7 includes an outer cap 71, a sealing element 72, a sealing ring 73, a top element 74, and a bushing 75. The outer cap 71 is locked to the lower surface of the sealing element 72. The upper surface of the sealing element 72 is recessed with a sealing groove 76. An annular flange 77 protrudes from the inner edge of the sealing groove 76. The sealing ring 73 is embedded in the sealing groove 76 through the top element 74. An extension 78 protrudes downward from the inner edge of the sealing ring 73. The lower surface of the sealing ring 73 abuts against the annular flange 77. The extension 78 is distributed between the annular flange 77 and the piston rod 4. The bushing 75 is embedded... The piston 5 is located at the inner end of the piston rod 4 and distributed within the slide cylinder 3, between the piston rod 4 and the top member 74. The first support seat 8 is located at the outer end of the piston rod 4, and the second support seat 9 is located at the upper end of the hydraulic cylinder 2. The first spring 6 is sleeved on the outer side of the hydraulic cylinder 2 and the piston rod 4, and the two ends of the first spring 6 abut against the first support seat 8 and the second support seat 9, respectively. The first damping adjustment assembly 10 and the second damping adjustment assembly 11 are respectively located at the second mounting groove 102 and the third mounting groove 103. The airbag assembly 12 is located at the fourth mounting groove 104.
[0024] This dual-adjustable shock absorber with a high-sealing-performance slide cylinder utilizes a composite sealing cover structure consisting of an outer cover 71, a sealing element 72, a sealing ring 73, a top element 74, and a bushing 75. Through the cooperation of the sealing groove 76, the annular flange 77, and the extension 78, multiple sealing barriers are formed. In particular, the extension of the sealing ring 73, positioned between the annular flange 77 and the piston rod 4, effectively prevents hydraulic oil leakage along the piston rod, significantly improving the sealing performance of the slide cylinder area. Furthermore, the first mounting groove 101 and the second mounting groove 1 are rationally arranged on the mounting base 1. 02. The third mounting groove 103 and the fourth mounting groove 104 are connected to the groove 105 and each mounting groove through the first flow channel 106, the second flow channel 107 and the third flow channel 108, forming a clear hydraulic oil flow path. This provides a basic fluid channel for dual-adjustment damping adjustment and ensures the sensitivity of the damping response. At the same time, the airbag assembly 12, the dual damping adjustment assembly and the spring support structure are integrated into the mounting base 1 and the hydraulic cylinder system, realizing the integration of shock absorption, buffering and damping adjustment. The structure is compact and conducive to improving the overall shock absorption efficiency.
[0025] Specifically, the upper surface of the top member 74 has an upwardly protruding part 79 along its inner edge. The protruding part 79 forms a support surface 80 on the upper surface of the top member 74. The protruding part 79 is embedded in the slide cylinder 3, and the lower end of the slide cylinder 3 abuts against the support surface 80. The circumferential surface of the top member 74 is attached to the inner surface of the hydraulic cylinder 2. By setting the protruding part 79 on the upper surface of the top member 74 to form the support surface 80, and by having the lower end of the slide cylinder 3 directly abut against the support surface 80, the axial displacement of the slide cylinder 3 is effectively limited, preventing it from sinking or falling off excessively during operation. Furthermore, the circumferential surface of the top member is attached to the inner surface of the hydraulic cylinder 2. Combined with the structure of the protruding part 79 being embedded in the slide cylinder 3, it plays a good guiding role, ensuring the coaxiality between the slide cylinder 3, the piston rod 4, and the hydraulic cylinder 2, reducing uneven wear, and extending the service life of the components.
[0026] Furthermore, four strip-shaped grooves 81 are evenly recessed around the circumferential surface of the top member 74, and each strip-shaped groove 81 has a notch 82 at its lower end. The strip-shaped grooves 81 and the lower notch 82 are evenly arranged on the circumferential surface of the top member 74, forming a miniature oil storage tank and oil guiding channel. During the movement of damping oil, the frictional resistance between the top member 74 and the inner wall of the hydraulic cylinder 2 is reduced. At the same time, it helps to balance the local oil pressure around the top member 74 and avoid abnormal deformation or damage to the seal due to local high pressure.
[0027] Furthermore, a second spring 13 is sleeved on the piston rod 4 and located between the piston 5 and the sealing cover 7, forming a two-stage buffer mechanism. When the shock absorber is subjected to severe impact or is at the end of the compression stroke, the second spring 13 can provide additional elastic support to prevent the piston 5 from directly and rigidly impacting the sealing cover 7, effectively protecting the sealing assembly and internal structure.
[0028] In this embodiment, the upper part of the mounting base 1 is recessed with a fifth mounting groove 109, and a connecting part 14 is threadedly connected to the fifth mounting groove 109. The connecting part 14 is provided with a connecting hole 15, and a bearing 16 is provided at the connecting hole 15. By providing a fifth mounting groove 109 and a threaded connecting part 14 on the upper part of the mounting base 1, a standardized external interface is provided, which facilitates the quick assembly and disassembly of the shock absorber from the vehicle body or other mechanical structures. The bearing 16 at the connecting hole 15 allows the connecting part 14 to rotate or swing under force (such as when the suspension system moves) to use rolling friction instead of sliding friction, which significantly reduces wear at the connection and improves the flexibility and durability of the connection.
[0029] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature.
