Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive shock absorber technology, specifically an automotive shock absorber that can automatically adapt to different road conditions. Background Technology
[0002] The term "shock absorber" is a common term in the automotive chassis industry. An automotive shock absorber is actually a vibration damper. Shock absorbers are used not only in the suspension of automobiles but also in other locations. For example, they are used in the driver's cab, seats, steering wheel, and can also be used as a buffer in vehicle bumpers.
[0003] According to patent publication number CN114857201A, a car shock absorber capable of automatically adapting to different road conditions includes a lower control arm, a connector, and a main shock absorber rod. The lower control arm has an internal groove. An eccentric block is installed at the bottom end of the lower control arm adjacent to the main shock absorber rod, and the main shock absorber rod is installed at the top end of the lower control arm adjacent to the eccentric block. A shock-absorbing spring is installed inside the internal groove via an assembly mechanism. A folding fitting is installed between the top end of the shock-absorbing spring and the bottom end of the connector. A slide cylinder is installed at the bottom end of the connector inside the folding fitting. An adjuster is movably installed below the slide cylinder via a limiting mechanism. An inner shock absorber rod is installed at the bottom end of the adjuster, and the bottom end of the inner shock absorber rod is fixedly connected to the lower control arm. This invention, through a series of structures, enables the car shock absorber to automatically adapt to different road conditions, providing a three-level shock absorption effect for different road conditions, avoiding fatigue damage caused by a single shock absorber component, and extending its service life.
[0004] However, most existing automotive shock absorbers expose the springs, which can easily splash onto the spring surface when driving on muddy roads, clogging the springs and affecting their normal operation. This makes it difficult for the shock absorber to work properly. In addition, the upper and lower rings of the shock absorber are equipped with bearings that are exposed, making them prone to clogging with sand and gravel particles, thus affecting their performance.
