Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorber valve plate technology, specifically to a lightweight shock absorber valve plate for motorcycles. Background Technology
[0002] In today's rapidly developing motorcycle industry, the shock absorption system, as a core component affecting riding comfort and safety, has always been a key focus of industry research in performance optimization. Shock absorber valves, as crucial components in the shock absorption system, are responsible for adjusting damping force by controlling oil flow. Their structural rationality and lightweight design directly affect the shock absorber's response speed, load-bearing capacity, and overall vehicle energy consumption.
[0003] Currently, traditional motorcycle shock absorber valve plates and seats are mostly connected by bolts or welding. Bolting not only increases the number of parts and assembly steps, but the extra connection structure also increases the overall weight of the valve plate, which does not conform to the trend of lightweight design. While welding reduces the number of parts, the high-temperature welding process can easily cause stress deformation of the valve plate and seat, affecting the damping adjustment accuracy. Furthermore, it is difficult to disassemble and replace the valve plate during later maintenance, increasing operating costs. In addition, in some valve plate designs using snap-fit structures, the snap-fit components are mostly rigid structures, which are prone to loosening or fatigue fracture under long-term high-frequency vibration conditions, leading to a decline in shock absorber performance and, in severe cases, even safety hazards. Therefore, developing a shock absorber valve plate structure that is lightweight, has a stable connection, and is easy to assemble has become an urgent technical problem to be solved in the industry.

[0021] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.
[0023] Example: A lightweight shock absorber valve for motorcycles, see attached figure. Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 5 The valve includes a valve seat 1, a locking groove 11 is provided at the top of the valve seat 1, a valve plate body 2 is provided at the top of the valve seat 1, and a locking plate 21 is fixed at the bottom of the valve plate body 2, and the locking plate 21 is locked and fixed in the locking groove 11.
[0024] Both the locking groove 11 and the locking plate 21 adopt a J-shaped cross-section arc structure. This design allows them to form a multi-directional self-locking structure during the locking process, effectively avoiding the loosening problem of traditional locking methods under vibration conditions. Simultaneously, the locking plates 21 are evenly distributed in an array at the bottom of the valve body 2, ensuring uniform force distribution and improving the overall structural stability of the valve. Furthermore, the locking plates 21, made of elastic spring material, have moderate deformation capacity, allowing the assembly of the valve body 2 and valve seat 1 to be completed without complex tools, simply by manual pressing, greatly simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency.
[0025] Both the locking groove 11 and the locking plate 21 have J-shaped cross-sections and arc-shaped structures. The locking plates 21 are fixed to the bottom of the valve body 2 at equal intervals. The locking plates 21 are elastic spring structures. Compared with traditional rigid connection components, the locking plates 21 adopt elastic spring structures, which further reduces weight while achieving the same connection strength, thus helping to improve the handling and fuel economy of the motorcycle.
[0026] The transverse groove 3 on the side wall of valve seat 1 and the vertical groove 4 at the top cooperate with each other to provide a reasonable channel structure for oil flow, which helps to improve the accuracy of damping force adjustment. At the same time, the stable connection structure avoids abnormal displacement or vibration of the valve plate during operation, ensuring the stability of oil flow control, so that the shock absorber can always maintain the best shock absorption effect, improving riding comfort and safety.
[0027] Both the valve seat 1 and the valve disc body 2 are cylindrical structures. The valve seat 1 has a transverse groove 3 running through its side wall, and a vertical groove 4 running downwards through its top. A snap-fit connection between the valve disc body 2, the locking plate 21, the locking groove 11, and the valve seat 1 ensures a stable connection. This connection method is characterized by its simple structure, convenient installation, and high reliability. In the design of the valve disc body 2, the loads and impacts it may experience during use were fully considered. Through reasonable structural design and material selection, the reliability and service life of the valve disc body 2 were improved. The snap-fit connection ensures a stable connection between the valve disc body 2 and the valve seat 1, enhancing the reliability and stability of the connection. The reasonable structural design and material selection also improve the durability and service life of the valve disc, reducing maintenance and replacement costs.
