A lateral damper for a vehicle damping system

Abstract

This utility model discloses a lateral shock absorber for an automotive shock absorption system, comprising a main body rod, with damping shock absorber rods fixedly connected to both ends of the main body rod. A connecting portion is provided at the outer end of each damping shock absorber rod, and a shock absorber spring is sleeved on the surface of the damping shock absorber rod. An adjusting ring is slidably connected to the inner side of the surface of the damping shock absorber rod, and the inner end of the shock absorber spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting ring. This utility model connects the adjusting ring and the shock absorber spring, and uses a high-strength screw and a high-strength internally threaded tube for operation. When the outer cylinder is rotated, the internal gear ring drives the outer gear ring to rotate, causing the high-strength internally threaded tube to rotate, which in turn drives the high-strength screw to move, allowing the adjusting ring to slide on the damping shock absorber rod. This enables convenient, flexible, and precise adjustment of the shock absorber spring tension, allowing for adjustments to the shock absorption structure according to different needs, reducing operating costs, and improving maintenance convenience.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of shock absorber technology, specifically a transverse shock absorber for automotive shock absorption systems. Background Technology

[0002] During vehicle operation, the shock absorption system plays a crucial role in ensuring vehicle stability, improving ride comfort, and extending the lifespan of components. As an important component of the vehicle's shock absorption system, the lateral shock absorber functions to suppress lateral sway and roll during cornering, bumpy driving, or emergency braking, ensuring a smooth ride.

[0003] In the long-term use of traditional transverse shock absorbers, the performance of the shock absorber springs will gradually decline due to frequent vibration and impact, and their tension may also change, thus affecting the shock absorption effect. Once the shock absorber springs are damaged or their performance is poor, the operation of replacing and adjusting the shock absorber springs is often quite complicated and requires professional tools and technicians to handle. This not only increases the cost of use, but also reduces the convenience of maintenance.

[0004] In summary, existing automotive transverse shock absorbers have significant shortcomings in terms of shock absorber spring tension adjustment. There is an urgent need for a new type of transverse shock absorber for automotive shock absorption systems that can achieve convenient, flexible, and precise adjustment of the shock absorber spring tension, facilitate adjustment of the shock absorption structure, reduce operating costs, and improve maintenance convenience.

This shock absorber offers the advantages of convenient, flexible, and precise adjustment of the damping spring tension, easy adjustment of the shock absorption structure, reduced operating costs, and improved maintenance convenience. It also solves the problem of complex operations for replacing and adjusting damping springs when they are damaged or have poor performance.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a lateral shock absorber for an automotive shock absorption system, comprising a main body rod, with damping shock absorber rods fixedly connected to both ends of the main body rod. A connecting portion is provided at the outer end of each damping shock absorber rod. A damping spring is sleeved on the surface of each damping shock absorber rod. An adjusting ring is slidably connected to the inner side of the surface of the damping shock absorber rod. The inner end of the damping spring is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting ring. A central ring is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the main body rod. High-strength internally threaded tubes are provided around the left and right sides of the surface of the main body rod. The high-strength internally threaded tube is evenly distributed. Stable seats are rotatably connected to both sides of the surface of the high-strength internally threaded tube. The inner side of the stable seat is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body rod. A high-strength lead screw is connected to the internal thread of the high-strength internally threaded tube. The outer end of the high-strength lead screw is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring. A rotating outer cylinder is rotatably connected to the surface of the central ring. Internal toothed rings are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the rotating outer cylinder. An external toothed ring is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the high-strength internally threaded tube. The inner surface of the internal toothed ring meshes with the outer surface of the external toothed ring.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the left and right sides of the rotating outer cylinder are rotatably connected to connecting rings, and the outer side of the connecting ring is fixedly connected to a retractable rubber sleeve, the outer end of the rubber sleeve being fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a shock-absorbing block is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting part, and the outer ends of the damping shock-absorbing rod and the shock-absorbing spring are both fixedly connected to the inner side of the shock-absorbing block.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, a rubber damping ring is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring, and the inner side of the rubber damping ring is fixedly connected to the outer end of the high-strength lead screw.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the adjusting ring, and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve is slidably connected to the surface of the damping shock absorber rod.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, several reinforcing seats corresponding one-to-one with high-strength internally threaded tubes are fixedly connected to both sides of the central ring, and the inner end of the high-strength internally threaded tube is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing seat.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model, by setting damping shock absorbers and shock absorber springs at both ends of the main body rod, can effectively absorb and buffer lateral vibrations and impacts during vehicle operation, suppressing lateral swaying and tilting during cornering, bumping, or emergency braking, thus ensuring vehicle stability. The adjusting ring is connected to the shock absorber spring and engages with a high-strength internally threaded tube via a high-strength screw. When the outer cylinder is rotated, the internal gear ring drives the outer gear ring to rotate, causing the high-strength internally threaded tube to rotate, which in turn moves the high-strength screw, allowing the adjusting ring to slide on the damping shock absorber rod. This enables convenient, flexible, and precise adjustment of the shock absorber spring tension. This adjustable design allows for adjustments to the shock absorption structure according to different driving conditions and needs, reducing operating costs and improving maintenance convenience. Simultaneously, the stabilizing seat ensures the stability of the high-strength internally threaded tube's rotation, and the central ring and rotating outer cylinder provide stable support and a stable base for the adjusting mechanism.

[0014] 2. This utility model, by setting connecting rings on the left and right sides of the rotating outer cylinder and retractable rubber sleeves, serves two purposes: firstly, it protects the adjusting mechanism from dust and debris entering and affecting its normal operation; secondly, the retractability of the rubber sleeves accommodates the movement of the adjusting rings, ensuring the integrity and stability of the structure. The grease filling the inside of the rotating outer cylinder reduces the friction between the internal and external gear rings and the high-strength internally threaded tube during rotation, reducing wear, extending the service life of the adjusting mechanism, and making the adjustment of the damping spring tension smoother, further improving the accuracy and convenience of adjustment.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a transverse shock absorber for an automotive shock absorption system, comprising a main body rod 1, with damping shock absorber rods 2 fixedly connected to both ends of the main body rod 1. A connecting part 3 is provided at the outer end of the damping shock absorber rod 2, and a shock absorber spring 4 is sleeved on the surface of the damping shock absorber rod 2. An adjusting ring 5 is slidably connected to the inner side of the surface of the damping shock absorber rod 2, and the inner end of the shock absorber spring 4 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the adjusting ring 5. A central ring 6 is fixedly connected to the center of the surface of the main body rod 1, and high-strength internally threaded tubes 7 are provided around the left and right sides of the surface of the main body rod 1, with each high-strength internally threaded tube 7 being uniformly arranged. The high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is evenly distributed, and stable seats 8 are rotatably connected to both sides of its surface. The inner side of the stable seat 8 is fixedly connected to the surface of the main body rod 1. The high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is internally threaded with a high-strength screw 9. The outer end of the high-strength screw 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring 5. The surface of the central ring 6 is rotatably connected to a rotating outer cylinder 10 through a bearing. The inner sides of the inner wall of the rotating outer cylinder 10 are fixedly connected with internal toothed rings 11. The center of the surface of the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is fixedly connected with an external toothed ring 12. The inner surface of the internal toothed ring 11 meshes with the outer surface of the external toothed ring 12.

[0022] refer to Figure 1 The outer cylinder 10 is rotatably connected to both the left and right sides by connecting rings 13. A retractable rubber sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting ring 13. The outer end of the rubber sleeve 14 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring 5. The interior of the outer cylinder 10 is filled with grease.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting connecting rings 13 on the left and right sides of the rotating outer cylinder 10 and retractable rubber sleeves 14, it serves two purposes: firstly, it protects against dust and debris from entering the adjustment mechanism and affecting its normal operation; secondly, the retractability of the rubber sleeves 14 can accommodate the movement of the adjustment ring 5, ensuring the integrity and stability of the structure. The grease filled inside the rotating outer cylinder 10 reduces the friction between the internal gear ring 11 and the external gear ring 12 and the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 during rotation, reducing wear, extending the service life of the adjustment mechanism, and making the adjustment of the damping spring 4 smoother, further improving the accuracy and convenience of adjustment.

[0024] refer to Figure 1A damping block 15 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the connecting part 3, and the outer end of the damping damping rod 2 and the outer end of the damping spring 4 are both fixedly connected to the inner side of the damping block 15.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the shock absorption block 15 is connected to the outer end of the shock absorption spring 4, which further enhances the shock absorption effect. The shock absorption block 15 can buffer the remaining impact force on the basis of the shock absorption spring 4 absorbing the vibration, reduce the direct impact of vibration on the connecting part 3, protect the connecting part 3 from damage, extend the service life of the connecting part 3, and at the same time make the vehicle more stable during driving and improve the driving comfort.

[0026] refer to Figure 3 A rubber damping ring 16 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring 5, and the inner side of the rubber damping ring 16 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the high-strength screw 9.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a rubber damping ring 16 fixed inside the adjusting ring 5, a buffering and shock-absorbing function is played between the high-strength lead screw 9 and the adjusting ring 5. When the damping spring 4 is adjusted, the rubber damping ring 16 can reduce the rigid collision and friction between the high-strength lead screw 9 and the adjusting ring 5, reduce noise generation, and avoid damage to components caused by vibration. This improves the stability and reliability of the adjusting mechanism and further ensures the accuracy and effectiveness of the adjustment of the damping spring 4.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 The inner wall of the adjusting ring 5 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 17, and the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 17 is slidably connected to the surface of the damping shock absorber 2.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a sliding sleeve 17 fixed to the inner wall of the adjusting ring 5 and slidingly connecting it with the surface of the damping shock absorber rod 2, the friction between the adjusting ring 5 and the damping shock absorber rod 2 is reduced, making the sliding of the adjusting ring 5 on the damping shock absorber rod 2 smoother, improving the efficiency of the tension adjustment of the damping spring 4, reducing wear between components, extending the service life of the damping shock absorber rod 2 and the adjusting ring 5, and ensuring the long-term stable operation of the entire shock absorption system.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 Several reinforcing seats 18, corresponding one-to-one with high-strength internally threaded tubes 7, are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the central ring 6. The inner end of the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing seat 18 through a bearing.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, reinforcing seats 18 are fixed on both sides of the central ring 6, corresponding one-to-one with the high-strength internally threaded tubes 7. The inner end of the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the reinforcing seat 18 via bearings. The reinforcing seats 18 provide additional support and fixation for the high-strength internally threaded tubes 7, enhancing the stability of the high-strength internally threaded tubes 7 during rotation, preventing them from shaking or shifting during rotation, and ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment mechanism. At the same time, the setting of the reinforcing seats 18 can also distribute the force on the high-strength internally threaded tubes 7, reducing the risk of damage, extending their service life, and further improving the performance and stability of the entire lateral shock absorber.

[0032] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the shock-absorbing structure is connected to the control arm or subframe of the vehicle suspension system through the connecting parts 3 at both ends. During vehicle operation, when the vehicle encounters turning, bumps, or emergency braking, the damping shock absorber rods 2 at the left and right ends of the main rod 1 and the shock absorber springs 4 sleeved on its surface begin to function. The damping shock absorber rods 2 absorb and buffer lateral vibrations and impacts, suppress the lateral sway and tilt of the vehicle, and ensure driving stability. When it is necessary to adjust the tightness of the shock absorber springs 4, the rotating outer cylinder 10 connected to the surface of the rotating center ring 6 through the bearing is rotated. The internal toothed rings 11 on the left and right sides of the inner wall of the rotating outer cylinder 10 mesh with the external toothed ring 12 in the center of the surface of the high-strength internally threaded tube 7, driving the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 to rotate. Because the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 is internally threaded to a high-strength lead screw 9, and the outer end of the high-strength lead screw 9 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the adjusting ring 5, when the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 rotates, the high-strength lead screw 9 will drive the adjusting ring 5 to slide on the surface of the damping shock absorber 2, thereby changing the compression degree of the shock absorber spring 4, achieving convenient, flexible, and precise adjustment of the tension of the shock absorber spring 4. During the rotation of the outer cylinder 10, the grease filled inside it can reduce the friction between the internal gear ring 11 and the external gear ring 12, and the high-strength internally threaded tube 7 during rotation, making the adjustment smoother. The connecting rings 13 and the retractable rubber sleeves 14 on the left and right sides of the outer cylinder 10 can prevent dust and debris from entering the adjustment mechanism and accommodate the movement of the adjusting ring 5. The shock-absorbing block 15 on the inner side of the connecting part 3 can provide secondary buffering for the remaining impact force after the shock absorber spring 4 has been buffered. The rubber shock-absorbing ring 16 on the inner side of the adjusting ring 5 can reduce the rigid collision and friction between the high-strength lead screw 9 and the adjusting ring 5. The sliding sleeve 17 on the inner wall of the adjusting ring 5 reduces the friction with the damping shock absorber 2, making the adjusting ring 5 slide more smoothly. The reinforcing seats 18 on the left and right sides of the central ring 6 provide support and fixation for the high-strength internally threaded tube 7, ensuring the stable and reliable operation of the adjusting mechanism.
