[0024] Example 1:

[0025] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model discloses a ski binding with an adjustable damping structure, comprising a ski assembly 1, a battery assembly 2, a binding assembly 3, and an adjustable damper assembly 4. The middle part of the ski assembly 1 is threadedly connected to the battery assembly 2, and the front and rear ends of the ski assembly 1 are threadedly connected to the binding assembly 3. The middle part of the binding assembly 3 is fixedly connected to the adjustable damper assembly 4. The feature is that it further includes the ski assembly 1, with the upper end of the ski 11 having a threaded groove 12, and the threaded groove 12 also having a groove on the lower part of the ski frame 14. At the end, the first screw 13 is threadedly connected to the ski frame 14 and the ski 11 through the threaded groove 12. When the ski frame 14 is damaged by an impact and needs to be replaced, the first screw 13 can be turned with a screwdriver to separate the first screw 13 from the ski 11 and the ski frame 14, so that the ski frame 14 can be removed from the ski 11 for replacement. The ski frame 14 is slidably connected to the binding base 31 through the sliding groove 15. The sliding groove 15 is provided at both the front and rear ends of the ski frame 14. The battery slot 16 is provided in the middle of the ski frame 14. There are a total of six sets of the first screw 13.

[0026] Battery assembly 2, protective cover 21 is also provided with threaded grooves 12 on the four corners. Protective cover 21 is slidably connected to the upper end of battery compartment 16. Second screw 22 is threadedly connected to protective cover 21 and slide 14 in the middle through threaded grooves 12. Insulation plate 23 is fixedly connected to the lower end of protective cover 21 and the lower end of battery compartment 16. The setting of insulation plate 23 can provide heat insulation and prevent the device in battery compartment 16 from being affected by low temperature. Wireless signal transceiver 24 is fixedly connected to battery compartment 16. Battery 25 is also fixedly connected to battery compartment 16. Wire 26 is fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of battery 25. There are four sets of second screws 22, all of which are located on the upper end of protective cover 21.

[0027] The binding assembly 3 has threaded grooves 12 on both the left and right ends of the binding base 31. The damper groove 32 is located on the upper end of the binding base 31. The third screw 33 is threadedly connected to the ski 11 on both the left and right ends of the binding base 31 through the threaded groove 12. The slider 34 is slidably connected to the upper end of the binding base 31 through the damper groove 32. The binding threaded groove 35 is located in the middle of the slider 34. The lower end of the binding shoe 36 is threadedly connected to the slider 34 through the binding threaded groove 35. The customer can use the device by wearing the binding shoe 36. There are eight sets of the third screw 33, which are evenly distributed on two sets of binding bases 31.

[0028] This utility model provides an improved ski binding with an adjustable damping structure, the working principle of which is as follows:

[0029] First, when using this device, place it in the work area and then connect it to an external power source to provide the necessary electrical energy for its operation.

[0030] Secondly, when this device is needed, the customer can first put on the binding shoes 36 to use it. If the customer slips and falls while using the device, causing damage to the ski frame 14 and requiring replacement, the first screw 13 can be turned with a screwdriver to separate the first screw 13 from the ski 11 and the ski frame 14, allowing the ski frame 14 to be removed from the ski 11 for replacement. Simultaneously, when the device in the battery compartment 16 needs replacement or repair, the second screw 22 can be turned with a screwdriver to... 2. The device in the battery compartment 16 can be repaired or replaced by separating it from the ski frame 14 and the protective cover 21. When it is necessary to replace the position of the fixing base 31 and its upper components, the third screw 33 can be turned with a screwdriver to separate the third screw 33 from the ski 11 and the fixing base 31. After the fixing base 31 can be pushed to the designated position, the third screw 33 can be turned to form a threaded connection with the ski 11 and the fixing base 31, so that the fixing base 31 can be fixed to the designated position on the ski 11.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] Please see Figures 1-5This utility model discloses a ski binding device with an adjustable damping structure. Compared with Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes: an adjustable damper assembly 4, an electric heating element plate 41 fixedly connected to the lower end of the damper groove 32, an electromagnetic coil controller 42 fixedly connected to the damper groove 32, a control wire 43 whose front end is fixedly connected to the electromagnetic coil controller 42, a control wire 43 whose rear end is fixedly connected to the electromagnetic coil 44, a magnetorheological fluid damper 45 whose middle part is fixedly connected to the middle part of the electromagnetic coil 44, and a binding base 31 whose lower end is fixedly connected to the lower end of the magnetorheological fluid damper 45. The magnetorheological fluid damper 45 reduces the impact of bumps on the customer's knees when wearing this device. The telescopic rod at the upper end of the magnetorheological fluid damper 45 is fixedly connected to the slider 34, and a temperature detector 46 is also fixedly connected to the damper groove 32.

[0033] In this embodiment:

[0034] First, when it is necessary to adjust the damping effect of the magnetorheological fluid damper 45, the customer can wirelessly connect to the wireless transceiver 24 via a mobile phone after wearing the device. The customer can then use their mobile phone to wirelessly control the heating element plate 41, the electromagnetic coil controller 42, and the temperature detector 46 via the wireless transceiver 24. After the heating element plate 41 is activated, it heats the fixture base 31 to prevent low temperatures from affecting the performance of the device in the damper groove 32. After the temperature detector 46 is activated, it detects the temperature within the fixture base 31 and transmits the data signal to the customer's mobile phone via the wireless transceiver 24 for display. When the temperature within the fixture base 31 reaches the specified temperature, the heating element plate 41 can be controlled. When component board 41 is turned off and heating is stopped, when it is necessary to increase the damping effect of magnetorheological fluid damper 45, a signal can be sent through electromagnetic coil controller 42 to control electromagnetic coil 44 to start via control wire 43. After electromagnetic coil 44 is started, it is energized to generate a magnetic field, causing the magnetic particles in magnetorheological fluid damper 45 to form a chain structure, and the fluid viscosity increases sharply (similar to "solidification"). The damping force that hinders piston movement is significantly enhanced, so that when the customer uses this device to apply pressure to the fixation shoe 36 and its lower components, the slider 34 slides on the upper end of the fixation base 31. When the fixation base 31 slides up and down, pressure can be applied to the magnetorheological fluid damper 45 to expand and contract, thereby reducing the impact and minimizing the damage to the customer's knees caused by bumps.

[0035] This utility model provides an improved ski binding with an adjustable damping structure. By setting an adjustable damper assembly 4, which allows for adjustment of the damper used for cushioning, the device can adjust the damper used for cushioning, resulting in better cushioning effect.
