Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive shock absorber components, specifically a stepped helical spring device for automotive shock absorption. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive shock absorption system is a crucial component of a car, and its performance directly affects the car's ride smoothness, handling stability, and passenger comfort. As a key component of the automotive shock absorption system, the coil spring absorbs and releases the energy generated by road impacts through its elastic deformation, thereby reducing vehicle vibration.
[0003] Currently, most traditional automotive coil springs are of equal diameter and equal pitch, a structure with certain limitations. On one hand, when faced with varying degrees of road impact, the stiffness of equal diameter and equal pitch coil springs exhibits a relatively uniform change, unable to adaptively adjust according to the magnitude of the impact. For example, on smooth roads, the spring requires lower stiffness to ensure ride comfort; while on rough roads or when encountering large obstacles, higher stiffness is needed to support the vehicle body and prevent excessive compression. Traditional springs struggle to simultaneously meet these two requirements, resulting in less than ideal driving performance for vehicles under different road conditions. Utility Model Content
