The present invention provides the following embodiments.

[0025] Example 1: like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this is a structural schematic diagram of the automotive shock absorber connecting plate in this embodiment. The shock absorber connecting plate in this embodiment seals the gap between the connecting plates while also performing layered treatment on the gap, preventing external impurities such as mud and water from entering the core area of ​​the connecting plate that connects to the shock absorber. The connecting plate includes a middle main plate 1, an upper connecting plate 2, and a lower connecting plate 3. The upper connecting plate 2 is installed at the top of the middle main plate 1, and the lower connecting plate 3 is installed at the bottom of the middle main plate 1. The upper connecting plate 2 and the lower connecting plate 3 are respectively attached to the upper and lower ends of the middle main plate 1. The upper connecting plate 2 and the lower connecting plate 3 are stably installed on the outside of the middle main plate 1, and the upper connecting plate 2 and the lower connecting plate 3 block and seal the gaps generated when installed on the middle main plate 1.

[0026] As attached Figure 3 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the upper connecting plate 2 in this embodiment. The upper connecting plate 2 in this embodiment includes a main docking part 21, a sealing cone plate 22, and a fitting part 23. The fitting part 23 is installed on the upper surface of the middle main plate 1. The fitting part 23 is a conical protrusion structure. The main docking part 21 is provided above the middle main plate 1. The sealing cone plate 22 is installed on the outside of the main docking part 21. The inner wall of the sealing cone plate 22 is in contact with the outer wall of the fitting part 23.
