Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive shock absorber mounting plates, and more specifically, to a mounting plate for lightweight automotive shock absorbers. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive shock absorbers are designed to rapidly dampen vibrations from the chassis and body, improving ride smoothness and comfort. The balance link of the shock absorber, commonly known as the stabilizer bar link or coupling bar, is a key component in the suspension system that connects the lateral stabilizer bar to the shock absorber strut or lower control arm. It is not directly part of the shock absorber itself, but works in conjunction with it, and therefore requires a mounting plate to fix it to the shock absorber assembly.

[0003] Common mounting plates for lightweight automotive shock absorbers can only fix the balance rod, but lack the function of locking nuts. In practical applications, the balance rod needs to be fixed to the mounting plate of the shock absorber through the cooperation of screws and nuts. However, due to the bumps generated during the driving process, the nuts will loosen over time, causing the balance rod to detach from the shock absorber, ultimately increasing the problem of driving safety hazards.

[0004] In conclusion, for driving safety, it is necessary to solve the problem of loose nuts so that the nuts are locked during vehicle operation and do not loosen due to bumps. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present invention provides a mounting plate for lightweight automotive shock absorbers, which aims to solve the problem that, due to the bumps generated during vehicle operation, the nuts will loosen over time, causing the balance connecting rod to detach from the shock absorber.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a mounting plate for a lightweight automotive shock absorber, comprising a shock absorber connecting rod, a first arc plate mounted on the surface of the shock absorber connecting rod, a mounting straight plate mounted on the surface of the first arc plate, a second arc plate mounted on the surface of the shock absorber connecting rod, a locking frame mounted on the surface of the second arc plate, a locking mechanism provided on the locking frame, an anti-detachment plate provided on the surface of the mounting straight plate, a hexagonal groove provided on the surface of the anti-detachment plate, a coupling rod provided on the surface of the mounting straight plate, a lead screw mounted on the upper end of the coupling rod, the lead screw being slidably connected to the mounting straight plate, a hexagonal nut being threaded onto the outer side of the lead screw, the hexagonal nut being engaged in the interior of the hexagonal groove, and a positioning mechanism provided on the locking mechanism and the anti-detachment plate.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the locking end of the locking mechanism is connected to the positioning mechanism. The locking mechanism is used to control the horizontal movement of the positioning mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a push-pull assembly and a reset assembly. The connecting end of the push-pull assembly is connected to the reset assembly. The push-pull assembly is used to control the horizontal movement of the reset assembly. The connecting end of the reset assembly is connected to the positioning mechanism. The reset assembly is used to control the horizontal movement of the positioning mechanism.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the push-pull assembly includes an inner cavity mounted inside the locking frame and a pull rod slidably connected inside the inner cavity.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the reset assembly includes a push plate mounted on the end of the pull rod near the anti-detachment plate and a reset spring mounted on the surface of the inner cavity cylinder, with the end of the reset spring away from the inner cavity cylinder connected to the push plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning end of the positioning mechanism is connected to the anti-detachment plate. The positioning mechanism is used to fix the position of the anti-detachment plate. The positioning mechanism includes a locking component and a plugging component. The locking end of the locking component is connected to the anti-detachment plate. The locking component is used to push the anti-detachment plate to fit against the mounting plate. The plugging end of the plugging component is connected to the mounting plate. The plugging component is used to fix the position of the anti-detachment plate for a second time.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the engaging assembly includes an engaging groove formed on the surface of the anti-detachment plate and a top plate mounted on the surface of the push plate, the top plate engaging into the interior of the engaging groove.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the plug-in assembly includes a plug-in slot formed on the surface of the mounting plate and a plug-in block mounted on the surface of the anti-detachment plate, the plug-in block being inserted into the interior of the plug-in slot.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a shock-absorbing mechanism is provided on the shock-absorbing connecting rod. The shock-absorbing mechanism is used to reduce vibrations during vehicle operation. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes a steering knuckle connecting assembly and a body connecting assembly. The steering knuckle connecting assembly is used to connect with the vehicle steering knuckle, and the body connecting assembly is used to connect with the vehicle body.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the steering knuckle connection assembly includes a fixed plate mounted on the lower end of the shock absorber connecting rod and a lower fixing ring mounted on the lower end of the fixed plate.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, the vehicle body connection assembly includes a shock absorber body mounted on the upper end of the shock absorber connecting rod, an upper retaining ring mounted on the upper end of the shock absorber body, and a shock absorber spring mounted on the outside of the shock absorber body.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This invention uses a hexagonal groove anti-detachment plate to directly lock the hexagonal nut that fixes the coupling rod. Combined with the spring push structure in the locking frame next to it, the anti-detachment plate can be automatically pressed tightly against the mounting plate. In this way, no matter how bumpy or vibrating the vehicle is, the nut will be firmly locked and will not loosen at all, thus solving the safety hazard of the stabilizer bar connection coming loose.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the following specific embodiments are only used to further illustrate the present application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the present application based on the above application content.

[0024] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 5A mounting plate for a lightweight automotive shock absorber includes a shock absorber connecting rod 1, a first arc plate 11 mounted on the surface of the shock absorber connecting rod 1, a mounting straight plate 12 mounted on the surface of the first arc plate 11, a second arc plate 13 mounted on the surface of the shock absorber connecting rod 1, a locking frame 14 mounted on the surface of the second arc plate 13, a locking mechanism provided on the locking frame 14, an anti-detachment plate 15 provided on the surface of the mounting straight plate 12, a hexagonal groove 16 formed on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15, a coupling rod 17 provided on the surface of the mounting straight plate 12, a lead screw 18 mounted on the upper end of the coupling rod 17, the lead screw 18 being slidably connected to the mounting straight plate 12, a hexagonal nut 19 being threaded onto the outer side of the lead screw 18, the hexagonal nut 19 being engaged in the interior of the hexagonal groove 16, and a positioning mechanism provided on the locking mechanism and the anti-detachment plate 15.

[0025] It should be noted that the cooperation between the anti-detachment plate 15 and its hexagonal groove 16 and the hexagonal nut 19 is crucial. After the hexagonal nut 19 is tightened onto the screw 18, it is embedded in the hexagonal groove 16, which can effectively limit the relative rotation of the nut when the vehicle is bumpy. Anti-detachment plates 15 with different angle hexagonal grooves 16 can be replaced to fit the tightened hexagonal nut 19. The locking mechanism on the locking frame 14 and the positioning mechanism on the anti-detachment plate 15 work together to ensure that the anti-detachment plate 15 is firmly pressed onto the mounting plate 12, thereby locking the nut. The sliding connection between the screw 18 and the mounting plate 12 ensures that the coupling rod 17 can perform the necessary movements.

[0026] It is worth noting that by using mechanical constraints rather than simply relying on thread friction to prevent loosening, the reliability under continuous vibration is significantly improved, and the major safety hazard of the balance connecting rod falling off due to nut loosening is solved. The first arc plate 11 and the second arc plate 13 respectively support the mounting plate 12 and the locking frame 14, realizing functional zoning.

[0027] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 3 to 5 The locking end of the locking mechanism is connected to the positioning mechanism. The locking mechanism is used to control the horizontal movement of the positioning mechanism. The locking mechanism includes a push-pull assembly and a reset assembly. The connecting end of the push-pull assembly is connected to the reset assembly. The push-pull assembly is used to control the horizontal movement of the reset assembly. The connecting end of the reset assembly is connected to the positioning mechanism. The reset assembly is used to control the horizontal movement of the positioning mechanism.

[0028] It should be noted that the push-pull assembly is an active operating component. Its movement directly drives the reset assembly to produce horizontal displacement. The reset assembly acts as a force transmission intermediary, and its displacement ultimately drives the positioning mechanism. The reset assembly usually contains an elastic element to ensure that it can automatically return to its original position when the push-pull assembly is not in operation.

[0029] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 4 to 5 The push-pull assembly includes an inner cavity 211 installed inside the locking frame 14 and a pull rod 212 slidably connected inside the inner cavity 211.

[0030] It should be noted that the inner cavity 211 is fixed inside the locking frame 14, providing a precise sliding track and support for the pull rod 212. The sliding of the pull rod 212 inside the inner cavity 211 is a direct manifestation of the push-pull action. The entire locking or unlocking process can be triggered by operating the pull rod 212. The design of the inner cavity 211 ensures the linearity and stability of the movement of the pull rod 212.

[0031] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 The reset assembly includes a push plate 221 installed on the end of the pull rod 212 near the anti-detachment plate 15 and a reset spring 222 installed on the surface of the inner cavity cylinder 211. The end of the reset spring 222 away from the inner cavity cylinder 211 is connected to the push plate 221.

[0032] It should be noted that the push plate 221 is the core actuator of the reset assembly, which is directly connected to the top plate 312. One end of the reset spring 222 is fixed on the inner cavity cylinder 211, and the other end acts on the push plate 221. When the pull rod 212 is pulled, the push plate 221 compresses the reset spring 222. After the pull rod 212 is released, the restoring force of the reset spring 222 pushes the push plate 221 back to the initial position, thereby driving the positioning mechanism to reset.

[0033] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 3 to 5 The positioning end of the positioning mechanism is connected to the anti-detachment plate 15. The positioning mechanism is used to fix the position of the anti-detachment plate 15. The positioning mechanism includes a locking component and a plugging component. The locking end of the locking component is connected to the anti-detachment plate 15. The locking component is used to push the anti-detachment plate 15 to fit against the mounting plate 12. The plugging end of the plugging component is connected to the mounting plate 12. The plugging component is used to fix the position of the anti-detachment plate 15 for a secondary purpose.

[0034] It should be noted that the positioning mechanism achieves dual fixation of the anti-detachment plate 15 through the locking component and the plugging component. The locking component mainly provides the force to press the anti-detachment plate 15 tightly against the mounting plate 12, ensuring that the two fit tightly without gaps. The plugging component, through the physical shape of the fitting, mainly restricts the movement of the anti-detachment plate 15 relative to the mounting plate 12 in the plane, playing the role of precise positioning and secondary anti-detachment. The two functions complement each other.

[0035] It is worth noting that the dual positioning mechanism of clamping force and physical limit greatly enhances the stability and accuracy of the anti-detachment plate 15 installation, effectively preventing any form of displacement or loosening under vibration, thereby ensuring the absolute reliability of its locking nut function.

[0036] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 4 The engaging assembly includes an engaging groove 311 formed on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15 and a top plate 312 mounted on the surface of the push plate 221, with the top plate 312 engaging inside the engaging groove 311.

[0037] It should be noted that the engaging groove 311 is formed on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15, and its shape matches the top plate 312. The top plate 312 is fixed on the push plate 221. When the push plate 221 moves towards the anti-detachment plate 15 under the action of the return spring 222, the top plate 312 is embedded in the engaging groove 311. Pressure is applied through the side wall, forcing the anti-detachment plate 15 to fit tightly against the surface of the mounting plate 12.

[0038] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 3 to 4 The plug-in assembly includes a plug-in slot 321 formed on the surface of the mounting plate 12 and a plug-in block 322 mounted on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15, with the plug-in block 322 inserted into the interior of the plug-in slot 321.

[0039] It should be noted that the insertion slot 321 is located on the surface of the mounting plate 12, while the insertion block 322 protrudes from the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15. When installing the anti-detachment plate 15, the insertion block 322 needs to be aligned and inserted into the insertion slot 321. The fit between the two usually has a slight interference or tight clearance fit to ensure that the anti-detachment plate 15 cannot move in the plane after insertion.

[0040] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figures 1 to 2 The shock-absorbing connecting rod 1 is equipped with a shock-absorbing mechanism, which is used to reduce vibrations during vehicle operation. The shock-absorbing mechanism includes a steering knuckle connecting assembly and a body connecting assembly. The steering knuckle connecting assembly is used to connect with the vehicle steering knuckle, and the body connecting assembly is used to connect with the vehicle body.

[0041] It should be noted that the steering knuckle connection assembly is used to connect the bottom of the shock absorber to the wheel steering knuckle, while the body connection assembly is used to connect the top of the shock absorber to a spring tray or frame, and the shock absorber spring 423 is the main damping element.

[0042] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 The steering knuckle connection assembly includes a fixed plate 411 mounted on the lower end of the shock absorber connecting rod 1 and a lower fixed ring 412 mounted on the lower end of the fixed plate 411.

[0043] It should be noted that the fixed plate 411 provides a stable mounting base for the lower end of the shock absorber connecting rod 1. The lower fixed ring 412 is usually a ring structure with mounting holes, which is fixedly connected to the corresponding mounting point of the automotive steering knuckle by bolts. The fixed plate 411 plays the role of force transmission and support.

[0044] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 2 The body connection assembly includes a shock absorber body 421 mounted on the upper end of the shock absorber connecting rod 1, an upper fixing ring 422 mounted on the upper end of the shock absorber body 421, and a shock absorber spring 423 mounted on the outside of the shock absorber body 421.

[0045] It should be noted that the shock absorber body 421 includes core shock-absorbing components such as piston rod and hydraulic cylinder to achieve the damping function. The upper fixing ring 422 is also a ring structure with mounting holes, which is used to fix the upper end of the shock absorber to the mounting seat of the vehicle body by bolts. The shock absorber spring 423 is sleeved on the outside of the shock absorber body 421, mainly to support the weight of the vehicle body and buffer the impact.

[0046] Working principle: The lower fixing ring 412 at the lower end of the shock absorber connecting rod 1 is connected to the vehicle steering knuckle through the fixing plate 411, and its upper end is connected to the vehicle body through the shock absorber body 421 and the upper fixing ring 422. The shock absorber spring 423 on the outside of the shock absorber body 421 is used to buffer the vibration during driving. After the upper end screw 18 of the coupling rod 17 passes through the mounting plate 12, the hexagonal nut 19 is tightened on the screw 18 to fix the coupling rod 17. In order to ensure that the hexagonal nut 19 will not loosen or fall off during continuous bumps and vibrations of the vehicle, an anti-detachment plate 15 with a hexagonal groove 16 is provided on the surface of the mounting plate 12. The tightened hexagonal nut 19 is inserted into the hexagonal groove 16 to restrict its rotation. In order to firmly fix the position of the anti-detachment plate 15 to lock the hexagonal nut 19, a locking mechanism is provided on the locking frame 14 of the second arc plate 13. When it is necessary to lock the anti-detachment plate 15, a locking mechanism is provided. When the anti-detachment plate 15 is dislodged, the restoring force of the return spring 222 pushes the push plate 221 to move horizontally towards the anti-detachment plate 15. The top plate 312 on the surface of the push plate 221 moves accordingly and is engaged in the engagement groove 311 on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15. This engagement action pushes the anti-detachment plate 15 to fit tightly against the surface of the mounting plate 12. At the same time, the insertion block 322 on the surface of the anti-detachment plate 15 is precisely inserted into the pre-set insertion groove 321 on the surface of the mounting plate 12 during the process of the anti-detachment plate 15 being pushed and fitted, forming a secondary fixation. Through the combined action of the clamping force of the engagement component and the physical limit of the insertion component, the anti-detachment plate 15 is firmly positioned on the mounting plate 12. The hexagonal groove 16 inside completely restrains the hexagonal nut 19, effectively preventing it from rotating and loosening during vibration, thereby ensuring the reliability of the connection between the coupling rod 17 and the shock absorber mounting plate.

[0047] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
