Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically relating to a protective device for a shock absorber and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The shock absorber is a core component of the automotive suspension system. As a vibration damping device, its main function is to attenuate vibrations caused by road impacts, improving ride comfort and handling safety. It converts mechanical energy into heat energy through hydraulic or pneumatic damping, reducing resistance during the suspension's compression stroke to buffer impacts and increasing resistance during the extension stroke to suppress rebound, ensuring wheel grip.

[0003] In mountainous or desert areas with poor road conditions, foreign objects thrown up by the tires can cause significant damage to the shock absorbers. Therefore, it is necessary to install protective devices on the outside of the shock absorbers to prevent damage and extend their service life.

[0004] However, current shock absorber protection devices are basically rectangular in structure. Rectangular shock absorber protective covers occupy a lot of space and are prone to interference with the airbag, causing damage to the airbag. Moreover, the structure of previous shock absorber protective covers was relatively complex, using multiple rectangular protective plates to assemble, which was more complicated to install, and the overall complex structure resulted in a heavier overall weight. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a protective device and vehicle for shock absorbers are provided to solve the problem of complex structure and large space occupation of shock absorber protective covers.

[0006] On the one hand, the technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: a protective device for a shock absorber, comprising: Two mounting brackets are provided, spaced apart, and fixed to the vehicle frame; Protective cover, the protective cover comprising: The cover includes an arc-shaped cover that curves along the outer periphery of the shock absorber, and the arc-shaped covers are spaced apart on the outside of the shock absorber near the wheel. Two connecting strips are connected to both sides of the cover, and the two connecting strips correspond to the two mounting brackets respectively; Several fasteners pass through the connecting strip and are fixedly connected to the mounting bracket.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects: By optimizing the cover into an arc shape, it fits the shock absorber better. The protective device consists of two parts: a protective cover and a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket is fixed to the frame, and the protective cover is connected and fixed to the mounting bracket by fasteners and is located on the side close to the wheel. It not only has a simple structure and obvious weight reduction effect, but is also easy to install and can protect against foreign objects thrown up by the wheel to the greatest extent.

[0008] Based on the above technical solution, the embodiments of this application can be further improved as follows: In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes a first bracket and a second bracket, which are respectively fixed to the upper and lower sides of the cross arm of the vehicle frame.

[0009] Since the shock absorber needs to be installed near the crossarm of the frame, in order to improve the stability of the mounting bracket, the mounting bracket is set as two brackets, which increases the contact area between the bracket and the crossarm of the frame, improves the connection between the mounting bracket and the frame, and avoids the situation of a single bracket or a single bracket fixed on the upper or lower side of the crossarm.

[0010] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket further includes a snap-fit ​​portion, the two ends of which are respectively connected to the first bracket and the second bracket, and a notch is formed between the snap-fit ​​portion and the two brackets to match and snap onto the cross arm.

[0011] In one embodiment, the snap-fit ​​portion is integrally formed with the first bracket and the second bracket, or the snap-fit ​​portion is detachably connected to the first bracket and the second bracket.

[0012] In one embodiment, the connecting strip includes: Mounting edge, which is correspondingly provided with the mounting bracket, and mounting holes are provided on the mounting edge; A connecting edge is bent and connected to one side of the mounting edge, and the connecting edge is also connected to the edge of the cover.

[0013] Because the cover is curved, a connecting edge is set to be formed by bending the mounting edge, and the connecting edge is used to connect with the cover, so that the mounting edge fits and corresponds better with the mounting bracket.

[0014] In one embodiment, the mounting bracket includes: The mounting part is fitted to the connecting strip; The connecting part is connected to one side of the mounting part, and the connecting part and the mounting part are bent to form a certain angle.

[0015] In one embodiment, the mounting portion on the mounting bracket near the airbag side of the vehicle frame is deflected so that it does not point in the direction of the airbag.

[0016] On the other hand, this utility model also discloses a vehicle that includes a protective device for the shock absorber as described above. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0028] Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, the protective device for a shock absorber 6 provided by this utility model includes: two mounting brackets 1, a protective cover 2, and multiple fasteners.

[0029] The two mounting brackets 1 are spaced apart and fixed to the vehicle frame 4. The spaced mounting brackets 1 are mainly used to connect to the two sides of the protective cover 2. The mounting brackets 1 can be fixed to the vehicle frame 4 by welding or screws.

[0030] The protective cover 2 includes a cover body 201 and two connecting strips 202.

[0031] The cover 201 includes an arc-shaped cover 201 that bends along the outer periphery of the shock absorber 6. The arc-shaped covers 201 are spaced apart on the outside of the shock absorber 6 near the wheel. The spaced arrangement of the arc-shaped covers 201 ensures that they do not contact the shock absorber 6. Two connecting strips 202 are connected to both sides of the cover 201. The two connecting strips 202 correspond to the two mounting brackets 1 respectively. The fastener passes through the connecting strip 202 and is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 1. The fastener can be a bolt or the like, and is used to fix the connecting strip 202 and the mounting bracket 1 together.

[0032] Compared with existing technologies, the above technical solutions have the following beneficial effects: By optimizing the cover 201 into an arc shape, it fits the shock absorber 6 better. The protective device includes two parts: a protective cover 2 and a mounting bracket 1. The mounting bracket 1 is fixed to the frame 4, and the protective cover 2 is fixed to the mounting bracket 1 by fasteners and is located on the side close to the wheel. It not only has a simple structure and obvious weight reduction effect, but is also easy to install and can protect against foreign objects thrown up by the wheel to the greatest extent.

[0033] Specifically, the mounting bracket 1 includes a first bracket 101 and a second bracket 102, which are respectively fixed to the upper and lower sides of the cross arm 5 of the frame 4.

[0034] Since the shock absorber 6 needs to be installed near the cross arm 5 of the frame 4, in order to improve the stability of the mounting bracket 1, the mounting bracket 1 is set as two brackets, which increases the contact area between the bracket and the cross arm 5 of the frame 4, improves the connection between the mounting bracket 1 and the frame 4, and avoids the situation of a single bracket or a single bracket fixed on the upper and lower sides of the cross arm 5.

[0035] In this embodiment, to facilitate fixed positioning during installation, the mounting bracket 1 further includes a snap-fit ​​part 103. The two ends of the snap-fit ​​part 103 are respectively connected to the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102. The snap-fit ​​part 103 and the two brackets form a matching snap-fit ​​notch 104 on the cross arm 5. The size of the notch 104 matches the cross arm 5 on the frame 4, so that during installation, the notch 104 on the mounting bracket 1 connected by the snap-fit ​​part 103 can be directly snapped into the cross arm 5.

[0036] Specifically, the snap-fit ​​part 103 is integrally formed with the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102, or the snap-fit ​​part 103 is detachably connected to the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102. As shown in the figure, the snap-fit ​​part 103 is integrally formed with the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102, and the snap-fit ​​part 103 can be detached by connecting the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 with bolts or the like, which can accommodate more cross arms 5 with different widths and thicknesses.

[0037] In this embodiment, the connecting strip 202 includes: an installation edge 2021 and a connecting edge 2022.

[0038] The mounting edge 2021 is correspondingly provided with the mounting bracket 1. The mounting edge 2021 is provided with mounting holes 3, and the corresponding mounting bracket 1 is also provided with mounting holes 3. The mounting edge 2021 and the mounting bracket 1 are fixed by using bolts or other fasteners passing through the mounting holes 3.

[0039] The connecting edge 2022 is bent and connected to one side of the mounting edge 2021. The connecting edge 2022 is also connected to the edge of the cover 201. Since the cover 201 is an arc-shaped cover 201, by setting the connecting edge 2022 formed by bending the mounting edge 2021, the mounting edge 2021 is connected to the cover 201, so that the mounting edge 2021 fits and corresponds better with the mounting bracket 1.

[0040] In this embodiment, the mounting bracket 1 includes a mounting part 301 and a connecting part 302, wherein the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 are correspondingly arranged and are consistent from top to bottom, both including the mounting part 301 and the connecting part 302.

[0041] The mounting part 301 is fitted to the connecting strip 202. Specifically, the mounting part 301 is fitted to the mounting edge 2021 in the connecting strip 202, and the mounting hole 3 is formed on the mounting part 301 and the mounting edge 2021.

[0042] The connecting part 302 is connected to one side of the mounting part 301. The connecting part 302 and the mounting part 301 are bent to form a certain angle. By forming the angle, the connecting part 302 and the mounting part 301 form a three-dimensional structure, which ensures the structural strength. At the same time, it makes the mounting bracket 1 and the cross arm 5 on the frame 4 have a high contact area, which ensures the connection stability.

[0043] Specifically, the mounting part 301 and the connecting part 302 that form the included angle can be formed by angle iron or by bending a whole plate. The angle is not fixed, as long as the angle forms a three-dimensional structure. Alternatively, the side plates can be welded together and fixed to form the shape by two flat plates.

[0044] To prevent the mounting bracket 1 and connecting strip 202 from extending outward and causing contact with the airbag 7, thus damaging the airbag 7, the mounting portion 301 on the mounting bracket 1 near the airbag 7 on the vehicle frame 4 is deflected so that it does not point towards the airbag 7. Correspondingly, the mounting edge 2021 connected to the mounting part 301 is not facing the airbag 7 because it fits the mounting part 301; thus, the airbag 7 is not damaged. In addition, since the airbag 7 corresponds to the lower second bracket 102 in the mounting bracket 1 in the longitudinal direction, the mounting part 301 in the second bracket 102 can be deflected so that it does not point to the airbag 7. At the same time, when the first bracket 101 is connected to the second bracket 102, the deflection of the mounting part 301 can be changed at the snap-fit ​​part 103, and the corresponding connecting strip 202 also changes at this place, so as to ensure that the connecting strip 202 fits against the mounting part 301 on the first bracket 101 and the second bracket 102 from top to bottom respectively.

[0045] Example 2 This utility model also discloses a vehicle that includes a protective device for the shock absorber 6 as described in Embodiment 1 above. The protective device is installed outside the shock absorber 6 inside the vehicle and has the same effect as in Embodiment 1, which will not be described again here.

[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
