Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assembly device technology, specifically a vacuum assembly device for a shock absorber body. Background Technology

[0002] A monotube shock absorber is a high-performance hydraulic damping device that works through a unique gas-liquid coupling damping principle. Due to its excellent response and heat dissipation performance, it is commonly used in scenarios with high handling requirements. It generally consists of a shock absorber body, inside which is a floating piston with nitrogen filling the space between the floating piston and the bottom of the shock absorber body. Inside the shock absorber body is a perforated shock-absorbing piston, and a guide that serves as the piston rod is mounted on top of the shock absorber body. The space between the floating piston and the guide is filled with damping oil, and the shock-absorbing piston moves up and down in the oil to provide a damping effect.

However, micro-air bubbles present in the oil can still enter the shock absorber body, leading to a decrease in shock absorber performance. Furthermore, in the existing vacuum assembly process for shock absorbers, nitrogen filling and oil filling are usually completed in two separate steps, resulting in reduced assembly efficiency and increased labor costs.

An oil injection valve 10 is provided on the outside of the oil injection cylinder 5, and the oil injection valve 10 is connected to the oil injection port 55. The oil injection valve 10 is connected to the oil storage tank 11 through a pipe. The oil storage tank 11 is fixed to the upper part of the upright plate 1 by the bracket 12.

The first limiting cylinder 6 is driven by a first limiting shaft 62, and the first limiting shaft 62 is slidably sealed to the first limiting shaft hole 51. The first limiting cylinder 6 drives the first limiting shaft 62 to extend or retract. The lower part of the oil filling cylinder 5 is provided with a through second limiting shaft hole 52, and a second limiting cylinder 7 is provided through the second cylinder seat 71 corresponding to the second limiting shaft hole 52. The second limiting cylinder 7 is driven by a second limiting shaft 73, and the second limiting shaft 73 is slidably sealed to the first limiting shaft hole 51. The second limiting cylinder 7 drives the second limiting shaft 73 to extend or retract.

[0026] Furthermore, the end faces of the first limiting shaft 62 and the second limiting shaft 73 are provided with arc-shaped structures that cooperate with the inner wall of the oil injection cylinder 5. The first limiting shaft 62 and the second limiting shaft 73 play a role in sealing and, after resetting, cooperate with the inner wall of the oil injection cylinder 5 to avoid the formation of cavities.

[0027] Furthermore, the clamping device includes a vertical guide rail 17 provided at the lower part of the upright plate 1, a slide block 18 slidably connected to the guide rail 17, a motor 19 provided at the bottom of the upright plate 1, a lead screw 20 driven by the motor 19, a ball screw nut provided on the slide block 18, the lead screw 20 being driven by the ball screw nut, the motor 19 driving the slide block 18 to move up and down, a fixed block 21 provided on one side of the slide block 18, a third cylinder seat 22 provided on the other side of the slide block 18, a clamping cylinder 23 provided on the third cylinder seat 22, a movable block 24 driven by the clamping cylinder 23, the movable block 24 being correspondingly provided with the fixed block 21, and the movable block 24 and the fixed block 21 cooperating to clamp the shock absorber body 25.

[0028] Furthermore, the fixed block 21 and the movable block 24 are provided with corresponding semi-circular grooves in the middle. The semi-circular grooves cooperate with the shock absorber body 25 to facilitate the fixing of the shock absorber body 25. When the shock absorber body 25 is fixed on the slide 18, the upper part of the shock absorber body 25 is correspondingly arranged with the sleeve 4 to clamp the cylindrical shock absorber body 25.

[0029] Furthermore, the lower part of the sleeve 4 mates with the shock absorber body 25, and the upper end of the shock absorber body 25 is sealed to the lower end of the oil injection cylinder 5 by a tight fit.

[0030] Furthermore, the oil storage tank 11 is made of transparent material, making it easy to observe the amount of oil inside the oil storage tank 11.

[0031] Furthermore, a base 2 is provided at the bottom of the upright plate 1 to support the upright plate 1.

[0032] The working principle of this utility model: The shock absorber body 25 is clamped and fixed to the slide block 18 by the clamping cylinder 23. The motor 19 drives the slide block 18 to move upward, and the upper part of the shock absorber body 25 is inserted into the sleeve 4, so that the upper end of the shock absorber body 25 cooperates with the lower end of the oil injection cylinder 5 to achieve a seal. The first limit cylinder 6 drives the first limit shaft 62 to extend, and the floating piston 26 is placed into the oil injection cylinder 5. The diameter of the oil injection cylinder 5 is the same as the diameter of the shock absorber body 25. The floating piston 26 cooperates with the oil injection cylinder 5 to achieve a movable seal. The first limit shaft 62 limits the floating piston 26. The vacuum pump connected to the first vacuum valve 9 is started and... The first vacuum valve 9 is opened to evacuate the sealed cavity formed by the oil injection cylinder 5 and the shock absorber body 25. After evacuation, the first vacuum valve 9 is closed, the gas injection valve 8 is opened, nitrogen gas is injected in a measured amount, and then the gas injection valve 8 is closed. The second limit cylinder 7 drives the second limit shaft 73 to extend, and the first limit cylinder 6 drives the first limit shaft 62 to retract. The floating piston 26 moves downward under pressure and is limited by the second limit shaft 73. The inner cavity of the shock absorber body 25 is still not in a semi-vacuum state. The shock absorber piston 27 is placed into the oil injection cylinder 5. The first limit cylinder 6 drives the first limit shaft 62 to extend, and the first limit shaft 62 guides... When the limit switch 29 is engaged, fill the storage tank with oil exceeding the required amount. Open the oil filling valve 10 and the second vacuum valve 15, and start the vacuum pump connected to the second vacuum valve 15 to evacuate the oil filling cylinder 5. Simultaneously, oil from the storage tank 11 flows into the oil filling cylinder 5 until the cavity is full. Continue evacuating to remove micro-air bubbles from the oil. While evacuating, be careful to prevent the floating piston 26 from moving upwards under the vacuum. Stop evacuating after the floating piston 26 moves upwards, and open the pressure relief valve 16 to release pressure. To ensure that micro-air bubbles are fully removed from the oil, evacuation can be repeated multiple times. After the microbubbles in the liquid are fully extracted, the second vacuum valve 15 is closed, the pressure relief valve 16 is opened to release pressure, the oil injection valve 10 is closed, the first limit shaft 62 and the second limit shaft 73 retract, and the floating piston 26, guide 29, shock absorber piston 27 and piston rod 28 connected to shock absorber piston 27 move downward as a whole under pressure and enter the inner cavity of shock absorber body 25, completing the assembly of shock absorber body 25. The motor 19 drives the slide 18 to move downward, so that shock absorber body 25 is separated from the cylinder. The clamping cylinder 23 releases the movable block 24, and the operator removes the assembled shock absorber body 25.

[0033] The amount of nitrogen filling is the amount used for assembling the shock absorber body 25, and the amount of oil injection is the amount used for assembling the shock absorber body 25. Therefore, the guide 29, the shock absorber piston 27, and the piston rod 28 connected to the shock absorber piston 27 can move downward as a whole and enter the inner cavity of the shock absorber body 25 under the action of pressure.

[0034] During vacuuming and oil injection, oil enters the air injection port 53 and the air extraction port 54. Before the next assembly, the oil remaining in the air injection port 53 and the air extraction port 55 is cleaned. A vacuum pump capable of extracting liquid is used to assist in extracting the oil remaining in the air extraction port 54. The oil remaining in the air injection port 53 is blown out by a metered air pump.

[0035] This utility model is equipped with an independent oil storage tank 11, which, in conjunction with vacuuming, can extract the original micro air bubbles in the oil, thereby improving the quality of shock absorber assembly and the performance of the shock absorber. This device also improves assembly efficiency and reduces labor costs by integrating oil injection and air injection into one process.

[0036] The above are merely optional embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0037] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.
