Description

Technical Field

The invention relates to a damping technology, in particular to a damper with an electromagnetic adjusting device and an adjusting method thereof.

Background

At present, the hydraulic shock absorber is widely applied to the field of automobiles, and damping force of the hydraulic shock absorber is mainly generated by oil passing holes and valve plates. In the prior art, because the aperture of the oil passing hole and the valve plate are fixed in a damping mode, the damping force is only related to the relative movement speed between the vehicle body and the wheels, the damping force cannot be correspondingly adjusted along with different working conditions of the vehicle, the requirement of an automobile suspension system on the damping force cannot be completely met, and the riding comfort and the operation stability of the vehicle cannot be considered at the same time.

With the development of the technology, some technologies for adjusting the oil passing amount between the inner working cylinder and the outer reserve cylinder by arranging a regulating valve at the bottom of the working cylinder appear in the prior art, but the prior art still has a plurality of defects. For example, the adjustment capability is provided only when the piston rod is moved in one direction, and the adjustment valves are mounted at the bottom of the working and reserve tubes and tend to interfere with other structures. For example, the core structure of the regulating valve mostly adopts the matching of a spring and a valve plate, or the matching of the spring and a ball valve, the regulating precision is not high, the continuous regulation cannot be realized, the opening degree of the valve core of the regulating valve is difficult to keep stable under different working conditions due to the elastic characteristic of the spring, and the service life is short due to the easy aging of the spring. In addition, the existing hydraulic shock absorber has other defects, such as that the shock absorbing effect is to be improved when the piston rod is in a stretching stroke in the working cylinder.

In addition, the governing valve among the prior art is mostly manual governing valve, is set up by the producer according to the motorcycle type when assembling in the vehicle, and the user is difficult to adjust the rigidity to hydraulic damper during subsequent use and adjusts. Some regulating valves using the solenoid valve only have an overflowing channel inside, and are closed or opened by the solenoid valve, or the overflowing channel is opened by the solenoid valve or closed by the solenoid valve, so that the regulating mode is single.
