Description

Telescopic shear mode magneto-rheological shock absorber

Technical Field

The invention relates to a telescopic shear mode magnetorheological damper, and belongs to the field of automobile parts and vibration and noise reduction.

Background

The magnetic rheological liquid is a material whose rheological properties such as viscosity and plasticity are changed sharply under the action of external magnetic field, and its basic characteristics are that it can be changed from free flowing liquid into semisolid in millisecond time under the action of external magnetic field, and it presents controllable yield strength, and the change is reversible. By changing the current, the rheological property of the magnetorheological fluid can be effectively controlled, and the magnetorheological damper with continuously adjustable damping force can be designed according to the principle.

At present, most of common magnetorheological dampers are telescopic valve type magnetorheological dampers, pressure difference is generated between an upper cavity and a lower cavity through the up-and-down movement of a piston, so that magnetorheological fluid flows through a damping channel on the piston, and controllable damping force is generated by applying the flow mode of the magnetorheological fluid. The magnetorheological damper can provide small damping force at low speed. Considering that the roll frequency of a vehicle body is low when the vehicle runs in a steering mode, the telescopic valve type magnetorheological shock absorber cannot provide enough damping force to achieve effective roll control, and a rollover accident of the vehicle is caused in a serious situation. Although the patent application No. 201910623043.8 discloses a shear mode magnetorheological damper, which has a low-speed and large-damping characteristic, the structure of the magnetorheological damper still has the disadvantages of high manufacturing difficulty, high cost, and the need of an additional magnetorheological fluid compensation mechanism arranged outside.

Furthermore, the top of the telescopic cylinder is provided with an upper hanging ring used for being connected with a vehicle body.

Furthermore, the outside of a telescopic cylinder is provided with a dust cover, the upper end of the dust cover is fixedly sleeved on the upper end part of the telescopic cylinder or an upper hanging ring at the top end of the telescopic cylinder, the lower end of the dust cover is movably sleeved on the outer wall of the outer cylinder, an inward convex boss is arranged on the inner wall of the end part of the dust cover, which is in contact with the outer wall of the outer cylinder, and a felt is arranged in the boss to prevent dust from entering the inside of the shock absorber.

Furthermore, the outer wall around the top of outer cylinder is outwards convex, and it and the boss combined action on the dust cover inner wall to the vertical motion range of restriction telescopic cylinder prevents telescopic cylinder reciprocating motion and surpasss the sealing washer effect area and then leads to magnetorheological suspensions to leak and the separation from of telescopic cylinder and interior outer tube.

Furthermore, a partition board is arranged above the diaphragm, and a section of hollow space is arranged in the inner cylinder above the partition board and used for reducing the weight of the inner cylinder and further reducing the weight of the shock absorber.

All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

As shown in fig. 1 to 2, the shear type magnetorheological damper of the present invention has a main structure comprising: the device comprises an upper lifting ring 1, a telescopic cylinder 2, a rubber buffer block 3, a guide ring 4, a sealing ring 5, an outer cylinder 6, an inner cylinder 7, a working gap 8, a coil 9, a dust cover 10, a felt 11, a felt seat 12, a lower lifting ring 14, an air nozzle 15, a lower end cover 16, a gasket 17, a diaphragm 19, a partition plate 21, a magnetism isolating ring 23, an upper end cover 24 and the like. Wherein: the inner cylinder, the outer cylinder and the telescopic cylinder 2 are sealed through a sealing ring 5 and a lower end cover 16 to form a closed cavity, and magnetorheological fluid is filled in the cavity. The rubber buffer block 3 is connected to the top of the inner barrel 7 through an upper end cover 24. The telescopic cylinder 2 reciprocates vertically between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. The outer side of the upper part of the inner cylinder 7 is provided with 2 annular coil grooves, and enameled wires are wound inside the coil grooves. Two sealing rings 5 are respectively arranged between the inner cylinder 7 and the telescopic cylinder 2 and between the outer cylinder 6 and the telescopic cylinder 2, so that magnetorheological fluid is prevented from flowing out of the chamber. The lower end cap 16 is secured to an annular boss in the lower part of the outer cylinder 6 by a bolt a13 with a spacer 17 disposed therebetween. The lower end cover 16 is provided with a small hole, and the small hole is provided with an air nozzle 15. The lower part of the inner cylinder 7 is provided with a communicating hole 18, the working gap 8 is connected with a lower space 20 of the inner cylinder through the communicating hole 18, the lower space 20 is divided into an upper chamber and a lower chamber by a diaphragm 19, the upper chamber is connected with the working gap 8, magnetorheological fluid is filled in the upper chamber, gas with certain pressure is injected into the lower chamber through an air nozzle 15, when the magnetorheological damper is in a compression stroke, the volume of the telescopic cylinder entering the chambers is increased, the pressure in the chambers is increased, and redundant magnetorheological fluid flows into the lower space of the inner cylinder under the action of the pressure; when the magnetorheological damper is in a stretching working stroke, the volume of the telescopic cylinder in the cavity is reduced, the pressure of the lower cavity in the lower space of the inner cylinder is greater than the pressure in the magnetorheological fluid cavity, and under the action of pressure, the magnetorheological fluid in the lower space of the inner cylinder flows into the cavity to compensate for the insufficient volume of the magnetorheological fluid caused by stretching movement.

The working principle of the extension shear mode magneto-rheological damper is as follows: the upper suspension ring 1 of the magneto-rheological shock absorber is connected with a vehicle body, and the lower suspension ring 14 is connected with a vehicle frame. When the vehicle runs, the magnetorheological damper makes stretching and compressing movement along with the relative movement of the upper connecting part and the lower connecting part, the telescopic cylinder 2 makes vertical reciprocating movement up and down, and a working gap is reserved between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder and the telescopic cylinder 2. Due to the existence of the space 20 at the lower part of the inner cylinder, the magnetorheological fluid chamber can be ensured to be filled with the magnetorheological fluid all the time. The shearing stress generated between the inner wall and the outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 2 and between the inner cylinder 7 and the outer cylinder 6 changes along with the magnetic field intensity, the magnetic field intensity is influenced by the current in the coil 9, and the continuous control of the damping force generated by the shock absorber can be realized by controlling the size of the electrified current in the coil 9. The magneto-rheological shock absorber designed by the invention mainly depends on the shear mode of the magneto-rheological fluid to generate damping force, the damping force model of the shear mode is related to the hydrodynamic viscosity and the yield strength of the magneto-rheological fluid, and the hydrodynamic viscosity can be ignored compared with the shear yield stress of the magneto-rheological shock absorber, so that the magnitude of the damping force has no great relation with the relative movement speed, and when the speed is zero, a certain exciting current is applied, and a sufficient shear area is ensured, and a great damping force can be generated. The shear mode magnetorheological damper designed by the invention has the characteristics of low speed and large damping, and can obtain better anti-roll effect compared with a common valve type magnetorheological damper when a vehicle runs in a steering mode.
