The disclosed embodiment provides a torsion bar spring, as shown in fig. 1, the torsion bar spring includes a spring body 1 and two connecting shafts 2, and the two connecting shafts 2 are respectively connected to an end portion of the spring body 1.
The spring body 1 comprises a shell 11 and a filling rod 12, wherein the shell 11 is a conductive composite material structural member, two end parts of the shell 11 are respectively provided with a wire connector 111, the wire connectors 111 are used for being connected with a vehicle-mounted power supply and a vehicle-mounted current control system so as to change the rigidity of the shell 11 by adjusting the current loaded on the shell 11, the filling rod 12 is inserted into the shell 11 along the length direction of the shell 11, and the outer wall of the filling rod 12 is connected with the inner wall of the shell 11.
The torsion bar spring also comprises connectors 3 which are in one-to-one correspondence with the connecting shafts 2, and the connectors 3 are respectively fixedly sleeved on the corresponding connecting shafts 2.
When the torsion bar spring provided by the embodiment of the disclosure is used in an automobile, the torsion bar spring comprises a spring body 1, a connecting shaft 2 and a connector 3, the connecting shaft 2 is connected with the spring body 1, and the connector 3 is fixed on the connecting shaft 2, so that the torsion bar spring can be directly installed in a chassis of the automobile through the connector 3.
In addition, the shell 11 and the filler rod 12 of the spring body 1 are both composite material structural members, and the composite material has higher specific strength, specific modulus and damping ratio compared with a metal material, so that the energy storage capacity and the vibration damping performance of the torsion bar spring can be obviously improved.
In addition, because the housing 11 is a conductive composite material structural member, the end portion of the housing 11 is provided with the wire connector 111, and the wire connector 111 is used for being connected with the vehicle-mounted power supply and the vehicle-mounted current control system to change the rigidity of the housing 11, when the torsion bar spring is connected with the vehicle-mounted power supply and the vehicle-mounted current control system, the housing 11 can be powered on through the wire connector 111, so that the housing 11 can have an active rigidity changing function, and further actual requirements of different working conditions of an automobile are met.
From the foregoing, it can be seen that the torsion bar spring becomes stiff and the like due to the housing 11 plays an important role. Therefore, the structure of the housing 11 will be described with reference to fig. 2.
Fig. 2 is a flat layout of a housing in a torsion bar spring provided by an embodiment of the present disclosure, and in conjunction with fig. 2, in the present embodiment, the housing 11 includes a layer 112 and an implant layer 113.
The lay-up 112 is a plain weave glass fibre prepreg.
The implant layers 113 are shape memory alloy fibers, and the implant layers 113 are interwoven within the layup 112 at spaced intervals along the latitudinal direction of the layup 112.
In the above embodiment, the shell 11 is provided as the laminate 112 and the implant layer 113, and the rigidity of the shell 11 can be changed by combining the laminate 112 and the implant layer 113.
That is, the layup 112 is a body portion of the shell 11 for carrying the implant layer 113, the implant layer 113 being for enabling the shell 11 to have variable stiffness properties.
Since Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) fibers are used as the implant layer, and the SMA fibers have the excellent characteristic that the elastic modulus changes with the temperature, when the shell 11 is connected with the vehicle-mounted power supply and the vehicle-mounted current control system through the wire connector 111, the own modulus of the implant layer 113 is significantly changed due to heating after the shell is electrified, so that the rigidity adjustment of the shell 11 is realized.
Meanwhile, because the stiffness of the torsion bar spring is in direct proportion to the shear modulus of the spring body material, when the implanted layer 113 is electrified and heated, the phase change occurs, the elastic modulus of the implanted layer is obviously changed, and the overall modulus of the plain weave glass fiber of the layer 112 is obviously changed. Correspondingly, the shear modulus of the layer 112 changes correspondingly, and finally the overall stiffness of the torsion bar spring changes correspondingly.
The implanted layer 113 is interlaced in the layer 112 at intervals along the latitudinal direction of the layer 112, so that the implanted layer 113 can be uniformly distributed in the layer 112, the shear modulus of the whole area of the layer 112 can be correspondingly changed, and the corresponding change of the overall stiffness of the torsion bar spring is finally realized.
Illustratively, the fill direction of the layup 112 is inclined at 45 to the axial direction of the fill rod 12.
In the above implementation, the layer 112 is arranged as above, because the body 1 of the torsion bar spring mainly bears the torsion load, and the latitudinal direction of the layer 112 is inclined at 45 ° to the axial direction of the filler rod 12, so that the advantages of high strength and high modulus of the layer 112 can be fully exerted, i.e. the body of the torsion bar spring is ensured to have high strength and high modulus.
Alternatively, the filler rod 12 may be a polyurethane structural member.
In the implementation manner, the filling rod 12 is made of a polyurethane material, so that a strong adhesive force can be provided between the filling rod 12 and the shell 11, and the filling rod and the shell 11 can be firmly adhered together.
It will be appreciated that the filler rod 12 may be other structural members of material such as a rubber rod or the like. Since the filler rod 12 is used for preliminary setting of the conductive composite, the present disclosure is not limited thereto as long as the above requirements can be satisfied.
Illustratively, the filler rod 12 may be a cylindrical structural member.
In the above implementation manner, the filler rod 12 is provided as a cylindrical structural member, so that when the torsion bar spring is processed and manufactured, the conductive composite material can be conveniently coiled and coated on the outer wall of the filler rod 12, so as to form a preform of the torsion bar spring.
Of course, the filler rod 12 may also be other types of cylindrical structural members, such as a long bar cylindrical structural member, and the like, as long as the filler rod 12 can meet the actual processing requirements of the torsion bar spring, which is not limited in any way by the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Correspondingly, the connector 3 is an external spline, and the connecting shaft 2 is in a spline shape, so that the connector 3 is arranged in a shape matched with the connecting shaft 2 for better assembling with the connecting shaft 2, the assembling stability between the connector and the connecting shaft can be obviously improved, and the structural stability of the torsion bar spring is further ensured.
Moreover, as above, the spline has the groove and the protrusion, so the contact area between the connector 3 and the chassis can be increased through the connector 3 of the spline type, and further the connection between the two is ensured to be more stable, and finally the stability of the torsion bar spring during the installation of the automobile chassis is ensured.
In addition, the connector 3 is arranged to be in a spline structure, so that the connector 3 is conveniently connected with the spline structure in the automobile chassis, and further the connection between the connector 3 and the automobile chassis is realized.

In the above implementation, by integrally molding the connecting shaft 2 and the housing 11, the manufacturing efficiency of the torsion bar spring can be significantly improved.
In the present embodiment, in order to prolong the service life of the torsion bar spring, the protective layer 4 is generally provided on the outer surface of the torsion bar spring, and a specific structure of the protective layer 4 will be described below.
