And the piston also comprises a regulating channel communicated with the two channel groups, and the two one-way valves of the regulating channel are in a closed state under low-speed flow, so that fluid is allowed to flow between the upper chamber and the lower chamber, and the piston has the effect of regulating the low-speed flow.

This piston is through setting up the regulation passageway in order to allow the fluid to flow through when the low-speed flow, avoids in the traditional piston through the complicated structure or set up the various not enough that the pressure differential opened of check valve adjusted the low-speed flow, is a brand-new, effective and easily novel bumper shock absorber piston of popularization and application, but the wide application is in car, rail transit vehicle.

Example one

As shown in fig. 1 and 2, a damper piston (piston for short) with adjustable low-speed flow rate includes a piston body for fitting in a piston cavity, and an upper chamber 310 is formed above the piston body and a lower chamber 320 is formed below the piston body.

The piston also comprises a plurality of first channel groups 1a and a plurality of second channel groups 1b which respectively penetrate through the piston main body to communicate the upper cavity chamber and the lower cavity chamber; the piston main body further comprises a first valve position 1c arranged on the upper end surface of the piston main body and a second valve position 1d arranged on the lower end surface of the piston main body, the first channel group 1a is communicated with the first valve position 1c so as to open or close the communication between the first channel group 1a and the upper chamber 310 through a first valve piece 1e arranged at the first valve position 1c, namely, the first valve piece 1e is used for controlling the up-and-down communication of the first channel group 1 a; the second channel group 1b is communicated with the second valve position 1d to open or close the communication between the second channel group 1b and the lower chamber 320 via the second valve element 1f disposed at the second valve position 1d, i.e., the second valve element 1f controls the up-and-down communication of the second channel group 1 b.

The first valve element 1e and the second valve element 1f are respectively fitted at the first valve position 1c and the second valve position 1d to form two check valves for controlling the one-way opening and closing of the first channel group lower port 11b and the second channel group lower port 12b, the first channel group lower port 11b is always communicated with the lower chamber 320, and the second channel group upper port 12a is always communicated with the upper chamber 310. The first valve element 1e and the second valve element 1f may be various structures that can realize one-way sealing, such as a one-way valve membrane, a one-way valve ball, and the like.

An adjusting channel 14 is formed on the piston main body or after the piston main body is matched with the piston cavity, the adjusting channel 14 is communicated with at least one first channel group 1a and at least one second channel group 1b so as to form a normally open adjusting channel group on the piston main body, and the adjusting channel group is formed by sequentially communicating an upper port 12a of the second channel group, a part of the second channel group 1b, the adjusting channel 14, a part of the first channel group 1a and a lower port 11b of the first channel group.

At low flow rate, the first valve element 1e and the second valve element 1f respectively close the first channel group upper port 11a and the second channel group lower port 12b, and the upper chamber 310 and the lower chamber 320 are communicated by a regulating channel group formed by the second channel group upper port 12a, the second channel group 1b part, the regulating channel 14, the first channel group 1a part and the first channel group lower port 11b, so that at low flow rate, the two check valves are in a closed state, and fluid is allowed to flow between the upper chamber 310 and the lower chamber 320.

Since the regulating passage 14 is normally provided, it has a significantly lower actuation pressure difference with respect to the first valve element 1e and the second valve element 1f, so that fluid can be allowed to flow between the upper and lower chambers at a low flow rate, thereby achieving a low-speed damping effect.

The materials and shapes of the first valve element 1e and the second valve element 1f, which are used to form the check valves, can be set as required, so that each check valve has its corresponding opening pressure difference. Generally, a softer material or a thinner structure at the connection can make the check valve have a smaller opening pressure difference, but may cause the closing to be more delayed; and vice versa. In the embodiment, the adjusting passage is arranged, so that the piston has low-speed adjustable flow rate, and meanwhile, the closing delay of the piston is not caused, namely, the performance of other aspects or working conditions of the piston is not adversely affected when the piston has the function of low-speed flow rate adjustment.

Example two

As shown in fig. 3 to 10, a damper piston (piston for short) with an adjustable low-speed flow rate includes a piston body for fitting in a piston cavity, and an upper chamber 310 is formed above and a lower chamber 320 is formed below the piston body after fitting.

The piston further comprises a plurality of first channel groups and a plurality of second channel groups which respectively penetrate through the piston main body to be communicated with the upper cavity chamber and the lower cavity chamber.

The piston is composed of a first piston A and a second piston B which are matched with each other, the first piston A and the second piston B are respectively in a cylindrical shape or a cylinder-like shape, and the lower end of the first piston A is matched with the upper end of the second piston B to form the piston.

The first piston a has a first piston upper end surface 101, a first piston side wall 102 and a first piston lower end surface 103, and the first piston a is further provided with a first center hole 11 disposed through the first piston a, and the first center hole 11 communicates the first piston upper end surface 101 with the first piston lower end surface 103, which is disposed substantially parallel to the side wall of the first piston a.

The first piston a further includes a plurality of first passages 12 penetrating through the first piston a, the first passages 12 also communicate with the upper end surface 101 and the lower end surface 103 of the first piston, and preferably, a plurality of first passages are arranged at intervals along the circumferential direction of the first piston a, and the cross-sectional shape of each first passage 12 may be a straight line segment or a curved line segment, such as an arc segment. Optimally, each first passage 12 is uniformly arranged in the circumferential direction within a range of 360 °.

The first piston a further comprises a second channel 13, and the second channel 13 communicates the first piston side wall 102 with the first piston lower end surface 103.

The second piston B has a second piston upper end face 201, a second piston side wall 202 and a second piston lower end face 203.

After the first piston a and the second piston B are integrally fitted in the piston cavity 300, a gap 301 is formed between the first piston a and the inner wall of the piston cavity 300, and the second piston sidewall 202 and the piston cavity 300 are tightly fitted to divide the piston cavity 300 into an upper chamber 310 and a lower chamber 320.

The second passage 13 of the first piston a communicates with the upper chamber 310 via the gap 301.

And a second center hole 21 penetrating through the second piston B is formed in the second piston B, and the second center hole 21 is arranged corresponding to the first center hole 11 so that a fixing stud can penetrate through the first center hole and the second center hole to relatively fix the first piston and the second piston.

The second piston B is further provided with a plurality of third channels 22 and a plurality of fourth channels 23 which penetrate through the second piston B, and the third channels 22 and the fourth channels 23 are respectively communicated with the upper end surface 201 and the lower end surface 203 of the second piston.

And, the third channel 22 corresponds to the first channel 12, the fourth channel 23 corresponds to the second channel 13, so as to form two channel groups that run through the two pistons; the first channel group is: upper chamber 310- (first valve element 1e) -first passage 12-third passage 22-lower chamber 320, the second passage set being: upper chamber 310-gap 301-second channel 13-fourth channel 23- (second valve element 1f) -lower chamber 320.

A first check valve and a second check valve are respectively arranged in the upper direction and the lower direction of the piston, the first check valve is arranged on the upper end surface of the first piston A and is matched outside the first channel 12, so that the fluid is allowed to flow upwards from the lower direction of the piston but not downwards from the upper side of the piston, namely: the first one-way valve allows fluid flow from the lower chamber 320 to the upper chamber 310 but inhibits fluid flow from the upper chamber 310 to the lower chamber 320. The second check valve is disposed on the lower end surface of the second piston B and fitted outside the fourth passage 23, except that it allows the fluid to flow downward from above the piston but does not allow the fluid to flow upward from below the piston, that is: the second one-way valve allows fluid to flow from the upper chamber 310 down but prohibits fluid from flowing from the lower chamber 320 to the upper chamber 310.

Of course, the one-way flow direction of the fluid formed after the first and second check valves are set is schematic, and the two check valves may be set in the opposite direction.

In this embodiment, the piston body is further formed with an adjusting passage 14, and the adjusting passage 14 communicates at least one first passage set with at least one second passage set to form a normally open adjusting passage set on the piston body. At low flow rates, the first and second sets of passages are completely closed by their respective check valves, but the set of passages are adapted to communicate between the upper and lower chambers to allow fluid flow between the upper chamber 310 and the lower chamber 320 when the two check valves are in a closed state at low flow rates.

In the best case, the regulating channel 14 communicates with all the first and second channel groups.

The adjusting passage 14 is a slope provided on the outer side of the lower end surface 103 of the first piston, that is, the bottom surface of the first piston a is formed by appropriate cutting or molding so as to have a slope with a certain inclination angle, and when the first piston a is fitted to the second piston B, a gap-like adjusting passage 14 is formed therebetween, so that the first and second passage groups are communicated with each other. As shown in fig. 6, the dashed line 104 below the adjusting channel 14 is the original bottom line of the first piston a, and the adjusting channel 14 is formed as a channel opening 142 at the side surface of the first piston a.

second passages

Since the diameter of the first piston a is smaller than the inner diameter of the piston chamber 300, a gap 301 is formed therebetween, and the upper end of the gap 301 is communicated with the upper chamber 310 and the lower end is blocked by the second piston B.

An annular wall 204 is arranged on the outer side of the upper end face of the second piston B, the annular wall 204 is higher than the upper end face of the second piston B, and after the first piston A is matched on the second piston B, the lower end of the first piston side wall 102 is matched on the inner wall of the annular wall 204. Preferably, the diameter of the inner wall of the annular wall 204 is slightly smaller than the outer diameter of the side wall of the first piston a, so that the first piston a and the second piston B are in interference fit.

Preferably, a gap 15 is formed between the side wall and the bottom surface of the first piston a to form the second passage 13. Accordingly, the notch 15 may be disposed to extend forward in the radial direction, or may be disposed to extend obliquely inward at an appropriate angle to the radial direction.

Wherein, the depth H of the gap 15 is generally consistent, but it is also possible that the depth of each position of the gap 15 is different; the width W of the recess 15 can likewise be uniform throughout or different from one another, for example decreasing radially from the outside to the inside. Most preferably, the two sides of the notch are arranged radially to form a notch 15 having a sector-shaped cross-sectional shape.
