It is known that the damping force characteristics are made variable depending on the driving conditions of the automobile. This variable damping force type shock absorber basically controls the variable orifice of the internally built-in valve mechanism by a drive mechanism such as a motor attached to the shock absorber, thereby making the damping force characteristics variable. This is what I am trying to do.

A harness 4 derived from electrical components such as a motor (not shown) attached to the rod 2, a variable orifice position detection sensor, a hydraulic oil temperature detection sensor, etc. is inserted, and the harness 4 is pulled out from the end of the rod 2 and attached to the vehicle body 7. The power supply side harness 6 is connected to the power supply side harness 6 arranged therein. These harnesses 4,
The connector 5 is used exclusively for the connection of the harness 4 from the rod 2, and either a male or a female connector, for example, a male connector 5a, is connected to the end of the harness 4 from the rod 2, and a female connector 5b is connected to the end of the harness 6 on the power supply side.

Next, after inserting the harness 4 and the end of the rod 2 into the mounting hole 7a, the nut 8 must be inserted from the end of the connector 5a, and the nut 8 must be screwed onto the threaded portion 2a of the rod 2 to fix it. When such work is performed on an automobile assembly line, there is a problem in that the ease of assembly is greatly deteriorated, and work efficiency and productivity are significantly impaired. Further, since the harness 4 and the connector 5a are pulled out from the end of the rod 2, there is a problem that the harness 4 and the connector 5a are very likely to be damaged when the shock absorber S is assembled or transported.

Further, a positioning groove 12 is formed in one side of the open end of the receiving hole 11, and the positioning groove 12 is formed in the receiving hole 11 at an arbitrary position on the outer surface of the connector 5a at the end of the shock absorber side harness 4. A socket portion 10 is constructed in which a protrusion 5A that engages with the rod 2 is provided protrudingly, and the groove 12 and the protrusion 5A are matched and fitted, and the connector 5b of the terminal of the power supply side harness 6 is fitted to the end of the rod 2. are doing. Further, a protrusion 13 that engages with the positioning groove 12 is provided protrudingly at an arbitrary position on the outer surface of the power supply side connector 5b, and by collating and engaging these grooves 12 and the protrusion 13, the power supply side connector 5b This is to avoid mis-insertion. Further, a connector hold cap 14 is attached to the power supply side connector 5b to cover and protect the connection portion of the end of the rod 2 with the socket portion 10.

Then, the end of the rod 2 is fastened and fixed to the vehicle body 7, and the terminal connector 5b of the power source side harness 6 disposed on the vehicle body 7 is connected to the socket portion 10 of the rod 2 end by its protrusion 13.
By fitting the connector into the groove 12 of the socket part 10, the rod-side connector 5a in the socket part 10 can be reliably connected, and the assembly work can be performed very easily. In addition, since the harness 4 and connector 5a on the rod 2 side are not pulled out from the end of the rod 2, it is difficult to insert the rod 2 into the mounting hole 7a of the vehicle body 7 or when transporting the shock absorber S. There is no risk of damaging the harness 4 and connector 5a.

用上多大な効果を有する。[Effects of the Invention] As described above, according to the present invention, when assembling the rod to the vehicle body, the harness that prevents the rod end from being inserted into the mounting hole does not protrude from the rod end, so that it is not possible to use a normal shock absorber. As with the absorber, the rod end can be inserted into the mounting hole of the vehicle body as it is and fixed with a nut, etc., and the shock absorber side harness and the power supply side harness arranged on the vehicle body can be connected to the socket part formed at the rod end. It is sufficient to simply insert the connector of the power supply side harness terminal, which greatly simplifies the work and facilitates assembly into the vehicle body. In addition, since the socket part is formed at the end of the rod, and the shock absorber side harness and its terminal connector are built into the rod, it is possible to reliably protect them and prevent damage. It has a great effect.
