Abstract

PURPOSE:To allow a damping force to be varied by varying a magnetic field strength in a clearance between a piston portion and a rod, which clearance communicating a lower oil chamber of a damper case enclosing magnetic fluid therein with an upper oil chamber thereof, and thereby varying viscosity of the magnetic fluid. CONSTITUTION:A piston 3 having valving mechanisms 9 and 10 at an end of a hollow piston rod 2 is slidably fitted into a damper case 4 enclosing magnetic fluid therein. A rod 11 projecting into the damper case 4 is inserted into a hollow portion 2a of the piston rod 2, and there is defined a clearance 12 between the rod 11 and a reduced diametrical shoulder 3a of the piston 3. Magnetic circuit is formed among the damper case 4, the piston 3 and the rod 11, and an electromagnetic coil 13 is provided in a part of the magnetic circuit. With this arrangement, a magnetic field strength in the clearance 12 between the piston portion 3a and the rod 11 is allowed to be varied by varying electric current flowing into the electromagnetic coil 13.

On the other hand, the rod 11 protruding from the center of the upper part of the damper case 4 is inserted into the hollow part 2a of the piston rod 2, and a diameter-reducing step part 3a is provided in a part of the piston 3, and the rod 11 and the linear step part are provided. A magnetic circuit is formed between the damper case 4, the piston 3, and the rod 11 through a suitable gap 12 between the damper case 3a. An electromagnetic coil 13 is provided in a part of this magnetic circuit, for example, the rod 11. Further, an oil passage is provided which communicates from the lower oil chamber A to the upper oil chamber B of the damper case 4 via the oil hole 14 provided in the piston rod 2 and the gap 12. Reference numeral 15 denotes a separately placed tank, which is divided into an oil chamber C and a gas chamber via a guiaclum 15a, and the oil chamber C is connected to the upper oil chamber B of the damper case 4 by a flexible pipe 16, and is connected to the piston. By expanding and contracting the rod 2, oil is absorbed and discharged according to the change in volume within the arm case 4.

During the compression stroke of the shock absorber, the inside of the oil chamber B is compressed and becomes high pressure, but a portion of the pressure is absorbed into the oil chamber C of the tank 15. However, since the rod 11 enters into the hollow part 2a of the piston rod 2, the pressure in the hollow part 2a becomes higher, and the magnetic fluid flows from the hollow part 2a through the gap 12 into the oil chamber B. At the same time, the valve mechanism 10 The magnetic fluid in the oil chamber B pushes open the valve mechanism (compression pulp) 9 through the oil hole 7 and flows into the lower oil chamber A, and a buffering effect is performed between the two.

In this case, if the electromagnetic coil 13 is energized from the outside, the strength of the magnetic field in the gap 12 will increase depending on the magnitude of the energization, and therefore the viscosity of the magnetic fluid flowing in the gap 12 will also increase, and the damping force will also increase. That is, the damping force can be adjusted.

On the other hand, during the extension stroke, there is no negative pressure in the oil chamber B.
A part of the oil is replenished from the oil chamber C of the tank 15, but the hollow part 2
Since the rod 11 is pulled out from inside a (third point, the inside of the hollow part 2a becomes more negative pressure. Therefore, the oil chamber B
When the magnetic fluid inside flows into the hollow part 2a through the gap 12, the magnetic fluid in the four o'clock button oil chamber A also flows through the oil hole 14 into the hollow part 2a.
flows within a. On the other hand, the valve mechanism 9 is seated due to the internal pressure in the lower oil chamber A of the damper case 4, so the magnetic fluid in the oil chamber A pushes open the valve mechanism 10 through the oil hole 8 and flows into the upper oil chamber B, and the two are buffered. action is taken. Therefore, the damping force can be adjusted in the same way as in the compression stroke.

The operating characteristics are shown in Fig. 2, with the horizontal axis representing the piston speed, the vertical axis representing the damping force during extension, and the vertical axis representing the damping force during compression. However, m,...' is n when there is no current,
n' is a characteristic curve when a constant current is applied. Of course, the sliding of the piston 3 changes the magnetic path length of the magnetic circuit, so the magnetic resistance changes, and this also makes it possible to vary the damping force depending on the position. Furthermore, by making the rod 11 tapered, the magnetic resistance at the position of the piston 3 can be changed, and the damping force at the position can also be varied.
