Abstract

The invention relates to a prestressed rubber suspension/shock absorber system for vehicle axles in general. The inventive system comprises two concentric tubes; one inner and one outer tube. A power lever is welded to, or forms an integral part of, the outer tube and is used to articulate said tube to the axle, spring or spring mount of the vehicle by means of a bushing or perforated support plates. Two steel support plates, comprising a perforation at the ends thereof, are welded to the ends of the inner tube or axle, each of said plates being used to articulate the inner tube to the axle, spring or spring mount of the vehicle. A mixture of natural and synthetic rubber is disposed between the two tubes, said mixture being affixed to the contact surfaces thereof. When the tubes are rotated one inside the other, said surfaces subject the rubber to tension. The inventive system is characterised in that it is prestressed in the factory with the force and position required for use in the majority of vehicles having their original body. Said system can be used together with standard factory-installed suspension systems or as an integral suspension system. Moreover, the invention can be used: (i) diagonally, as a shock absorber between the axle and the chassis; and (ii), vertically, as an auxiliary suspension between the axle and the chassis.

The reference suspension / shock absorber is constituted by a pair of concentric tubes with rubber attached to its contact surface, which when turning one inside the other subject the rubber to stress and compression stresses, this system can have one or more stages built, it can be an integral suspension system or be used as a first or second stage of some suspension system already installed in the vehicle, it can be for example spring or sheet metal springs, this suspension joins the vehicle chassis with the axle of the wheels using a force lever integrated to the outer tube and a support that holds the inner tube or arrow and that joins the system to the other end that can be the chassis or the axle and / or spring and / or swing.
ANTECEDENTES DE LA INVENCIÓNBACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Se han desarrollado varios sistemas de suspensión, como son muelles de hojas metálicas, resortes helicoidales, bolsas de aire, etc., todos ellos buscan que el vehículo viaje confortablemente en caminos con topes, baches, curvas, piedras, rugosidades, etc., a las cuales se enfrentan de manera constante y así como es de importante el confort de la suspensión, se requiere que tenga otras características como son: capacidad de carga, estabilidad, duración, bajo costo, simplicidad de operación, reducción de vibraciones, seguridad, bajo mantenimiento, etc., como es de esperar cada una de las suspensiones tiene ventajas y desventajas comparativas entre ellas, por ello se diseño esta suspensión que pretende en el caso de vehículos que ya tienen algún sistema de suspensión instalado, complementarlo, para reducir sus deficiencias y mejorar el confort o usarlo como un sistema integral de una o mas etapas.Several suspension systems have been developed, such as metal leaf springs, helical springs, airbags, etc., all of them looking for the vehicle to travel comfortably on roads with stops, potholes, curves, stones, roughness, etc., to which are constantly faced and just as the comfort of the suspension is important, it is required that you have other features such as: load capacity, stability, duration, low cost, simplicity of operation, vibration reduction, safety, low maintenance, etc., as expected each of the suspensions has comparative advantages and disadvantages among them, therefore This suspension was designed that is intended in the case of vehicles that already have some suspension system installed, complement it, to reduce its deficiencies and improve comfort or use it as an integral system of one or more stages.
Una de las principales desventajas de los sistemas existentes es que el vehículo no tiene un adecuado confort en todo el rango de carga de tal forma que existen sistemas que cuando el vehículo esta sin carga o ligeramente cargado, este brinca, vibra, salta, es inestable en caminos rugosos, etc., y cuando esta cargado trabaja bastante bien pero no siempre se va a tener al vehículo totalmente cargado y a la inversa algunos sistemas son moderadamente confortables sin carga pero al cargarlos se inclinan demasiado, son inestables, disminuye la visibilidad, etc., en ambos casos la suspensión en etapas de hule a tensión se instala en uno como primera etapa para hacer confortable y estable al vehículo cuando se encuentra sin carga o casi sin carga y en el otro caso se emplea para mejorar las características de carga disminuyendo la inclinación del vehículo y aumentando su estabilidad funcionando como una segunda etapa o auxiliar.One of the main disadvantages of existing systems is that the vehicle does not have adequate comfort in the entire load range so that there are systems that when the vehicle is unloaded or lightly loaded, it jumps, vibrates, jumps, is unstable on rough roads, etc., and when it is loaded it works quite well but the vehicle is not always fully loaded and conversely some systems are moderately comfortable without loading but when they are loaded they lean too much, they are unstable, visibility decreases, etc. In both cases, the suspension in tension rubber stages is installed in one as the first stage to make the vehicle comfortable and stable when it is without load or almost without load and in the other case it is used to improve the load characteristics by decreasing the inclination of the vehicle and increasing its stability functioning as a second stage or auxiliary.
Así mismo; esta suspensión de hule a tensión puede fabricarse con dos o mas etapas ínter construidas de tal forma que puede ser usado como un sistema integral de suspensión que le brindara al vehículo un adecuado confort en todo el rango de carga y una excelente estabilidad, seguridad bajo costo y mantenimiento.Likewise; This tension rubber suspension can be manufactured with two or more stages built in such a way that it can be used as an integral suspension system that will provide the vehicle with adequate comfort throughout the load range and excellent stability, low cost security And maintenance.
