Definitions
- the present invention relates to a damper with high dissipative power, and more particularly to a damper of the type comprising a rod-piston assembly sliding in a tubular body, said rod-piston assembly being adapted to be connected to a source of external disturbances and said tubular body being adapted to be connected to a structure to be protected.
- a rod-piston and return spring system is used which is interposed between the structure to be protected (for example the bodywork of a motor vehicle) and the source of external disturbances (for example a vehicle wheel in direct contact with the ground). There is then provided a cylinder and piston rod unit, surrounded by the return spring, whose function is to dissipate the energy of shocks by taking advantage of the viscous flow of the hydraulic fluid.
- the dissipation of energy in traditional dampers of this type is achieved through the transformation of the mechanical energy of the friction, in the solid-liquid system, into heat which emerges to the outside.
- This new type of damper used a concept of heterogeneous structure of absorption-energy dissipation using a capillary-porous matrix and an associated liquid with respect to which said matrix is lyophobic, as is described in detail in the document EP 0 791 1 39 B1 ten years older and the same inventor.
- a capillary porous solid matrix with open porosity and controlled topology is used, and a liquid surrounding the capillary-porous matrix defining a large specific solid / liquid separation surface, which is liquid under which matrix is lyophobic.
- the separation surface is then evolutionarily isothermal and reversible depending on the external pressure at which the heterogeneous structure is subjected.
- the document EP 1 250 539 B1 thus illustrates a damper of the type comprising a rod-piston assembly sliding in a cylinder delimiting on either side of the piston a working chamber containing hydraulic fluid, each working chamber communicating permanently with an associated chamber containing a heterogeneous energy absorption-dissipation structure, and further communicating with a common chamber via a system associated with a non-return valve and a choke valve, this common chamber constituting a compensation chamber ensuring the continuity of the hydraulic fluid during the movements of the rod-piston assembly in the cylinder.
- the energy dissipation is effected without using the viscous fluid, for example oil, as soon as the speed of displacement of the piston exceeds a determined critical speed, to switch from a conventional Newtonian regime to a surface regime, using the heterogeneous absorption-energy dissipation structures where the "solid-liquid" interface acts as a working body.
- the viscous fluid for example oil
- the only compensation chamber which is arranged in the central part of the damper, is a chamber with a deformable wall delimited by a flexible envelope, whose arrangement inevitably induces a certain resistance to heat transfer between the working chambers and the outside.
- the two flexible envelopes each housing a heterogeneous energy absorption-dissipation structure constituted by at least one capillary-porous matrix and an associated liquid with respect to which said matrix is lyophobic, are each arranged in a dedicated chamber of the rod-piston double chamber.
- these sealed envelopes are remote from the outer surface of the body of the damper.
- this surface precisely determines the efficiency of the heat exchange between the capillary-porous matrices with the outside, so that we can see a significant increase in the temperature of said matrices in severe operating situations and / or with high velocity peaks of the piston rod.
- an oleopneumatic suspension comprising a tubular body defining a central chamber sliding a piston and two annular chambers surrounding the central chamber.
- the central chamber is filled with oil and the piston is provided with channels allowing the forced passage of the oil from one side to the other of the piston.
- the annular chambers are separated by a deformable wall in two compartments containing for one of the oil and the other air.
- the compartments containing the oil are in communication through forced passage channels with the central chamber each on one side of the piston. It is understood that the annular chambers provided with deformable walls separating the oil from the air provide a suspension function by compression / expansion of the air to form a pneumatic spring.
- the object of the invention is to distinguish itself from the high dissipation damper of the aforementioned type illustrated in the document EP 1 250 539 B1, in order to avoid the limitations and disadvantages described above, while also avoiding the disadvantages hydraulic and hydraulic shock absorbers traditional tires, particularly with regard to the high pressure and the large volume of oil used.
- the invention also aims to design a damper with high dissipative power and substantially oil-free having an optimal behavior in case of hard stresses and / or high speeds of the rod of the damper.
- the invention also aims to design a damper with high dissipative power and practically oil-free, the structure of which avoids any risk or danger during assembly, disassembly, and manipulation of the damper, and to have same time a maximum compactness for transport or storage of the damper.
- a damper of the type comprising a rod-piston assembly sliding in a tubular body and said rod-piston assembly delimiting with the tubular body two working chambers containing hydraulic fluid, each chamber working member permanently communicating with an auxiliary chamber containing a heterogeneous energy absorption-dissipation structure constituted by at least one capillary-porous matrix and an associated liquid with respect to which said matrix is lyophobic, the damper being remarkable in that :
- each of said annular auxiliary chambers housing a flexible envelope enclosing the associated heterogeneous structure
- each of the two working chambers also communicates, via a respective non-return means, with an associated compensation chamber which is arranged in the relevant end of the tubular body, the said compensation chambers ensuring the continuity of the hydraulic fluid during displacements. of the rod-piston assembly in the tubular body.
- the two flexible envelopes each containing an associated heterogeneous structure are close to the wall of the tubular body of the damper, which is very favorable for the efficiency of the heat exchange capillary-porous matrices with the outside.
- the fact of providing two compensation chambers arranged at both ends of the tubular body avoids any negative influence on the heat exchange, and also to reduce the inertia (and therefore increase the speed) of the discharge of the hydraulic fluid in the system "working chamber - clearing chamber".
- the tubular body terminates at each of its two ends by a head which encloses the associated compensation chamber, each compensation chamber being delimited by a deformable flexible wall which is fixed and housed in the corresponding head.
- Each flexible deformable wall may be externally subjected to atmospheric pressure, or alternatively be subjected to a low positive pressure by an associated biasing means integrated into the head concerned.
- the non-return means associated with each compensation chamber is constituted by a valve in the form of a washer with calibrated orifices, which is in abutment against the corresponding head to mask connecting channels formed in said head to connect said chamber of compensation to the associated work room.
- the tubular body comprises a cylinder part and a hollow central rod part, said parts forming between them an annular space in which the rod-piston assembly which is also hollow slides tightly, delimiting one of the two working chambers on the piston side which is turned towards the source of external disturbances, and on the other side a closed annular chamber containing a gaseous fluid.
- the closed annular chamber containing a gaseous fluid to have a bottom consisting of a ring connecting the cylinder part and the hollow central rod part solidarily, or alternatively that this annular chamber has a bottom constituted by an annular shoulder integral with the part cylinder, which is slid through with play by the central hollow stem portion, said hollow central stem portion having an end flange which is sealingly abutting against the aforementioned annular shoulder during operation of the damper, and which can be disengaged from said shoulder to form a vent allowing maximum retraction the rod-piston assembly inside the tubular body for a minimum space requirement of the damper for storing or transporting it.
- the free end of the cylinder part is threaded externally, in order to receive a nut intended to clamp the end flange of the hollow central rod part against the shoulder of the cylinder part, or to release said flange of said shoulder, said nut having a central orifice for the passage of hydraulic fluid during operation of the damper.
- the cylinder portion of the tubular body is constituted by two tubes screwed at one end to a threaded end forming the central portion and at their other end to a threaded head enclosing the associated compensation chamber, and by a sheath portion which is constituted by a tube, single or double, screwed into a bore of the central nozzle.
- a sheath portion which is constituted by a tube, single or double, screwed into a bore of the central nozzle.
- that of the two heads which is traversed by the rod-piston assembly is equipped with the single sealing system of the damper relative to the outside.
- annular grid intended to ensure the positioning and maintenance of the flexible envelope which is housed in the annular auxiliary chamber concerned.
- the aforementioned annular grids have a hollow star shape in their central part.
- the two annular auxiliary chambers communicate with each other by a channel formed in the central part of the tubular body, said channel being equipped with a common choke.
- the hydraulic resistance provided by the antiretour means will then always be greater, in the closed position, than that, adjustable, provided by the common choke.
- the two annular auxiliary chambers do not communicate with each other, but each of said annular auxiliary chambers communicates with the associated compensation chamber via a channel formed in the corresponding end of the annular body, each channel being equipped with its own choke.
- the hydraulic resistance provided by the non-return means will then always be greater, in the closed position, than that, adjustable, provided by each choke.

- FIG. 5 illustrates the damper of FIGS. 2 to 4, in different axial positions of its rod-piston assembly, with in a) a median position, in b) a maximum retraction position of the rod-piston assembly produced by following the opening of the vent, and c) a maximum output position of the rod-piston assembly;
- each annular auxiliary chamber communicates with the associated compensation chamber via a channel equipped with its own choke;
- FIG. 7 is an axial section of a variant of the damper of FIG. 6, in which the deformable flexible wall delimiting each compensation chamber is subjected externally, not as in the preceding variants to atmospheric pressure, but to a low positive pressure;
- FIG. 9 illustrates the star grids for positioning and maintaining the soft envelopes of the damper of Figures 6 and 7.
- FIG. 1 shows a shock absorber with a high dissipative power and practically without oil according to the invention, denoted 1.
- This damper is of the type comprising a rod-piston assembly 2 sliding in a tubular body 3, said rod-piston assembly being adapted to be connected to a source of external disturbances noted SPE (for example a wheel of a vehicle equipped with the damper for its suspension when the wheel is in direct contact with the ground), and said tubular body being adapted to be connected to a structure to protect noted S (for example the body of the motor vehicle thus equipped).
- SPE for example a wheel of a vehicle equipped with the damper for its suspension when the wheel is in direct contact with the ground
- the tubular body 3 comprises a cylindrical portion 4 inside which extends axially, along a longitudinal axis X of the damper, a hollow central rod portion 5 open bottom.
- the ring 6 integrally connecting the cylinder portion 4 and the hollow central rod portion 5 thus forms the bottom of a chamber 10 which is a closed annular chamber containing a gaseous fluid, for example air or nitrogen.
- the rod-piston assembly thus consists of a rod proper 7 and a piston 8 which slides sealingly by means of seals 9 in the annular space delimited between the inner wall of the cylinder part 4 and the wall 5.
- the cylinder portion 4 and the hollow central rod portion 5 form between them an annular space in which the rod-piston assembly, which is also hollow, slides in a sealed manner, delimiting a chamber said working 1 1 A on the side of the piston 8 which is turned towards the source of external disturbances SPE, and on the other side the closed annular chamber 1 0 containing a gaseous fluid.
- the rod-piston assembly 2 delimits, with the tubular body 3, two working chambers 1 1 A, 1 1 B containing hydraulic fluid, each working chamber 1 1 A, 1 1 B permanently communicating with an annex chamber 12A, 12B containing a heterogeneous absorption-energy dissipation structure constituted by at least one capillary-porous matrix 14 and an associated liquid 15 with regard to which said matrix is lyophobic.
- the inner section of the piston rod 2 here plays the role of the piston for the working chamber 1 1 B.
- the two adjoining chambers 12A, 12B are annular chambers placed in the wall of the tubular body 3 on either side of a central portion 28 of said tubular body.
- Each of these annular annular chambers 12A, 12B houses a flexible envelope 13A, 1 3B enclosing the associated heterogeneous structure
- the capillary-porous matrices are shown here by solids 14, the associated liquid, with respect to which said matrices are lyophobic, being noted 15. It may be water, or any other suitable liquid.
- each containing an associated heterogeneous structure 14, 15 are disposed in the vicinity of the outer wall of the tubular body of the damper, which is very favorable in terms of heat exchange with the outside.
- the two annular auxiliary chambers 12A, 12B communicate here with each other through a channel 20 formed in the central portion 28 of the tubular body, extending parallel to the axis X, which channel 20 is equipped with a common choke 21 which provides a adjustable hydraulic resistance.
- each of the two working chambers 1 1 A, 1 1 B delimited by the rod-piston assembly 2 with the tubular body 3 further communicates via a respective non-return means 22A, 22B , with an associated compensation chamber 17A, 17B which is arranged in the end of the tubular body 3.
- the tubular body 3 ends at each of its two ends by a head 16A, 16B which encloses the chamber of associated compensation 17A, 17B, each compensation chamber being delimited by a deformable flexible wall 18A, 18B which is fixed and housed in the corresponding head 16A, 16B, said flexible deformable wall 18A, 18B being in this case subject to pressure outside atmospheric.
- each deformable flexible wall 18A, 18B is externally subjected to a low positive pressure by an associated biasing means 30A, 30B integrated in the relevant head 16A, 16B.
- the two compensation chambers 17A, 17B are intended to ensure the continuity of the hydraulic fluid during the displacement of the rod-piston assembly 2 in the tubular body 3.
- the single and central clearing house of the EP 1 250 539 B1 above is now replaced by two compensation chambers disposed at both ends of the tubular body, so that their presence is de facto without influence on the heat exchange during operation of the damper.
- the flexible envelopes 13A, 13B consist of a non-penetrable material for the hydraulic fluid as has already been provided in the context of the high dissipation damper of EP-1 250 439 B1 cited above.
- Each flexible envelope thus encloses the capillary-porous matrix or matrices 14 which bathe in an associated functional liquid (working liquid), which may be, for example, water.
- working liquid which may be, for example, water.
- the other chambers of the damper, naturally outside the annular chamber 10 above which contains a gas, are then occupied by a hydraulic fluid such as oil (technological liquid).
- the tubular body 3 ends at each of its two ends by a head 16A, 16B, here unitary with the remainder of the cylindrical portion 4, which encloses the associated compensation chamber 17A, 1 7B.
- the non-return means 22A, 22B associated with each compensation chamber 17A, 17B is in this case constituted by a washer-shaped valve 23A, 23B with calibrated orifices 24A, 24B, which bears against the corresponding head 16A , 16B for masking connecting channels 25A, 25B formed in said head and connecting each compensation chamber 17A, 17B to the associated working chamber 1 1 A, 1 1 B.
- the calibrated orifices 24A, 24B of each washer 23A, 23B constituting the nonreturn means 22A, 22B will then be dimensioned so that the hydraulic resistance they provide is always greater, in the closed position, than that, adjustable, provided by the common choke 21 .
- 16A of the two heads which is traversed by the rod-piston assembly 2 is equipped with the single sealing system 19 of the damper relative to the outside, which is a very important advantage over to previous achievements that required a double system of sealing the damper with respect to the outside.
- the arrows 101 and 102 have been noted in FIG. 1 to symbolize the directions respectively of exit and retraction of the rod-piston assembly 2.
- the shock absorber is represented with its rod-piston assembly in the median position, so that the available output stroke, denoted C1, is substantially identical to the available retraction stroke, denoted C2.
- the residual stroke, denoted C0 corresponds to the maximum depression of the piston, with the volume of gas contained in the annular chamber 10 which is compressed to the maximum, without the gas being able to escape.
- FIGS. 2 to 4 illustrate a variant of the damper which has just been described with reference to FIG. 1, this variant presenting a structure whose manufacture and assembly are largely simplified, as will be apparent from the comments who will follow.
- the cylinder portion 4 of the tubular body 3 is then constituted by two tubes 4A, 4B which are screwed at one end to a threaded end forming the central portion 28, and at their other end to a threaded head 16A, 16B enclosing the associated compensation chamber 17A, 17B.
- the tubular body 3 is also constituted by a sheath portion 4C which is constituted by a single or double tube (here simple) which is in this case screwed into a bore of the central nozzle 28.
- the unitary component constituting the Cylinder part 4 of the tubular body for the damper of FIG. 1 is replaced by two tubes 4A, 4B, two heads 16A, 16B, a central end 28, and here a single tube 4C.
- the central end 28, now threaded at its two ends has the channel 20 providing the communication between the two tubular adjoining chambers 12A, 12B, and equipped with the associated common choke 21.
- the closed annular chamber 10 enclosing a gaseous fluid has a bottom 6 'which is now constituted by an annular shoulder 6.1 integral with the sleeve portion 4C of the cylinder portion 4 of the tubular body 3.
- This annular shoulder 6.1 is slidably traversed with play (clearance 6.2) by the hollow central rod portion 5, said hollow central rod portion 5 having an end flange 6.3 equipped seals 6.5 and 6.6 on both circular faces.
- the free end of the sleeve portion 4C of the cylinder portion 4 is threaded externally to receive a nut 30 for clamping the end flange 6.3 of the hollow central rod portion 5 against the shoulder 6.1 of the sleeve portion 4C, or to release said flange 6.3 from said shoulder 6.1.
- the end flange 6.3 can be tightly pressed against the shoulder 6.1, which corresponds to the operating position of the damper, but may also be disengaged (position shown in Figure 4) to form a vent allowing maximum retraction of the rod-piston assembly 2 inside the tubular body 3 for the purpose of a minimum size of the damper for storing or transporting it.
- This maximum retraction position of the piston rod is that illustrated in Figures 3 and 4, and it is understood that the gas contained in the annular chamber 10 can then escape, when the nut 30 is slightly unscrewed, by the clearance clearance 6.2 above and the clearance clearance noted 6.4 delimited by the periphery of the flange 6.3, to exit through a central hole 31 of the nut 30, as shown schematically by the arrows 200 in Figure 4.
- the damper is then ultra-compact. Once this position is reached, it is sufficient for the operator to screw the nut 30 to recreate the seal of the bottom 6 '.
- the operator can easily, the nut 30 being screwed back, pull the rod to a median position thereof, thereby forming a small depression in the chamber 10 which was initially at atmospheric pressure.
- the central orifice 31 of the nut 30 extends the central channel noted 40 of the central rod portion 5 to allow the passage of fluid during movement of the piston rod.
- the nut 30 When one wants to store or transport the damper, the nut 30 is unscrewed, and the piston rod can be pushed to the maximum to have an ultra-compact damper to store or transport.
- the pressure in the chamber 10 then remains equal to the atmospheric pressure, which therefore excludes any danger during handling of the damper.
- FIG. 5 illustrates in a) the state of the abovementioned shock absorber in the median position of the piston rod (a slight depression reigns then in the chamber 10), in b) in the maximum retracted position of said piston rod , on the whole of the race C2, with the residual race C0 which is maintained insofar as it is in the operating state of the damper (the pressure in the chamber 10 is then equal to the atmospheric pressure), and finally in c) in the maximum output position of the piston rod on the the entire stroke C1 (a depression higher than a) then reigns in the chamber 10).
- the piston 9 of the rod-piston assembly 2 occupies a neutral position (the displacement of the rod 7, denoted ⁇ X (t) in FIG. 1, is zero) such as that illustrated in the figures 1, 2 and 5 a), this thanks to the balance between the weight of the motor vehicle and the force of the return spring of the suspension (not shown here).
- the hydraulic pressures in the working chambers 1 1 A, 1 1 B, as well as in the internal volume of the central channel 40 are then everywhere the same, and are equal to the atmospheric pressure due to the presence of the calibrated orifices 24A, 24B of the check valves 23A, 23B, and also here of the passage channel 20 equipped with the choke 21.
- the capillary-porous matrices 14 contained in the flexible envelopes 13A, 13B and immersed in the functional liquid 15, have interior spaces which are then empty. It is easy to understand that a small excess pressure in the annular chamber containing gas 10 has no influence on the value of the pressure prevailing in the hydraulic pool of the damper, nor on the behavior of the heterogeneous structures 14, 15 contained in the two flexible envelopes 13A, 13B.
- the Newtonian regime corresponds to a dissipation of the mechanical energy which is that commonly encountered in the traditional hydraulic or oleo-pneumatic dampers, with a rolling of the viscous liquid through calibrated orifices which causes the transformation of the energy of the friction into heat, with the release of it to the outside.
- the check valve 23B remains closed, and the resistor (adjustable) of the choke 21 then ensures the quiet passage of the liquid, the working chamber 1 B and the associated annular chamber 12B associated with the working chamber 1 1A and associated annular chamber 12A.
- the liquid then progressively fills the annular space adjacent to the piston 8, and, in the event of a volume deficit, the non-return valve 23A opens at atmospheric pressure, and the necessary quantity of the liquid in the compensation chamber 17A reaches the working chamber 1 1A to ensure the continuity of the fluid in the hydraulic pool of the damper.
- the ordinary backflow between the working chambers and their respective respective annular chamber through the channel 20, with the control of the choke 21, provides the function of mechanical energy dissipation. If the rod moves in the direction of the arrow 101, we find exactly the same symmetrical operation, with the letters A which are transformed into B, and vice versa.
- the pressure inside the annular auxiliary chambers 12A, 12B housing the flexible envelopes 13A, 13B remains moderate, and in any case insufficient to return the functional liquid into the porous space of the matrices of the heterogeneous structure, this to the extent that said pressure is less than the Laplace capillary pressure which corresponds to the pressure P, n t of the intrusion of the functional liquid in the porous space (of volume V pore s).
- the volume of the flexible envelopes 13A, 13B remains almost invariable, which means that the heterogeneous structures 14, 15 do not participate in the energy dissipation during this Newtonian regime.
- a critical value X cr for example a value which is of the order of 0.1 meters per second for passenger cars, then the hydraulic resistance provided by the choke 21 increases considerably, and induces a strong increase in the pressure in one of the annular annular chambers 12A or 12B, until reaching the limit value of the Laplace capillary pressure.
- the rapid displacement of the rod-piston assembly 2 causes the intrusion of the functional liquid into the interior space of the matrices of the heterogeneous structure of one of the flexible envelopes (that concerned by the increase in pressure) , so that the volume of the envelope concerned decreases considerably, more precisely the value V por es-
- the volume of technological fluid (oil) driven from the central channel 40 under high pressure can not flow through the choke 21 in the secondary chamber annular 12A because of the great resistance of this choke.
- the volume expelled is forced to compress the flexible concerned envelope 13B, and Sun inution volume AV of this envelope will be equal to a value equivalent to the volume of pores filled es por V of the or matrices contained in inside this flexible envelope 13B.
- the pressure exerted in the annular auxiliary chamber 12B then exceeds the value of the Laplace capillary pressure (intrusion pressure P in t), which produces the forced intrusion of the functional liquid into the porous matrix or matrices. concerned.
- the piston 8 flushes the liquid on the side of the working chamber 1 1A and the associated annular associated chamber 12A, which produces a compression of the flexible envelope 13A and a forced intrusion of the functional liquid in the porous space of the matrix of the heterogeneous structure 14, 15 associated.
- a depression occurs in the other annular annular chamber 12B, which initiates the spontaneous expulsion of the functional liquid out of the pores of the porous matrix 14 of the heterogeneous structure accommodated in the flexible envelope 13B.
- the opening of the nonreturn valve 23B again guarantees the continuity of the fluid in the annular auxiliary chamber 12B through the possible arrival of additional technological liquid from the associated compensation chamber 17B.
- a sleeve portion 4C With its bottom 6 'equipped with a nut 30 associated with a vent system.
- the sleeve portion 4C is either inserted by force into the central portion 28 of the body portion which is unitary 4 (variant of FIG. 6), or, as previously screwed into a boring of the central portion 28 of the body portion which is unitary 4 (variant of Figure 7), with a central seal 28 'sealing.
- the two annular auxiliary chambers 12A, 12B do not communicate with each other, but each of these chambers communicates with the associated compensation chamber 17A, 17B via a channel 20A, 20B formed in the corresponding head 16A, 16B of the tubular bodies, each channel 20A, 20B being further equipped with its own choke 21 A, 21 B.
- the non-return means 22A, 22B are then slightly modified, as illustrated in Figure 8 which shows a non-return valve 23A profile (a)) and face (in b)).
- the hydraulic resistance provided by the non-return means 22A, 22B must again always remain larger, in the closed position, than the adjustable one provided by each choke 21 A, 21 B.
- FIG. 9 illustrates, in isolation, the positioning and holding grids of the flexible envelopes 13A, 13B enclosing the heterogeneous structures of the damper.
- the damper equipped with the internal arrangement of vent to be ultra-compact there are a) gate 26A which is normally threaded on the free end of the central rod portion 5, and in b) the gate 26B which is normally here threaded on the nut 30, these grids 26A, 26B having a star shape recessed circularly in their central portion.
- the structure of the variant of FIG. 6 may also be modified by providing that the flexible wall 18B of the compensation chamber 17B (which is on the side of the structure to be protected) is subjected externally, not as hitherto at atmospheric pressure, but at a low positive pressure (for example 0.5 to 1, 0 bar), generated by a mechanical or pneumatic spring, and to do the same for the other flexible wall 18A with a slightly higher pressure (for example 0.5 to 1 bar), which makes it possible to better guarantee the continuity of the fluid and the speed of the response.
- a low positive pressure for example 0.5 to 1, 0 bar
- a mechanical or pneumatic spring generated by a mechanical or pneumatic spring
- FIG. 7 thus illustrates biasing means 30A
- FIGS. 6 and 7 are particularly advantageous for operation of the damper in a substantially vertical position, since it prevents the backflow of liquid from one compensation chamber to the other under the effect of gravity ( repression that can be met against with the variants of Figures 1 to 5).
- the presence of the two separate throttles 21A, 21B allows a fine adjustment ensuring the constancy of the asymmetry of the characteristic of the damper, which adjustment is made once and for all during the initial assembly of the damper. For this setting, it is always arranged for the rebound force of the damper is set to a higher value than the force of shocks.
- the invention can be applied to fields other than suspensions of motor vehicles, for example earthquake-resistant systems, supports for gas pipes, petroleum, steam, or the supports of public works, as well as anti-vibration pads, with the advantages noted above of high efficiency, combined with great power dissipative and at a maximum compactness of the devices and dissipation systems.
- the rod-piston assembly 2 can be adapted to be connected to the source of external disturbances SPE or to the structure to be protected S, and the tubular body can be adapted to be connected to the structure to be protected S or to the source of disturbances. external SPE.
