Description
本願は、2018年12月27日に、日本に出願された特願2018-245972号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
本発明に係る第1実施形態の緩衝器について、図1~図6を参照しつつ以下に説明する。
シリンダ12は、そのシリンダ本体41のボディ42側が外筒14の突出部23の内側に嵌合する。ボディ42は、外筒14の底部22の当接部31に当接する。
通路75および図示略の通路は、第1室68と第2室69とを連通可能となっている。緩衝器10は、ピストン65に当接することで通路75を閉塞可能な円環状のディスクバルブ77を、ピストン65の軸方向の底部22とは反対側に有している。また、緩衝器10は、ピストン65に当接することで図示略の通路を閉塞可能な円環状のディスクバルブ78を、ピストン65の軸方向の底部22側に有している。
言い換えれば、複数の嵌合部101は、それぞれの内端面101aが側壁部21の中心軸線から等距離の位置に配置されている。このテーパ面は、底部22側ほど側壁部21の中心軸線に近づくように傾斜している。言い換えれば、このテーパ面は、底部22側ほど小径となる円錐面となっている。なお、シリンダ12と嵌合部101との間は、シリンダ12と突出部23の位置の公差範囲内の隙間があってもよい。つまり、シリンダ12と嵌合部101との嵌めあいは、しまり嵌めに限らず、隙間嵌めでもよい。ここで、シリンダ12と突出部23の位置の公差範囲内とは、シリンダ12が外筒14に対し、調心され、径方向に位置決めされることが可能な範囲である。
よって、外筒14に加締部55を形成することが物理的に困難になる。
しかしながら、このように突出部を形成すると、外筒への組み付け時にシリンダが突出部の底部とは反対側に当接して停止してしまうことがある。この状態のまま外筒を加締めると、シリンダの外筒への組み付け状態が不良になってしまう。
よって、外筒14に加締部55を形成することが物理的に困難になる。したがって、シリンダ12、ロッドガイド52およびシール部材53の外筒14への組み付け不良を抑制することができる。
次に、第2実施形態を主に図7~図9に基づいて第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
次に、第3実施形態を主に図10,図11に基づいて第1実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第1実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
次に、第4実施形態を主に図12,図13に基づいて第3実施形態との相違部分を中心に説明する。なお、第3実施形態と共通する部位については、同一称呼、同一の符号で表す。
