Abstract
Description
本願は、2020年7月29日に、日本に出願された特願2020-128096号に基づき優先権を主張し、その内容をここに援用する。
第1実施形態を図1~図4に基づいて説明する。なお、以下においては、説明の便宜上、図1~図3,図5~図10における上側を「上」とし、図1~図3,図5~図10における下側を「下」として説明する。
第1実施形態の緩衝器1は、鉄道車両や二輪、四輪等の自動車のサスペンション装置に用いられる緩衝器である。具体的には四輪自動車のサスペンション装置に用いられる緩衝器である。図1に示すように、緩衝器1は、円筒状の内筒2と、内筒2よりも大径で内筒2の径方向外側に設けられる有底筒状の外筒3とを有するシリンダ4を備えた複筒式の緩衝器である。外筒3と内筒2との間は、リザーバ室5となっている。
これとは逆に、シリンダ4側が車体により支持され、ピストンロッド25が車輪側に連結されるようにしても良い。
通路孔301内は連通路302となっている。バネ当接ディスク104は、キャップ部材本体95とでキャップ部材305を構成している。キャップ部材本体95の底部122がキャップ部材305の一方の底部を構成している。バネ当接ディスク104はキャップ部材305の他方の底部を構成している。
通路孔206は、弁座部材109の中心軸線に平行な直線状の孔である。すべての通路凹部205の底面に通路孔206が形成されている。
通路孔216は、弁座部材109の中心軸線に平行な直線状の孔である。すべての通路凹部215の底面に通路孔216が形成されている。
以上のようにして、可撓ディスク100の変形が上室連通室147および下室連通室149の油液Lによって阻害されることを抑制する。
図2に示すように、第1減衰力発生機構41のメインバルブ91は、第2減衰力発生機構183のサブバルブ110よりも剛性が高く開弁圧が高い。よって、伸び行程において、ピストン速度が所定値よりも低速の極微低速領域では第1減衰力発生機構41は閉弁した状態で第2減衰力発生機構183が開弁する。また、ピストン速度がこの所定値以上の通常速度領域では、第1減衰力発生機構41および第2減衰力発生機構183が共に開弁する。サブバルブ110は、ピストン速度が極微低速の領域で開弁して減衰力を発生させる極微低速バルブである。
これにより、ピストン速度が第2所定値よりも低速の極微低速領域でも、バルブ特性(減衰力がピストン速度にほぼ比例する特性)の減衰力が得られる。
このため、可撓ディスク100の変形は小さい。よって、可撓ディスク100の変形は小さく、下室体積可変機構185は、可撓ディスク100の撓み量で、下室連通室149への油液Lの流入のボリュームを吸収できることになって、下室連通室149の昇圧が小さくなる。このため、極微低速減衰力の立ち上がり時には、あたかも、可撓ディスク100がなく、下室連通室149が皿バネ117の連通路425およびバネ当接ディスク104の連通路302で上室22に常時連通する状態、すなわち第2減衰力発生機構173がない構造と同じ状態にすることが可能となる。
このように、皿バネ116,117は、内周端部から外周端部までの間に穴部415を有する。このため、上室連通室147の上室22への連通および下室連通室149の下室23への連通を確保することができる。その上で、皿バネ116,117は、内周端部がピストンロッド25を挿入可能に形成されている。このため、皿バネ116,117のピストンロッド25への組み付け性を向上させることができる。したがって、皿バネ116,117を自動機でピストンロッド25に組み付けることができる。これにより、人手を不要とし、また、組付時間を短縮できるため、組付コストを低減することができる。

上記した皿バネ116,117,116B,117Bの2本の支持部404を、図12に示す変形例2の皿バネ116Gの支持部404Gのように変更することが可能である。皿バネ116Gは、内側円環部401および中間円環部402を繋ぐ1つの支持部404Gを有している。支持部404Gは、内側円環部401および中間円環部402と同一平面に配置されている。皿バネ116Gは、外径側が外側円錐状部403であり、内径側が外側円錐状部403よりも平面に近い、内側円環部401と中間円環部402と1つの支持部404Gとを有する内側平面状部414G(平面状部)である。
