Along with high speed development and people's living standard of Chinese national economy improves constantly, effectively advanced the automotive industry fast development, just present, the means of transportation that past becomes people's daily life gradually as the car and the microbus of high-grade luxury goods, people pursue the travelling comfort of taking more when going on a journey by bus.In the vehicle driving way, wheel will rise and fall with the road surface, vehicle frame be produced impact every now and then, and this impact energy mainly is to be absorbed by the elastic element in the automobile suspension system, and the vibration of vehicle frame is to be decayed by vibration damper.So-called suspension system is exactly the carrying power transmission damping device that is connected between the upper and lower swing arm of automobile, the technical performance of suspension directly influences the riding comfort of automobile and handles stationarity, being an important parameter weighing the automotive engineering quality index, also is the important evidence that the Consumer chooses vehicle.Up to now, the elastic element that uses in existing automobile suspension system has several types such as helical spring, hydro-pneumatic spring and pneumatic spring, simple in structure, advantages of cheap price that helical spring has, but its elasticity coefficient is fixed, its rigidity does not change with road conditions complicated and changeable, damping effect is relatively poor, needs configuration vibration damper in addition in actual use.Active suspensions such as hydro-pneumatic spring and pneumatic spring vibration damper assembly are guaranteeing to possess good control stability under the prerequisite of riding comfort, but it must cooperate with computer controlled system and could change spring rate and damping damping constant at regular time and quantity with road condition change, owing to its complex structure, maintenance difficult, cost an arm and a leg, only limitation being used on the comparatively high-grade vehicle at present.Chinese patent CN2700639Y discloses the patented technology that a kind of name is called " the pneumatic spring vibration damper that becomes rigidity and change damping automatically ", its feature is: have the pneumatic spring of air valve ASSY and design to have the vibration damper of orifice valve assembly integrated design, the main gas tank of the pneumatic spring of being separated by piston and the lower oil chamber of fluid vibration damper are separated type coenosarc structure, vehicle is when wheel rise and fall to drive piston and moves up and down with the road surface under steam, it can regulate the rigidity of variation pneumatic spring automatically and the damping of fluid vibration damper adapts to road conditions, has improved the travelling comfort and the stationarity of automobile running.But this " becoming the pneumatic spring vibration damper of rigidity and change damping automatically " exists the technical problem of " adjusting changes rigidity and damping causes gas leakage because piston frequently moves back and forth " in actual use, still is difficult to thorough solution so far.
Summary of the invention:
The present invention proposes on the prior art basis that a kind of structure is very simple and direct, low cost of manufacture, volume compact space flexible arrangement, can be applicable to the intelligent gas spring that various vehicles assemblings are used.It is achieved by the following technical solution: it is that inner cylinder body is installed in housing, interior cylinder cap is installed on inner cylinder body, the piston separation inner cylinder body that is fitted in the inner cylinder body is main gas tank and accessory air-space, do the keying air flue that is communicated with main gas tank in the interior cylinder cover wall, on the wall of inner cylinder body, do the through hole that is communicated with accessory air-space, it is characterized in that: the keying air flue place at interior cylinder cap is fitted with the stroke valve, on piston, do the damped cylinder that adapts with the stroke valve, in the damped cylinder of piston, fill fluid, the keying air flue that is provided with in interior cylinder cap is controlled its unlatching by the stroke valve or is closed, the screw rod that is useful on fixedly connected vehicle frame top link is done at upper end cap top at housing, is fitted with on the piston rod of piston to be used for fixing the coupling that connects swing arm under the wheel.When the automobile of the intelligent gas spring that the present invention's proposition is installed travels on the road surface of fluctuating, wheel will move along inner cylinder body is upper and lower by the piston rod drive piston that is connected in down swing arm along with the road surface rises and falls, and show as the compression or the elongation of intelligent gas spring.When the upper and lower mobile range of piston less, in being installed on the stroke valve of cylinder cap do not enter in the damped cylinder of piston that section stroke we cry and be soft stroke, when the upper and lower mobile range of piston bigger, the stroke valve enter in the damped cylinder of piston that section stroke we cry and be hard stroke.It is work like this: travel on automobile is rising and falling less road surface, wheel is less with the amplitude that road surface fluctuating drive piston moves up and down, the stroke valve does not enter in the damped cylinder of piston, be compression and when elongation of intelligent gas spring in soft stroke: the stroke valve is in opens the opening state that opens and closes air flue, at this moment main gas tank and accessory air-space are communicating state with the compression to piston of the gas fellowship of larger volume, and on the piston, the lower end surface is subjected to rightabout gas pressure in main gas tank and the accessory air-space respectively, the useful area of the actual pressurized of piston only is the area of section of piston rod, that is to say compression or when elongation of intelligent gas spring in soft stroke, its rigidity is very little, shows as to satisfy well to have good riding comfort when automobile is crossed middle-size and small-size obstacle with middle low speed; When automobile drives towards when crossing big obstacle or falling into big pit downwards in that the road surface of big rise and fall is up, wheel rise to drive amplitude that piston moves up when big with respect to vehicle frame, the stroke valve enters the interior process of damped cylinder of piston, be the compression of intelligent gas spring in hard stroke: the pressure that the spool of stroke valve is subjected to air gas medium in the damped cylinder moves up, the stroke valve will cut out blocking-up immediately and open and close air flue, in order to narrate conveniently, we are called the pressurized gas in the main gas tank elastic force of main spring to the active force of piston upper-end surface, the elastic force that pressurized gas in the accessory air-space is called auxiliary spring to the active force of piston lower surface, when the stroke valve cuts out blocking-up keying air flue, have only the compression of the gas participation of smaller size smaller in the main gas tank to the piston upper-end surface, the elastic force of main spring will be with moving on the piston and increase rapidly, simultaneously the elastic force of auxiliary spring also will be with moving on the piston and reduce, that is to say compressing section at hard stroke, because main spring and auxiliary spring interact together, the rigidity of intelligent gas spring will automatically increase rapidly with the increase of compression stroke, the severe impact of being come by the wheel transmission when showing as intelligent gas spring and can bear and resist reposefully automobile and cross big obstacle or fall into big pit with middle low speed; After automobile is just being crossed big obstacle and pit, wheel drives piston with respect to vehicle frame decline and moves down, the process that the stroke valve withdraws from the damped cylinder of piston, it is the elongation of intelligent gas spring in hard stroke: intelligent gas spring changes elongation into by compression in hard stroke moment, the pressure of air gas medium reduces in the damped cylinder, the spool of stroke valve will move down fast, the stroke valve is opened the keying air flue, at this moment the pressure in the main gas tank reduces significantly, the elastic force and the rigidity of intelligent gas spring also reduce rapidly, show as that automobile has just cleared the jumps or pit after the vehicle frame acceleration that makes progress little, and after can avoiding wheel to clear the jumps liftoff trend is arranged, guarantee that automobile has the stationarity of good riding comfort and manipulation.
The present invention also has following technical characteristics:
In accessory air-space, fill fluid, can guarantee that piston type frequently reciprocating and stroke valve all have good lubrication state when entering or withdraw from damped cylinder, spool can be moved to quick and stable, can also stop the pressurized gas in the accessory air-space to leak effectively, improve to regulate sensitivity, validity and the reliability of intelligent gas spring rigidity, further improve the riding comfort in the automobile running way and the stationarity of manipulation.
On housing, done the pressure regulation pore, aiming to connect to be equipped with used by the air inlet-outlet pipe of electromagnetic valve, can be by the electrical signal of executive circuit according to the overall height sensor acquisition, the control electromagnetic valve action is carried out aerating or exhaust to intelligent gas spring, can regulate the road clearance of automotive body easily, help by various roadblock things, and can on good road surface, run at high speed the time, turn down vehicle body easily, can reduce windage, shorten the soft stroke of intelligent gas spring, guarantee that automobile has good riding comfort and control stability in the way of running at high speed.
Be fitted with crashproof blob of viscose in the lower end of housing, can effectively prevent to cause down swing arm and lower end cap rigid collision because of wheel meets with large impact, and can slow down effectively just in case intelligent gas spring damages generation leakage release of pressure, vehicle frame stays the rigidity contact-impact that is caused fast.
On the spool of stroke valve, be fitted with spring, can make the valve core reset of stroke valve reliable rapidly, can improve the sensitive validity and the reliability of regulating intelligent gas spring rigidity effectively, further improve the riding comfort in the automobile running way and the stationarity of manipulation.
Outstanding substantive distinguishing features and remarkable progress of the present invention is: cover at inner casing the stroke valve that the damped cylinder with piston adapts is installed, the stroke valve can be automatically along with the keying air flue that is communicated with main gas tank and accessory air-space is in time opened or closed to road condition change, in time change the gas volume that participates in Piston Compression, thereby realize automatically along with the purpose that the rigidity that changes intelligent gas spring adapts to road condition change is accurately regulated in the fluctuating on road surface.Its outstanding advantage shows: when automobile in the process of moving, the fluctuations and the accurately and timely automatic rigidity of regulating intelligent gas spring of the various complex road surfaces of perception adapt to road condition change delicately for it, it has tangible intelligent control characteristic, its damping performance is very superior, it is distinctive follow automatically the road surface rise and fall the good damping performance of promptly and accurately regulating its rigidity reliably surmounted existing vibration damper institute greatly can role, need not to dispose again in addition dampening arrangement when as installed is used on automobile, can guarantee that also automobile has splendid riding comfort and good control stability.
