[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems,
The present invention provides a vehicle height adjusting unit in which a damper is provided with a vehicle height adjusting unit in which a pressure medium that changes gas-liquid is enclosed, the pressure medium is heated and vaporized, and the damper is operated toward the extension side by the vapor pressure of the pressure medium. The damper device with a function is provided with a cooling means including a jacket portion formed in the vehicle height adjusting portion, a reserve tank for storing the cooling liquid, and a pump for circulating the cooling liquid between the jacket portion and the reserve tank.

When the pump is operated, the cooling liquid from the reserve tank flows into the jacket, the pressure medium sealed in the vehicle height adjusting section is cooled and condensed, and the vapor pressure of the pressure medium decreases. Thus, by operating the pump when the outside air temperature becomes high, it is possible to prevent the vehicle height from increasing at a high temperature.

By the way, if the pump and the reserve tank are provided on the vehicle body side, it is necessary to remove the pipe between the jacket portion and the pump and the reserve tank from the jacket portion when the damper is attached and detached during maintenance. Takes time and maintenance becomes worse. On the other hand, by connecting the outlet of the reserve tank coolant directly to the suction port of the pump, configure the pump and the reserve tank as a single mechanically connected unit, and install this unit in the damper. For example, the damper can be attached and detached without removing the pipes, the maintainability is improved, and further, the pump and the reserve tank do not need to be separately attached to the damper, and the damper assemblability is also improved.

Further, the reserve tank is constructed in an inner-outer double structure consisting of an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, and the cooling liquid returned from the jacket portion is transferred to the inner space via the outer peripheral space between the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder. If it is configured to flow into the inner peripheral space of the cylinder, and if the heat radiating fins are provided so as to project from the outer peripheral surface of the outer cylinder, the cooling liquid heated by heat exchange in the jacket will flow from the heat radiating fins while flowing through the outer peripheral space. Cooled by heat dissipation, the reserve tank functions as heat exchange for cooling the cooling liquid. Thus, the cooling efficiency of the pressure medium can be improved without providing a special heat exchanger for cooling.

A well-known plug type heater 16 used as a glow plug of a diesel engine and a temperature sensor 17 are provided at the bottom of the pressure chamber 13. When the heater 16 is energized, the liquid-phase refrigerant in the pressure chamber 13 is heated and vaporized, the vapor pressure in the pressure chamber 13 rises, and the damper rod 2 is pushed down by the vapor pressure with respect to the damper body 1 to increase the vehicle height. Goes up. Here, a certain correlation is established between the vapor pressure of the pressure medium and the temperature of the pressure medium in the pressure chamber 13, and the temperature of the pressure medium is a vehicle height that changes according to the vapor pressure of the pressure medium. It is a parameter to represent. Therefore, the signal from the temperature sensor 17 and the signal from the vehicle height setting device 19 are input to a controller 18 which is an on-vehicle computer that controls the energization of the heater 16, and the vehicle height set by the vehicle height setting device 19 is set. The temperature of the corresponding pressure medium is compared with the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 17, and the energization to the heater 16 is feedback-controlled so that the difference between the two is zero.

By the way, when the outside air temperature rises, the pressure chamber 1
The vapor pressure of the pressure medium in 3 becomes high, and the vehicle height becomes high. Therefore, a jacket portion 20 is formed in the vehicle height adjusting portion 11, a reserve tank 21 for storing a cooling liquid such as water and a pump 22 are provided, and the cooling liquid is pumped by the pump 22 between the jacket portion 20 and the reserve tank 21. It constitutes a cooling means for circulating the pressure medium to cool the pressure medium. The pump 22 is controlled by the controller 18, and operates when the temperature detected by the temperature sensor 17 is higher than the temperature of the pressure medium corresponding to the vehicle height set by the vehicle height setter 19. By doing so, the pressure medium is cooled and the vapor pressure is lowered to maintain the vehicle height at the set height.
