Abstract

PURPOSE:To automatically adjust damping force so as to be able to produce the damping force stable to temperature change by a method wherein magnetic fluid, the viscosity of which is changed by magnetic force, is used as buffer medium and the viscosity of said magnetic fluid is changed electrically. CONSTITUTION:A hollow piston rod 3, a piston 2 with oil passages, and a fixed rod 4, at the root of which an exciting coil 6 is wound, are provided in a cylinder 1, within which magnetic fluid is sealed. The cylinder 1, the piston 2 and the fixed rod 4 form a magnetic circuit 7. The damping force is automatically regulated by the change of the viscosity of the magnetic fluid passing through the orifice 5 formed between the fixed rod 4 and the hollow rod 3 due to the temperature-change dependent change of the amount of electric current passing through the exciting coil 6 and an element 8, the resistance of which lowers itself in proportion to the rise of its temperature, connected with each other in series.

However, in conventional devices of this type, as the oil temperature rises, the viscosity of the oil decreases, and the damping force decreases accordingly, making it impossible to generate a stable damping force, resulting in insufficient buffering capacity. In some cases.

Now, when the excitation coil (6) is energized, the cylinder (1)
, a magnetic circuit (
A force is created which changes the viscosity of the magnetic fluid passing through the orifice (5). This change in viscosity causes orifice 15
), the damping force changes as the flow resistance of the magnetic fluid changes. The viscosity of the magnetic fluid is determined by the excitation coil (6)
It can be arbitrarily changed depending on the magnitude of the current applied to. That is, when the current flowing through the exciting coil (6) is large, the viscosity of the magnetic fluid increases, and when the exciting current is small, the viscosity of the magnetic fluid decreases. Therefore, if a large current is passed through the excitation coil (6), the viscosity of the magnetic fluid increases and the flow resistance of the magnetic fluid passing through the orifice (5) increases, so a large damping force can be obtained, and conversely, the excitation coil ( 6), the viscosity of the magnetic fluid becomes smaller and the flow resistance of the magnetic fluid passing through the orifice (5) decreases, resulting in a smaller damping force.8 Adjustment of this damping force is achieved by the excitation coil. (6) This can be done by a thermistor inserted in the middle of the power supply circuit.In other words, the I-mistor detects the oil temperature and functions to lower the resistance when the oil temperature rises. be.
