Abstract

PURPOSE:To apply a braking force to the motion of an object to reduce the generation of noise, which is appropriate to external force, by absorbing in discharging air through restriction orifices formed in a cylinder in accordance with the extension and retraction of a piston. CONSTITUTION:An adjusting space 10a is defined between an actuating piston 7 and an adjusting piston 8 coupled to a return spring 9, which are closely fitted in a cylinder 3 on one and the other end sides thereof, respectively. The cylinder 3 is formed therein with a first small hole 6a at a position where it is closed by the adjusting piston 8 and second and third holes 6b, 6c in the section corresponding to the adjusting space 10a. Upon extension or retraction of the actuating piston 7, the outside air and the adjusting space are communicat ed together through the small holes 6b, 6c to absorb or discharge air, and there- fore, a fluid resistance may be obtained, which offers a braking force. Further, when external force becomes larger, the adjusting piston 8 is displaced to decrease or increase the number of the small holes for communication, greately, thereby it is possible to obtain a braking force appropriate to the external force.

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] When a box for storing articles, such as a glove box of a car, opens and closes, the present invention always provides an appropriate method for the opening and closing operations. The braking force is adjusted individually so that the desired slow opening and opening at an appropriate speed can be achieved.
This invention relates to a shock absorber.

As is known, if no braking force is applied to the glove box or the like when the glove box is opened, then
Particularly when a large number of items are placed in the box, the stopper member and the receiver member will strongly collide with each other at the limit of opening, resulting in a large amount of noise.

Therefore, in order to suppress the noise generated by the rapid opening as described above, a braking force is already applied to the opening of the box, so that the opening is performed more slowly than this, and when the closing operation is performed, the braking force is applied to the opening of the box. A shock absorbing device has already been proposed which is designed to provide a small amount of resistance without applying such a large braking force, so that the operation can be performed appropriately quickly.

As shown in Figure 3, the above device (Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 59-27558) has one end of a cylinder a through which a vent hole is penetrated, and an operating piston C fitted inside the cylinder a so as to be able to move forward and backward. , are connected to desired members, respectively, and when the members are opened and the actuating piston C moves in the direction of extension of arrow A as shown in FIG. The seal peripheral edge d' of the elastic valve body d comes into strong (pressure) contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder a, thereby increasing the braking force against the movement of the actuating piston C. When the elastic valve body d is moved in the contraction direction of arrow A' by the closing operation of the required member as shown in bl, the diameter of the elastic valve body d is reduced and a gap is created between the seal periphery d and the cylinder a. The resistance to the movement of the working piston C is weakened by this, and the piston C is configured to move quickly.

By doing so, we are trying to eliminate problems such as when the elastic valve body d and the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder a stick together due to a valve comb or the like after a long period of non-use, resulting in the inability to start.

However, when using the above-mentioned existing device, since the ventilation hole has a predetermined ventilation amount, the braking force depends only on the force of the seal peripheral edge d' of the elastic valve body d coming into pressure contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder a. Although it can be used effectively when the required material has a light load (such as the cassette loading lid of a cassette tape recorder), when the load is large, sufficient air resistance cannot be obtained and the opening speed becomes high. In addition, since the specially shaped elastic valve body d must be incorporated into the actuating piston ci2, the number of installation steps is large (and there are also problems with the durability of the valve body d). .

The present invention has been developed by making the pressure contact state between the actuating piston and the cylinder variable in view of the conventional difficulties described in 1. By making the size of the ventilation hole communicating with the inside of the cylinder variable, the opening external force is large. As a result, the opening speed of the required parts increases (if this happens, the amount of ventilation from the ventilation holes is controlled and the load is increased from a small load to a sufficiently large one).
It always guarantees slow operation, thereby completely suppressing the generation of unpleasant noise, and even when the direction of the external force is opposite to the closing operation, even if the operation speed is sufficiently high. In that case, the braking force is automatically adjusted so that the load does not become large, and from this point on, it is possible to close with the same force as at normal operating speed, and
When using air pressure, such a shock absorber can be provided at low cost with a simple configuration without using a specially configured valve body for the operating piston, and when starting is guaranteed, the opening/closing operation as in the conventional example The purpose is to avoid the need for extreme resistance differences at times.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a shock absorber, in which the cylinder has an actuating piston at one end thereof, and
An adjustment piston facing the other end provided with the ventilation hole via a first adjustment space and connected to the other end by a return suffling 11 is closely fitted inside the cylinder so as to be able to move forward and backward. On the peripheral wall, the adjustment piston expands and compresses the return spring by expanding and reducing the pressure of the second adjustment space by rapidly expanding and contracting the operating piston, respectively, thereby reducing the degree of opening. It is characterized by a structure in which an adjustment through hole is provided through the increased position.

By configuring as described above, the present invention receives a large external force in one direction, and as a result, the internal pressure of the second adjustment space becomes negative due to the displacement of the rapidly sliding actuating piston, and thereby the adjustment piston is moved only during such rapid displacement, and the degree of opening of the adjustment hole is narrowed depending on the movement time, thereby reducing the amount of ventilation between the second adjustment space and the outside air. The amount of outside air flowing into the second adjustment space with respect to the displacement of the working piston is suppressed, thus increasing the braking force against the movement of the working piston, while the same ( The adjustment piston is moved, but this time, the degree of opening of the adjustment hole is increased by the movement,
This increases the amount of ventilation between the second adjustment space and the outside air, thereby increasing the amount of air flowing out from the second adjustment space due to the displacement of the working piston, thus reducing the braking force due to the displacement of the working piston. We will make it possible for them to do so.

First, the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the embodiment shown in FIG.

Furthermore, an adjustment hole 6 is provided in the peripheral wall 3' of the cylinder 3.
The holes are formed approximately in the center in the longitudinal direction, and in the illustrated example, the first holes with larger diameters are formed in order from the left end side at a predetermined interval in the longitudinal direction.
Although it is composed of a small hole a, and second and third small holes 6b and 6c having small diameters, it may be formed as one elongated hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder.

Next, an operating piston 7 is slidably fitted into the cylinder 3 indicated by F on its right end side, and an operating rod 7a of the piston 7 extends outward from the open end 6'. By drilling a connecting hole in the protruding end of the rod 7a, a piston connecting part 2 is formed for connecting with a connecting pin or the like at a desired attachment point, and 7b and 7b in the figure are actuating pistons. 7 shows an O-ring that is fitted and locked onto the outer periphery of 7.

83 in the figure is a sliding O-ring that fits and locks the adjusting piston 8, and the piston 8 is in normal condition at t in FIG.
The sliding O-rings 8a, 8a are located on both left and right sides of the first small hole 6a of the adjustment hole 6, and are in airtight pressure contact with the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 3. As a result, outside air does not flow into the cylinder 3 through the first small hole 6a.

Therefore, the above-mentioned shock absorber is attached to a predetermined member, for example, the connecting ring 1' of the cylinder connecting part 1 is attached to the housing side of an automobile glove box, and the connecting ring 1' of the cylinder connecting part 1 is attached to the glove box main body side which is rotatably supported in the housing. If the piston connecting portions 2 are rotatably connected and used, an external force such as moving the operating rod 7a to the right from the normal state shown in FIG. 1 (bl) to the right as shown in FIG. At this time, when the external force is not so large, the second adjustment space 10a is enlarged and has a negative pressure than the state in FIG. 1bl, as shown in FIG. 1c), but the outside air is , third through hole 6b.

Since it flows into the same space from 6c, the actuating piston 7 moves at a slow speed corresponding to the amount of ventilation from the openings 6b and 6C.
This movement to the right is allowed, and the glove box, etc. in the above example is slowly opened.

Next, if the above-mentioned external force is quite large, that is, if a heavy load is applied to the glove box, the rightward movement speed of the operating rod 7a will be large, and as a result, negative pressure will rapidly progress, and the second and second When outside air is introduced through the small holes b and 6c, the negative pressure progresses and the adjustment piston 8 moves to the right to extend against the elastic force of the return spring 9. As a result, as shown in (dl) in the figure, the adjustment piston 8 also closes the second small hole 6b, and only the third small hole 6c communicates the second adjustment space 1oa with the outside air.

As a result, the amount of air flowing into the second adjustment space 10a is reduced, and the rightward movement speed of the actuating piston 7 is therefore reduced, which means that a greater braking force is applied to the movement of the piston 7. Therefore, even when the box is heavy, it does not open quickly, but maintains a slow opening speed.

When the glove box is opened as described above, the actuating piston 7 stops at the limit of rightward movement, and then the internal pressure of the second adjustment space 10a increases due to the inflow of outside air from the third small hole C. Then, the adjustment piston 8 is returned to the left by the return spring 9.

Next, if an external force is applied in the direction of pushing in the operating rod 7a that has extended in the opposite direction from the state shown in "Y", the amount of $2
As shown in Figure 1, the actuating piston 7 will move to the left. At this time, if the pushing speed of the actuating piston 7 is slow, the second adjustment space 10a will have positive pressure, but the first and second small holes 6b and 6c are appropriately discharged to the outside air, making it possible to close the aforementioned boxes and the like against a desired level of light braking force.

Here, if the above-mentioned external force is caused by, for example, rapidly performing a closing operation, the leftward movement speed of the actuating piston 7 becomes large, and as a result, the positive pressure in the second adjustment space 10a becomes large. The adjustment piston 8 moves from its normal position to the left by compressing the return spring 9, as shown in the figure (see figure), thereby unblocking the first small hole 6a, which has a large diameter, and opening the adjustment passage. Since the hole 6 is fully open, even if the leftward movement speed of the operating piston 7 is high, the displacement from the space 1 oa increases, making it possible to close boxes, etc. with a small force. .

Also, rather than drilling only one adjustment hole 6 with a large diameter in the longitudinal direction, it is better to scatter a plurality of adjustment holes 6 to form small holes, or orifices, as shown in the illustrated example, to achieve extremely slow operation. This makes it easy to provide a shock absorber that can withstand large loads.

Since the present invention has the above-mentioned structure and can be implemented as in the above-mentioned embodiments, it can be used in the opening/closing device of the box, etc., to simply apply a braking force to the movement of a desired object. Not only can noise generation be suppressed, but when the movement is caused by a large external force, the braking force is automatically increased, and therefore the opening operation is always gradual by using air pressure, regardless of whether the external force is small or large. Moreover, even when the external force is reversed, if the reverse is quickly performed, the braking force -15= for the relevant transmission is automatically reduced, and as a result, the The eaves can be moved by the external force in the same way as when the eaves are moved backwards, and an easy-to-use shock absorber can be provided.

Furthermore, according to the present invention, there is no need to form a special valve body on the actuating piston or an assembly process, and therefore it can be provided at low cost, and the braking force can be adjusted by adjusting the amount of air flowing into or out of the cylinder. Since this is done through control, it is easy to create a shock absorber that can adequately handle large loads, and even when trying to guarantee starting, there is no extreme difference in resistance between opening and closing operations as in the conventional case. That purpose can be achieved.
