SHOCK ABSORBER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18108438 titled 'SHOCK ABSORBER
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a shock absorber that includes a cylinder with a shock-absorbing surface, a piston rod, a magnet, an electromagnet coil, and a sensor.
- The shock-absorbing surface on the cylinder is designed to reduce the impact of an object.
- The piston rod is inserted into the cylinder in response to the object's impact.
- A magnet is installed at the opposite end of the piston rod and moves with it.
- An electromagnet coil generates a repulsive force against the magnet.
- A sensor detects the magnet and activates the electromagnet coil using a power source.
Potential Applications:
- Automotive industry: This shock absorber can be used in vehicles to improve ride comfort and stability by reducing the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces.
- Industrial machinery: The technology can be applied to heavy machinery to minimize vibrations and shocks, improving the overall performance and durability of the equipment.
Problems Solved:
- Impact reduction: The shock absorber helps to alleviate the impact of an object, preventing damage to the object or the surrounding environment.
- Vibration and shock mitigation: By absorbing and dissipating energy, the technology reduces vibrations and shocks, leading to improved safety and performance.
Benefits:
- Enhanced ride comfort: The shock absorber provides a smoother and more comfortable ride by reducing the impact of bumps and uneven surfaces.
- Increased equipment durability: By minimizing vibrations and shocks, the technology helps to extend the lifespan of vehicles and machinery.
- Improved safety: The shock absorber enhances stability and control, reducing the risk of accidents caused by sudden impacts or vibrations.
Original Abstract Submitted
A shock absorber includes a cylinder including a shock-absorbing surface configured to relieve an impact of an object, a piston rod including a first end receiving the object and, in response to the impact of the object, movably inserted into an inner space of the cylinder in an axial direction of the cylinder, a magnet installed at a second end of the piston rod opposite to the first end of the piston rod to be moved together with the piston rod, an electromagnet coil configured to generate a repulsive force against the magnet, and a sensor configured to detect the magnet and cause the electromagnet coil to receive a current from a power source.
