SHOCK ABSORBER AND VALVE APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18274637 titled 'SHOCK ABSORBER AND VALVE APPARATUS
Simplified Explanation
The present invention involves a configuration where a main valve is in abutment with only a ridge portion on the inner peripheral side of a seat portion when mounted on a piston, reducing radial contact width and managing the radial dimension of the ridge portion to maintain a constant contact diameter between the main valve and the seat portion.
- Main valve in abutment with ridge portion on inner peripheral side of seat portion
- Reduces radial contact width between main valve and seat portion
- Manages radial dimension of ridge portion to maintain constant contact diameter
- Helps prevent or reduce variations in valve-opening point and damping force
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in various hydraulic systems, such as shock absorbers, hydraulic cylinders, and hydraulic brakes.
Problems Solved
1. Variations in valve-opening point and damping force 2. Radial contact width between main valve and seat portion
Benefits
1. Improved consistency in valve performance 2. Enhanced control over hydraulic systems 3. Increased efficiency in damping operations
Potential Commercial Applications
"Optimizing Valve Performance in Hydraulic Systems: Applications and Benefits"
Possible Prior Art
There may be prior art related to valve configurations in hydraulic systems, but specific examples are not provided in this context.
Unanswered Questions
How does this configuration impact the overall efficiency of hydraulic systems?
This configuration can potentially improve the efficiency of hydraulic systems by ensuring consistent valve performance and reducing variations in damping force.
What are the potential cost implications of implementing this technology in hydraulic systems?
The cost implications of implementing this technology would depend on factors such as manufacturing processes, materials used, and the scale of production. Further research and analysis would be needed to determine the specific cost implications.
Original Abstract Submitted
One aspect of the present invention is configured in such a manner that a main valve (a valve member) is in abutment with only a ridge portion (a second protrusion portion) on the inner peripheral side of a seat portion (a first seat portion) in a state of being mounted on a piston. This configuration can reduce the radial contact width between the main valve and the seat portion, and contribute to preventing or reducing variations in the valve-opening point and the damping force by managing the radial dimension of the ridge portion on the inner peripheral side of the seat portion to allow the contact diameter between the main valve and the seat portion to be kept constant.
