SELF-LEVELING DAMPER - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18373155 titled 'SELF-LEVELING DAMPER
The patent application describes a self-leveling damper with ribs on the diaphragm to maintain flow paths and prevent blockage of a relief valve hole.
- Plurality of ribs formed on an internal circumferential surface of a rectilinear portion of the diaphragm
- Step portion on the lower surface of an upper holder to prevent blocking of relief valve hole flow path
- Upper edge portion of lower holder flow paths formed as a round surface to prevent damage to lower holder coupling portion
Potential Applications: - Industrial machinery - Automotive suspension systems - Aerospace technology
Problems Solved: - Ensures consistent flow paths - Prevents blockage of relief valve hole - Protects lower holder coupling portion from damage
Benefits: - Improved performance and reliability - Enhanced safety - Extended lifespan of damper components
Commercial Applications: Title: "Advanced Self-Leveling Dampers for Industrial Machinery" This technology can be used in various industries such as automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing for improved damping performance and reliability.
Questions about Self-Leveling Dampers: 1. How does the presence of ribs on the diaphragm help maintain flow paths? The ribs on the diaphragm ensure consistent flow paths between the external tube and the diaphragm, enhancing the performance of the damper.
2. What is the significance of the step portion on the lower surface of the upper holder? The step portion prevents the blocking of the relief valve hole flow path by the upper holder coupling portion, ensuring proper functioning of the damper.
Original Abstract Submitted
A self-leveling damper includes a plurality of ribs formed on an internal circumferential surface of a rectilinear portion of a diaphragm to maintain flow paths between an external tube and the diaphragm, a step portion which prevents the blocking of a relief valve hole flow path by an upper holder coupling portion and is formed on a lower surface of an upper holder, wherein an upper edge portion of each of lower holder flow paths is formed as a round surface which is a curved surface so that damage to a lower holder coupling portion may be prevented.
