摘要:
A piston assembly for a shock absorber comprises a piston rod which is formed with a threaded opening which extends axially and opens to an axial end, about which a piston body is mounted. A stud which is separately formed and independent of the piston rod, and extends through the piston body, engages with the threaded opening for securing the piston body thereonto.

Oil grooves of a shutter and oil holes of a stepped rod constitute first orifices as variable orifices whose opening areas are variable according to the rotational position of the shutter. The oil grooves of the shutter and oil holes of the stepped rod constitute third orifices as variable orifices. Cut portions of inner disk valves constitute second orifices. The opening areas of the variable orifices are changed by rotating the shutter, thereby controlling damping force characteristics in a low piston speed region and the relief pressures of pressure control valves independently of each other, and thus increasing the degree of freedom for adjusting the damping force characteristics.

A check valve assembly has a seat plate formed with a first opening, a check plate with a valve section defining a second opening, and an orifice plate between the seat plate and the check plate. The orifice plate has a third opening covered by the valve section of the check plate and a fourth opening communicating the second opening in the check plate and with a cutout section connecting the third and fourth openings. The seat plate covers the fourth opening and the cutout section in the orifice plate.

A variable damping force shock absorber includes a cylinder defining therein first and second fluid chambers separated by a valve body. The valve body defines first and second fluid paths for fluid communication between the first and second fluid chambers. A harder damping characteristics valve is associated with the first fluid path. On the other hand, a softer damping characteristics valve is associated with the second fluid path. The valve body has a pair of coaxial arranged grooves. The inner groove is in communication with the first fluid path. Valve seats are formed along respective outer circumference of the inner and outer grooves. The second fluid path is provided with means for varying the fluid path area.

An automotive suspension system employs a pressure sensor means designed for monitoring fluid pressure in a fluid chamber of shock absorber to be compressed during piston bounding stroke. Variable suspension characteristics to vary suspension mode between HARD mode and SOFT mode so that suspension mode is normally set in SOFT mode and switched into HARD mode when variation rate of the output of the sensor means becomes greater than a predetermined rate and when the output of the sensor means represents a pressure higher than a predetermined level in the piston bounding stroke.

A shock absorber includes first passages configured to communicate two chambers to flow a working fluid therebetween by movement of a piston, and a second passage configured to communicate with one chamber of the two chambers. The first passages have damping valves configured to suppress a flow of the working fluid generated by movement of the piston to generate a damping force. The second passage has a variable orifice having an area adjusted by an elastic member when a piston rod moves in an extension direction, a pressure chamber installed in series with the variable orifice, and a free piston configured to vary a volume of the pressure chamber by movement of the piston.

A suspension control system is designed to adjust suspension characteristics between hard and soft for bounding and rebounding stroke independently of each other. The system has a sensor means for monitoring speed of a vehicular body as a sprung mass for producing a vehicle body speed indicative signal, which vehicle body speed indicative signal has a variable signal polarity depending upon the direction of vibration, and a sensor means for monitoring relative speed between the vehicular body and a vehicular wheel as an unsprung mass for producing a relative speed indicative signal which also has a variable signal polarity depending upon the direction of relative movement of the vehicular body and the vehicular wheel. A control unit detects a combination of signal polarities of the vehicle body speed indicative signal and the relative speed indicative signal for adjusting damping characteristics for bounding and rebounding vibration independently of each other and depending on the detected combination.
