Especially in the automotive industry, the design and manufacture of heterotropic torsion springs play an important role. The collaborative work of heterotropic torsion springs and shock absorbers is one of the keys to improving the performance of automotive suspension systems.
Principle of collaborative work of heterotropic torsion springs and shock absorbers
In the automotive suspension system, heterotropic torsion springs and shock absorbers are tightly mechanically coupled to ensure that the vehicle can cope with complex road conditions during driving. This collaborative work mechanism has the following aspects:
Collaborative absorption of multi-axial loads
Due to its unique structure, heterotropic torsion springs can simultaneously withstand loads in multiple directions. When a vehicle passes through rough roads or turns at high speed, the wheels are subjected to forces in multiple directions, including vertical, horizontal and torsion. At this time, the shock absorber absorbs vertical vibrations, while the torsion spring absorbs lateral loads and torsion through its own torsion and bending. The combination of the two can significantly reduce the sway of the vehicle body and improve driving stability.
Dynamic load adjustment
The damping effect of the shock absorber can be dynamically adjusted according to road conditions and driving conditions, while the torsion spring provides additional load adjustment capabilities through the elastic response of its structure. When the vehicle brakes or turns sharply, the shock absorber stabilizes the vehicle body by increasing damping, while the torsion spring mitigates the impact of the vehicle body in the lateral and torsion directions through its multi-axis elasticity. This collaborative working mechanism can significantly reduce the degree of tilt of the vehicle when turning at high speed and enhance handling performance.
Relieve system fatigue and extend life
The interaction between the shock absorber and the spring in the suspension system can also effectively reduce the burden on a single component. The torsion spring can reduce stress concentration in a single direction and delay material fatigue by dispersing the load. The role of the shock absorber is to control the compression and release process of the spring to avoid excessive deformation and wear of the spring. Therefore, this synergistic mechanism helps to extend the service life of each component in the suspension system and reduce maintenance costs.
Adapt to different driving conditions
Another advantage of the differential torsion spring is its adaptability. Shock absorbers usually need to be adjusted according to the speed and road conditions of the vehicle, while differential torsion springs can automatically adjust their stiffness according to the load. When driving at low speeds or on smooth roads, the spring exhibits softer elasticity to improve comfort; when driving at high speeds or passing through rough roads, the spring exhibits higher stiffness to enhance the stability of the suspension. Combined with the dynamic adjustment function of the shock absorber, the differential torsion spring can provide a wider range of adaptability.
