  • Publication number: 20240328477
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a shock absorber structure with variable damping, comprising an outer tube, a piston, a shaft, a plurality of spring sets, a cushioning piston cover set, an inlet regulating bolt, and a damping regulating bolt, wherein the outer tube is filled with damping oil. The shaft drives the piston by moving to the upper dead center to produce a primary damping of cushioning, and the cushioning piston cover set and the inlet regulating bolt produce a secondary damping of cushioning to achieve the effect of variable damping. When the shaft reaches the lower dead center, the spring set rebounds and pushes the cushioning piston cover set and the piston for displacement to achieve the cushioning state with variable damping and improve the overall shock absorption and cushioning effect.
