  • Patent number: 12540685
    Abstract: An internal type electronically controlled valve assembly includes a main poppet retainer formed in a disc shape with a rim protruding downward and disposed horizontally between a main poppet and a control disk. The internal type electronically controlled valve assembly is configured such that, during a compression stroke, a working fluid introduced through a hollow hole of a main sheet passes between the control disk and the main poppet retainer, reducing the pressure, and then flows into a pilot passage formed in the main poppet, thereby significantly reducing the pressure of a compression pilot chamber.

  • Publication number: 20250230853
    Abstract: A damping force adjustment device is provided. A damping force adjustment device comprises a pilot poppet raised and lowered by a magnetic force and a main poppet in which at least a portion of the pilot poppet is accommodated. Moreover, the damping force adjustment device comprises an elastic unit between at least a portion of an outer peripheral surface of the pilot poppet and an inner peripheral surface of one region of the main poppet where the pilot poppet is accommodated.

  • Publication number: 20250163987
    Abstract: In an outer housing and a damping force adjustment unit constituting a damping force variable valve assembly and a damping force variable shock absorber of the present disclosure, a main flow path through which fluid flows during compression and extension strokes, a first auxiliary flow path which allows fluid flow only in soft mode during the compression and extension strokes and is closed in hard mode, and a second auxiliary flow path which allows fluid flow for compression pressure adjustment only in the hard mode during the compression stroke are formed. The damping force adjusting unit includes a check valve unit that selectively opens the second auxiliary flow path.
