SOLENOID VALVE ASSEMBLY OF SHOCK ABSORBER
Disclosed is a solenoid valve assembly of a shock absorber wherein a plug the position of which is threadedly adjusted is prevented from escaping. The solenoid valve assembly includes a tubular spool rod having a female threaded portion formed on one end thereof, a plug including a male threaded portion threadedly coupled to the female threaded portion and a head portion having a diameter lager than that of the male threaded portion, the plug being threadedly adjusted in position with respect to the spool rod. The assembly further includes one or more ring-shaped spacers positioned adjacent or contiguous the male threaded portion for filling a space between an end surface of the spool rod and the head portion, thereby providing fixing torque to the plug the position of which is adjusted.
1 . A solenoid valve assembly of a shock absorber, comprising:
a tubular spool rod having a female threaded portion formed toward one end thereof;
a plug including a male threaded portion threadedly coupled to the female threaded portion and a head portion having a diameter lager than a diameter of the male threaded portion, the plug being threadedly adjusted in position with respect to the spool rod; and
one or more ring-shaped spacers positioned adjacent the male threaded portion to fill a space between an end surface of the spool rod and the head portion, and provide fixing torque to the plug the position of which is adjusted.
2 . The solenoid valve assembly of claim 1 wherein the ring-shaped spacer is elastically deformable and has a shape with a portion opened, the ring-shaped spacer being positioned on a portion of the plug without separating the plug from the spool rod.
3 . The solenoid valve assembly of claim 1 wherein a quantity of the ring-shaped spacers and thickness thereof are selected according to a gap between the head portion and the end surface of the spool rod, and the ring-shaped spacers are positioned on the plug.
