Abstract

A suspension for a vehicle including a strut tube; a strut rod installed so as to be movable in the strut tube; an insulator part through which an upper end of the strut rod is installed, and which includes a lower cup, an insulator body and an upper cup; and a cap member coupled to the upper cup so as to prevent penetration of foreign matters, and having a coupling structure coupled to the upper end of the strut rod. An anti-rotation structure for preventing rotation of the cap member may be provided in the cap member and the upper cup.

Claims (25)

1. A suspension for a vehicle, comprising:

a strut tube;

a strut rod movably installed in the strut tube;

an insulator part through which an upper end of the strut rod is installed, the insulator part comprising a lower cup, an insulator body, and an upper cup; and

a cap member coupled to the upper cup so as to prevent penetration of foreign matters, and including a coupling structure coupled to the upper end of the strut rod,

wherein:

the cap member and the upper cup include an anti-rotation structure for preventing rotation of the cap member; and

the anti-rotation structure comprises a plurality of fixed grooves formed in the upper cup and a plurality of fixed protrusions formed in the cap member.

2. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein the coupling structure comprises a plurality of fixed pieces formed in a cylindrical coupling part formed in an inner central portion of the cap member, the plurality of fixed pieces being configured to pressurize and fix the circumference of the upper end of the strut rod, and the circumference of the upper end of the strut rod is forcibly coupled between the fixed pieces.

3. The suspension of claim 2 , wherein the plurality of fixed pieces are disposed on the circumference of a concentric circle, and arranged at even intervals.

4. The suspension of claim 2 , wherein a groove formed by the plurality of fixed pieces has a smaller radius than that of the strut rod.

5. The suspension of claim 1 , wherein the cap member and the upper cup include an anti-separation structure for preventing separation of the cap member.

6. A suspension for a vehicle, comprising:

a strut tube;

a strut rod movably installed in the strut tube;

an insulator part through which an upper end of the strut rod is installed, the insulator part comprising a lower cup, an insulator body, and an upper cup; and

a cap member coupled to the upper cup so as to prevent penetration of foreign matters, and including a coupling structure coupled to the upper end of the strut rod,

wherein:

the cap member and the upper cup include an anti-separation structure for preventing separation of the cap member;

the cap member and the upper cup include an anti-rotation structure for preventing rotation of the cap member; and

the anti-rotation structure comprises a plurality of fixed grooves formed in the upper cup and a plurality of fixed protrusions formed in the cap member.

7. The suspension of claim 6 , wherein the coupling structure comprises a plurality of fixed pieces which are formed in a cylindrical coupling part formed in an inner central portion of the cap member, the plurality of fixed pieces being configured to pressurize and fix the circumference of the upper end of the strut rod, and the circumference of the upper end of the strut rod is forcibly coupled between the fixed pieces.

8. The suspension of claim 7 , wherein the plurality of fixed pieces are disposed on the circumference of a concentric circle, and arranged at even intervals.

9. The suspension of claim 7 , wherein a groove formed by the plurality of fixed pieces has a smaller radius than that of the strut rod.

10. The suspension of claim 6 , wherein the anti-separation structure comprises a first crease structure formed in a ring-shape in the upper cup and a second crease structure formed on the outer surface of the coupling part and coupled to the first crease structure.
