Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a cover cap and an insulator for a shock absorber including the same, and the cover cap according to the embodiment of the present disclosure includes a cap main body having a circular plate shape, and a cap hollow portion penetrating a center of the cap main body. Further, a part or the entirety of the cap hollow portion is formed such that a diameter thereof increases toward one surface of the cap main body and the diameter maximally increases at one surface of the cap main body.

Claims (27)

1. An insulator for a shock absorber, the insulator comprising:

a body having an installation hole penetratively formed in a longitudinal direction;

a bushing installed in the installation hole of the body so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction and having a coupling hole formed such that one end of a piston rod connected to a cylinder is coupled to the coupling hole;

an impact absorbing member configured to surround the bushing in the installation hole of the body; and

a cover cap configured to cover the installation hole in a direction opposite to a direction in which one end of the piston rod is coupled,

wherein the cover cap comprises a cap main body forming with a circular plate shape and having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a cap hollow portion penetrating a center of the cap main body,

wherein the lower surface of the cap main body is flat, and an upper surface of the cap main body, which is opposite to the lower surface of the cap main body, protrudes toward a center of the circular plate shape,

wherein a lower portion of the cap hollow portion is formed such that a diameter thereof increases toward an inner edge of the lower surface of the cap main body and the diameter maximally increases at the inner edge of the lower surface of the cap main body, and

wherein the impact absorbing member is formed of a single piece including

a first surface directly in contact with the lower surface of the cap main body and

a second surface connected to the first surface and distanced away from the lower surface of the cover cap by an empty space in the longitudinal direction, and

wherein even when the bushing moves in the longitudinal direction toward the cover cap, the second surface of the single piece of the impact absorbing member is kept distanced away from the lower surface of the cover cap by the empty space.

2. The insulator of claim 1 , wherein a portion of the impact absorbing member is interposed between the bushing and the cover cap.

3. The insulator of claim 1 , wherein the impact absorbing member is made of any one of rubber and urethane.

4. The insulator of claim 1 , wherein the body having the installation hole comprises a body hollow portion configured to communicate with the installation hole and formed such that one end of the piston rod is inserted into the body hollow portion.

5. The insulator of claim 1 , wherein the bushing comprises a bushing protruding portion protruding in a cylindrical shape from one surface of the bushing facing the cover cap.

6. An insulator for a shock absorber, the insulator comprising:

a body having an installation hole penetratively formed in a longitudinal direction;

a bushing installed in the installation hole of the body so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction and having a coupling hole formed such that one end of a piston rod extending from a cylinder is coupled to the coupling hole;

an impact absorbing member configured to surround the bushing in the installation hole of the body; and

a cover cap configured to cover the installation hole in a direction opposite to a direction in which one end of the piston rod is coupled,

wherein the cover cap comprises a cap main body forming with a circular plate shape and having an upper surface and a lower surface, and a cap hollow portion penetrating a center of the cap main body,

wherein the lower surface of the cap main body is flat, and an upper surface of the cap main body, which is opposite to the lower surface of the cap main body, protrudes toward a center of the circular plate shape,

wherein a lower portion of the cap hollow portion is formed such that a diameter thereof increases toward an inner edge of the lower surface of the cap main body and the diameter maximally increases at the inner edge of the lower surface of the cap main body,

wherein the bushing comprises a bushing protruding portion protruding in a cylindrical shape from one surface of the bushing facing the cover cap, and

wherein an outer diameter of the bushing protruding portion is smaller than a minimum inner diameter of the cap hollow portion of the cover cap.

7. The insulator of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of cap grooves is formed in the upper surface of the cap main body and radially disposed with respect to the cap hollow portion.
