High stroke efficiency hydraulic bump stop
Disclosed herein is a hydraulic jounce bouncer comprising a damper body, a shaft telescopically engaged with the damper body, a piston slidably disposed within the damper body and threadedly coupled to a first end of the shaft, wherein the piston has at least one compression port therethrough, and a negative spring disposed between the shaft and the damper body.
1. A hydraulic jounce bouncer comprising:
a damper body;
a shaft telescopically engaged with said damper body;
a piston slidably disposed within said damper body and threadedly coupled to a first end of said shaft, wherein said piston has at least one compression port therethrough;
a negative spring disposed between said shaft and said damper body; and
an internal floating piston disposed within said shaft.
2. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 1 wherein, said at least one compression port has a compression shim to restrict flow through the at least one compression port during a rebound stroke.
3. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one rebound port.
4. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 3 wherein, said at least one rebound port has a check shim to restrict flow through the at least one rebound port during a compression stroke.
5. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 1 further comprising:
a bottom bumper disposed at a second end of said shaft.
6. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 1 further comprising:
at least one oil fill fluidly coupled to an interior of said shaft or said damper body.
7. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 1 wherein, said shaft has at least one shaft port to fluidly connect a rebound chamber to the interior of said shaft.
8. A hydraulic jounce bouncer comprising:
a damper body;
a shaft telescopically engaged with said damper body;
a piston slidably disposed within said damper body and threadedly coupled to a first end of said shaft, wherein said piston has at least one compression port therethrough, wherein said at least one compression port has a compression shim to restrict flow through the at least one compression port during a rebound stroke, wherein said piston has at least one rebound port;
a negative spring disposed between said shaft and said damper body; and
an internal floating piston disposed within said shaft.
9. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 8 wherein, said at least one rebound port has a check shim to restrict flow through the at least one rebound port during a compression stroke.
10. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 8 further comprising:
a bottom bumper disposed at a second end of said shaft.
11. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 8 further comprising:
at least one oil fill fluidly coupled to an interior of said shaft or said damper body.
12. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 8 wherein, said shaft has at least one shaft port to fluidly connect a rebound chamber to the interior of said shaft.
13. A hydraulic jounce bouncer comprising:
a damper body;
a shaft telescopically engaged with said damper body;
a piston slidably disposed within said damper body and threadedly coupled to a first end of said shaft, wherein said piston has at least one compression port therethrough, wherein said at least one compression port has a compression shim to restrict flow through the at least one compression port during a rebound stroke, wherein said piston has at least one rebound port;
an internal floating piston disposed within said shaft; and
a negative spring disposed between said shaft and said damper body.
14. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 13 wherein, said at least one rebound port has a check shim to restrict flow through the at least one rebound port during a compression stroke.
15. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 13 further comprising:
a bottom bumper disposed at a second end of said shaft.
16. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 13 further comprising:
at least one oil fill fluidly coupled to an interior of said shaft or said damper body.
17. The hydraulic jounce bouncer of claim 13 wherein, said shaft has at least one shaft port to fluidly connect a rebound chamber to the interior of said shaft.
