Valve driving device and shock absorber using the same
The present invention aims to provide a valve driving device that suppresses an increase in size and improves thrust. The present invention includes a bobbin including a body portion, a solenoid coil wound around the body portion of the bobbin, an armature arranged on a radially inner side of the bobbin and fixed to a rod, an anchor that covers one side in an axial direction of the armature at a position on the radially inner side of the bobbin, a yoke partially arranged between the bobbin and the anchor, and a cylindrical member arranged between the bobbin and the armature. The bobbin includes a recessed portion on the radially inner side, and a part of the cylindrical member is inserted into the recessed portion. A part of the cylindrical member and the recessed portion are arranged so as to be laminated in the radial direction.
1. A valve driving device for a damping force adjustment type shock absorber, the valve driving device comprising:
a bobbin with a cylindrical body portion; a coil wound around the body portion of the bobbin;
an armature that is arranged on a radially inner side of the bobbin and fixed to a rod; an anchor that covers one side in an axial direction of the armature at a position on a radially inner side of the bobbin;
a yoke partially arranged between the bobbin and the anchor; and
a cylindrical member arranged between the bobbin and the armature,
wherein
the bobbin includes a recessed portion on the radially inner side,
a part of the cylindrical member is inserted into the recessed portion,
the one part of the cylindrical member and the recessed portion are arranged so as to be laminated in the radial direction, and
the armature operates in an axial direction to take a position where the one part of the cylindrical member and the recessed portion are laminated and a position where the one part of the cylindrical member and the recessed portion are not laminated in the radial direction.
2. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the cylindrical member is a non-magnetic body.
3. The valve driving device according to claim 2 , wherein
an outer diameter of the cylindrical member is formed in a stepped form and includes a small outer diameter portion and a large outer diameter portion, the large outer diameter portion being arranged in the recessed portion.
4. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , further comprising a tubular housing that covers the other side in the axial direction of the armature, the housing being fitted to the cylindrical member.
5. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
a part of the yoke is arranged so as to be laminated with the recessed portion and the one part of the cylindrical member in the radial direction.
6. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the yoke and the cylindrical member are brazed.
7. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the anchor and the yoke are integrally formed.
8. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the bobbin includes a flange portion extending toward a radially outer side from an axial end of the body portion, the flange portion including a step portion formed in a stepped form toward an axially outer side, and
the recessed portion is provided on a radially inner side of the step portion.
9. The valve driving device according to claim 1 , wherein
the yoke is arranged so as to cover a periphery of the coil.
10. A shock absorber comprising:
a cylinder;
a piston that slides in an inside of the cylinder and divides the inside of the cylinder into a cylinder upper chamber and a cylinder lower chamber; a piston rod coupled to the piston; a reservoir connected to each of the cylinder upper chamber and the cylinder lower chamber; and
a damping force generation means provided between the cylinder and the reservoir,
wherein
the damping force generation means includes a pilot valve unit that adjusts a damping force with respect to the piston and a valve driving device that controls the pilot valve unit, and
the valve driving device includes claim 1 .
