Abstract

A mounting unit of a shock absorber for a vehicle is disclosed. A mounting unit of a shock absorber for a vehicle that fixes an upper portion of a shock absorber connected to wheels to a vehicle body according to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention may include a shock absorber housing mounted to the vehicle body; a mounting module disposed in the shock absorber housing, and at least two mounting hole is formed at the mounting module; a tapping nut engaged through a mounting hole of the mounting module in the shock absorber housing; and a fixing nut engaged to an end portion of the tapping nut protruded to outside of the shock absorber housing and fixing the mounting module to the shock absorber housing; the mounting module and fixing nut are temporarily assembled to the shock absorber housing through a temporarily assembly apparatus and engaged to the tapping nut.

Claims (46)

1. A mounting unit of a shock absorber for a vehicle that fixes an upper portion of the shock absorber connected to wheels to a vehicle body, comprising:

a shock absorber housing mounted to the vehicle body;

a mounting module disposed in the shock absorber housing including four mounting portions each having a mounting hole formed therein and the mounting portions are disposed in four directions with a predetermined distance and a plurality of connecting portions connecting the mounting portions with each other such that the mounting module has a shape of a rectangular frame;

four tapping nuts, each of which is engaged through the mounting hole of the mounting module in the shock absorber housing; and

four fixing nuts, each of which is engaged to an end portion of each of the four tapping nuts protruded to outside of the shock absorber housing and fixing the mounting module to the shock absorber housing,

wherein the mounting module and fixing nut are temporarily assembled to the shock absorber housing through a temporary assembly apparatus and engaged to the tapping nut.

2. The mounting unit of claim 1 , wherein

each of the mounting portions is formed in a shape of circular plate and mounted at a seating portion of the shock absorber housing, and a screw thread is formed an interior circumference of the mounting hole,

the temporary assembly apparatus includes at least one first hook protrusion formed at each of the mounting portions, and each of the mounting portions is hooked to the seating portion of the shock absorber housing from the interior toward the exterior of the shock absorber housing through the first hook protrusion.

3. The mounting unit of claim 2 , wherein

the temporary assembly apparatus includes at least one second hook protrusion formed at the fixing nut, and the fixing nut is hooked to the seating portion of the shock absorber housing from the exterior toward the interior of the shock absorber housing through the second hook protrusion.

4. The mounting unit of claim 3 , wherein

a penetration hole that the tapping nut is passed through is formed at the seating portion, and

hook coupling grooves that the first and second hook protrusions are hooked are formed at an edge of the penetration hole.

5. The mounting unit of claim 4 , wherein

a first supporting groove that avoids interference with the second hook protrusion of the fixing nut is formed at each of the mounting portions of the mounting module.

6. The mounting unit of claim 5 , wherein

a second supporting groove that avoids interference with the first hook protrusion of each of the mounting portions is formed at the fixing nut.

7. The mounting unit of claim 1 , wherein

a nut groove engaged with the tapping nut is formed at the fixing nut, and a cover that covers the nut groove is formed at the fixing nut.

8. The mounting unit of claim 7 , wherein

the tapping nut is mounted from the interior toward the exterior of the shock absorber housing and protruded outside of the shock absorber housing, and the fixing nut is engaged to the protruded portion of the tapping nut.

9. The mounting unit of claim 1 , wherein

a load distribution portion that distributes load inputted through the shock absorber is further formed at the mounting module.

10. The mounting unit of claim 9 , wherein

the load distribution portion is disposed to be perpendicular to the mounting portions and the connecting portion.

11. The mounting unit of claim 1 , wherein:

the shock absorber housing

is integrally formed by aluminum die-casting.

12. The mounting unit of claim 1 , wherein:

the mounting portions and the connecting portions

are integrally formed.

13. A mounting unit of a shock absorber for a vehicle comprising:

a shock absorber housing that fixes an upper portion of the shock absorber connected to wheels to a vehicle body;

a mounting module disposed in the shock absorber housing, at least two mounting portions are formed at the mounting module, a mounting hole is formed at each of the mounting portions, the mounting portions are spaced with a predetermined distance and connected through at least one connecting portion, and the mounting portions and the connecting portions are integrally formed;

at least two tapping nuts, each of which is engaged to the mounting hole of the mounting portions in the shock absorber housing, and an end portion of each of the tapping nuts is protruded to an outside of the shock absorber housing;

at least two fixing nuts, each of which is engaged to the end portion of each of the tapping nuts and fixing the mounting module to the shock absorber housing; and

a temporary assembly apparatus that includes a hook protrusion for temporarily assembling the mounting module and the fixing nuts to the shock absorber housing.

14. The mounting unit of claim 13 , wherein

a seating portion for supporting each of the mounting portions of the mounting module is formed at the shock absorber housing,

a penetration hole that each of the tapping nuts is passed through is formed at the seating portion, and

a hook coupling groove that the hook protrusion is hooked is formed at an edge of the penetration hole.

15. The mounting unit of claim 13 , wherein

a load distribution portion that distributes load inputted through the shock absorber is further formed at the mounting module.

16. The mounting unit of claim 15 , wherein

the load distribution portion is disposed to be perpendicular to the mounting portions and the connecting portion.
