Suspension array and clothes treating apparatus including the same
A suspension array includes a support rod, an elastic member wound around the support rod, a housing supported by the elastic member and including a compartment surrounding the support rod, the support rod being coupled to the housing while penetrating the housing in the longitudinal direction, a friction member installed inside the housing to cause friction with the support rod when the friction member in the compartment is displaced, and a cap penetrated in the longitudinal direction by the support rod and coupled with the housing to cover the compartment, wherein the support rod penetrates the cap along the longitudinal direction and wherein the housing includes one or more first holes configured to discharge, to the outside, condensate generated in an inner space defined by the coupling between the cap and the housing.
COIL SPRING
In the coil spring of the present invention, a helical space defined by a space between coils has a first end region whose space is increased as it extends towards the other side in the axial direction from a first reference point where the space is zero, a reference region whose space is set at a reference value L (L>0), and a second end region whose space becomes narrow as it extends toward the other side in the axial direction and zero at a second reference point. The first end region is configured such that the number of turns of the helical space is greater than 1 and the space between coils in a terminal position is greater than the reference value L. The helical space has a first transitional region between the terminal position of the first end region and the reference region, the first transitional region being configured so that the distance of space between coils is reduced from the terminal position of the first end region along the helical shape of the helical space toward the other side in the axial direction and becomes the reference value L.
METHOD FOR CALCULATING PRESSURE LOSS OF SERIES R-TYPE AUTOMOBILE VIBRATION DAMPER
The present invention discloses a method for calculating a pressure loss of a series R-type automobile vibration damper. The automobile vibration damper includes a frame, a spring, an axle, a hydraulic cylinder, an upper oil tank, a piston, a lower oil tank, and a resistance adjustment section. The resistance adjustment section is composed of 4 capillaries connected in series and solenoid valves. The four capillaries are all coiled into an M shape. The 4 capillaries are R8, R4, R2, and R1 and are connected in parallel with solenoid valves V.sub.R8, V.sub.R4, V.sub.R2, V.sub.R1, respectively. Due to the viscous effect of oily liquid in the cylinder, when the oily liquid flows through the resistance adjustment section, the damping can be adjusted by adjusting the configurations SR, of the solenoid valves V.sub.R8, V.sub.R4, V.sub.R2, and V.sub.R1. The present invention provides a method for calculating a pressure loss of an R-type automobile vibration damper, and achieves the purpose of reducing uncertainties of a control model, which provides a theoretical basis for improving the control quality of the vibration damper.
FLEXIBLE ORGANIC LIGHT-EMITTING DISPLAY (OLED) AND SPRING COMPONENT
Provided herein are a flexible organic light-emitting display (OLED) and a spring component. The film layers are pulled one on one by spring components to make the film layers flat when being unfolded and free of irreversible deformation when being folded. A lubricating layer is disposed between adjacent film layers so that the action force between the adjacent film layers is reduced, thereby making the flexible organic light-emitting display (OLED) flat and free of creases when being unfolded.
SUPPORTING DEVICE AND GAS SPRING
A supporting device including an installation assembly; a first supporting arm assembly having a longitudinal direction, a first end, and a second end; a switching bracket; a bearing unit pivotally connected to the switching bracket; and at least one gas spring is provided. The first end is pivotally connected to the installation assembly. The switching bracket is pivotally connected to the second end of the first supporting arm assembly. The gas spring is disposed in the first supporting arm assembly and is respectively connected to the switching bracket and the installation assembly to provide a supporting force. Each gas spring has a hollow tube, a piston rod, and a compression spring. The piston rod is slidably disposed through the hollow tube and has a head. The head may be varied between maximum and minimum protruding positions relative to the hollow tube. The compression spring is sleeved on the piston rod.
Damping device
According to an embodiment, a damping device includes a base member including a first base and a second base, a weight member, a pair of first base-side coil springs provided between the first base and the weight member, and a pair of second base-side coil springs provided between the second base and the weight member. Each of the first base-side coil springs includes a first effective turn portion, a first fixed pin portion supported in the first base, and a first movable pin portion supported in the weight member. Each of the second base-side coil springs includes a second effective turn portion, a second fixed pin portion supported in the second base, and a second movable pin portion supported in the weight member.
Suspension pre-load adjustment system
A suspension system for a vehicle and method for operating the same includes a shock absorber housing having a longitudinal axis, a spring disposed around the shock absorber housing and a retainer collar disposed around the shock absorber housing. An actuator coupled to the retainer housing moves at least a portion of the retainer housing to move the spring in a direction corresponding the longitudinal axis.
TUNED MASS DAMPER IN AN EXTERIOR REARVIEW DEVICE
A motor vehicle includes mating features in a sheet metal of the motor vehicle, an exterior rearview device assembly fixedly secured to the motor vehicle, where the exterior rearview device assembly includes a structural base frame that mates to the mating features of the sheet metal at a mounting plane, and a tuned mass damper system secured to the structural base frame adjacent to the mounting plane. The tuned mass damper system includes more than one mass damper. In an example, a primary axis of movement of the tuned mass damper is at least one of substantially parallel with or substantially perpendicular to the mounting plane. In another example, the tuned mass damper is configured to dampen resonant vibrations being generated by the motor vehicle.
