Abstract

A hydraulic damping device includes a cylinder 11 , a cylinder 12 , a piston 30 that partitions a space in the cylinder 11 , a piston rod 20 that is connected to the piston 30 , a bottom valve 40 that separates the interior of the cylinder 11 from a reservoir chamber R and has a communication passage of a liquid between the interior of the cylinder 11 and the reservoir chamber R, and a check valve mechanism 50 that is disposed in a radial direction of an area where movement of the piston 30 in the cylinder 11 is restricted or an area extended axially on an outer side of the cylinder 11 , and permits a flow in one direction between the interior of the cylinder 11 and the reservoir chamber R caused by the movement of the piston 30 and restricts the flow in the other direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A pressure damping device comprising:
a first cylinder containing a liquid; a second cylinder positioned outside the first cylinder and forming a liquid reservoir chamber in which the liquid collects between the second cylinder and the first cylinder; a partition member provided in the first cylinder so as to be movable in an axial direction and partitioning an interior of the first cylinder into a first liquid chamber and a second liquid chamber that contain the liquid in the interior of the first cylinder; a rod member connected to the partition member and moving in the axial direction of the first cylinder; an outer flow path forming a flow path of the liquid between the first liquid chamber and the liquid reservoir chamber outside the first cylinder; a partition communication member separating the space in the first cylinder from the liquid reservoir chamber and having a communication passage of the liquid between the interior of the first cylinder and the liquid reservoir chamber; and a permission restriction portion disposed in a radial direction of an area where movement of the partition member in the first cylinder is restricted or an area extended axially on an outer side of the first cylinder, provided at a contacting position with the outer flow path of the partition communication member, and permitting a flow in one direction between the interior of the first cylinder and the liquid reservoir chamber caused by the movement of the partition member, and restricting a flow in the other direction.

2 . The pressure damping device according to claim 1 , wherein
the partition communication member has a liquid reservoir portion communication passage that forms a flow path of the liquid between the outer flow path and the liquid reservoir chamber, and the permission restriction portion is provided in the liquid reservoir portion communication passage, and permits and restricts the flow of the liquid between the interior of the first cylinder and the liquid reservoir chamber via the outer flow path.

3 . The pressure damping device according to claim 1 , wherein
the permission restriction portion is provided in the outer flow path, and permits and restricts a flow of the liquid between the interior of the first cylinder and the liquid reservoir chamber via the outer flow path.

4 . The pressure damping device according to claim 2 , further comprising:
a third cylinder provided between the first cylinder and the second cylinder, forming the outer flow path between the third cylinder and the first cylinder, and forming the liquid reservoir chamber between the third cylinder and the second cylinder, wherein the partition member has an inter-liquid chamber communication passage that forms a flow path of the liquid between the first liquid chamber and the second liquid chamber, and a partition member restriction permission member that permits a flow of the liquid from the second liquid chamber to the first liquid chamber via the inter-liquid chamber communication passage and restricts a flow of the liquid from the first liquid chamber to the second liquid chamber, the permission restriction portion is configured by an elastic mechanism having an elastic body that receives the flow of the liquid and is thereby elastically deformed or a movable body that is moved by an elastic body that receives the flow of the liquid and is thereby elastically deformed, and the elastic mechanism permits a flow of the liquid from the liquid reservoir chamber to the second liquid chamber via the outer flow path by opening the liquid reservoir portion communication passage in conjunction with movement of the partition member toward the first liquid chamber, and restricts a flow of the liquid from the second liquid chamber to the liquid reservoir chamber via the outer flow path by closing the liquid reservoir portion communication passage in conjunction with movement of the partition member toward the second liquid chamber.
