Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a valve structure of a shock absorber in which ride comfort degradation may be prevented by forming a first flow path and a second flow path independently formed without associating them to each other such that disks do not sequentially open and cause a blow-off phenomenon, and a degree of tuning freedom may be improved by forming the first flow path and the second flow path independently without interference.

Claim (Index 1):
A valve structure of a shock absorber comprising:\n a main body configured to divide an inside of a cylinder into a compression chamber and an extension chamber; at least one first flow path radially disposed about a vertical center of the main body and including an upper end and a lower end on which an inlet and an outlet are correspondingly formed; an auxiliary disk including an edge configured to be in close contact with any one of an upper surface and a lower surface of the main body in the compression chamber to block the outlet of the first flow path and including at least one slit formed along the edge to open the lower end of the first flow path during an extension stroke; at least one second flow path radially disposed about the vertical center of the main body along an outer side of the first flow path and including an upper end and a lower end wherein the second flow path vertically passes through the upper end and the lower end; at least one compression side main disk having a diameter greater than that of the auxiliary disk, disposed below the auxiliary disk, including an edge in contact with an outlet of the second flow path, and configured to open the outlet of the second flow path located in the compression chamber during the extension stroke; and at least one extension side main disk including an edge in close contact with the upper surface of the main body in the extension chamber, in close contact with the outlet of the second flow path and configured to open the outlet of the second flow path located in the extension chamber during a compression stroke.
