FREQUENCY SELECTIVE DAMPER VALVE, AND SHOCK ABSORBER COMPRISING SUCH DAMPER VALVE

摘要

A damper valve (100) comprises a controlled flow channel (115) between a valve inlet side (100.1) and a valve outlet side (100.2); a controlled valve (130) provided in the controlled flow channel; a movable valve body (120) acting on the controlled valve so as to change a closing force of the controlled valve; and a control chamber (126). The control chamber comprises a control chamber inlet (125) in fluid connection with the valve inlet side (100.1) upstream of the controlled valve (130); a configuration providing a variable volume of the control chamber, a change in volume of the control chamber acting to cause a movement of the movable valve body (120); and a pressure relief valve (160) to allow a relief fluid flow from the control chamber (126) to the valve inlet side (100.1) bypassing the flow restriction (160.1) of the control chamber inlet (125).
