If a spring load some energy and use it for opposing other forces, and a dash pot has a friction, physically the both shouldn't have the same force-displacement equation ?
In most of dash pots, we could find an inner spring right ?

A spring stores energy, a dashpot dissipates energy, so without going into any more detail than that, you know they must have different equations.
The spring delivers a force proportional to the displacement.
A dashpot delivers a force proportional to the velocity, or the rate of change of displacement. In most dashpots, you'll find a fluid being forced through a small orifice as the piston moves.
