The invention relates to an
air spring with stiffness adjusted by filler and pressure and step-pressure buffer. The
air spring is of the utmost importance to enhance the smoothness and the comfort of a vehicle, protect roads and freight and limit overfreight. For the type-matching of the static stiffness of the
air spring, people
neglect that the static stiffness adjustment is needed because difference exists between stiffness of a selectable standard series
airbag and required stiffness of a particular vehicle. Difficulty in the
dynamic stiffness adjustment of the air spring is frequently resulted from the mismatch of the static stiffness for the
airbag. In a passive type
air suspension system, the mismatch of the static stiffness of the
airbag is the important reason which results in severe lateral motion
in vehicle operation. The traditional
dynamic stiffness adjustment is realized by connecting a primary
air chamber with a secondary
air chamber, and adjusting a throttling port on a passage between the primary
air chamber and the secondary air chamber to change the
pressure difference when air flows between the primary air chamber and the secondary air chamber. The stiffness adjustment
system does not change the volume of the air chambers in an adjustment process, thus the difficulty for adjust the stiffness is big. Aiming at the problems, the invention develops the novel air spring. The air spring provided by the invention has the advantages of adjustability for static /
dynamic stiffness, simple structure, low cost and convenience and practicality.
