Abstract

An air spring device comprising: an air spring (4) having a gas-filled air spring defined by an upper panel (1), a lower panel (2) and a tubular flexible membrane body (3) airtightly connecting the panels inside; a support plate (5) arranged at a given distance from one of the upper panel (1) and the lower panel (2) of the air spring (4); and an elastic body (6) connected to the support plate (5) and the above-mentioned one of the upper panel (1) and the lower panel (2). The elastic body (6) is provided with a recess (7) in the central region of the surface adjacent to the support plate (5), and the recess (7) is concave to one of the upper panel (1) and the lower panel (2). The elastic body (6) is surrounded and restrained by an annular body (8) provided on the support plate (5) on the side of the support plate (5). The above-mentioned one of the upper panel (1) and the lower panel (2) is provided with a protruding portion (9) protruding toward the inner side of the annular body (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an air spring device, in particular for use in railway vehicles, comprising: an air spring having a filling chamber defined by an upper panel, a lower panel and a cylindrical flexible membrane airtightly connecting the panels. an interior with gas; a support plate; and an elastic body connecting one of the upper panel and the lower panel to the support plate. In particular, the present invention proposes a technology for such an air spring device that exhibits soft spring characteristics in the vertical direction to ensure high ride comfort even if the air spring leaks due to punctures, etc. A large input force in the direction reduces durability. Background technique [0002] Due to the relatively long distance between railway yards, for example, railway vehicles used in Europe, especially railway vehicles used for high-speed railways, even if the air spring of the air spring device used between the car body and the b...
