For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0035] Refer to the following Figures 1 to 3 An air spring dust cover and an installation method thereof according to some embodiments of the present application are described.
[0036] The present application provides an air spring dust cover, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air spring dust cover includes a dust cover body 1, which is used to be mounted on the outside of the air spring, and the first end of the dust cover body 1 in the length direction is connected to the casing 2 of the air spring; when the air spring is mounted on the shock absorber 3, the second end of the dust cover body 1 in the length direction is connected to the shock absorber 3, so that a closed space is formed between the casing 2 and the shock absorber 3 through the dust cover to prevent mud, sand and gravel outside the air spring from entering the interior of the air spring and aggravating the wear of the bladder skin of the air spring.
[0037] For the connection between the dust cover body 1 and the shock absorber 3, a tray 31 is provided on the outer wall of the shock absorber 3 so as to protrude around the circumference of the shock absorber 3. For example, the tray 31 is an annular protrusion formed on the outer wall of the shock absorber 3. A snap-fit groove 11 is formed at the second end of the dust cover body 1. When the dust cover body 1 and the shock absorber 3 are installed, the tray 31 can extend into the interior of the second end of the dust cover body 1 and snap-fit into the snap-fit groove 11, thereby completing the snap-fit connection between the dust cover body 1 and the shock absorber 3.
[0038] A reinforcing flange 12 is provided on the circumferential outer wall of the clamping groove 11, and the reinforcing flange 12 is arranged on the outer wall of the clamping groove 11 along the circumference of the clamping groove 11, so as to reinforce the strength of the outer wall of the clamping groove 11 through the reinforcing flange 12, so that the clamping groove 11 is less likely to be broken and deformed (for example, elastically deformed) than when there is no reinforcing flange 12; thus, when the dust cover body 1 is stretched or compressed to a large extent due to the operation of the air spring and the shock absorber 3, the reinforcing flange 12 can reinforce the side wall of the clamping groove 11, so that the clamping groove 11 is less likely to be broken and deformed (for example, elastically deformed). Deformation is produced, thereby preventing the tray 31 from escaping from the snap-in groove 11, ensuring the stability of the snap-in connection between the snap-in groove 11 and the tray 31, and ensuring the stability of the snap-in connection between the dust cover body 1 and the shock absorber 3; similarly, when the dust cover body 1 is stretched or compressed to a large extent due to the operation of the air spring and the shock absorber 3, the reinforcement of the side wall of the snap-in groove 11 by the reinforcing flange 12 can prevent the side wall of the snap-in groove 11 from breaking due to excessive force, thereby ensuring the integrity of the dust cover body 1, and enabling the dust cover body 1 to normally protect the air spring.
[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, the reinforcing flange 12 can be an integral ring-shaped one, so that the reinforcing flange 12 is arranged around the circumferential outer wall of the snap-in groove 11 to reinforce the strength of the outer wall of the snap-in groove 11 through the annular reinforcing flange 12.
[0040] In this embodiment, preferably, the reinforcing flange 12 may include a plurality of flange portions, and the plurality of flange portions are distributed on the circumferential outer wall of the snap-in groove 11 at intervals along the circumference of the snap-in groove 11, so as to reinforce the strength of the outer wall of the snap-in groove 11 by the plurality of flange portions arranged at intervals.
[0041] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, the snap-in slot 11 is elastic, so that the snap-in slot 11 can be elastically deformed when subjected to external force; for example, pulling the side wall of the snap-in slot 11 outward can increase the diameter of the snap-in slot 11 due to elastic deformation.
[0042] When the snap-in slot 11 is in a natural state without being subjected to external force, the diameter of the snap-in slot 11 (here, the inner diameter of the snap-in slot 11) is smaller than the diameter of the tray 31 (here, the outer diameter of the snap-in slot 11); thus, when the snap-in slot 11 is sleeved on the tray 31, the side wall of the snap-in slot 11 can be pulled by external force to increase the diameter of the snap-in slot 11, so that the snap-in slot 11 can be sleeved on the outside of the tray 31, and then the external force applied to the snap-in slot 11 is removed, and the snap-in slot 11 will restore its deformation and be tightly clamped on the tray 31, so that the tray 31 is stably and firmly clamped in the snap-in slot 11.
[0043] At the same time, by providing a reinforcing flange 12 on the outer wall of the snap-in groove 11, the snap-in groove 11 can withstand greater external force, thereby preventing the snap-in groove 11 from deforming and separating from the tray 31 due to greater stretching or compression when the dust cover body 1 protects the air spring.
[0044] Preferably, the snap-in groove 11 is integrally formed at the second end of the dust cover body 1 , and the dust cover body 1 and the snap-in groove 11 are both made of EPDM (Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer).
[0045] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the reinforcing flange 12 can be used to connect with the clamping mechanism 4; the clamping mechanism 4 can clamp the reinforcing flange 12 and drive the reinforcing flange 12 to move.
[0046] For example, the clamping mechanism 4 can apply a pulling force along the radial direction of the clamping groove 11 and toward the outside of the clamping groove 11 to the reinforcing flange 12, so that the reinforcing flange 12 moves toward the outside of the clamping groove 11, thereby causing the clamping groove 11 to undergo elastic deformation and increase the diameter of the clamping groove 11. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 4 can also drive the reinforcing flange 12 to move along the axial direction of the shock absorber 3 toward the tray 31, so that the second end of the dust cover body 1 and the clamping groove 11 move toward the direction close to the tray 31.
[0047] When the coupling groove 11 is coupled to the tray 31 on the shock absorber 3, since the diameter of the coupling groove 11 is relatively small, the reinforcing flange 12 on the side wall of the coupling groove 11 can be clamped by the clamping mechanism 4 and pulled outward to cause elastic deformation of the coupling groove 11, so that the diameter of the coupling groove 11 becomes larger than the diameter of the tray 31, thereby ensuring that the tray 31 can enter the coupling groove 11.
[0048] Then, the reinforcing flange 12 is driven by the clamping mechanism 4 to move toward the direction of the tray 31, so that the second end of the dust cover body 1 moves toward the tray 31 until it is sleeved on the outside of the tray 31, and the tray 31 is opposite to the snap-in groove 11; thereafter, the clamping mechanism 4 loosens the reinforcing flange 12, and the snap-in groove 11 can restore its deformation, tighten and snap-in to the outside of the tray 31, thereby conveniently and quickly completing the snap-in connection between the snap-in groove 11 and the tray 31.
[0049] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism 4 may include a plurality of clamping claws, which are disposed around the outside of the clamping groove 11 to clamp the reinforcing flange 12 through the plurality of clamping claws and apply a uniform pulling force to the side wall of the clamping groove 11 .
[0050] When the reinforcing flange 12 is a plurality of flange portions arranged at intervals, the plurality of clamping jaws correspond to the plurality of flange portions one by one, and the plurality of clamping jaws can clamp the corresponding flange portions respectively.
[0051] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 4 further includes a first driving assembly (not shown in the figure), the first driving assembly includes a plurality of driving ends, the plurality of driving ends are circumferentially spaced around the axis of the clamping groove 11, and the plurality of clamping claws are mounted on the plurality of driving ends in a one-to-one correspondence. The plurality of driving ends can reciprocate along the radial direction of the position, thereby driving the plurality of clamping claws and the flanged portion clamped by the clamping claws to move along the radial direction of the clamping groove 11.
[0052] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 4 further includes a second driving assembly (not shown in the figure), the first driving assembly is installed at the driving end of the second driving assembly, and the second driving assembly can drive the first driving assembly to move along the axial direction of the shock absorber 3.
[0053] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, a sleeve portion is also formed at the edge of the snap-in groove 11. When the snap-in groove 11 is snap-fitted with the tray 31, the sleeve portion is sleeved on the shock absorber 3 and is clamped to the shock absorber 3 through a clamping member, thereby further ensuring the firmness and stability of the connection between the dust cover body 1 and the shock absorber 3.
[0054] Regarding the connection between the first end of the dust cover body 1 and the sleeve 2 of the air spring, in one embodiment of the present application, preferably, as Figure 2 As shown, the first end of the dust cover body 1 is sleeved on the outside of the casing 2 and is tightly clamped on the casing 2 by a clamp, thereby ensuring the stability of the connection between the dust cover body 1 and the casing 2, so that the dust cover body 1 will not be detached from the casing 2 when the dust cover body 1 is stretched or compressed to a large extent.
[0055] Preferably, if Figure 1 As shown, a mounting groove 13 is provided on the outer side wall of the first end of the dust cover body 1, and the mounting groove 13 is annular and is arranged on the outer side wall of the first end of the dust cover body 1 along the circumferential direction of the dust cover body 1; when the first end of the dust cover body 1 is sleeved on the outside of the protective tube 2, the mounting groove 13 is opposite to the protective tube 2, and when the protective tube 2 and the dust cover body 1 are clamped by the clamp, the clamp is embedded in the mounting groove 13, so that the clamp is not easy to detach from the dust cover body 1, and then the first end of the dust cover body 1 can be stably and firmly clamped on the protective tube 2 through the clamp.
[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, Figure 1As shown, a vent hole 14 is provided on the dust cover body 1, and the vent hole 14 is located at one end of the dust cover body 1 close to the snap-in groove 11. The interior of the dust cover body 1 can be connected to the external environment through the vent hole 14, so that the dust cover body 1 can be stretched or contracted smoothly.
[0057] Preferably, there are a plurality of vent holes 14 , and the plurality of vent holes 14 are spaced apart and distributed along the circumferential direction of the dust cover body 1 .
[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, preferably, Figure 1 As shown, the dust cover body 1 is in the shape of a bellows, and the waveforms thereon enable the dust cover to be stretched or compressed when the air spring and the shock absorber 3 are working.
[0059] Preferably, the waveform on the dust cover body 1 is U-shaped or V-shaped.
[0060] Preferably, the waveform on the dust cover main body 1 includes multiple large waveforms and multiple small waveforms, the large waveform is a waveform with larger peaks and troughs, and the small waveform is a waveform with smaller peaks and troughs, and the multiple large waveforms and the multiple small waveforms are distributed alternately in sequence, so as to meet the telescopic working conditions and make the dust cover main body 1 have a stronger recovery ability.
[0061] The present application also provides an air spring dust cover installation method, comprising the following steps:
[0062] Step 100: sleeve the dust cover body on the outside of the air spring, and fix the first end of the dust cover body on the sleeve of the air spring by using a clamp;
