Abstract
Description
Technical Field

[0002] Currently, air suspension systems are widely used in commercial vehicles such as large buses and heavy trucks. Air suspension systems mainly use air springs to absorb small vibrations, thereby improving the comfort of users when riding in the vehicle. By controlling the pressure of the air springs, the height of the vehicle can be adjusted to a predetermined height, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability.
[0003] Existing air suspension systems generally achieve exhaust of compressed air supply facilities by controlling the on and off of pneumatic exhaust solenoid valves. Among them, most pneumatic exhaust valves are two-position three-way solenoid valves, which can control the pressure of the pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve to be converted from the ambient atmosphere to the pressure in the air spring / compressed air storage. As a result, the pressure in the corresponding chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve suddenly changes when the two-position three-way solenoid valve is turned on, causing impact on the preloaded spring, affecting the service life of the pneumatic exhaust valve, and reducing the exhaust reliability of the compressed air supply facilities and the air suspension system.

[0043] Currently, compressed air supply facilities are widely used in commercial vehicles such as large buses and heavy trucks. Compressed air supply facilities mainly use air springs to absorb tiny vibrations, thereby improving the comfort of users when riding in the vehicle. By controlling the pressure of the air springs, the height of the vehicle can be adjusted to a predetermined height, thereby improving the vehicle's driving stability.
[0044] Existing compressed air supply facilities generally achieve exhaust of compressed air supply facilities by controlling the on and off of a pneumatic exhaust solenoid valve, wherein one end of the pneumatic exhaust valve is always connected to an air spring and / or a compressed air storage device, causing the pressure in the corresponding chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve to change with the change of the pressure in the air spring and / or the compressed air storage device. This places a high demand on the spring preload force of the pneumatic exhaust valve, affecting the service life of the pneumatic exhaust valve and reducing the exhaust reliability of the compressed air supply facility.
[0045] Based on the above situation, an embodiment of the present invention provides a compressed air supply facility, a control method, an air suspension system, a controller and a storage medium. According to the technical solution of an embodiment of the present invention, the compressed air supply facility is connected to one end of the exhaust solenoid valve through an air spring module, the other end of the exhaust solenoid valve is connected to the first interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve, the second interface and the third interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve are connected, and the fourth interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve is connected to the gas port. The exhaust solenoid valve is used to control the high-pressure gas of the air spring module to flow to the pneumatic exhaust valve so that the first interface is connected to the second interface, and the third interface is connected to the fourth interface, so that the high-pressure gas is discharged from the gas port. The exhaust solenoid valve is set as a two-position two-way solenoid valve and is placed between the pneumatic exhaust valve and the air spring module. When the exhaust solenoid valve is closed and the pneumatic exhaust valve stops exhausting, a certain residual pressure can be retained. On the one hand, the sudden change of the pre-control pressure chamber pressure when the exhaust solenoid valve is opened next time is reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the spring; on the other hand, the pressure can be quickly reduced, thereby increasing the exhaust speed.
[0046] The embodiments of the present invention are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, Figure 1 1 is an air circuit state diagram of a compressed air supply facility 100 applied to an air suspension system 1000 provided in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] In some embodiments, the compressed air supply facility 100 includes: a gas port 1 connected to the surrounding environment, a pneumatic exhaust valve 13, an exhaust solenoid valve 12 and an air spring module 300, wherein the gas port 1 is used for the compressed air supply facility 100 to inhale air from the external environment and exhaust air to the external environment, the air spring module 300 is used to control the pressure of the air spring so that the height of the vehicle can be adjusted to a predetermined height, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 and the exhaust solenoid valve 12 are used to control the intake and exhaust of the air spring module 300; the air spring module 300 is connected to one end of the exhaust solenoid valve 12, and the other end of the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is connected to the first connection of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. The first and second interfaces of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 are connected, and the fourth interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is connected to the gas port 1; the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is used to control the high-pressure gas of the air spring module 300 to flow to the pneumatic exhaust valve 13, so that the first interface is connected to the second interface, and the third interface is connected to the fourth interface, so that the high-pressure gas is discharged from the gas port 1. The exhaust solenoid valve 12 has the function of pre-controlling the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. It can only be opened when the pressure in the system is sufficient. The compressed air is discharged into the surrounding environment after the gas drying treatment of the drying part 3; in addition, when the pressure in the system exceeds the safety pressure, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 will also open to discharge the high-pressure air to the environment to ensure the safety of the system.
[0049] refer to Figure 1 The air suspension system 1000 has a compressed air supply facility 100 , an air tank 9 serving as a compressed air storage device, and air springs 15 , 16 , 17 , and 18 .
[0050] The compressed air supply facility 100 comprises:
[0051] A gas port 1 communicating with the environment;
[0052] An air compression unit 2 for providing compressed air;
[0053] A drying section 3 for drying compressed air, the drying section 3 being connected to the air compression section 2;
[0054] a one-way valve 4 for preventing the compressed gas from flowing back into the drying section 3;
[0055] Air spring valves 5, 6, 7, and 8 for controlling the compressed air in and out of the front air springs 15 and 16, and the rear axle air springs 17 and 18, respectively;
[0056] A first reversing solenoid valve 10 for controlling the flow of compressed air into and out of the air storage tank 9;
[0057] A second reversing solenoid valve 11 for allowing the high-pressure gas in the gas storage tank 9 to flow back to the air compression unit 2;
[0058] A two-position, two-way exhaust solenoid valve 12 and a pneumatic exhaust valve 13 are used to control the exhaust of compressed air in the system to the environment.
[0059] In some embodiments, in order to realize the compressed air storage function of the air suspension system 1000, the air tank 9 is connected to the main line of the high-pressure stage 2.2 outlet of the air compression part 2 of the compressed air supply facility 100 through the air tank reversing gas path where the second reversing solenoid valve 11 is located. In order to realize the secondary compression of the gas, the air compression part 2 includes a low-pressure stage 2.1 and a high-pressure stage 2.2. The exhaust port of the low-pressure stage 2.1 and the air inlet of the high-pressure stage 2.2 are connected by default. The low-pressure stage 2.1 is used to compress the air for the first time, and the high-pressure stage 2.2 is used to compress the air for the second time. In order to replenish the compressed gas to the air spring group 300, the air spring valves 5, 6, 7, and 8 are located in the air. The air spring circuit is connected not only to the main air circuit where the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 and the exhaust solenoid valve 12 are located, but also to the reversing circuit where the air tank 9 is located through the air circuit node 200; in order to realize the deflation function of the air spring module 300, the air spring module 300 is also connected to the deflation circuit where the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is located through the node 200, and finally connected to the gas port 1 through the pneumatic exhaust valve 13; in order to achieve compression enhancement and quickly inflate the air spring module 300, the air tank 9 is connected to the first reversing solenoid valve 10, so that the high-pressure gas in the air tank 9 can come to the high-pressure stage 2.2 inlet of the air compression part 2 again, and then be sent to the air spring module 300 after compression.
[0060] In some embodiments, the compressed air supply facility 100 pre-controls the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 through the exhaust solenoid valve 12, wherein the exhaust solenoid valve 12 acts as a pre-control valve. The facility is characterized in that only a relatively low force is required to adjust the pneumatic exhaust valve 13, thereby resulting in less loss of operating force of the pre-control valve; at the same time, the exhaust diameter can be increased and the exhaust noise can be reduced.
[0061] In some embodiments, the exhaust solenoid valve 12 in the present application is a two-position, two-way exhaust solenoid valve, which acts as a pre-control solenoid valve in the compressed air supply facility 100, can effectively ensure the controllability and reliability of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 and further improve the compactness of the structure of the compressed air supply facility 100, making the structure of the compressed air supply facility 100 simple and effective.
[0062] In some embodiments, the pre-control solenoid valve in the prior art uses a two-position three-way solenoid valve to convert the pre-control pressure chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 from being connected to the environment to being connected to the air spring and / or the compressed air reservoir, resulting in a change in the pre-control pressure, thereby controlling the on and off of the pneumatic exhaust solenoid valve 12; however, the other end of the pre-control pressure (the second pre-control pressure chamber) is always connected to the air spring and / or the compressed air reservoir, which will cause the pressure of the second pre-control pressure chamber to change with the change of the pressure in the air spring and / or the compressed air reservoir. When the pressure in the second pre-control pressure chamber is too high, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 may be opened in an uncontrollable manner, or a pre-compression spring with extremely high stiffness may need to be designed to generate sufficient pre-compression, so that the size of the spring is too large. The air pressure in the air spring and / or the compressed air storage tank 9 is increased, and the volume of the entire pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is increased, which affects the compactness of the compressed air supply facility 100 and the reliability of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. The pneumatic exhaust valve 13 in the present application is a two-position, two-way exhaust solenoid valve 12. The first pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is always kept in communication with the ambient atmosphere. One end of the two-position, two-way solenoid valve is connected to the air spring and / or the compressed air storage tank 9, and the other end is connected to the second pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. By controlling the on and off of the exhaust solenoid valve 12, the high-pressure air of the air spring and / or the air storage tank 9 can be sent to the second pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 to counteract the atmospheric pressure and the preload spring of the first pre-control chamber, so that the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is opened to realize the deflation process of the system.
[0063] Among them, the first pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 corresponds to the fourth interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 mentioned in this application, and the second pre-control chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 corresponds to the first interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 mentioned in this application. The first pre-control chamber maintains the pressure unchanged, and the second pre-control chamber is connected to the air spring and / or the air tank 9 through a two-position exhaust solenoid valve. The second interface and the third interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 are connected, and the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is controlled by the on-off control of the exhaust solenoid valve 12 to realize the deflation process of the compressed air supply facility 100, and the high-pressure gas of the air spring module 300 is controlled to flow to the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 so that the first interface is connected to the second interface, and the third interface is connected to the fourth interface, so that the high-pressure gas is discharged from the gas port 1. The exhaust solenoid valve is a two-position two-way exhaust solenoid valve, which can enable the pneumatic exhaust valve to retain a certain residual pressure, reduce the pressure surge caused by the opening of the exhaust solenoid valve, increase the life of the exhaust solenoid valve, and reduce the spring stiffness and size requirements, save space, and simplify the structure and production difficulty of the pre-control solenoid valve.
[0064] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 The exhaust solenoid valve 12 and the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 of the compressed air supply facility 100 are in a closed state, corresponding to the inflation process of the air spring module 300 in the compressed air supply facility 100, refer to Figure 2, Figure 2 The exhaust solenoid valve 12 and the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 of the compressed air supply facility 100 are in a connected state, corresponding to the exhaust process of the air spring module 300 in the compressed air supply facility 100. The pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is opened under the control of the exhaust solenoid valve 12, and the first interface A1 and the second interface A2 and the fourth interface B2 and the third interface B1 are all connected. The compressed air in the air spring passes through the exhaust solenoid valve 12 and flows from A1 to A2, and then passes through the throttle valve 14 to the outlet of the drying section 3. After passing through the drying section 3 to take away the water vapor therein, it flows to the fourth interface B2 through the third interface B1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 and is discharged into the environment. Among them, one end of the throttle valve 14 is connected to the second interface A2, the other end of the throttle valve 14 is connected to one end of the drying section 3, and the other end of the drying section 3 is connected to the third interface B1.
[0065] In some embodiments, a throttle valve 14 and a drying section 3 are sequentially arranged on the air path from the second interface to the third interface. The second interface is connected to the air path between the drying section 3 and the one-way valve 4 through the throttle valve 14. The compressed air supply facility 100 also includes an air compression section 2. The gas inlet of the air compression section 2 is connected to the gas port 1, and the gas outlet of the air compression section 2 is connected to the air spring module 300. The drying section 3 and the one-way valve 4 are sequentially arranged on the air path from the high-pressure gas in the air compression section 2 to the air spring module 300.
[0066] Specifically, the air spring module 300 is connected to the air compression part 2 through the first air circuit, and is connected to the gas port 1 through the second air circuit. The first air circuit is provided with a drying part 3 and a one-way valve 4. The first air circuit is the inflation air circuit of the compressed air supply facility 100. The second air circuit is provided with a pneumatic exhaust valve 13 and an exhaust solenoid valve 12. The second air circuit is the exhaust air circuit of the compressed air supply facility 100. During the exhaust process of the compressed air supply facility 100, the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is connected so that the first interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is connected with the second interface, and the third interface is connected with the fourth interface. The second interface and the third interface are respectively connected to the two ends of the drying part 3, so that the gas in the air spring module 300 passes through the exhaust solenoid valve 12, the first interface A1, the second interface A2, the drying part 3, the third interface B1 and the fourth interface B2 in sequence, and is discharged from the gas port 1.
[0067] In some embodiments, in the compressed air supply facility 100, the gas port 1 is the only inlet and outlet of the compressed air supply facility 100 connected to the environment; the air compression unit 2 is used to provide compressed air; the drying unit 3 is used to dry the compressed air; the one-way valve 4 is used to prevent the compressed gas from flowing back to the drying unit 3, and the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is a two-position two-way switch solenoid valve. Figure 1During the inflation process of the compressed air supply facility 100, the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is disconnected, the first interface is disconnected from the second interface, the third interface is disconnected from the fourth interface, and the one-way valve 4 is arranged between the drying section 3 and the air spring module 300. The one-way valve 4 is used to allow the gas to flow from the drying section 3 to the air spring module 300 in one direction, so that the gas inhaled by the gas port 1 flows to the air spring module 300 through the air compression section 2, the drying section 3 and the one-way valve 4 in sequence.
[0068] In some embodiments, the interior of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 chamber always maintains the ambient pressure P0, the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is connected to the first interface A1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13, and the first interface A1 is also the pre-control interface of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. The exhaust solenoid valve 12 provides the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 with a control pressure PS. The internal chamber of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is always connected to the surrounding environment through the gas port 1 to ensure that the internal pressure is the ambient pressure P0. During the exhaust period of the compressed air supply facility 100, the control pressure PS is independent of the pressure at the outlet of the drying section 3, and the compressed air pressure from the first interface A1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 has a pre-control effect on the pneumatic exhaust valve 13.
[0069] Among them, the pressure of the drying rear path 21.3 in the compressed air supply facility 100 does not generate force on the pneumatic exhaust valve 13, and the pressure in the drying front path 21.2 has an effective area in the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 that is smaller than the effective area of the exhaust route 22, which can effectively ensure that the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 stably discharges high-pressure gas.
[0070] In some embodiments, the third interface is respectively connected to the gas outlet and the drying section 3, and the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 is used to connect the third interface with the fourth interface when the pre-control pressure at the third interface is greater than the pressure threshold, so that the high-pressure gas at the gas outlet is discharged from the gas port 1.
[0071] refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3This is an air circuit state diagram of a compressed air supply facility 100 applied to an air suspension system 1000 during high-pressure protection, provided by another embodiment of the present invention. The air compression unit 2 is a two-stage compression unit, which includes a first pressure stage 2.1 and a second pressure stage 2.2. The first pressure stage 2.1 is the low-pressure stage of the two-stage compression unit, and the second pressure stage 2.2 is the high-pressure stage of the two-stage compression unit. The exhaust port of the first pressure stage is connected to the air inlet of the second pressure stage. The third interface is connected to the air circuit between the gas outlet of the high-pressure stage and the drying unit 3. The fourth interface is connected to the air circuit between the gas inlet of the low-pressure stage and the gas port 1. When the pre-control pressure at the third interface is greater than the high-pressure protection threshold, the third interface is connected to the fourth interface. So that the gas discharged from the high-pressure stage gas outlet is discharged from the gas port 1. Specifically, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 starts the high-pressure protection function for the compressed air supply facility 100 during the period when the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is closed. The dry front path 21.2 between the high-pressure stage outlet and the inlet of the drying section 3 provides a pre-control pressure PD for the third interface B1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. During the safety protection process of the compressed air supply facility 100, the first interface A1 and the second interface A2 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 are cut off, and only the third interface B1 and the fourth interface B2 are connected. The high-pressure air in the system will be directly discharged into the environment to ensure the safety of the system and prevent the high-pressure gas from entering the air spring module 300 or the gas tank 9, thereby protecting the safety of the system.
[0072] In some embodiments, the first pressure stage 2.1 is connected to the inlet and outlet gas circuit 20 via a first inlet and outlet branch gas circuit 20.1, and the fourth interface B2 is connected to the inlet and outlet gas circuit 20 via a second inlet and outlet branch gas circuit 20.1.
[0073] In some embodiments, the air spring module 300 includes an air spring control component and an air tank 9, the air spring control component includes a pressure sensor 19, multiple air springs and an air spring valve, wherein the pressure sensor 19 is used to detect pressure data and send the pressure data to the controller so that the controller controls the on and off of the air spring valve according to the pressure data. The air spring control component is connected to the air tank 9 through a first reversing solenoid valve 10, and the first reversing solenoid valve 10 is used to control the inflow and outflow of gas in the air tank 9. In order to discharge the compressed air of the air springs (15, 16, 17, 18) in the compressed air supply facility 100 into the environment, the air path where the exhaust solenoid valve 12 is located should be connected to the air path where each air spring valve (5, 6, 7, 8) is located.
[0074] In some embodiments, the air compression section 2 is a two-stage compression section, which includes a first pressure stage and a second pressure stage. The gas inlet is the air inlet of the first pressure stage, and the gas outlet is the exhaust port of the second pressure stage. The gas tank 9 is connected to the air inlet of the first pressure stage through a second reversing solenoid valve 11. The second reversing solenoid valve 11 is used to control the gas in the gas tank 9 to flow to the first pressure stage, and flow to the air spring module 300 after being compressed by the second pressure stage. The gas tank 9 is connected to the gas inlet of the high-pressure stage of the two-stage compression section through the second reversing solenoid valve 11. The second reversing solenoid valve 11 is opened to allow the gas in the gas tank 9 to flow to the air spring module 300 through the high-pressure stage, the drying section 3 and the one-way valve 4 in sequence.
[0075] Among them, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 of the present invention is also designed with a third pre-control chamber, which corresponds to the third interface B1 of the present application, is connected to the high-pressure stage outlet of the two-stage compression part, and forms a pressure difference with the pressure of the first pre-control chamber to counteract the force of the pre-compression spring. When the exhaust pressure of the compression part is too high, the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 can be directly opened by the pressure difference to achieve high-pressure protection of the suspension system, that is, the compressed air supply facility 100 obtains compressed air with a pressure of PD during the operation of the two-stage compression part, and sends it to the B1 port of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 through the drying front path 21.2 to open it. At this time, only B1 and B2 ports are connected, and A1 and A2 ports are cut off. When the high-pressure air is discharged to the environment, the safety of the system is ensured.
[0076] refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a cross-sectional view of a pneumatic exhaust valve 13 in a closed state in a compressed air supply facility 100 provided in another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 includes a pneumatic push rod 101, a low-pressure limiting spring 102 and a high-pressure limiting spring 103, the pneumatic push rod 101 is arranged between the first interface and the second interface, and the pneumatic push rod is arranged between the third interface and the fourth interface, and one end of the pneumatic push rod 101 is respectively connected to the low-pressure limiting spring 102 and the high-pressure limiting spring 103.
[0077] refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 This is a cross-sectional view of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 in the compressed air supply facility 100 provided in another embodiment of the present invention in a deflated state. During the exhaust process of the compressed air supply facility 100, the pressure of the gas in the air spring module 300 acting on the pneumatic push rod 101 is greater than the preload force and deformation force of the low-pressure limit spring 102 and the high-pressure limit spring 103 acting on the pneumatic push rod, respectively, so that the first interface is connected to the second interface, and the third interface is connected to the fourth interface. Figure 5 correspond Figure 2 The exhaust process.
[0078] In some embodiments, achieving the deflation function of the air suspension system 1000 requires the coordination of the air spring valves 5, 6, 7, and 8, the exhaust solenoid valve 12, and the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. When the compressed gas within the air spring module 300 needs to be discharged, the corresponding air spring valve opens, and the exhaust solenoid valve 12 also needs to reach the open position, delivering the compressed gas to the A1 inlet of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. Assuming the compressed air pressure within the air spring assembly is PS, when the force exerted by the PS pressure on the lower surface of the pneumatic push rod exceeds the sum of the preload and deformation forces of the low-pressure limit spring and the high-pressure limit spring, the pneumatic push rod pushes upward, connecting ports A1 and A2, and ports B1 and B2. The compressed gas passes through the throttle valve 14, where its pressure drops to ambient pressure. After passing through the drying unit 3 to absorb moisture, it reaches port B1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13, and then through port B2 to the gas vent 1, where it is discharged into the environment, thus achieving the system's exhaust function.
[0079] In some embodiments, when the pressure PS within the air spring module 300 is insufficient, the low-pressure limit spring cannot be pushed. This ensures that the compressed air within the air spring module 300 is not completely exhausted, resulting in insufficient support force of the air spring module 300 and damage to the piston within the air spring module 300. To terminate the exhaust process, simply close the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. This stops the compressed air within the air spring module 300 from being fed to port A1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13. The pneumatic exhaust valve 13 then automatically closes after exhausting the residual gas between port A1 and the exhaust solenoid valve 12, leaving a certain amount of residual pressure to facilitate rapid decompression and opening for the next exhaust.
[0080] refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a pneumatic exhaust valve 13 in a compressed air supply facility 100 provided in another embodiment of the present invention in a high-pressure protection state, wherein: Figure 6 correspond Figure 3 During the high-pressure protection process, during the inflation process of the compressed air supply facility 100, when the pressure of the gas in the air compression bag acts on the pneumatic push rod through the third interface, and is greater than the deformation force of the high-pressure limiting spring 103 acting on the pneumatic push rod 101, the third interface is connected to the fourth interface, so that the air suspension system 1000 has a certain self-safety protection capability. When the exhaust pressure P2 generated by the air compression part 2 of the compressed air supply facility 100 is too high, the high-pressure limiting spring 103 will be pushed open through B1 of the pneumatic exhaust valve 13 to connect the B1 port and the B2 port, so that the high-pressure gas is discharged into the environment, preventing the high-pressure gas from entering the air spring module 300 or the gas tank 9, and protecting the safety of the system.
