[0039] Reference will now be made in detail to specific embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. Although the present invention will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments, it will be understood that it is not intended to limit the present invention to the embodiments described. On the contrary, it is intended to cover changes, modifications and equivalents included in the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims. It should be noted that the method steps described herein can all be implemented by any functional block or functional arrangement, and any functional block or functional arrangement can be implemented as a physical entity or a logical entity, or a combination of the two.

[0040] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0041] Note: The example to be introduced below is only a specific example, and is not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention to the following specific steps, values, conditions, data, sequences, etc. Those skilled in the art can apply the concept of the present invention to construct more embodiments not mentioned in this specification by reading this specification.

[0042] Currently, conventional faults of the air suspension distribution valve can be identified by the underlying circuit, but the underlying circuit cannot identify unconventional faults of the air suspension distribution valve.

[0043] First, please refer to Figure 1 The present application provides a method for diagnosing a fault of an air suspension distribution valve, which specifically comprises the following steps:

[0044] Step S1, when a vehicle height adjustment request instruction is received, obtaining an air spring adjustment condition;

[0045] Step S2, when the air spring is inflated or deflated and the suspension height rises or falls, control monitoring to obtain the suspension height change condition and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value change condition;

[0046] Step S3, obtaining the abnormal fault condition of the distribution valve by obtaining the change condition of the suspension height and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline, wherein the abnormal fault of the distribution valve includes the blockage of the distribution valve that cannot be identified by the underlying circuit, the non-response of the distribution valve, etc.

[0047] The air suspension distribution valve fault diagnosis method provided in the present application can make up for the distribution valve fault limitation problem identified by the underlying circuit, so that during the use of the air suspension, the distribution valve blockage and the inability to open faults can be quickly and accurately identified, and the driver can be reminded in time to avoid driving safety risks.

[0048] In one embodiment, the air spring adjustment working condition includes the air spring inflation and deflation working condition and the currently acting inflation and deflation components. The air spring inflation working condition includes inflation of the air spring and deflation of the air spring, and the current inflation and deflation components include an air pump, an air tank or an air deflation valve. More specifically, the air spring adjustment working condition specifically includes the following working conditions:

[0049] 1) The air pump inflates the air spring;

[0050] 2) The air tank inflates the air spring;

[0051] 3) The air relief valve releases air from the air spring.

[0052] In one embodiment, different methods for judging the unconventional faults of the distribution valve are provided for different working conditions of the air spring being inflated or deflated. When the air spring is inflated or deflated and the suspension height rises or falls, the control monitoring step of obtaining the working condition of the suspension height change and the working condition of the distribution valve pipeline pressure value change specifically includes the following steps:

[0053] When the air spring is inflated, if the change value of the suspension height is continuously less than the preset change value and substantially unchanged, and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline is continuously greater than the upper pressure limit setting value, it is determined that an abnormal fault exists in the air suspension distribution valve;

[0054] When the air spring is deflated, the suspension height change value is continuously less than the preset change value and basically remains unchanged, and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value is continuously less than the pressure lower limit setting value, it is determined that an abnormal fault exists in the air suspension distribution valve.

[0055] In one embodiment, different methods for judging the abnormal fault of the distribution valve are provided for different currently acting inflation and deflation components when the air spring is inflated. When the suspension height change value is continuously less than the preset change value and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value is continuously greater than the upper pressure limit setting value when the air spring is inflated, the steps for judging that the air suspension distribution valve has an abnormal fault specifically include the following steps:

[0056] When the air pump inflates the air spring, if the change value of the suspension height is less than the preset change value and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline is greater than the first upper limit pressure setting value (e.g. 15 bar), it is determined that the air suspension distribution valve has an abnormal fault;

[0057] When the air tank inflates the air spring, when the suspension height change value is less than the preset change value, the distribution valve pipeline pressure value is greater than the second upper limit pressure setting value (for example, 12 bar), and this state lasts for a first preset time, it is determined that the air suspension distribution valve has an abnormal fault.

[0058] In one embodiment, the first upper limit pressure setting value is greater than the second upper limit pressure setting value to accommodate differences in the inflation capacities of the air pump and the air storage tank.

[0059] More specifically, a method for determining an unconventional fault of a distribution valve is provided for when the air spring is deflated. When the air spring is deflated, the change value of the suspension height is continuously less than the preset change value, and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline is continuously less than the lower limit setting value of the pressure, the steps of determining that an unconventional fault exists in the air suspension distribution valve specifically include the following steps:

[0060] When the air release valve releases air to the air spring, the suspension height change value is less than the preset change value, the distribution valve pipeline pressure value is less than the lower pressure limit setting value (for example, 1 bar), and this state lasts for a second preset time, it is determined that the air suspension distribution valve has an abnormal fault.

[0061] In one embodiment, when the air spring is inflated or deflated and the suspension height rises or falls, after the step of controlling and monitoring to obtain the suspension height change condition and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value change condition, the following steps are also included:

[0062] When it is obtained that any of the currently functioning inflation and deflation components or the distribution valve is closed, the control exits the monitoring state of the suspension height change condition and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value change condition. Specifically: 1) When the air pump inflates the air spring and the suspension height rises, when the air pump switch signal and the air spring distribution valve switch signal inside the suspension controller are both turned on, the suspension controller enters the monitoring state. At this time, the suspension controller monitors the height value and pressure value. If the height is basically unchanged, and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value rises very quickly and reaches the set upper limit (such as 15bar), the suspension controller determines that the air distribution valve is faulty and reports a distribution valve fault signal. During the monitoring process, if either the air pump or the distribution valve is closed, the monitoring state is exited; 2) When the air tank inflates the air spring and the suspension height rises, when the air tank switch signal and the air spring distribution valve switch signal inside the suspension controller are both turned on, the suspension controller enters the monitoring state. At this time, the suspension controller monitors the height value and pressure value. If the height does not change and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline is higher than the set value (such as 12bar) for a period of time, the suspension controller determines that the air distribution valve is faulty and reports a distribution valve fault signal. During the monitoring process, if the air tank or the distribution valve is closed, the monitoring state is exited; 3) When the air release valve releases air to the air spring and the suspension height is reduced, the air release valve switch signal and the air spring distribution valve switch signal inside the suspension controller are both open, and the suspension controller enters the monitoring state. If the suspension height does not change and the pressure value of the distribution valve pipeline is lower than the set value (1bar) for a period of time, the suspension controller determines that the air distribution valve is faulty and reports a distribution valve fault signal. During the monitoring process, if the air release valve or the distribution valve is closed, the monitoring state is exited.

[0063] Second, please refer to Figure 2The present application provides an air suspension distribution valve fault diagnosis system, including an adjustment condition acquisition module 100, a monitoring module 200, and a distribution valve fault diagnosis module 300. The adjustment condition acquisition module 100 is used to obtain the air spring adjustment condition; the monitoring module 200 is connected in communication with the adjustment condition acquisition module, and is used to control and monitor the change condition of the suspension height and the change condition of the distribution valve pipeline pressure value when the air spring is inflated or deflated and the suspension height rises or falls; the distribution valve fault diagnosis module 300 is connected in communication with the monitoring module, and is used to obtain the unconventional fault condition of the distribution valve by obtaining the change condition of the rated suspension height and the distribution valve pipeline pressure value. The air suspension distribution valve fault diagnosis system provided in the present application can make up for the distribution valve fault limitation problem identified by the underlying circuit, so that the air suspension can quickly and accurately identify the distribution valve blockage and the failure to open faults during use, and promptly remind the driver to avoid driving safety risks.

[0064] In one embodiment, if Figure 3 As shown, the adjustment working condition acquisition module is implemented as an air pump switch valve, an air tank switch valve, and an air release valve switch valve.

The distribution valve fault diagnosis module is implemented as a suspension controller.

[0065] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 4 The monitoring module 200 includes an inflation condition monitoring submodule 210 and a deflation condition monitoring submodule 220.
