[0037] Specifically, Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig.10 As shown, the built-in upper limit mechanism is fixedly installed in the bag cavity of the airbag structure. The built-in upper limit mechanism is used to limit the length of the bag cavity. By limiting the length of the bag cavity of the airbag structure through the built-in upper limit mechanism, it can effectively avoid the risk of the bag skin 6 being separated from the base 13, the bag skin 6 being infinitely elongated to cause the bag cavity to be too large, the bag skin 6 being folded, and the vehicle being tilted, thereby effectively improving the use quality of the air suspension and improving the safety of vehicle driving; wherein, the built-in upper limit mechanism includes: a limit rope 9, an upper limit pull ring 8 and a limit column 14, the limit rope 9 is a folded ring with both ends in the same direction (such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown in the figure, the upper limit pull ring 8 is fixedly arranged at the top position of the inner side of the airbag structure, the upper limit pull ring 8 is located at the bottom end of the upper cover plate 1, and two upper bolts 2 are symmetrically arranged at the top of the upper cover plate 1.
