Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of air suspension gas storage tanks, and in particular to an integral air suspension gas storage tank. Background Art

[0002] In the automotive field, in order to increase the comfort of the suspension, the comfort of the suspension is adjusted by adding air suspension. The air suspension can adjust the height and hardness of the suspension, which greatly increases the passability and comfort of the car. The air suspension is essentially an inflatable and deflated rubber cylinder, which requires a corresponding gas tank to provide it with gas for inflation and deflation.

[0003] Most of the existing air suspension gas tanks are three-section welded structures, that is, the tank body is formed by a tank body and cans welded at both ends of the tank body. The welding thickness between the tank body and the can cannot be ensured, and there may be defects, which tests the welding level. The structural connection performance of the connection between the tank body and the can is low. At the same time, the fasteners of the tank body are only fixed on the periphery of the tank body. The tank body may slip off the fasteners, which may eventually affect the safety of the vehicle. Summary of the invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an integral air suspension air storage tank to solve the problem that the air storage tank may be dangerous.

[0005] Based on the technical problems existing in the background technology, the present invention proposes an integral air suspension air storage tank, including a pill-shaped tank body, with air nozzles arranged at both ends of the tank body, a connector for connecting an air pipe installed on the air nozzle, and a fixing part connected to the outer side of the tank body.

[0006] Preferably, the can body comprises a can body and a can tip, the two can tips are integrated with the can body, and the can tip is formed into a hemispherical shape by high-temperature extrusion.

[0007] Preferably, the middle portion of the can body has an inwardly sunken annular groove, and a fixing piece is wrapped around the inner ring of the annular groove.

[0008] Preferably, the fixing member comprises a metal belt and a mounting seat, one end of the metal belt is connected to the mounting seat, and the other end of the metal belt is fixed to the mounting seat by bolts.

[0009] Preferably, the can body is provided with a plurality of reinforcement members, and two ends of the reinforcement members are respectively connected to two sides of the annular groove.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the integrated air suspension air storage tank proposed by the present invention adopts the above technical solution and achieves the following technical effects:

[0011] The entire tank body in the present invention is integrated, which can reduce the use of welding technology and avoid the unevenness and structural instability problems caused by welding. The fixing part in the present invention can be restricted by the annular groove, which can prevent the tank body from being separated from the fixing part, thereby improving safety.

[0016] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "fixed" and the like should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral one; it can be a mechanical connection, an electrical connection, or communication with each other; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly defined. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0017] In the present invention, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, a first feature being "above" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first and second features are in direct contact, or the first and second features are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Moreover, a first feature being "above", "above" or "above" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly above or obliquely above the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is higher in level than the second feature. A first feature being "below", "below" or "below" a second feature may mean that the first feature is directly below or obliquely below the second feature, or simply means that the first feature is lower in level than the second feature.

[0018] Embodiment 1

[0019] Please refer to Figure 1The present invention proposes an integral air storage tank for air suspension, including a pill-shaped tank body 1, gas nozzles 2 are arranged at both ends of the tank body 1, a connector 3 for connecting an air pipe is installed on the gas nozzle 2, and a fixing part 4 is connected to the outer side of the tank body 1; the tank body 1 includes a tank body 11 and a can 12, and the two cans 12 are integrated with the tank body 11, and the cans 12 are formed into a hemispherical shape by high-temperature extrusion. In this scheme, the tank body 1 is manufactured in one piece, that is, through a metal hollow tube body, the two ends are heated, and then extruded through an arc-shaped mold, so that the two ends of the tube body form a hemispherical shape with a gas nozzle 2, and there is no welding seam between the can 12 and the tank body 11, which can improve the integrity of the tank body 1 and avoid the probability of the gas pressure in the tank body 1 damaging the tank body 1.

[0020] In a specific embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The middle part of the tank body 11 has an inward-facing annular groove 111, and the inner ring of the annular groove 111 is wrapped with a fixing part 4. Two inward-facing annular grooves 111 are provided on the periphery of the tank body 11, which are used for installing the fixing part 4. Even if the fixing part 4 is loosened in time, the tank body 1 will not be separated from the fastener, thereby improving safety.
