[0046] In order to more clearly understand the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of the present application, the scheme of the present application will be further described below. It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present application and the features therein can be combined with each other.

[0047] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present application, but the present application can also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; it is obvious that the embodiments in the specification are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments.

[0048] Figure 1 This is a gas circuit diagram of the air suspension control system in an embodiment of the present application. The air suspension control system includes a controller (not shown), a valve body 101, an air tank 102, a one-way flow motor 103, and a maintenance unit 104 disposed externally to the valve body 101. The maintenance unit 104 includes an exhaust valve 1042, a high-pressure dryer 1044, and a flow limiting valve 1046. The maintenance unit 104 is connected to the valve body 101 via an external explosion-proof pipe. The external explosion-proof pipe interface can be designed as a quick-disassembly structure, balancing structural compactness and installation flexibility while maintaining system functionality.

[0049] The flow limiting valve 1046 can be located outside the high-pressure dryer 1044 or inside it. Optionally, a protective frame can be provided outside the valve body 101 to secure the maintenance unit 104. A quick-connect connector can be provided on the connecting pipe between the exhaust valve 1042 and the high-pressure dryer 1044, allowing for rapid assembly and disassembly and maintenance of the exhaust valve 1042 and the high-pressure dryer 1044. The air tank 102 is used to store air.

[0050] The air suspension control system may also include a reversing valve 105, an air spring valve 106, an air spring 107, and a temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor 108. The reversing valve 105 comprises a first reversing valve 1051, a second reversing valve 1052, a third reversing valve 1053, and a fourth reversing valve 1054. The reversing valve 105 and air spring valve 106 within the valve body 101 form the main air circuit control structure, which is completely separated from the external exhaust valve and the regeneration air circuit of the high-pressure dryer.

[0051] The controller can monitor the dew point in the gas storage tank 102 and determine whether to perform drying and regeneration on the high-pressure dryer 1044 based on the dew point. For example, if the dew point in the gas storage tank 102 is detected to be high, it is considered that the drying efficiency of the high-pressure dryer 1044 is low and the high-pressure dryer 1044 needs to be dried and regenerated. Figure 2 As shown, when drying and regenerating the high-pressure dryer 1044, the controller opens the first reversing valve 1051 within the valve body 101. Using a pressure differential, the air in the air storage tank 102 is directed to flow into the atmosphere through the first reversing valve 1051, the external explosion-proof pipe, the flow limiting valve 1046, the high-pressure dryer 1044, and the exhaust valve 1042, avoiding the flow through the internal air path of the valve body 101. This prevents high-humidity gas from corroding the internal air path and components of the valve body, thereby extending component life. The exhaust valve and high-pressure dryer are located outside the valve body, facilitating replacement and maintenance.

[0052] Optionally, the controller is further configured to open the third reversing valve 1053 in the valve body during the process of venting the gas storage tank 102. When the third reversing valve 1053 is opened, the air flowing through the first reversing valve 1051 can flow through the third reversing valve 1053 to the temperature, pressure and humidity sensor 108. The temperature, pressure and humidity sensor 108 is configured to monitor the temperature, humidity and pressure in the gas circuit when the third reversing valve 1053 is opened, and to feed back the monitored temperature, humidity and pressure to the controller. In this way, the temperature, humidity and pressure in the gas circuit during the drying and regeneration process can be monitored in real time. The controller is configured to perform a backflush operation when it is determined that the humidity of the gas is greater than a preset threshold.

[0053] Optionally, the air suspension control system further includes: a load valve, which is a solenoid valve for inflating an external load, one end of which is connected to the motor 103 and the other end is connected to the external load interface; the load valve is used to provide an inflation function for an external load (such as a tire, a seat, etc.) and control the on-off of the external air circuit. Figure 3 As shown, the air suspension control system further includes a load valve 109, one end of which is connected to the motor 103 and the other end is connected to the interface of the external load 110. Optionally, the diameters of the pipes connecting the external load to the load valve and the pipe connecting the load valve to the motor can be adapted to the maximum inflation flow rate of the external load, and the inner wall of the air path is smooth to reduce gas flow resistance.

[0054] The controller is configured to obtain the pressure of the gas tank 102 when inflating the external load 110, determine the air path used to inflate the external load 110 based on the pressure of the gas tank 102 and the type of the external load 110, and control the flow of air into the external load via the motor and load valve in the air path. In the embodiment of the present application, the air source for inflating the external load includes the atmosphere and the air in the gas tank 102. The air path to be used can be selected based on the pressure of the gas tank 102 and the type of the external load 110. The air paths used can include: a separate atmospheric air path, a separate gas tank air path, or a combination of a gas tank air path and an atmospheric air path.

[0055] In some embodiments, the controller is specifically used to determine that the air circuit used for inflating the external load is the atmospheric air circuit when the pressure of the air tank is less than the preset pressure, that is, when the air in the air tank is less, the atmosphere can be used to inflate the external load 110 first. Otherwise, when the pressure of the air tank is greater than or equal to the preset pressure, the air circuit used can be further selected in combination with the type of external load, that is, different external loads can meet different air supply requirements. For example, when the type of the external load is a preset type, the air circuit used for inflating the external load is determined to be the air tank air circuit; when the pressure of the air tank is greater than or equal to the preset pressure and the type of the external load is not a preset type, the air circuit used for inflating the external load is determined to be the air tank air circuit and the atmospheric air circuit. For example, the air tank air circuit can be used first, and then the atmospheric air circuit; or, the atmospheric air circuit can be used first, and then the air tank air circuit.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, the controller is specifically configured to, upon determining that the air path used for inflating the external load is the air tank path, open the second reversing valve 1052 within the valve body 101 to control the flow of air from the air tank 102 to the external load 110 via the second reversing valve 1052, the motor 103, and the load valve 109. The controller is also configured to open the third reversing valve 1053 within the valve body 101 during the process of inflating the external load using the air tank path. As can be seen, air flowing through the motor 103 can pass through the high-pressure dryer 1044, the flow limiting valve 1046, and the third reversing valve 1053 to the temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor 108. The temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor 108 is configured to monitor the temperature, humidity, and pressure in the air path when the third reversing valve 1053 is open and to feed the monitored temperature, humidity, and pressure back to the controller. The controller is also configured to perform a backflush operation upon determining that the humidity of the gas exceeds a preset threshold.

[0057] like Figure 4As shown, the air suspension control system also includes a low-pressure dryer 111 disposed outside the valve body. When low-pressure dryer 111 is configured to inflate an external load, it minimizes the risk of corrosion damage to internal metal components caused by the high-humidity atmospheric air supply not being dried during intake. The controller is specifically configured to, upon determining that the air path used for inflating the external load is the atmospheric air path, control the flow of atmospheric air through the low-pressure dryer 111, the motor 103, and the load valve 109 to enter the external load 110. The controller is also configured to open the third reversing valve 1053 within the valve body during the process of inflating the external load using the atmospheric air path. As can be seen, air flowing through the motor 103 can pass through the high-pressure dryer 1044, the flow limiting valve 1046, and the third reversing valve 1053 to the temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor 108. The temperature, pressure, and humidity sensor 108 is configured to monitor the temperature, humidity, and pressure in the air path when the third reversing valve 1053 is open, and to feed the monitored temperature, humidity, and pressure back to the controller. The controller is configured to perform a backflush operation when it is determined that the humidity of the gas is greater than a preset threshold.

[0058] Optionally, the controller is also used to set the motor speed based on the type of external load when inflating the external load. This allows the motor speed to control the inflation speed of the external load, thereby matching the inflation speed requirements of different external loads. Temperature, pressure, and humidity sensors monitor air path parameters in real time. Combined with the load valve and motor speed control, this allows for intelligent dynamic adjustment of the external load inflation process, ensuring stable and precise inflation.

[0059] In the embodiment of the present application, an external load inflation function is added. Through two air paths and motor speed control, the differentiated inflation volume and speed requirements of multiple components of the vehicle (such as tires, seats, etc.) can be met, expanding the application scenarios of the air suspension system.

[0060] The present application also provides an air suspension control method, which is applied to the above-mentioned air suspension control system. Figure 5 , which may include the following steps:

[0062] Optionally, the air suspension control method further includes:

[0066] Optionally, control air is passed through the motor and load valve in the air circuit to an external load, including:

[0067] When it is determined that the air path used for inflating the external load is the atmospheric air path, the air in the atmosphere is controlled to enter the external load through the low-pressure dryer, the motor and the load valve in sequence.

[0068] Optionally, the gas path used for inflating the external load is determined based on the pressure of the gas storage tank and the type of the external load, including:

[0069] When the pressure of the gas tank is lower than the preset pressure, it is determined that the gas path used for external load inflation is the atmospheric gas path;

[0070] When the pressure of the gas tank is greater than or equal to the preset pressure and the type of the external load is the preset type, determining that the gas path used for inflating the external load is the gas path of the gas tank;

[0071] When the pressure of the gas tank is greater than or equal to the preset pressure and the type of the external load is not the preset type, it is determined that the gas path used for inflating the external load is the gas tank gas path and the atmospheric gas path.

When it is determined that the humidity of the gas is greater than a preset threshold, a backflush operation is performed.
