Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile chassis, and in particular to a central air source valve island and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the automotive industry, overall vehicle comfort has become a core competitive advantage for mid- to high-end vehicles. The current market features a number of functional modules to enhance comfort: air suspension systems use distribution valves to control air springs at each wheel to adjust vehicle posture; tire inflation and deflation systems dynamically adjust tire pressure based on road conditions to optimize grip; in-cabin oxygen concentrators improve oxygen supply in high-altitude environments; seats with integrated massage and side bolster functions enhance the passenger experience; and additional modules include external inflation and deflating functions.

[0003] These functional modules are dispersed throughout the vehicle, each equipped with independent pneumatic or electric devices. This reduces chassis space utilization. Multiple independent air systems and power units require complex wiring harnesses to connect to the power supply, increasing overall harness length and the number of connectors. This also increases the risk of electrical failures (such as short circuits and signal loss) due to harness wear and loose connectors. Furthermore, the duplication of power units, such as air pumps and motors, significantly increases vehicle mass, contradicting lightweight design goals and impacting fuel economy and range.

[0004] In summary, although existing technologies have achieved the diversification of vehicle body functions, their decentralized functional modules and independent power system designs have led to problems such as low space utilization, high wiring harness complexity, and increased weight. A solution with a higher degree of integration and a simpler structure is urgently needed to optimize vehicle performance. Summary of the Invention

If there are more tire valves and tires, the same applies). This application does not limit the upper limit of air suspension airbag valves and tire valves to 4. If the vehicle has more than 4 air suspension airbags and / or tires, more air suspension airbag valves and / or tire valves can be added on the basis of the 4 air suspension airbag valves and / or tire valves.

[0031] The high-pressure module 11 also includes a pressure sensor 112, which is arranged on the air path connecting the air tank supply valve 111 and the air suspension airbag valve group 113. The pressure sensor 112 is used to detect the air pressure in the air path. When the air pressure in the air path is greater than the air pressure of the suspension airbag to be inflated or the tire to be inflated (hereinafter referred to as the air pressure meeting the standard), the corresponding air suspension airbag valve or tire valve is allowed to be opened to inflate the corresponding air suspension airbag or tire.

[0032] The air inlet of the air compressor high-pressure air supply valve 4 is connected to the air compressor high-pressure chamber, the air outlet of the air compressor first air inlet valve 5 is connected to the air compressor air inlet, and the air inlet of the gas tank supply valve 111 is connected to the high-pressure gas storage tank 3.

[0033] When the air compressor high-pressure air supply valve 4, the air compressor first air intake valve 5, and the tire valve group air intake control valve 1141 are in the closed state, the air tank air supply valve 111 is in the open state, and the air pressure meets the standard, any air suspension airbag valve can be opened, and the gas in the high-pressure air tank 3 can be used to inflate any air suspension airbag; when the air compressor first air intake valve 5, the air tank air supply valve 111, and the tire valve group air intake control valve 1141 are in the closed state, the air compressor high-pressure air supply valve 4 is in the open state, and the air pressure meets the standard, any air suspension airbag valve can be opened, and the air compressor can be used to inflate any air suspension airbag; when the air compressor high-pressure air supply valve 4, the air tank air supply valve 111, and the tire valve group air intake control valve 1141 are in the closed state, and the air compressor first air intake valve 5 is in the open state, any air suspension airbag valve can be opened to exhaust any air suspension airbag. Of course, when the air compressor high-pressure air supply valve 4, the air compressor first air intake valve 5, the air tank air supply valve 111, and the tire valve group air intake control valve 1141 are in the closed state, multiple air suspension airbag valves can be opened to quickly balance the air pressure of multiple air suspension airbags.

When the tire valve assembly inlet control valve 1141 is closed, the tire valve assembly outlet control valve 1146 and the corresponding tire valve can be opened to deflate the corresponding tire. The tire valve assembly outlet backpressure valve 1147 stops deflation when the air pressure at the air inlet falls below a preset value, preventing excessive deflation and tire damage. Of course, multiple tire valves can also be opened while the tire valve assembly inlet control valve 1141 and tire valve assembly outlet control valve 1146 are closed to quickly balance the air pressure across multiple tires.

When the air outlet valve 1212 of the external air-consuming equipment is in a closed state and the air inlet valve 1211 of the air-consuming equipment is in an open state, the external air-consuming equipment 24 can be inflated; when the air inlet valve 1211 of the air-consuming equipment is in a closed state and the air outlet valve 1212 of the external air-consuming equipment is in an open state, the external air-consuming equipment 24 can be quickly exhausted, thereby realizing corresponding energy recovery.

[0039] The oxygen concentrator pressure reducing valve 1221, the seat massage pressure reducing valve 1222, and the seat side support pressure reducing valve 1223 can reduce the air source of the air compressor to a preset air pressure, and transmit the reduced-pressure air source to the corresponding on-board gas equipment. When the on-board gas equipment needs to use gas or inflate, it can open the corresponding switch valve and the air compressor low-pressure air supply valve 6 for use or inflation.

[0048] In summary, the central air source valve island and the vehicle of the present invention inflate and deflate air-consuming equipment through high-pressure modules and low-pressure modules, realizing a highly integrated design of the air circuit system. Compared with the traditional decentralized air circuit control scheme, the present invention integrates multiple functions such as air suspension airbag supply, tire inflation and deflation, oxygen production equipment supply, seat massage, and seat wing support supply into a valve island structure, significantly reducing the number of air circuit pipelines, wiring harness complexity, and installation space requirements, optimizing chassis space utilization, and the integrated design also reduces the number of independent control components, avoiding the repeated configuration of multiple sets of air pumps, solenoid valves and other power units, effectively reducing the weight of the entire vehicle, and improving fuel economy or the cruising range of electric vehicles. The central air source valve island adopts a modular design, and each functional unit can be flexibly selected according to demand. At the same time, due to the improvement in integration, the original scattered parts from multiple suppliers can be integrated into a single assembly, which significantly improves the efficiency of quality control, thereby indirectly improving the quality of the entire vehicle product.
