Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of air suspension systems for vehicles, and in particular to a closed air supply unit and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The air suspension system of motor vehicles requires an air supply unit to supply and deflate the air springs. The existing air supply unit has some shortcomings that cannot be ignored:

[0003] Most existing air suspension air supply units use an independent air pump assembly and are equipped with separate control valves, which takes up a large space, increases the number of parts in the entire air supply unit, and complicates the structure of the air pump assembly itself, increasing the difficulty and cost of system assembly.

[0004] A large amount of heat is generated during the operation of the boost device. The existing air supply unit arranges the boost device and the electromagnetic device adjacent to each other. The heat generated by the boost device will affect the operating stability of the solenoid valve, and at the same time affect the sealing performance of the solenoid valve control area, affect the stability of the equipment, reduce the sensitivity of the suspension system, and bring a bad driving experience to the passengers.

[0005] The existing air suspension air supply unit requires the air pump assembly and each control valve to be connected with pipes, which not only increases the length and complexity of the pipeline, but may also make the pipeline layout difficult. During the operation of the equipment, the motor needs to run continuously for charging and deflating, and the motor continuously generates heat, which affects the stability of the equipment.

[0006] In the existing technology, the air pump supplies and stores air to the air cylinder. When the air suspension actuator needs gas, the air cylinder supplies gas, so the air cylinder needs to always maintain high-pressure gas. When the actuator discharges gas, the gas will be directly discharged into the atmosphere. The whole process greatly increases the energy consumption of the vehicle.

[0007] Therefore, it is urgent to develop a closed air supply unit to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0019] Beneficial effects

[0020] The present invention provides a closed air supply unit and a vehicle, which have the following advantages compared with the existing technology:

[0021] The present invention adopts a dual-piston or multi-piston arrangement. Taking a dual-piston pump as an example, the dual pistons are horizontally opposed and arranged in parallel, which can effectively reduce vibration during movement.

[0022] The present invention arranges the motor in the center, and the boost device and the solenoid valve control area are respectively located on both sides of the motor, so as to realize the separate arrangement of the heating area and the valve control area, reduce the influence of the heat generated by the boost device on the machine seals in the valve control area, and install the integrated controller on one side of the motor.

[0023] The valve blocks of the present invention are connected by pipelines, and the motor is provided with a through hole, so that the valve block, the drying tank and the motor form a circulating gas circuit. When the gas passes through the motor, the motor is backblown to dissipate heat, thereby reducing the temperature of the motor itself. The motor can be maintained in a constant temperature range, which can better improve the motor performance and the overall gas supply efficiency.

[0024] The present invention arranges the empty spring connection ports in a straight line on the same valve block, thereby achieving a straight line arrangement of pipelines with the same function, which is more conducive to the direction arrangement of the pipelines and more reasonable in the pipeline layout.

[0025] When the actuator needs gas, the gas source of the air cylinder enters the air supply unit assembly through a special valve system arrangement and is filled into the air spring of the actuator through an air pump. The gas with the original pressure of the air cylinder is equivalent to a certain basic pressure, and the use pressure can be reached without secondary pressurization. When the actuator needs to be exhausted, the exhausted gas is controlled by the special valve system of the air supply unit and then returned to the air cylinder, so that the gas is always in circulation within the system, effectively reducing the energy loss during the vehicle suspension adjustment process.

[0026] The patented product of this invention is highly integrated, making the overall structure completely different from the previous traditional multiple assembly method. The overall form is more compact, and a single-cylinder drying tank structure is adopted, which has a higher overall volume utilization rate, high component integration, and a small overall volume, effectively reducing costs.
