Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air springs, in particular to a belt-type air spring. Background Art
[0002] The air spring is a belt-type air spring non-metallic spring that is made by adding compressed air into a flexible sealed container and using the compressibility of air to achieve elasticity. It has excellent elastic properties, thereby improving the running comfort of the vehicle. And no matter how much the vehicle load is, it can be selected by changing the air pressure. The air spring (referred to as the airbag) is filled with compressed gas (air pressure is 0.5-1Mpa) in a sealed container, and uses the compressibility of the gas to achieve its spring effect. In this way, the airbag has ideal elastic properties.
[0003] When the air spring is working, the airbag needs to be inflated to maintain a certain working pressure. Usually, a cylinder is connected to the air spring's air inlet nozzle, and the air spring is inflated by the cylinder. When the air spring is shock absorbing for the car, it will vibrate, causing friction between the air inlet nozzle and the cylinder. However, many existing air nozzles are welded to the upper cover. When the air nozzle is damaged, it can only be removed and re-welded. The whole process is cumbersome. In addition, the airbag is mostly made of rubber. After long-term use, mechanical failures may occur or external reasons may cause the airbag to over-expand and break, causing personal injury to the user. Utility Model Content
