The air supply device adopts an integrated component approach, combining a pneumatic valve block, motor, air compressor, dryer, multiple solenoid valves, and electronic controller into a single air supply unit. The core of this air supply unit is the pneumatic valve block, on which all other components are arranged. The pneumatic valve block connects to multiple solenoid valves, and the armature housings of the multiple solenoid valves are riveted to the pneumatic valve block. This provides a compact air supply unit for supplying air to the air spring system of a motor vehicle. Figure 2 The solenoid valve is installed in the convex hole of the pneumatic valve block, so that the connection between the pneumatic valve block and the electronic controller is a surface-to-surface connection, which simplifies the assembly process.

The motor 5 is disposed on one side of the pneumatic valve block 4, and the electronic controller 3 is disposed on the other side of the pneumatic valve block 4. Figure 2 As shown, the motor 5 and the electronic controller 3 are connected to the corresponding two surfaces of the pneumatic valve block 4; the air compressor 6 is disposed in the middle groove of the pneumatic valve block 4, and the air compressor 6 is driven by the motor 5 mounted on one side of the pneumatic valve block 4; the pneumatic valve block 4 has multiple receiving grooves 41 with small-diameter circular holes and large-diameter circular holes forming a convex shape on the side facing the electronic controller 3, and multiple solenoid valves 7 are disposed in the multiple receiving grooves 41. The coil 71 of the solenoid valve 7 is disposed in the large-diameter circular hole, and one end of the armature of the solenoid valve 7 is disposed in the small-diameter circular hole, and the other end is disposed in the large-diameter circular hole. The armature moves under the influence of the magnetic force of the coil 71. During assembly, the outer shell accommodating the armature and the end face of the small-diameter circular hole are riveted together to achieve the functions of fastening and sealing.
