[0002] Air spring assemblies are widely used, such as railway carriages, heavy-duty vehicles and other applications where cushioning or shock absorption is important. Generally, such spring assemblies include an elastomer located between a pair of rigid end plates. The elastomer is made of rubber and is compressed by the load acting on the spring assembly.

At the same time, due to the nonlinearity of rubber, the vertical stiffness will increase when the load increases. When the air spring is deflated, most of them will have a hard stop in the vertical direction. At the same time, lateral sliding friction will occur between the cover plate and the wear plate, which cannot meet the lateral stiffness requirements and soft stop requirements of some high-speed vehicle projects in the deflated state.

[0008] According to the pre-stressed emergency air spring assembly, the sides of the two groups of push blocks 2 that are away from the tops and the sides of the two groups of push blocks 1 that are close to the bottoms are both provided with guide slopes connected to the wear plate, and the two groups of guide slopes cooperate with each other to facilitate the push block 1 to push the push block 2 to move closer through the guide slopes in the later stage.

A stiffness buffer component is provided inside the carrier cup 5, an emergency spring 7 is provided at the bottom of the carrier cup 5, and the bottom of the emergency spring 7 is connected to the lower cover plate 6.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4 The stiffness buffer assembly includes a buffer spring 1 8, a sleeve rod 9, a connecting plate 10, a buffer spring 2 11, a receiving groove 12, a push block 2 13 and a wear plate 14. The receiving grooves 12 are provided with two groups, and the two groups of receiving grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the inside of the carrier cup 5. The sleeve rod 9 extending to the inside of the carrier cup 5 is provided on the side close to the inside of the two groups of receiving grooves 12;

[0023] A buffer spring 8 connected to the sleeve rod 9 is provided on the side away from the two sets of storage grooves 12, a connecting plate 10 extending to the inside of the airbag 4 is provided on the side close to the two sets of sleeve rods 9, a buffer spring 2 11 is provided on the side close to the two sets of connecting plates 10, a push block 2 13 matched with the push block 2 is provided on the top of the side away from the two sets of connecting plates 10, and a wear plate 14 is provided on the top of the two sets of push blocks 2 13 and the side close to the bottom of the two sets of push blocks 2.

[0024] The sides of the two groups of push blocks 13 that are away from the top and the sides of the two groups of push blocks 1 that are close to the bottom are both provided with guiding inclined surfaces connected to the wear plate 14, and the two groups of guiding inclined surfaces cooperate with each other.

[0026] The exteriors of the buffer spring 1 8 and the buffer spring 2 11 are sprayed with an anti-rust coating.

[0027] Working principle: During operation, the upper cover plate 1 can be moved downward by the leakage of the gas inside the airbag 4 to realize the compression operation of the emergency spring 7. At the same time, the upper cover plate 1 can also drive the push block 1 2 to move downward.
