Description

Technical Field

[0002] Air suspension is a system that allows cars to have the comfort of a sedan while taking into account the performance of an off-road vehicle. The air suspension system can raise or lower the chassis height according to the ups and downs of the road, so that the vehicle can adapt to driving needs under various road conditions. The air suspension system is mostly used on off-road vehicles that often travel under harsh road conditions to ensure that the vehicle can smoothly pass through muddy, wading, gravel and other roads. The structure of the air suspension includes an axle, a guide arm, an axle upper support seat, an axle lower support seat and other structures. The axle upper support seat is usually provided with a groove for installing the guide arm. In order to limit the extension and contraction of the guide arm along the groove, a positioning pin is provided in the groove to achieve the positioning assembly between the guide arm and the axle upper support seat. There is a problem with this method: due to the assembly gap between the groove and the guide arm, the assembly efficiency of a single positioning pin can still be improved in matching the axle upper support seat and the guide arm. At the same time, due to the assembly gap, the guide arm can have a gap displacement in the groove, especially when the guide arm is subjected to lateral force, no positioning pin will slide left and right in the groove, and only one positioning pin will cause the guide arm to swing along the positioning pin.

It also includes at least two positioning pins 11. The installation groove 60 is provided with at least two No. 1 positioning holes arranged along the extension direction of the guide arm 1. The guide arm 1 is provided with a No. 2 positioning hole corresponding to the No. 1 positioning hole one by one. The two ends of the positioning pin 11 extend into the No. 1 positioning hole and the No. 2 positioning hole respectively.

[0018] During actual assembly, the positioning pin 11 is first assembled into the No. 1 positioning hole, and then the guide arm 1 is assembled with the positioning pin 11 so that the upper end of the positioning pin 11 extends into the No. 2 positioning hole. During actual use, when the guide arm 1 is subjected to lateral force, the positioning pin 11 arranged along the extension direction of the guide arm 1 prevents the guide arm 1 from swinging left and right.

[0019] In the above design, by providing at least two positioning pins 11, the assembly efficiency can be improved, and the tendency of the guide arm 1 to swing along the width direction can be overcome when the guide arm 1 is subjected to a lateral force.

[0020] Specifically: Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the U-shaped bolt assembly 3 includes a No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31, a No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32, two No. 1 nuts 33 and two No. 2 nuts 34, the lower bracket 5 is provided with a No. 1 arc groove 51 for positioning the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 and a No. 2 arc groove 52 for positioning the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32, the upper bracket 6 is provided with a No. 1 vertical groove 61 for positioning the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 and a No. 2 vertical groove 62 for positioning the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32, the pressure plate 2 is provided with two No. 1 through holes 201 and two No. 2 through holes 202, both ends of the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 pass through the two No. 1 through holes 201 respectively and are threadedly connected with the No. 1 nut 33, and both ends of the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32 pass through the two No. 2 through holes 202 respectively and are threadedly connected with the No. 2 nut 34.

[0021] During actual assembly, the lower bracket 5 assembles the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 through the No. 1 arc groove 51, assembles the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32 through the No. 2 arc groove 52, limits the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 and the No. 1 vertical groove 61, and limits the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32 and the No. 2 vertical groove 62, so that the four ends of the upper bracket 6 limit the No. 1 U-shaped bolt 31 and the No. 2 U-shaped bolt 32.

[0022] In the above design, the upper supporting seat 6 and the lower supporting seat 5 can be effectively fixed.

[0023] Specifically: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pressure plate 2 includes a main body 21 and protrusions 22 arranged at the four corners of the main body 21 and protruding downward. The No. 1 through hole 201 and the No. 2 through hole 202 are respectively arranged on the four protrusions 22. The two protrusions 22 arranged along the width direction of the guide arm 1 are used to abut against the two sides of the guide arm 1.

[0024] In actual use, the two protrusions 22 arranged along the width direction of the guide arm 1 are used to abut against the two sides of the guide arm 1, so that the guide arm 1 is limited.

[0025] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the pressing plate 2 can effectively fix the guide arm 1.

[0026] Specifically: Figure 3 As shown, chamfers 110 are provided at both ends of the positioning pin 11 .

[0027] In the above design, the chamfer 110 is designed to facilitate the assembly of the positioning pin 11 .

[0028] Specifically: gaskets are provided on the upper end surface and the lower end surface of the guide arm 1.

[0029] In the above design, the friction between the guide arm 1 and the upper support seat 6 and the lower support seat 5 can be further achieved through the gasket.

[0030] To further explain in detail, it should be understood that the above is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
