Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air pumps, in particular to a filtering air supply integrated air pump. Background Art
[0002] With the development of automotive industrial technology, in order to enhance the comfort and stability during vehicle driving, air suspension systems have been widely used. Its air supply unit supplies compressed gas to the air springs of the vehicle to buffer the vibration of the wheels, and according to the air storage tank pressure and height sensors, the start and stop of the air supply unit and the charging and discharging modes are adjusted in real time through the ECU, so as to change the height of the air springs and achieve the purpose of stable vehicle body height.
[0003] For example, a Chinese patent document with the authorization number CN220904605U discloses an air supply unit (i.e., an air pump), which includes a distribution valve assembly and an air compression mechanism arranged on the distribution valve assembly. A first pipeline communicated with the outlet of the air compression mechanism is provided, and an air dryer is connected in series on the first pipeline; since the air dryer is connected in series outside the valve body of the distribution valve assembly, it occupies relatively large space and has a high cost.
[0004] In view of this, a Chinese patent document with the authorization number CN221144727U discloses an in-vehicle high-pressure electronic air pump, which includes a main base. A sub-base is arranged at the bottom end of the main base. An air extraction mechanism is arranged inside the main base. A drying flow channel is arranged inside the main base and the sub-base. The drying flow channel includes a communicating airway and a drying chamber. The communicating airway is arranged inside the sub-base, and the drying chamber is arranged inside the main base. The communicating airway is communicated with the drying chamber. A desiccant is arranged inside the drying chamber, and an air outlet mechanism is arranged above the drying chamber; by arranging a drying chamber inside the main base and filling it with desiccant, it does not occupy external space and saves costs, but it cannot filter large and small particle impurities and oil in the air, which not only affects the service life of the desiccant, but also these impurities entering the air pump will cause wear or blockage to the equipment and shorten the service life of the equipment.
[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the deficiencies of the above prior art. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a filtering air supply integrated air pump aiming at the deficiencies of the above prior art, and solve the problems that in the prior art, large and small particle impurities and oil in the air cannot be filtered, which not only affects the service life of the desiccant, but also these impurities entering the air pump will cause wear or blockage to the equipment and shorten the service life of the equipment.
[0007] To achieve the above object, the present utility model provides the following technical solution: A filtering air supply integrated air pump, comprising a main base, an air compression mechanism is provided on the main base, a drying chamber is further provided on the main base, a communication air passage is provided between the drying chamber and the air compression mechanism, an air outlet mechanism is further communicated with the drying chamber, a filtering component capable of filtering large and small impurities in the air is installed at one end of the drying chamber close to the communication air passage, and a drying agent is filled on the side of the drying chamber away from the communication air passage and away from the filtering component.
[0008] With the above technical solution, when the air is compressed by the air compression mechanism and enters the communication air passage to flow to the drying chamber, after passing through the filtering component and then dehumidified by the drying agent, and then flows out through the air outlet mechanism and enters the air storage tank. After the large and small impurities in the air are first filtered by the filtering component, clean and high-quality air is obtained after dehumidification by the drying agent, thereby prolonging the service life of the drying agent and the equipment.
[0009] The further setting of the above technical solution is: The filtering component includes a first filter screen and a first filter cotton, and the first filter screen is arranged between the air outlet hole of the communication air passage and the first filter cotton.
[0010] With the above technical solution, the filter screen has a larger filtering aperture and can first filter large particulate impurities in the air, such as dust, sand grains, etc.; while the filter cotton has a finer filtering aperture and can further filter out tiny particles in the air, including some dust particles that are difficult to detect with the naked eye. This deep filtering effect helps to ensure the purity of the compressed air.
[0011] The further setting of the above technical solution is: The drying chamber penetrates the main base axially on the side close to the communication air passage to form an installation opening, a plug cover is detachably installed in the installation opening, a sealing ring groove is provided on the circumferential side of the plug cover, a sealing ring is sleeved in the sealing ring groove, a limiting spring with both ends respectively abutted against them is provided between the plug cover and the first filter screen, a first annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the drying chamber, the first filter cotton is snapped into the first annular groove, and the first filter screen and the first filter cotton are mutually attached.
[0012] With the above technical solution, during the first installation, first remove the plug cover, fill the drying agent into the drying chamber, then snap the first filter cotton into the first annular groove for positioning, then place the first filter screen to abut against the first filter cotton, then place the limiting spring, and then install the plug cover again; the limiting spring can resist the first filter screen to avoid its axial instability.
[0013] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: The air compression mechanism includes a driving motor installed on the main base, an eccentric shaft connected to the output shaft of the driving motor, and a piston mechanism rotatably connected to the eccentric shaft. An installation cavity is provided in the main base, and the eccentric shaft and the piston mechanism are both installed in the installation cavity. The piston mechanism is communicated with one end of the drying cavity close to the first filter screen through a communication air duct.
[0014] Adopting the above technical solution, the rotation of the output shaft of the driving motor drives the rotation of the eccentric shaft, and the eccentric shaft drives the piston mechanism to perform reciprocating air compression actions, continuously squeezing the air through the communication air duct and flowing into the drying cavity, and then flowing into the air outlet mechanism after filtration and drying.
[0015] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: The piston mechanism is provided with two symmetrical ones. The two piston mechanisms are respectively communicated with both ends of the drying cavity through corresponding communication air ducts. The drying cavity axially penetrates both ends of the main base, and the filter assembly, the plug cover, and the limiting spring are symmetrically installed at both ends of the drying cavity.
[0016] Adopting the above technical solution, by driving two piston mechanisms and a matching filter structure with one driving motor, the compression efficiency can be improved.
[0017] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: The filter assembly further includes a second filter screen and a second filter cotton installed in the middle of the drying cavity. There is a gap between the two relatively arranged second filter screens. The air outlet of the air outlet mechanism is located on the inner wall of the drying cavity between the two second filter screens. A desiccant is filled between the first filter cotton and the adjacent second filter cotton.
[0018] Adopting the above technical solution, after the compressed air is filtered once by the first filter screen and the first filter cotton, dehumidified by the desiccant, and then filtered twice by the second filter screen and the second filter cotton, the filtering effect can be further improved.
[0019] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: A second annular groove is provided on the inner wall of the drying cavity. The second filter cotton is clamped into the second annular groove.

The side surface of the second filter screen can abut against the stepped boss, and the second filter screen and the adjacent second filter cotton are mutually attached.
[0020] Adopting the above technical solution, the second filter cotton is clamped into the second annular groove to limit it, and the stepped boss limits the second filter screen. The second filter screen and the second filter cotton are basically axially fixed by the extrusion of the desiccant filled between the first filter cotton and the adjacent second filter cotton.
[0021] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: The piston mechanism includes a piston rod, a piston ring connected to the end of the piston rod away from the eccentric shaft, a cylinder body sleeved outside the piston ring, and a compression check valve installed at the end of the cylinder body. A bearing is installed at one end of the eccentric shaft close to the piston rod, and one end of the piston rod is clamped with the outer ring of the bearing. A compression plug cover is detachably and sealedly installed on one side of the main base facing the compression check valve. A high-pressure air chamber is formed between the inner wall of the compression plug cover, the outer wall of the compression check valve, and the outer wall of the cylinder body, and the high-pressure air chamber is communicated with a communication air passage.
[0022] With the above technical solution, the drive motor drives the eccentric shaft to rotate, driving the piston rod to reciprocate along the inner wall of the cylinder body, so that the piston ring repeatedly compresses air to enter the high-pressure air chamber through the compression check valve, and then enters the drying chamber through the communication air passage.
[0023] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: The air outlet mechanism includes an air outlet air passage communicated with the drying chamber, an air outlet check valve connected to the air outlet air passage, and an air storage joint installed outside the main base and capable of being communicated with the air outlet air passage. An automatic pressure relief valve is also communicated behind the air outlet check valve, and the air outlet end of the automatic pressure relief valve is communicated with the outside of the main base.
[0024] With the above technical solution, air flows through the drying chamber into the air outlet air passage and through the air outlet check valve, and finally flows through the air storage joint into an externally connected air storage tank. When the air pressure in the air outlet air passage is too high, air will be discharged through the automatic pressure relief valve to restore the air pressure to the normal range.
[0025] The further setting of the above technical solution is as follows: Four shock absorber joints, an air inlet joint, and an air outlet joint capable of being communicated with the air storage joint are also installed outside the main base. A control sub-valve is installed outside the main base corresponding to each shock absorber joint, and in addition, a control main valve is installed.

A sub-base for fixing the control main valve, control sub-valves, air storage valve, first exhaust valve, second exhaust valve, and third exhaust valve is fixedly connected to the main base.
[0026] With the above technical solution, the air volume of each shock absorber can be respectively opened and closed by the control main valve and control sub-valves; the air inlet and exhaust of the air storage tank can be respectively controlled by the air storage valve and the first exhaust valve; the opening and closing of the exhaust in the drying chamber can be controlled by the second exhaust valve; the air pressure of the air circuit can be adjusted by the controller controlling the opening and closing of the third exhaust valve through the sensor detecting the air pressure and temperature of the air circuit.
