[0005] A new type of rubber air spring includes an air spring airbag and an upper coil plate and a lower coil plate respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the air spring airbag. One side of the upper coil plate is connected with an air inlet bolt hole. Vertically upward and fixedly arranged in the middle of the upper side of the lower coil plate is an installation cylinder. Inside the end of the installation cylinder far from the lower coil plate is a self-lubricating elastomer. Vertically downward opened in the middle of the top surface of the self-lubricating elastomer is a through hole connected to the installation cylinder. Vertically downward and fixedly arranged in the middle of the lower side of the upper coil plate is a central support rod, and the free end of the central support rod passes through the through hole and extends into the installation cylinder. A plurality of through holes are opened on both the upper coil plate and the lower coil plate, and among them, the plurality of through holes on the lower coil plate are located outside the installation cylinder. On the lower side of the upper coil plate and the upper side of the lower coil plate are respectively provided with a plurality of nuts with closed free ends, and the plurality of nuts respectively cover outside the plurality of through holes.

[0006] Further, a shock pad is provided at the lower end inside the installation cylinder.

[0007] Furthermore, the diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the lower part of the central support rod.

[0008] Still further, the installation cylinder is welded to the lower coil plate, and the central support rod is welded to the upper coil plate.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0010] A novel rubber air spring of the utility model can ensure its stability and safety when the connected equipment of the rubber air spring has a lateral displacement by means of a central support rod arranged on the lower side of the upper coil plate, an installation cylinder arranged on the upper side of the lower coil plate, and a self-lubricating elastic member arranged on the upper part of the installation cylinder, improving the efficiency of lateral shock absorption. By setting the self-lubricating elastic member as a guiding component, a certain buffering effect can be achieved when the air spring has a lateral displacement. It has good wear resistance, a small friction coefficient, a long service life, and is convenient for popularization. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0012] Description of reference numerals: air inlet bolt hole 1, upper coil plate 2, air spring airbag 4, central support rod 5, self-lubricating elastomer 6, installation cylinder 7, shock pad 8, nut 9, lower coil plate 10. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0013] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0014] Refer to Figure 1 , a novel rubber air spring, including an air spring airbag 4 and an upper coil plate 2 and a lower coil plate 10 respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the air spring airbag 4. An air inlet bolt hole 1 is connected to one side of the upper coil plate 2. A vertically upward fixed installation cylinder 7 is arranged in the middle of the upper side of the lower coil plate 10. A self-lubricating elastomer 6 is arranged inside one end of the installation cylinder 7 away from the lower coil plate 10. A through hole connected to the installation cylinder 7 is vertically downward opened in the middle of the top surface of the self-lubricating elastomer 6. A central support rod 5 is vertically downward fixed in the middle of the lower side of the upper coil plate 2, and the free end of the central support rod 5 passes through the through hole and extends into the installation cylinder 7. A plurality of through holes are opened on both the upper coil plate 2 and the lower coil plate 10. Among them, the plurality of through holes on the lower coil plate 10 are located outside the installation cylinder 7. Nuts 9 with closed free ends are respectively arranged on the lower side of the upper coil plate 2 and the upper side of the lower coil plate 10. The plurality of nuts 9 respectively cover outside the plurality of through holes. When in use, when the connected equipment of the rubber air spring has a lateral displacement, through the arranged central support rod 5 and its end extending into the installation cylinder 7 through the self-lubricating elastomer 6, the self-lubricating elastomer 6 can achieve the lateral stiffness of the air spring airbag 4 by resisting the central support rod 5 during the lateral displacement, thereby reducing the shaking amplitude of the connected equipment, and further improving safety. Among them, the lubricating elastic member 6 as a guiding component can play a certain buffering role. It has good wear resistance, a small friction coefficient, and a long service life.

[0015] A shock-absorbing pad 8 is provided at the lower end inside the installation cylinder 7. When the connecting device generates a longitudinal load and the free end of the central support rod 5 moves downward, the shock-absorbing pad 8 can play a role in shock absorption and buffering.

[0016] The diameter of the through hole is larger than the outer diameter of the lower part of the central support rod 5, further reducing the friction between the two and extending the service life.

[0017] Preferably, the installation cylinder 7 is welded to the lower rolling plate 10, and the central support rod 5 is welded to the upper rolling plate 2.
