[0025] Reference Figure 1 - Figure 5 The utility model provides an embodiment: a lightweight suspension airbag support, including an axle 1, a plurality of suspension airbag bodies 2 are arranged above the axle 1, a U-shaped fixing seat 3 is welded to the bottom end of the suspension airbag body 2, and a fixing clamp 1 4 and a fixing clamp 2 5 are respectively provided on both sides of the suspension airbag body 2, the fixing clamp 1 4 and the fixing clamp 2 5 are respectively composed of two U-shaped clamp parts, and the two clamp parts are fixed to the axle 1 by bolts, a guide arm 6 is provided between the fixing clamp 1 4 and the fixing clamp 2 5, and a fixing component 7 is installed on the fixing clamp 1 4 and the fixing clamp 2 5;

[0026] Specifically, during installation, the fixing clamp 1 4 is first fixed on the axle 1, and then the fixing seat 3 and the guide arm 6 are superimposed and placed against the fixing clamp 1 4, and then the fixing clamp 2 5 is pressed against the fixing seat 3 and fixed to the axle 1, and the guide arm 6 and the fixing seat 3 are fixed synchronously through the fixing assembly 7, so that the suspension airbag body 2 is installed on the axle 1, so that there is no need to extend a curved airbag mounting portion for mounting the airbag at one end of the guide arm 6, which effectively reduces the length and weight of the guide arm 6, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the guide arm 6 and the overall weight of the suspension, thereby improving the fuel economy of the vehicle.

[0027] Reference Figure 3 The fixing assembly 7 includes a plurality of positioning columns 71 and positioning holes 72. The positioning columns 71 are respectively fixedly mounted on the upper side wall of the fixing clamp 1 4 and the fixing clamp 2 5 on the opposite side. The positioning holes 72 are opened on the outer side wall of the guide arm 6. The upper side wall of the fixing clamp 1 4 and the fixing clamp 2 5 on the opposite side is symmetrically opened with positioning grooves 8. The bottom end of the fixing base 3 is inserted into the interior of the positioning groove 8. The fixing assembly 7 also includes a connecting hole 74, which is opened at the lower side wall of the fixing base 3.

[0028] Specifically, by passing the positioning column 71 through the connecting hole 74 and the positioning hole 72, the guide arm 6 and the fixing seat 3 can be quickly fixed, thereby realizing the rapid installation of the guide arm 6, the fixing seat 3 and the axle 1. When disassembly and maintenance are required later, it is only necessary to open the fixing clamp 2 5 to remove the guide arm 6 and the suspension airbag body 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 3 The fixing assembly 7 further includes two fixing orifice plates 75 and a slot 76. The fixing orifice plates 75 are fixedly mounted on the side wall of the fixing clamp 1 4.

[0030] Specifically, when installing the second fixing clamp 5, the connecting column 77 is aligned and inserted into the fixing hole plate 75, so that the first fixing clamp 4 and the second fixing clamp 5 are connected through the fixing hole plate 75, thereby improving the stability of the two.

[0031] Reference Figure 4 - Figure 5The suspension airbag body 2 includes a suspension airbag component 21 and two upper and lower fixed supports 22. The lower fixed support 22 is welded to the fixed seat 3. The fixed support 22 includes a connecting layer 1 221 and a connecting layer 2 222. The connecting layer 1 221 and the connecting layer 2 222 are rotatably connected at the center of the opposite side by an axis. The upper and lower ends of the suspension airbag component 21 are respectively fixedly connected with locking columns 23. The outer side wall of the locking column 23 is provided with a locking groove 24. The surface of the connecting layer 1 221 is provided with a plurality of arc-shaped card grooves 25.

The bolt member 10 is threadedly connected to the threaded groove 9.

[0032] Specifically, when the suspension airbag component 21 is connected to the fixed support 22, the locking column 23 is inserted into the interior of the slot 26 through the card slot 25, and then the connecting layer 1 221 is rotated so that the connecting layer 1 221 can be rotated and inserted into the locking slot 24, thereby limiting the locking column 23. Finally, the connecting layer 1 221 and the connecting layer 2 222 are fixed by a single set of bolt components 10, so that the locking column 23 and the fixed support 22 are quickly fixed, thereby reducing the number of bolt components 10 and facilitating the later disassembly and assembly of the suspension airbag body 2.

[0033] Reference Figure 5 The outer side wall of the connecting layer 1 221 is fixedly connected with a positioning member 11, and the top of the connecting layer 2 222 is fixedly connected with a positioning member 2 12;

[0034] Specifically, when the connecting layer 1 221 is rotated until the positioning member 11 is in contact with the positioning member 2 12 , the connecting through hole 13 is aligned with the thread groove 9 , thereby facilitating the docking and installation of the bolt member 10 .

[0035] Working principle: When the device is needed, during installation, the fixing clamp 1 4 is first fixed to the axle 1, and then the fixing seat 3 and the guide arm 6 are superimposed and placed against the fixing clamp 1 4. Then, the fixing clamp 2 5 is pressed against the fixing seat 3 and fixed to the axle 1. The guide arm 6 and the fixing seat 3 are fixed synchronously by the fixing assembly 7, so that the suspension airbag body 2 is installed on the axle 1. In this way, it is no longer necessary to extend a curved airbag mounting portion at one end of the guide arm 6 to install the airbag, effectively reducing the length and weight of the guide arm 6, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the guide arm 6 and the overall weight of the suspension, and improving the fuel economy of the vehicle. By passing the positioning column 71 through the connecting hole 74 and the positioning hole 72, the guide arm 6 and the fixing seat 3 can be quickly fixed, thereby achieving rapid installation of the guide arm 6, the fixing seat 3 and the axle 1. When disassembly and maintenance are required later, only the fixing clamp 2 5 needs to be opened to remove the guide arm 6 and the suspension airbag body 2. When the suspension airbag component 21 is connected to the fixed support 22, the locking column 23 is inserted into the interior of the slot 26 through the card slot 25, and then the connecting layer 1 221 is rotated so that the connecting layer 1 221 can be rotated and inserted into the locking slot 24, thereby limiting the locking column 23. Finally, the connecting layer 1 221 and the connecting layer 2 222 are fixed by a single set of bolts 10, so that the suspension airbag component 21 and the fixed support 22 are quickly fixed, thereby reducing the number of bolts 10 and facilitating the later disassembly and assembly of the suspension airbag body 2.
