Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of air suspension, in particular to a lifting suspension structure. Background Art
[0002] The use of trailer air suspension is becoming increasingly popular. In order to avoid unnecessary wear on tires when empty or lightly loaded, air suspension is often equipped with a lifting function to lift the entire axle off the ground. This lifting device usually uses a dedicated lifting air spring as the acting element.
[0003] The working principle of this lifting method is: the upper plate of the air spring is fixed to the frame, the compressed air in the load-bearing air spring is first exhausted, and then the lifting spring is inflated to move the guide arm part connected to the lower plate of the air spring downward, and the other end of the guide arm is lifted by the rotating shaft, thereby lifting the axle through the lever principle.
[0004] Nowadays, many trailers and semi-trailers have added a lifting mechanism in addition to the load-bearing airbag. The lifting airbag is generally used as the lifting component. The disadvantages of the lifting airbag are that the airbag skin is prone to aging, leakage and failure, the airbag occupies a relatively large space, and is afraid of scratches, heat sources and other layout issues. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present utility model is to provide a lifting suspension structure to solve the problems raised in the above background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a lifting suspension structure, comprising two front brackets fixedly connected to a vehicle frame, one side of the front bracket being rotatably connected to one end of a Z-shaped guide arm, the other end of the Z-shaped guide arm being mounted with an airbag lower plate drag, and a load-bearing airbag being mounted on top of the airbag lower plate drag;
[0007] A lifting air chamber is installed at the bottom of the front bracket, and a flip center shaft is rotatably installed on one side of the front bracket. The end of the Z-shaped guide arm is installed on the flip center shaft. The end of the flip center shaft is connected to a flip mechanism, and the top of one end of the flip mechanism is installed on a limit block. The limit block is located at the bottom of the Z-shaped guide arm, and the top of the air chamber push rod of the lifting air chamber is located at the bottom of the flip mechanism.
[0008] Preferably, the front bracket is fixed to the vehicle frame by bolts.
[0009] Preferably, upper and lower bridge drags are installed on the horizontal section of the Z-shaped guide arm, and a sling is installed on one side of the upper and lower bridge drags, and the sling is vertically arranged.
[0010] Preferably, a Z-arm bushing is provided at the end of the Z-shaped guide arm, and the Z-arm bushing is sleeved on the flip center axis.
[0011] Preferably, the flip mechanism is a flip plate.
[0012] Preferably, both ends of the flip central axis extend outside the front bracket and are sleeved with locking pads and rotating pads, and the locking pads are sleeved with anti-collision pads.
[0013] Preferably, a turning block is installed at the bottom of the turning mechanism, and the end of the air chamber push rod that lifts the air chamber is buckled with the turning block.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0015] 1. The lifting element has been changed and the lifting air chamber has been used instead of the lifting air bag. The lifting air chamber has stronger lifting force, occupies less space, and has no aging, scratch resistance, or heat source problems.
[0016] 2. Use the lifting air chamber as the driving force for lifting the suspension. The lifting air chamber is arranged diagonally below the front bracket and acts on the flip mechanism. It occupies a small space, is resistant to aging, has a large lifting force, and is easy to lift. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
