[0002] A high-quality SUV must have the comfort of a sedan and the passability of an off-road vehicle. The air suspension system is the best choice to achieve this goal. According to different road conditions and the signal of the distance sensor, the on-board computer will determine the change in vehicle height, and then control the air compressor and exhaust valve to automatically compress or extend the spring, thereby lowering or raising the ground clearance of the chassis to increase high-speed vehicle stability or passability in complex road conditions.

[0003] At present, in the existing manufacturing process of air distribution valve island, the traditional glue filling process has a long curing time, high glue cost, and unstable glue quality, which causes the device to easily deform during installation. Based on this, the utility model applies to design a laser welded air distribution valve island structure. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the utility model provides a laser welding air distribution valve structure, which has the advantages of replacing the traditional glue filling process and using a stable laser welding sealing process.

[0005] The utility model provides the following technical solution: a laser welded air distribution valve structure, comprising a shell, an upper cover is provided on the top of the shell, the shell and the upper cover are made of PA plastic and glass fiber material, a guide column is installed at the bottom of the outer surface of the upper cover, a reinforcing rib is installed at the bottom of the outer surface of the upper cover, five top columns are provided at the bottom of the reinforcing rib, and a waterproof and breathable membrane is provided on one side of the bottom of the outer surface of the upper cover.

[0006] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, an air path is provided at the bottom of the inner cavity of the shell, and an electromagnetic valve and a pressure sensor are placed in the inner cavity of the shell.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, nine screw fixing holes are provided on the inner wall of the shell, and support plates are installed on the tops of the nine screw fixing holes.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, five self-tapping screws are installed on the internal threads of the support plate, and the bottoms of the five self-tapping screws are threadedly connected to the corresponding screw fixing holes.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, a PCB board is provided on the top of the outer surface of the support plate, and four other self-tapping screws are installed on the internal threads of the PCB board.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the other four self-tapping screws are threadedly connected to the corresponding screw fixing holes.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] 1. This laser-welded air distribution valve structure uses a housing and upper cover made of PA plastic and fiberglass. After the housing and upper cover are bonded together and laser-welded at the joint, electrical insulation from the outside world is ensured, while also resisting deformation. The solenoid valve's design temperature is 80°C, reaching 120°C in a short period of time. The PA and fiberglass housing material fully meets the valve body design objectives. The solenoid valve is a normally closed valve. During normal operation, its heat generation is minimal and can be promptly dissipated through the housing. This achieves the goal of replacing the traditional glue-filling process with a stable laser welding sealing process.

[0013] 2. This laser-welded air distribution valve structure can prevent deformation after welding by setting reinforcing ribs and top columns, while providing partial pressing force. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
