[0034] Figure 1 An exploded view of the adapter bracket 20 and suspension structure 30 in the connection assembly 100 provided in the first aspect embodiment of this application is shown. Figure 2 An exploded view of the support bracket 10 in the connection assembly 100 provided in the first aspect embodiment of this application is shown.

[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 2 In one aspect, embodiments of this application provide a connecting assembly 100 for mounting a pump valve body 300 of an air spring suspension system on a vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, including a support bracket 10, an adapter bracket 20, and a suspension structure 30.

[0036] The support bracket 10 includes a first support plate 11, a connecting plate 13, and a second support plate 12 that are fixedly connected in sequence. The first included angle between the first support plate 11 and the connecting plate 13 is consistent with the second included angle between the second support plate 12 and the connecting plate 13.

[0037] The adapter bracket 20 includes a bracket body 21 and a first through hole H1 and a second through hole H2 disposed through the bracket body 21. The bracket body 21 includes a central region 211 and an edge region 212 surrounding the central region 211. The first through hole H1 is disposed in the central region 211 and the second through hole H2 is disposed in the edge region 212.

[0038] The suspension structure 30 includes a main frame 31 formed by at least three support beams B0.

[0039] In the first aspect, the connecting component 100 provided in this application embodiment can be installed in the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200. The first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 abut against each other to form a more stable cavity structure. The suspension structure 30 can be stably assembled with the pump and valve body 300 through the main frame 31. The second through hole H2 located in the edge region 212 of the support bracket 10 and the adapter bracket 20 can be assembled with the main frame 31. The first through hole H1 located in the central region 211 can be assembled with the support bracket 10 through the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, so as to realize the stable transfer of the pump and valve body 300 to the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0040] The support bracket 10 is fixedly connected in sequence by a first support plate 11, a connecting plate 13, and a second support plate 12, with the first included angle and the second included angle being consistent. This allows the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 to abut against the inner wall of the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 after the support bracket 10 is placed inside the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200. The connecting plate 13, which is connected to the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12, further enhances the abutment relationship between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 and the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200. This forms a more stable cavity structure within the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, thereby enhancing the structural strength at the connection point between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, and facilitating a stable connection between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0041] Optionally, both the first included angle and the second included angle are right angles, making the processing of the support bracket 10 simple and convenient to produce.

[0042] Optionally, the distance between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 is slightly larger than the height of the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, so that when the support bracket 10 is installed in the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, an interference fit connection is formed, the contact between the first support plate 11 and the second support plate 12 and the inner cavity 230 of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 is closer, the cavity structure formed is further more stable, and the structural strength at the connection position between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 is further strengthened.

[0043] The adapter bracket 20 is used to facilitate the transfer between the larger-sized suspension structure 30 and the pump valve body 300 and the smaller-sized vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0044] The first through hole H1, used to connect smaller structures, is located in the central region 211 of the bracket body 21, and the second through hole H2, used to connect larger structures, is located in the edge region 212 of the bracket body 21. The vehicle longitudinal beam structure and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 are fixedly connected to the first through hole H1 and the second through hole H2, respectively. Due to the distribution of the first through hole H1 and the second through hole H2, a more stable fixed connection relationship can be formed. The adapter bracket 20 is subjected to uniform force in all directions, thereby making the connection relationship between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 more stable.

[0045] The suspension structure 30 can be securely assembled with the pump valve body 300. At the same time, the suspension structure 30 has reserved holes on the main frame 31 for installation with the adapter bracket 20. In addition to realizing the vibration reduction function when the pump valve body 300 is working, the suspension structure 30 can also reserve an installation position for the pump valve body 300 on the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0046] Optionally, the main frame 31 of the suspension structure 30 is formed by four supporting beams B0, which allows for more space to be reserved for installation and provides greater flexibility.

[0047] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments of the connection component 100 provided in this application, the dimension of the edge region 212 of the adapter bracket 20 along the first direction X is twice the dimension of the center region 211 along the first direction X.

[0048] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting component 100 has an edge region 212 and a center region 211 that are in the same dimensional proportion as the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200, so that the structures on one side of the pump valve body 300 and the other side of the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 can be smoothly installed with the adapter bracket 20, thereby enabling the pump valve body 300 to be transferred to the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0049] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments of the connection component 100 provided in this application, the number of first vias H1 is three and the number of second vias H2 is four. The center line connecting the three first vias H1 forms a triangle, and the center link connecting the four second vias H2 forms a quadrilateral.

[0050] In the embodiments of this application, the connection component 100 has a positional distribution of the first through hole H1 and the second through hole H2, which further makes the force on the central region 211 and the edge region 212 more uniform, and can further form a more stable fixed connection relationship. The adapter bracket 20 is subjected to uniform force in all directions, thereby making the connection relationship between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 more stable.

[0051] Optionally, the center lines of the three first through holes H1 in the central region 211 form an equilateral triangle, and the center lines of the four second through holes H2 in the edge region 212 form a square. The adapter bracket 20 is subjected to more uniform force in all directions, thereby making the connection between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200 more stable.

[0052] Please continue reading. Figure 1 In some embodiments of the connection component 100 provided in this application, the suspension structure 30 further includes at least one mounting part 32, which is disposed at the connection position between the support beams B0. The suspension structure 30 also includes an elastic part 33 that fits into the mounting part 32. The mounting part 32 also includes a sleeve 321 that passes through the elastic part 33. The sleeve 321 includes a fourth through hole H4 that passes through itself.

[0053] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting component 100 has a fourth through hole H4 defined by a sleeve 321 in the mounting part 32 of the suspension structure 30, so that the second through hole H2 of the adapter bracket 20 can cooperate with the fourth through hole H4 of the suspension structure 30 and be fixedly connected, thereby realizing a stable connection between the pump valve body 300 and the vehicle longitudinal beam assembly 200.

[0060] In the embodiments of this application, the connecting component 100 has a second nut N2 directly provided on one side of the first surface 20a in the second through hole H2.
