Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air spring technology, and in particular to a durable seat air spring. Background Technology
[0002] An air spring is made by filling a sealed container with compressed air, utilizing the compressibility of gas to achieve its elastic effect. Air springs have ideal non-linear elastic characteristics. When equipped with a height adjustment device, the vehicle height does not change with the increase or decrease of load. The spring stiffness can be designed to be low, resulting in good ride comfort. They are commonly used in car seats.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application number CN202123221234.3 discloses an air spring for car seats with excellent explosion-proof performance. Through the cooperation of the working mechanism and the explosion-proof mechanism, an air spring for car seats with excellent explosion-proof performance is achieved, which greatly improves the explosion-proof effect of the air spring body. Even after long-term use, the air spring body will not break when encountering other pressure effects, which greatly extends the service life of the air spring and avoids unnecessary economic losses. By setting auxiliary telescopic rods and auxiliary springs, the shock absorption effect of the air spring is further improved.
[0004] The above-mentioned technical solution has the following drawbacks. Although such seat air spring structures are equipped with external auxiliary telescopic rods and auxiliary springs, which can further improve the explosion resistance and durability of the air spring, in actual use, air springs are usually made of rubber. Rubber materials exposed to the outside for a long time are prone to accelerated aging due to oxygen, light, oil, and dust, affecting their service life. To further improve the service life of seat air springs, a durable seat air spring is proposed, which is equipped with an external protective structure to isolate and protect the rubber air bladder of the air spring, making it difficult for external light, oxygen, oil, and dust to enter, thereby further improving the service life of the air spring. With the external protective structure, when the spring is subjected to large load pressure, the external protective structure can limit the air spring, giving the seat air spring better explosion resistance and durability.
[0005] In view of this, this work improves and solves the above problems. Through dedicated research and application of theoretical principles, a technical solution with a reasonable design that can effectively improve the above defects has finally been proposed.
[0006] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the general background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0007] This utility model provides a durable seat air spring that solves the problems mentioned in the background. It is equipped with an external protective structure to isolate and protect the rubber air bladder of the air spring, making it difficult for external light, oxygen, oil, and dust to enter, thereby further improving the service life of the air spring. With the external protective structure, the air spring can be limited and protected when subjected to large load pressure, so that the seat air spring has better explosion resistance and durability.
[0008] The present invention provides the following solution to the above-mentioned technical problems: A durable seat air spring includes an air spring airbag, a connecting plate, an upper mounting bracket, a lower mounting bracket, a positioning nut, and a dust cover. Two connecting plates are provided, each installed at one end of the air spring airbag. Both connecting plates are fixedly connected with threaded rods. The upper and lower mounting brackets are connected to the connecting plates via the threaded rods and positioning nuts. Mounting brackets are fixedly installed on both the upper and lower mounting brackets. Seat supports are fixedly connected to the mounting brackets via bolts. A limiting plate is fixedly connected to the mounting brackets. A limiting groove is formed on the lower mounting bracket corresponding to the limiting plate. Spring damping shock absorbers are uniformly fixedly installed on the inner wall of the limiting groove. A load-bearing support plate is fixedly connected to the spring damping shock absorbers. Flange rings are fixedly connected to both ends of the dust cover. The flange rings are connected to the upper or lower mounting bracket via bolts.
[0009] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention can be further improved as follows.
[0010] Furthermore, the limiting plate is configured as a ring structure, and the load-bearing support plate is configured as a ring structure adapted to the limiting plate. The limiting plate can fit tightly with the load-bearing support plate, so that the limiting plate can stably press down on the load-bearing support plate.
[0011] Furthermore, the flange ring, the upper mounting bracket, and the lower mounting bracket are evenly provided with bolt holes, so that the flange ring can be connected to the upper mounting bracket and the lower mounting bracket by bolts.
[0012] Furthermore, the inner wall of the air spring bladder is provided with a buffer block, which can buffer the air spring bladder when it is subjected to large compression deformation, thereby preventing the air spring bladder from being damaged due to large deformation.
[0013] Furthermore, a waist ring is provided at the middle position of the air spring airbag.
[0014] Furthermore, both the upper and lower mounting brackets have mounting holes corresponding to the threaded rod, allowing the threaded rod to pass through either the upper or lower mounting bracket.
[0015] Furthermore, both the upper and lower mounting frames are provided with four mounting brackets.
[0016] Furthermore, multiple spring-damped shock absorbers are provided, and these multiple spring-damped shock absorbers are evenly installed in the limiting groove. The multiple spring-damped shock absorbers can provide shock absorption and buffer protection for the air spring within the limiting groove.
[0017] This utility model provides a durable seat air spring with the following advantages:
[0018] 1. The connecting plate at the bottom of the air spring airbag can be connected to the lower mounting frame via a threaded rod and a positioning nut, allowing the air spring airbag to be installed inside the lower mounting frame. The dust cover and the upper mounting frame are then placed in sequence. The flange rings on both sides of the dust cover can be connected to the upper and lower mounting frames respectively via bolts. This installation structure facilitates assembly and allows the gap between the upper and lower mounting frames to be isolated and sealed by the dust cover, making it difficult for external air, light, oil, and dust to affect the air spring airbag, thereby effectively improving the service life of the air spring airbag.
[0019] 2. Both the upper and lower mounting frames are equipped with mounting brackets. The mounting brackets can be bolted to the seat support to cushion and absorb shocks to the seat. When compressed, the air spring can contract and deform to absorb shocks. The air spring is placed inside the upper and lower mounting frames. The upper and lower mounting frames can limit the deformation of the air spring on the outer wall, thus more evenly preventing the air spring from being damaged by explosion due to excessive deformation under pressure.
[0020] 3. The air spring bladder is equipped with a buffer block to support the connecting plate, which can further improve the air spring's explosion resistance. When the air spring bladder is compressed, the limiting plate at the bottom of the upper mounting frame can slide in the limiting groove. The limiting plate can squeeze the load-bearing support plate, thereby driving the spring damping shock absorber rod to compress. The spring damping shock absorber rod can buffer and dampen the downward pressure, thereby further improving the shock absorption effect of the air spring. Moreover, when subjected to greater pressure, it can be supported outside the air spring bladder, thereby further improving its pressure resistance and explosion resistance.
[0021] 4. This type of seat air spring structure has an external protective structure, which can isolate and protect the rubber air bladder of the air spring, making it difficult for external light, oxygen, oil, and dust to enter, thereby further improving the service life of the air spring. With the external protective structure, the air spring can be limited and protected when subjected to large load pressure, giving the seat air spring a better explosion resistance and durability.
