TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile suspension, and particularly relates to an independent double-cavity air spring. BACKGROUND
[0002] The independent air spring refers to an air spring assembled separately from a shock absorber. Compared with a strut type air spring assembled integrally with a shock absorber, the independent air spring is simple in structure and can more accurately and flexibly regulate the rigidity and load capacity thereof, and is widely used in luxury cars, business cars and other vehicle models with high comfort requirements.
[0003] The independent air spring mainly comprises a base, an air bag and a piston, the lower end of the air bag is in sealing cooperation with the base, the upper end of the air bag is in sealing cooperation with the lower end of the piston, and the base, the air bag and the piston enclose a closed air chamber. The base is connected to a wheel frame, and the piston is connected to a suspension, and the rigidity of the air spring is adjusted by inflating the air chamber in the air bag through an air pump to meet the driving requirements of the vehicle on different road conditions and improve the driving comfort of the vehicle. When the vehicle drives on a bumpy road, the body will vibrate up and down with a large amplitude relative to the wheel frame, which will cause the base and the piston of the air spring to collide rigidly after moving close to each other, thereby affecting the driving comfort of the vehicle and causing damage to the air spring. In order to avoid the above situation, the compression movement of the piston or the base of the independent air spring needs to be buffered and limited.
[0004] At present, a buffer block is mainly arranged on a suspension swing arm or a shock absorber used in cooperation with the air spring to provide further buffering and limiting for the compression movement of the air spring, but the way of integrating the buffer block in the shock absorber requires the shock absorber to be arranged as vertically as possible, which limits the arrangement angle of the shock absorber. The way of assembling the buffer block on the suspension swing arm occupies the mounting space of the suspension and is easy to affect the assembly of other components on the suspension. Therefore, the Chinese patent with the publication number CN213744653U discloses an air spring, which buffers the impact between the top surface and the bottom surface of the air spring in the up-down direction and limits the compression of the air spring by arranging a solid structure limiting buffer block in the air spring. The mounting space of the suspension is saved, and more choices are provided for the setting mode of the shock absorber, but when the vibration amplitude and the impact borne by the vehicle are too large, the top surface and the bottom surface of the air spring are close to each other and impact and extrude the limiting buffer block in the up-down direction when the body and the suspension touch the bottom, and the limiting buffer block is easy to be damaged and fail after being impacted and extruded, thereby affecting the driving comfort of the vehicle.

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The utility model is further illustrated below in combination with the drawings and examples. The examples described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used for explaining the utility model and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.
[0030] As shown in the accompanying drawings Figures 1-5 A kind of independent double-cavity air spring, including pedestal 1, air bag 2 and piston 3, the lower end of the air bag 2 is sealed with the pedestal 1, the upper end of the air bag 2 is sealed with the lower end of the piston 3, the pedestal 1, the air bag 2 and the piston 3 form closed gas cavity;The piston 3 is equipped with the column cavity of opening downwards, the column cavity is equipped with the plunger 5 with the inside wall axial sliding fit of the piston 3, the plunger 5 is sealed with the inside wall of the piston 3;The plunger 5 separates the gas cavity into main gas chamber 41 and auxiliary gas chamber 42 isolated from each other, the main gas chamber 41 is located at the lower side of the plunger 5, the auxiliary gas chamber 42 is located at the upper side of the plunger 5;The piston 3 is equipped with the first inflation port 31 being communicated with the main gas chamber 41 and the second inflation port 32 being communicated with the auxiliary gas chamber 42;The main gas chamber 41 is equipped with push rod 6, the upper end of the push rod 6 is connected in the plunger 5, the lower end of the push rod 6 is connected in the pedestal 1;The axis of the push rod 6 is arranged with the axis of the column cavity in the piston 3.
[0031] The pedestal 1 of the utility model air spring is connected on wheel frame, and the piston 3 is connected on suspension. Auxiliary gas chamber 42 is filled with high-pressure gas through the second inflation port 32, and main gas chamber 41 is filled with compressed gas through the first inflation port 31. The pressure of the gas in auxiliary gas chamber 42 should be greater than the pressure of the gas in main gas chamber 41. During the driving of vehicle, the suspension drives the air spring to extend and contract, and then the pedestal 1 drives the push rod 6 and the plunger 5 to move up and down synchronously, so that the plunger 5 slides up and down in the column cavity of the piston 3 to change the volume of the auxiliary gas chamber 42. When the air spring is compressed, the pedestal 1 and the piston 3 of the air spring move towards each other. Relative to the piston 3, the pedestal 1 drives the push rod 6 and the plunger 5 to move upwards synchronously. The plunger 5 slides upwards in the column cavity to compress the volume of the auxiliary gas chamber 42. The pressure of the gas in the auxiliary gas chamber 42 gradually increases and exerts a downward reaction force on the plunger 5, which provides resistance for the compression of the whole air spring. The reaction force of the compressed gas in the auxiliary gas chamber 42 gradually increases during the upward movement of the plunger 5, until the plunger 5 is limited to stop moving upwards, and the air spring stops compression. Subsequently, the suspension resets to stretch the air spring. The pedestal 1 and the piston 3 of the air spring move away from each other. Relative to the piston 3, the pedestal 1 drives the push rod 6 and the plunger 5 to move downwards synchronously. At the same time, the high-pressure gas in the auxiliary gas chamber 42 pushes the plunger 5 to make the plunger 5 slide downwards at a higher speed. The plunger 6 pushes the push rod 6 and the pedestal 1 to move downwards at a higher speed, and then the air spring quickly rebounds to reset, and the vehicle body quickly resets at a higher speed.
[0032] The utility model discloses a piston 3 is set up in the column cavity and sets up the plunger 5 in the column cavity and encloses the auxiliary air chamber 42 of adjustable volume and airtight, utilizes the telescopic movement of air spring to drive the axial reciprocating motion of plunger 5 to change the volume of auxiliary air chamber 42 and the gas pressure in auxiliary air chamber 42, and further change the size of the pressure that high pressure gas in auxiliary air chamber 42 exerts to plunger 5 downward. The high pressure gas in auxiliary air chamber 42 exerts to plunger 5 downward pressure gradually increases in the upward motion of plunger 5, provides the buffer force for the compression movement of air spring and compresses the limit of air spring, avoids the rigid collision of plunger 5 and piston 3, improves the comfort of vehicle driving and riding, prolongs the service life of air spring, correspondingly, the high pressure gas in auxiliary air chamber 42 also provides the thrust for the downward reset motion of plunger 5 when the rebound stretch movement of air spring, accelerates the rebound reset of air spring. In addition, the air spring of the utility model has the main air chamber 41 and the auxiliary air chamber 42 of independent, can adjust the initial gas pressure of two air chambers by adjusting the initial inflation of main air chamber 41 and auxiliary air chamber 42, and further more accurately adjust the rigidity of air spring.

[0034] The plunger 5 is sealingly connected with the inner wall of the piston 3 to enclose the auxiliary air chamber 42, and the volume of the auxiliary air chamber 42 and the gas pressure in the auxiliary air chamber 42 are adjusted by the up-down sliding of the plunger 5.

Preferably, the lower end of the piston 3 is provided with an axial limiting portion 33 which protrudes inwardly from the inner side wall of the piston 3.
