Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model specifically relates to the cockpit suspension assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Chinese invention patent CN114321252B discloses an air spring assembly and its application in the automotive technology field. The air spring assembly includes a housing assembly, a shock absorber, and a solenoid valve. The housing assembly has a main chamber and a secondary chamber internally, connected by a through-hole in a wall panel. The solenoid valve is mounted on the wall panel to control the opening and closing of the through-hole, and its axis is parallel to the shock absorber axis to reduce radial installation space requirements.
[0003] The above-mentioned air spring assembly has the following defects:
[0004] The solenoid valve regulates the flow of compressed air between the main and auxiliary chambers by controlling the opening and closing of the through-hole, but the gas volume between the main and auxiliary chambers remains unchanged. The stiffness of an air spring is typically related to the pressure and volume of the gas inside it. If the volume remains constant, then changes in stiffness will primarily depend on changes in pressure, and such changes are limited by the solenoid valve's control capability, making continuous or wide-range adjustment of the air spring stiffness impossible. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by providing a cockpit suspension assembly. By introducing pneumatic components and an air tank, the total volume of gas is increased, enabling more effective adjustment and control of the air pressure in the suspension system, optimizing the suspension effect in the cockpit, and improving the stability and ride comfort of the vehicle during driving.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cockpit suspension assembly, including an airbag, a piston assembly, and a top cover assembly. The piston assembly includes a piston and a hydraulic cylinder installed inside the piston. The hydraulic cylinder is linked to a piston rod. The upper part of the piston rod is sealed to the top cover assembly, and a connecting fork is fixed to the lower part of the hydraulic cylinder. The upper end of the airbag is connected to the top cover assembly, and the lower end is connected to the piston. There is a gas chamber structure between the airbag and the piston assembly for containing gas. The gas chamber structure is connected to a pneumatic component, and the pneumatic component is connected to an air tank. An additional air chamber is provided inside the air tank.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, and through the introduction of pneumatic components and an air tank, particularly the additional air chamber within the air tank, the total gas volume is increased compared to existing air spring assemblies. This allows for more effective regulation and control of the suspension system's gas pressure, optimizing the suspension effect in the cockpit and improving vehicle stability and ride comfort. Furthermore, the air tank does not need to be directly fixed to the airbag or piston assembly during installation; it can be directly fixed to the vehicle body. This does not affect the structural design or manufacturing of the air spring; only pre-drilled holes are needed for gas flow.
[0008] A cockpit suspension assembly includes an airbag, a piston assembly, and a top cover assembly. The piston assembly includes a piston and a hydraulic cylinder installed inside the piston. The hydraulic cylinder is linked to a piston rod, the upper part of which is sealed to the top cover assembly, and a connecting fork is fixed to the lower part of the hydraulic cylinder. The upper end of the airbag is connected to the top cover assembly, and the lower end is connected to the piston. The airbag has a main air chamber inside. The piston includes a support plate distributed above and a shell below. The outer periphery of the support plate is connected to the shell, and the inner periphery is sealed to the hydraulic cylinder. A secondary air chamber is formed between the shell and the support plate. The support plate has a damping hole that connects the main air chamber and the secondary air chamber.
[0009] The above technical solution involves disassembling the piston into a shell and a support plate, facilitating the fabrication of the additional air chamber. A damping orifice is used to allow gas flow between the main and auxiliary air chambers. Gas from the main chamber flows into the piston assembly chamber through the damping orifice according to pressure changes. As the gas flows through the orifice, some damping is consumed. Therefore, the damping orifice helps to reduce the impact and vibration during airbag expansion and contraction, thereby improving vehicle ride comfort. Compared to existing technologies, eliminating the solenoid valve not only reduces costs but also simplifies manufacturing, as there is no need to reserve installation space for a solenoid valve. Furthermore, the damping effect can be adjusted by changing the size and position of the damping orifice to adapt to different driving conditions.
[0010] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured as follows: the airbag has a main air chamber inside, the piston and the cylinder have an auxiliary air chamber, the main air chamber and the auxiliary air chamber are connected and together form an air chamber structure, the piston has a mounting hole, the pneumatic component is sealed and fixed in the mounting hole, one end of the pneumatic component is connected to the auxiliary air chamber and the other end is connected to the air tank.
[0011] By employing the above technical solution, during operation, when the vehicle travels on uneven road surfaces, the suspension system is subjected to vibrations and impacts from the road surface. At this time, gas not only circulates between the main and auxiliary air chambers within the airbag, but also flows between the pneumatic components on the piston and the air reservoir. This ensures that the gas flow direction consistently alternates between the main, auxiliary, and supplementary air chambers, thereby regulating the internal pressure of the airbag and further absorbing and mitigating vibrations, thus improving the ride comfort in the passenger cabin.
[0012] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured as follows: the airbag has a main air chamber inside, the piston and the cylinder have an auxiliary air chamber, the main air chamber and the auxiliary air chamber are connected and together form an air chamber structure, the upper cover assembly has a mounting hole, the pneumatic element is sealed and fixed in the mounting hole, one end of the pneumatic element is connected to the main air chamber and the other end is connected to the air tank.
[0013] By employing the above technical solution, during operation, when the vehicle travels on uneven road surfaces, the suspension system is subjected to vibrations and impacts from the road surface. At this time, gas not only circulates between the main and auxiliary air chambers within the airbag, but also flows between the air tank and the pneumatic components via the mounting holes on the upper cover assembly. This ensures that the gas flow not only occurs between the main and auxiliary air chambers, but also between the main and auxiliary air chambers, thereby regulating the internal pressure of the airbag and further absorbing and mitigating vibrations, improving passenger comfort.
[0014] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured such that: the piston includes a support plate distributed above and a housing below, the outer periphery of the support plate is connected to the housing and the inner periphery is sealed to the cylinder, the housing and the support plate form a secondary air chamber, the support plate is provided with a damping hole, and the damping hole connects the main air chamber and the secondary air chamber.
[0015] The above technical solution involves disassembling the piston into a shell and a support plate, facilitating the fabrication of the additional air chamber. A damping orifice is used to allow gas flow between the main and auxiliary air chambers. Gas from the main chamber flows into the piston assembly chamber through the damping orifice according to pressure changes. As the gas flows through the orifice, some damping is consumed. Therefore, the damping orifice helps to reduce the impact and vibration during airbag expansion and contraction, thereby improving vehicle ride comfort. Furthermore, the damping effect can be adjusted by changing the size and position of the damping orifice to adapt to different driving conditions.
[0016] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured such that: the end of the piston facing the airbag is provided with a lower connecting flange, the lower end of the airbag is sleeved on the outer periphery of the lower connecting flange, and a lower clamping ring is provided between the airbag and the lower connecting flange to press the lower end of the airbag against the outer periphery of the lower connecting flange.
[0017] Using the above technical solution, the main function of the lower connecting flange is to provide a mounting surface for a sealed connection with the lower end of the airbag, ensuring that there is no gas leakage between the airbag and the piston. Adding a lower clamping ring further improves the tightness of the connection between the airbag and the piston.
[0018] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured such that: the upper cover assembly has an upper connecting flange at the end facing the airbag, the upper end of the airbag is fitted around the outer periphery of the upper connecting flange, and an upper clamping ring is provided between the airbag and the upper connecting flange to press the upper end of the airbag against the outer periphery of the upper connecting flange.
[0019] Using the above technical solution, the main function of the upper connecting flange is to provide an installation surface for a sealed connection with the upper end of the airbag, ensuring that there is no gas leakage between the airbag and the upper cover assembly. Adding an upper clamping ring further enhances the tightness of the connection between the airbag and the upper cover assembly.
[0020] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured such that: an anti-detachment ring is provided on the outer periphery of the upper buckling ring, a limiting ring groove is provided at the upper end of the anti-detachment ring, the upper cover assembly is provided with a step that matches the limiting ring groove corresponding to the limiting ring groove, and a skirt is provided at the lower end of the anti-detachment ring, the skirt extending toward the side away from the upper cover assembly and closely adhering to the outer surface of the airbag.
[0021] The above technical solution utilizes a locking ring groove that mates with a step to facilitate the installation and positioning of the anti-detachment ring. A skirt is included to prevent the airbag from flipping upwards after inflation. Furthermore, the anti-detachment ring as a whole further strengthens the sealing connection between the upper end of the airbag and the top cover assembly.
[0022] The aforementioned cockpit suspension assembly can be further configured such that the pneumatic components include air nozzles.
[0023] Using the above technical solution, an air tank can be easily connected via an air nozzle to perform gas inflation and deflation operations on the airbags in the suspension system.

During operation, when the vehicle is traveling on uneven road surfaces, the suspension system will be subjected to vibrations and impacts from the road surface. At this time, the gas not only flows between the main air chamber a and the auxiliary air chamber b in the airbag 1, but also flows between the gas nozzle 7 on the piston 2 and the air tank 8. In this way, the direction of gas flow always flows back and forth along the main air chamber a, the auxiliary air chamber b, and the supplementary air chamber c, thereby regulating the internal pressure of the airbag 1, further absorbing and reducing vibration, and improving the ride comfort of the cockpit.
[0035] A lower connecting flange 9 is provided at the end of the piston 2 facing the airbag 1. The lower end of the airbag 1 is fitted onto the outer periphery of the lower connecting flange 9, and a lower clamping ring 10 is provided between the airbag 1 and the lower connecting flange 9 to press the lower end of the airbag 1 tightly against the outer periphery of the lower connecting flange 9.

[0039] The piston 2 is disassembled into a housing 18 and a support plate 17 to facilitate the machining of the auxiliary air chamber c. A damping orifice 19 is used to allow gas flow between the main air chamber a and the auxiliary air chamber b. Gas in the main air chamber a flows into the piston assembly chamber through the damping orifice 19 according to pressure changes.

[0046] In embodiments one through four, by introducing the air nozzle 7 and the air tank 8, particularly the additional air chamber c within the air tank 8, the total gas volume is increased compared to the air spring assemblies disclosed in the prior art. This allows for more effective regulation and control of the air pressure in the suspension system, optimizing the suspension effect in the cockpit and improving vehicle stability and ride comfort during driving. Furthermore, during installation, the air tank 8 does not need to be directly fixed to the airbag 1 or piston assembly; it can be directly fixed to the vehicle body.
