AI Technical Summary
During the installation of automotive air springs, factors such as chassis bracket tooling tolerances and body positioning hole size tolerances can cause the upper air chamber bolts to not be fully aligned with the body positioning holes, resulting in a longer assembly process.
Design an upper air chamber top cover structure that can drive the air spring assembly to move. The top cover and the upper air chamber are connected by a rotating groove, and the position of the air spring and the body can be easily adjusted by using a straight pin and a groove. Combined with the matching insertion of the stud and the positioning hole of the body, it is ensured that the sealing ring will not be twisted or deformed.
It reduces the operation time of each workstation, improves the cycle efficiency of the production line, and avoids the torsional deformation and leakage of the internal seals of the air spring.
