[0012] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0013] This invention provides an easy-to-install automotive air spring. It offers the following advantages:

[0014] (I) This easy-to-install automotive air spring, through the setting of installation components, adopts a sliding connection between the mounting shell and the fixing ring, which allows the fixing ring to easily slide into the mounting shell, simplifying the installation process, reducing installation time and operation difficulty. At the same time, through the ingenious design of the adjustment knob, positioning shell and top spring, simply pressing and sliding the adjustment knob can utilize the elastic potential energy of the top spring to automatically achieve a tight abutment between the retaining frame and the fixing ring, quickly completing a stable connection between the buffer airbag and the mounting shell, without the need for complicated tools and cumbersome operation steps, thus improving installation efficiency.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-7 This utility model provides a technical solution: an easy-to-install automotive air spring, comprising: a buffer airbag 1, with fixed rings 4 fixedly connected to both ends of the buffer airbag 1; a mounting assembly 2, the inner wall of the mounting assembly 2 being slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixed rings 4, the mounting assembly 2 being provided in two sets, the mounting assembly 2 being used to limit the position of the fixed rings 4 by sliding; a protective assembly 3, the outer wall of the protective assembly 3 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the mounting assembly 2, the protective assembly 3 being used to block external objects; the mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting shell 22, the mounting shell 22 being provided in two sets, and a mounting plate 21 being fixedly connected to the top of each set of mounting shells 22, a baffle 24 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 22, an adjusting knob 26 being slidably connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 22 through a limiting groove 23, and the limiting groove 23 being opened in the walls on both sides of the mounting shell 22, a positioning shell 28 being fixedly connected to the outer wall of the adjusting knob 26, and a top spring 29 being fixedly connected to the inner wall of the positioning shell 28.

[0026] Positioning pins 27 are fixedly connected to the inner walls on both sides of the retaining frame 24. The outer walls of the positioning pins 27 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the positioning shell 28. The end of the top spring 29 away from the positioning shell 28 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the retaining frame 24. The inner wall of the mounting shell 22 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing ring 4. The inner wall of the fixing ring 4 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the limiting pin 25. The outer wall of the retaining frame 24 is in contact with the outer wall of the fixing ring 4. The outer wall of the positioning shell 28 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the retaining frame 24. Press the adjusting knob 26 towards the mounting shell 22, and then slide... The adjusting knob 26 can drive the retaining frame 24 to slide within the mounting housing 22. After the retaining frame 24 slides to the fixing ring 4, and the positioning housing 28 slides to the lowest circular groove of the limiting groove 23, the pressing force on the adjusting knob 26 is released. Because when the adjusting knob 26 was pressed before, the top spring 29 was compressed and thus accumulated elastic potential energy. When the pressing force on the adjusting knob 26 is released, the top spring 29 releases elastic potential energy, thereby pushing the positioning housing 28 to slide along the positioning post 27 and slide into the circular groove at the bottom of the limiting groove 23, thus limiting the position of the positioning housing 28.

[0027] The protective component 3 includes baffles 31, of which two sets are provided. Each set of baffles 31 has a lower baffle shell 35 slidably connected to its bottom. A fixing block 32 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 31, and a locking plate 34 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the fixing block 32. An upper baffle shell 38 is slidably connected to the top of the baffle 31, and a locking block 33 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the baffle 31. A connecting plate 37 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower baffle shell 35. The outer wall of the connecting plate 37 is connected to the outer wall of a set of mounting shells 22. The outer wall of the other set of mounting shells 22 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the upper baffle shell 38. The outer wall of the locking block 33 is engaged with the inner wall of the lower baffle shell 35 through the locking groove 36, and the locking groove 36 is opened in the wall of the lower baffle shell 35. The two sets of baffles 31 are slid upward, forcing the locking block 33 on the baffle 31 to align with the locking groove 36 on the lower baffle shell 35. Then the force on the baffle 31 is released. After the locking block 33 slides into the locking groove 36, the position of the two sets of baffles 31 can be restricted again.

[0028] The core component of this air spring is the buffer airbag 1, and the fixing rings 4 fixedly connected to its two ends are the key parts for connecting other components.

[0029] Mounting assembly 2 is designed for convenient installation of the air spring. It consists of two sets of mounting shells 22, each with a mounting plate 21 fixed to its top for connection and fixation with automotive components. The inner wall of the mounting shell 22 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the retaining ring 4, allowing the retaining ring 4 to slide within the mounting shell 22. Simultaneously, a limiting post 25 inside the mounting shell 22 restricts the position of the retaining ring 4 within the mounting shell 22. The inner wall of the mounting shell 22 is slidably connected to an adjusting knob 26 via a limiting groove 23, which is located on both side walls of the mounting shell 22. The outer wall of the adjusting knob 26 is fixedly connected to a positioning shell 28, and the inner wall of the positioning shell 28 is fixed with a top spring 29. When the retaining ring 4 is inserted into the mounting shell 22, the adjusting knob 26 is first moved towards the mounting shell 22. Press in the direction, and then slide the adjustment knob 26 to drive the baffle 24 to slide inside the mounting shell 22. After the baffle 24 slides to the fixing ring 4, and the positioning shell 28 slides to the lowest circular groove of the limiting groove 23, release the pressing force on the adjustment knob 26. Because when the adjustment knob 26 was pressed before, the top spring 29 was compressed and accumulated elastic potential energy. When the pressing force on the adjustment knob 26 is released, the top spring 29 releases elastic potential energy, thereby pushing the positioning shell 28 to slide along the positioning post 27 and slide into the circular groove at the bottom of the limiting groove 23, thereby restricting the position of the positioning shell 28, and thus restricting the position of the baffle 24, forcing the baffle 24 to press tightly against the fixing ring 4, thereby restricting the position of the fixing ring 4, and realizing a stable connection between the buffer airbag 1 and the mounting shell 22.

[0030] The protective component 3 provides additional protection for the air spring. It consists of two sets of baffles 31. The bottom of the baffles 31 is slidably connected to the lower baffle 35, and the top is slidably connected to the upper baffle 38, facilitating the exposure of the airbag 1 during maintenance. When it is necessary to protect the airbag 1, simply bring the two sets of baffles 31 close together until they are in contact. Then, align the groove on the locking plate 34 with the fixing block 32 on the two sets of baffles 31. Next, slide the locking plate 34 along the outer wall of the fixing block 32. Then, align the groove on the locking plate 34 with the bottom and slide it vertically downwards to lock the locking plate 34 onto the fixing block 32, thereby restricting the position of the two fixing blocks 32 and thus restricting the position of the baffles 31. Finally, slide the two sets of baffles 31 upwards, forcing the locking blocks 3 on the baffles 31 to engage. 3. Align the lower baffle 35 with the slot 36, then release the force on the baffle 31. After the locking block 33 slides into the slot 36, the position of the two sets of baffles 31 is restricted again. The lower baffle 35 and the upper baffle 38 are both connected to the mounting shell 22 through the connecting plate 37, thereby firmly combining the protective component 3 and the mounting component 2 to form a whole. The protective component 3 blocks external objects to prevent them from damaging the buffer airbag 1 and extends the service life of the air spring. When the buffer airbag 1 is compressed by force, the mesh elastic structure layer on the baffle 31 deforms synchronously, so that there is room for movement between the two sets of mounting components 2. A sliding groove is opened in the wall of the upper baffle 38 to restrict the position of the baffle 31 and prevent the baffle 31 from detaching from the upper baffle 38.

[0031] In summary, this easy-to-install automotive air spring achieves convenient installation and secure fixation of the airbag 1 through the mounting component 2, while the protective component 3 blocks external objects, protecting the airbag 1 and providing reliable support for the stable driving of the vehicle.
