Each car has a total of 20 air suspension devices that support the car body. The air suspension system of the maglev train is a key component to ensure its smooth operation and passenger comfort. It is mainly composed of rubber air springs and linear bearings.

[0003] Currently, patent CN208006975U discloses an air suspension device for maglev trains. The air suspension device includes an air spring assembly and a sliding platform assembly. The sliding platform assembly is mounted on top of the air spring assembly, and its bottom is mounted on a suspension frame. Air inlets are located on both sides of the sliding platform assembly. The advantages of this invention are: it avoids extensive welding work, reducing costs through mass production; it can meet the requirements of all interfaces at different locations, avoiding the common problem of incorrect assembly positions for multiple similar structures.

[0004] Existing maglev trains require air suspension to support the wheels when starting and stopping. The wheels vibrate as they move on the rails, which compresses the airbags. The guide mechanism inside the airbags constantly expands and contracts, which accelerates the wear of the guide mechanism and affects the service life of the air suspension. To solve the above problems, this application proposes an air suspension device for maglev trains. Utility Model Content

[0005] (I) Purpose of the utility model

The bottom fixing frame is welded to the shock-absorbing column. A telescopic connecting seat is installed on the top of the shock-absorbing column. A telescopic connecting column is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the telescopic connecting seat. A top fixing plate is connected to the top of the telescopic connecting column. A bottom fixing plate is connected to the bottom of the telescopic connecting seat. An airbag is provided on the surface of the telescopic connecting seat and the telescopic connecting column.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely exemplary and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the present invention proposes an air suspension device for a maglev train, comprising a shock-absorbing column 1 and a bottom fixing frame 2. The bottom fixing frame 2 is welded to the shock-absorbing column 1. A telescopic connecting seat 3 is installed on the top of the shock-absorbing column 1. A telescopic connecting column 4 is movably inserted into the inner cavity of the telescopic connecting seat 3. A top fixing plate 5 is connected to the top of the telescopic connecting column 4. A bottom fixing plate 11 is connected to the bottom of the telescopic connecting seat 3. An airbag 10 is provided on the surface of the telescopic connecting seat 3 and the telescopic connecting column 4. The two ends of the airbag 10 are respectively connected to the top fixing plate 5 and the bottom fixing plate 11.

[0027] An oil injection pipe 7 is conductively connected to the top fixed plate 5. An oil injection pump 8 and an oil injection solenoid valve 9 are respectively installed on the oil injection pipe 7. An oil outlet ring 17 is sleeved on the top of the telescopic connecting column 4. The oil outlet ring 17 is connected to the oil injection pipe 7. The surface of the oil outlet ring 17 is provided with an oil outlet hole.

[0028] It should be noted that during the inflation and deflation process, the expansion and contraction of the airbag 10 can drive the telescopic connecting column 4 to rise and fall within the telescopic connecting seat 3. The telescopic connecting column 4 and the telescopic connecting seat 3 work together to guide the expansion and contraction of the airbag 10, thereby improving the lifting accuracy of the air suspension. The oil injection pipe 7 is connected to the oil injection equipment. After the oil injection solenoid valve 9 is opened, the oil injection pump 8 can draw oil and inject it into the oil outlet ring 17. The oil outlet ring 17 injects oil onto the surface of the telescopic connecting column 4 through the oil outlet hole, which can lubricate the surface of the telescopic connecting column 4 and reduce wear on the telescopic connecting column 4 during the lifting and lowering movement.

[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, a top fixing bracket 6 is welded to the surface of the top fixing plate 5.

[0030] It should be noted that the top of the air suspension is secured by the top mounting bracket 6.

[0031] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 As shown, the bottom of the bottom fixing plate 11 is connected to a drain pipe 12, which is connected to the airbag 10. A drain solenoid valve 13 is installed on the drain pipe 12.

[0032] It should be noted that after the discharge solenoid valve 13 is opened, the gas inside the airbag 10 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 12. When the air inside the airbag 10 is discharged quickly, the airflow can expel the debris generated by the wear of the moving components inside the airbag 10, which can reduce the damage of debris to the airbag 10, improve the protection of the airbag 10, and extend the service life of the airbag 10.

[0033] In this embodiment, as Figure 4 As shown, the outer wall surface of the telescopic connecting column 4 is provided with a limiting seat 14, which is located below the oil outlet ring 17.

[0034] It should be noted that the limiting seat 14 can limit the lifting and lowering movement of the telescopic connecting column 4.

[0035] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the bottom fixing plate 11 is connected to an air injection pipe 15 and an exhaust pipe 16 at its bottom, and the air injection pipe 15 and the exhaust pipe 16 are arranged symmetrically.

[0036] It should be noted that air can be injected into the inner cavity of the airbag 10 through the air injection tube 15, and when the airbag 10 is to be deflated, air can be discharged through the exhaust tube 16, thus realizing the inflation and deflation of the airbag 10.

[0037] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: The top and bottom of the air suspension are fixed by the bottom fixing bracket 2 and the top fixing bracket 6 respectively. Air can be inflated into the inner cavity of the airbag 10 through the air injection pipe 15. When deflating the airbag 10, air can be discharged through the exhaust pipe 16, thus realizing the inflation and deflation of the airbag 10. During the inflation and deflation process, the expansion and contraction of the airbag 10 can drive the telescopic connecting column 4 to rise and fall within the telescopic connecting seat 3. The telescopic connecting column 4 and the telescopic connecting seat 3 work together to guide the expansion and contraction of the airbag 10, thereby improving the lifting accuracy of the air suspension. The oil injection pipe 7 is connected to the oil injection equipment. After the oil injection solenoid valve 9 is opened, the oil injection pump 8 can draw oil and inject it into the oil outlet ring 17. The oil outlet ring 17 injects oil onto the surface of the telescopic connecting column 4 through the oil outlet hole, which can lubricate the surface of the telescopic connecting column 4 and reduce wear during the lifting and lowering movement. After the discharge solenoid valve 13 is opened, the gas in the airbag 10 can be discharged through the discharge pipe 12. When the air in the airbag 10 is discharged quickly, the airflow can discharge the debris generated by the wear of the moving components in the airbag 10, which can reduce the damage of debris to the airbag 10, improve the protection of the airbag 10, and extend the service life of the airbag 10.

[0038] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of this utility model are merely illustrative or explanatory of the principles of this utility model and do not constitute a limitation thereof. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Furthermore, the appended claims are intended to cover all variations and modifications falling within the scope and boundaries of the appended claims or their equivalents.
