DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present application will now be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] Please refer to Figures 1-3 Fig. 1 shows a piston component of an air pump for an automobile air suspension system, which comprises a primary connecting rod 1 and a secondary connecting rod 2.

[0026] As Figure 1 , 3 shown, the primary connecting rod 1 of the present embodiment is vertically provided with an air inlet channel 10 at the bottom, the bottom of the air inlet channel 10 is provided with a primary suction valve piece 4, the top of the primary suction valve piece 4 is provided with a primary fixed ring 3, the primary fixed ring 3 is rotatably installed at the center position of the primary connecting rod 1, the secondary connecting rod 2 is provided with a secondary fixed ring 6 at the top, the secondary fixed ring 6 is rotatably installed at the center position of the secondary connecting rod 2, the secondary connecting rod 2 is provided with a needle bearing 11 at the center position, the needle bearing 11 is provided with a connecting rod pin 12 inside, and the bottom of the secondary connecting rod 2 is installed with a ball bearing 13 inside the primary connecting rod 1; wherein the primary connecting rod 1 and the secondary connecting rod 2 are connected by the connecting rod pin 12, and the needle bearing 11 is installed to connect them, the primary fixed ring 3 is fixed by three small screws, the secondary fixed ring 6 is locked by the central fastening screw two 9, and the ball bearing 13 on the secondary connecting rod 2 passes through the external connecting rod, and the relative movement of the primary connecting rod 1 and the secondary connecting rod 2 drives the movement of the piston, realizing the reciprocating movement of the piston.

[0027] As Figure 2As shown, the bottom of the first-stage connecting rod 1 in this embodiment is provided with a boss 14, and a certain distance is maintained between the fastening screw 8 and the boss 14. When the fastening screw 8 is locked on the first-stage connecting rod 1, the screw head on the fastening screw 8 is completely pressed against the boss 14, and its diameter is larger than the diameter of the boss 14, thus completely covering the boss 14. The first-stage intake valve plate 4 is sleeved on the boss 14, and it cannot be disengaged by the obstruction of the screw head. The entire first-stage intake valve plate 4 can move up and down on the boss 14. In the static state, the first-stage intake valve plate 4 is pressed against the screw head of the fastening screw 8 by gravity, the intake channel 10 is opened, and the airflow flows downward. When the airflow enters the intake channel 10 upward, due to the change in airflow velocity, the pressure difference between the upper and lower parts of the first-stage intake valve plate 4 increases. The lower air pressure pushes the first-stage intake valve plate 4 to press against the intake channel 10, thereby closing the intake channel 10 and realizing the one-way opening and closing of the intake channel 10.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the first-stage intake valve plate 4 in this embodiment is circular. The first-stage intake valve plate 4 is used to block the intake passage 10 on the first-stage connecting rod 1. Conventional intake valve plates are mostly square metal plates cut into rectangles with a rounded front end. The cut portion is connected to the metal plate at the tail, and the rounded area covers the intake passage 10. The opening and closing of the intake passage 10 is controlled by the ductility of the metal. In comparison, the circular first-stage intake valve plate 4 is simpler to manufacture. Its integrated structure achieves uniform circumferential force distribution, reducing local stress concentration and thus lowering the risk of fatigue fracture. The overall movement of the first-stage intake valve plate 4 relies on the boss 14 rather than the ductility of the metal, which reduces vibration during movement, thereby greatly reducing noise and interference during operation.

[0029] like Figure 3 As shown, the air intake channel 10 in this embodiment is provided in four places. In a conventional case, each valve tongue of the intake valve plate corresponds to a single air intake channel 10. In order to reduce the cutting of finished products, only a few air intake channels 10 are often set to reduce the number of valve tongues, thereby reducing the risk of valve tongue breakage and extending service life. However, the number and size of the corresponding air intake channels 10 are limited, and the flow rate and speed of airflow are limited. The piston air supply will not be timely and will affect the overall operation. However, the circular first-stage intake valve plate 4 can cover the entire surface, so that more air intake channels 10 can be set. The corresponding air intake channels 10 can be set wider. Under the premise that the first-stage intake valve plate 4 can cover the surface, there is no need to adjust the specifications of the first-stage intake valve plate 4, thereby increasing the intake flow rate, reducing airflow pulsation, and making the intake more sufficient and stable.

[0030] like Figures 1-3As shown, the first-stage fixed ring 3 and the first-stage connecting rod 1 of the embodiment are provided with a piston first-stage sealing bowl 5, and the second-stage fixed ring 6 and the second-stage connecting rod 2 are provided with a piston second-stage sealing bowl 7; wherein the piston first-stage sealing bowl 5 reduces the influence of the vibration generated by the whole piston movement on the screw fixation, and the piston second-stage sealing bowl 7 is locked on the second-stage connecting rod 2 by locking the second-stage fixed ring 6 with the second-stage tightening screw 9 to absorb the vibration and prevent the second-stage tightening screw 9 from loosening.

[0031] Working principle: in the state of the piston at rest, the first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 is opened to the downward air inlet channel 10, the piston inhales air, and the air flow flows upward into the air inlet channel 10; due to the change of the air flow velocity, the pressure difference of the first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 increases, the air pressure at the bottom pushes the first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 to adhere to the air inlet channel 10, the air pressure in the air inlet channel 10 decreases, and the whole first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 is pressed and combined at the air inlet channel 10, so as to close the air inlet channel 10; when the internal air pressure increases, the air flow in the air inlet channel 10 flows downward, blows the first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 to separate from the air inlet channel 10, so as to open the air inlet channel 10, the first-stage air inlet valve piece 4 is hung by the first-stage tightening screw 8 to prevent it from separating, and the piston realizes a cycle work, so as to realize the one-way opening and closing of the air inlet channel 10.

[0032] The utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, anyone should know the structural change made under the inspiration of the utility model, any technical scheme with the same or similar technical scheme of the utility model falls into the protection scope of the utility model. The utility model is not described in detail, and the technical, shape and structure parts are all known technologies.
