In the above-mentioned air spring bag 1-1 replacement operation process, when clamping and operating metal protection sleeve 1-2 and air spring bag 1-1, radial extrusion is needed on metal protection sleeve 1-2 at the position corresponding to internal support ring 1-3, and air spring bag 1-1 is tightly fixed by the cooperation of the radial contraction of metal protection sleeve 1-2 and internal support ring 1-3.
[0003] In the prior art, the radial extrusion of metal protection sleeve 1-2 is driven by the vertical movement of a wedge block arranged below the workpiece, and then the radial extrusion of metal protection sleeve is driven by the wedge block. Since the integrated automobile air spring installation equipment (i.e. the equipment integrating the two processes of assembling the metal protection sleeve and the air spring bag of the automobile air spring and compressing the air spring bag) is provided with a lifting platform and a lifting platform driving mechanism, the radial extrusion of metal protection sleeve by the vertical movement of the wedge block driven by the cylinder exists the problem of mutual interference of the components in the automobile air spring installation equipment. To solve this problem, the height of the workbench needs to be improved, which brings inconvenience to the operator's feeding and discharging operation, thereby affecting the work efficiency.

The radial contraction of the metal protective sleeve 1-2, in conjunction with the internal support ring 1-3, will press and fix the bladder 1-1.
[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 This utility model provides a radial extrusion device for a protective sleeve of an automotive air spring bladder. It comprises an annular mold base 2, radial push-pull cylinders 3, an extrusion module assembly 4, and a hydraulic control system. The annular mold base 2 has a set of radial through holes evenly arranged circumferentially. Radial push-pull cylinders 3 are installed in these radial through holes.

A sealing cover plate 11 is provided at the outer end of each radial push-pull cylinder 3, and the sealing cover plate 11 is bolted to the outer wall of the annular mold base 2. The piston rod of the radial push-pull cylinder 3 extends from the inner wall of the annular mold base, and the extended end of the piston rod is fixedly assembled with the extrusion module assembly 4.
[0034] See Figure 2 The radial compression device for the protective sleeve of the automotive air spring bladder described in this utility model has a hydraulic control system including a hydraulic pump 9, an oil tank 10, a two-position four-way directional valve 6, a common rail oil chamber 5, a check valve 7, and an overflow valve 8. The inlet pipe of the hydraulic pump 9 is inserted into the oil tank 10, and the outlet pipe of the hydraulic pump 9 is connected to the common rail oil chamber 5. The common rail oil chamber 5 is connected to the first inlet and outlet ports 4-1 of each radial push-pull cylinder 4 through a set of pipes.
