AI Technical Summary
The existing exhaust check valve is large in size, which requires a large check valve installation chamber and occupies a lot of space.
An exhaust one-way valve was designed, comprising an exhaust chamber consisting of a base and a cover, with a spring and an annular valve plate inside. A guide post is connected to the cover, and the annular valve plate moves on the guide post. The design of the guide post and the air passage hole allows the valve plate to close or open the airflow channel, reducing the volume of the valve plate.
This design achieves a reduction in the size of the exhaust check valve, lowers the requirement for mounting chambers on the valve block, and enables the valve block to be miniaturized, resulting in advantages such as simple structure and high reliability.

[0002] An automotive air suspension system includes a valve block, air springs, an air tank, a dryer, a piston pump, and a solenoid valve assembly. The valve block has air inlets and outlets, both connected to a flow channel. The valve block contains the flow channel, on which the air springs, air tank, dryer, piston pump, and solenoid valve assembly are mounted. These components are connected via the flow channel, and the solenoid valve assembly controls the opening and closing of the flow channel. To ensure unidirectional airflow from the piston pump outlet to the dryer inlet and from the dryer outlet to the air tank, the valve block typically has exhaust check valves connected to the flow channel. One exhaust check valve is located between the piston pump outlet and the dryer inlet, and the other is located between the dryer outlet and the air tank.
[0003] Existing exhaust check valves can be installed on valve blocks. For example, Chinese patent document CN205244495U discloses an exhaust check valve, including a valve body, valve core, spring, outer nut, and rubber sleeve. One end of the valve body has an inlet section with an exhaust channel, and the other end of the valve body has an external thread. The outer nut is threaded to the valve body, forming a cavity between the outer nut and the valve body. An exhaust hole is provided on the side wall of the cavity. The valve core is installed in the cavity to seal or open the exhaust channel. The spring is located between the outer nut and the valve core. The rubber sleeve is located at the exhaust hole. The valve core of the above-mentioned exhaust check valve has a spherical structure, resulting in a large volume of exhaust check valve. When installing the above-mentioned exhaust check valve on a valve block, a large check valve installation chamber is required. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] An exhaust one-way valve includes a base 1, which is a barrel-shaped structure with one open end. A cover 2 is installed at the opening of the base 1, and the base 1 and the cover 2 together form an exhaust chamber 102. It also includes a spring 4 and an annular valve plate 3 disposed within the exhaust chamber 102. A guide post 202 is disposed on the cover 2, located within the exhaust chamber 102 and extending towards the bottom wall of the base 1. The length L1 of the guide post 202 is less than or equal to the distance L2 between the inner wall of the cover 2 and the bottom wall of the base 1. A first flow path is formed on the side wall of the base 1. A vent 101 is provided, and a second vent 201 is provided on the cover 2. Both the first vent 101 and the second vent 201 are connected to the exhaust chamber 102. Multiple second vents 201 are provided and arranged circumferentially along the guide post 202. The annular valve plate 3 and the spring 4 are both movably fitted on the guide post 202. The annular valve plate 3 is located between the cover 2 and the spring 4. When the annular valve plate 3 is in contact with the inner wall of the cover 2, the annular valve plate 3 closes the second vent 201.
[0022] The valve block 6 contains a connected flow channel 601, a piston pump mounting chamber 602, and a one-way valve mounting chamber 603. The piston pump is installed in the piston pump mounting chamber 602, and the exhaust one-way valve is installed in the one-way valve mounting chamber 603. The base 1 closes the outer opening of the one-way valve mounting chamber 603. The cylinder liner 8 of the piston pump is coaxially mounted with the base 1, and one end of the cylinder liner 8 abuts against the outer wall of the cover 2. The piston body 7 of the piston pump is located inside the cylinder liner 8 and reciprocates linearly along the axial direction of the cylinder liner 8. The piston body 7 and the cylinder liner 8 are in a sliding seal. The compression end face of the piston body 7, the inner wall of the cylinder liner 8, and the outer wall of the cover 2 form a compression chamber 801. The second vent 201 is correspondingly arranged with and connected to the compression chamber 801. The end of the piston body 7 away from its own compression end and the inner wall of the cylinder liner 8 form an intake chamber 802. The sizes of the compression chamber 801 and the intake chamber 802 change with the movement of the piston body 7. When the piston body 7 moves closer to the cover 2, the compression chamber 801 shrinks, and the air in the compression chamber 801 pushes open the annular valve plate 3, causing the annular valve plate 3 to detach from the inner wall of the cover 2. The second vent 201 then connects to the exhaust chamber 102. At this time, the spring 4 is compressed, and the air in the compression chamber 801 enters the exhaust chamber 102 through the second vent 201, and then enters the flow channel 601 through the first vent 101. When the piston body 7 moves away from the cover 2, the compression chamber 801 expands, and the airflow causes the annular valve plate 3 to adhere to the inner wall of the cover 2. The annular valve plate 3 closes the second vent 201, and the spring 4 extends to prevent gas in the exhaust chamber 102 from entering the compression chamber 801 through the second vent 201.
[0023] Specifically, the bottom wall of base 1 refers to the wall opposite to its own opening. It should be noted that there is a gap between the outer side of the guide post 202 and the inner side wall of base 1.
[0024] Preferably, one end of the spring 4 is welded to the bottom wall of the base 1, and the other end is welded to the side of the annular valve plate 3 away from the cover 2.
[0025] Preferably, the length L1 of the guide post 202 is less than the distance L2 between the inner wall of the cover 2 and the bottom wall of the base 1.

The groove 203 is adapted to the protrusion 701 located at the compression end of the piston body 7. When the piston body 7 moves towards the cover 2 and the end face of the compression end of the piston body 7 is in contact with the outer wall of the cover 2, the protrusion 701 extends into the groove 203.
[0027] Preferably, an annular sealing ring 5 is provided on the outer wall of the cover 2, coaxially arranged with it, and the second vent hole 201 is located inside the annular sealing ring 5. The annular sealing ring 5 is used to seal the gap between the outer wall of the cover 2 and the end face of the cylinder liner 8.
[0028] The annular sealing ring 5 can be made of silicone. Preferably, the annular sealing ring 5 is made of rubber.
[0029] Preferably, the base 1, cover 2, annular valve plate 3, and spring 4 are all made of hard metal.
[0030] Preferably, the cover 2 and the guide post 202 are integrally formed. The groove 203 can be formed by stamping.
[0031] The base 1 and the cover 2 can be connected by a threaded structure. Preferably, the base 1 and the cover 2 are connected by a snap-fit structure.
[0032] As a further preferred option, a sealing gasket can also be provided between the base 1 and the cover 2.
[0033] Preferably, the base 1 includes an exhaust section 103 and a mounting section 104 arranged sequentially along its own axial direction; the mounting section 104 protrudes from the exhaust section 103 in a direction away from the axis of the base 1; the exhaust section 103 is adjacent to the opening of the base 1, and the mounting section 104 is adjacent to the bottom wall of the base 1; the first vent 101 is located in the exhaust section 103.
