Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of air spring technology, and more specifically to a rear air spring assembly positioning structure and a rear air spring assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the development of the automotive industry and the popularization of new energy vehicles, the application scenarios of automotive air suspension systems have become increasingly widespread, among which air springs are one of the key components of air suspension.

[0003] During vehicle operation, due to excessive torsional angle, the rear air spring assembly incorporates a planar bearing structure to release the torsion of the air spring and ensure the durability of the air spring bladder. However, the presence of the planar bearing allows relative rotation between the upper and lower structures of the air spring, resulting in the upper mounting interface of the upper structure and the lower mounting interface of the lower structure being unstable. This makes it impossible to ensure that the upper and lower mounting interfaces are in a relatively fixed state when the air spring is assembled with the vehicle, thus hindering proper assembly. Utility Model Content

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the second connecting segment is fixed perpendicularly to both the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, the free end of the first connecting section extends toward the rotating cover and forms a boss, and the free end of the third connecting section extends toward the air nozzle side and forms a protrusion.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating cover has a notch that matches one end of the positioning pin, and the air nozzle has an air nozzle sealing ring that matches the other end of the positioning pin.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the locating pin is provided with a material reduction groove.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the rear air spring body includes a piston, and the rotating cover is rotatably connected to the piston via a plane bearing.

[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the rotating cover is provided with at least one snap fastener in the circumferential direction and is fastened to the outer side of the top of the piston by the snap fastener.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution, a mounting base is fixedly connected to the end of the piston away from the rotating cover. The mounting base is provided with a lower mounting port, and the top of the rotating cover is provided with an upper mounting port.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution, the first connecting section, the second connecting section, and the third connecting section are integrally formed structures.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] See Figure 1 A rear air spring assembly positioning structure includes a rotating cover 1 and a rear air spring body that can rotate relative to each other. The rotating cover 1 is detachably fixed to the rear air spring body by at least one positioning pin 5. One end of the positioning pin 5 can be inserted into the circumference of the rotating cover 1 and is clearance-fitted with the rotating cover 1. The other end of the positioning pin 5 can be inserted into the air nozzle 4 on the rear air spring body. This ensures that the upper mounting port 13 on the rotating cover 1 and the lower mounting port 61 on the rear air spring body are relatively fixed when the rear air spring assembly is assembled with the vehicle. This achieves the relative fixation of the rotating cover 1 and the rear air spring body, thereby meeting the assembly requirements of the rear air spring assembly with the vehicle.

[0030] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The positioning pin 5 has a three-section structure, including a first connecting section, a second connecting section, and a third connecting section. One end of the second connecting section is fixedly connected to the first connecting section, and the other end is fixedly connected to the third connecting section. The first connecting section is inserted and fixedly connected to the rotating cover 1, and the third connecting section is inserted and fixedly connected to the air nozzle sealing ring 41 of the air nozzle 4. In this embodiment, the second connecting section is vertically fixed to the first connecting section and the third connecting section respectively. The second connecting section is a vertical section, and the first connecting section and the third connecting section are both horizontal sections. Of course, the first connecting section can also be inclined.

[0031] The free end of the first connecting segment extends toward the rotating cover 1 and forms a boss 51. The free end of the third connecting segment extends toward the air nozzle 4 and forms a protrusion. In this embodiment, the protrusion is a cylindrical block 52, but it can also be other shapes. The rotating cover 1 has a notch 12 that matches the boss 51. The notch 12 can be trumpet-shaped, rectangular, circular, or other shapes. (See reference...) Figure 4 The air nozzle 4 is provided with an air nozzle sealing ring 41 that is adapted to the protrusion.

[0032] See Figure 3 The second connecting section is the connecting block 53, and the positioning pin 5 is also provided with a material reduction groove 54. In this embodiment, the material reduction groove 54 is provided on the connecting block 53, but it can also be provided on the first connecting section and the third connecting section.

[0033] It should be noted that the positioning pin 5 can be a one-piece molded structure, that is, the first connecting section, the second connecting section, and the third connecting section are one-piece molded structures. After the complete air spring assembly is assembled into the vehicle, the positioning pin 5 is removed, and the air pipe on the vehicle is inserted into the air valve 4 through the air valve sealing ring 41.

[0034] See Figure 5 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 The rear air spring body includes a piston 3 and a mounting seat 6. The piston 3 is rotatably connected to the rotating cover 1 through a plane bearing 2. The outer ring of the plane bearing 2 is fixed to the rotating cover 1, and the inner ring of the plane bearing is fixed to the top of the piston 3. Alternatively, the inner ring of the plane bearing 2 can be fixed to the rotating cover 1, and the outer ring of the plane bearing can be fixed to the top of the piston 3. The outer edge of the top of the piston 3 extends laterally away from the outer wall of the piston 3 to form a connecting platform. The connecting platform provides installation space for the plane bearing 2. The end of the piston 3 away from the rotating cover 1 is fixedly connected to the mounting seat 6, and the mounting seat 6 is provided with a lower mounting port 61.

[0035] See Figure 4 The top of the rotating cover 1 is provided with an upper mounting port 13. At least one buckle 11 is provided around the rotating cover 1. The rotating cover 1 is fastened to the outer side of the top of the piston 3 by the buckle 11. The buckle 11 serves as a vertical limit for the rotating cover 1 to prevent it from falling off the top of the piston 3, but can meet the rotation requirements of the rotating cover 1 and the piston 3.

[0036] Example 2

[0037] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that this embodiment provides a rear air spring assembly including the rear air spring assembly positioning structure in Embodiment 1.

[0038] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
