AI Technical Summary
In existing automotive air suspension systems, the contact between the air spring and the tire leads to uneven force distribution, making the system prone to tilting and reducing its service life. Furthermore, the irregularly shaped guide arm structure has low strength, low stability, and high cost.
The system adopts an anti-offset air suspension design, including guide arms, guide arm brackets, axles, air springs, and airbag connecting beams. The alignment design of screw holes and mounting holes ensures that the center of gravity of the air spring is located in the center of the airbag connecting beam, avoiding offset installation. Reinforcing ribs are added to the bottom of the airbag connecting beam to improve strength.
This achieves uniform force distribution on the air spring, extends its service life, reduces manufacturing costs, and improves the stability and strength of the system.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive air suspension systems, specifically to an anti-offset air suspension. Background Technology
[0002] Air suspension refers to a connection device between the vehicle body, frame, and wheels. In existing automotive air suspension systems, to avoid contact between the air spring and the tire, and given the limited installation space, an eccentric connection is often used between the air spring and the guide arm, i.e., ... Figure 1 As shown, the part of the guide arm 1 that contacts the air spring 4 is deviated from the center of the air spring 4, and the offset is quite large. As a result, the air spring 4 is prone to tilting due to uneven force, which reduces the service life of the air spring 4, or even causes it to fail or be damaged. In addition, the installation position of the guide arm is relatively fixed. In the existing technology, there are also ways to change the shape of the guide arm to meet the customer's requirements for center alignment of the installation position. However, such irregular guide arm structures have low strength, low stability, and high manufacturing cost, which is not conducive to widespread use. Utility Model Content

They should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second," etc., are used for descriptive purposes only and do not specifically refer to order or sequence, nor are they intended to limit this utility model. They are merely used to distinguish components or operations described using the same technical terms and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.
[0020] In the description of this utility model, it should also be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "setting" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, an anti-offset air suspension includes two guide arms 1, two guide arm supports 2 adapted to the guide arms 1, an axle 3, two air springs 4, and an airbag connecting beam 5. One end of each guide arm 1 is rotatably connected to the corresponding guide arm support 2, and the top end of the guide arm support 2 is fixedly mounted upwards to the bottom of the overall vehicle frame; the other end is fixedly mounted with an air spring 4, and the top end of the air spring 4 is also fixedly mounted upwards to the bottom of the overall vehicle frame. Combined with... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the guide arm 1 includes a mounting portion 11, a first connecting portion 12, a bearing portion 13, a second connecting portion 14, and a hinge portion 15 arranged sequentially from front to back. These components are integrally formed by forging. The mounting portion 11 has two mounting holes 16 for mounting air springs 4, extending vertically through the mounting portion. Both mounting holes 16 are located on the central axis along the length of the mounting portion 11. The first connecting portion 12 is inclined upwards from the mounting portion and connected to the bearing portion 13, with rounded chamfers. An integrally formed bearing platform 17 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the bearing portion 13, primarily used to support and connect the axle 3. The upper surface of the bearing platform 17 has a groove with the same curvature as the axle 3 for a stable connection. The second connecting portion 14 is used to fixally connect the bearing portion 13 and the hinge portion 15. The hinge portion 15 has a transverse hinge hole and can be configured with a rolled ear structure for rotatable connection with the guide arm bracket 2. The guide arm bracket 2 includes a connecting plate 21, two side plates 22, and a bushing. The two vertical sides of the connecting plate 21 are respectively connected and fixed to the two side plates 22, forming an integral piece, and the two side plates 22 are parallel to each other. The bushing is placed between the two side plates 22, and its two ends pass through the side plates 22 on both sides and are detachably fixed to them. The hinge part 15 in the guide arm 1 is rotatably fitted onto the bushing, so that the guide arm 1 can rotate relative to the guide arm bracket 2.
[0023] Reference Figure 6 As shown, both ends of the airbag connecting beam 5 are provided with two screw holes 51 that are adapted to the mounting holes 16 on the guide arm 1, for connecting the air spring 4; combined with Figure 3 As shown, the two ends of the airbag connecting beam 5 are respectively mounted on the mounting portions 11 of the two guide arms 1, arranged laterally. The screw holes 51 and mounting holes 16 are aligned coaxially. The air spring 4 sits on the ends of the airbag connecting beam 5 and the mounting portions 11 of the guide arms 1. Its bottom is fixedly connected by bolts passing through the corresponding screw holes 51 and mounting holes 16. At this time, the center of gravity of the air spring 4 falls on the length center axis of the airbag connecting beam 5, which can support the air spring 4, making the force evenly distributed and avoiding offset installation. The airbag connecting beam 5 is relatively perpendicular to the length direction of the guide arms 1 and relatively parallel to the axle 3. In order to further improve the strength of the airbag connecting beam 5, multiple reinforcing ribs are welded and fixed to the bottom of the airbag connecting beam 5. The airbag connecting beam 5 is also provided with multiple through holes 52 that are evenly spaced to reduce resonance and improve its service life.
[0024] Of course, the above embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments, and are not intended to limit this utility model. This utility model is not limited to the examples given above. Any changes, modifications, additions, or substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
