Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive air spring technology, specifically to a fast self-balancing automotive air spring assembly. Background Technology

[0002] The smoothness of a car's ride is crucial for the driving experience and traffic safety. In modern automotive engineering, reducing bumps and swaying during driving is a key research direction. Smooth driving not only improves passenger comfort but also has a positive impact on the car's handling and safety. An air spring is a device that uses compressed air to provide elastic support. It adapts to different road conditions by changing the internal air pressure, thereby adjusting the vehicle's height and suspension stiffness.

[0003] Traditional air spring sealing mechanisms are difficult to maintain an effective seal during long-term use. For example, after a car frequently travels on complex road conditions or experiences prolonged driving vibrations, the sealing mechanism may loosen or wear, leading to air leakage. When the sealing effect slightly decreases, it is difficult to make timely and effective adjustments to prevent further deterioration of the air leakage. This can result in the air spring losing its elasticity and affecting the car's driving stability. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fast self-balancing automotive air spring assembly, which solves the problem that traditional air spring sealing mechanisms are difficult to maintain an effective seal during long-term use. For example, after a car frequently travels on complex road conditions or experiences prolonged driving vibrations, the sealing mechanism may loosen or wear, leading to air leakage. When the sealing effect slightly decreases, it is difficult to make timely and effective adjustments to prevent further deterioration of the air leakage, which in turn causes the air spring to lose its elasticity and affects the driving stability of the car.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a fast self-balancing automotive air spring assembly, comprising an air spring body, with flanges fixedly installed at both ends of the air spring body. Each flange has an installation groove inside and a recess inside. The number of recesses is fixed to two, and each recess communicates with the interior of the installation groove. A sealing mechanism is installed inside the installation groove, and the sealing end of the sealing mechanism is located on the outer surface of the flange.

[0007] Furthermore, the sealing mechanism includes a mounting housing that is slidably connected inside the mounting groove, and a plurality of springs are fixedly installed inside the mounting housing.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing block is slidably connected inside the mounting housing, and one side of the fixing block is fixedly connected to one end of several springs.

[0009] Furthermore, a sealing ring is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing block, and the sealing ring extends to the outer surface of the flange.

[0010] Furthermore, a connecting plate is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting housing, and the number of the connecting plates is fixed to two, with the two connecting plates respectively disposed inside the two grooves.

[0011] Furthermore, a screw is rotatably connected inside one of the grooves, the screw is threadedly connected to the flange, and the outer surface of the screw is threadedly connected to the inner surface of one of the connecting plates. A guide slide is fixedly installed inside the other groove, and the outer surface of the guide slide is slidably connected to the inner surface of the other connecting plate.

[0012] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) When the sealing state of the sealing mechanism needs to be adjusted, the screw is rotated. Since the screw is connected to the internal thread of the flange and to the internal thread of one of the connecting plates, the connecting plate connected to it will move along the axial direction of the screw when the screw is rotated, while the other connecting plate will slide along the outer surface of the guide slide rod, ensuring the smooth movement of the mounting housing. One end of the spring inside the mounting housing is connected to the fixing block. When the mounting housing moves, it will drive the fixing block to move, thereby causing the sealing ring to move towards the outer surface of the flange, thereby adjusting the sealing effect. This allows for timely and effective adjustment to prevent further deterioration of air leakage and avoid the situation where air leakage may cause the air spring to lose its elasticity and affect the driving stability of the car.

[0014] (2) When the flange and the external connector are connected and abutted, the sealing ring will be squeezed. The sealing ring will drive the spring to contract. When the flange is installed, the sealing ring will rebound and generate a reaction force, which will tightly abut the sealing ring against the surface of the external connector, further increasing the sealing performance.

[0015] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model is a fast self-balancing automotive air spring assembly, including an air spring body 1. Flanges 2 are fixedly installed at both ends of the air spring body 1. Mounting grooves 201 are opened inside the flanges 2. Grooves 202 are opened inside the flanges 2. The number of grooves 202 is fixed to two. The grooves 202 are connected to the inside of the mounting grooves 201. A sealing mechanism 3 is installed inside the mounting grooves 201. The sealing end of the sealing mechanism 3 is set on the outer surface of the flanges 2.

[0025] The sealing mechanism 3 includes a mounting housing 301, which is slidably connected to the inside of the mounting groove 201. Several springs 302 are fixedly installed inside the mounting housing 301.

[0026] The mounting housing 301 has a sliding connection to a fixing block 303, and one side of the fixing block 303 is fixedly connected to one end of several springs 302;

[0027] A sealing ring 304 is fixedly installed at one end of the fixing block 303, and the sealing ring 304 extends to the outer surface of the flange 2;

[0028] When flange 2 and external connector are connected and abutted, sealing ring 304 will be squeezed. Sealing ring 304 will drive spring 302 to contract. When flange 2 is installed, sealing ring 304 will rebound and generate a reaction force, which will tightly abut sealing ring 304 against the surface of external connector, further increasing the sealing performance.

[0029] A connecting plate 305 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the mounting housing 301. The number of connecting plates 305 is fixed to two, and the two connecting plates 305 are respectively set inside the two grooves 202.

[0030] One of the grooves 202 has a screw 306 rotatably connected inside, the screw 306 and the flange 2 are internally threaded, the outer surface of the screw 306 is internally threaded to one of the connecting plates 305, and another groove 202 has a guide slide rod 307 fixedly installed inside, the outer surface of the guide slide rod 307 is slidably connected to the interior of another connecting plate 305.

[0031] When it is necessary to adjust the sealing state of the sealing mechanism 3, the screw 306 is rotated. Since the screw 306 is internally threaded to the flange 2 and also internally threaded to one of the connecting plates 305, rotating the screw 306 will cause the threaded connecting plate 305 to move along the axial direction of the screw 306, while the other connecting plate 305 will slide along the outer surface of the guide slide 307, ensuring the smooth movement of the mounting housing 301. One end of the spring 302 inside the mounting housing 301 is connected to the fixing block 303. When the mounting housing 301 moves, it will drive the fixing block 303 to move, thereby causing the sealing ring 304 to move towards the outer surface of the flange 2, thus adjusting the sealing effect. This allows for timely and effective adjustment to prevent further deterioration of air leakage and avoids the situation where air leakage may cause the air spring to lose its elasticity, affecting the driving stability of the vehicle.

[0032] In use, when it is necessary to adjust the sealing state of the sealing mechanism 3, firstly, rotate the screw 306. Since the screw 306 is internally threaded to the flange 2 and internally threaded to one of the connecting plates 305, rotating the screw 306 will cause the threaded connecting plate 305 to move along the axial direction of the screw 306, while the other connecting plate 305 will slide along the outer surface of the guide slide 307, ensuring the smooth movement of the mounting housing 301. One end of the spring 302 inside the mounting housing 301 is connected to the fixing block 303. When the mounting housing 301 moves, it will drive the fixing block 303 to move, thereby causing the sealing ring 304 to move towards the outer surface of the flange 2, thereby adjusting the sealing effect. This allows for timely and effective adjustment to prevent further deterioration of air leakage and avoids the situation where air leakage may cause the air spring to lose its elasticity, affecting the driving stability of the vehicle.

[0033] At the same time, when flange 2 and external connector are connected and abutted, the sealing ring 304 will be squeezed. The sealing ring 304 will drive the spring 302 to contract. When flange 2 is installed, the sealing ring 304 will rebound and generate a reaction force, which will tightly abut the sealing ring 304 against the surface of the external connector, further increasing the sealing performance.

[0034] The preferred embodiments of this utility model disclosed above are merely illustrative of the present utility model. These preferred embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the utility model to the specific implementations described. Clearly, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
