Air suspension is a state-of-the-art suspension system that features air springs as the core elastic element, complemented by a sophisticated electronic control system. This advanced setup allows the system to dynamically adjust the vehicle's body height, stiffness, and damping characteristics, significantly enhancing the vehicle's comfort, handling, and adaptability.
Its basic structure includes:
1. Air springs: These innovative replacements for traditional steel coil springs offer elastic support through compressed air, boasting impressive compressibility and an excellent vibration isolation effect.
2. Air supply unit: This unit comprises air compressors, air tanks, distribution valves, and other components essential for generating and distributing compressed air efficiently.
3. Sensors: Height sensors, acceleration sensors, and more work tirelessly, monitoring the vehicle's posture and road conditions in real-time.
4. Electronic Control Unit (ECU): Utilizing sophisticated sensor data, the ECU dynamically adjusts the inflation and deflation of air springs, precisely controlling body height and suspension stiffness.
5. Shock absorbers: Typically separate from the air springs, these components are key in further optimizing the shock absorption effect, ensuring a smooth ride.
