MANIFOLD AND CENTRAL TIRE INFLATION SYSTEM USING THE SAME

摘要

Disclosed herein is a manifold for vehicles. The manifold has a rear-wheel air storage space which stores air to be supplied to rear tires, and a front-wheel air storage space which stores air to be supplied to front tires. Each of the air inlet and outlets, which receive external air and discharge air respectively, includes an air flow passage having a tapered shape.

主权项

1. A manifold for supplying compressed air from an air tank to a front tire or a rear tire of a vehicle or discharging air from the front tire or the rear tire of the vehicle to an outside, the manifold comprising:
an air inlet into which compressed air is injected from the air tank; a rear-wheel air outlet through which air is injected into the rear tire of the vehicle or air that has been stored in the rear tire is discharged out of the rear tire; a front-wheel air outlet through which air is injected into the front tire of the vehicle or air stored in the front tire is discharged out of the front tire; a pressure reducing outlet through which air is discharged out of the manifold; a rear-wheel air storage space connected to the rear-wheel air outlet, the rear-wheel air storage space having a predetermined volume to store air therein; a front-wheel air storage space connected to the front-wheel air outlet, the front-wheel air storage space having a predetermined volume to store air therein; and a connection passage formed between the front-wheel air storage space and the rear-wheel air storage space, the connection passage connecting the front-wheel air storage space to the rear-wheel air storage space, wherein the air inlet is connected to the connection passage.
