LEVELING VALVE HAVING ONE CONNECTION EACH FOR AIR-SPRING BELLOWS ON THE RIGHT AND LEFT SIDE

摘要

The invention relates to a leveling valve (1) for an air suspension device for level control of the vehicle body (3) of air-suspension vehicles by supplying air to at least one air bellows (2, 4) as a function of the level of the vehicle body, comprising at least two valve bodies (12, 14) contacting each other along contact surfaces (6, 8), supported in a valve housing (10), and displaceable relative to each other along the contact surfaces, in which flow paths (20, 22, 24, 26, 32, 34) opening into the contact surfaces (6, 8) are formed, wherein the position of the valve bodies (12, 14) relative to each other and the coverage level of openings of the flow paths (20, 22, 24, 26, 32, 34) of the valve bodies (12, 14) is a function of the level of the vehicle body (3), and at least one of the flow paths (24, 26) has a flow connection to an air bellows connection (16, 18) for at least one air bellows (2, 4). According to the invention, the valve housing (10) comprises at least one air bellows connection (16) for at least one air bellows (2) on the right side, and at least one further air bellows connection (18) for at least one air bellows (4) on the left side of the vehicle, and a connecting channel (56) between the two air bellows connections (16, 18), in which at least one insert body in the form of a throttle (58) constricting the flow cross section between the one air bellows connection (16) and the further air bellows connection (18), or in the form of a blocking element for blocking the flow cross section, is selectively releaseably attached.
