LUFTREGULIERUNGSVENTIL FUER EIN PNEUMATISCHES AUFHAENGUNGSSYSTEM.

摘要

A gas switching valve device for a gas suspension system such as a vehicle air suspension system is provided. In such a system a plurality of air chambers (A,B) provided above a shock absorber (1,2) are connected to or disconnected from each other to adjust the air spring constant for the vehicle such as an automobile. …A rotary valve (10) is provided in the path connecting the respective air chambers (A,B). A gas cushioning chamber (10d,26b) is formed by this rotary valve (10) and a stopper (16,26) holding the rotary valve in place and has its gas communication with one air chamber (B) controlled through the rotary valve (10) and is in gas communication with the other air chamber (13) through holes (16a) or grooves (20b) in or on the stopper (16,26). …The holes (16a) or grooves (20b) minimise the production of a swishing sound by the decompressing action of the gas cushioning chamber (10d,26b).
