The terms "first," "second," and "third" as used herein do not denote any particular order or quantity, but rather are used to distinguish one element from another.

referring to fig. 1 to 3, a pneumatic brace rod includes an outer sleeve 10, a cylinder 20 and a piston rod 30, the cylinder 20 is fixed in the outer sleeve 10, the cylinder 20 has a piston cavity 21, one end of the piston rod 30 is movably disposed in the piston cavity 21, the other end of the piston rod 30 penetrates through the cylinder 20 and the outer sleeve 10, an inflator 40 and a pressure relief device 50 are further disposed in the outer sleeve 10, the cylinder 20 is further provided with an air inlet 201 and a first exhaust port 202 both communicated with the piston cavity 21, an air outlet end of the inflator 40 is communicated with the air inlet 201, and an air inlet end of the pressure relief device 50 is communicated with the first exhaust port 202.

In this embodiment, the pneumatic brace is used to drive the electric tail gate of the automobile to automatically open and close, but in other embodiments, the pneumatic brace may also be used to drive other doors and windows to automatically open and close, or may also drive other supported objects to linearly extend and contract, and is not limited herein. The cylinder 20 and the piston rod 30 are combined into an air spring structure, one end of the piston rod 30, which is provided with a piston, is inserted into the cylinder 20, and the other end of the piston rod 30 is used for being fixedly connected with a supported object, and the supported object can be driven to move through the telescopic motion of the piston rod 30. As shown in FIG. 4, the outlet end of the inflator 40 is connected to the inlet 201 through a first air duct 41, and the inlet end of the pressure relief device 50 is connected to the first outlet 202 through a second air duct 51. The inflator 40 may specifically be an air pumping motor, the pressure relief device 50 may specifically be a pressure relief valve, and optionally, the pressure relief device 50 employs a proportional pressure relief valve, which has better adjustability and higher adjustment precision.

The pneumatic strut is provided with an inflator 40 and a pressure relief device 50 respectively connected to the piston chamber 21 of the cylinder 20 in the outer tube 10, and the automatic extension and retraction of the piston rod 30 can be realized by the cooperation of the inflator 40 and the pressure relief device 50. Specifically, when the inflator 40 works, the pressure relief device 50 is in a closed state, and at this time, the inflator 40 inflates air into the piston cavity 21 from the air inlet 201, so that a certain pressure is generated in the cylinder 20, and the extension of the piston rod 30 is realized; when the piston rod 30 needs to be retracted, the inflator 40 stops working, the pressure relief device 50 starts working, and the gas in the piston cavity 21 is exhausted from the first exhaust port 202, so that the pressure in the cylinder 20 can be gradually reduced, and the piston rod 30 can be slowly retracted. The air pressure type support rod of the invention adopts the electric inflation air spring to drive the piston rod 30 to stretch, the problem of abnormal sound caused by wall scraping similar to a pressure spring can not occur, meanwhile, because the gas in the cylinder barrel 20 has a certain damping effect, the rod explosion accident caused by instantaneous explosion similar to the pressure spring can be effectively avoided, and the use safety is higher.

In addition, the traditional pressure spring type support rod has larger space required by the installation of a pressure spring, so that the outer diameter of the support rod is larger, and the miniaturization of a product is not facilitated. The air pressure type support rod adopts a gas spring structure to replace a pressure spring, the size of the gas spring is smaller than that of the pressure spring with the same force value, the outer diameter size of the outer sleeve 10 can be reduced, the miniaturization of the support rod can be realized, and the installation is convenient.

The pneumatic support rod can be conveniently installed and fixed by the first fixing head 60 and the second fixing head 70. For example, in one embodiment, one end of the pneumatic brace may be hinged to the universal head of the body frame through the first fixing head 60, and the other end may be hinged to the tailgate through the second fixing head 70, so as to drive the tailgate to open and close automatically.

Further, the inner diameter of the first pipe section 11 is larger than the inner diameter of the second pipe section 13, and the outer sleeve 10 further comprises a transition pipe section 12 arranged between the first pipe section 11 and the second pipe section 13, wherein the transition pipe section 12 is arranged in a conical pipe which is tapered towards the second pipe section 13. Optionally, the first pipe section 11, the transition pipe section 12 and the second pipe section 13 are integrally formed, which not only simplifies the manufacturing process of the outer sleeve 10, but also avoids gaps among a plurality of pipe sections, thereby achieving a good waterproof effect.

Further, as shown in fig. 3, a separating ring is disposed in the transition pipe section 12, the cylinder 20 has an end wall 22 in abutting engagement with the separating ring, the air inlet 201 and the first exhaust port 202 are both opened in the end wall 22, and the pressure relief device 50 is disposed in an inner cavity of the separating ring. The cylinder barrel 20 can be limited by the abutting fit of the separating ring and the end wall 22, so that the installation stability of the cylinder barrel 20 is ensured. Meanwhile, the inflating device 40, the pressure relief device 50 and the cylinder barrel 20 are sequentially arranged along the axial direction of the outer sleeve 10, so that the whole structure is more compact, and the miniaturization of a product is facilitated.

Further, a wire passing hole 61 is formed in the first fixing head 60, and the wires of the inflator 40 and the pressure relief device 50 pass through the wire passing hole 61. Preferably, the pneumatic brace further includes a waterproof rubber sleeve 80, one end of the waterproof rubber sleeve 80 is hermetically connected to the outer periphery of the wire passing hole 61, and the leads of the inflator 40 and the pressure relief device 50 are received in the waterproof rubber sleeve 80 after passing through the wire passing hole 61. Through setting up waterproof gum cover 80 can avoid the rainwater to get into the vaulting pole inside from crossing wire hole 61 to play fine water-proof effects. The waterproof rubber cover 80 may be a corrugated pipe.

In one embodiment, the pneumatic brace is used for an electric tailgate of an automobile, and the inflator 40 and the pressure relief device 50 are electrically connected to an ECU control module of the electric tailgate of the automobile, and the operation of the pneumatic brace can be controlled by the ECU control module. Specifically, one end of the pneumatic brace is connected to the vehicle body, and the other end is connected to the tailgate, and the piston rod 30 is in a retracted state when the door is closed. When the tail gate needs to be opened, the inflating device 40 is electrified to work so as to inflate the piston cavity 21, in the inflating process, the pressure relief device 50 is in a normally closed state, corresponding pressure is generated in the cylinder barrel 20, the piston rod 30 is extended, and therefore the tail gate is driven to be opened; when the tail gate needs to be closed, the inflating device 40 stops working, the pressure relief device 50 is electrified to work, the pressure in the piston cavity 21 is controlled to be reduced, the piston rod 30 retracts slowly, and the slow descending and closing of the gate are achieved. In addition, traditional electronic tail-gate of car adopts pressure spring formula vaulting pole, and the different motorcycle types need choose the pressure spring of selecting for use different power values, and it is inconvenient that the production is prepareed materials, leads to the commonality of vaulting pole relatively poor. The pneumatic support rod can adjust the force value of the gas spring by adjusting the inflation quantity of the inflation device 40, and has better universality.

In addition, the force value curve of the pressure spring of the traditional pressure spring type support rod is not in proportional relation with the gravity curve of the automobile tail door, and partial angles can not be hovered. Further, in an embodiment, as shown in fig. 4, the cylinder 20 is further provided with a second exhaust port 203 communicated with the piston cavity 21, a pressure sensing element 90 is disposed at the second exhaust port 203, and the pressure sensing element 90 is electrically connected to an ECU control module of the electric tailgate of the vehicle.
