The power supply 5 is connected to the controller 6 and to the compressor of the air suspension, respectively. Wherein, the compressor is provided with a relay switch connected with the controller, and the controller 6 controls the on-off of the relay to determine that the battery supplies power to the compressor.

The controller 6 is in control connection with the switch valve I11, the switch valve II 17, the switch valve III 18, the switch valve IV 19 and the adjustable throttle valve 16, and can be used for opening the switch valve I11, the switch valve II 17, the switch valve III 18, the switch valve IV 19 and the adjustable throttle valve 16 when the tire pressure of the tire 14 is too high, so that the air pressure of the tire is stably reduced, and the controller 6 is electrically connected with the pressure sensor 9 and the wheel speed sensor 10 and can be used for receiving the pressure of the pressure sensor 9 and the signal of the wheel speed sensor 10; the wheel speed sensor 10 (sensor in ESP system) receives a vehicle speed signal through a CAN bus; the pressure sensor 9 receives a pressure signal via radio frequency.

The silencer 1 is connected with the pressure sensor 9 through a filter 2, an air pump 3, a one-way valve 4 and a throttle valve 15 through an air pipe;

the muffler 1 is connected with one end of an exhaust valve 7 through a filter 2 by an air pipe, and the other end of the exhaust valve 7 is connected with a throttle valve 15 by the air pipe;

exhaust valve 7 with link to each other through trachea exhaust valve switch 8, exhaust valve switch 8 passes through the trachea and links to each other with ooff valve I11, and ooff valve I11 passes through the trachea and links to each other with tire 14.

A wheel speed sensor 10 and a pressure sensor 9 are arranged in the tire 14, and the pressure sensor 9 is fixed on a tire air tap and used for monitoring the air pressure of the tire 14.

The air spring I13 is connected with the air storage tank 12 through an air pipe through a switch valve II 17 and a switch valve III 18;

and the air spring II 20 is connected with the pressure sensor 9 through an air pipe through a switch valve IV 19.

The tire pressure maintaining and regulating system based on the air suspension system can inflate the tire 14, regulate the tire pressure of the tire 14, and is comfortable to regulate and stable to operate. A compressor or an air storage tank 12 is used as an air source; the air pressure of the air storage tank 12 is preferentially used, and when the air pressure of the air storage tank 12 is lower than 1000Kpa, the air pump 3 is used for inflating; in combination with the entire vehicle driving mode, the comfort mode and sport mode correspond to low and high air pressure of the tires and manual adjustment of softer and harder states, respectively.

The invention mainly utilizes an air storage tank of an air suspension and a compression pump to maintain the tire pressure of the tire. Because the tire pressure of the tire is generally in the range of 230KPa to 270KPa, the pressure of the air storage tank 12 is generally above 1600KPa, and the pumping capacity of the air pump 3 is above 2000KPa, the air storage tank 12 and the air pump 3 can rapidly supplement air to maintain the tire pressure when the tire 14 is otherwise insufficient. When the tire pressure of the tire 14 is too high, the controller 6 opens the on-off valve and the adjustable throttle 16 to enable the air pressure of the tire 14 to be steadily reduced.

the tire 14 is inflated with the air tank 12 while the IG key mode is in the on or acc mode.

IG key is in start mode, the tire 14 is inflated with the air suspension compressor.

And (3) an inflation principle: for example, when the tire pressure on one side is insufficient, the air pump 3 or the air storage tank 12 starts to work, the corresponding switch valve is opened, and the adjustable throttle valve 16 adjusts the proper opening degree to start inflation until the air pressure reaches the set threshold value.

The air release principle is as follows: for example, when the air pressure of one wheel is too high, the on-off valve of the tire 14 is opened, the adjustable throttle valve 16 is opened to a proper opening degree, the exhaust valve 7 of the two-position three-way valve is opened, and the exhaust valve 8 of the two-position two-way valve is opened to exhaust until the tire 14 reaches the set air pressure.
