Air suspension system
First Claim
1. An air suspension system for a vehicle, the air suspension system comprising:
- a first transfer pipe having one end communicating with the outside, the first transfer pipe being constructed such that air flows through the first transfer pipe;
a filter mounted adjacent to the one end of the first transfer pipe to filter out foreign matter from the air;
a compressor mounted on the first transfer pipe, such that the compressor is located adjacent to the filter, to compress the air;
a dryer mounted on the first transfer pipe, such that the dryer is located adjacent to the compressor, to dry the air;
an exhaust pipe extending from the first transfer pipe between the compressor and the dryer;
an exhaust valve mounted on the exhaust pipe to control the flow of the air;
a second transfer pipe communicating with the other end of the first transfer pipe;
a control unit connected to the second transfer pipe, the control unit being constructed such that the pressure of the air controls a high and low height of the vehicle;
a storage unit connected to the second transfer pipe to store the compressed air; and
a first check valve mounted on the first transfer pipe between the compressor and the exhaust pipe.

Abstract
An air suspension system includes a first transfer pipe having one end communicating with the outside, the first transfer pipe being constructed such that air flows through the first transfer pipe; a filter mounted adjacent to the one end of the first transfer pipe to filter out foreign matter from the air; a compressor mounted on the first transfer pipe, such that the compressor is located adjacent to the filter, to compress the air; a dryer mounted on the first transfer pipe, such that the dryer is located adjacent to the compressor, to dry the air; an exhaust pipe extending from the first transfer pipe between the compressor and the dryer; an exhaust valve mounted on the exhaust pipe to control the flow of the air; a second transfer pipe communicating with the other end of the first transfer pipe; a control unit connected to the second transfer pipe, the control unit being constructed such that the high and low of the control unit are controlled by the pressure of the air; and a storage unit connected to the second transfer pipe to store the compressed air.
