Car height adjusting apparatus for vehicle

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To overcome problems in a compressed air system car height adjusting apparatus by dehumidifying and drying with a dryer. CONSTITUTION: Ambient air is sucked and compressed by a compressor 19 to be introduced into a pipe path 22 through a pipe path 20. The air is dehumidified and dried by a drier 21 between the pipe paths 20 and 22 and only dried air is introduced and stored in a reservoir tank 24. The compressed air in the tank 24 is supplied to a levelling damper 1 for front wheels 14L, 14R by a pipe path 31 through a valve 28 in a solenoid valve 27 for example to heighten the car height by extending the damper 1. When the car height is lowered by exhaust, the solenoid valve 27 is changed over so that the compressed air for the front wheels 14L, 14R is discharged to the pipe path 22 downstream of the drier 21 through the pipe path 31, valve 29 and exhaust connecting pipe 33, introduced into an exhaust pipe 34 through the drier 21 and discharged through an interposed exhaust valve 30 to lower the car height.
