Abstract: A vehicle-height control system including a tank, a compressor, an actuator, and a valve between the tank and the compressor. The valve is closed to a state of a pressure medium supplier to the compressor-pressure supply state when a tank pressure has reached a threshold in a tank-pressure supply state in which the tank pressure is supplied to the actuator. In the compressor-pressure supply state, the tank pressure is kept at the threshold, and a pressure in the actuator is greater than the tank pressure. The threshold makes it difficult for a pressure differential in the valve to become greater than a valve-opening pressure differential, making it difficult for the valve to be opened in the compressor-pressure supply state. This system enables good supply of a pressure medium from the compressor to the actuator, avoiding a longer time for vehicle height control and achieving a shorter compressor operation time.

Abstract: An air suspension system includes a controller that controls opening/closing of normally-closed electromagnetic switching valves constituting a control valve, a first supply/discharge switching valve, a second supply/discharge switching valve, a first tank switching valve, and a second tank switching valve. The controller controls opening/closing of the electromagnetic switching valves in an order of first control, second control, and third control. In the first control, the control valve is opened. In the second control, the first supply/discharge switching valve and the second supply/discharge switching valve are opened in an opened state of the control valve. In the third control, the control valve, the first supply/discharge switching valve, and the second supply/discharge switching valve are closed.

Abstract: A vehicle-height control system includes: a vehicle-height control actuator; a pressure-medium supply and discharge device configured to supply and discharge a pressure medium; and a vehicle height controller configured to control a vehicle height by controlling the pressure-medium supply and discharge device. The pressure-medium supply and discharge device includes a compressor and a tank configured to contain a pressure medium supplied from the compressor. The vehicle height controller includes a down controller configured to operate the compressor to discharge and supply the pressure medium from the vehicle-height control actuator to the tank to lower the vehicle height when a tank pressure is less than a set pressure. The down controller is configured to discharge the pressure medium from the vehicle-height control actuator to an outside to lower the vehicle height when the tank pressure is greater than or equal to the set pressure.
