摘要:
In this system for vehicle roll control, a plurality of actuator assemblies are provided, one corresponding to each one of the vehicle wheels and resiliently suspending it from the vehicle body. These actuator assemblies have pressure chambers, and each is adapted to increase or decrease the vehicle height at a location corresponding to its corresponding vehicle wheel as respective results of supplying or discharging of working fluid to or from its pressure chamber. A plurality of working fluid supplying and discharging means are provided corresponding to the actuator assemblies and serve to supply working fluid to the working fluid chambers and to discharge working fluid from the working fluid chambers. A vehicle speed detecting means senses the road speed of the vehicle, and a steering angle detecting means senses the steering angle of the vehicle. A means for computing and control computes a steady state roll angle ø∞ of the vehicle body from the vehicle speed sensed by the vehicle speed detecting means and the steering angle sensed by the steering angle detecting means, and computes a difference value based thereon, the computing control means being adapted to control the working fluid supplying and discharging means according to the difference value when the absolute value of the difference value ø is larger than a determinate value.

These actuator assemblies have pressure chambers, and each is adapted to increase or decrease the vehicle height at a location corresponding to its corresponding wheel as respective results of supplying or discharging of working fluid to or from its pressure chamber.

Vehicle height detection means are provided for sensing the heights of the vehicle above the wheels. A means detects the rate of change of the steering angle of the vehicle. And a means for computing and control controls the working fluid supply/discharge means, based on the deviations of the actual wheel heights from standard wheel heights, and carries out control adjustment of the actual wheel heights to the standard wheel heights, by performing a prediction calculation of the fluctuations in wheel heights caused by vehicle rolling from the rate of change of steering angle as detected by the means for detecting the rate of change of steering angle and from the vehicle speed as detected by the vehicle speed detecting means, and by carrying out a correction to the adjustment control of the working fluid supplying and discharging means, based upon the calculation result, by an amount appropriate substantially to eliminate the wheel height fluctuations.

In this roll control system, suspension means are provided for resiliently suspending the vehicle wheels with variable hardness/softness characteristics, each including an actuator with a pressure chamber which increases or decreases wheel suspension height according to supply or discharge of working fluid. Working fluid supply/discharge means are provided for the actuators, to supply and discharge working fluid to and from their pressure chambers. The road speed, the steering angle, and the actual body roll angle, are detected. A means for computing and control computes a steady state vehicle body roll angle Ø ∞ from the vehicle speed and steering angle, advances the phase of a signal indicative of Ø ∞ to compute a compensating roll angle value Φ ∞ and then computes a difference value φ̂ as based upon a desired roll angle φ a , Φ ∞ , and the actual roll angle Ø t , according to the equation: where k1 and k2 are positive constants. And the computing and control means is adapted to control the working fluid supplying and discharging means based upon φ̂ when the absolute value of φ̂ is larger than a determinate value φ̂ 1 , and to control the hardness/softness characteristics of the suspension means according to the absolute value of φ̂ when the absolute value of φ̂ is smaller than φ 1 .

In this system for vehicle roll control, a plurality of actuator assemblies are provided, one corresponding to each one of the vehicle wheels and resiliently suspending it from the vehicle body. These actuator assemblies have pressure chambers, and each is adapted to increase or decrease the vehicle height at a location corresponding to its corresponding vehicle wheel as respective results of supplying or discharging of working fluid to or from its pressure chamber; they are controlled by duty ratio control. Working fluid supplying and discharging means are provided corresponding to the actuator assemblies arrd supply working fluid to and discharge working fluid from their working fluid chambers. A means senses the road speed of the vehicle, and a meanssensesthe steering angle of the vehicle. Vehicle height detection means are prov- idedforsensingthe heights of the vehicle wheels. A means for computing and control calculates the deviations of the actual detected wheel heights from standard wheel heights; when a certain condition is satisfied, it controls the working fluid supplying and discharging means according to a first duty ratio according to the deviations of the actual wheel heights, so as to maintain the deviations of the actual wheel heights within determinate ranges; and then it controls the working fluid supplying and discharging means in the reverse sense of supply and drain and according to a second duty ratio in a certain manner.
