摘要:
A damping control system for a vehicle having a suspension located between a plurality of ground engaging members and a vehicle frame includes at least one adjustable shock absorber having an adjustable damping characteristic. The system also includes a controller coupled to each adjustable shock absorber to adjust the damping characteristic of each adjustable shock absorber, and a user interface coupled to the controller and accessible to a driver of the vehicle. The user interface includes at least one user input to permit manual adjustment of the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber during operation of the vehicle. Vehicle sensors are also be coupled to the controller to adjust the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber based vehicle conditions determined by sensor output signals.

摘要:
A system for varying an eyelet-to-eyelet distance of a vehicle. The system includes top and bottom mounting components defining the eyelet-to-eyelet distance, the top mounting component being operatively connected to a frame of the vehicle, and the bottom mounting component being operatively connected to a supporting component of the vehicle. The system also includes a telescopic component disposed about a housing of at least one of the top and bottom components, the telescopic component being displaceable with respect to said housing in response to a given input of a driver of the vehicle, for varying a distance between the top and mounting components, and thus varying the eyelet-to-eyelet distance of the vehicle. Also described is a vehicle including such a system, and a method of operating associated thereto.

A body leaning control system includes a support mechanism arranged to support at least a pair of traveling members that contact a traveling surface and are provided at opposite sides of the vehicle body to be movable up and down relative to the vehicle body, a resistance applying mechanism arranged to apply to the support mechanism a resistance to up-and-down motions of the pair of wheels, a lean information detecting device arranged to detect information on a lean amount of the vehicle body, and a controller arranged to perform control, based on detection results received from the lean information detecting device, to set the resistance of the resistance applying mechanism to a first resistance when the lean amount of the vehicle body is increasing, and to set the resistance of the resistance applying mechanism to a second resistance smaller than the first resistance when the lean amount of the vehicle body is decreasing.
摘要:
A shock absorber includes a cylinder (60), a piston (65), which is configured to partition an internal space of the cylinder into two oil chambers (60A, 60B), and is capable of sliding in an axial direction of the cylinder, the piston having formed therethrough a communication path (65a) configured to bring the two oil chambers into communication with each other, a first rod (61), which extends in a first direction of the axial direction with respect to the piston, a second rod (62), which has a diameter larger than a diameter of the first rod, and extends in a second direction of the axial direction, which is opposite to the first direction, with respect to the piston, a rod mounting member (81), which is provided to the first rod, and a cylinder mounting member (95), which is provided to the cylinder and arranged so as to be offset from an axis of the cylinder.

A hydraulic shock absorbing apparatus for a vehicle includes a body left-side front wheel (7) (first traveling member) and a body right-side front wheel (8) (second traveling member), a left-side arm (11) (first connecting member) and a right-side arm (12) (second connecting member), and hydraulic shock absorbers (4, 5) provided between a vehicle body (3) and the left- and right-arms (11, 12). One end portion of each hydraulic shock absorber (4, 5) is formed by a cylinder main body (15) partitioned into a first oil chamber (21) and a second oil chamber (22) by a piston (23). The other end portion of the hydraulic shock absorber (4, 5) is formed by a piston rod (16) having the piston (23). The apparatus also includes a reserve tank (6) connected to one hydraulic shock absorber (4) via a first hydraulic oil passage (61) and connected to the other hydraulic shock absorber (5) via a second hydraulic oil passage (62). The first hydraulic oil passage (61) and the second hydraulic oil passage (62) are individually connected to a third oil chamber (57) of the reserve tank (6). It is possible to provide the hydraulic shock absorbing apparatus for the vehicle which can suppress a change in attitude of a vehicle body without increasing inclination of the vehicle body when the pair of hydraulic shock absorbers operate in the opposite directions while adopting an arrangement that can be readily manufactured.
摘要:
A tracked vehicle, especially a snow scooter, that has two laterally spaced-apart front drive-track assemblies (10), each of which is turnable around a substantially vertical axis and which are coupled for common turning. Each drive-track assembly is carried by a vehicle chassis (11) via a vertically movable link device, which in respect of vertical turning rests against the chassis via a spring-damper assembly (7), and the drive-track assemblies are mechanically coupled by a parallel steering mechanism (23-26), which is manoeuvrable by a driver of the vehicle.
