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 may also be coupled to the controller to adjust the damping characteristic of the at least one adjustable shock absorber based on sensor output signals.

Provided is a suspension control system that allows a state variable of a vehicle used for the damper damping force control to be computed at a high precision without regards to the caster angle given to the suspension geometry. A suspension control system (20) for a vehicle (V) provided with a variable damper (6) that can adjust a damping force according to an input signal (V W ) comprises a wheel rotational speed sensor (9) for detecting a wheel rotational speed (V W ), a gain circuit (37) for computing the unsprung load (u 1 ) of each wheel (3) according to the wheel rotational speed variation (”V W ) detected by the wheel speed sensor (9), a single wheel model computing unit for computing the sprung velocity (S 2 ) and the stroke speed (Ss) by inputting the unsprung load (u 1 ) to a single wheel model (38) representing the behavior of the vehicle, and a damper control unit (25) for controlling a damping force of the variable damper (6) according to the computed sprung velocity (S 2 ) and stroke speed (Ss).
摘要:
A regenerative shock absorber that include a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.
