摘要:
.The invention concerns a motor vehicle axle system comprising two longitudinal arms (1) made of molded material and a torsionally flexible cross bracing (2) made of high strength material different from the material of the arms, each arm comprising a lug (10) for assembling by structural bonding the cross bracing to the arms. The invention is characterized in that each lug (10) has an assembling edge (11) adapted to be assembled to one end (20) of the cross bracing by generating self-binding with a surface of the cross bracing, an adhesive layer (5) being applied between the assembling edge (11) and the surface of the cross bracing, and in that the assembling edge (11) of each lug has a variable thickness along its periphery and in the direction of the lug axis, said thickness being selected so as to minimize the stresses exerted on the adhesive in the assembling zone. The invention also concerns a method for assembling said motor vehicle axle system.
摘要:
A balance suspension system for a vehicle having a body and at least four wheels (FR, FL, BR, BL) independently supported for movement between upper and lower positions relative to the body, the suspension system includes a balance mechanism adapted to support suspension forces in the vehicle and a plurality of actuating elements (73, 74, 78, 79) which are responsive respectively to the positions of the wheels relative to the body and are operable on spaced apart points on the balance mechanism. The system also includes control means for controlling relative movement between the balance mechanism and the body. The control means act to redistribute suspension forces between the body and the wheels, thereby to induce predetermined suspension behaviour.

In an axle suspension device for a vehicle with spring suspension (6) and a roll stabilizer body (15), which is hingedly connected to other parts, in two points to the axle (2) to be stabilized, each near one end thereof, and in two points, each through a substantially vertical hydraulic cylinder (31), to the vehicle frame (1), there being control means (40, etc.) to vary the hydraulic pressure in said cylinders (31) depending on one or more situation-dependent parameters to vary the roll rigidity on one side of their pistons (32) only, there being end stops (33) for said pistons, so that the hydraulic pressure keeps the pistons (32) against these end stops when no rolling occurs. This gives a more simple device, less vulnerable to leakage and permitting maximum driving comfort in widely varying conditions while keeping roll angles small. The main control parameter is preferably the gas pressure in gas spring bellows (6) for the axle suspension.

In an axle suspension device for a vehicle with gas spring suspension (6) and roll stabilisation an essentially rigid stabilizer body (15) is used which is hingedly connected in two points (14, 16) to the axle (2) to be stabilized, each near one end thereof, and in two points (17, 18) to the vehicle frame (1), which latter connections are formed by substantially vertical hydraulic cylinders (31) with piston rods (30), having a sliding bearing (34) in the cylinders, which can absorb transverse forces, the cylinders (31) or piston rods (30) thereof being connected to the frame (1) by rigid connections (35). A control system for such cylinders has a pressure transformer (40) with a larger surface (41), which is directly or indirectly under the pressure of the gas in the gas spring system (6), and has a smaller surface (42), on which the hydraulic pressure in said cylinders (31)acts in the opposite direction, said surfaces (41, 42) being connected for common movement, a control pressure (through 47) exerted by a fluid acting on the other side of said larger surface (41) in the same direction as said hydraulic pressure being variable to control this system depending on one or more parameters on the basis of driving or road conditions. All this allows a simple and reliable design, safety and adaptation of roll stabilizing to different conditions for maximum comfort.
摘要:
A suspension sub-assembly includes a fiber reinforced polymeric (FRP) thermoplastic composite upper control arm/spring assembly having a control arm portion and a spring member portion. The suspension sub-assembly can tune roll stiffness of a vehicle during cornering. The FRP thermoplastic composite upper control arm/spring assembly comprises a thermoplastic matrix material reinforced with fibers embedded and aligned in the matrix of the assembly.
