An automotive minimal turning radius control system is provided which includes a sensor for sensing a height of the vehicle body, a pair of actuators which are controlled by an ECU according to the sensed height of the vehicle, and a pair of steering stroke adjusters which are actuated by the actuators for adjusting steering stroke.
Abstract:
A steering gear frame includes upper and lower plates joined together at flange portions to define an inner space, a steering gearbox disposed to directly contact at least one of the upper and lower plates without using a bracket, and a fixing member for fixing the steering gearbox in a state where the steering gearbox is disposed to directly contact at least one of the upper and lower plates.
Abstract:
A system of controlling a steering apparatus of a vehicle that has a motor driving section provided with a motor and a motor shaft, a power delivery section delivering a torque of the motor for assisting maneuvering force to a steering column, and a variable steering section controlling an angle and a length of the steering column by the torque of the motor, may include a first converting section selectively delivering the torque to one of the power delivery section and the variable steering section by using a motor clutch, a connecting section selectively connected to the first converting section and delivering the torque to the variable steering section, and a control portion controlling operations of the motor, and the motor clutch, wherein the motor clutch is a clutch using a first electromagnet, and wherein the control portion controls supply of current to the first electromagnet of the motor clutch.
Abstract:
An energy regeneration device of a suspension system for a vehicle is provided and includes a suspension link connecting a wheel carrier to a vehicle body and a bush unit disposed between a vehicle body connection portion of the suspension link and the vehicle body, outputs hinge motion of the suspension link via an output gear. A rotation fixing mechanism rotates the output gear by connecting the output gear to a side of the suspension link. A one-way power transmission mechanism connected with the output gear receives the hinge motion via an input gear and outputs one-way rotational power. A generator generates electricity while being rotated by the transmitted one-way rotational power. A speed-up mechanism disposed between the generator and the one-way power transmission mechanism transmits the one-way rotational power to the generator. A rectifier electrically connected with the generator, rectifies the electricity generated by the generator.
Abstract:
An external airbag module for a vehicle, installed to be located in a space formed between a back beam and a front bumper may include an inflator secured to a front of the back beam and accommodated in the back beam, and an airbag cushion surrounding the inflator and secured to the back beam together with the inflator between the back beam and the front bumper.
Abstract:
An anti-roll device for a vehicle may include a lower arm disposed at both sides of a sub-frame, a rotation mounter formed at a middle portion of the sub-frame, a spring unit of which the middle portion is rotatably disposed at the rotation mounter, and a push rod connected to both sides of the spring unit and the lower arm, wherein the spring unit includes a plate spring of which both end portions are bent in opposite directions, an engagement portion having an engagement hole in the middle portion thereof is formed, and a bolt hole is formed at both ends thereof, an assistant spring that is disposed at both sides of the engagement portion and an assemble hole is formed in the middle portion corresponding to the engagement hole, and an engagement yoke engaged with the plate spring and the assistant spring and disposed on the rotation mounter.
Abstract:
An active geometric control suspension system may include an upper arm connected to a side above and between a rear wheel-sided knuckle and a subframe, and an assist link connected to the other side above and between the knuckle and the subframe, together with a node-changeable unit, wherein the node-changeable unit includes a housing formed at a portion of the subframe, a track-variable kit detachably coupled to brackets of the housing, cam-operating rails fixed to a side of the track-variable kit, a cam disposed on the cam-operating rails of the track-variable kit to be slidable up/down along the cam-operating rails, and a cam bolt connecting the cam with a vehicle body-sided connecting portion of the assist link.

Abstract:
A relatively small capacity of airbag apparatus can be used by relatively shortening the distance between locations on which a passenger and the airbag apparatus are mounted to more effectively prevent a head and a neck of the passenger from being damaged through a discriminated supporting action of an upper body and a head part of the passenger while reducing a weight and a price of the airbag apparatus and the airbag apparatus can be easily standardized by configuration the airbag apparatus regardless of the shapes of a crash pad and a wind shield glass.
Abstract:
A roll control system improves stability in turning by actively controlling roll stiffness in accordance with traveling conditions of a vehicle. The active roll control system for a vehicle suspension includes a stabilizer bar of which the middle straight portion is fixed to a sub-frame by a mount bush and both ends are connected with a lower control arm by a stabilizer link to suppress roll of the vehicle body, in which a roll control mechanism is disposed between a lower end connecting portion of the stabilizer link and the lower control arm to increase roll stiffness by increasing a lever ratio of the stabilizer bar, if needed.
