摘要:
A suspension control system which provides a vehicle height signal representative of a vehicle height, a vehicle height data signal responsive to said vehicle height signal, and a first determination signal representative of a suspension characteristic alteration if a difference between a maximum and minimum value of said vehicle height data signal within a predetermined suspension characteristic alteration determination time interval exceeds a first value thereof, and which alters said suspension characteristic in response to said first determination signal. A suspension system which has a similar operation as said suspension system except that it provides a second determination signal representative of suspension characteristic restoration instead of a first determination signal if a difference between a maximum and minimum value of said vehicle height data signal within a first time interval of restoring determination is less than a second reference value thereof for a predetermined number of consecutive times, and which alters vehicle height.

A wheel slip controlling system is provided to immediately control the rotation of the drive wheels by controlling the output power of an internal combustion engine as well as by controlling the brake mechanism of the drive wheels when a slippage is detected during the process of braking or acceleration. The brake mechanism is an anti-skid control system which uses a pressure change-over valve to accurately control the braking force. The wheel slip controlling system also includes a second throttle valve responsive to a traction control mechanism for controlling the amount of intake air of the internal combustion engine such that the speed of the driven wheels can be slowed when slipping occurs.

The wheel slip control system performs both of anti-skid control and traction control for a vehicle with a simple arrangement.
摘要:
A method of adjusting the height of a vehicle provided with an air suspension system capable of adjusting the vehicle height and having two air chambers capable of being communicated with and shut off from each other. The method comprises the steps of shutting off temporarily one air chamber from the remaining one and supplying the compressed air to the other air chamber when the vehicle height is to be increased. The supply of the compressed air is carried out at the same time as or prior to the shutting-off.
摘要:
When a sporadic shock due to a protrusion or dip of a road surface is detected at front wheels of a vehicle during its cruising on the road surface, the characteristic of the rear wheel suspension of the vehicle is altered immediately or just before the rear wheels pass it to improve the controllability and the stability of the vehicle or the smooth feeling of the ride. For that purpose, a rear suspension controller is invented which includes a height sensor for detecting the distance between the body of the vehicle and each of the right and left front wheels thereof, height data calculator which generates a plurality of height data from the front vehicle height, a judgement section which compares each of the height data with a respective reference value that is predetermined corresponding to each height datum and generates comparisons and a rear suspension characteristic alteration devices which alter the spring constant, damping force, etc. of the rear suspensions. The height data calculator extracts substantial data from the front vehicle height signal which represents the shape of the bump or dip for judging adequately when to alter or return the rear suspension characteristic.

In a hydraulic suspension system, a plurality of actuators having working fluid chambers are provided. Each actuator is adapted to increase and decrease vehicle height as the results of the supply and the discharge of working fluid to and from its working fluid chamber, respectively. Working fluid supply passages supply working fluid at supply pressure to the working fluid chambers and working fluid discharge passages discharge working fluid from the working fluid chambers. Cut-off valves and pressure control devices are provided in the supply passages and the discharge passages. Each cut-off valve is adapted to remain in its closed position whenever the supply pressure is not more than a predetermined value. Each pressure control device is adapted to control the supply of the working fluid to and the discharge from the associated working fluid chamber to adjust the pressure within the chamber. The system further comprises devices for detecting the pressures within the working fluid chambers and a device for determining the supply pressure. The pressure control devices are controlled so that their controlling pressures may substantially be equal to the pressures within the associated working fluid chambers determined by the pressure determining devices at least until the cut-off valves are opened.
摘要:
When a sporadic shock due to a protrusion or sinking of a road surface is detected at front wheels of a vehicle during its cruising on the road surface, the characteristic of the rear wheel suspension of the vehicle is immediately altered to improve the controllability and the stability of the vehicle or the feel of the ride thereof. For that purpose, a height sensor for detecting the distance between the body of the vehicle and each of the right and left front wheels thereof, a judgement section by which a front wheel vehicle height signal generated by the height sensor is compared with a predetermined reference range signal, and a controller for altering the characteristic of the rear wheel suspension of the vehicle depending on the result of the comparison are provided. In addition, a returning control of the characteristic of the suspension to the original state immediately after the rear wheels of the vehicle have passed over the protrusion or sinking which causes a sporadic shock may be performed. More effective control can be performed if these section are provided for the right and left wheels of the front and rear of the vehicle, respectively.
摘要:
A rear suspension controller for controlling the suspension characteristic of a vehicle having a suspension which supports a vehicle body on plural wheels, wherein the acceleration of the vertical movement of at least one of the front wheels is measured and a corresponding signal is produced for detecting sporadic irregularities on a road surface. This acceleration signal is compared against preset reference signals and the characteristic of the rear suspension is altered, e.g., the suspension is made harder or softer, in dependence on the comparison in order to keep the controllability and stability or to maintain a good ride comfort according to demand. Additionally, the preset reference signals themselves are changed depending upon the vehicle speed because the influence of the shock caused by the irregularities changes according to the vehicle speed.
