摘要:
A suspension for a cab base on the frame of a swather tractor includes four dampened springs at the four corners with three links each pivoted on one end of the frame and the other end on the base. The links include two parallel links in the fore and aft direction parallel to the mechanical speed control link arm and one side to side link which constrain movement of the base against fore and aft movement and side to side movement parallel to the mechanical steering control link arm. This arrangement restricts movement of the base while allowing roll and pitch movements of the cab structure with the links arranged such that steering and ground speed are substantially unaffected when the cab moves on the suspension.

The invention relates to an anti-roll/pitch system for use in a vehicle, in which a first mass, for instance a cabin, is suspended to a second mass, for instance a chassis, by means of a bearing arm, which is pivotally connected to the second mass around a pivot axis, via spring means. The anti-roll/pitch system comprises means to adjust a point of application of a spring force acting on the bearing arm, so as to adjust a moment exerted by said spring force on said bearing arm to counteract a load exerted on the bearing arm by the first mass. The spring force is exerted on the bearing arm through a flexible, elongated member, such as a string or cable, which takes up little space when adjusting the point of application. The invention furthermore relates to a built-in unit and a vehicle, equipped with an anti-roll/pitch system according to the invention.

A vehicle cab is pivoted to the chassis at the front and supported at the rear by a cab suspension unit that includes a laminate of interleaved elastomer and rigid plate layers. The laminate flexes in reaction to forces that act in the planes of the layers and is relatively resistant to forces that act normal to the layers such that it elastically absorbs shocks and vibrations from road irregularities and pitch and roll maneuvers and more stiffly resists acceleration and deceleration forces between the cab and the chassis.

A suspension system has a pair of cylinders connected between the cab or axle and a chassis of a vehicle to isolate the driver from vibrations. A pair of hydraulic cylinders is coupled to opposite sides of the cab or axle and to the vehicle chassis. A separate accumulator is coupled each hydraulic cylinder to act as a hydraulic spring that attenuates side to side motion. A leveling valve selectively control the flow of fluid to or from both hydraulic cylinders to level the cab or seat in response to load changes.

The invention is a suspension system, typically for use between a cab and a truck frame, includes a strut module having a strut and an air spring, and a control module, connected to a source of pressurized air, for sensing a distance between the cab and truck frame and selectively pressurizing the air spring in response to changes in that distance. Preferably, the strut is a McPherson-type strut and the air spring encloses at least a portion of the strut to provide a compact assembly and includes a three point connection to the cab and frame to resist relative lateral movement between the cab and frame. The strut also preferably is a magnetorheological-type damper so that the control module can adjust the damping characteristics of the strut to optimize rider comfort.

The invention is a mechanical suspension system for cab-over tractors, specifically those used in terminal transport having two front cushion dual suspension components on the front pivot area of the cab to tractor frame connection and a single rear cushion dual suspension component on the rear of the tractor frame at the cab-over latch area, the three point dual suspension system providing a more stable suspension package than the four point and other single suspension systems.

An agricultural machine, comprising a pair of from wheels and a pair of rear wheels, rigidly connected to a main frame, a control cab mounted on the main frame and suspension means placed between the cab and the main frame. Suspension means comprise a plurality of actuators for controlling the rotation of the cab with respect to the main frame about at least two axis orthogonal to each other. An electronic control unit is provided with sensor means for detecting variations of the cab tilt angle with respect to an horizontal reference direction. The electronic control unit is programmed for controlling said actuators so as to maintain a constant orientation of the cab with respect to said reference direction.

A vehicle cab attitude controlling system including a frame supported by wheels of the vehicle, a cab mounted on the frame; a cab suspension system mounting the cab on the frame and allowing relative movement therebetween, the cab suspension system having a plurality of seats each supporting a different portion of the cab and at least one seat being detachable therefrom; and a cab actuator for activating the cab suspension system to adjust vertical displacements between said frame and the seats. Also included is an engine mounted on the frame below the cab; an auxiliary actuator for producing pivotal movement of the cab off of the one seat to provide access to the engine; a cab sensing system for detecting vertical displacements between the frame and a plurality of spaced apart portions of the cab and the vertical displacement between the frame and the one seat; and a control system for controlling the cab actuator in response to the cab sensing system, and operable with the cab supported on the one seat to maintain a given attitude of the cab with respect to a road surface, and operable with the cab detached from the one seat to establish a predetermined vertical displacement between the frame and the one seat.

A self-positioning shock and vibration isolating suspension system is disclosed which incorporates one or more pneumatic mounts for supporting a load on a base. Each pneumatic mount comprises a hollow elastomer body with a diaphragm at each end, means for connecting one diaphragm to a base and the other to the load, means for pressurizing the elastomer body with a fluid so that the diaphragms and the fluid acting thereon form a pneumatic spring having a spring stiffness less than that of the hollow body, and means for varying the fluid pressure within the elastomer body in accordance with changes in the magnitude of the load.
