摘要:
A support system includes a primary actuator that transfers force between a sprung mass and an unsprung mass. A control system operates the primary actuator to provide additional control when a damper exceeds a capacity threshold. The control system changes the capacity threshold according to the environmental condition.
摘要:
A vehicle includes a vehicle body, a wheel, a suspension system that supports the wheel relative to the vehicle body, a sensing system for determining an environmental condition ahead of the vehicle and a control system. The suspension system includes a primary actuator that transfers force between the wheel and the vehicle body, and a wheel hop damper that includes a moving mass and that transfers force between the wheel and the moving mass independent of the vehicle body to inhibit resonance of an unsprung mass formed by the wheel and a portion of the suspension system coupled thereto. The control system operates the primary actuator to provide additional secondary ride control when the wheel hop damper exceeds a capacity threshold. The control system changes the capacity threshold according to the environmental condition. The wheel hop damper may be a reaction mass actuator or a tuned mass damper.
摘要:
A suspension actuator assembly includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator selectively applies a first force between an unsprung mass and a sprung mass of a vehicle to control movement therebetween. The second actuator selectively applies a second force between the unsprung mass and a reaction mass to damp movement of the unsprung mass. The second actuator is coupled to the first actuator to form the suspension actuator assembly as a singular unit.
摘要:
A suspension system includes a primary actuator, an inertial actuator, and a controller. The primary actuator applies force between a sprung mass and an unsprung mass of a vehicle to control movement therebetween. The inertial actuator applies force between the unsprung mass and a reaction mass to damp movement of the unsprung mass. The inertial actuator has a threshold capacity. The controller controls the primary actuator and the inertial actuator. The controller determines a required damping of the movement of the unsprung mass, and apportions the required damping between the primary actuator and the inertial actuator.
摘要:
A suspension component includes a suspension spring, a screw actuator that is operable to compress and decompress the suspension spring upon supply of electrical power to the screw actuator, and locking structure that engages a portion of the screw actuator to restrain motion of the screw actuator to maintain a current degree of compression of the suspension spring.
摘要:
A multiple node network is described wherein messages are transmitted between source and intermediate nodes to a destination node, the network including a message progress reporting system which employs a status word that enables the source node to determine a message's progress. Each parent node comprises a status word register for reporting a status word that indicates the progress of the message. The parent node further includes a routing mechanism for receiving a status word from a child node that indicates the message's progress in the child node and at succeeding nodes thereafter. The routing mechanism updates the status word in the status word register in accordance with the received status word. The routing mechanism further transmits the updated status word from the parent node to a source node upon the parent node having received status words from all child nodes to which the parent node transmitted the message whereby each succeeding parent node does not transmit its status word until all succeeding nodes have accumulated their status words and reported upward in the tree.

An active suspension system for a vehicle including elements for developing and executing a trajectory plan responsive to the path on which the vehicle is traveling. The system may include a location system for locating the vehicle, and a system for retrieving a road profile corresponding to the vehicle location.
