摘要:
A torque is transmitted between a fluid pressure pump driven together with drive of a vehicle, and a fluid pressure motor that rotates together with driven wheels. The fluid pressure motor has two ports, and rotates in accordance with the direction of fluid supply to the ports. Fluid is circulated from one port to the other according to the input of rotation torque from the driven wheels. A high pressure flowpath connected to the pump outlet, and a low pressure flowpath connected to the pump inlet, are connected to these ports, and the connection direction is reversed when the rotation direction of the drive wheels is reversed. The low pressure flowpath is therefore always at low pressure regardless of the rotation direction of the drive wheels, and by controlling the pump supply flowrate so as not to exceed a predetermined value, torque is not transmitted when the vehicle is running at high speed.

A pressure control valve for adjusting a controlled pressure supplied to an actuator includes first and second valves. The first valve serves to modify a pressure level of a working fluid supplied from a fluid pressure source to a preselected level and provides it to the actuator. The second valve is responsive to a control signal commanding elevation or reduction in the controlled pressure from a controller to adjust a supply pressure level from the fluid pressure source to provide a pilot pressure, elevated or reduced to a preselected level, to the first valve for activating same. When elevating or reducing the pilot pressure, the second valve decreases the supply pressure level from the fluid pressure source by a preselected degree, for balancing a flow gain when elevating the pilot pressure with that when reducing the pilot pressure, for providing uniform response for elevation and reduction of the controlled pressure to the actuator.

A proportioning valve assembly employs an electromagnetic acuator, such as a proportioning solenoid, associated with a driver circuit. The driver circuit is provided a lead phase circuit for providing a lead phase in supplying a supply current for controlling the valve position of the proportioning valve. Providing appropriate lead time reduces necessity of high gain in attitude change suppression mode operation. Therefore, the response characteristics in pressure adjustment in the shock absorbing mode operation, can be prevented from falling an excessive level.

A proportioning valve assembly has a supply port through which a pressurized working fluid is supplied, a drain port through which a pressurized working fluid is drained, and a control port connected to a working chamber defined in a hydraulic cylinder disposed between a vehicular body and a suspension member rotatably supporting a vehicular wheel. The proportioning valve assembly further includes a valve member for adjusting working fluid pressure to be supplied to the working chamber via the control port. A flow restricting orifice is provided in the proportioning valve assembly. The flow restricting orifice employed is designed to provide variable flow restriction depending upon working fluid condition and/or the direction for achieving stabilization of pilot pressure or road shock absorption.

A surgical instrument comprises an ultrasonic source (7) and an ultrasonic vibration transmitter (8) connected to the source (7), which generates ultrasonic mechanical vibration. The ultrasonic vibration transducer includes a plurality of ring-shaped cutting blade portions (14) provided on an outer periphery of an operational part (9) which contacts organic tissue, and a liquid passage (11) through the transducer. The liquid passage opens at a front end (12) of the operational part and at recesses (13) between the blade portions. The surgical instrument cuts or incises organic tissue by ultrasonic vibration.

A brake control system for an automotive vehicle has an improved hydraulic circuit network which is capable of performing pressure boosting operation for a pressure supplied from a master cylinder, as well as anti-skid brake control operation and traction control operation. The system includes a valve device for selectively establishing and blocking fluid communication between master cylinder and wheel cylinder. The valve device is generally responsive to the fluid pressure supplied from the master cylinder to enter into pressure boosting mode in response to increase in the fluid pressure from the master cylinder across a predetermined value. An electronically operable boost control device cooperates with the valve device for varying pressure boosting magnitude depending upon vehicle driving condition. An electronically operable traction control device is also provided and cooperates with the boost control device for generating a braking force to decelerate a vehicle wheel irrespectively of manual operation state of brake system when wheel spinning is detected or predicted. The system exhibits high safety level by an enhanced fail-safe function.

A control system for steering front wheels and rear wheels of a controlled vehicle has a processing unit such as a microcomputer which determines a desired value of at least one of dynamical variables such as yaw rate, yaw acceleration, and lateral acceleration from sensed steering input and sensed vehicle speed by solving equations of motion of a vehicle in which parameters inherent to the vehicle are set equal to desired values so determined as to provide desired cornering characteristics. From the desired value of the dynamical variable, the processing unit determines desired values of front and rear steering angles of the front and rear wheels required to achieve the desired value of the dynamical variable in the controlled vehicle. The control system further has a front wheel steering actuator for steering the front wheels in accordance with the desired value of the front steering angle, and a rear wheel steering actuator for steering the rear wheels in accordance with the desired value of the rear steering angle.

A pressure regulating valve varies an input fluid pressure from a pump to a steering pressure either stepwise or continuously varied in accordance with the vehicle speed and, when a power cylinder control valve alternatively admits the steering pressure into two working chambers of a power cylinder, a reaction chamber control valve alternatively admits the input fluid pressure into only a reaction force chamber of the power cylinder control valve, corresponding to the working chamber fed with the steering pressure, to produce in the reaction force chamber a reaction force increased with increases in the vehicle speed.

A control system for steering either or both of front wheel pair and a rear wheel pair of a controlled vehicle has a processing unit such as a microcomputer for determining a desired vehicle behavior, and an actuator unit for steering either or both of the front and rear wheel pairs under command of the processing unit. The processing unit first determines a desired value of a dynamical variable such as a yaw acceleration corresponding to sensed steering input and sensed vehicle speed by solving equations of motion of a desired vehicle obtained by setting vehicle parameters appearing in the equations to desired values determined by the desired vehicle. The processing unit further determines a desired value of a steering angle of at least one of the front and rear wheel pairs which is required to achieve the desired value of the dynamical variable by solving equations of motion obtained by setting the vehicle parameters equal to actual values determined by the controlled vehicle. The control system further has an actual behavior sensor for sensing an actual value of the yaw acceleration or other dynamical variable of the controlled vehicle, and an adjuster for adjusting the actual values of one or more vehicle parameters used in determining the desired steering angle, in accordance with the actual value of the dynamical variable.
