A kind of novel air spring rigidity adaptive continuous adjustment system
One, technical field:
The present invention relates to rigidity continuous adjustment system and the method for a kind of vehicle air suspension with air bellow.The air bellow that this self adaptation rigidity is regulated especially is adapted to the carrying big bus, and the city bus big bus also is adapted to shipping truck and rail traffic vehicles and other vehicle and mechanical equipment.
Two, the state of the art:
In order to improve ride of vehicle, improve the traveling comfort of taking, alleviate the damage of vehicle to road and goods, developed country is at its carrying big bus, the city bus big bus has adopted air bellow widely in the suspension system of shipping truck and rail traffic vehicles and other vehicle.China is also wideling popularize and mandatory employing air bellow in recent years in order to catch up with and surpass this developing direction.In the air bellow technology of constantly development, in order further to enlarge the scope of the stiffness variable of air bellow, more be applicable to the variation of car load in order to it, people have carried out deep exploration.At present the technology of comparative maturity is that air chamber with air bellow is divided into major and minor air chamber, realizes that by the electromagnetic valve of controlling on the interface channel between major and minor air chamber the change of elasticity gas volume reaches the rigidity that changes air bellow.Rigidity sectional type control is generally adopted in the control of the rigidity of air bellow in the airsuspension system of non-active suspension, with the rigidity of air bellow be divided into soft, hard two retainings or soft, in, hard three retainings.The control signal of this rigidity control system is delivered and is sent control command after micro controller system is handled by the multiple sensor collection, is regulated the rigidity of air bellow by actuating unit.Its main deficiency is that the response time lag of system is big slightly; Secondly, because the acquisition process of the signal of system is comparatively numerous and diverse to carrying out, its cost is far above common air suspension; Moreover the rigidity of air bellow can not be regulated continuously.
Three, goal of the invention and solution:
Purpose of the present invention will be developed cheaply a kind of exactly, can be automatically according to the load of vehicle with travel and the situation self adaptation of road is regulated the air bellow of rigidity, a kind of spring stiffness adaptive continuous adjustment system of simple and reliable, responding fast.
Solution of the present invention is: the electric signal that control signal of the prior art is sent by ECU is changed into the air pressure signal in the air-spring bellows, directly act on an end of an air slide spool by this pressure signal, and the other end is by the spring force effect.When vehicle was unloaded, the air-spring bellows inner air pressure multiply by the thrust that sectional area produced and the spring force balance of valve core of the spool valve, and the restriction of this flow regulating valve is in maximum open, and the rigidity of air bellow is minimum; Load increase when vehicle, the air bag inner air pressure rises, the thrust that sectional area produced that acts on valve core of the spool valve increases, the promotion valve core of the spool valve overcomes spring force and moves down, reach new balance, valve core of the spool valve moves down the restriction on the interface channel that has promptly turned down between major and minor air chamber, has dwindled the elasticity gas volume, the rigidity of air bellow is increased, adapt to corresponding load.When vehicle turns round, because action of inertia leans on the air bag inner air pressure of the air bellow in the bend outside to rise, meanwhile, turn down the restriction on the interface channel between major and minor air chamber equally, the rigidity of air bellow is increased, thereby stoped the further inclination of vehicle body; When vehicle jack rabbit start or hard brake stop, if the rigidity of air bellow does not increase thereupon, same because action of inertia, can make vehicle body produce the layback and the phenomenon that leans forward, the present invention has equally when vehicle body produces layback and lean forward generation, improve the function of the rigidity of back, preceding air bellow, suppress the aggravation of this phenomenon effectively.
Projection on the road is to the impact of vehicle body in the process of moving in order to weaken vehicle, and the present invention is another flow regulating valve by the pressure reduction control of major and minor air chamber in parallel on the passage of major and minor air chamber.When wheel is run into projection, the pressure of main gas tank increases rapidly, the pressure of this growth has caused the pressure reduction of major and minor air chamber to increase rapidly, when this with differential pressure action in the thrust that sectional area produced of spool greater than spring force, this valve is opened rapidly, strengthened the choke area on the interface channel between major and minor air chamber, promptly reduced the rigidity of air bellow, alleviated the impact of the projection on the road vehicle body.And crossed projection when wheel, and promptly pressure pulsation disappears, and the pressure reduction of major and minor air chamber descends, and this valve promotes to cut out rapidly by spring force, and it is normal that the air bag inner air pressure recovers, and the rigidity of air bellow is also restored thereupon.
Control signal of the present invention is directly taken from the pressure of main gas tank, need not to gather and conversion, also need not by sending regulating command again after the ECU processing, and actuating unit is carried out it again.Control signal and regulating command are integrated, and effect is rapid, reliable, and its response time lag can be ignored, and the rigidity of air bellow is regulated sensitivity and greatly improved; Because control signal and regulating command are integrated, need not to have again the acquisition processing system of signal, cost greatly descends; Because control command of the present invention is the pressure of major and minor air chamber, the rigidity of air bellow is regulated with the pressure variation of main gas tank, regulates smooth and easy continuous.

Five, embodiment:
The specific embodiment of the present invention is: work as stationary vehicle, when unloaded, air bellow main gas tank 1 inner air pressure multiply by the thrust that sectional area produced of spool of flow regulating valve 3 and the spring force balance of spring 5, the restriction of flow regulating valve 3 is in maximum open, the rigidity of air bellow is minimum, load increase when vehicle, main gas tank's 1 inner air pressure rises, acting on the thrust that is produced on the end face of spool of flow regulating valve 3 increases, the spring force that the spool of promotion flow regulating valve 3 overcomes spring 5 moves down, reach new balance, the spool of flow regulating valve 3 moves down the restriction on the interface channel that has promptly turned down 2 of main gas tank 1 and accessory air-spaces, dwindled the elasticity gas volume, the rigidity of air bellow is increased, adapt to corresponding load.When vehicle turns round, because action of inertia rises by the air pressure in the main gas tank 1 of the air bellow outside the bend, turned down the restriction of flow regulating valve 3 simultaneously, dwindled the elasticity gas volume, the rigidity of air bellow is increased, keep the steady of vehicle body.When the vehicle hard brake stop, same because action of inertia, can make in the forward mounting the main gas tank 1 of air bellow in air pressure rise, turned down the restriction of flow regulating valve 3 simultaneously, dwindle the elasticity gas volume, the rigidity of air bellow is increased, stoped leaning forward of vehicle body; Otherwise when the vehicle jack rabbit start, the present invention has the function of the rigidity that improves the back air bellow equally, has suppressed the aggravation of layback phenomenon effectively.When wheel is run into projection, in main gas tank 1, produced a pressure pulsation, this pressure pulsation is in the restriction that turns down flow regulating valve 3, caused the pressure reduction of main gas tank 1 and accessory air-space 2 to increase and opened simultaneously the flow regulating valve 4 of choke area gradient rapidly greater than flow regulating valve 3, strengthened the choke area on the interface channel of 2 of main gas tank 1 and accessory air-spaces, promptly reduced the rigidity of air bellow, alleviated the impact of the projection on the road vehicle body.And crossed projection when wheel, and promptly pressure pulsation disappears, and the pressure reduction of major and minor air chamber descends, and flow regulating valve 4 cuts out rapidly, and it is normal that main gas tank's 1 inner air pressure recovers, and the rigidity of air bellow is also restored thereupon.
