Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Mehrachsfederung für Nutzkraftfahrzeuge mit einer angetriebenen Hinterachse und mindestens einer Nachlauf-Hinterachse, bei denen diese Hinterachsen unabhängig voneinander durch Blattfedern gegenüber dem Fahrgestellrahmen abgefedert und geführt sind.The invention relates to a multi-axle suspension for commercial vehicles with a driven rear axle and at least one trailing rear axle, in which these rear axles are independent of one another are cushioned and guided by leaf springs relative to the chassis frame.
Bei Nutzkraftfahrzeugen mit einer angetriebenen Hinterachse und mindestens einer Nachlauf-Hinterachse kann bei leerem oder nur teilweise beladenem Fahrzeug der Fall eintreten, daß die angetriebene Hinterachse nur so niedrig belastet ist, daß unter ungünstigen Bedingungen, z. B. beim Befahren starker Steigungen oder vereister Straßen, keine einwandfreie Übertragung der Antriebskraft auf die Fahrbahn möglich ist.For commercial vehicles with a driven rear axle and at least one trailing rear axle it can happen with an empty or only partially loaded vehicle that the driven Rear axle is loaded only so low that under unfavorable conditions, z. B. when driving stronger Inclines or icy roads, impeccable transmission of the driving force to the road surface is not possible is.
In der deutschen Patentschrift 1157 942 und der USA.-Patentschrift 3 094 341 sind bereits Nutzkraftfahrzeuge beschrieben, bei denen eine angetriebene Hinterachse durch Blattfedern und eine Nachlauf-Hinterachse durch Luftfedern gegenüber dem Fahr- ao gestellrahmen abgefedert sind, wobei der Druck in den Luftfedern in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der angetriebenen Hinterachse geregelt wird.German patent specification 1157 942 and USA patent specification 3,094,341 already mention commercial vehicles described in which a driven rear axle by leaf springs and a trailing rear axle are cushioned by air springs in relation to the chassis, whereby the pressure in the air springs is controlled depending on the load on the driven rear axle.
Bei einer derartigen Anordnung kann aber die Belastung der Nachlauf-Hinterachse nur bis zu deren Eigengewicht verringert werden, was keine optimale Lösung der gestellten Aufgabe bedeutet.With such an arrangement, however, the load on the trailing rear axle can only be up to its Dead weight can be reduced, which does not mean an optimal solution to the task at hand.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, eine Federung für Nutzkraftfahrzeuge der eingangs beschriebenen Art zu schaffen, bei der bei leerem oder nur zum Teil beladenem Fahrzeug eine Entlastung der Nachlauf-Hinterachse auch ganz oder teilweise von ihrem Eigengewicht möglich ist, so daß im Extremfall die Räder dieser Achse überhaupt keinen Druck mehr auf die Fahrbahn ausüben.The invention is therefore based on the object of providing a suspension for commercial vehicles of the initially introduced to create described type, in the case of an empty or only partially loaded vehicle a relief the trailing rear axle is also wholly or partially possible from its own weight, so that in In an extreme case, the wheels of this axle no longer exert any pressure on the roadway.
Diese Aufgabe wird bei einer Mehrachs-Federung für Nutzkraftfahrzeuge mit einer angetriebenen Hinterachse und mindestens einer Nachlauf-Hinterachse, bei denen diese Hinterachsen unabhängig voneinander durch Blattfedern gegenüber dem Fahrgestellrahmen abgefedert und geführt sind, dadurch gelöst, daß die Blattfedern der Nachlauf-Hinterachse so ausgelegt sind, daß sie bei leerem Fahrzeug im Stand eine nach oben gerichtete Federkraft auf die Nachlauf-Hinterachse ausüben und daß an der Nachlauf-Hinterachse zusätzlich zu den Blattfedern an jeder Seite des Fahrzeugs eine Luftfeder vorgesehen ist, deren Druck in an sich bekannter Weise in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der angetriebenen Hinterachse gesteuert wird.This task is driven with a multi-axle suspension for commercial vehicles Rear axle and at least one trailing rear axle, in which these rear axles are independent of each other are cushioned and guided by leaf springs relative to the chassis frame, thereby solved that the leaf springs of the trailing rear axle are designed so that they are in the empty vehicle Stand an upward spring force on the trailing rear axle and that on the trailing rear axle In addition to the leaf springs, an air spring is provided on each side of the vehicle is whose pressure in a known manner as a function of the load on the driven Rear axle is controlled.
Es ist dabei vorteilhaft, wenn die Steuerung des Druckes in den Luftfedern auf zwei Wegen über ein selbsttätiges Umschaltventil erfolgt, das jeweils den Weg mit dem höheren Druck mit den Luftfedern verbindet, wobei der Druck in dem einen Weg durch ein in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der angetriebenen Hinterachse gesteuertes Druckregelventil und der Druck in dem anderen Weg durch ein auf den für die Luftfedern vorgeschriebenen Mindestdruck eingestelltes Druckminderventil bestimmt wird.It is advantageous if the pressure in the air springs is controlled in two ways via one Automatic switchover valve takes place, which takes the path with the higher pressure with the air springs connects, the pressure in the one way through one depending on the load of the driven Rear axle controlled pressure control valve and the pressure in the other way through a on the for the air springs prescribed minimum pressure is determined.
Die Mehrachs-Federung nach der Erfindung soll im folgenden an Hand eines in den Zeichnungen dargestellten Ausführungsbeispiels näher erläutert werden. In den Zeichnungen zeigtThe multi-axle suspension according to the invention is to be shown in the following with reference to one in the drawings Exemplary embodiment will be explained in more detail. In the drawings shows
F i g. 1 eine Seitenansicht einer Doppelachs-Anordnung mit zusätzlicher Luftfeder an der Nachlauf-Hinterachse undF i g. 1 is a side view of a double-axle arrangement with additional air springs on the trailing rear axle and
Fig. 2 eine schematische Darstellung des Regelkreises eine Luftfeder gemäß vorliegender Erfindung. Fig. 2 is a schematic representation of the control loop of an air spring according to the present invention.
Eine angetriebene Hinterachsel ist durch Blattfedern 2 und eine Nachlauf-Hinterachse 3 durch Blattfedern 4 gegenüber einem Fahrgestellrahmen 5 abgefedert. Zwischen Nachlauf-Hinterachse 3 und Fahrgestellrahmen 5 ist auf jeder Seite des Fahrzeugs zusätzlich eine Luftfeder 6 angeordnet. Die Blattfedern 4 der Nachlauf-Hinterachse 3 sollen dabei so ausgelegt sein, daß sie bei leerem Fahrzeug im Stand eine nach oben gerichtete Federkraft auf die Nachlauf-Hinterachse ausüben.A rear axle is driven by leaf springs 2 and a trailing rear axle 3 by leaf springs 4 opposite a chassis frame 5 cushioned. Between the trailing rear axle 3 and the chassis frame 5 is on each side of the vehicle an air spring 6 is also arranged. The leaf springs 4 of the trailing rear axle 3 should be like this be designed so that when the vehicle is empty, an upward spring force is exerted on the trailing rear axle exercise.
In dem in F i g. 2 schematisch dargestellten Regelkreis führt von einem Druckluftbehälter 7 eine Leitung über ein Druckminderventil 8 und eine andere Leitung über ein in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der angetriebenen Hinterachsel gesteuertes Druckregelventil 9 zu einem selbsttätigen Umschaltventil 10, das über eine weitere Leitung mit den Luftfedern 6 in Verbindung steht.In the one shown in FIG. 2 schematically illustrated control circuit leads from a compressed air tank 7 a line Via a pressure reducing valve 8 and another line via a depending on the load the driven rear axle controlled pressure control valve 9 to an automatic switching valve 10, which is connected to the air springs via another line 6 communicates.
Das Umschaltventil 10 verbindet jeweils die Leitung mit der Leitung zu den Luftfedern 6, in der der höhere Druck herrscht.The switching valve 10 each connects the line with the line to the air springs 6, in which the higher pressure prevails.
Das Druckminderventile soll so eingestellt sein, daß es dem Umschaltventil 10 immer den für die Luftfedern 6 vorgeschriebenen Mindestdruck, z. B. 0,8 atü (Atmosphärenüberdruck), zuleitet.The pressure reducing valve should be set so that that it is the switching valve 10 always the prescribed minimum pressure for the air springs 6, z. B. 0.8 atü (atmospheric pressure).
Das in Abhängigkeit von der Belastung der angetriebenen Hinterachse 1 gesteuerte Druckregelventil 9 leitet dem Umschaltventil 10 bei voll ausgelasteter Hinterachse 1 z. B. einen Druck von 6 atü und bei nur durch das anteilige Fahrzeugeigengewicht belasteter Hinterachse 1 z. B. einen Druck von 0 atü zu.The pressure regulating valve 9 controlled as a function of the load on the driven rear axle 1 directs the switching valve 10 when the rear axle 1 is fully utilized z. B. a pressure of 6 atmospheres and at rear axle 1 z. B. to a pressure of 0 atm.
Solange das Umschaltventil 10 vom Druckregelventil 9 mit einem Druck beaufschlagt wird, der höher ist als 0,8 atü, wird also bei den im dargestellten Beispiel angeführten Drücken das Druckregelventil 9 über das Umschaltventil 10 mit den Luftfedern 6 verbunden sein. Bei einem Absinken des vom Druckregelventil 9 gelieferten Druckes unter 0,8 atü wird diese Verbindung unterbrochen und das Druckminderventil 8 mit den Luftfedern 6 verbunden, so daß sichergestellt ist, daß in den Luftfedern 6 immer der vorgeschriebene Mindestdruck aufrechterhalten wird.As long as the switching valve 10 is acted upon by the pressure control valve 9 with a pressure that is higher than 0.8 atm, so the pressure control valve will be at the pressures shown in the example shown 9 can be connected to the air springs 6 via the switching valve 10. If the the pressure supplied by the pressure control valve 9 below 0.8 atmospheres, this connection is interrupted and the pressure reducing valve 8 is connected to the air springs 6, so that it is ensured that in the air springs 6 the prescribed minimum pressure is always maintained.
