Definitions
- This invention pertains to the art of traction control assemblies and more particularly, to a combined traction and suspension control assembly that provides 6x4 like traction performance on a 6x2 vehicle.
- the invention is particularly applicable to vehicles such as truck/tractor systems or buses and will be described with particular reference thereto. It will be appreciated, however, that the invention may have broader applications and may be advantageously employed in related environments or applications .
- Antilock/traction control assemblies are well known for truck and tractor systems.
- a 6x4 system has a pair of drive axles, each necessarily including a drive mechanism and differential. Vehicle cost is higher in a 6x4 arrangement relative to a 6x2 arrangement because of the additional drive components. The increased costs can be on the order of $1,000.
- Traction control assemblies use the same general principles as an antilock braking system. That is, on wet surfaces, curves, split surfaces, and ice, traction control senses when the wheels of a vehicle spin upon acceleration, i.e., due to a loss of traction between the road surface and the tire. In order to compensate for this loss of traction, additional drive torque is transferred to the non-spinning tires or wheels. A braking force is gently applied to the spinning wheel which transfers the torque through the differential to the non-spinning, or more slowly spinning, wheel. If both wheels spin, then the engine RPM is electronically controlled and reduced to an appropriate level .
- only one of the two rear axles is a drive axle.
- the non-drive axle, or tag axle or pusher axle further distributes the vehicle load over an additional axle. In a traction control event the wheels associated with the non-drive axle may not even rotate.
- the present invention contemplates a new and improved traction and suspension control assembly for a truck or tractor that overcomes the above-referenced problems and others and provides a simple, economical assembly that provides improved, effective, traction control in a simplified, reduced cost system.
- a traction and suspension control assembly includes a drive axle and a non-drive axle.
- a traction control assembly associated with the drive axle selectively transfers torque in response to a differential traction control event.
- a suspension control assembly selectively transfers vehicle load from the non-drive rear axle to the drive rear axle in response to a differential traction control event.
- the suspension control assembly is in fluid communication with the traction control assembly for automatically altering the vehicle load distribution in response to a differential traction control event.
- the suspension control assembly includes a fluid chamber associated with each axle and a valve that regulates fluid flow from one chamber to the other for transferring vehicle load between the axles.
- braking on the non-drive axle is isolated from the drive axle during a differential traction control event .
- a principal advantage of the invention is the ability to obtain increased traction in a 6x2 system by modifying conventional traction control and air suspension assemblies, and tying the two together into a single integrated system.
- Another advantage of the invention is the automated nature of operation in response to a differential traction control event.
- Still another advantage of the invention is the ability to limit the amount of vehicle load that may be shifted from one axle to the other.
- Figure 1 is a schematic representation of a truck braking system.
- Figure 2 is a schematic representation of the new traction control arrangement that ties the air suspension assembly into the circuit of the antilock/traction assembly.
- Figure 1 shows a tractor having tandem rear wheels 10, 12.
- the wheels 10 are connected together by a first or drive axle 14 of conventional structure.
- one of the rear axles associated with the tandem wheels 10, 12 is a non-drive axle, here represented by the second or rear axle 12.
- the arrangement may be reversed without departing from the scope and intent of the subject invention.
- the tractor A shown in Figure 1 is equipped with a conventional antilock/traction control assembly B commercially available, for example, from the assignee of the present application.
- the system includes an antilock modulator assembly 20 that controls braking to front wheels 22 of the tractor.
- an antilock/traction controller is incorporated into the pneumatic assembly so that air controls braking of the first and second axles also.
- a series of sensors 26 provide representative signals of wheel spinning conditions to the control unit. If a wheel is spinning, i.e., a differential traction control event is sensed, braking is gently applied to the spinning wheel. This transfers torque to the non-spinning wheel through the differential as is well known in the art.
- details of conventional antilock/traction control assemblies are well known in the art so further discussion herein is deemed unnecessary to a full and complete understanding of the present invention.
- a source of compressed air 28 is provided for the pneumatic assembly. It supplies air to an antilock/traction controller 30 which includes an antilock electronic control unit 32.
- the controller is also 30 equipped with traction solenoid valve 34 and relay valve 36. In this manner, pressurized air from the source 28 is controlled to modulator valves 38, 40 which supply the air brake actuators 42 associated with the rear wheels 10, 12.
- modulator valves 38, 40 which supply the air brake actuators 42 associated with the rear wheels 10, 12.
- the sensors 26 are associated with the wheels 10 on the drive axle to monitor the rotation of the wheels.
- the non-drive axle wheels 12 do not include such sensors.
- Fluid lines 50, 52 extending from the modulators include first branches 50', 52' that supply the brake actuators associated with the drive axle.
- second branches 50' ' and 52' ' supply air to operate the brake actuators associated with wheels 12.
- an air suspension assembly 60 is provided for the drive and non-drive axle assembly.
- the air suspension assembly 60 includes fluid chambers or air bags 62, preferably discrete air bags, that shift or proportion the vehicle load between the drive and non-drive axles when inflated or deflated.
- the air bags 62 associated with the drive axle are commonly supplied through line 64 and communicate with a non-drive axle air suspension control valve 66.
- the air bags 62 associated with the non-drive axle wheels are commonly supplied through a line 68 that extends from the non-drive axle air suspension control valve. In this manner, the air bags associated with the drive axle work in tandem and, similarly, the air bags associated with the non-drive axle work in tandem to shift the vehicle load as desired for enhanced traction.
- the tag axle air suspension control valve 66 is in fluid communication with the traction solenoid of the antilock/traction controller via line 70. This provides pressurized air from the source 28 as regulated by the antilock/traction controller 32, 34, 36 and supplies pressurized air to the control valve 66. Thus, if a differential traction control event occurs, pressurized air to the suspension control valve 66 is regulated.
- isolation valves 72 are provided in the branch passages 52 ' ' associated with each brake actuator 42 of the non-drive axle. Thus, when a traction control event is encountered, air pressure provided from the antilock/traction controller through line 70 is directed to valves 72 to isolate the braking to the non-drive axle from the drive axle. In this manner, there is no brake drag on the non-drive axle during a differential traction control event.
- the system of the present invention uses a single drive axle 14.
- the single drive axle is used in combination with an air bag suspension assembly 60 on a non-drive axle, traction control 26, 38, 40 of the drive axle, and isolation valve 70 to separate control of the drive and non-drive axles .
- the non-drive axle helps carry the vehicle load during normal operation.
