SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR LEVELING AND OSCILLATION CONTROL OF A LIFT DEVICE
A leveling system for a lift device includes an axle, a pin, a cradle, and a chassis. The axle is configured to rotatably couple with one or more tractive elements. The pin extends through a bore of the axle. The cradle is pivotally coupled with the pin. The chassis is pivotally coupled with the pin and includes a first actuator and a second actuator. The first actuator and the second actuator each include a body and a rod configured to extend relative to the body. The rods of the first actuator and the second actuator are configured to be extended to engage corresponding surfaces on opposite sides of the cradle. The cradle and the chassis are configured to rock in unison a limited angular amount relative to the axle.
Axle load detection system, axle system and commercial vehicle with an axle load detection system
Axle load detection system for a commercial vehicle includes a force transmission element and a sensor unit, wherein the sensor unit includes at least one sensor, wherein the force transmission element includes a first assembly area and a second assembly area, wherein the first assembly area is fixed or can be fixed indirectly and/or directly to a vehicle frame of a vehicle of a commercial vehicle, wherein an air spring and/or a control arm is arranged and/or configured to be arranged on the second assembly area, wherein the sensor unit is configured to determine and/or detect a force transmitted via the force transmission element between the first assembly area and the second assembly area in a supporting direction.
Combined anti-slip floor mat
A combined anti-slip floor mat, including a mat body and a little mat, the mat body includes a leather, a PU self-skinning layer, and an anti-slip layer stacked together m that order. A recess is disposed in the middle of the top of the mat body, and the area of the recess is slightly less than the top area of the mat body; the little mat is matched to the recess in size. At least one opening is disposed on the middle of each side of the recess; wherein the opening passes through the floor mat; a cross notch is made on the bottom of the floor mat, by connecting each two opponent openings; the size of the little mat matches the recess on the mat body, and is separably embedded in the recess.
Anti-slip floor mat with transparent top surface
This invention provides an anti-slip floor mat with transparent top surface mainly includes a top surface, a PU self-skinning layer and an anti-slip layer stacked together in that order. The top surface is made of a transparent material. The PU self-skinning layer comprises foaming polyurethane and mainly formed by foaming an isocyanate with a polyether polyols intermixture, and the mass ratio of the isocyanate to the polyether polyols intermixture is 100:2050. A plurality of through holes passing through said anti-slip layer are defined in the anti-slip layer. A surface of said PU self-skinning layer adjacent to said anti-slip layer further comprises a plurality of rivets, said rivets pass through said through holes and extend to a surface of said anti-slip layer away from said PU self-skinning layer.
DISTRIBUTED ACTIVE SUSPENSION SYSTEM WITH AN ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN PUMP AND VALVE CONTROLLED HYDRAULIC PUMP BYPASS FLOW PATH
A regenerative shock absorber that includes a housing and a piston that moves at least partially through the housing when the shock is compressed or extended from a rest position. When the piston moves, hydraulic fluid is pressurized and drives a hydraulic motor. The hydraulic motor, in turn, drives an electric generator that produced electric energy. The electric energy may be provided to a vehicle, among other things. The regenerative shock absorber may also provide ride performance that comparable to or exceeds that of conventional shock absorbers.
Sensor device
Provided is a sensor device in which the sensitivity of a strain sensor is hardly inhibited despite the fact that a glass material is used as a protective material, and in which the glass material hardly breaks. The sensor device of the present invention includes: an optical laminate including a glass film, an adhesive layer, a resin layer, and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer in the stated order; and a strain-sensing unit, wherein the glass film has a thickness of from 20 m to 150 m. In one embodiment, the strain-sensing unit is arranged on a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer side of the optical laminate.
Method of determining whether a frame of a work machine is approaching a tip over point
The present disclosure relates to a method of determining whether a frame of a work machine is approaching a tip over point. First and second loads upon respective first and second support arrangements of the frame are detected using respective first and second sensing means. Signals are generated indicative of the first and second loads and communicated to a controller. The controller is configured to generate an alert based upon the first and second loads when the first and/or second load signals indicate that the orientation of the work machine is approaching a tip over point.
Modified control of variable shock absorbers
Described are devices, systems, and methods that enable greater control and customization of variable suspension systems via mechanical modification, among other advantages. In one example, a linkage device is configured to be attached to a suspension arm of a vehicle and to a vehicle frame of the vehicle. The linkage device is configured to mechanically modify one or more physical states detected by a sensor of the vehicle, thereby causing the sensor to output modified signals to a controller, and causing the controller to output modified control signals to a variable shock absorber connected between the vehicle frame and the suspension arm, thereby modifying one or more variable physical properties of the variable shock absorber.
