Wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle

A wheel suspension system for a motor vehicle which includes a front axle having two front wheels, to each of which a front hydraulic cylinder is assigned, and a rear axle having two rear wheels, to each of which a rear hydraulic cylinder is assigned. The hydraulic cylinders in a hydraulic system are connected crosswise hydraulically. In order to implement active roll stabilization in a wheel suspension system, a hydraulic pump in the hydraulic system is connected hydraulically between the crosswise-connected hydraulic cylinders.

STABILIZER CONTROL APPARATUS

The ECU of the stabilizer control apparatus determines, based on a high frequency component of a wheel acceleration and a low frequency component of a wheel speed difference, whether a road surface state is a rough road state or a smooth road state. When the road surface state is determined to be the rough road state, the ECU sets a turning determination threshold to a rough road threshold. When the road surface state is determined to be the smooth road state, the ECU sets the threshold to a smooth road threshold. When a turning determination parameter is greater than the threshold, the ECU sets each of first, second, and third cylinders to a lock state to increase rigidity of stabilizers. When the turning determination parameter is smaller than the turning determination threshold, the ECU sets each of the cylinders to a free state to decrease the rigidity of the stabilizers.

Hydraulic actuator with a frequency dependent relative pressure ratio

Disclosed herein are hydraulic actuators and methods for the operation of actuators having variable relative pressure ratios. Further disclosed are methods for designing and/or operating a hydraulic actuator such that the actuator exhibits a variable relative pressure ratio. In certain embodiments, the relative pressure ratio of the hydraulic actuator may be dependent on one or more characteristics (such as, for example, frequency or rate of change) of an oscillating input to the hydraulic actuator.

Cross-linked vehicle suspension
11440370 · 2022-09-13 · ·

Cross-linked vehicle suspension systems. A first wheel is mechanically linked to a second wheel by a cross tie, so that motion from an impact with an obstacle by the first wheel is transmitted to the second wheel. A shock absorber may be coupled to each wheel, the cross tie, or both, to distribute absorption of the impact. In some embodiments, a second pair of wheels may be coupled by a second cross tie and configured diagonally to the first pair of wheels. A shock absorber may be coupled to both cross ties to link all wheels together, for full distribution of all loads across all wheels.
