Vehicle vibration device
Vehicle vibration device for a vehicle seat or a vehicle cabin, comprising a lower part and an upper part which is resiliently mounted relative to the lower part by a damper means, wherein the upper part is mounted in a suspended manner on the lower part by means of at least one pivot bearing, wherein the at least one first pivot bearing comprises at least one first lever, the first end of which is attached to the lower part by a first pivot axis and the second end of which is attached to the upper part by a second pivot axis, wherein the second end is located below the first end when viewed in a vertical direction, wherein at least the position of the first end of the lever can be changed by an adjustment means.
VEHICLE VIBRATION DAMPENING MOUNT ASSEMBLY
A vibration dampening mount assembly includes a housing, resilient material, a sleeve and a restricting structure. The resilient material is fixedly attached to an interior surface of the housing and defines a first chamber and a second chamber. The sleeve is disposed within the housing and is centrally attached to the resilient material. The restricting structure between the first chamber and the second chamber includes a first portion attached to the housing and a second portion attached to the sleeve. In response to movement of the sleeve relative to the housing, the second portion of the restricting structure moves relative to the first portion. The first portion and the second portion of the restricting structure define a fluid passageway therebetween. The cross-sectional area of the fluid passageway changes in response to movement of the second portion relative to the first portion.
CAB SUSPENSION SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS OF MANUFACTURE AND USE
Vehicle cab suspension control systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, the cab suspension control systems can include front cab-to-frame mounts that include controllable elastomer-based isolators that can provide real time variable damping to improve ride quality and/or road holding and reduce cab roll in response to, for example, input from one or more cab and/or frame mounted accelerometers, position sensors, etc. Embodiments of the control systems described herein can utilize a single vehicle controller (e.g., an ECU) to control all of the cab suspension components (e.g., semi-active damping technologies, air spring technologies, etc.) employed on a vehicle to provide a single suspension control solution that can provide improved ride performance, road holding, etc.
Vehicle with force-controlled shock absorber (2-pipe shock absorber)
The invention relates to a shock absorber with a housing, an inner pipe arranged in the housing, a piston rod, a piston which is arranged at that end of the piston rod, and which piston divides the interior of the inner pipe into a lower chamber and an upper chamber, a first valve arrangement which is arranged on the piston, and a third valve arrangement which is arranged at the lower end of the inner pipe and by means of which the working medium which is held in the interior of the housing, serving as a tank, can flow out of the interior of the housing, only into the lower chamber when the piston moves in the inner pipe. The shock absorber is distinguished by the fact that a hydraulic pump drive is arranged between a first connection element of the lower chamber of the inner pipe and a second connection element at the upper chamber of the inner pipe.
Operator compartment structure
The present invention provides an operator compartment structure for a working machine. The compartment structure comprises a roof having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a floor spaced apart from the roof. A first section of the inner surface of the roof is orientated at an angle to the floor.
Suspension device and method
Suspension unit, comprising a control unit, for a utility vehicle, wherein the utility vehicle has a body floor, to which a first and a second axle are connected, wherein the utility vehicle comprises at least one vehicle seat and/or a vehicle cab that can be suspended by a suspension device relative to the body floor, wherein the vehicle seat and/or the vehicle cab is arranged substantially above the second axle seen in a vertical direction, wherein, when driving over a bump with the first axle, a value of a deflection of the first axle by the disturbance can be determined by at least one sensor, and wherein the suspension device of the vehicle seat and/or vehicle cab can be varied by the control unit before or upon driving over the disturbance with the second axle.
Cab suspension system for a work vehicle
A cab suspension system for a work vehicle includes a front suspension assembly having a bracket configured to fixedly couple to a frame of a cab of the work vehicle. In addition, the front suspension assembly includes a support element having a torsion bar and a pair of longitudinal supports. Each of the pair of longitudinal supports is configured to rotatably couple to a chassis of the work vehicle. The front suspension assembly also includes a damping assembly coupled to the support element and configured to couple to the chassis. The bracket is rotatably coupled to the support element at a pivot joint assembly, and the bracket is configured to position the pivot joint assembly forward of the cab relative to a direction of travel of the work vehicle while the bracket is coupled to the frame of the cab.
Damping fluid devices, systems and methods
The present subject matter relates to improved damping fluid mount devices, systems, and methods in which a damping fluid mount (100) includes an inner member (110), an elastomer section (130) that is affixed to an outer surface of the inner member (110), and a cup (200) containing viscous fluid (300). The elastomer section (130) has an outer diameter that is variable along an elastomer contour, and a crimped portion of the cup is radially crimped into the elastomer section (130) such that the crimped portion precompresses the elastomer section (130) and substantially mimics the elastomer contour.
MOUNTING ARRANGEMENT FOR MOUNTING A CAB TO A CHASSIS OF A VEHICLE
A mounting arrangement for mounting a cab to a chassis of a vehicle, the mounting arrangement comprising a chassis bracket adapted to be mounted to the chassis, a cab bracket adapted to be mounted to the cab, and a mounting unit adapted to connect the chassis bracket and the cab bracket, wherein the mounting unit comprises a core member, the core member comprising an aperture being arranged to extend along a mounting axis extending at least partially in a vertical direction, whereby the mounting arrangement further comprises a fastening member adapted to be mounted to the mounting unit and one of the cab bracket and the chassis bracket, the fastening member being arranged to extend along the mounting axis inside the aperture.
