Single axle roll control system with multiple circuit-specific pressurizing devices
A single axle suspension system that includes right and left dampers, first and second hydraulic circuits, a first pressurizing mechanism that is connected in fluid communication with the first hydraulic circuit, and a second pressurizing mechanism that is connected in fluid communication with the second hydraulic circuit. The first and second pressurizing mechanisms are configured to provide active roll control by adding and removing hydraulic fluid to and from the first and second hydraulic circuits to increase and decrease pressure inside the first and second hydraulic circuits independent of damper movements. This in turn causes a simultaneous increase in the fluid pressure inside either the first working chamber of the right and the second working chamber of the left damper or the first working chamber of the left damper and the second working chambers of the right damper to provide roll stiffness that counters vehicle roll during cornering.
Vehicle anti-rollover system
A work vehicle is provided having a first pair of wheels mounted to a vehicle body via a fixed axle and a second pair of wheels mounted to the vehicle body via a pivotable axle. The work vehicle includes an anti-rollover system with at least two load sensors mounted at an axle housing near different ones of the first pair of wheels to measure a downward force borne by each respective wheel, the at least two load sensors being operationally connected to a processor. The processor is configured to send anti-rollover commands to the anti-rollover system based on signals received from the at least two load sensors.
Method and system for alleviating the consequences of a collision
A method for alleviating the consequences of a collision of a vehicle, having a front axle and/or a rear axle with at least one roll stabilization device with which torques can be applied in the region of the front axle and/or the rear axle for the purpose of roll stabilization. In order to alleviate the consequences of collisions of vehicles, in the event of a collision protective torques are generated using the roll stabilization devices.
DEVICE FOR CONNECTING A WHEEL TO A VEHICLE
An embodiment of the present invention discloses a device (100) for connecting a wheel to a vehicle (620) comprising: an input shaft (620) able to be kinematically connected to an engine of a vehicle and having a rotation axis (C); an oscillating support (120) able to be hinged to a vehicle frame (T) along a predetermined horizontal hinge axis (B) parallel to and distanced from the rotation axis (C) of the input shaft (620); an auxiliary shaft (125) rotatably associated to the oscillating support (120) according to a rotation axis (A) parallel to and distanced from the hinge axis (B); a wheel-bearing hub (110) rotatably associated to the oscillating support (120) according to a rotation axis (A) parallel to and distanced from the hinge axis (B); first transmission means (625) able to transmit the motion from the input shaft (620) to the auxiliary shaft (125); second transmission means (130) able to transmit the motion of the auxiliary shaft (125) to the wheel-bearing hub (110).
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ALLEVIATING THE CONSEQUENCES OF A COLLISION
A method for alleviating the consequences of a collision of a vehicle, having a front axle and/or a rear axle with at least one roll stabilization device with which torques can be applied in the region of the front axle and/or the rear axle for the purpose of roll stabilization. In order to alleviate the consequences of collisions of vehicles, in the event of a collision protective torques are generated using the roll stabilization devices.
DEVICE FOR OPERATING A CHASSIS OF A TWO-TRACK VEHICLE
A device for operating a chassis of a two-track vehicle, in which each vehicle wheel is assigned a suspension spring, which carries the static body weight of the vehicle, and a vertical dynamics actuator, which is actuatable by a vertical dynamics control unit, having a tipping detection function which detects a tipping situation with a roll-over risk in which there is a danger that the vehicle will tip sideways on a transversely inclined roadway. When a roll-over risk is detected, the vertical dynamics control unit actuates the vertical dynamics actuators to avoid roll-over.
