Problems solved by technology

However, under other operating conditions, such as during turns, during rapid deceleration, during low-speed maneuvers, it may be disadvantageous to have the trailer close to the vehicle, or if the trailer is loaded in a manner that is placed closer to the vehicle it would violate regulations established by government regulations. Axle Weight Limits

Embodiment Construction

[0023] figure 1 A vehicle trailer combination 10 is shown having a vehicle 12 and a trailer 14 . The vehicle has a slide adjustable fifth wheel hitch assembly 16 . Such as figure 1 As shown, the sliding adjustable fifth wheel hitch assembly 16 is in the first position. In the first position, the trailer 14 is a distance A away from the vehicle 12 . Distance A is sufficient to allow vehicle 12 to turn without contacting trailer 14 .

[0024] figure 2 show figure 1 A vehicle-trailer combination 10 has a sliding adjustable fifth wheel hitch assembly 16 in a second position. In the second position, the trailer 14 is a distance B away from the vehicle 12 . distance B less than figure 1 The distance A in. In the second position, the trailer 14 is closer to the vehicle 12 such that the aerodynamics of the vehicle-trailer combination 10 are improved. The improved aerodynamics of the vehicle-trailer combination 10 reduces fuel consumption of the vehicle-trailer combination 1...

Abstract

The present invention provides a sliding adjustable traction seat hooking assembly of a vehicle and a control system thereof, in order to resolve the problem that: a traction vehicle undergoes a severe fuel economic demand; in order to satisfy the demand, it is helpful to reduce the distance of the vehicle and the traction vehicle in a normal work condition, thereby reducing the resistance of wind force. A traction seat actuator enables the traction seat to automatically and longitudinally move according to some vehicle conditions determined by a control system thereby realizing the purpose, wherein the control system is connected with a plurality of vehicle parameter sensors, and the vehicle parameter sensors monitor vehicle speed, vehicle acceleration, vehicle deflection angle, steering angle, steering rate, hinging angle and hinging rate.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to US Provisional Patent Application 61 / 244472, filed September 22, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The invention relates to a movable fifth wheel assembly of a vehicle and a control system thereof. More particularly, the present invention relates to a fifth wheel assembly for a vehicle that automatically adjusts the distance between the trailer and the vehicle under certain suitable operating conditions. Background technique [0004] Vehicle manufacturers and vehicle operators have worked in recent years to improve the fuel economy of vehicles so that vehicles can be cheaper to operate and meet stricter fuel economy regulations. In some heavy-duty vehicles, such as semi-trailers or trailers, the vehicle is used to tow a loaded trailer, and the location where the trailer is attached to the vehicle is usually indicated as a fifth wheel. One approach...
