TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of vehicle suspension, and particularly relates to an intelligent hydraulic interconnected suspension system and a control method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Suspension systems play a very important role in the safety and stability of vehicles, but the requirements of vehicle comfort and handling stability on the characteristics of vehicle suspension are conflicting. The traditional suspension system generally has the characteristics of relatively simple structure and high reliability, but as a passive suspension system, it cannot change its parameters to improve vehicle comfort or handling stability for specific road conditions, so it is only a compromise for vehicle comfort and handling stability.
[0003] Interconnected suspension refers to a suspension system that makes the independent movement of automobile wheels related according to a predetermined mechanism through mechanical or hydraulic structure. It can transmit the movement of a single wheel to other wheels and cause the corresponding change of spring force, thereby integrating the independent wheel movement into a whole and greatly changing the suspension characteristics of the vehicle. Compared with the traditional suspension, the interconnected suspension has the following characteristics. Its main advantage is that it can greatly improve the handling performance of the vehicle, such as roll resistance and pitch resistance, without compromising ride comfort.
[0004] The patent document with the patent number CN114537072A discloses an oil-gas interconnected suspension with adaptive damping and adjustable roll stiffness. The technical solution adjusts the damping characteristics of the suspension system by controlling the size of the valve aperture of the electromagnetic proportional flow control valve, and adjusts the roll stiffness of the suspension by changing the initial gas pressure of the accumulator. However, this technical solution only involves the switching process of different suspension modes under a single configuration, and cannot realize switching between multiple configurations of the suspension system.
[0005] The patent document with the patent number CN115972840A discloses a hydraulic interconnected suspension system and a control method thereof. The technical solution realizes the mutual switching of the hydraulic interconnected suspension between the anti-roll, anti-pitch and anti-vertical three configurations by combining the different states of the three reversing valves, so that the vehicle suspension system has multiple active control modes. And the method of adjusting the pressure difference between the two accumulators by driving the actuator to adjust the movement of the oil cylinder piston rod to generate active control force is simple and efficient, and can realize active force control under each configuration at a low cost. However, this technical solution does not realize the on-off of the actuator, so the vehicle cannot realize passive control, semi-active control or active control according to the motion condition. At the same time, this technical solution lacks height control of the vehicle body and adjustment of the height of the front and rear axles of the vehicle.

[0014] Further, the semi-active control further comprises: S2, stiffness control The fifth on-off valve and the sixth on-off valve are opened and closed to control the opening and closing of the third accumulator and the fourth accumulator; When the fifth on-off valve and the sixth on-off valve are turned on, the first accumulator, the second accumulator, the third accumulator and the fourth accumulator are connected to the oil circuit, and the double-accumulator mode is used, at this time, the pressure of the oil circuit is smaller, and the force provided by the hydraulic system is smaller; When the fifth on-off valve and the sixth on-off valve are turned off, the first accumulator and the second accumulator are connected to the oil circuit, and the single-accumulator mode is used, at this time, the pressure of the oil circuit is larger, and the force provided by the hydraulic system is larger; The single-accumulator mode provides larger roll stiffness to the vehicle than the double-accumulator mode, and the roll angle of the vehicle body is smaller in the single-accumulator mode, so that the vehicle body is more stable, thereby realizing two-stage stiffness adjustment.
[0015] Further, the active control method comprises: S1, vehicle body lifting The oil circuit is in the anti-roll mode, and the first on-off valve, the second on-off valve, the third on-off valve, the fourth on-off valve, the fifth on-off valve, the sixth on-off valve and the seventh on-off valve are turned on; the first actuator controls the first piston rod to move left according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out of the first chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder and flows into the upper chamber of the first oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the second oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the third oil cylinder and the lower chamber of the fourth oil cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure of the first oil circuit; the second actuator controls the second piston rod to move right according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out of the second chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder and flows into the lower chamber of the first oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the second oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the third oil cylinder and the upper chamber of the fourth oil cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure of the second oil circuit; the oil flows out of the fifth accumulator and flows into the third chamber; at this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system is increased, the force of the oil cylinder acting on the vehicle body is increased, and the vehicle body is lifted; S2, vehicle body lowering The oil circuit is in the anti-roll mode, and the first on-off valve, the second on-off valve, the third on-off valve, the fourth on-off valve, the fifth on-off valve, the sixth on-off valve and the seventh on-off valve are turned on; the first actuator controls the first piston rod to move right according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out of the upper chamber of the first oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the second oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the third oil cylinder and the lower chamber of the fourth oil cylinder and flows into the first chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder, thereby reducing the pressure of the first oil circuit; the second actuator controls the second piston rod to move left according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out of the lower chamber of the first oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the second oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the third oil cylinder and the upper chamber of the fourth oil cylinder and flows into the second chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder, thereby reducing the pressure of the second oil circuit; the oil flows out of the third chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder and flows into the fifth accumulator; at this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system is reduced, the force of the oil cylinder acting on the vehicle body is reduced, and the overall vehicle body is lowered; S3, vehicle front axle height lifting The hydraulic circuit is in anti-roll mode, with the first, second, fifth, sixth, and seventh on / off valves open, and the third and fourth on / off valves closed. The first actuator controls the first piston rod to move left according to the controller signal, causing hydraulic fluid to flow from the first chamber of the regulating cylinder into the upper chamber of the first cylinder and the lower chamber of the second cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure in the first hydraulic circuit. The second actuator controls the second piston rod to move right according to the controller signal, causing hydraulic fluid to flow from the second chamber of the regulating cylinder into the lower chamber of the first cylinder and the upper chamber of the second cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure in the second hydraulic circuit. Hydraulic fluid from the fifth accumulator flows out and replenishes the third chamber. At this time, the hydraulic pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system increases, the force exerted by the cylinders on the vehicle body increases, and the height of the vehicle's front axle is raised. S4, Vehicle rear axle height increased The hydraulic circuit is in anti-roll mode, and the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh shut-off valves are open, while the first and second shut-off valves are closed. The first actuator controls the first piston rod to move to the left according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out from the first chamber of the regulating cylinder and into the upper chamber of the third cylinder and the lower chamber of the fourth cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure in the first hydraulic circuit. The second actuator controls the second piston rod to move to the right according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out from the second chamber of the regulating cylinder and into the lower chamber of the third cylinder and the upper chamber of the fourth cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure in the second hydraulic circuit. The oil from the fifth accumulator flows out and replenishes the third chamber. At this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system increases, the force exerted by the cylinder on the vehicle body increases, and the rear axle height of the vehicle is raised.
[0016] Furthermore, the active control method also includes: S5, Active Stiffness Control When the vehicle body tilts to the left, the first piston rod of the regulating cylinder is driven by the first actuator, moving to the left. The second piston rod is driven by the second actuator, causing the second piston rod to move to the left synchronously with the first piston rod. This keeps the volume of the third chamber of the regulating cylinder constant, allowing more oil in the first oil circuit to enter the first and third accumulators when tilting to the left, further increasing the oil pressure in the first oil circuit. However, since the oil in the first and second chambers of the regulating cylinder does not circulate, after the piston rod moves to the left, the second and fourth accumulators in the second oil circuit release more oil, filling the oil circuit and causing the oil pressure in the second oil circuit to further decrease when tilting to the left. When the vehicle body tilts to the right, the first piston rod of the adjusting cylinder is driven by the first actuator to move rightward, the second piston rod is driven by the second actuator to move rightward synchronously with the first piston rod, the volume of the third chamber of the adjusting cylinder remains unchanged, more oil in the first oil passage during right tilting enters the second accumulator and the fourth accumulator, and the oil pressure in the first oil passage during right tilting further increases; and because the oil in the first chamber and the second chamber of the adjusting cylinder does not flow into each other, after the piston rod moves rightward, the first accumulator and the third accumulator of the second oil passage during right tilting release more oil, the oil fills the oil passage, and the oil pressure in the second oil passage during right tilting further decreases; When the vehicle body tilts to the left or to the right, the active regulation of the adjusting cylinder causes the pressure difference between the upper chambers and the lower chambers of the four oil cylinders to further increase, so that a greater anti-roll moment is generated on the vehicle body, the anti-roll stiffness of the suspension is increased, and the roll angle of the vehicle body is reduced. The active regulation of the stiffness can also be regulated in the anti-pitch mode and the anti-vertical mode to achieve active control of the stiffness of the suspension.
[0017] Further, the active control method further comprises: S6, active regulation of the stiffness after height regulation The oil passage is in the anti-roll mode, and the first on-off valve, the second on-off valve, the third on-off valve, the fourth on-off valve, the fifth on-off valve, the sixth on-off valve and the seventh on-off valve are turned on. The first actuator controls the first piston rod to move leftward according to the signal of the controller, oil flows out of the first chamber of the adjusting cylinder and flows into the upper chamber of the first oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the second oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the third oil cylinder and the lower chamber of the fourth oil cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure of the first oil passage; the second actuator controls the second piston rod to move rightward according to the signal of the controller, oil flows out of the second chamber of the adjusting cylinder and flows into the lower chamber of the first oil cylinder, the upper chamber of the second oil cylinder, the lower chamber of the third oil cylinder and the upper chamber of the fourth oil cylinder, thereby increasing the pressure of the second oil passage; and oil flows out of the fifth accumulator and is supplemented to the third chamber; at this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system increases, the force of the oil cylinder acting on the vehicle body increases, and the vehicle body is lifted. Then the first piston rod of the adjusting oil cylinder is driven by the first actuator to move left, the second piston rod is driven by the second actuator to move left synchronously with the first piston rod, the volume of the third chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder is kept unchanged, more oil in the first oil path enters the first accumulator and the third accumulator, and the oil pressure of the first oil path is further increased; and since the oil in the first chamber and the second chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder is not communicated, after the piston rod moves left, the second accumulator and the fourth accumulator of the second oil path release more oil, so that the oil fills the oil path, the oil pressure of the second oil path is further reduced, and the pressure difference between the upper chamber and the lower chamber of the four oil cylinders is further increased, so that a greater anti-roll moment is generated on the vehicle body, the anti-roll stiffness of the suspension is increased, and the roll angle of the vehicle body is reduced; the stiffness active control can also be controlled when the vehicle body is lowered, so that the stiffness of the suspension is actively controlled after the height is controlled.
[0018] The beneficial effects of the present application are: 1. By combining the information of various sensors of the vehicle to intelligently control the control valve group, the passive control mode, the semi-active control mode and the active control mode can be realized, so that the control mode can be autonomously selected according to the driving condition requirements of the vehicle, and at the same time, the multi-stage control of stiffness and damping can be realized according to the vehicle pose, so that good autonomous control mode and driving comfort are realized.
[0019] 2. The suspension system in the passive control state is applicable to basic suspension requirements, has a simple structure and low cost, but cannot actively adjust the stiffness and damping, and is applicable to good road conditions and does not require high suspension performance; the suspension system in the semi-active control state can adjust the damping force to a certain extent, has a fast response speed, and has moderate cost, and is applicable to a certain suspension adjustment capability, but does not require complete active control, for example, in a slightly bumpy road or a scene with a certain requirement for suspension response speed; the suspension system in the active control state can adjust the stiffness and damping of the suspension according to real-time input, provide optimal ride comfort and handling stability, but has high cost and large energy consumption, and is applicable to high suspension performance requirements, such as high-speed driving, intense driving or extreme road conditions.
[0020] 3. The adjusting oil cylinder structure disclosed by the present application has the characteristics of pressure regulation of different chambers, and in combination with the control mode of the intelligent hydraulic interconnected suspension system, the vehicle can realize anti-roll, anti-pitch, anti-vertical, multi-rigidity adjustment, stepless damping adjustment, vehicle body lifting, vehicle front and rear axle height adjustment functions, and the introduction of the adjusting oil cylinder enables the various control modes to have active regulation functions of height, stiffness and damping, and better driving adaptability and operation stability are realized.

[0047] Embodiment 4
[0048] Working principle of the adjusting oil cylinder 21
[0049] The adjusting oil cylinder 21 is filled with oil and is divided into three chambers by the left and right first piston rod and the second piston rod, wherein the left chamber is the first chamber, the right chamber is the second chamber, and the middle chamber is the third chamber, and the third chamber is connected with the fifth accumulator 20 through a hydraulic pipeline. The first actuator 22 is a servo motor, which is connected with the first piston rod of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 through a ball screw mechanism and drives the first piston rod to move linearly. The second actuator 23 is a servo motor, which is connected with the second piston rod of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 through a ball screw mechanism and drives the second piston rod to move linearly.
[0050] The first actuator 22 can control the left and right movement of the first piston rod according to the signal of the controller, thereby controlling the inflow and outflow of oil in the first chamber. The second actuator 23 can control the left and right movement of the second piston rod according to the signal of the controller, thereby controlling the inflow and outflow of oil in the second chamber. It should be noted that the first piston rod and the second piston rod move independently left and right when controlling the height of the vehicle body; and when actively controlling the suspension stiffness, the first actuator 22 and the second actuator 23 control the first piston rod and the second piston rod to move left and right synchronously, respectively, to realize synchronous left movement or synchronous right movement of the first piston rod and the second piston rod. When adjusting the height of the vehicle body, the first actuator 22 controls the first piston rod to move left according to the signal of the controller, and the oil flows out of the first chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 and flows into the upper chamber of the first oil cylinder 1, the lower chamber of the second oil cylinder 2, the upper chamber of the third oil cylinder 3 and the lower chamber of the fourth oil cylinder 4, thereby increasing the first oil passage pressure; the second actuator 23 controls the second piston rod to move right according to the signal of the controller, and the oil flows out of the second chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 and flows into the lower chamber of the first oil cylinder 1, the upper chamber of the second oil cylinder 2, the lower chamber of the third oil cylinder 3 and the upper chamber of the fourth oil cylinder 4, thereby increasing the second oil passage pressure; the oil of the fifth accumulator 20 flows out and is supplemented to the third chamber; at this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system is increased, the force of the oil cylinder acting on the vehicle body is increased, and the vehicle body is raised. At this time, the first piston rod and the second piston rod can move independently left and right.
[0051] When actively controlling the stiffness, when the vehicle body tilts to the left, the first piston rod of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 is driven by the first actuator 22, the first piston rod moves left, the second piston rod is driven by the second actuator 23, so that the second piston rod moves left synchronously with the first piston rod, the volume of the third chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 remains unchanged, more oil in the first oil passage during left tilting enters the first accumulator 16 and the third accumulator 18, and the oil pressure of the first oil passage will further increase according to the working principle of the accumulator; and because the oil in the first chamber and the second chamber of the adjusting oil cylinder 21 does not flow into each other, after the piston rod moves left, the second accumulator 17 and the fourth accumulator 19 of the second oil passage will release more oil, so that the oil fills the oil passage, the oil pressure of the second oil passage will further decrease, thereby causing the pressure difference between the upper and lower chambers of the four oil cylinders to further increase, so that a greater anti-roll torque is generated on the vehicle body, the anti-roll stiffness of the suspension is increased, and the roll angle of the vehicle body is reduced. During this process, the first piston rod and the second piston rod move synchronously under the synchronous control of the first actuator 22 and the second actuator 23, respectively.

The second piston rod is driven by the second actuator (23), so that the second piston rod moves to the left in sync with the first piston rod, keeping the volume of the third chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) unchanged. This allows more oil in the first oil circuit to enter the first accumulator (16) and the third accumulator (18) when the vehicle body tilts to the left, and the oil pressure in the first oil circuit will increase further when the vehicle body tilts to the left.

Since the oil in the first chamber and the second chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) does not flow between each other, after the piston rod moves to the right, the first accumulator (16) and the third accumulator (18) of the second oil circuit release more oil when the vehicle body tilts to the right, so that the oil circuit is filled with oil, and the oil pressure in the second oil circuit will decrease further when the vehicle body tilts to the right.

Active stiffness adjustment can also be performed in anti-pitch and anti-vertical modes to achieve active control of suspension stiffness.

The control method for an intelligent hydraulic interconnected suspension system according to claim 8, characterized in that, The active control method further includes: S6, Active stiffness control after height adjustment The oil circuit is in anti-tilt mode, and the first shut-off valve (9), the second shut-off valve (10), the third shut-off valve (11), the fourth shut-off valve (12), the fifth shut-off valve (13), the sixth shut-off valve (14) and the seventh shut-off valve (15) are open; The first actuator (22) controls the first piston rod to move to the left according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out from the first chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) and into the upper chamber of the first cylinder (1), the lower chamber of the second cylinder (2), the upper chamber of the third cylinder (3) and the lower chamber of the fourth cylinder (4), thereby increasing the pressure of the first oil circuit; the second actuator (23) controls the second piston rod to move to the right according to the controller signal, and the oil flows out from the second chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) and into the lower chamber of the first cylinder (1), the upper chamber of the second cylinder (2), the lower chamber of the third cylinder (3) and the upper chamber of the fourth cylinder (4), thereby increasing the pressure of the second oil circuit; the oil from the fifth accumulator (20) flows out and replenishes the third chamber; at this time, the oil pressure in the hydraulic interconnected suspension system increases, the force of the cylinder on the vehicle body increases, and the vehicle body rises; Then, the first piston rod of the regulating cylinder (21) is driven by the first actuator (22), and the first piston rod moves to the left. The second piston rod is driven by the second actuator (23), so that the second piston rod moves to the left synchronously with the first piston rod, keeping the volume of the third chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) unchanged, so that more oil in the first oil circuit enters the first accumulator (16) and the third accumulator (18), and the oil pressure of the first oil circuit will further increase. Since the oil in the first chamber and the second chamber of the regulating cylinder (21) does not flow between each other, after the piston rod moves to the left, the second accumulator (17) and the fourth accumulator (19) of the second oil circuit will release more oil, so that the oil fills the oil circuit, and the oil pressure of the second oil circuit will further decrease, thereby increasing the pressure difference between the upper and lower chambers of the four cylinders, which generates a larger anti-roll moment on the body, increases the anti-roll stiffness of the suspension, and reduces the body roll angle. The active stiffness control can also be adjusted when the body is lowered, realizing the active stiffness control of the suspension after height adjustment.
