Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present disclosure relates to an anti-roll wheel suspension system for a vehicle, comprising a first suspension spring and a first damper arranged to be connected to a first wheel, and a second suspension spring and a second damper arranged to be connected to a second wheel. The present disclosure also relates to a vehicle comprising the anti-roll wheel suspension system, and a method for preventing a vehicle from rolling by the anti-roll wheel suspension system. Background Art
[0002] Modern vehicles are often equipped with structural elements that prevent unwanted vehicle movements, such as, for example, vehicle body roll under certain driving conditions. Such a structural element may be, for example, a conventional anti-roll bar, which transfers suspension stiffness from one side of the vehicle to the opposite side. This will reduce the tilt or roll of the vehicle when turning sharply. Vehicle body roll is related to the load transfer of the vehicle to the outside of the turn. Vehicles are often equipped with a suspension system that keeps the wheels of the vehicle in contact with the road and provides grip for the vehicle driver to control the direction of the vehicle. The suspension enables the vehicle body, which is located on the suspension, to tilt in the direction of the perceived forces acting on the car. An anti-roll bar is a part of the vehicle suspension system that is specifically designed to address the problem of body roll. However, if the wheels of the vehicle hit a road hump, for example on one vehicle side, a conventional anti-roll bar will also transfer stiffness to the other side, thereby reducing the comfort of the vehicle. Therefore, conventional anti-roll bars are a compromise between cornering comfort and handling of single-sided road bumps.
[0003] Therefore, there is a need for an improved anti-roll wheel suspension system for a vehicle, wherein suspension stiffness is prevented from being transferred from one side of the vehicle to the other if the vehicle strikes a road hump, and wherein the system effectively prevents the vehicle body from rolling. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present disclosure is to provide an anti-roll wheel suspension system for a vehicle, a vehicle comprising an anti-roll wheel suspension system, and a method for preventing a vehicle from rolling by means of an anti-roll wheel suspension system, wherein the above-mentioned problems are avoided. This object is achieved at least in part by the features of the independent claims. The dependent claims also have improvements to the anti-roll wheel suspension system for a vehicle and to the method for preventing a vehicle from rolling by means of an anti-roll wheel suspension system.
[0005] The present disclosure relates to an anti-roll wheel suspension system for a vehicle, comprising a first suspension spring and a first damper arranged to be connected to a first wheel, and a second suspension spring and a second damper arranged to be connected to a second wheel. The system also includes a middle portion, which is operatively connected to the first suspension spring and the first damper, and operatively connected to the second suspension spring and the second damper. The middle portion is arranged between the first suspension spring and the second suspension spring, and between the first damper and the second damper. The middle portion is arranged to be movable in a lateral direction. The middle portion is configured to affect the stiffness of the first suspension spring and / or the second suspension spring when it is moved in a lateral direction by actuation from the first wheel and / or the second wheel.
[0006] An advantage of having these features is that undesired vehicle movement is prevented by the anti-roll wheel suspension system. By configuring the system with suspension springs, dampers and a movable middle section, the vehicle body roll is effectively prevented and if the vehicle hits a road bump, for example, on one side of the vehicle, undesired transfer of stiffness to the opposite side of the vehicle is prevented. Furthermore, when actuated from the first wheel and / or the second wheel, the middle section moves in a lateral direction to influence the stiffness of the first suspension spring and / or the second suspension spring so that the ride of the vehicle is more comfortable.
[0007] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, a first suspension spring and a first damper are arranged to be connected to a first wheel through a first lever and a first suspension arm, and a second suspension spring and a second damper are arranged to be connected to a second wheel through a second lever and a second suspension arm. The first suspension arm is connected to the first wheel and the first lever and extends between the first wheel and the first lever, and the second suspension arm is connected to the second wheel and the second lever and extends between the second wheel and the second lever. The first damper and the first suspension spring are connected to the first lever and the middle part and extend between the first lever and the middle part, and the second damper and the second suspension spring are connected to the second lever and the middle part and extend between the second lever and the middle part. The first lever and the first suspension arm are configured to interact with each other, and the second lever and the second suspension arm are configured to interact with each other. When the first lever is actuated by the first wheel and the first suspension arm, the first lever rotates around the first axis, and when the second lever is actuated by the second wheel and the second suspension arm, the second lever rotates around the second axis. The corresponding levers and suspension arms cooperate to prevent roll and improve vehicle comfort by interacting with other parts of the suspension system. The damper and suspension spring are connected to the lever to establish the function of the system, wherein the damper can be used to suppress the rotational movement of the lever. Rolling can be effectively prevented by suppressing the rotational movement of the lever, and mainly by the change in spring stiffness associated with the rotational movement of the lever.
[0008] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the middle portion is arranged to be slidably connected to at least one elongated guide rod extending in a transverse direction. When the first lever and / or the second lever are actuated, the middle portion is configured to slide along the at least one guide rod in the transverse direction, and the middle portion is configured to affect the stiffness of the first suspension spring and / or the second suspension spring when sliding in the transverse direction. When the first lever is actuated, the first damper and the first suspension spring are configured to offset the rotational movement of the first lever around the first axis, and when the second lever is actuated, the second damper and the second suspension spring are configured to offset the rotational movement of the second lever around the second axis. The sliding movement of the middle portion in the transverse direction affects the stiffness of the suspension spring and offsets the rotational movement of the lever, which in turn minimizes the roll of the vehicle.
[0009] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the system further includes a middle damper, wherein the middle damper is configured to dampen movement of the middle portion in a lateral direction. Damping the middle portion also improves the comfort of the vehicle.

The first wire portion is connected to the first lever and the wire portion limiting unit and extends between the first lever and the wire portion limiting unit, and the second wire portion is connected to the second lever and the wire portion limiting unit and extends between the second lever and the wire portion limiting unit. When the first lever is actuated, the first wire portion is arranged to limit the rotational movement of the first lever, and when the second lever is actuated, the second wire portion is arranged to limit the rotational movement of the second lever. When the first lever is actuated, the wire portion limiting unit is configured to suppress the movement of the first wire portion, and when the second lever is actuated, the wire portion limiting unit is configured to suppress and / or limit the movement of the second wire portion. The wire portion also counteracts the rotational movement of the lever in one direction, wherein the directions may be opposite for the two levers.
[0011] According to one aspect of the present disclosure, the line portion restriction unit includes: a piston arranged to be movable relative to the middle portion in a longitudinal direction; a secondary damper; and a secondary suspension spring. The first line portion and the second line portion are connected to the piston, and the secondary damper and the secondary suspension spring are arranged to inhibit and / or restrict the movement of the piston in the longitudinal direction.

[0012] According to yet another aspect of the present disclosure, the line limiting unit further comprises a spring-loaded locking pin, wherein the spring-loaded locking pin is arranged to block the movement of the piston when a lateral force above a predetermined force level acts on the system in a lateral direction. The locking pin is used to prevent the restraining function of the line when high lateral forces act on the system, which is desirable when, for example, the vehicle is turning sharply to effectively prevent the body from rolling, as the locking pin will cause the middle section to move in a lateral direction. By blocking the movement of the piston, the corresponding line effectively limits the movement of the corresponding lever. The movement of the middle section will also affect the movement of the lever.
[0013] According to another aspect of the present disclosure, the locking pin includes a first locking surface and a second locking surface, and the middle portion includes a first recess and a second recess. The first locking surface is arranged to engage the first recess when a lateral force acts in a first direction, and the second locking surface is arranged to engage the second recess when a lateral force acts in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other. The locking surfaces and the cooperating recesses effectively prevent movement of the piston.

The method includes the following steps: when actuated from the first wheel and / or the second wheel, the middle portion is moved in a lateral direction, wherein the middle portion affects the stiffness of the first suspension spring and / or the second suspension spring when moving.
[0021] An advantage of these features is that undesired vehicle movement is prevented by the method. By configuring the system with suspension springs, dampers and a movable middle section, vehicle body roll is effectively prevented and if the vehicle hits a road bump, for example, on one side of the vehicle, undesired transfer of stiffness to the opposite side of the vehicle is prevented. As described above, moving the middle section in a lateral direction when actuated from the first and / or second wheels to influence the stiffness of the first and / or second suspension springs makes the vehicle ride more comfortable.

When high lateral forces act on the system, the inhibition function of the wire portion is prevented, which is desirable, for example, when the vehicle is turning sharply, in order to effectively prevent the body from rolling. When driving without high lateral forces, for example, if the wheels of the vehicle hit a bump on the road, the wire portion can be inhibited. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

When the first lever 2a is actuated, the first damper 6a and the first suspension spring 7a counteract the rotational movement of the first lever 2a around the first axis A1 by means of a spring and damper configuration. When the second lever 2b is actuated, the second damper 6b and the second suspension spring 7b counteract the rotational movement of the second lever 2b around the second axis A2 by means of a spring and damper configuration. The counteracting movement prevents the rolling tendency of the vehicle by stiffening the corresponding suspension spring, and the corresponding damper suppresses the movement of the involved components.
[0046] By the construction of the described system 1, when the first lever 2a is actuated, the rotational movement of the first lever 2a around the first axis A1 is offset by the first damper 6a and the first suspension spring 7a, and when the second lever 2b is actuated, the rotational movement of the second lever 2b around the second axis A2 is offset by the second damper 6b and the second suspension spring 7b.
[0047] The system 1 also includes a middle damper 9, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 The middle damper 9 is configured to suppress the middle portion 5 from moving in the lateral direction D T The middle damper 9 may have a configuration in which it dampens the rapid impact movement of the middle portion 5, preventing any greater movement of the middle portion 5, for example, when the vehicle is traveling on a road and hits a road bump. The middle damper 9 is configured to dampen the movement of the middle portion 5 when a rapidly progressive force sequence is acting on the system 1. The middle damper 9 may also have a configuration in which it allows the movement of the middle portion 5 when the forces acting on the system are not rapidly progressive. This may be the case, for example, when the vehicle is moving through a bend or when the vehicle is turning. The forces acting on the vehicle are built up more slowly in the system 1 with a slowly progressive force sequence. The middle damper 9 may have other suitable configurations if desired. Thus, the middle damper 9 is used to prevent or limit the movement of the middle portion 5 when rapid impact forces act on the system 1, and to allow the movement of the middle portion 5 when slower impact forces act on the system 1. The middle damper 9 may have any suitable configuration and design.
[0048] The system 1 further comprises a first wire portion 10a, a second wire portion 10b and a wire portion limiting unit 11, such as Figure 1 Figure 2 and Figure 5As shown. The wire restriction unit 11 is attached to the middle portion 5. The first wire portion 10a is connected to the second lever end 21b of the first lever 2a and the wire restriction unit 11, and extends between the second lever end 21b of the first lever 2a and the wire restriction unit 11. The second wire portion 10b is connected to the second lever end 22b of the second lever 2b and the wire restriction unit 11, and extends between the second lever end 22b of the second lever 2b and the wire restriction unit 11. When the first lever 2a is actuated, the first wire portion 10a is arranged to restrict the first lever 2a from rotating in the first rotation direction D R1 The wire portion restriction unit 11 is configured to inhibit and restrict the movement of the first wire portion 10a. Therefore, when the first lever 2a is actuated in the first rotation direction D R1 When rotating in the first pivot point about the first axis A1, the second lever end 21b of the first lever 2a moves in a direction away from the middle portion 5. During this movement, the first wire portion 10a is stretched, and the wire portion limiting unit 11 inhibits and limits the movement of the first wire portion 10a. When the second lever 2b is actuated, the second wire portion 10b is arranged to limit the second lever 2b from rotating in the second rotation direction D R2 The wire portion restriction unit 11 is configured to inhibit and restrict the movement of the second wire portion 10b. Therefore, when the second lever 2b is actuated in the second rotation direction D R2 When rotating in the second pivot point about the second axis A2, the second lever end 22b of the second lever 2b moves in a direction away from the middle portion 5. During this movement, the second wire portion 10b is stretched and the wire portion limiting unit 11 inhibits the movement of the second wire portion 10b. The wire portion can be made of any suitable material, such as steel, polymer or composite fiber material. If the system is not affected by a lateral force greater than a predetermined force level, the wire portion movement is inhibited, as will be further explained below.
[0049] By the configuration of the described system 1, when the first lever 2a is actuated, the rotational movement of the first lever 2a is limited by the first wire portion 10a, and when the second lever 2b is actuated, the rotational movement of the second lever 2b is limited by the second wire portion 10b. When the first lever 2a is actuated, the wire portion limiting unit 11 suppresses the movement of the first wire portion 10a, and when the second lever 2b is actuated, the wire portion limiting unit 11 suppresses the movement of the second wire portion 10b.
[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the line limiting unit 11 includes a piston 12, which is arranged to be movable relative to the middle portion 5 along the longitudinal direction D Lmovement; a secondary damper 13; and a secondary suspension spring 14. The secondary damper 13 is arranged inside the secondary suspension spring 14 to form a damper assembly. The damper assembly is connected to the middle part 5 at a first end and to the movable piston 12 at a second end. The middle part 5 may have a tubular section, which forms a housing structure for the piston 12, the secondary damper 13 and the secondary suspension spring 14, wherein the piston 12 is movably arranged in the housing structure. In this way, the line restriction unit 11 is arranged inside the middle part 5. The secondary damper 13 and the secondary suspension spring 14 may have any suitable configuration.
[0051] The first wire portion 10a and the second wire portion 10b are connected to the piston 12. The secondary damper 13 and the secondary suspension spring 14 are arranged to inhibit the piston 12 from moving in the longitudinal direction D L Therefore, when the first wire portion 10a is stretched and / or the second wire portion 10b is stretched, the wire portion is connected to the piston 12 so that the suppression unit 11 can suppress the movement of the wire portion.
[0052] The wire restriction unit 11 further comprises a locking pin 15 loaded by a spring. Figure 5 The spring-loaded locking pin 15 is arranged to lock in the transverse direction D when a lateral force above a predetermined level is applied. T When acting on the system 1, movement of the piston 12 is prevented. For example, when the vehicle is turning, lateral forces may act on the system 1. Therefore, when the vehicle is driving forward in a straight direction without turning, or when the vehicle is driving forward in a straight direction and the first wheel 4a and / or the second wheel 4b hits a bump on the road, the locking pin 15 does not prevent movement of the piston 12. In addition, the predetermined force level can be selected to allow small lateral forces to act on the system 1, such as, for example, when the vehicle is driving through a long bend. When the vehicle is driving on a tighter bend, the lateral forces affecting the vehicle are higher, and the system can be calibrated to prevent movement of the piston 12 for such tighter bends. When movement of the piston 12 above the predetermined force level is prevented by the locking pin 15, the secondary damper 13 and the secondary suspension spring 14 prevent the piston 12 from moving in the longitudinal direction D L movement.
[0053] By the configuration of the system 1 described, the line limiting unit 11 is arranged such that when a lateral force equal to or below a predetermined force level is applied in the transverse direction D T When acting on the system 1, upon actuation of the first lever 2a, the movement of the first wire portion 10a is inhibited by the wire portion restriction unit 11. When a lateral force above a predetermined force level is applied in the transverse direction D T The wire restriction unit 11 is also prevented from inhibiting the movement of the first wire portion 10a when acting on the system 1. The wire restriction unit 11 is also arranged to prevent the movement of the first wire portion 10a when a lateral force equal to or below a predetermined force level is applied in the transverse direction D TWhen acting on the system 1, upon actuation of the second lever 2b, the movement of the second wire portion 10b is inhibited by the wire portion limiting unit 11. When a lateral force above a predetermined force level is applied in the transverse direction D T When acting on the system 1 , the wire restriction unit 11 is also prevented from inhibiting the movement of the second wire portion 10 b .
[0054] like Figure 5 As shown, the locking pin 15 comprises a first locking surface 16a and a second locking surface 16b. The middle part 5 comprises a first recess 17a and a second recess 17b. The first locking surface 16a is arranged to engage the first recess 17a when a lateral force above a predetermined force level acts in a first direction, and the second locking surface 16b is arranged to engage the second recess 17b when a lateral force above a predetermined force level acts in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are opposite to each other in a transverse direction. The locking pin is, for example, slidably arranged in the piston 12 and can move in the first direction or the second direction to engage in locking engagement with the corresponding recess when a lateral force above a predetermined force level acts.
[0055] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the wire portion limiting unit 11 may further include a first guide wheel 18a and a second guide wheel 18b, which are arranged to be connected to the housing structure of the middle portion 5. The first guide wheel 18a is arranged to guide the movement of the first wire portion 10a to the piston 12, and the second guide wheel 18b is arranged to guide the movement of the second wire portion 10b to the piston 12.
[0056] In the first exemplary driving scenario, the vehicle is traveling forward in a straight direction, and a lateral force below a predetermined force level is generated in a lateral direction D T Acting on the system 1. In this scenario, the locking pin 15 is not locked to engage the locking surface and the piston 12 is able to move relative to the middle part 5 to inhibit the movement of the first wire part and the second wire part. If the first wheel 4a on the left hand side of the vehicle hits a road bump, the first wheel 4a is pushed in an upward direction. When the first wheel 4a is pushed upward, the first suspension arm 3a rotates about the third axis A3 and, by engaging with the first lever 2a, the first lever 2a rotates in the first rotation direction D about the first axis A1. R1 Rotate. Figure 2 In the configuration shown, the first rotation direction D R1 In the clockwise direction, the first lever 2a rotates in the first rotation direction D around the first axis A1. R1During the rotational movement of the first lever end 21a, the first lever end 21a moves in a direction toward the middle part 5 and the second lever end 21b moves in a direction away from the middle part 5. The first lever end 21a affects the first lever damper 6a and the first suspension spring 7a, wherein the first suspension spring 7a is compressed and the first lever damper 6a dampens the movement of the first lever 2a relative to the middle part 5. By the compression of the first suspension spring 7a, the first suspension spring pushes the middle part 5 in a direction toward the right side of the vehicle. However, due to the road bump acting on the system 1 with a rapid force change, the middle part damper 9 dampens and prevents the movement of the middle part 5 along the guide rod 8. Therefore, the rotational movement of the first lever 2a is offset by the spring force of the first suspension spring 7a and the damping function of the first lever damper 6a, which prevents the roll of the vehicle. At the same time, during the rotational movement of the first lever 2a in the first rotational direction D around the first axis A1, the first lever 2a is subjected to a compression. R1 During the rotational movement of the second lever end 21a, the first wire portion 10a is stretched. The movement of the stretched first wire portion 10a is suppressed by the wire portion suppression unit 11, and the rotational movement of the first lever 2a is also offset by the first wire portion 10a and the wire portion restriction unit 11, which prevents the vehicle from rolling. As understood by those skilled in the art, if instead the second wheel 4b on the right-hand side of the vehicle hits the road bump, the system works with the same anti-roll function.
[0057] In the second exemplary driving scenario, the vehicle is traveling along a curve, and a lateral force higher than a predetermined force level is applied in the lateral direction D T Acting on the system 1. In this scenario, the locking pin 15 locks the engagement locking surface and prevents the piston 12 from moving relative to the middle portion 5. Therefore, the line portion restriction unit 11 does not inhibit the movement of the first line portion and the second line portion, and the line portion is directly connected to the middle portion 5 without an inhibition function. If the vehicle is traveling on a curve turning to the right, the first wheel 4a on the left side of the vehicle is pushed in an upward direction relative to the vehicle due to the force acting on the vehicle. When the first wheel 4a is pushed upward, the first cantilever 3a rotates around the third axis A3, and by engaging with the first lever 2a, the first lever 2a rotates around the first axis A1 in the first rotation direction D R1 Rotate. Figure 2 In the configuration shown, the first rotation direction D R1 The first lever 2a rotates in the first direction D around the first axis A1. R1During the rotational movement of the first lever end 21a, the first lever end 21a moves in the direction towards the middle part 5, while the second lever end 21b moves in the direction away from the middle part. The first lever end 21a affects the first lever damper 6a and the first suspension spring 7a, wherein the first suspension spring 7a is compressed and the first lever damper 6a dampens the movement of the first lever 2a relative to the middle part 5 to a certain extent. By the compression of the first suspension spring 7a, the first suspension spring pushes the middle part 5 in the direction towards the right-hand side of the vehicle. The forces acting on the vehicle during turning along the curve slowly build up in the system 1 in a slowly progressive force sequence, so that the middle damper 9 does not dampen and prevent the movement of the middle part 5 along the guide rod 8. The rotational movement of the first lever 2a is to push the middle part 5 along the guide rod 8 in the direction towards the right side of the vehicle by the spring force of the first suspension spring 7a. At the same time, the first lever 2a is moved about the first axis A1 in the first rotational direction D R1 During the rotational movement of the first lever arm 2a, the second lever end 21b stretches the first wire portion 10a. The stretching of the first wire portion 10a counteracts the movement of the middle portion 5 along the guide rod 8 in one direction because the first wire portion 10a is connected to the middle portion 5 by the locking engagement of the locking pin without a suppressing function. The middle portion 5 prevents the vehicle from rolling by the offsetting movement of the first wire portion 10a. In addition, during the sequence, the first lever damper 6a suppresses the rotational movement of the first lever 2a, which also offsets the rotational movement of the first lever arm 2a to a certain extent and prevents the vehicle from rolling. The stretching of the first wire portion 10a causes the middle portion 5 to move in the direction toward the first lever because the slack in the second wire portion 10b on the opposite side of the middle portion 5 allows the middle portion 5 to move. In this scenario, the system components cooperate to prevent the vehicle from rolling. As understood by those skilled in the art, if the vehicle is alternatively traveling through a curve that turns left, the system works with the same anti-roll function.
