[0053] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0054] It is understood that the terms "first", "second", etc. used in this application can be used in this article to describe various professional terms, but unless otherwise specified, these professional terms are not limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one professional term from another professional term. For example, without departing from the scope of this application, the third preset threshold and the fourth preset threshold can be the same or different.

[0055] In one embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a control method for the main suspension clearance adjuster of a commercial vehicle is provided. This embodiment uses the method applied to a terminal as an example, wherein the terminal may be, but is not limited to, various personal computers, laptops, smart phones, tablet computers, Internet of Things devices, and portable wearable devices. The Internet of Things devices may be smart vehicle-mounted devices, etc. It is understandable that the method may also be applied to a server, and may also be applied to a system including a terminal and a server, and may be implemented through the interaction between the terminal and the server. In this embodiment, the method includes the following steps:

[0056] 101. When the vehicle is in motion, obtain the gas pressure in the lash adjuster, the lash adjuster being installed between the main vehicle and the trailer of the vehicle;

[0057] 102. Determine whether the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is greater than a first preset gas pressure, and whether the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is less than a second preset gas pressure, the first preset gas pressure being greater than the second preset gas pressure;

[0058] 103. If the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster at the current moment is greater than the first preset gas pressure, then from the current moment on, the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is controlled to decrease until the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is no greater than the first preset gas pressure;

[0059] 104. If the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is less than the second preset gas pressure at the current moment, the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is controlled to increase from the current moment until the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is not less than the second preset gas pressure.

[0060] In the above step 101, the gap adjuster is as follows Figure 2 As shown, the clearance adjuster is used to adjust the relative movement between the vehicle main vehicle and the trailer; when in a non-working state, the gas in the clearance adjuster is discharged; when in a working state, the clearance adjuster contains an appropriate amount of gas, and the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster increases.

[0061] Specifically, when the vehicle is driving, the vehicle controller obtains the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster in real time, and compares the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster obtained at each moment with the first preset gas pressure and the second preset gas pressure respectively; when the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is greater than the first preset gas pressure at any moment, the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is controlled to decrease with the corresponding moment as the starting moment, until the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is no greater than the first preset gas pressure, and the operation of controlling the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster to decrease is stopped.

[0062] When the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is less than the second preset gas pressure at any time, the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is controlled to increase with the corresponding time as the starting time until the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is no greater than the first preset gas pressure, and then the operation of controlling the gas pressure in the lash adjuster to increase is stopped.

[0063] The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can determine whether the gas pressure in the lash adjuster needs to be adjusted by obtaining the gas pressure in the lash adjuster in real time, thereby maintaining the gas pressure in the lash adjuster within a stable pressure range, thereby improving the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0064] In combination with the contents of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, a pressure sensor is installed in the clearance adjuster; accordingly, obtaining the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster includes:

[0065] determining a voltage signal transmitted by a pressure sensor within a lash adjuster;

[0066] Obtain a voltage and pressure relationship table of the pressure sensor;

[0067] The gas pressure in the lash adjuster is determined based on the voltage signal and the voltage-pressure relationship table.

[0068] The pressure sensor refers to a gas pressure sensor. The voltage-pressure relationship table is stored in the vehicle's memory. Specifically, the pressure sensor is connected to the vehicle controller, and the pressure sensor transmits a real-time voltage signal to the vehicle controller. The vehicle controller can determine the real-time gas pressure in the clearance adjuster based on the real-time received voltage signal and by querying the voltage-pressure relationship table.

[0069] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can obtain the real-time gas pressure in the clearance adjuster through the pressure sensor installed in the clearance adjuster, so as to determine the state of the gas in the clearance adjuster in real time and adjust the gas in the clearance adjuster in time.

[0070] In combination with the contents of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, a pressure limiting valve switch and a pressure limiting valve are provided in the vehicle, and the clearance adjuster is connected to the atmospheric pressure environment through the pressure limiting valve; controlling the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster to decrease includes:

[0071] Obtaining a pressure limiting valve opening signal triggered by the pressure limiting valve switch, and controlling the pressure limiting valve to open according to the pressure limiting valve opening signal;

[0072] The gas in the lash adjuster is discharged into the atmospheric pressure environment through the pressure limiting valve, so that the lash adjuster gas pressure is reduced.

[0073] The pressure limiting valve switch is installed in the cab, and the pressure limiting valve switch can be controlled by the driver or by the vehicle controller. For example, when the vehicle controller determines that the pressure limiting valve needs to be opened, the pressure limiting valve can be controlled to open by controlling the pressure limiting valve switch; or when the driver determines that the pressure limiting valve needs to be opened, the pressure limiting valve switch can be manually operated to open the pressure limiting valve.

[0074] Specifically, when the pressure limiting valve receives a pressure limiting valve opening signal, the pressure limiting valve opens. At this time, the gas in the clearance adjuster is discharged into the atmosphere through the pressure limiting valve until the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is no greater than the first preset gas pressure. Then, the pressure limiting valve switch is controlled to trigger a pressure limiting valve closing signal. Through the pressure limiting valve closing signal, the pressure limiting valve is controlled to close.

[0075] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can discharge the gas in the lash adjuster into the atmospheric pressure environment by controlling the opening of the pressure limiting valve, thereby reducing the gas pressure in the lash adjuster, thereby allowing the vehicle to drive safely.

[0076] In combination with the contents of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, a solenoid valve switch, a solenoid valve and an air reservoir are provided in the vehicle, and the solenoid valve is connected to the clearance adjuster and the air reservoir respectively; controlling the clearance adjuster gas pressure to increase includes:

[0077] Acquire a solenoid valve opening signal triggered by a solenoid valve switch, and control the solenoid valve to open according to the solenoid valve opening signal;

[0078] The gas in the gas reservoir is discharged into the lash adjuster through the solenoid valve, so that the lash adjuster gas pressure increases.

[0079] The solenoid valve switch is installed in the cab, and the solenoid valve switch can be controlled by the driver or by the vehicle controller. For example, when the vehicle controller determines that the solenoid valve needs to be opened, the solenoid valve can be controlled to open by controlling the solenoid valve switch; or when the driver determines that the solenoid valve needs to be opened, the solenoid valve switch can be manually operated to open the solenoid valve.

[0080] Specifically, when the solenoid valve receives the solenoid valve opening signal, the solenoid valve opens. At this time, the gas in the gas cylinder is discharged into the clearance adjuster through the solenoid valve until the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is not less than the second preset gas pressure. Then, the solenoid valve switch is controlled to trigger the solenoid valve closing signal, and the solenoid valve is controlled to close through the solenoid valve closing signal.

[0081] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can discharge the gas in the gas reservoir into the lash adjuster by controlling the opening of the solenoid valve, thereby increasing the gas pressure in the lash adjuster, thereby allowing the vehicle to drive safely.

[0082] In combination with the contents of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, the vehicle is equipped with a vehicle controller; from the current moment, before the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is controlled to increase, the steps include:

[0083] Obtain the gas pressure in the gas tank;

[0084] Determine whether the gas pressure in the gas reservoir is less than the gas pressure in the lash adjuster at the current moment. If so, obtain a solenoid valve prohibition opening signal through the vehicle controller;

[0085] According to the solenoid valve opening prohibition signal, the solenoid valve is prohibited from opening.

[0086] Specifically, if the gas pressure in the gas reservoir is lower than the gas pressure in the lash adjuster at the current moment, the gas reservoir should be prohibited from discharging gas into the lash adjuster, and the solenoid valve should be prohibited from opening through the solenoid valve prohibition opening signal. When the solenoid valve is prohibited from opening, the solenoid valve cannot be opened even if it receives the solenoid valve opening signal.

[0087] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention can determine whether the gas pressure in the gas cylinder is less than the gas pressure in the lash adjuster at the current moment by obtaining the gas pressure in the gas cylinder, thereby improving the safety of the gas cylinder in the process of exhausting gas into the lash adjuster.

[0088] In combination with the above embodiments, in one embodiment, before determining whether the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is greater than the first preset gas pressure, the method further includes:

[0089] Get the steering angle of the vehicle;

[0090] In the case where the steering angle of the vehicle is greater than the preset angle, a step of determining whether the gas pressure in the lash adjuster is greater than a first preset gas pressure is performed.

[0091] Specifically, when the steering angle of the vehicle is greater than a preset angle, the lash adjuster will be compressed, and the gas pressure in the lash adjuster will increase. At this time, it is necessary to open the pressure limiting valve to discharge part of the lash adjuster to reduce the gas pressure in the lash adjuster. In addition, the increase in gas pressure in the lash adjuster may also occur in other situations, such as sudden braking of the vehicle.

[0092] It is worth mentioning that Figure 3 As shown, the air storage cylinder and the solenoid valve, the solenoid valve and the clearance adjuster, and the clearance adjuster and the pressure limiting valve of the present application are all mechanically connected, and the pressure limiting valve switch and the pressure limiting valve, and the solenoid valve switch and the solenoid valve are all electrically connected.

[0093] The method provided by the embodiment of the present invention can determine whether the gas in the lash adjuster is compressed by acquiring the steering angle of the vehicle, thereby determining the driving state of the vehicle.

[0094] In combination with the contents of the above embodiments, in one embodiment, Figure 4 As shown, a control method for a main suspension clearance adjuster of a commercial vehicle further includes:

[0095] 401. When the gas pressure in the gas reservoir is not greater than the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster, the vehicle controller prohibits the solenoid valve from opening to ensure that the gas pressure in the gas reservoir does not decrease;

[0096] 402. When the vehicle makes a sharp turn, the lash adjuster will be compressed, causing the gas pressure in the lash adjuster to increase;

[0097] 403. When the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster is higher than the preset gas pressure, the pressure limiting valve switch controls the pressure limiting valve to open, and discharges part of the gas in the clearance adjuster into the atmosphere through the pressure limiting valve.

[0098] The method provided in the embodiment of the present invention controls the opening of the pressure limiting valve by means of a pressure limiting valve switch, so that part of the gas in the clearance adjuster can be discharged into the atmosphere through the pressure limiting valve, thereby reducing the gas pressure in the clearance adjuster and further improving the safety of the vehicle during driving.

[0099] It should be understood that, although the various steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments are displayed in sequence according to the indication of the arrows, these steps are not necessarily executed in sequence according to the order indicated by the arrows. Unless there is a clear explanation in this article, the execution of these steps does not have a strict order restriction, and these steps can be executed in other orders. Moreover, at least a part of the steps in the flowcharts involved in the above-mentioned embodiments can include multiple steps or multiple stages, and these steps or stages are not necessarily executed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages is not necessarily to be carried out in sequence, but can be executed in turn or alternately with other steps or at least a part of the steps or stages in other steps.
