[0041] In the related art, the length of the oil pipe from the accumulator to the rod chamber or rodless chamber of the working cylinder is relatively long, and the pipe length has a greater impact on the damping. Therefore, the interconnected suspension has a technical problem of poor damping adjustment performance. The embodiment of the present application provides a vehicle suspension assembly, a vehicle suspension system and a vehicle, which can at least solve the technical problem of poor adjustment performance of the interconnected suspension to a certain extent.
[0042] The present application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, the vehicle suspension assembly 100 is mounted on a vehicle body and includes a hydraulic cylinder 110 , a first pipe 120 , a second pipe 130 , a plurality of accumulators 140 , a plurality of damping valves 150 and a first switch valve 160 .
[0044] The hydraulic cylinder 110 may include a cylinder barrel and a piston rod, wherein a portion of the piston rod is located in the cylinder barrel and forms a rod cavity and a rodless cavity with the cylinder barrel. When the vehicle suspension assembly 100 is used, the cylinder barrel may be fixedly connected to the control arm of the wheel, the piston rod may be fixedly connected to the vehicle frame, and a shock-absorbing spring or other structure may be disposed outside the cylinder barrel and the piston rod. The structure and installation method of the hydraulic cylinder 110 are various and are known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail here. The hydraulic cylinder 110 and the spring or other components disposed outside the hydraulic cylinder 110 may form a shock absorber of the vehicle to reduce vibration of the vehicle.
[0045] One end of the first pipe 120 is connected to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110; one end of the second pipe 130 is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110, and the other end is used to connect to the other end of the first pipe 120 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the opposite side of the coaxial axis with the vehicle suspension component 100, and the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the same side of the different axis with the vehicle suspension component 100. The other end of the first pipe 120 is used to connect to the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the opposite side of the coaxial axis with the vehicle suspension component 100.
[0046] like Figure 1 As shown, the two vehicle suspension assemblies 100 located at the front side are coaxial, and the two vehicle suspension assemblies 100 located at the rear side are also coaxial. The vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the coaxial opposite side of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the left front side is the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the right front side; similarly, the vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the coaxial opposite side of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the left rear side is the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the right rear side. The two vehicle suspension assemblies 100 located on the left side are off-axis, and the two vehicle suspension assemblies 100 located on the right side are also off-axis. The vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the off-axis same side of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the left front side is the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the left rear side; similarly, the vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the off-axis same side of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the right front side is the vehicle suspension assembly 100 located at the right rear side.
[0047] That is, the other end of the second pipe 130 has two interfaces, one end of the first pipe 120 is connected to the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110, and the other end is connected to one of the interfaces of the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the coaxial opposite side; one end of the second pipe 130 is connected to the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110, one of the interfaces of the other end is connected to one of the interfaces of the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the same side of the different axis, and the other interface is connected to the other end of the first pipe 120 of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 on the coaxial opposite side. After such a design, the vehicle suspension system 1000 of the present application is interconnected front and back, and left and right.
[0048] like Figure 1 As shown, the other end of the first pipe 120 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the left front side is connected to the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the right front side; the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the left front side is respectively connected to the other end of the first pipe 120 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the right front side and the other end of the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension component 100 located on the lower left side.
[0049] A plurality of accumulators 140 are respectively installed on the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130; a plurality of damping valves 150 are respectively installed on the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130; a first switch valve 160 is installed on the first pipeline 120, and along the oil inlet direction of the rod chamber, the first switch valve 160, the accumulator 140 and the damping valve 150 on the first pipeline 120 are arranged in sequence.
[0050] The number of accumulators 140 is two or more, and the accumulators 140 are installed on both the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130, that is, there is at least one accumulator 140 on each of the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130. Similarly, the number of damping valves 150 is two or more, and the damping valves 150 are installed on both the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130, that is, there is at least one damping valve 150 on each of the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130. The first switch valve 160 is set at least on the first pipeline 120, and the first switch valve 160 may be installed on the second pipeline 130, or may not be installed, which is not limited in this application.
[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, an accumulator 140 and a damping valve 150 are installed on both the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130 , and a first switch valve 160 is provided on the first pipeline 120 .
[0052] The first pipe 120 and the second pipe 130 of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 are both provided with an accumulator 140, so that the distance from the accumulator 140 to the hydraulic cylinder 110 is shortened, that is, the distance for the oil to flow in and out of the accumulator 140 is shortened, which helps to reduce the influence of the pipe length on the damping, facilitates the adjustment of the damping of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and has better damping adjustment performance.
[0053] The arrangement of the first switch valve 160 on the first pipeline 120 allows the vehicle suspension system 1000 having the vehicle suspension component 100 to close the switch valve according to the vehicle operating conditions, so that the vehicle suspension system 1000 closes the left and right interconnections and maintains the front and rear interconnections, so that one side of the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110 of each vehicle suspension component 100 is connected to at least one accumulator 140, and the accumulator 140 without a rod chamber can be shared front and back, and a plurality of accumulators 140 are connected in total. Since the left and right interconnections are released, the coupled anti-roll capability is weakened, and at the same time, the volume of the accumulator 140 with a rod chamber becomes smaller, and the restoring damping force at a large stroke is reduced due to the reduced gradient of the pressure difference in the rod chamber. Such a design can increase the rapid ground contact of the wheels and reduce the change in the vehicle's attitude angle.
[0054] In some embodiments, along the oil outlet direction of the rodless chamber, the damping valve 150 and the accumulator 140 on the second pipeline 130 are sequentially arranged.
[0055] That is, the damping valve 150 on the second pipeline 130 is located between the accumulator 140 and the hydraulic cylinder 110 .
[0056] In some embodiments, the damping valve 150 is a one-way damping valve 150. Along the oil inlet direction of the rod chamber, the one-way damping valve 150 on the first flow channel 170a is opened, and along the oil outlet direction of the rod chamber, the one-way damping valve 150 of the first flow channel 170a is throttled; and along the oil outlet direction of the rodless chamber, the one-way damping valve 150 on the second flow channel 170g is opened, and along the oil inlet direction of the rodless chamber, the one-way damping valve 150 of the second flow channel 170g is throttled.
[0057] It should be noted that the one-way damping valve 150 includes a one-way valve and a throttle valve connected in parallel. Along the oil inlet direction of the rod chamber, the one-way valve on the first flow channel 170a is opened, and along the oil outlet direction of the rod chamber, the one-way valve on the first flow channel 170a is closed; along the oil outlet direction of the rodless chamber, the one-way valve on the second flow channel 170g is opened, and along the oil inlet direction of the rodless chamber, the one-way valve on the second flow channel 170g is closed.
[0058] This design enables the damping valves 150 on the rod chamber and the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110 to be reversely connected to each other, thereby achieving the required asymmetry between the restoring (tension) damping and the compression damping. Specifically, after such design, when the suspension is stretched, the volume of the rod chamber becomes smaller, and the oil volume of the rodless working cylinder becomes larger, while the one-way valve of the one-way damping valve 150 for oil outlet from the rod chamber (that is, the one-way valve on the first pipeline 120) is closed, and the one-way valve of the one-way damping valve 150 for oil inlet from the rodless chamber (that is, the one-way valve on the second pipeline 130) is also closed, and the oil can only pass through two throttle valves (that is, the throttle valve on the first pipeline 120 and the throttle valve on the second pipeline 130), the throttling pressure difference is large, and the restoring damping force is large; conversely, when the suspension is compressed, the volume of the rod chamber becomes larger, and the oil volume of the rodless working cylinder becomes smaller, while the one-way valve for oil inlet from the rod chamber (that is, the one-way valve on the first pipeline 120) is open, and the one-way valve for oil outlet from the rodless chamber (that is, the one-way valve on the second pipeline 130) is also open, and the oil passes mostly through the one-way valves, the throttling pressure difference is small, and the compression damping force is small. This will enable the vehicle's suspension system to be soft and vibration-isolated during compression, while having relatively large damping during rebound, so as to reduce the amplitude of vehicle posture changes, absorb impact energy, and attenuate vibrations. That is, it will reduce the vibrations and bumps felt by passengers during vehicle driving and improve ride comfort.
[0059] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the vehicle suspension assembly 100 further includes a valve body 170 , which forms the first conduit 120 and the second conduit 130 , and the first switch valve 160 , the accumulator 140 and the damping valve 150 are all mounted on the valve body 170 .
[0060] The valve body 170 is provided with a flow channel and various ports connected to the flow channel, and the combination of these flow channels and ports can form the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130. In this design, the functions of the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130 are integrated on the same valve body 170, and the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130 do not need to be separately provided, which will help reduce the number of parts of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and the first switch valve 160, the accumulator 140 and the damping valve 150 are installed on the valve body 170, which improves the integration of the vehicle suspension assembly 100. After such a design, the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130 are both integrated on the valve body 170, and the valve bodies 170 can be connected to each other through interconnecting pipelines to achieve front-to-back and left-to-right interconnection, so that the valve body 170 can be arranged close to the hydraulic cylinder 110, so that the distance between the accumulator 140 on the valve body 170 and the hydraulic cylinder 110 is shorter, reducing the influence of the pipeline length on the damping, which is beneficial to the adjustment of the damping of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and the damping adjustment performance is better. The accumulator 140 is arranged on the first pipeline 120 and the second pipeline 130 of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and the accumulators 140 on the two pipelines are installed on the same valve body 170, so that the distance from the accumulator 140 to the rod chamber and the rodless chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110 is shortened and close to the same length, which helps to reduce the influence of the pipeline length on the damping, which is beneficial to the adjustment of the damping of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and the damping adjustment performance is better.
[0061] In some embodiments, the valve body 170 is fixedly mounted on the front suspension shaft or the rear suspension shaft of the vehicle, and the valve body 170 is close to the hydraulic cylinder 110, which shortens the distance between the accumulator 140 on the valve body 170 and the hydraulic cylinder 110, reduces the influence of the pipeline length on the damping, and is beneficial to the adjustment of the damping of the vehicle suspension assembly 100, and the damping adjustment performance is better.
[0062] In some embodiments, a mounting hole is formed on the valve body 170 , and the valve body 170 is fixedly mounted on the front suspension shaft or the rear suspension shaft of the vehicle through the mounting hole.
[0063] In some embodiments, the valve bodies 170 are connected via a first interconnected pipe 200 and a second interconnected pipe 300 .

[0074] Based on the same inventive concept, the embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle suspension system 1000, comprising:
[0075] Four vehicle suspension assemblies 100 arranged in an array;
[0076] The first interconnected pipe 200 connects the other end of the first pipe 120 of one of the two coaxial vehicle suspension components 100 to the other end of the second pipe 130 of the other vehicle suspension component 100;
[0077] The second interconnected pipe 300 is located in two vehicle suspension components 100 on different axes, and the other end of the second pipe 130 of one vehicle suspension component 100 is connected to the other end of the second pipe 130 of the other vehicle suspension component 100.
[0078] Four vehicle suspension components 100 are arranged in an array, such as Figure 1 As shown, the left front side, right front side, left rear side and right rear side are placed respectively.
[0079] Four first interconnected pipes 200 are provided, one of which connects the first oil port 170b of the valve body 170 of the left front vehicle suspension component 100 with the fourth oil port 170i of the valve body 170 of the right front vehicle suspension component 100. One of which connects the fourth oil port 170i of the valve body 170 of the left front vehicle suspension component 100 with the first oil port 170b of the valve body 170 of the right front vehicle suspension component 100. One of which connects the first oil port 170b of the valve body 170 of the left rear vehicle suspension component 100 with the fourth oil port 170i of the valve body 170 of the right rear vehicle suspension component 100. Another connects the fourth oil port 170i of the valve body 170 of the left rear vehicle suspension component 100 with the first oil port 170b of the valve body 170 of the right rear vehicle suspension component 100.
[0080] Two second interconnecting pipes 300 are provided, one of which connects the fifth oil port 170j of the valve body 170 of the left front vehicle suspension component 100 with the fifth oil port 170j of the valve body 170 of the left rear vehicle suspension component 100, and the other connects the fifth oil port 170j of the valve body 170 of the right front vehicle suspension component 100 with the fifth oil port 170j of the valve body 170 of the right rear vehicle suspension component 100.
[0081] With such a design, the vehicle suspension system 1000 can close the first switch valve 160 when traveling on a rough road such as a cobblestone road, so that the vehicle suspension system 1000 closes the left and right interconnection and maintains the front and rear interconnection, so that one side of the rod chamber of the hydraulic cylinder 110 of each vehicle suspension component 100 is connected to at least one accumulator 140, and the accumulator 140 without a rod chamber can be shared front and back, and a plurality of accumulators 140 are connected in total. Since the left and right interconnection is released, the coupled anti-roll capability is weakened, and at the same time, the volume of the accumulator 140 with the rod chamber becomes smaller, and the restoring damping force at a large stroke is reduced due to the reduced gradient of the pressure difference in the rod chamber. Such a design can increase the rapid ground contact of the wheels and reduce the change in the vehicle's attitude angle.
[0082] In some embodiments, the vehicle suspension system 1000 further includes a second switch valve 400 , which is installed on the second interconnected pipeline 300 .
[0083] A second switch valve 400 is installed on each of the two second interconnected pipes 300. In some embodiments, the second switch valve 400 is an electromagnetic switch valve. With this design, when the second switch valve 400 is opened, the front and rear interconnections of the vehicle suspension system 1000 are opened, which can improve the off-road performance of the vehicle. When the second switch valve 400 is closed, the front and rear interconnections of the vehicle suspension system 1000 are closed, which can improve the anti-pitch performance of the vehicle.
[0084] Based on the same inventive concept, an embodiment of the present application further provides a vehicle, comprising the above-mentioned vehicle suspension assembly 100 or the above-mentioned vehicle suspension system 1000 .
[0085] Since the vehicle includes the above-mentioned vehicle suspension assembly 100 or the above-mentioned vehicle suspension system 1000, it naturally has all the beneficial effects of the vehicle suspension assembly 100 or the vehicle suspension system 1000, which will not be elaborated here.
