Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of vehicle fully automatic suspension, and mainly relates to a simplified rotary pressure distribution valve structure suitable for fully active suspension. Background Art
[0002] With the development of science and technology, intelligence has gradually become popular in people's lives. Passengers have higher and higher requirements for intelligent driving and comfort. Traditional passive suspension and semi-active suspension can no longer meet current needs, and the demand for fully active suspension is increasing. Fully active suspension generally uses hydraulic oil as a medium to adjust and control suspension damping and vehicle height. When the load mass or road conditions of different wheels change, different pressures need to be allocated to each wheel shock absorber to maintain the body posture. The actuator for oil pressure distribution is the pressure distribution valve. In the fully active suspension system, the sensor will continuously monitor the wheel load, body posture and road conditions, and transmit the monitored information to the control unit. The control unit calculates the ideal damping force and body height adjustment requirements based on these data, and sends instructions to the pressure distribution valve. The pressure distribution valve is the key actuator to achieve this control. It adjusts the flow and pressure of the hydraulic oil flowing through each wheel shock absorber according to the instructions of the control unit, thereby achieving independent control of the damping force and body height of each wheel. This allows the vehicle to accurately adjust each wheel according to different load masses and road conditions to maintain the best body posture and driving stability.

However, the use of the sliding valve structure requires a high cleanliness of the hydraulic oil, and impurities in the oil may block the tiny gap of the sliding valve, resulting in failure; in addition, due to the complexity of the sliding valve structure and the high sealing and wear resistance requirements, the use and maintenance costs are high.

An oil circuit is formed between the oil return port 4 and the first oil outlet 27. The low-pressure oil in the upper chamber of the shock absorber 1 passes through the first oil outlet 27, the first oil passage 40, the second valve sleeve oil port 26, the third valve core oil groove 21, the first valve core oil hole 30, the first valve core oil groove 23, the fourth valve sleeve oil port 18 and the oil return port 4, and flows back to the hydraulic oil pump and the oil storage device of the full-automatic suspension system from the oil return port 4 to realize the circulation of the oil; the valve core 13 can automatically return to the zero position under the action of the torsion spring 16 after rotation.
[0048] The simplified rotary pressure distribution valve structure suitable for full active suspension of the present invention adopts a one-in, two-out, one-return rotary pressure distribution valve integrated with a drive motor, and controls the forward and reverse rotation of the valve core 13 by the drive motor to realize the switching of the oil circuit and the control of the opening of each valve port, thereby realizing continuous adjustment of the pressure of the upper and lower chambers of the shock absorber 1, thereby controlling the shock absorber 1 to provide a continuous and adjustable damping force for the vehicle body.
