[0054] An existing upper connection assembly and a method for improving vehicle performance using the same use magnetic fluid to achieve stiffness changes in the upper connection assembly. This method has high material costs, slow response, and cannot change the damping of the shock absorber. It is impossible to achieve active control of vehicle stiffness and damping, thereby achieving excellent handling and ride comfort of the vehicle.

[0055] The invention provides a control method for an upper support assembly.

[0056] See also Figure 1-2 In one embodiment of the present invention, the upper support assembly control method, the upper support assembly 100 includes: a shell 1, a metal bracket 2, an excitation coil 3 and a power supply; the shell 1 has an installation cavity with an opening at one end in the vertical direction, and the opening is used for the shock absorber piston rod to pass through; the metal bracket 2 is movably installed in the installation cavity along the vertical direction, and is used to be fixedly connected to the end of the shock absorber piston rod; and the excitation coil 3 is arranged around the vertical axis, and the two sides in the vertical direction are respectively fixedly connected to the metal bracket 2 and the shell 1; the power supply is electrically connected to the excitation coil 3, so that the excitation coil 3 generates an Ampere force in the vertical direction and acts on the metal bracket 2; wherein elastic parts are arranged on both sides of the metal bracket 2 in the vertical direction, when the excitation coil 3 is not energized, the stiffness of the upper support assembly 100 is constant and cannot be adjusted, and after the excitation coil 3 is energized, the elastic part on one side of the metal bracket 2 in the vertical direction is more easily compressed, and the other side is more easily stretched, thereby achieving the effect of adjusting the stiffness. Furthermore, since the metal bracket 2 is used to be fixedly connected to the end of the shock absorber piston rod, the Ampere force of the excitation coil 3 on the metal bracket 2 indirectly acts on the end of the shock absorber piston rod, which helps or hinders the movement of the shock absorber piston rod, which is equivalent to indirectly adjusting the stiffness of the shock absorber, and then adjusting the stiffness of the vehicle as a whole, so that the vehicle has excellent handling and ride comfort.
