Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile electronically controlled suspension systems, and in particular to a highly integrated fully active electromechanical suspension actuator. Background Art

[0002] Traditional vehicle suspension systems are passive systems that include a spring-damper system, where the spring and damper have fixed characteristics. However, given changing road conditions and changing passenger preferences, such fixed characteristics may not be suitable for complex and changing road conditions. Therefore, active suspension systems have gradually developed, in which various suspension characteristics can be controlled by the user or automatically respond according to road conditions.

[0003] At present, the active suspension system has significant advantages in automobile vibration reduction. It can adjust the output force of the main power actuator according to the driving conditions of the car, so as to take into account the smoothness and handling stability of the car. The existing main power actuators mainly include linear motor type, hydraulic type, rotary motor type and other types. Among them, the linear motor type has the simplest structure and the highest energy conversion efficiency, but its disadvantage is that the continuous output force density is low. Hydraulic actuators are usually divided into flow regulation type and pressure regulation type, which require an external power source, so they are large in size and have high energy consumption. Rotary motor actuators usually use mechanisms such as ball screws, gear racks, hydraulic cylinders (hydraulic motors or pumps) to achieve linear and rotary motion conversion and amplify the electric control force of the actuator. However, the rotary motor active suspension system may face problems such as excessive motor power consumption, insufficient response speed and unsatisfactory damping effect under high-frequency excitation.

[0004] In order to alleviate the problem of poor damping effect of rotary motor actuators using ball screws under high-frequency excitation, the patent application publication text with Chinese patent application publication number CN108819643A proposed "an active suspension using a rubber spring coaxial with the main power actuator". The active suspension has a rubber bushing spring coaxially connected in series at the bottom of the main power actuator, forming a two-stage vibration-damping rotary motor active suspension structure. However, since the dynamic deflection of the bushing spring needs to meet the safety threshold of rubber compression, a certain bushing spring compression safety distance must be reserved, resulting in a larger bushing spring, and thus a larger suspension installation space needs to be reserved between the vehicle body and the wheel. In addition, the damping stiffness of the additional rubber bushing spring is fixed and unchanged, and its adaptability to vehicle driving conditions is not ideal.

[0005] In summary, the main defects of the existing technology include: the linear motor actuator has a low continuous output force density; the hydraulic actuator is large in size and has high energy consumption; the rotary motor actuator has poor damping effect when high-frequency input occurs, etc. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a highly integrated fully active electromechanical suspension actuator that effectively combines active and passive damping mechanisms, can play an excellent vibration reduction role under low-frequency, medium-frequency and high-frequency conditions, and improve the smoothness and handling stability of the vehicle.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 9This embodiment discloses a highly integrated fully active electromechanical suspension actuator, including an electric drive mechanism 1, a motion conversion mechanism 2, and a basic damping mechanism 3.

The cavity inside the damper housing is filled with hydraulic oil, and the cavity of the damper housing is provided with a damper inner cylinder 7, and the damper inner cylinder 7 divides the cavity in the damper housing into an inner cavity 8 and an outer cavity 9 which are connected at the upper end or the lower end, and the channel connecting the inner cavity 8 and the outer cavity 9 is a connecting channel 10, and a vertically extending damper spiral shaft 11 is provided in the inner cavity 8, and the damper spiral shaft 11 is rotatably mounted on the damper housing and one end extends out of the damper housing as an input end, and a spiral protrusion 12 is provided on the outer circumferential surface of the damper spiral shaft 11, and the damper spiral shaft 11 is provided with a spiral protrusion 12. A spiral oil path is formed between the spiral protrusion 12 of the swivel shaft 11 and the inner wall of the damper inner cylinder 7. A plurality of damping holes 13 are circumferentially opened on the damper inner cylinder 7. The damping holes 13 are located at a position on the damper inner cylinder 7 away from the connecting channel 10. Both ends of the damping holes 13 are respectively connected to the inner cavity 8 and the outer cavity 9. A one-way valve 14 is provided in some of the damping holes 13. The damper spiral shaft 11 is driven to rotate through the power transmission mechanism 4.

[0040] The following embodiments are given according to different combinations of several mechanisms, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0042] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in this embodiment:

[0043] The motion conversion mechanism 2 adopts a ball screw mechanism, which includes a screw outer sleeve 15 and a screw shaft 16 and a ball nut 17 placed in the screw outer sleeve 15 and threadedly matched with each other. The bottom of the screw outer sleeve 15 is fixedly connected to the damper housing of the basic damping mechanism 3, and the lower section of the screw shaft 16 is rotatably supported on the screw outer sleeve 15 through a thrust bearing 18. The vertical movement of the ball nut 17 is limited and guided by a guide groove extending vertically in the screw outer sleeve 15. The upper end of the ball nut 17 is fixedly connected to a screw shaft sleeve 19, which is hollowly sleeved outside the screw shaft 16 and extends upward from the screw outer sleeve 15 as the vibration input end of the motion conversion mechanism 2, and the lower end of the screw shaft 16 extends from below the screw outer sleeve 15 as the vibration output end of the motion conversion mechanism 2.

[0044] The power transmission mechanism 4 adopts a first external meshing gear mechanism, which includes a meshing gear 1 20 and a gear 2 21. The rotating motor 22 is fixedly mounted on the damper housing of the basic damping mechanism 3. The gear 1 20 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 22, and the gear 2 21 is coaxially fixedly connected to the vibration output end of the motion conversion mechanism 2, that is, the gear 2 21 is coaxially fixedly connected to the lower end of the screw shaft 16. The lower end of the damper spiral shaft 11 of the basic damping mechanism 3 is rotatably supported on the damper housing shell 5 through the thrust bearing 2 23. The upper end of the damper spiral shaft 11 of the basic damping mechanism 3 extends out from the damper upper end cover 6 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 2 21. A skeleton oil seal 24 is provided between the upper section of the damper spiral shaft 11 and the damper upper end cover 6. The skeleton oil seal 24 is used to seal the hydraulic oil in the cavity, so that the hydraulic oil will not leak when the damper spiral shaft rotates to pump oil.

[0045] In the basic damping mechanism 3, the cavity inside the damper housing is filled with about 94 ml of hydraulic oil, the top of the inner cavity 8 and the outer cavity 9 are both closed by the damper upper end cover 6, the top of the damper inner cylinder 7 is fixedly installed with the damper upper end cover 6, and a gap is left between the bottom end of the damper inner cylinder 7 and the damper housing shell 5 to form a connecting channel 10. The damping hole 13 is arranged at a position close to the top of the damper inner cylinder 7 and is distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction. The conduction direction of the one-way valve 14 is from the inside to the outside along the radial direction of the damper inner cylinder 7.

[0046] The arrangement of the various mechanisms of the actuator is as follows: the electric drive mechanism 1 and the motion conversion mechanism 2 are located on the same side of the power transmission mechanism 4 , and the basic damping mechanism 3 is located on the other side of the power transmission mechanism 4 .

[0047] In the entire actuator, the part of the screw shaft sleeve 19 extending above the screw outer sleeve 15 serves as the vibration input end of the motion conversion mechanism 2, and the vibration input end is connected to the tower top of the vehicle; the bottom of the damper housing of the basic damping mechanism 3 is connected to the suspension body of the vehicle.

[0048] When the vehicle vibrates, the body transmits the vibration to the screw shaft sleeve 19 of the ball screw mechanism, driving the screw shaft sleeve 19 to vibrate up and down, and the screw shaft sleeve 19 drives the ball nut 17 fixed thereto to vibrate up and down, and the ball nut 17 drives the screw shaft 16 matched with its thread to rotate, and the bottom end of the screw shaft 16 is connected to the gear 2 21 through a flat key, and converts the linear motion of the ball nut 17 along the screw shaft 16 into the rotational motion of the gear 2 21, thereby driving the damper spiral shaft 11 to rotate, and the damper spiral shaft 11 promotes the hydraulic oil to flow in the spiral oil channel, so that the hydraulic oil circulates between the inner cavity 8 and the outer cavity 9, generates a damping force, and suppresses the rotational motion of the damper rotating shaft, gear 2 21 and the screw shaft 16, thereby suppressing the up and down vibration of the screw shaft sleeve 19, and then suppressing the vibration of the vehicle, realizing passive damping control of the vehicle vibration.

[0049] When the damper spiral shaft 11 rotates forward, the hydraulic oil rises along the spiral oil passage and passes through the damping hole 13 on the damper inner tube 7 from the inside to the outside. A one-way valve 14 is installed in part of the damping gap. The conduction direction of the one-way valve 14 is from the inside to the outside, so the hydraulic oil can pass through all the damping holes 13 into the outer cavity 9, and the damping force generated by the corresponding basic damping mechanism 3 is small; when the damper spiral shaft 11 is reversed, the hydraulic oil descends along the spiral oil passage, and the hydraulic oil in the inner cavity 8 is squeezed from the connecting channel 10 at the bottom of the damper inner tube 7 to the outer cavity 9, and then the hydraulic oil passes through the damping hole 13 on the damper inner tube 7 from the outside to the inside. Due to the action of the one-way valve 14, the damping hole 13 with the one-way valve 14 is not conductive. At this time, the number of damping holes 13 that the hydraulic oil can pass through is reduced, and the damping force generated by the corresponding basic damping mechanism 3 is large.

[0050] At the same time, the rotating motor 22 can perform active power control on the vehicle vibration as needed. When the rotating motor 22 is started, the rotating motor 22 drives the gear 1 20 to rotate, and the gear 1 20 drives the gear 2 21 meshing with it to rotate, so that the up and down movement of the screw shaft sleeve 19 can be controlled, which can realize the active control of the vehicle vibration and the active adjustment of the vehicle body posture. When the rotating motor 22 is not started, the rotating gear 2 21 can drive the gear 1 20 to rotate, and the gear 1 20 feeds the rotational motion back to the rotating motor 22, realizing the vibration energy feeding function of the rotating motor 22. That is, the rotating motor 22 can control the two modes of active power energy consumption and vibration energy feeding.

[0051] Embodiment 2

In this embodiment, the motion conversion mechanism 2 adopts a planetary screw mechanism, and the lower end of the planetary screw shaft 25 of the planetary screw mechanism serves as the vibration output end of the motion conversion mechanism 2, and the upper end of the planetary screw shaft sleeve fixedly connected to the planetary screw ball nut 26 of the planetary screw mechanism serves as the vibration input end of the motion conversion mechanism 2.

The flange 27 at the bottom of the damper inner tube 7 is sealed and fixedly installed with the inner wall of the damper outer shell 5. A gap is left between the top of the damper inner tube 7 and the damper outer shell 5. An annular gap 28 is opened at the top of the damper inner tube 7 to form a connecting channel 10. The damping holes 13 are arranged on the flange 27 at the bottom end of the damper inner tube 7 and are distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction. The conduction direction of the one-way valve 14 is one-way conduction from bottom to top along the flange 27.

[0056] Embodiment 4

This arrangement is more compact and saves space occupied in the vertical direction of the entire actuator.

[0059] The power transmission mechanism 4 adopts a second external meshing gear mechanism, which includes gear three 29, gear four 30 and gear five 31 that are meshed in sequence. Gear three 29 is coaxially fixedly connected to the output end of the electric drive mechanism 1, gear four 30 is coaxially fixedly connected to the damper screw shaft 11 of the basic damping mechanism 3, and gear five 31 is coaxially fixedly connected to the vibration output end of the motion conversion mechanism 2.

[0061] See also Figure 6 The difference between this embodiment and the second embodiment is that the connection positions of the basic damping mechanism 3 and the power transmission mechanism 4 are different. In this embodiment:

[0062] The upper end of the damper spiral shaft 11 of the basic damping mechanism 3 extends above the damper upper end cover 6 and is coaxially fixedly connected to the gear 1 20 .

[0063] Embodiment 6

[0064] See also Figure 7 The difference between this embodiment and the fifth embodiment is that the layout of the various mechanisms of the actuator is different and the structure of the power transmission mechanism 4 is different. In this embodiment:
