[0070] The fully active suspension system includes a fully active shock absorber, a sensor and an ECU controller, wherein the sensor includes a height sensor for detecting the height of the vehicle body, the height sensor includes a sensor shaft, a disc and a shutter, the disc is provided with a number of narrow slots, and the shutter is provided with a light-emitting diode and a photosensitive diode. When the height of the vehicle body changes, on the one hand, the lower arm of the suspension drives the sensor shaft to rotate through the connecting rod and the guide rod, and the sensor shaft drives the disc to rotate. When the disc rotates, the narrow slot blocks or allows part of the light to reach the shutter, and the light-emitting diode and the photosensitive diode on the shutter are used to detect the light reaching the shutter, thereby detecting the rotation angle of the disc, and then reflecting the rotation angle of the transmission shaft and the change in the height of the vehicle body; on the other hand, the stroke of the fully active shock absorber also changes. It can be seen that the angle of the height sensor corresponds to the stroke of the fully active shock absorber, the angular velocity of the height sensor corresponds to the velocity of the fully active shock absorber, and the angular acceleration of the height sensor corresponds to the acceleration of the fully active shock absorber.

[0071] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a fully active shock absorber in an embodiment of the present application is shown. Figure 1 In the figure, 1 is the body, 2 is the piston rod, 3 is the cylinder, 4 is the hydraulic oil circuit, 5 is the accumulator, 6 is the electric hydraulic pump, 7 is the piston, and 8 is the suspension. Figure 1 , the structure of the fully active shock absorber is explained:

[0072] The fully active shock absorber includes a shock absorber body, an electric hydraulic pump 6, a hydraulic oil circuit 4 and an accumulator 5. The shock absorber body includes a cylinder 3, a piston 7 and a piston rod 2. The lower end of the cylinder 3 is connected to the suspension 8, that is, the bottom of the cylinder 3 is connected to the suspension 8. There is hydraulic oil in the cylinder 3. The piston 7 is arranged in the cylinder 3. The piston 7 divides the cylinder 3 into a recovery chamber and a compression chamber. The chamber above the piston 7 is the recovery chamber, and the chamber at the lower end of the piston 7 is the compression chamber. The upper end of the piston rod 2 is connected to the vehicle body 1, and the lower end passes through the top of the cylinder 3 and extends into the cylinder 3 to connect with the piston 7. The electric hydraulic pump 6 is arranged on the hydraulic oil circuit 4. One end of the hydraulic oil circuit 4 is connected to the recovery chamber, and the other end is connected to the compression chamber. The accumulator 5 is connected to the hydraulic oil circuit 4. The connection position of the accumulator 5 to the hydraulic oil circuit 4 The accumulator 5 is provided with a floating piston, and the floating piston divides the accumulator into a high-pressure gas chamber and a liquid chamber. The liquid chamber is connected to the hydraulic oil circuit 4. The electric hydraulic pump 6 is used to drive the piston 7 to move in the cylinder 3. When the electric hydraulic pump 6 rotates forward, the electric hydraulic pump 6 pumps the hydraulic oil in the restoring chamber into the compression chamber through the hydraulic oil circuit 4, and drives the piston 7 to move upward, that is, to move in the direction of the vehicle body 1. When the electric hydraulic pump 6 is reversed, the electric hydraulic pump 6 pumps the hydraulic oil in the compression chamber into the restoring chamber through the hydraulic oil circuit 4, and drives the piston 7 to move downward, that is, to move in the direction of the suspension 8.

[0073] Figure 2 A flow chart of a fully active suspension system travel protection method in an embodiment of the present application is shown, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , provides a travel protection method for a fully active suspension system, the fully active suspension system comprising a fully active shock absorber, the fully active shock absorber comprising a cylinder with hydraulic oil, a piston arranged in the cylinder, and an electric hydraulic pump for driving the piston to move in the cylinder, see Figure 1 , the electric hydraulic pump drives the piston to move in the up and down directions, the bottom of the cylinder is used to connect the suspension, and the method is described in detail as follows:

[0074] In step S1, the current stroke of the piston is obtained, wherein the current stroke is the distance between the piston and the bottom of the cylinder. The current stroke can be understood as the shock absorber stroke. The current stroke can be the distance between the piston and the inner bottom of the cylinder, or the distance between the piston and the outer bottom of the cylinder, see Figure 1 The current stroke may be the distance between the piston and the upper end of the bottom of the cylinder, or the distance between the piston and the lower end of the bottom of the piston.

[0075] In step S2, when the current stroke is greater than a preset stroke threshold, a restoring impact force is obtained, wherein the restoring impact force is the impact force applied by the piston to the top of the cylinder through the hydraulic oil in the cylinder. Figure 1 The restoring impact force is an upward impact force applied by the piston through the hydraulic oil in the cylinder, that is, an impact force applied by the piston to the top of the cylinder through the hydraulic oil in the restoring chamber.

[0076] In step S3, according to the magnitude relationship between the restoring impact force and the preset impact force, the operating parameters of the electric hydraulic pump are controlled so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in the opposite direction to the restoring impact force. The reverse force buffers the restoring impact force and reduces the abnormal sound generated by the restoring impact force. The preset impact force can be 8000N.

[0077] In some embodiments, obtaining the restoring impact force includes: obtaining the unsprung mass of the fully active shock absorber and obtaining the current acceleration of the piston; and determining the restoring impact force according to the unsprung mass and the current acceleration. The unsprung mass is the mass of the component not supported by the fully active shock absorber.

[0078] In some implementations, obtaining the current acceleration of the piston includes: obtaining a unit stroke of the piston in a unit time; and determining the current acceleration based on the unit stroke.

[0079] Exemplarily, the unit time is 1 second, and the unit stroke is the stroke that the piston travels within 1 second.

[0080] In some implementations, determining the current acceleration based on the unit stroke includes: performing a second-order derivative on the unit stroke to obtain the current acceleration.

[0081] In some implementations, determining the restoring impact force according to the unsprung mass and the current acceleration includes: determining the restoring impact force according to a product of the unsprung mass and the current acceleration.

[0082] In some embodiments, obtaining the unit stroke of the piston in unit time includes: obtaining a first stroke of the piston at a first moment and a second stroke of the piston at a second moment, wherein the moment reached after the first moment passes through the unit time is the second moment; and determining the unit stroke according to the difference between the second stroke and the first stroke.

[0083] It should be noted that obtaining the current stroke of the piston may be understood as obtaining the stroke of the piston at the current moment.

[0084] In some embodiments, the operating parameters of the electric hydraulic pump are controlled according to the magnitude relationship between the restoring impact force and the preset impact force, so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in the opposite direction to the restoring impact force, including: when the restoring impact force is less than or equal to the preset impact force, determining the speed control amount required for the electric hydraulic pump, and controlling the speed and rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump according to the speed control amount and the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump, so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in the opposite direction to the restoring impact force; when the restoring impact force is greater than the preset impact force, controlling the electric hydraulic pump to reverse according to a first target speed, so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in the opposite direction to the restoring impact force. The first target speed can be the maximum speed of the electric hydraulic pump to provide the maximum reverse force, or it can be a speed close to the maximum speed of the electric hydraulic pump.

[0085] In some embodiments, when the electric hydraulic pump rotates forward, the direction of its forward force is the same as the restoring impact force, and controlling the speed and rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump according to the speed control amount and the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump includes: obtaining the current speed and current rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump; when the current rotation direction is reverse, determining the second target speed according to the sum of the current speed and the speed control amount, and adjusting the speed of the electric hydraulic pump to the second target speed; when the current rotation direction is forward, if the current speed is greater than or equal to the speed control amount, determining the third target speed according to the difference between the current speed and the speed control amount, and adjusting the speed of the electric hydraulic pump to the third target speed; if the current speed is less than the speed control amount, determining the fourth target speed according to the difference between the speed control amount and the current speed, adjusting the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump to reverse and the speed to the fourth target speed.

[0086] When the current speed is greater than or equal to the speed control amount, the forward force provided by the electric hydraulic pump is greater than or equal to the restoring impact force, and the speed of the electric hydraulic pump is controlled to be the speed difference, that is, the speed of the electric hydraulic pump is reduced from the current speed to the third target speed, and the reverse force is provided by reducing the forward force; when the current speed is less than the speed control amount, the forward force provided by the electric hydraulic pump is less than the restoring impact force, and the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump is controlled to be reverse, and the speed of the electric hydraulic pump is controlled to be the fourth target speed, that is, the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump is changed from forward to reverse, the speed becomes the fourth target speed, and the reverse force is provided by stopping applying the forward force and providing part of the reverse force.

[0087] For example, see Figure 1 , when the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump is forward, a first positive force is provided to drive the piston to move upward. If the current speed is greater than or equal to the speed control amount, the speed is reduced to the third target speed, and a second positive force is provided to drive the piston to move upward. The second force is less than the first positive force, that is, the force driving the piston to move upward is reduced from the first force to the second force. If the current speed is less than the speed control amount, the rotation direction of the electric hydraulic pump is changed from forward to reverse, and the speed becomes the fourth target speed, and a first reverse force is provided to drive the piston to move downward, that is, the first positive force is stopped, and then the first reverse force is provided.

[0088] In some embodiments, the determining the speed control amount required by the electric hydraulic pump includes: obtaining the current speed and cross-sectional area of ​​the piston, and obtaining the displacement and volumetric efficiency of the electric hydraulic pump; determining the current required flow of the electric hydraulic pump according to the current speed and the cross-sectional area; determining the speed control amount according to the current required flow, the displacement and the volumetric efficiency. The cross-sectional area is the cross-sectional area of ​​the piston, which is used to characterize the effective working area inside the fully active shock absorber.

[0089] In some implementations, determining the current required flow rate of the electric hydraulic pump according to the current speed and the cross-sectional area includes: determining the current required flow rate of the electric hydraulic pump according to a first product of the current speed and the cross-sectional area.

[0090] In some embodiments, determining the speed control amount based on the current required flow rate, the displacement and the volumetric efficiency includes: determining a second product of the displacement and the volumetric efficiency; and determining the speed control amount based on the quotient of the current required flow rate and the second product.

[0091] Determining the speed control amount according to the current speed is equivalent to controlling the piston to move at a speed in the opposite direction of the current speed according to the speed control amount. Figure 1 , the piston moves upward at the current speed, which is equivalent to controlling the piston to move downward at the current speed according to the speed control amount.

[0092] In some embodiments, obtaining the current speed and cross-sectional area of ​​the piston includes: obtaining a unit stroke of the piston in a unit time; and determining the current speed based on the unit stroke.

[0093] In some implementations, determining the current speed based on the unit stroke includes: performing a first-order derivative on the unit stroke to obtain the current speed.

[0094] In some embodiments, the fully active suspension system also includes a height sensor for detecting the height of the vehicle body, and obtaining the current stroke of the piston includes: obtaining a preset relationship characterizing the relationship between the height sensor angle and the piston stroke, and obtaining the current angle of the height sensor; and determining the current stroke based on the current angle and the preset relationship.

[0095] In some embodiments, acquiring a preset relationship characterizing the relationship between the height sensor angle and the piston stroke includes: calibrating the height sensor angle and the piston stroke to determine the preset relationship.

[0096] In the present application, when the current stroke is greater than a preset stroke threshold, the restoring impact force is obtained, and according to the magnitude of the restoring impact force, the operating parameters of the electric hydraulic pump are controlled so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in the opposite direction of the restoring impact force, thereby reducing the impact force of the piston on the top of the cylinder.

[0099] The second acquisition unit 102 acquires a restoring impact force when the current stroke is less than a preset stroke threshold, wherein the restoring impact force is an impact force applied by the piston to the top of the cylinder through the hydraulic oil in the cylinder;

[0100] The first control unit 103 controls the operating parameters of the electric hydraulic pump according to the magnitude relationship between the restoring impact force and the preset impact force, so that the electric hydraulic pump provides a reverse force in a direction opposite to the restoring impact force.
