[0029] The four suspension cylinders are double-acting cylinders.

[0030] The working modes of the energy feedback type multifunctional suspension system include the following modes.

[0031] 1. Chassis lowering process

[0032] When the driver holds a legal key into the search range of the car, the controller receives the legal identity information of the key from the anti-theft system, and then supplies power to the relays KA0, KA1, KA2, KA3, KA4 and KA5 through the B4, PB5, PB6, PB7, PB8 and PB9 interfaces, respectively. Then the above-mentioned five relays are turned on to control the main circuit of the relays to be turned on, and the solenoid valves YA0, YA1, YA2, YA3, YA4 and YA5 powered by the 12V power supply are turned on to make the hydraulic system loop be turned on, so that the four suspension cylinders (the left front suspension cylinder 17, the right front suspension cylinder 16, the left rear suspension cylinder 15 and the right rear suspension cylinder 14) are lowered by 15-20mm (different models can be set to different lowering data) at the same time, thereby facilitating the driver and passenger to get on the car. When the door is closed and the engine is started, the controller will cut off the power supply of the relays KA1, KA2, KA3 and KA4, so that the four suspension heights of the hydraulic system return to the preset height. When the chassis height reaches the preset height, the controller will cut off the power supply of the B4, PB5, PB6, PB7, PB8 and PB9 interfaces, at which time the hydraulic system is in a pressure maintaining state, maintaining the existing chassis height, and the relays KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, and the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 return to the original position, and the system is pressure maintained.

[0033] In addition, when driving, if the vehicle speed sensor 22 monitors that the vehicle speed is higher than a certain threshold (such as the high-speed driving speed exceeding 100Km / h), the vehicle speed sensor 22 will transmit the vehicle speed signal to the controller through the A7 interface of the controller. After judging that the vehicle speed exceeds the preset threshold, the controller supplies power to the relays KA0, KA1, KA2, KA3, KA4 and KA5 through the B4, PB5, PB6, PB7, PB8 and PB9 interfaces, respectively. Then the above-mentioned five relays are turned on to control the main circuit of the relays to be turned on, and the solenoid valves YA0, YA1, YA2, YA3, YA4 and YA5 powered by the 12V power supply are turned on to make the hydraulic system loop be turned on, so that the four suspension cylinders are lowered by 15-20mm (different models can be set to different lowering data) at the same time, and the chassis height is lowered to the preset height. After that, the controller cuts off the power supply of the B4, PB5, PB6, PB7, PB8 and PB9 interfaces, at which time the hydraulic system is in a pressure maintaining state, maintaining the existing chassis height, and the relays KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, and the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 return to the original position, and the system is pressure maintained, as shown in FIG. 2. Figure 3

[0034] 2. Chassis lifting process

[0035] ​When the road condition is poor, the change amount of the data measured by the four suspension height sensors (left front suspension height sensor 23, right front suspension height sensor 24, left rear suspension height sensor 25, right rear suspension height sensor 26) will exceed a certain threshold, and these data will be transmitted to the controller through the A6, A5, A4, A3 interfaces of the controller, respectively. The controller will make a judgment according to the data. When the data change amount exceeds a certain threshold, the controller will supply power to the relays KA0 and KA5 through the B4 and PB9 interfaces, respectively. Then the above two relays are turned on to control the relay main circuit to be turned on, and the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 supplied by the 12V power supply are turned on to make the hydraulic system loop connected, and the four suspension cylinders are raised by 15-20mm (different models can be set to different rising data) at the same time. After the chassis height is raised to the preset height, the controller will cut off the power supply of B4 and PB9. At this time, the hydraulic system is in a pressure maintaining state, maintaining the existing chassis height, and the relays KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, and the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 return to the original position, and the system is pressure maintained, as shown in Figure 4

[0036] 3. Anti-dive mode

[0037] When the driver steps on the brake pedal, the brake pedal position sensor 29 will transmit a signal to the controller through the A0 interface. According to the data of the brake pedal position sensor 29, the controller supplies power to the relays KA0, KA3, KA4, KA5, and the relays are attracted to control the relay main circuit to be turned on, and the solenoid valves YA0, YA3, YA4, YA5 are powered on. At this time, the high-pressure oil in the accumulator two 18 will supply high-pressure oil to the upper chamber of the left rear suspension cylinder 15 and the right rear suspension cylinder 14, and supply high-pressure oil to the lower chamber of the left front suspension cylinder 17 and the right front suspension cylinder 16. Therefore, the two front suspension cylinders of the vehicle are raised, and the two rear suspension cylinders are lowered, and the pressure difference between the front and rear suspension cylinders offsets the forward diving caused by braking, improving the ride comfort of the vehicle. When the driver releases the brake pedal, according to the signals of the four suspension height sensors, the controller will control the relays KA1 and KA2 to be connected, and KA3 and KA4 to be disconnected. Then the hydraulic system will supply high-pressure oil to the upper chambers of the two front suspension cylinders and the lower chambers of the two rear suspension cylinders. At this time, the front and rear suspensions respectively return to the normal form state, the relays KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 return to the original position, and the system is pressure maintained, as shown in Figure 5

[0038] 4. Anti-dive mode

[0039] ​​When the driver steps on the accelerator pedal, the accelerator pedal position sensor 28 will send a signal to the controller through the Al interface, and the controller will supply power to the relays KA0, KA1, KA2, KA5 according to the data of the accelerator pedal position sensor 28. The main circuit is turned on by the attraction of the relays, and the solenoid valves YA0, YA1, YA2, YA5 are powered to act. At this time, high-pressure oil is supplied to the left front suspension oil cylinder 17 and the right front suspension oil cylinder 16, and high-pressure oil is supplied to the left rear suspension oil cylinder 15 and the right rear suspension oil cylinder 14. Therefore, the two front suspension oil cylinders of the vehicle are lowered, and the two rear suspension oil cylinders are raised. The pressure difference between the front and rear suspension oil cylinders offsets the rear tilting caused by acceleration, improving the comfort of the vehicle. When the driver releases the accelerator pedal, according to the signals of the four suspension height sensors, the controller controls the relays KA3, KA4 to be combined and KA1, KA2 to be disconnected. The hydraulic system will then supply high-pressure oil to the lower chambers of the two front suspension oil cylinders and the upper chambers of the two rear suspension oil cylinders. At this time, the front and rear suspensions return to the normal state, the relays KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, the solenoid valves YA0 and YA5 return to their original positions, and the system is pressure- maintained, as shown in Figure 6

[0040] 5. Anti-roll mode

[0041] When the vehicle turns, take left turn as an example. When turning left, the front and rear suspensions on the left side of the vehicle will lower, causing the vehicle body to tilt, affecting driving safety and ride comfort. When the left front suspension height sensor 23 and the left rear suspension height sensor 25 detect that the suspension height has decreased, they will send signals to the controller through the A6 and A4 interfaces of the controller, respectively. When the vehicle tilts to the left, the controller supplies power to the relays KA0, KA2, KA4, KA5 through the B4, PB6, PB8, and PB9 interfaces, respectively. The above four relays turn on the main circuit, and the YA2 and YA4 solenoid valves are powered to reverse direction. At this time, high-pressure oil is supplied to the lower chambers of the left front suspension oil cylinder 17 and the left rear suspension oil cylinder 15, and the upper chambers of the right front suspension oil cylinder 16 and the right rear suspension oil cylinder 14. The two suspension oil cylinders on the left side of the vehicle are raised, and the two suspension oil cylinders on the right side are lowered. The resulting pressure difference in the oil cylinders will offset the tilting caused by turning, improving safety and ride comfort. When the driver releases the steering wheel, the vehicle turns off, and according to the signals of the four suspension height sensors, the controller controls the relays KA1, KA3 to be combined and KA2, KA4 to be disconnected. The hydraulic system will then supply high-pressure oil to the lower chambers of the two left suspension oil cylinders and the upper chambers of the two right suspension oil cylinders. At this time, the front and rear suspensions return to the normal state, KA0 and KA5 are disconnected, YA0 and YA5 solenoid valves return to their original positions, and the system is pressure- maintained, as shown in Figure 7 ​When the vehicle turns right, solenoid valves YA1 and YA3 are powered, the left two suspension cylinders are lowered, and the right two suspension cylinders are raised, thus the pressure difference of the cylinders can offset the roll caused by the turning process, improving safety and ride comfort, as shown in Figure 8 . .

[0042] 6. Energy recovery mode

[0043] When the vehicle is running normally, if a wheel (or several wheels, such as through the shock strip) encounters an obstacle, due to the impact of the obstacle, the wheel will move upward, the cylinder piston will move upward, the upper chamber volume will decrease, and the high-pressure oil will flow through the two-way pump motor one 11 and the two-way pump motor two 12 through the two-position three-way reversing valve 8. At this time, the two-way pump motor one 11 becomes a hydraulic motor, and due to the impact of the incoming high-pressure oil, since the shafts of the two-way pump motor one 11 and the two-way pump motor two 12 are connected as a whole, when the two-way pump motor one 11 rotates, it will drive the two-way pump motor two 12 to rotate through the output shaft. At this time, the two-way pump motor two 12 becomes a hydraulic pump, which further pressurizes the incoming hydraulic oil and stores it in the accumulator 18, thereby collecting the energy of the vehicle vibration and converting it into the pressure energy of the accumulator two 18. At the same time, since the four suspension cylinders are connected in parallel, when one wheel is impacted, the other suspension cylinders will also participate, thereby the interconnected suspension during driving reduces the time of wheel vibration and allows the vehicle to quickly recover to normal driving, improving ride comfort, as shown in Figure 9 .

[0044] 7. Energy release mode

[0045] When the vehicle is running, when the chassis height needs to be adjusted (mode 1, mode 2) or when the vehicle is accelerating or decelerating (mode 3, mode 4) or when the vehicle is turning (mode 5), the controller controls the relay KA0 and the relay KA5 to be turned on through the B4 interface and the PB9 interface respectively, so that the electromagnetic valves YA0 and YA5 are reversed. At this time, the bidirectional pump motor two 12 becomes a hydraulic motor, and the high-pressure oil from the accumulator one 13 impacts the bidirectional pump motor two 12 to rotate. Since the bidirectional pump motor one 11 and the bidirectional pump motor two 12 are coaxially connected, when the bidirectional pump motor two 12 rotates, it will drive the bidirectional pump motor one 11 to rotate. At this time, the bidirectional pump motor one 11 becomes a hydraulic pump, pressurizes the hydraulic oil and sends it into the hydraulic system, helping the variable oil pump 1 to complete the functions of lifting, lowering, anti-roll and anti-pitch of the chassis, thereby reducing the power requirement of the variable oil pump 1 and reducing energy consumption. At the same time, the bidirectional pump motor one 11 and the bidirectional pump motor two 12 can be adjusted twice to maintain the T port pressure of the two-position four-way valve 3 at a constant value, so that the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet ends is maintained at a small constant value, thereby reducing the throttling loss of the proportional valve, increasing the energy entering the secondary regulation unit, and improving the utilization rate of vibration energy.

[0046] When the oil pressure measuring valve 2 detects that the oil pressure of the hydraulic system is lower than the threshold value, the signal is transmitted to the controller through the A2 port of the controller. The controller lights up the oil pressure alarm lamp and the buzzer through the B14 and B15 terminal points, so as to remind the driver to repair in time.
