A suspension
actuator integrating electromagnetic, hydropneumatic, and
inerter characteristics, and a control method therefor. The
actuator comprises a
piston rod, a guide rod, a spiral groove sleeve, a
stator core, and a straight rod; a controllable damping valve
assembly is provided in a
piston; the bottom end of the
piston rod is connected to the piston; the top end of the guide rod passes through the piston and extends into the interior of the
piston rod; a spiral groove is formed in the inner circle surface of the spiral groove sleeve; an
electromagnetic coil is embedded in a groove of the
stator core; the
stator core is fixed to the spiral groove sleeve /
piston rod; the outer circle surface of the straight rod is sleeved with a permanent
magnet; the straight rod is fixed to the
piston rod / spiral groove sleeve; damping holes are machined in the piston in the axial direction; the piston rod, the piston, and the stator core divide the interior of the
actuator into an upper cavity, a middle cavity, and a lower cavity. By energizing the
electromagnetic coil and the controllable damping valve
assembly, the suspension can operate in three
modes, namely, a passive mode, a semi-
active mode, and an
active mode. The suspension actuator of the present invention has electromagnetic, hydropneumatic, and
inerter characteristics at the same time, thereby widening suspension control bandwidth, and reducing the
energy consumption of the
electromagnetic system.
