Rocking Control Device for Two Front Wheels Vehicle
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current rocking control devices for two front wheels rocking vehicles lack the ability to select appropriate rocking controls based on driving conditions, limiting the vehicle's ability to rock in arbitrary directions according to weight shift only.
Innovation Solution
A rocking control device with a controller that switches between first and second rocking controls, including weight shift roll assist, dual and single effect roll damper controls, and steering roll assist, allowing for customizable rocking assistance based on vehicle speed and driver input, enabling the vehicle to self-stand at a balanced position and rock in arbitrary directions.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a single type of rocking control is implemented, then the control system is simple, but it is not possible to choose a rocking control corresponding to different driving conditions
Solution Approach 1:
The control system dynamically switches between different rocking control modes (first rocking control for assisted rocking, second rocking control for self-standing) based on driving conditions and driver input, allowing the system to adapt its characteristics rather than being fixed
2Ease of operation
If the first rocking control assists rocking in all directions, then it is easier to rock the vehicle, but it cannot prevent excessive roll angles
Solution Approach 1:
The control system applies different characteristics to different aspects of rocking: the first rocking control provides assistance for normal rocking operations, while the second rocking control specifically addresses stability at the self-standing position, with each mode having localized functional characteristics
3Stability of the object's composition
If the vehicle is designed to self-stand at a balanced position, then stability is improved, but the vehicle cannot rock smoothly in arbitrary directions
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically transitions between self-standing mode and free rocking mode based on driver input and driving conditions, allowing the vehicle to switch between stability-oriented and freedom-oriented characteristics as needed

AI summary
The rocking control device for a two front wheels rocking vehicle includes a controller (50) that executes a first rocking control (LI to L4) which assists a rocking of the two front wheels rocking vehicle (1) and a second rocking control (L5 to L7) which assists the two front wheels rocking vehicle (1) so that the two front wheels rocking vehicle (1) self-stands at a rocking balanced position where a rocking moment of the vehicle body is canceled out in a lateral direction, wherein controller (50) is configured to switch the first rocking control (LI to L4) and the second rocking control (L5 to L7) to OFF state, and is configured to operate the first rocking control (LI to L4) and the second rocking control (L5 to L7) in combination.
