Definitions

  • the invention relates to a spring arrangement with variable spring rate and a strut which is adapted to be suitable for a motor vehicle and having the spring arrangement.
  • the strut has a coil spring and a hydraulic shock absorber disposed within the coil spring.
  • the coil spring and the shock absorber are connected in parallel, so that the shock absorber has in its change in length both an elastic characteristic and an attenuation characteristic.
  • the wheel is fixed with its axis and the other end of the strut is fixed to the body, so that the body is supported by the strut.
  • the yielding of the strut depends on the one hand on the ride on the vehicle via the wheel on the strut introduced shocks and on the other hand on the weight of the body or its payload.
  • the manner of yielding of the strut and thus the characteristic of the mounting of the body is determined in particular by the spring rate of the coil spring. If the coil spring of the suspension strut has a high spring rate, then the body is cushioned hard, whereas the body is cushioned soft when the coil spring of the shock absorber has a low spring rate.
  • the strut Due to different conditions when driving the vehicle, in particular different unevenness in the ground, which is caused by the suspension strut and different high body loadings, it is desirable for the strut to be adaptable. In particular, it is desirable if the spring rate of the strut is variable, so that the type of mounting of the body can be adjusted depending on the driving conditions.
  • a soft storage of the body would be preferred with low payload and flat road during slow travel, whereas a hard storage of the body would be preferable with high payload and rough road during fast driving.
  • spring systems which have a plurality of springs and in which the KrafWund motion transmission is accomplished via hydraulic lines. During compression of the assembly, hydraulic oil flows in certain circuit states.
  • the springs are connected to each other in series and / or in parallel and optionally activated or shutdown. The activation and the decommissioning of selected springs can be accomplished by means of actuators and / or valves.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a spring arrangement and a suspension strut having this spring arrangement whose spring rate is simple, quick and precisely adjustable.
  • the spring arrangement according to the invention has a main spring, a
  • a slider, a stopper and at least one auxiliary spring which is connected in series with the main spring and having a first end, on which the stopper is fixed, and a second end facing away from the first end, with respect to which the slider is fixable, the position of which is adjustable so that when springing the spring assembly, the auxiliary spring has overcome a predetermined compression travel, the stop abuts the slider and thereby further compression of the auxiliary spring is prevented.
  • the spring assembly If the spring assembly is unloaded, it is fully extended. If the spring assembly pressed together, so shorten both the main spring and the auxiliary spring. The spring rate of the spring arrangement results from the series connection of the main spring and the auxiliary spring. If the spring assembly further compressed and reaches the current compression travel of the auxiliary spring the predetermined compression travel, the stop abuts the slide. As a result, further shortening of the additional spring is prevented when the spring arrangement is subjected to further compression. Once the stop abuts the slide, the additional spring is no longer resilient, so that the spring rate of the spring assembly is determined by the main spring.
  • the spring rate of the spring assembly is determined by both the main spring and the auxiliary spring, whereas the spring rate of the spring assembly is determined by the abutment of the stop to the slider only of the main spring.
  • the spring rate of the spring assembly is smaller than before after the abutment of the stop to the slider. It follows that the spring rate of the spring assembly is smaller for small compression travel than for large compression travel, in which the predetermined compression travel of the auxiliary spring is exceeded.
  • the shock absorber according to the invention for a motor vehicle has the spring arrangement according to the invention.
  • the suspension strut has a spring characteristic such that the motor vehicle is cushioned softly with small compression travel, whereas in the case of long compression travel in which the actual compression travel of the additional spring has reached the predetermined compression travel, the motor vehicle is resiliently spring-loaded.
  • the motor vehicle in which the strut is provided a high ride comfort.
  • the likelihood is reduced that the motor vehicle undesirably touches when driving over heavy bumps in the road, whereby the safety of the motor vehicle is increased.
  • the predetermined compression travel of the auxiliary spring is adjustable by adjusting the position of the slider.
  • the position of the slider can be set so that the stopper abuts the slider when the spring assembly is still stretched as good as unloaded.
  • the spring rate of the spring assembly is determined only by the main spring, whereby the shock absorber bounces the vehicle hard in the entire compression range.
  • the position of the slide can be adjusted such that when the spring assembly is completely compressed, the stop only then hits the slide.
  • the spring arrangement comprises a hydraulic chamber and the slide as a hydraulic piston arranged in the hydraulic chamber which is displaceable away from the second end by means of a hydraulic fluid when it is introduced into the hydraulic chamber so that the predetermined compression travel is shortened, and displaceable toward the second end by means of the hydraulic fluid when it is discharged from the hydraulic chamber is such that the predetermined compression travel is extended, and which is supported by the hydraulic fluid, when the hydraulic chamber is tightly sealed, at the second end positionally immovable.
  • the hydraulic piston can be displaced from the stop into the hydraulic chamber when the stop exerts a corresponding force on the hydraulic piston.
  • the slide in the form of the hydraulic piston by means of the hydraulic fluid is continuously displaceable and durable in any position.
  • the adjustability of the spring assembly is flexible and versatile.
  • the spring arrangement preferably has a hydraulic fluid reservoir and a hydraulic line which connects the hydraulic fluid reservoir to a hydraulic chamber in a hydraulic fluid-conducting manner and which has a switching arrangement which includes a non-return check valve from the hydraulic chamber to the hydraulic fluid reservoir, a non-return valve from the hydraulic fluid reservoir to the hydraulic chamber and a non-return valve Having shut-off, wherein the check valves and the shut-off device can be selectively switched into the hydraulic line.
  • the hydraulic piston When the non-return check valve is switched from the hydraulic chamber to the hydraulic fluid reservoir into the hydraulic line, the hydraulic piston can be urged toward the second end by means of the hydraulic fluid. Both the additional spring and the main spring are compressed during compression of the spring arrangement, whereby the spring arrangement has a small spring rate. Since the hydraulic fluid from the Hydraulic fluid reservoir flows, the pressure in the Hydraulikfluid- reservoir increases.
  • the hydraulic piston can follow the stop when the spring arrangement rebounds. If a high pressure prevails in the hydraulic fluid reservoir, this causes the hydraulic piston to extend. When springing the spring arrangement, however, the outflow of hydraulic fluid from the hydraulic chamber is blocked, so that only the main spring is compressible when the predetermined compression travel of the auxiliary spring is reached, whereby the spring rate of the spring assembly is high.
  • the current position of the hydraulic piston determines the predetermined compression travel of the auxiliary spring.
  • the position of the hydraulic piston is determined. This can be done either directly on the piston or directly or indirectly via the Hydraulikfiuidreservoir by particular detecting the pressure in the Hydraulikfiuidreservoir.
  • the hydraulic fluid from the Hydraulikfiuidreservoir is conveyed out by means of a conveyor, whereby the hydraulic piston can be additionally extended when the additional spring has length.
  • the spring arrangement is additionally extended.
  • the auxiliary spring is to be fixed at its first and its second end, so that they can not move unintentionally by contracting from their position.
  • the spring arrangement comprises a hydraulic line and a hydraulic fluid reservoir which is hydraulically fluidically connected to the hydraulic chamber via the hydraulic line and which has an actuating piston and an actuating piston drive with which the actuating piston is displaceable in such a way that the hydraulic fluid is displaced by means of the actuating piston Hydraulic chamber can be brought into it.
  • the hydraulic piston is displaceable away from the second end of the additional spring and thus can be changed in its position.
  • This displacement of the hydraulic piston can also be done against the resistance of the main spring via the stop.
  • the actuator piston drive is a manual drive or a servomotor with a spindle or an eccentric.
  • the actuating piston is arranged freely displaceable in the hydraulic fluid reservoir and the actuating piston drive is designed as a displaceable actuating piston stop which limits the movement of the actuating piston when the hydraulic fluid is discharged from the hydraulic chamber and can displace the actuating piston in such a way that the hydraulic fluid enters the hydraulic chamber can be brought.
  • the abutment abuts against the hydraulic piston during compression of the suspension strut, it is moved by the abutment in the direction of the first end, so that the hydraulic fluid escapes from the hydraulic chamber and is transported into the hydraulic fluid reservoir, as a result of which the adjustment piston is displaced accordingly.
  • the displacement of the actuating piston is limited by the position of the actuating piston stop.
  • control piston stop is displaceable, the end position of the actuating piston and thus the end position of the hydraulic piston by means of the actuating piston can be fixed. If the adjusting piston stop is adjusted by means of the actuating piston drive moves out of the end position to the front, when the actuating piston abuts the control piston stop, so the hydraulic fluid is pressed out of the Hydraulikfluidreservoir out back into the hydraulic chamber by means of the actuating piston, whereby the hydraulic piston moves away from the second end of the auxiliary spring.
  • the spring assembly comprises an intermediate piece on which the stopper is formed and which has a first shoulder, on which the auxiliary spring is supported with its second end, and a second shoulder, on which the main spring is supported.

  • the spring arrangement comprises a plurality of auxiliary springs, which are connected in series or in parallel with the main spring.
  • the spring rate of the spring arrangement can be adjusted by a corresponding actuation of the stops of the additional springs.

  • the alternative spring arrangement comprises a hydraulic chamber and the spool as a hydraulic piston arranged in the hydraulic chamber, which is displaceable by means of a hydraulic fluid when it is introduced into the hydraulic chamber to the second end, so that the predetermined compression travel is shortened, and by means of the hydraulic fluid, as it is discharged from the hydraulic chamber, is displaceable away from the second end, so that the predetermined compression travel is extended, and which is supported by the hydraulic fluid, when the hydraulic chamber is tightly sealed, at the second end positionally immovable.
