Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention, when a vehicle having wheels on the left, right, front and rear, travels, the vehicle can be started, accelerated, decelerated, stopped, or turned when the vehicle moves in the front, rear, left and right directions. It is a device that adjusts each part of the vehicle body to an ideal height according to changes in force and maintains the leaning posture.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In automobiles and the like, there have been devices for damping vibration of suspensions and the like, and active suspensions for reading changes in the road surface and keeping the vehicle body as horizontal as possible to the road surface.

[0003]

However, this has the following drawbacks. In automobiles, we are trying to maintain running stability and habitability by utilizing suspension etc., but when starting, accelerating,
The force applied to the occupant and the load during braking, stopping, cornering, etc. to the front, rear, left, and right is not canceled so much, causing the occupant to tremble, causing discomfort and motion sickness, and causing the load to collapse. Was there. Also, when passengers get on a bus or train when they are standing up, they have to be very nervous about the shaking and be careful not to fall down, and they must stand up with their feet. In particular, when attempting to stop or curve, the vehicle body or body is shaken in a direction different from the traveling direction of the vehicle due to inertia or centrifugal force, and the vehicle is forced to perform a significant deceleration due to lack of stability. The present invention has been made to eliminate this drawback.

[0004]

[Means for Solving the Problems] A leveler (1) indicating the direction and size of the center of gravity and the horizontal and center of gravity for allowing a vehicle to sense gravity, inertia, centrifugal force, action and reaction, etc. generated during traveling, Install a sensor (2) that senses direction and size. A sensor (2) that senses the direction and size of the horizontal and center of gravity is combined with a vehicle height adjustment device (3) that senses the center of gravity of the vehicle and maintains the vehicle body at an ideal height and inclination. It actively stabilizes the center of gravity of the time and eliminates the load on the vehicle body, occupants, and loads as much as possible, and maintains the ideal posture at each moment to help the vehicle run stably.

[0005]

In the case of a vehicle or the like, the body of the vehicle is equipped with a leveler (1) indicating the direction and size of the horizontal and the center of gravity and a sensor (2) for detecting the direction and size of the horizontal and the center of gravity in the vehicle body. A vehicle height adjusting device (3) for maintaining the vehicle at an ideal height and inclination is combined and connected to the vehicle body. The present invention having the above-described structure maintains the vehicle body as horizontal as possible with respect to the direction directly below the center of gravity of the vehicle body and hangs on various vehicle bodies, occupants, loads, etc. while the vehicle is running. The force on the front, rear, left and right is eliminated to improve the running stability of the vehicle.
