The present invention provides a measuring device for measuring an amount of rotation of a pillow ball bush mounted on the vehicle body and a connecting portion of the suspension arm and the suspension arm connected to the vehicle body of the vehicle and the pillow ball bush rotated by the vertical movement of the suspension arm. It includes, the measuring device is coupled to the connecting portion of the suspension arm to cover the pillow ball bush and to support the rotation axis of the garage sensor assembly characterized in that the present invention can reduce the weight and cost It is effective to measure the garage accurately and safely.
Description
The present invention relates to a garage sensor assembly, and more particularly, to a garage sensor assembly for detecting the height of the vehicle more accurately by improving the garage sensor for detecting the garage through the height of the suspension device.
In general, the suspension of the vehicle is a device that absorbs vibration or shock generated by contact with the road surface while driving, and comprises a plurality of link elements, elastic means and shock absorbers.
Recently, there is a situation in which a height sensor is added to actively control such a suspension device appropriately for a driving environment.
The garage sensor is a sensor that detects the height of the ground and the vehicle body that varies depending on the degree of load on the vehicle.
In the case of the conventional garage sensor is connected to the suspension device such as a suspension arm of the vehicle (Suspension Arm) is connected to the mounting device such as a separate bracket (Bracket).
Therefore, in the case of the conventional garage sensor, the layout is complicated, and the cost increases due to the increase of parts, and the weight increases.
In addition, in the case of the connecting device such as the bracket (Bracket), there is a high risk of being damaged by external exposure when the vehicle body floats in the air, such as when the vehicle is towed.
In addition, in the case of the conventional garage sensor as described above, there is a problem that it is difficult to calculate the exact garage because the garage calculated in proportion to the distance between the connection device and the garage sensor is sensitively changed.
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem, and can reduce the weight and cost of the vehicle by reducing unnecessary parts, reduce the risk of damage of the garage sensor, and the garage sensor assembly that can calculate the garage accurately It aims to provide.
In an embodiment of the present invention as a means for solving the above problems provides a garage sensor assembly. In some embodiments, the garage sensor assembly includes a suspension arm connected to the vehicle body; A pillow ball bush mounted on the vehicle body and a connection portion of the suspension arm; And a measuring device for measuring an amount of rotation of the pillow ball bush that rotates by vertical movement of the suspension arm, wherein the measuring device is coupled to the connection portion of the suspension arm to cover the pillow ball bush. It may be characterized in that for supporting the rotating shaft.
The pillow ball bush may include a hollow inner pipe having a part of an outer circumference formed by a spherical portion, a first bearing sliding in contact with the outer circumference of the spherical portion, a cover portion disposed on the first bearing outer circumference, and an outer circumference of the cover portion. It may be disposed and include an outer pipe formed of an elastic material.
The inner pipe and the cover part may be formed to extend by a predetermined length, and the extended part of the cover part may be integrally formed with a measurement unit provided to measure the amount of rotation in the measuring device.
The outer circumferential surface of the first bearing and the cover portion may be formed in a spherical surface reflecting the shape of the spherical portion located therein.
It may be characterized in that it further comprises a second bearing mounted between the measurement unit and the inner pipe to slide.
It may be characterized in that it further comprises first and second ring seals installed between both sides of the first bearing and the cover portion and the inner pipe to prevent the ingress of foreign matter.
The cover part may be formed of a metal material.
The cover portion is equipped with a plurality of magnets (Magnet) along the circumference of the cover portion on one side, the measuring device detects the magnetic change caused by the magnet (Sensing) characterized in that for measuring the rotation amount of the pillow ball bush You can do
According to the garage sensor assembly according to the present invention, since a separate bracket-like part is not required for installing the garage sensor, the weight of the vehicle is reduced by the number of parts, and the manufacturing cost can be reduced.
In addition, since the measuring device is directly attached to the suspension arm rotation shaft portion, there is an effect of reducing the risk of damage to the measuring device even when the vehicle is towed or the vehicle body is lifted.
In addition, in the case of the present invention, since the measuring device is directly attached to the suspension arm to measure the amount of rotation thereof and calculate the height of the vehicle, the accuracy of the garage sensing is improved.
