Abstract
A suspension system supports a seat with respect to a base mounted on a frame of a vehicle. The system includes a hydraulic actuator coupled between the seat and the base. A single accelerometer is attached to the base and generates a base acceleration signal in response to motion of the base. A control unit actively controls the hydraulic actuator as a function of the base acceleration signal. The control unit generates a base velocity signal by integrating the base acceleration signal, generates a seat position signal representing a position of the seat relative to the base, generates a seat position error signal representing a difference between a desired position and the seat position signal, and generates a command signal as a function of the velocity signal and of the position error signal. The control unit controls the actuator by applying the command signal thereto.
Description
- The invention relates to a seat suspension system which isolates a vehicle seat from vibrations.
- Passive suspension systems, such as for a vehicle seat, are known. For example, John Deere production 6000, 7000, 8000 and 9000 Series tractors have passive seat suspension systems which include a hydraulic shock absorber in parallel with an air bag.
- Active suspension systems are known which include an electro-hydraulically controlled actuator working in parallel with a resilient device, such as a spring. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,363,377 (Van Gerpen), issued Dec. 14, 1982, discloses an active seat suspension system with a hydraulic actuator in parallel with a spring. A control system controls fluid communication to the actuator in response to a seat position signal, a stiffness control, a seat height control and a gain control. U.S. Pat. No. 6,000,703 (Schubert et al.), issued Dec. 14, 1999, discloses an active cab or seat suspension control system with a hydraulic actuator in parallel with a pneumatic air spring or air bag. U.S. Pat. No. 6,371,459, issued to Applicant's assignee, describes an active seat suspension system wherein an accelerometer is attached to the seat. However, with an accelerometer attached to the seat, the system cannot respond until an acceleration of the seat occurs and is sensed. Also, such an accelerometer must be connected to wires or cables which are constantly being flexed and which require special care in routing.
- A system for controlling the pitch of a truck cab is described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,044,455 (Tecco et al.), issued 3 Sep. 1991. However, this system requires at least front and back acceleration sensors in order to generate cab or frame pitch acceleration signals. Furthermore, such a system cannot control simple vertical acceleration of the cab relative to the frame, it can only control pitch or pivotal acceleration.
- Accordingly, an object of this invention is to provide an active seat suspension system which does not require an accelerometer attached to the seat.
- This and other objects are achieved by the present invention, wherein an active suspension system for supporting a mass, such as a seat supported on a base which is fixed to a frame of a vehicle, includes a hydraulic actuator coupled between the seat and the base and a control system which actively controls the hydraulic actuator. The control system actively controls the hydraulic actuator as a function of a seat position error signal, and an acceleration signal generated by an acceleration sensor which is attached to the seat base.
-
FIG. 1 is a simplified schematic diagram of a seat suspension system according to the present invention; and -
FIG. 2 is a logic flow diagram illustrating an algorithm performed by the electronic control unit ofFIG. 1 ; and -
FIG. 3 is a schematic block diagram illustrating the seat suspension system ofFIG. 1 . - Referring to
FIG. 1 , an activeseat suspension system 10 includes aseat 12 supported byscissors linkage 14 above aseat base 16 which is fixed relative to aframe 15 of a vehicle. Also coupled between theseat 12 and the base 16 are a hydraulic piston oractuator 18. A servo device such as a hydraulic circuit orvalve unit 22 controls fluid communication between the actuator 18, apump 24 and a reservoir orsump 26. Thevalve unit 22 and theactuator 18 cooperate so that the velocity of theactuator 18 will be proportional to the magnitude of the signal applied to the input of thevalve unit 22. - A
single accelerometer 32, such as a commercially available silicon capacitive variation transducer, is attached to theseat base 16, and generates an acceleration signal representing the simple vertical acceleration of thebase 16. Aseat position sensor 34, such as a ratio-metric, rotary Hall-effect transducer, is coupled to thelinkage 14. An electronic control unit (ECU) 36 receives signals fromsensors operable control 38 which generates a position command signal. In response to these inputs, theECU 36 provides a valve command or control signal to thevalve unit 22. - An
air bag 40 may also be coupled between theseat 12 and thebase 16. Theair bag 40 may be controlled by an electronically controlledair compressor 42 and an electronically controlledvent valve 44, both controlled by theECU 36 as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,371,459, which is incorporated by reference herein. - The
ECU 36 executes analgorithm 200 represented byFIG. 2 . Conversion of this flow chart into a standard language for implementing the algorithm described by the flow chart in a digital computer or microprocessor, will be evident to one with ordinary skill in the art. - At
step 200 various constants for theaccelerometer 32, theseat height sensor 34, a velocity compensation parameter, a valve command, gain, offset and filtering, are initialized and stored in non-volatile memory (not shown) in theECU 36. - Step 204 causes the algorithm to wait for an interrupt signal which occurs at regular time intervals, such as every 4 milliseconds, for example. The interrupt interval is preferably based upon processor capability and hardware requirements. Step 206 performs maintenance functions, such as incrementing counters (not shown) which are used to determine when filtering and other routines should be run.
- If it is the appropriate time to recalculate averages,
step 208 directs the algorithm to step 210, else to step 212. - Step 210 calculates an average of the accelerometer signal and adjusts the constants based on the response of the
cylinder 18 to the valve command signal to compensate for drift of the accelerometer and to compensate for variations in cylinder response. The constants may also be adjusted to compensate for variations of voltage, hydraulic pressure and other parameters. - Step 212 inputs data from the
accelerometer 32 andposition sensor 34. If desired, other data may be received, such as voltage, hydraulic pressure, etc. - Step 214 calculates the velocity of the
seat base 16 by integrating the signal fromaccelerometer 32 for the most recent time interval. - Step 216 performs various filtering functions, such as filtering the seat base velocity value because the
valve 22 cannot respond to high frequencies, and canceling low frequencies. Seat position, cylinder velocity, voltage and hydraulic pressure signals could also be filtered. Such filtering may be accomplished via software filters inalgorithm 200 or by analog filters (not shown) or a combination thereof. - Step 218 calculates a seat Position_Error value by subtracting the position command from the sensed seat position.
- Step 220 generates the valve command according to this equation:
VALVE COMMAND=Filtered seat base Velocity×K — V — CMD+K2— V — CMD+Position_Error×K — Pos, -
- where K_V_CMD is predetermined valve command constant, K2_V_CMD is a valve command offset constant, and K_Pos is gain constant.
- The resulting system operates to limit vibration of
seat 12 with theaccelerometer 32 attached to theseat base 16, not theseat 12. With this algorithm the command sent to thevalve 22 is not based on a complicated equation which attempts to cancel acceleration. Instead, the system determines the velocity caused by the acceleration and then cancels most of that velocity. The above described algorithm is simple for the ECU to execute, thus providing a rapid response and minimal acceleration of the seat. It is not possible to cancel all of the seat velocity, as that would require that the seat stay at the same height, relative to the center of the earth. - The constants can be adjusted adaptively if the
cylinder 18 does not respond in a linear manner to the command, if different cylinders have different responses, or if these responses vary over time. In other words, if the response ofcylinder 18 to velocity commands is slower or faster than desired, the constants could be changed to achieve the desired response. If the gain of the valve vs. cylinder velocity command is non-linear, or varies with seat position, then a table of constants, or an equation relating response to command could be stored in a memory of theECU 36. - This control system could be implemented through the use of an analog controller, or a hybrid circuit (combination of analog and digital controller), although an analog system would be more difficult to make adaptive. Referring to
FIG. 3 , a position error signal is generated by adifference unit 100 which receives a desired seat height signal fromoperator control 38 and the seat height signal fromsensor 34. The position error is multiplied by Kpos and applied to summingunit 104. Anintegrator 102 converts the base acceleration signal fromsensor 32 into a base velocity signal. The velocity signal is multiplied by Kv_cmd and applied to summingunit 104. The valve command offset K2_V_cmd is also applied to summingunit 104. The output of summingunit 104 is applied to an input ofvalve unit 22 ??? which in turn controls the velocity of actuator orcylinder 18. - While the present invention has been described in conjunction with a specific embodiment, it is understood that many alternatives, modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art in light of the foregoing description. Accordingly, this invention is intended to embrace all such alternatives, modifications and variations which fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.
