Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for detecting the axle geometry, in particular toe-in, camber and caster in motor vehicles with independent wheel suspensions.
- the motor vehicle manufacturers prescribe certain axle settings including the permissible tolerances for the vehicle axles of their models.
- the toe-in can be adjusted via the tie rods and / or the camber and caster angle via an eccentric.
- the other axle setting values for the spread, the steering roller radius, the caster replacement and the toe difference angle are design data that are not easy to measure and are only needed to be able to check the safety of an automobile that has been damaged or has been in use for a long time.
- axle setting values or the axle geometry are dependent on the load and the load distribution, an overhaul or measurement is carried out on the unloaded, horizontally standing motor vehicle.
- the axle setting values are specified for a motor vehicle in this neutral position. They can be measured or checked and then, if necessary, to be adjusted or readjusted.
- a sensible measurement or checking of the axle geometry is therefore dependent on proper alignment and loading or unloading. If the motor vehicle is, for example, due to different deflection or rebound of individual wheels, among other things due to incorrect loading outside the neutral position, the factory-set axle setting values relating to the neutral position do not match the measured values recorded even with the axle geometry set correctly. In this case there is a risk that a correct axis geometry will be adjusted by an adjustment or that a scaling to be corrected will not be adjusted correctly.
- the invention is based on the problem of developing a method with which the axle geometry can be measured and / or checked with simple means, regardless of the level position of the motor vehicle.
- the recordable result de: measurement and / or testing should be suitable to enable automatic readjustment or adjustment.
- the inclination is measured in the case of certain handlebars of the wheel suspensions in at least any motor vehicle position, or the inclination measurements are carried out in the case of certain handlebars of the wheel suspensions in a specific location of the motor vehicle body in at least any motor vehicle position.
- the measured values recorded are sent to a computer, for example, via a data line.
- the inclination measurements are carried out using an electronic inclination measuring device.
- the measuring device consists of a sensor integrated in a housing, which indicates a measurement deviation from the horizontal or vertical in degrees.
- the sensor part has, for example, a measurement range of +/- 15 ° and a measurement accuracy of 0.01 to 0.05 °.
- Any physical principle can be used as a sensor and / or sensor system for the inclination measuring device, which enables the mentioned measuring range and the specified measuring accuracy.
- magnetoresistive, conductometric, piezoelectric or optical sensors can be used as a sensor and / or sensor system for the inclination measuring device, which enables the mentioned measuring range and the specified measuring accuracy.
- magnetoresistive, conductometric, piezoelectric or optical sensors can be used as a sensor and / or sensor system for the inclination measuring device, which enables the mentioned measuring range and the specified measuring accuracy.
- magnetoresistive, conductometric, piezoelectric or optical sensors can be used as a sensor and / or sensor system for the inclination measuring device.
- the sensor is housed in a housing which has various adapter surfaces and / or adapter contours on its outer contour.
- a device for displaying the measured value can be accommodated separately from the sensor in a separate housing.
- the sensors including their housings, can be a few cubic centimeters in size, so that the contact surfaces or contact contours on the test objects only have to be a few square millimeters in size.
- the housing of the sensor can be a truncated pyramid, as a cone, stepped bolt or the like, which, for example, to be inserted on the handlebars of the motor vehicle in recesses for the inclination measurement which correspond to the shape of the sensor housing.
- adapter elements for differently adapting the sensor housing to the measurement object.
- the adapter elements are, for example, hooks, brackets, clips and the like. They are designed in such a way that they enable unambiguous installation or installation for the inclination measuring device on at least one handlebar at a certain point.
- the angle of inclination determined by the sensor is displayed or output optically or acoustically on a display device.
- the display device is arranged on the sensor housing or in the vicinity thereof, so that the person operating the inclination measuring device can check the plausibility of the measurement on site on the basis of the angle of inclination output and can repeat the measurement if necessary.
- the electronic assemblies for converting the measurement signals into optically and / or acoustically representable measurement values are also located in the housing of the display device.
- the inclination measuring device can also have an input, storage and computing unit, so that the individual vehicle-type-specific testing or measuring processes can be called up by pressing a button.
- the motor vehicle is driven over a pit or jacked up so that the wheel-guiding and wheel-carrying links are accessible.
- the motor vehicle does not have to be unloaded beforehand, nor does a correct tire pressure have to be brought about or a correct tire and / or rim size must be observed. That also has to Motor vehicle must not be aligned horizontally above the pit or on the lift.
- the inclination measuring device is adapted to the various drivers of the motor vehicle, a measured value is determined and transmitted to a downstream computer.
- One handlebar after the other can be measured with an inclination measuring device.
- a group of links for example the links of a wheel suspension, or all links can be measured simultaneously. In the latter case, an operator adapts the inclination measuring devices to all of the handlebars relevant for the axle geometry measurement and then starts the measurement centrally.
- the structure of the motor vehicle to be measured can be inclined in different directions during the measurement process or between individual measurements, so that the position of the wheels changes relative to the structure. From the changes in the inclination of the handlebars when the wheels compress or rebound, Further axle geometry values are determined or irregularities in the kinematic and elastokine atic behavior of the wheel suspension are determined.
- Et al can be used to determine the upper and lower end of the travel of a single suspension.
- the measured values recorded are fed to a computer by data line or wirelessly, for example by radio.
- the computational ⁇ ner such as a PC
- the vehicle-type-specific data of the running gear are provided.
- the level of this wheel suspension can be calculated. The level here is the deflection or rebound travel compared to a zero or neutral position of the wheel or the wheel suspension.
- level-dependent axle parameters such as camber, caster or track difference angle can be calculated, for example.
- vehicle type-specific data or formulas required for level calculation can also be generated by experimentally determined data or data sets.
- the current axle parameters calculated via the handlebar inclinations are compared in the computer with the target values or target value ranges specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
- the results of the comparison or comparisons are logged by the computer, for example using a printer. If one or more axis characteristic values lie outside the corresponding target value ranges, any correction information that can be machine-processed is output via the corresponding computer interface.
- These correction instructions or the requests for adjustment or readjustment can be carried out mechanically in the manufacturer's plant and / or the repair workshops using suitable devices.
