一种悬架系统及其控制方法和车辆 技术领域
本申请涉及车辆结构技术领域,特别涉及一种悬架系统及其控制方法和车辆。
背景技术
汽车的悬架系统连接于簧载质量与非簧载质量之间,可以削弱路面激励对汽车输出变量的扰动。汽车输出一般从舒适性与路面附着性两方面考虑,对应的汽车输出变量分别为车身加速度与轮胎变形,而两者存在一定的矛盾关系。汽车悬架系统则需在考虑悬架行程与设计成本的情况下,衡量两者的折中关系,使行驶中的汽车能够做出合乎驾驶员或者车辆设计需求的响应,满足舒适性、操纵性、安全性设计需求。汽车悬架系统通常包括被动悬架、半主动悬架和全主动悬架。
被动悬架系统凭借其低成本的优势,很长一段时间内都是一种主流的悬架系统。而随着电控技术的发展,半主动悬架系统凭借其可控性、自适应调节性,也逐渐受到市场青睐,被越来越多的车型配备,通常由螺旋弹簧或气体弹簧与连续可调阻尼的阻尼器构成。而主动悬架则在极少数顶级车型上配置,需要额外能量输入,如液压泵、直线电机等,实现主动作动的操作。
目前的半主动空气悬架系统通常使用半主动减振器作为阻尼元件,采用气体弹簧作为弹性元件,通过对其充放气,实现其高度特征的调整,以适应不同的外部输入要求。现有技术中,在气体弹簧气路方面,主要采用气泵从大气中供给气体到气体弹簧中,并且排气时将气体直接排到大气中,从而实现气体弹簧的升降。在这种气路开环方案中,由于需要把气压较低的空气加压至一定压强,压强变化较大,则需要的时间较长,车身的升降速度较慢。此外,由于需要对空气加压到一定压强,空气压缩机的功率需要较大,则噪声也较大。

具体实施方式
为了方便理解,本申请实施例提供的悬架系统及其控制方法和车辆。下面介绍一下其应用场景,目前,人们对于车辆行驶过程的舒适性要求越来越高,且需要满足安全性以及操纵性等需求。车辆的悬架系统则可以较好的提升车辆的舒适性,具体的,悬架系统连接于车辆的簧载质量与非簧载质量之间,上述簧载质量可以理解为车身,也就是用户所述的结构空间,非簧载质量可以理解为车轮等结构。特别对于主动空气悬架系统,利用气体弹簧和减振器形成上述空气悬架系统,控制器可以根据当前车辆的状态驱动气体弹簧和减振器工作,调整车辆的高度和减振器的阻尼。车辆在遇到连续坏路时,控制器可以控制驱动气体弹簧和减振器工作,调节簧载质量与非簧载质量之间的高度,使得簧载质量与非簧载质量之间达到设定的高度,同时减振器输出最优阻尼力,提升用户的舒适性。然而,现有技术中,为了解决气路开环方案中的噪声较大,响应速度较慢等问题,提出了气路闭环的方案。气路闭环的方案中,当前控制器、驱动器以及阀体等结构为一体结构,存在耦合度高、制造难度大,且成本高昂等问题。此外,控制器只能作为独立的控制器,用于控制悬 架系统,不利于整车的整合。
下面将结合附图,对本申请实施例进行详细描述。以下实施例中所使用的术语只是为了描述特定实施例的目的,而并非旨在作为对本申请的限制。如在本申请的说明书和所附权利要求书中所使用的那样,单数表达形式“一个”、“一种”、“所述”、“上述”、“该”和“这一”旨在也包括例如“一个或多个”这种表达形式,除非其上下文中明确地有相反指示。
在本说明书中描述的参考“一个实施例”或“具体的实施例”等意味着在本申请的一个或多个实施例中包括结合该实施例描述的特定特征、结构或特点。术语“包括”、“包含”、“具有”及它们的变形都意味着“包括但不限于”,除非是以其他方式另外特别强调。
图1为本申请实施例中车辆的一种结构示意图,图2为本申请实施例中车辆的一种悬架系统的连接示意图。如图1和图2所示,本申请提供的车辆包括车身100、轮轴300、车轮200和悬架系统,上述车轮200安装于轮轴300,悬架系统安装于轮轴300与车身100之间。具体的技术方案中,上述悬架系统包括悬架组件1、驱动器2、控制器3、压缩机4和气罐5。上述气罐5、压缩机4和悬架组件1依次通过通气管路串联,具体的,上述气罐5与压缩机4通过第一通气管路6连接,该第一通气管路6设置有第一开关阀7。上述压缩机4与悬架组件1通过第二通气管路8连接,该第二通气管路8设置有第二开关阀9。则第一开关阀7和第二开关阀9处于打开状态时,气罐5中的气体可以在压缩机4的作用下,依次经第一通气管路6、压缩机4和第二通气管路8流至悬架组件1,以驱动悬架组件1工作。
上述悬架组件1具体包括气体弹簧101和高度传感器103,压缩机4通过第二通气管路8具体与悬架组件1的气体弹簧101连接,从而控制气体弹簧101的高度,以使得车身100与车轮200之间的距离保持在设定范围,提升用户车辆运行过程中车身100的稳定性和舒适性。上述控制器3与驱动器2电连接,从而使得控制器3与驱动器2之间能够进行信号传输。此外,驱动器2还与压缩机4、第一开关阀7和第二开关阀9分别电连接,控制器3和高度传感器103电连接。控制器3用于接收高度传感器103的高度信号,根据上述高度信号生成控制信号,并将控制信号传递至驱动器2;驱动器2用于根据上述控制器3的控制信号驱动第一开关阀7打开或者关闭、控制第二开关阀9打开或者关闭,控制压缩机4向气体弹簧101传输气体或者停止传输气体。
上述悬架系统具体的应用过程中,高度传感器103随时检测车身100与车轴300之间的检测高度,以生成高度信号。控制器3可以接收上述高度传感器103的高度信号,控制器3将收到的高度信号与目标高度的目标信号对比,当检测高度小于目标高度时,确认需要调高车身100的高度,也就是需要对气体弹簧101充气,则控制器3生成的控制信号为充气信号,充气信号指示对气体弹簧101充气。图3为本申请实施例中车辆的悬架系统的一种充气过程示意图,如图3所示,控制器3将上述充气信号传递至驱动器2,驱动器2根据上述充气信号,驱动第一开关阀7和第二开关阀9打开,使得气体弹簧101与气罐5之间的通气管路导通。也就是说,第一通气管路6与第二通气管路8均导通。并且,驱动器2驱动压缩机4将气罐5中的气体运送至气体弹簧101,以对气体弹簧101充气。可以认为此工作状态下,压缩机4为正向运行。当高度传感器103检测到的检测高度与目标高度一致时,则控制器3控制驱动器2驱动上述第一开关阀7关闭、第二开关阀9关闭以及压缩机4停止运转,气体弹簧101的充气过程停止。
当检测高度大于目标高度时,确认需要调低车身100的高度,需要对气体弹簧101放气,则控制器3生成的控制信号为放气信号,放气信号指示对气体弹簧101放气。图4为本申请实施例中车辆的悬架系统的一种放气过程示意图,如图4所示,控制器3将上述放气信号传递至驱动器2,驱动器2根据上述放气信号,驱动第一开关阀7和第二开关阀9打开,使得气体弹簧101与气罐5之间的通气管路导通,也就是说,第一通气管路6与第二通气管路8均导通。并且,驱动器2驱动压缩机4将气体弹簧101中的气体运送至气罐5,以对气体弹簧101放气。可以认为此工作状态下,压缩机4为反向运行。当高度传感器103检测到的检测高度与目标高度一致时,则控制器3控制驱动器2驱动上述第一开关阀7关闭、第二开关阀9关闭以及压缩机4停止运转,气体弹簧101的放气过程停止。
本申请技术方案中,利用气罐5存储气体,压缩机4将气罐5中的气体运送至气体弹簧101,并将气体弹簧101内的气体放至气罐5中。该方案中,气体的压强变化较小,也就是说,气体的升压和降压的量较小。则充气和放气过程需要的时间较长,车身100升降的速度较快。且压缩机4需要的功率也较小,噪声和功耗都较小。此外,本申请技术方案中,控制器3、驱动器2以及第一开关阀7和第二开关阀9等结构,都是独立的结构。因此,可以分别制造和安装,成本较低。此外,上述控制器3除了用于控制悬架系统以外,还可以用于控制其它系统。
值得说明的是,上述控制器3接收高度传感器103的高度信号,可以使控制器3直接与高度传感器103连接,并接收上述高度信号。或者,还可以使驱动器2与高度传感器103连接,驱动器2获取上述高度信号,并将该高度信号传递至控制器3。也就是说,控制器3与高度传感器103电连接可以指控制器3与高度传感器103直接连接,也可以指控制器3通过驱动器2与高度传感器103连接。
具体的实施例中,上述悬架组件1还包括减振器102。上述驱动器2与减振器102连接,驱动器2用于根据上述控制器3的控制信号,控制减振器102调节阻尼力。具体的,可以在调节气体弹簧的高的同时调节上述减振器102的阻尼力。本申请技术方案中,减振器可以根据车辆实际运行情况调节阻尼力,从而提升用户乘坐的舒适性。
具体的实施例中,上述车辆包括多个系统,例如,车辆除了包括悬架系统以外,还可以包括刹车系统、转向系统或者辅助驾驶系统等多个系统。具体的实施例中,上述控制器3可以为系统控制器,也就是说,上述系统控制器可以仅仅用于控制悬架系统的工作,而与其它系统无关联。
另一种具体的实施例中,上述控制器3还可以为域控制器,该域控制器用于控制车辆的多个系统中的部分系统。也就是说,域控制器用于控制车辆的至少两个系统,而非控制车辆的全部系统。该方案中,有利于提升车辆的控制器3共用,实现控制器3上移,以减少车辆包括的系统控制器的总数。
再一种具体的实施例中,上述控制器3还可以为整车控制器,该整车控制器用于控制车辆的所有系统,以实现统一控制,满足目前车辆的发展需求。
图5为本申请实施例中车辆的另一种悬架系统的连接示意图。如图5所示,进一步的实施例中,上述压缩机4还连接有第三通气管路10,该第三通气管路10与外界大气连接,此外,上述第三通气管路10设置有第三开关阀11。具体工作过程中,控制器3可以接收补气指令,并根据补气指令控制上述第三开关阀11打开,并控制压缩机4将空气压缩后传输至上述气罐5。悬架系统在使用过程中,容易出现气体的缓慢泄漏,导致悬架系统内的 气体的总量较少。该方案中,悬架系统可以实现自补气,保持悬架系统内的气体总量充足,保证悬架系统的工作可靠性。
具体的实施例中,上述第一开关阀7为三通阀,三通阀的第一种工作状态下,使得气罐5与压缩机4的第一通气口连接,该第一通气孔口与气体弹簧101连通,用于对气体弹簧101充气或者放气。三通阀的第二种工作状态下,使得气罐5与压缩机4的第二通气口连接,该第二通气口与第三通气管路10连通,用于实现气罐5补气。三通阀的第三种工作状态下,就是三通阀处于关闭状态下,使得气罐5无法实现气体的流进或者流出。上述驱动器2与控制器3、压缩机4、压力传感器12、三通阀和第三开关阀11电连接,控制器3可以接收补气指令,并生成补气信号并将上述补气信号传递给驱动器2。驱动器2用于根据上述补气信号,控制三通阀处于上述第二种工作状态,并驱动第三开关阀11打开,驱动压缩机4将空气压缩后传输至气罐5,以实现悬架系统的补气。
具体对悬架系统进行补气时,可以用户主动进行补气。例如,可以使悬架系统的控制器3连接控制按钮,用户可以定期或者不定期的通过操作上述控制按钮,来向控制器3发送补气指令。控制器3接收上述控制按钮的补气指令,生成补气信号,并将上述补气信号传递给驱动器2,驱动器2根据上述补气信号,实现悬架系统的补气。
或者,另一种具体的实施例中,还可以使得控制器3定期对悬架系统进行补气,也就是说,控制器3定期生成补气信号,以控制驱动器2根据补气信号进行悬架系统的补气。
再或者,有一种具体的实施例中,上述悬架系统还可以包括压力传感器12,该压力传感器12与气罐5连接,可以用于检测气罐5内的压力,以判断是否需要补气。具体的,上述压力传感器12与控制器3电连接,控制器3用于获取压力传感器12的压力信号,并根据压力信号生成补气信号,并将补气信号传递至驱动器2。驱动器2根据上述控制器3的补气信号来驱动悬架系统自动进行补气。该方案可以实现悬架系统的自动补气,避免频繁的进行人工补气。
值得说明的是,上述控制器3接收压力传感器12的压力信号,可以使控制器3直接与压力传感器12连接,并接收上述压力信号。或者,还可以使驱动器2与压力传感器12连接,驱动器2获取上述压力信号,并将该压力信号传递至控制器3。也就是说,控制器3与压力传感器12电连接可以指控制器3与压力传感器12直接连接,也可以指控制器3通过驱动器2与压力传感器12连接。
具体的实施例中,上述悬架系统可以包括至少两个悬架组件1,每个悬架组件1中的气体弹簧101连接一个第二开关阀9。具体的技术方案中,可以使每个悬架组件1的第二开关阀9都为独立结构,便于对各个气体弹簧101进行控制。
每个悬架系统还对应设置一个驱动器2,具体设置每个悬架组件1的第二开关阀9和驱动器2时,可以使驱动器2与第二开关阀9靠近设置,以便于减短线束,便于布局悬架系统的走线。
具体的实施例中,所有的悬架组件1的第二开关阀9为一体结构,从而有利于减少悬架组件1的体积。
请参考图1,具体的实施例中,悬架系统包括四个悬架组件1,四个悬架组件1呈矩阵设置。该方案中,四个悬架组件1呈矩阵设置,就可以使得车辆的四个角都设置有悬架组件1,可以调节四个角的车身100的高度。具体的,四个悬架组件1无需同时驱动,可以根据对应的高度传感器103的信号,控制对应的气体弹簧101进行充气和放气,以提升 车辆的稳定性和舒适性。
具体的,车辆包括多个悬架组件1,且多个悬架组件1与车辆的车轮200一一对应设置,从而可以调节每个车轮200与车身100之间的高度,提升车辆的稳定性和舒适性。
基于相同的发明构思,本申请还提供了一种悬架系统的控制方法,该悬架系统具体指的是上述任一实施例中的悬架系统。图6为本申请实施例中悬架系统的控制方法流程图,如图6所示,该控制方法具体包括以下步骤:
步骤S101、接收高度传感器的高度信号;
该高度传感器可以随时检测车身与车轴之间的检测高度,在车辆行驶过程中,需要使车身与车轴之间的高度维持在一定的水平,才可以使车辆的形式状态较为稳定。
步骤S102、将高度信号与目标高度比较;当高度信号小于目标高度时,执行步骤S103,当高度信号大于目标高度时,执行步骤S104,当高度信号等于目标高度时,执行步骤S105;
当高度信号小于目标高度时,认为车身与车轴之间的高度过低,需要增加气体弹簧的高度,使得车身与车轴之间的高度满足目标高度;当高度信号大于目标高度时,认为车身与车轴之间的高度过高,需要降低气体弹簧的高度,使得车身与车轴之间的高度满足目标高度。值得说明的是:上述目标高度可以为一个具体高度值,也可以为高度范围值,高度信号等于目标高度指的就是高度信号位于上述高度范围值内。
步骤S103、控制第一开关阀和第二开关阀打开,控制压缩机正转驱动气罐中的气体流向气体弹簧;使得气体弹簧的高度增加,提高车身与车轴之间的高度。
步骤S104、控制第一开关阀和第二开关阀打开,控制压缩机反转驱动气体弹簧中的气体流向气罐;使得气体弹簧的高度降低,降低车身与车轴之间的高度。
步骤S105、控制第一开关阀和第二开关阀关闭;使得气体弹簧的高度维持不变,进而使得车身与车轴之间的高度维持不变。
上述控制过程,可以实现车辆的悬架系统自动调节车身与车轴之间的高度,以提升车辆运行过程中的稳定性。
上述压缩机还可以连接有第三通气管路,该第三通气管路与外界大气连接,从而压缩机工作可以将大气内的空气压缩传输至气罐,从而为气罐补气。具体的补气控制方法为:接收补气信号,根据上述补气信号控制第一开关阀和第三开关阀打开,控制压缩机将空气压缩后传输至气罐。无需补气时,第三开关阀关闭,使得悬架系统内的气体保持在内部循环,不会从第三通气管路泄漏。该技术方案中,悬架系统可以自动进行补气,从而保持悬架系统内的气体量足够保持正常工作。
具体的实施例中,上述补气信号的触发方式不做限制,例如,可以使悬架系统的控制器连接控制按钮,用户可以定期或者不定期的通过操作上述控制按钮,来向控制器发送补气信号指令。控制器接收上述控制按钮的补气指令,生成补气信号,根据上述补气信号实现悬架系统的补气。或者,还可以使得控制器定期对悬架系统进行补气,也就是说,控制器定期生成补气信号,以根据补气信号进行悬架系统的补气。
再或者,上述悬架系统还可以包括压力传感器,该压力传感器与气罐连接,用于检测气罐内的压力。则上述控制方法还包括获取压力传感器检测的压力,当上述压力小于设定压力时,认为气罐内的气体不足,生成补气信号;根据补气信号控制第一开关阀和第三开关阀打开,控制压缩机将空气压缩后传输至气罐。该方案中,可以根据气罐内的气体实际情况,当发现气罐内的气体不足时,可以随时进行补气,以保证悬架系统的工作可靠性, 且不会出现无用的补气操作。
显然,本领域的技术人员可以对本申请进行各种改动和变型而不脱离本申请的保护范围。这样,倘若本申请的这些修改和变型属于本申请权利要求及其等同技术的范围之内,则本申请也意图包含这些改动和变型在内。
