METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DAMPING VIBRATIONS

摘要

The invention relates to a method for damping vibrations on chassis bearings of motor vehicles and a device for carrying out said method. The aim of the invention is to create a method and a device which allow for excellent vibration damping, vibration isolation, and noise insulation across a large frequency range while taking into account driving modes occurring in motor vehicles and roadway conditions. Said aim is achieved by detecting the driving mode of the motor vehicle and/or the roadway conditions via sensors while the at least one chassis bearing is modified regarding different characteristics according to the detected parameters in order to change the stiffness and/or damping thereof. The inventive device comprises sensors for detecting the driving mode of the motor vehicle and the roadway conditions, an electronic control device for processing the detected signals and selecting different controllable characteristics, and at least one chassis bearing, the stiffness and/or damping of which can be modified.
