Motor vehicle suspension with skyhook active vibration dampers - suppresses wheel vibration by damping with linear relationship to three significant vertical velocities with constant coeffts.

摘要

A spring (3) and an actively or semiactively controlled vibration damper (4) are connected in parallel between each wheel (2) and the bodywork (1). The damper is controlled by a microprocessor regulator (6) in accordance with they skyhook principle. An active vibration suppressor (5) coupled mechanically to the wheel consists of a resiliently suspended mass (51) with a spring (52) and damper (53) connected to another microprocessor regulator (7) which responds to signals denoting various vehicular operational parameters. ADVANTAGE - Ride comfort and safety are enhanced with damping force related linearly to excitation rate and vertical velocities of the wheel and damper.
