Level regulator for automotive vehicles

摘要

A digital or analogue regulator circuit for activating a pump or pressure reducing valve, whose action respectively raises and lowers the body of a vehicle relative to the rear axle, each operating with a time delay so that temporary level changes will not initiate a regulatory process. Feedback circuits provide hysteresis. In both embodiments, level changes are represented by changes in the collector potential of a transistor and positive and negative feedback are provided to the base of the transistor to create the hysteresis or dead zone. In the digital embodiment, a counter generates the delay and the negative feedback.
