VEHICLE HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18526651 titled 'VEHICLE HEIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM
The vehicle height control system described in the patent application consists of an arm connected to the vehicle body and wheel, a bearing unit fixed to the vehicle body, a crank connected to the bearing unit, a push rod linking the crank to the arm, and a spring reaction force variable device attached to the bearing unit to adjust the reaction force applied to the crank.
- The system includes an arm that connects the vehicle body to the wheel.
- A bearing unit is fixed to the vehicle body to support the system.
- A crank is coupled to the bearing unit to facilitate movement.
- A push rod connects the crank to the arm for coordinated action.
- A spring reaction force variable device is used to adjust the force applied to the crank.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in vehicles to automatically adjust the height based on road conditions. - It can enhance stability and control in off-road vehicles. - The system can improve aerodynamics by adjusting the vehicle height for optimal performance.
Problems Solved: - Provides a solution for maintaining consistent vehicle height in varying terrains. - Enhances overall vehicle performance and safety. - Offers a more efficient way to control vehicle height compared to manual adjustments.
Benefits: - Improved stability and control. - Enhanced safety on different road surfaces. - Increased efficiency and performance of the vehicle.
Commercial Applications: Title: "Automated Vehicle Height Control System for Enhanced Performance" This technology can be utilized in off-road vehicles, luxury cars, and commercial trucks to improve handling and safety. The market implications include increased demand for vehicles equipped with advanced height control systems.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the spring reaction force variable device contribute to the overall functionality of the system? 2. What are the potential cost implications of implementing this automated height control system in vehicles?
Original Abstract Submitted
A vehicle height control system includes an arm including a first end portion connected to a vehicle body and a second end portion coupled to a wheel, a bearing unit fixed to the vehicle body, a crank coupled to the bearing unit, a push rod including a first end portion connected to the crank and a second end portion connected to the arm, and a spring reaction force variable device coupled to the bearing unit and configured to vary reaction force applied to the crank.
