Automatic Leveling and Shock Reduction System
The challenge in various aspects of transport vehicles and the need to reduce shock and vibration are two factors motivating the development of an automatic leveling and shock reduction system. A system of this type greatly enhances the capability of a vehicle and preserves the integrity of its drivetrain and other components over a long service life.
A key component of an automatic leveling and shock reduction system is the suspension system. This system is responsible for supporting the mass of the vehicle and absorbing any shock and vibration transmitted from the surface of the road. A good suspension system will reduce the amount of shock transmitted to the vehicle’s occupants, reduce the burdensome effort for the driver to maintain directional control, and reduce the risk of mechanical failures or damage caused by extreme shock and vibration.
The main type of suspension commonly used in transport vehicles today is the spring suspension. This type of suspension is typically made up of steel coil springs, hydraulic shock absorbers, and rubber bushings. The shock absorbers are mounted in order to dampen any sudden shocks or vibrations that may be encountered, while the steel coils provide a cushioning effect as the vehicle travels along the surface of the road.
The bushings are responsible for limiting the amount of extreme flexing of the suspension components. They also allow for adjustments in the suspension geometry which can affect the ride and handling of the vehicle.
The next component commonly used in an automatic leveling and shock reduction system is an active suspension. This type of system utilizes electronics to adjust the suspension geometry of the vehicle to respond to different driving conditions. This type of system is not only beneficial in reducing the levels of shock and vibration transmitted through the suspension system, but it also greatly reduces the amount of effort required for the driver to maintain directional control as the vehicle traverses various surfaces and terrain.
An active suspension system is typically made up of a series of sensors that monitor the position and speed of the vehicle, and an actuator that is programmed to adjust the suspension according to the data received from the sensors. This type of system is also capable of adjusting for changes in the surface of the road or terrain, and can be set to respond to extreme shocks or vibrations if needed.
The last component of an automatic leveling and shock reduction system is the hydraulic leveling system. This type of system uses hydraulic pumps and valves to adjust the suspension geometry of the vehicle. This system is beneficial in that it allows for precise adjustments of the suspension geometry in order to provide the best ride and handling characteristics, while also providing cushioning against any sudden shocks or vibrations encountered.
The combination of a spring suspension and an active suspension, combined with a hydraulic leveling system, can provide a very effective shock reduction and leveling system for vehicles. The system is also very adaptable, allowing for easy calibration and adjustments to meet the needs of different driving conditions. This type of system is an essential component in providing enhanced performance and durability for any transport vehicle.
