Automatic trailer body height and body balance adjusting method based on air suspension
Technical Field
The present invention relates to an automatic adjustment method for trailer body height and body balance, and more particularly, to an automatic adjustment method for trailer body height and body balance based on an air suspension for performing height and balance adjustment of a trailer body according to detected load, vehicle speed, body balance state, and road surface condition.
Background
In GB7258-2017 motor vehicle operation safety technical conditions, the contents that a rear axle of a dangerous cargo transport truck with the total mass of more than or equal to 12000kg, all dangerous cargo transport semitrailers and three-axle railing type and bin grid type semitrailers are required to be provided with air suspensions are added, so that the replacement of leaf spring suspension by the air suspensions is necessary in the industry.
The mainstream technical scheme in the current market is as follows: the air spring suspension system realizes the stability of the height of the vehicle body when the load of the trailer changes by means of the height valve for detecting the height of the vehicle body. Meanwhile, a controllable lifting valve is generally installed for adjusting the height of the whole vehicle in order to adjust the height of the vehicle under different load conditions and improve the trafficability of the trailer. Also, the trailer train may employ multiple axles in order to increase the load while reducing the weight carried by a single axle. When the trailer runs, the higher the height of the trailer body is, the better the shock-absorbing effect of the air suspension air bag is, but the stability of the trailer is reduced. Therefore, the height of the vehicle body needs to be matched with the driving speed, the load, the road condition and the like, and the optimal matching of the height of the vehicle body, the speed and the load is realized on the premise that the trailer has good stability and safe driving. Meanwhile, whether the body of the trailer is balanced or not has great influence on safe driving, and particularly for the trailer with large load, if the body of the trailer is seriously unbalanced, the trailer can be caused to roll over. However, no method for automatically adjusting the height and the balance of the trailer body exists at present.
