Abstract:

The traditional cab pitching?plane dynamics model doesn't consider the effects of swing arm guiding mechanism in cab mount, and can only roughly calculate the cab's vertical and pitching responses, but can't analyze its longitudinal vibration characteristics, thus its accuracy is relatively low with limited real engineering application. To enhance the model accuracy and widen its application scope, a cab pitching?plane dynamics model considering the constraint of guiding swing arm is established, and the constraint characteristics of swing arm guiding mechanism are analyzed. On this basis, the dynamics model constructed is verified by road test. The results show that the model constructed has higher accuracy and wider engineering application range, it can more effectively reproduce the real dynamic responses of cab system. Furthermore, the model can be used not only for the analysis of the cab's vertical, pitching, and longitudinal vibration characteristics, but also for the development of the cab mount control strategies considering the cab's longitudinal vibration comfort, as well as for the estimation of the swing angles of guiding arm and shock absorber, and other dynamics parameters of the cab mount system etc.
