Abstract:

In order to solve the problem of poor ride comfort of off-road vehicle on complex roads, an air spring is added on the original suspension of an off-road vehicle to form a novel compound suspension structure in this paper. Firstly, for exploring the vibration mechanism of the suspension system of off-road vehicle, through the idealized structure analysis on the air spring and the original suspension system, a compound suspension system model incorporating air spring and coil spring in parallel is constructed. Then, according to the driving requirements of off-road vehicles, a new control strategy for switching working mode is proposed with its effectiveness verified and the control system of compound suspension improved. Finally, taking the complex road surface as the working condition of the compound suspension, with the vertical acceleration of vehicle body, the dynamic travel of suspension and the dynamic deformation of tire as evaluation indicators, the influences of the complex road surface on the ride comfort and road friendliness of the compound suspension are analyzed. The results show that with complex road surface, the off-road vehicle with compound suspension system has better ride comfort than that with traditional suspension, and the wear and tear problem of air spring in normal driving is also effectively solved.

Key words: off-road vehicles, compound suspension system, ride comfort, working mode switching control strategy
