Description

자동차의 지오메트리 제어장치{Geometry control system for vehicle}Geometry control system for vehicle

본 발명은 차량의 현가장치에 관한 것으로, 특히 차량의 주행속도, 저마찰 노면이나 급격한 노면상태 변화, 선회시 횡방향의 저항력을 감안하여 캠버 각 및 토우 각을 능동적으로 제어하여 주행안정성을 확보하도록 한 자동차의 지오메트리 제어장치에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a suspension device for a vehicle, and particularly, to actively control a camber angle and a toe angle in consideration of a driving speed of a vehicle, a low friction road surface or a sudden change in road conditions, and a resistance in the lateral direction during turning to ensure driving stability. It relates to the geometry control of a vehicle.

일반적으로, 차량의 현가장치는 승차감 및 주행안정성을 도모하기 위한 중요한 장치로써, 주로 차체를 차륜으로부터 안정적으로 지지하면서 차륜으로부터 제공되는 진동을 억제하거나 또는 신속하게 감소시키는 기능을 수행하게 된다.In general, the suspension of the vehicle is an important device for achieving ride comfort and running stability, and mainly serves to stably support the vehicle body from the wheel while suppressing or rapidly reducing the vibration provided from the wheel.

이와 같은 현가장치에는 차륜을 차체에 연결하고 아울러 지지하는 기능을 수행하는 로어암이 사용되는데, 상기 로어암은 개의 단부를 갖도록 구성되며, 또한 각각의 단부에는 차체마운팅부시(A부시)와 지오메트리부시(G부시) 및 볼조인트가 결합되는 차체마운팅부시 커넥터와 지오메트리부시 커넥터 및 볼조인트 커넥터가 일체로 구비된다.In the suspension device, a lower arm is used to connect and support the wheel to the vehicle body, and the lower arm is configured to have four ends, and at each end, a vehicle mounting bushing (A bushing) and a geometric bushing. The body mounting bushing connector, the (G bushing) and the ball joint, the geometry bushing connector and the ball joint connector are integrally provided.

여기서, 상기 차체마운팅부시 및 지오메트리부시는 각각의 결합수단을 통해 차체프레임과 연결되도록 결합되고, 상기 볼조인트는 차륜의 너클과 결합되어 어퍼암과 함께 차륜을 지지하게 된다.Here, the body mounting bushing and the geometry bushing are coupled to the body frame through the respective coupling means, the ball joint is coupled to the knuckle of the wheel to support the wheel with the upper arm.

그런데 토우 인은 자동차 앞바퀴에서 앞쪽이 뒤쪽보다 좁게되도록 경사지게 배치한 것으로, 이것은 앞바퀴에 캠버가 주어져 주행중에 바퀴가 차체의 바깥쪽으로 향하려는 경향, 특히 사이드 슬립현상이 나타나기 때문에 이러한 토우 아웃화 현상을 방지하기 위한 것이다.However, the toe-in is inclined so that the front side of the car is narrower than the rear side, and this is prevented because the camber is given to the front wheel and the wheel tends to move outwards, especially side slip, during driving. It is to.

또한, 토우 인의 각도변화에 따라 자동차 코너링 특성에 변화가 나타나게 되며, 즉 차속을 크게 감소시킨 상태에서 코너링을 해야 하는데 그 이유는 사이드 슬립현상에 의해 차량 코너링시 이론적 회전반경보다 더 크게 나타나게 되기 때문이며 이때에는 토우 인 값을 작게 하고, 가급적 속도를 덜 감속하고도 원활한 코너링을 할 수 있도록 하기 위해서는 토우 인 값을 크게 할 필요가 있다.In addition, a change in the cornering characteristics of the vehicle is caused by the change of the angle of the toe-in. That is, the cornering should be performed in a state in which the vehicle speed is greatly reduced because the side slip phenomenon causes the vehicle to appear larger than the theoretical turning radius when cornering the vehicle. The toe-in value needs to be small, and the toe-in value needs to be increased in order to enable smooth cornering even if the speed is lowered.

상기한 바와 같은 차량의 주행시 타이어에 전후 방향의 충격이 발생되어 이 힘이 너클을 통해 상기 로워암에 전달되면, 로워암은 상기 A점을 축으로 하여 궤적을 그리면서 움직이게 되므로 상기 G점부시에서는 변형이 발생되게 된다.When the vehicle is traveling as described above, when the front and rear shocks are generated to the tire and the force is transmitted to the lower arm through the knuckle, the lower arm moves while drawing the trajectory about the A point as the G point bush. Deformation will occur.

따라서, 상기 타이어의 전후 방향 충격은 대부분 G점부시가 흡수해야 하는 구조인데, 그 흡수범위에는 한계가 있고 단지 상기한 바와 같은 G점부시의 변형에서 발생되는 미소한 감쇠력만이 존재하게 되어 차량의 진동 및 충격흡수성능의 개선에 한계가 있었다.Therefore, the front and rear impact of the tire is a structure that most G point bushes have to absorb, but the absorption range is limited and only a small damping force generated by the deformation of the G point bushes as described above exists. There was a limit to the improvement of vibration and shock absorption performance.

더구나 이러한 기능을 적절히 조절하는, 예컨대 자동차의 선회시에는 승차감 보다 안정성을 확보하는 유연한 제어가 요구되지만 기계식 현가장치로는 이러한 가변적 조건을 만족시키기 어렵다.Moreover, flexible control is required to properly adjust such functions, for example, when turning a car, to ensure stability rather than ride comfort, but mechanical suspensions are difficult to satisfy such variable conditions.

본 발명은 이러한 종래의 문제점을 해결하고자 하는 것으로, 차량의 주행속도, 저마찰 노면이나 급격한 노면 변화 상태, 선회시 횡방향의 저항력을 감안하여 캠버 각 및 토우 각을 능동적으로 제어하여 주행안정성을 확보하고자 자동차의 지오메트리 제어장치를 제공하고자 하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention is to solve such a conventional problem, by securing the driving stability by actively controlling the camber angle and toe angle in consideration of the driving speed of the vehicle, low friction road or sudden road change state, the resistance in the lateral direction during turning The purpose of the present invention is to provide a geometry control device for a vehicle.

본 발명의 목적을 달성하기 위한 자동차의 지오메트리 제어장치는, 어퍼판넬과 로워판넬로 구성되어 일체로 용접되는 로워암본체와, 로워암본체의 단부에 각각의 결합수단을 통해 차체프레임과 연결되도록 차체마운팅부시 및 지오메트리부시가 결합되는 차체마운팅부시 커넥터 및 지오메트리부시 커넥터와, 휠 및 차륜에 의하여 차량의 주행정보를 입력받아 차륜의 캠버 각과 토우 각을 제어하는 제어부(ECU)와, 로워암본체 내에 장착하여 제어부의 신호를 받아 작동되는 액츄에이터와, 액츄에이터의 작동에 따라 요동시켜 캠버 각과 토우 각을 조절하도록 차륜의 너클과 결합되어 어퍼암과 함께 차륜을 지지하도록 볼조인트에 결합되는 볼조인트 커넥터로 구성한 것이 본 발명의 기본적인 특징이다.The geometry control apparatus of a vehicle for achieving the object of the present invention, the lower arm body consisting of an upper panel and a lower panel welded integrally, and the vehicle body to be connected to the vehicle body frame through the respective coupling means at the end of the lower arm body Body mounting bushing connector and geometry bushing connector combined with mounting bushing and geometry bushing, control unit (ECU) that receives the driving information of the vehicle by wheel and wheel, and controls the camber angle and toe angle of the wheel, and is mounted in the lower arm body And a ball joint connector coupled to the ball joint to support the wheel together with the upper knuckle of the wheel to adjust the camber angle and the toe angle by oscillating according to the operation of the actuator. It is a basic feature of the present invention.

상기 제어부는 차량의 속도, RPM, 휠스피드, YAWING 등 차량의 주행정보를 센서를 통해서 입력받아 액츄에이터를 제어하므로써 차량의 캠버 각 및 토우 각을 조절하여 저속 선회 및 고속 직진 주행시 범프 토우 각을 작게 하여 직진 주행성을 향상시키고, 고속 선회 및 횡풍시 범프 토우 각을 크게 하여 횡방향 주행 안정성을 향상시키도록 한다.The control unit receives the driving information of the vehicle such as the speed, RPM, wheel speed, YAWING of the vehicle through the sensor and controls the actuator to adjust the camber angle and the toe angle of the vehicle to reduce the bump toe angle during low speed turning and high speed straight driving. In order to improve the straight running performance and to increase the bump toe angle during high speed turning and transverse wind, the transverse driving stability is improved.

상기 액츄에이터는 피스톤을 이용하는 유압 액츄에이터 또는 스크류우를 이용하는 전기모터 액츄에이터를 사용한다.The actuator uses a hydraulic actuator using a piston or an electric motor actuator using a screw.

상기 볼조인트 커넥터의 요동수단은, 볼조인트 커넥터의 중간부를 연장되게 돌출시켜 그 끝단부를 로워암본체에 축핀으로 조립하여 볼조인트 커넥터의 일단은 액츄에이터의 작동에 의하여 가압받도록 하며 타단은 너클을 가압하여 캠버 각과 토우 각을 조절하도록 하며, 작동시 볼조인트 커넥터의 뒤틀림을 방지하도록 로워암본체에 축핀의 회전반경으로 원호형의 안내홈을 형성하고 그 안내홈을 따라 볼조인트 커넥터가 자연스럽게 축핀을 중심으로 회동하도록 안내하는 안내돌기를 볼조인트 커넥터에 돌출형성하며, 상기 안내홈과 안내돌기는 슬라이딩시 간섭하지 않고 뒤틀림을 방지하도록 2곳에 설치하는 것이 바람직하고, 특히 안내돌기의 끝단에 환턱을 형성하여 로워암본체의 표면에 걸리도록 하므로써 더욱 확실한 뒤틀림을 방지할 수가 있다. The oscillating means of the ball joint connector protrudes to extend the middle portion of the ball joint connector, and its end is assembled to the lower arm body by the shaft pin so that one end of the ball joint connector is pressed by the operation of the actuator and the other end presses the knuckle. To adjust the camber angle and toe angle, and to prevent twisting of the ball joint connector during operation, an arc-shaped guide groove is formed on the lower arm body by the rotation radius of the shaft pin, and the ball joint connector naturally follows the shaft pin along the guide groove. Guide protrusions for guiding rotation are formed on the ball joint connector, and the guide grooves and the guide protrusions are preferably installed in two places so as not to be distorted without interference during sliding, and particularly, by forming a lower jaw at the end of the guide protrusion It is possible to prevent the warping more reliably by being caught on the surface of the arm body .
