摘要:
In order to ensure riding comfort and driving stability in an automotive suspension system, the nature of the effect of the damping force generated by the suspension system is observed. When the damping characteristics of the suspension system are too hard, resulting in amplification of vibrations in the suspension system, the damping characteristics are softened to ensure satisfactory riding comfort. Therefore, according to the present invention, an automotive suspension system has variable damping characteristics which depend on the nature of the damping force produced in response to bounding and/or rebounding motion of the vehicle so as to optimize damping characteristics to achieve both riding comfort and driving stability. In the preferred embodiment, a suspension control system uses the vibration frequency of a sprung mass and the relative speed between the sprung mass and an unsprung mass as control parameters representing the nature of damping force.

A seat suspension is provided that has a damper unit which is connected between the seat and the chassis on which the seat is mounted. The damper can be switched between soft and hard settings. The damper switching is controlled based on the relative position of the seat and one of the relative or absolute velocity of the seat. When the seat and the chassis are moving in the same direction the damper is set to soft, (producing a low damping effect), while when the seat and chassis are moving in opposite directions the damper is switched to hard (producing a high damping effect).

摘要:
A suspension control system for an automotive vehicle automatically adjusts the damping strength of variable shock absorbers or other dampers in accordance with road surface conditions as recognized by frequency analysis of a vehicle height or vibration sensor signal. The sensor signal reflects vertical displacement of the vehicle body from the road surface and includes high-frequency components due solely to displacement of the wheels or unsprung mass relative to the road surface and low-frequency components due to displacement of the vehicle body or sprung mass. The sensor signal is filtered into these separate frequency bands and the amplitude of each is compared to a corresponding reference level to give an indication of the irregularities in the road surface. Specifically, a high-amplitude low-frequency component indicates large-scale bumps and dips capable of bouncing the vehicle whereas a strong high-frequency component reflects a rough-textured road surface, such as gravel. The comparison information is sent to a suspension system controller which causes actuation of the shock absorbers to a hard mode of operation when the low-frequency sensor signal components are relatively strong.

A mechanism for supporting a head carriage provided with a magnetic head to magnetically record still image information or the like into a magnetic disc or reproduce such information therefrom. In the support mechanism, the two ends of a lead screw having a threaded portion almost in the center portion thereof are respectively received by two bearings each having two, substantially perpendicularly intersecting surfaces, and the head carriage, which can be guided and moved by the lead screw, is also provided with two, substantially perpendicularly intersecting surfaces touchable with a shaft of the lead screw. By energizing the head carriage in a given direction by a spring, the head carriage's two intersecting surfaces can be brought into contact with the lead screw, and the lead screw can be brought into contact with the intersecting surfaces of the respective bearings.
