Embodiment Construction

[0031] figure 1 A tilting vehicle 10 of one embodiment of the invention is shown. The vehicle 10 has a frame 12 that can be manually or freely tilted laterally between two laterally spaced front wheels 14 . Vehicle 10 also has figure 1 Invisible motor drives the rear wheels. The two front wheels 14 are steerable by means of a handlebar 16 which is connected to (in figure 1 not visible in ) the steering assembly is arranged between the frame 12 and the two front wheels 14 . The vehicle 10 also has a suspension assembly that includes two laterally spaced suspension struts 18 (one of which is figure 1 ), the two suspension struts are arranged between the steering assembly and the two front wheels 14 .

[0032] The lateral tilt linkage mechanism 20 is disposed between the steering assembly and the suspension assembly. refer to figure 2 , the transverse tilt linkage mechanism 20 includes an upper beam 22 and a lower beam 24 , which are hinged together by a central link 26 ....

Abstract

The invention relates to a tilting vehicle (10) including a frame (12) freely tiltable transversely between at least two spaced wheels (14, 114), at least one variable damper (28, 30, 148) with adjustable damping force operatively connected between the frame (12) and the two wheels (14, 114), at least one sensor to generate signals indicative of transverse tilting of the frame (12) relative to a central vertical plane of the vehicle, and a controller in communication with the at least one variable damper (28, 30, 148) and the at least one sensor. The controller is configured to vary transverse damping by the at least one variable damper (28, 30, 148) in accordance with the signals generated by the at least one sensor to passively provide transverse tilt stability to the frame (12) through the force generated in the damper in the opposite direction of the damper movement. The invention suggests to transversly damp a freely tiltable frame in accordance to a damping state for enhancing driving security and comfort of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tilt control for a tilting vehicle. Background technique [0002] Tilting vehicles are subject to lateral overturning due to lateral forces such as side wind forces, lateral gravity components, and centrifugal forces. Active tilt control systems have been proposed to prevent lateral rollover. Such systems typically include lateral actuators for forcing the vehicle to tilt laterally to counteract lateral forces acting on the vehicle. Some existing solutions include mechanical brakes on or off, manual tilt control. This solution is usually just a plausibility check, which does not include any sensors to measure inclination or pitch velocity, and which can be initiated manually or by using a plausibility check, e.g. . Active tilt control systems are complex and expensive. [0003] What is needed is a solution to the above difficulties. Contents of the invention [0004] According to a first aspect of the present inventio...
