Abstract: Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Liften und Senken einer Fahrzeugachse (10), insbesondere einer Vorlauf - und Nachlaufachse von Nutzfahrzeugen wie LKW oder Bussen, die oben über einen Dreieckslenker (21) und unten über Längslenker (22) an einem Fahrzeugrahmen (17, 18, 19) angelenkt und mittels Federn und Stoßdämpfern gegenüber diesem abgestützt ist, wobei zum Liften und Senken der Fahrzeugachse (10, 30) ein Liftbalg (13) vorgesehen ist, der unten an einem rahmenfesten Liftbalgträger (16) und oben mittelbar gegenüber der liftbaren Fahrzeugachse (10, 30) abgestützt ist. Bisher sind solche Liftbalge häufig an Lenkern, wie beispielsweise an Dreieckslenkem angebunden, wodurch ungünstige Hebelarmverhältnisse geschaffen werden. Daraus resultieren hohe Luftdrücke im einen Liftbalg und eine Knickgefahr für den einen Liftbalg, wodurch die Lebensdauer und die Funktion des einen Liftbalges erheblich eingeschränkt werden. Die Erfindung hat deshalb die Aufgabe, die Lebensdauer des einen Liftbalgs zu erhöhen und seine Funktion störungsfrei sicherzustellen. Deshalb ist der eine Liftbalg (13) oben an einem an der liftbaren Fahrzeugachse (10, 30) befestigten Halter (14) abgestützt.

Abstract: An electro-hydraulic circuit of an actuator (1) for a motorcycle stand, operated by an actuating member (7) movable between a first and a second position, for example a cylinder piston or a hydraulic motor, said actuator having a first mouth (1a) for a liquid passage and a second mouth (1b) for a liquid passage, for moving the actuating member (7) between said positions. The first and second mouth (1a and 1b) are associated to two different branches (15 and 15') of the hydraulic circuit. Each branch (15, 15') has a respective flow control valve (16 and 16') and is selectively fed of liquid in pressure. The propulsion of liquid is carried out by a motor (12) that feeds a reversible pump (13), which can rotate in one of the two directions indicated by the arrows, and this way gives pressure to one of the branches (15 or 15'). The flow of liquid in pressure, then, achieves selectively the flow control valve (16 or 16') and feeds the respective mouth of the actuator (15a, 15'a). When instead the flow through the duct (25) stops, because the actuating member (7) is to a limit stop, or because there is an desired or accidental interruption of the motor (12), the oil can liberally discharge with a flow of back stroke through the duct (25 or 25'), the second outlet (25a or 25'a) and the first outlet (21) or the inlet (15a, 15'a), allowing the stand to move as if the actuator (1) does not exist.

Abstract: A drive control device (120) is provided with an acceleration computing section (122), an actual acceleration detecting section (124), a generator output computing section (126), a determining section (128), and a voltage increasing section (130). The acceleration computing section (122) computes the acceleration requested by the driver based on the accelerator position. The actual acceleration detecting section (124) detects the actual acceleration of the vehicle. The generator output computing section (126) computes the target motor torque based on the acceleration requested by the driver and then computes the generator output corresponding to the target motor torque. The determining section (128) determines if the actual acceleration is deficient in comparison with the acceleration requested by the driver or if the generator output is deficient in comparison with the acceleration requested by the driver. The voltage increasing section (130) increases the voltage supplied to the electric generator (7) from a vehicle mounted electric power source (140) when the determining section (128) determines that the actual acceleration or the generator output is deficient. As a result, the generator output deficiency is eliminated and the required motor torque is produced, thereby enabling the vehicle to start into motion appropriately in accordance with the acceleration requested by the driver.
