Description
Allgemeines.General.
Moderne Fahrräder werden wie Kraftfahrzeuge zur Erhöhung der Fahrsicherheit und des Komforts mit Feder-Dämpferelementen an der Vorderradwie auch Hinterradführungen ausgestattet. Die für Fahrräder durch das Einbringen der Antriebskraft über Kurbelarme als ungleichmäßig großes Drehmoment entstehenden Nickbewegungen und Interaktionen von Antrieb und Federsystemen werden auf unterschiedlichste Weise versucht zu reduzieren.modern Cycles be like motor vehicles to increase driving safety and comfort with spring-damper elements equipped on the front wheel as well as rear wheel guides. The for bikes through the introduction of the driving force via crank arms as unevenly large torque resulting pitching motions and interactions of the drive and spring systems are trying in many different ways to reduce.
Die Anforderungen an die Fahrwerke von Fahrrädern sowie dies bezügliche Ausführungen sind in einer großen Zahl von Veröffentlichungen und wissenschaftliche Arbeiten [z.B. 1,5] und Patenten insbesondere für Kraftfahrzeuge ausführlich beschrieben. Zu den Anforderungen gehörten und gehören sowohl höherer Fahrkomfort, als auch erhöhte Fahrsicherheit. Dabei wird im Bereich des Sports eine erreichte höhere Fahrsicherheit i.a. umgehend für höhere Geschwindigkeiten genutzt. Die erwähnten Forderungen sind relativ unspezifisch. Sie werden im weiteren Verlauf der hier beschriebenen Neuerung für Zweiräder (wie das Fahrrad) genauer definiert. Die genannten Forderungen wurden auch in der Vergangenheit durch bessere Radführungen, gute Federungen mit dazugehörigen Dämpfungen sowie Verminderung der Spitzenlasten auf umgebende Bauteile erreicht. Die vorgestellte Neuerung soll die Vorteile einer sicheren und komfortablen Federung mit dem Vorteil einer nickfreien ungefederten Lösung verbinden.The Requirements for the chassis of bicycles and related versions are in a big one Number of publications and scientific papers [e.g. 1.5] and patents in particular for motor vehicles in detail described. The requirements included and are both higher Ride comfort, as well as increased Driving safety. This is achieved in the field of sports one higher Driving safety i.a. promptly for higher Speeds used. The mentioned demands are relative nonspecific. They will be described later Innovation for Bikes (like the bike) defined more precisely. The mentioned demands were also in the past by better wheel guides, good suspensions with associated losses and reducing peak loads on surrounding components. The presented innovation is intended to provide the benefits of a safe and comfortable Connect suspension with the benefit of a nickfreie unsprung solution.
Für die Abstimmung eines Feder-Dämpfersystems können die gewünschten Eigenschaften Komfort, Fahrsicherheit, reaktionsfreier Antrieb nur als suboptimales System erzielt werden. So wird bei Erhöhung der Dämpfung zwar die Neigung zu Nickbewegungen reduziert, das Ansprechverhalten und damit der Komfort aber auch verschlechtert.For the vote a spring-damper system can the desired Features comfort, driving safety, non-reactive drive only as suboptimal system can be achieved. So will increase the damping while reducing the tendency to pitching, the response and thus the comfort but also worsened.
Das Ziel für eine Optimierung der Dämpfungseigenschaften ist es, in der jeweiligen Fahrsituation die Dämpfung an die äußeren Bedingungen anzupassen.The Goal for an optimization of the damping properties is it, in the respective driving situation, the damping to the external conditions adapt.
Eine Möglichkeit, diese Optimierung vorzunehmen wird von dem US-Bikehersteller Spezialized mit dem System „brain" realisiert [4]. Hier wird durch ein Massenträgheitsventil, welches durch Beschleunigung des Hinterrades bei Auftreffen auf ein Hindernis aktiviert wird, die Druckstufendämpfung reduziert, um das Ansprechverhalten zu verbessern. Ohne Fahrbahnunebenheiten wird das System wieder überdämpft, um Nickbewegungen zu unterdrücken. Der Nachteil dieses Systems ist, dass es zur Aktivierung diesen „Initialstoß" benötigt, der jedoch praktisch ungefiltert auf den Fahrer übertragen wird. Dies birgt neben einer Gefährdung von Material und Fahrer auch die permanente Verunsicherung des Fahrers in sich, nicht zu wissen, ob bei einem zu erwartenden Stoß das Ventil nun öffnet oder nicht. Einen ähnlichen Weg geht die Fa. Fox mit dem System „Terralogic" [3].A Possibility, To make this optimization is realized by the US bike manufacturer Spezialized with the system "brain" [4]. Here is by an inertia valve, which by acceleration of the rear wheel when hitting an obstacle is activated that reduces compression damping to reduce the response to improve. Without road bumps, the system is again overdamped to To suppress pitching movements. Of the Disadvantage of this system is that it needs to activate this "initial shock", the However, virtually unfiltered is transmitted to the driver. This holds next to a hazard Material and driver also the permanent uncertainty of the driver in itself, not knowing if at an expected shock the valve now opens or not. A similar one Way goes the company Fox with the system "Terralogic".
Eine weitere Lösung bieten die sog. „Plattformdämpfer" an [3]. Auch hier wird versucht, nur bei Auftreten einer plötzlichen Anregung durch Fahrbahnunebenheiten ein sensibles Ansprechen zu erhalten, bei geringer Anregung eine erhöhte Dämpfung beizubehalten. Hauptvertreter dieser Technologie ist das SPV-System der Fa. Manitou [3]. Hier wird eine Steuerung der sog. High-Speed-Dämpfung und Low-Speed-Dämpfung vorgenommen: Bei High-Speed-Anregung wird die Dämpfung reduziert, bei Low-Speed-Anregung wird die Dämpfung erhöht.A another solution offer the so-called "platform damper" to [3]. Also here is attempted only when a sudden excitation due to road bumps occurs to receive a sensitive response, with low suggestion one increased damping maintain. The main representative of this technology is the SPV system the Fa. Manitou [3]. Here, a control of the so-called. High-speed damping and low-speed damping is made: At high-speed excitation is the damping reduced, with low-speed excitation, the damping is increased.
Die Firma Shimano hat mit dem Alltagsfahrrad „Smover" [2] ebenfalls eine Steuerung der Dämpfung des Hinterbaudämpfers realisiert, hierbei wird die Geschwindigkeit als Messgröße genutzt. Bei niedrigen Geschwindigkeiten wird die Dämpfung erhöht, bei hohen Geschwindigkeiten reduziert. Das Problem hierbei ist, dass auch bei kleinen Geschwindigkeiten besonders im innerstädtischen Einsatz (Bordsteine) und bei langsamen Bergauffahrten in unebenem Gelände ein gutes Ansprechen ohne Überdämpfung erwünscht ist.The Company Shimano has with the everyday bike "Smover" also a control of the damping of the rear shock realized, here the speed is used as a measure. At low speeds, the damping is increased, at high speeds reduced. The problem here is that even at low speeds especially in the inner city Use (curbs) and on slow uphill driving in uneven terrain a good response without over-damping is desired.
Die Fa. Noleen hat Ende der 90er Jahre den sog. Smart-Shock-Dämpfer auf den Markt gebracht, in dem durch Messung der Anregungsbeschleunigung am Dämpfer die Dämpfung angepasst werden sollte. Es wurde jedoch nicht bereits vor dem Ereignis des Stoßes eine Steuerung vorgenommen. Das System hat sich allerdings nicht bewährt und wurde bereits wieder vom Markt genommen.The Fa. Noleen has the so-called smart-shock damper at the end of the 90s brought into the market, in which by measuring the excitation acceleration on the damper the damping should be adjusted. However, it was not already before the event of shock a control made. The system has not proven and has already been withdrawn from the market.
Wie einführend erwähnt, führen alle technischen Lösungsansätze zu suboptimalen Ergebnissen, wobei in der Hauptsache das sensible Ansprechen der Dämpferelemente durch Erhöhung der Dämpfung, insbesondere der Druckstufendämpfung, reduziert wird. Diese Komforteinbuße kann dabei permanent oder bei Einzelstößen vorhanden sein. Ebenfalls führen konstruktive Notwendigkeiten zu einem höheren technischen Aufwand für die zu verwendende Feder- Dämpfungselemente.As introductory mentioned, to lead all technical solutions to suboptimal Results, with the sensitive response of the damper elements by raising the damping, especially the compression damping, reduced becomes. This loss of comfort can be permanent or in case of single impacts. Also to lead constructive necessities for a higher technical effort for the using spring-damping elements.
Neuerung:Innovation:
Die hier vorzustellende Neuerung wendet eine mechatronische [6] Lösung an, wie sie im Bereich von Zweirädern insbesondere von Fahrrädern noch nicht bekannt ist. Das grundlegende Prinzip ist die Messung (Detektierung) spezieller Fahrzustände und Ereignisse, woraus eine elektronische Steuerung und oder Regelung über eine Aktorik eine Ventilverstellung zur Veränderung der Dämpfungskoeffizienten hydraulischer Dämpferelemente ableitet und initiiert.The innovation presented here uses a mechatronic [6] solution as described in Be rich of two-wheelers, especially bicycles is not yet known. The basic principle is the measurement (detection) of special driving conditions and events, from which an electronic control and / or control via an actuator system derives and initiates a valve adjustment for changing the damping coefficients of hydraulic damper elements.
Sensorik:sensors:
Für die Funktion der Neuerung ist die Messung der Beschleunigung der Vorderachse (ungefederte Masse) die wichtigste Größe. Ein Beschleunigungssensor gemäß Stand der Technik ist für einen in der Praxis sinnvollen Messbreich (z.B. bis 10g) zu verwenden. Des Weiteren können die Aufbaubeschleunigung (gefederte Masse), die Geschwindigkeit, die Trittfrequenz, der Dämpferhub bzw. die Dämpferposition detektiert werden.For the function The innovation is the measurement of the acceleration of the front axle (unsprung mass) the most important size. An acceleration sensor as per stand the technology is for to use a practical measuring range (for example up to 10 g). Furthermore you can the body acceleration (sprung mass), the speed, the cadence, the damper stroke or the damper position be detected.
Aktorik:actuators:
Die Aktorik kann aus Bauteilen gemäß Stand der Technik bestehen. Hierbei können rotatorisch arbeitende Motoren, Linearmotoren oder auch Magnetventile zum Einsatz kommen.The Actuators can be made of components according to the state of Technology exist. Here you can Rotary motors, linear motors or solenoid valves be used.
