Abstract
An apparatus for adjusting a height of a vehicle including a vehicle height adjustment unit configured to adjust a height of the vehicle; a hydraulic pressure supply unit configured to supply a hydraulic pressure supplied to a caliper from a braking device for braking of the vehicle to the vehicle height adjustment unit; and a control unit configured to control a hydraulic pressure supplied to the vehicle height adjustment unit from the braking device, by controlling the hydraulic pressure supply unit depending on whether a predetermined vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied.
Claims16
An apparatus for adjusting a height of a vehicle, comprising:
- a vehicle height adjustment unit configured to adjust a height of the vehicle;
- a hydraulic pressure supply unit configured to supply a hydraulic pressure supplied to a caliper from a braking device for braking of the vehicle, to the vehicle height adjustment unit;
- and
- a control unit configured to control a hydraulic pressure supplied to the vehicle height adjustment unit from the braking device, by controlling the hydraulic pressure supply unit depending on whether a predetermined vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied,
- wherein:
- the control unit determines whether the vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied based on at least one of:
- a vehicle height adjustment button input, a vehicle speed being greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, a traveling time, and a vehicle position;
- the control unit supplies a hydraulic pressure from the braking device to the vehicle height adjustment unit by controlling the hydraulic pressure supply unit depending on whether an operation state of the vehicle satisfies a predetermined braking condition;
- and
- when the braking condition is satisfied, the control unit supplies a hydraulic pressure from the braking device to the vehicle height adjustment unit by controlling the hydraulic pressure supply unit depending on a comparison result by comparing a hydraulic pressure supplied to the caliper from the braking device with a predetermined hydraulic pressure.

A method for adjusting a height of a vehicle, comprising:
- determining whether a predetermined vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied, by a control unit;
- detecting a vehicle height by a vehicle height detection unit, when the vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied;
- and
- adjusting, by the control unit, the vehicle height by supplying a hydraulic pressure supplied through a hydraulic pressure supply unit from a braking device for braking of the vehicle to a vehicle height adjustment unit depending on the vehicle height,
- wherein:
- in the determining of whether the predetermined vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied, the control unit determines whether the vehicle height adjustment condition is satisfied, based on at least one of:
- a vehicle height adjustment button input, a vehicle speed being greater than or equal to a predetermined speed, a traveling time, and a vehicle position;
- and
- in the adjusting of the vehicle height, when an operation state of the vehicle satisfies the predetermined braking condition, the control unit supplies a hydraulic pressure from the braking device to the vehicle height adjustment unit by controlling the hydraulic pressure supply unit depending on a comparison result by comparing a hydraulic pressure supplied to a caliper from the braking device with a predetermined hydraulic pressure.
