Abstract
A hydraulic system for an active chassis of a motor vehicle. The hydraulic system includes a plurality of hydraulic actuators, a plurality of hydraulic lines, a hydraulic accumulator, and an electro-hydraulic motor pumping unit, by way of which, during operation of the hydraulic system, a hydraulic fluid, in particular a hydraulic oil, is conveyable through the hydraulic lines. The hydraulic system also includes valves that are associated with the hydraulic actuators. The hydraulic system is designed to electronically control a selective filling of the hydraulic actuators with the hydraulic fluid. The hydraulic system includes a cooling apparatus having a cooling body, which is attached to the hydraulic accumulator.
Claims11
A hydraulic system for an active chassis of a motor vehicle
- having a plurality of hydraulic actuators, said hydraulic system comprising:
- a plurality of hydraulic lines,
- a hydraulic accumulator having an accumulator body that extends along a longitudinal axis,
- an electro-hydraulic motor pump unit that is configured to convey a hydraulic fluid through the hydraulic lines during operation of the hydraulic system,
- a plurality of valves associated with the hydraulic actuators, and
- a cooling apparatus having:
- (a) a cooling body that (i) extends along the longitudinal axis, (ii) includes a first side that is attached to a lower surface of the hydraulic accumulator such that the cooling body extends to an elevation beneath the accumulator body of the hydraulic accumulator, (iii) includes a second side that is opposite the first side, and (iv) includes heat exchange fins extending transversely from the longitudinal axis, and
- (b) a cooler extension extending from the cooling body for connection to a body of the motor vehicle,
- wherein the hydraulic system is configured to electronically control a selective filling of the hydraulic actuators with the hydraulic fluid.
