Abstract
The invention relates to a vehicle oscillation device having two vehicle parts arranged to be movable relative to each other, wherein one of the two vehicle parts is supported in a substantially horizontally oscillatory manner in relation to the further one of the two vehicle parts in the longitudinal direction of the vehicle and/or in the width direction of the vehicle, wherein said two vehicle parts are coupled with each other in an pivoting manner by a transmission system having more than one transmission element, and a damper is provided in a damping manner between a first transmission element and one of the two vehicle parts or a further transmission element.
Claims14
An oscillation device for use with a vehicle, comprising:
- first and second members arranged to be movable relative to each other, wherein the first member is supported in a substantially horizontally oscillatory manner in relation to the second member in at least one of the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or in the width direction of the vehicle;
- and
- a transmission system having a first transmission element and a damper,
- wherein the first and second members are coupled with each other in a pivoting manner by the transmission system and the damper is configured between the first transmission element and at least one of the first or second members or between the first transmission element and a second transmission element.
A vehicle oscillation device for use with a vehicle, comprising:
- first and second members arranged to be movable relative to each other, wherein the first member is supported in a substantially horizontally oscillatory manner in relation to the second member in at least one of the longitudinal direction of the vehicle or in the width direction of the vehicle;
- and
- a transmission system having at least one oscillating slider and a damper,
- wherein the first and second members are coupled with each other in a pivoting manner by the transmission system and the damper is configured between the at least one oscillating slider and the first or second member.
A method for positioning a vehicle part that is capable of substantially horizontal oscillations in a vehicle oscillation device, comprising:
- retaining the vehicle part in a resting position using a spring component of a damper of the vehicle oscillation device when no oscillation force is present;
- and
- moving the vehicle part from a deflected position back to the resting position in response to an oscillation force.
