Abstract:
A vehicle height adjustment apparatus according to one embodiment include a spring (500), a spring-length changing unit (250), a first valve (301), a control valve (305) and a second valve (302). The spring-length changing unit (250) changes a length of the spring (500) in accordance with an amount of oil in a jack chamber (60) that accommodates the oil. The first valve (301) opens and closes a first communication path in which the oil supplied from a pump (600) is oriented toward a reservoir chamber (40) that stores the oil. The control valve (305) opens and closes a discharge flow path oriented toward the reservoir chamber (40) from a chamber (B1) that accommodates the oil to close the first valve (301). The second valve (302) opens and closes a second communication path in which the oil supplied from the pump (600) is oriented toward the jack chamber (60) when the first valve (301) is closed.
Abstract:
A vehicle height adjustment apparatus includes: a front wheel-side change unit that can change a front wheel relative position, which is a relative position between a body of a vehicle and a front wheel of the vehicle; a rear wheel-side change unit that can change a rear wheel relative position, which is a relative position between the body and a rear wheel of the vehicle; and a control unit that controls the front wheel-side change unit and the rear wheel-side change unit so as to change the front wheel and the rear wheel relative positions to adjust a vehicle height, which is a height of the body of the vehicle, and the control unit increases the vehicle height while maintaining a ratio of a displacement of the front wheel relative position to a displacement of the rear wheel relative position within a predetermined range.
Abstract:
A vehicle height adjustment apparatus includes a rear wheel suspension spring that is disposed between a vehicle body and a tire wheel of a vehicle; a rear wheel damper that undergoes an extensional and contractional operation so as to move working oil to dampen vibration of the spring; a support member that supports one end portion of the spring, and moves relative to the damper to change the length of the spring; a jack chamber into which the working oil causing the support member to move relative to the damper flows by the extensional and contractional operation of the damper; a rear wheel electromagnetic valve that adjusts the amount of the working oil flowing into the jack chamber by the degree of opening of the electromagnetic valve; and control device that controls the degree of opening of the electromagnetic valve based on a weight exerted on the vehicle.
Abstract:
A flow path control device according to one embodiment includes a first valve (304) which transitions between a closed state where a first flow path is closed and an open state where the first flow path is open by moving toward an space (S1) from the closed state. The first valve (304) is formed with an axial through-hole (393) that communicates with the first flow path and the space (S1). A pressure-receiving area (A1) of the first valve (304) against a jack chamber (51) is smaller than that against the space (S1). Further, a second valve (303) is provided in the space (S1) on a second flow path so as to transition between a first state where a radial through-hole (393) is closed and an inflow path oriented toward the space (S1) from the jack chamber (51) is open and a second state where it is closed and the radial through-hole (393) is open.

Abstract:
An apparatus (112) for controlling a bicycle front or rear suspension (40,26) element includes a suspension parameter controller (133) that provides a suspension parameter controlling signal to control an operating parameter of the bicycle front or rear suspension element (40,26) in response to a bicycle seat position.
