Title:
DEVICE FOR REGULATING THE DYNAMICS OF VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND A METHOD FOR ALIGNING VEHICLE-DYNAMICS SENSORS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2002016179
Kind Code:
A9
Abstract:
The invention relates to a device for regulating the dynamics of vehicle movement, consisting of a valve block (19) and an electronic controller (1), whereby electronic components (38), responsible for at least the braking operation, are located inside the controller. Said components process signals from at least one vehicle-dynamics sensor (3, 14, 47), such as a yaw rate sensor and/or an acceleration sensor. The valve block houses at least electrohydraulic valves. The device is characterised in that it incorporates at least one vehicle-dynamics sensor. The invention also relates to a method for aligning one or more vehicle-dynamics sensor(s) in the aforementioned device, said method comprising the following steps: rotation and/or acceleration of the device, in which the sensor is integrated, about one or more defined axes and/or in defined directions, measurement of the sensor signals during the rotation or acceleration, calculation of the angular differentials between the current sensor axes/directions and the defined axes/directions by comparing the measured sensor signals with the theoretically expected sensor signals and correction of the incorrectly aligned vehicle-dynamics sensors after their integration, by means of adjusting elements, using the calculated angle differentials.
