Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The hydraulic suspension system comprises a suspension mechanism ( 100 ) for a traveling vehicle body, a suspension reference position variation mechanism ( 18 ) for varying a reference position of a suspension stroke of the suspension mechanism, and a stopped state detector ( 58 ) for detecting a state in which operation of the suspension mechanism ( 100 ) has stopped. The control management unit ( 60 ) controls the suspension reference position variation mechanism ( 18 ) so that when operation of the suspension mechanism ( 100 ) is detected by the stopped state detector ( 58 ) to be in a stopped state, the operation of the suspension mechanism ( 100 ) moves toward a target range, in preference to control based on a suspension stroke position obtained from a suspension stroke position sensor ( 37 ).

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hydraulic suspension system comprising: a suspension mechanism for a traveling vehicle body; a suspension reference position variation mechanism for varying a reference position of a suspension stroke of the suspension mechanism; an intermediate value calculator for detecting a maximum position and a minimum position of the suspension stroke and calculating an intermediate value between the maximum and minimum positions; a cumulating unit for cumulat…
