TY - JOUR TI - Vibration energy recovery system of vehicle suspension based on ultrasonic sensor AU - Wang Yunlong AU - Zhang Hongtian AU - Sun Yuantao JN - Thermal Science PY - 2022 VL - 26 IS - 3 SP - 2335 EP - 2348 PT - Article AB - The current design of vibration energy recovery system for vehicle suspension does not analyze the vibration of the vehicle under different road conditions, resulting in the system's low energy recovery ratio, low recovery efficiency, and low energy utilization. Therefore, in this paper, the vibration energy recovery system of vehicle suspension based on ultrasonic sensors is proposed. The ultrasonic sensor is used to obtain the vibration information of the vehicle, and the vibration of the vehicle on the smooth and uneven roads is analyzed according to the obtained information. According to the analysis results, the design of the vibration energy recovery system for vehicle suspension is completed through four parts: the IGBT module, the control system, the direct thrust controller, and the energy management controller. The experimental results show that the system designed by the proposed method has a large energy recovery ratio, high recovery efficiency and high energy utilization rate.
