I-BMW Steering esebenzayo
Siza umshayeli uma ubheke ngaphandle kokumncisha amandla okulawula isondo lokushayela. Ngamafuphi, lena yi-Active Steering eyenziwe yiBMW. Uhlelo lokushayela olusha oluguqulayo olusetha izindinganiso ezintsha zobuhlakani, ukunethezeka nokuphepha egameni lenjabulo yokushayela yendabuko ejwayelekile yomkhiqizo waseBavaria.
Uhlelo olusha lokuqondisa luzovumela abasebenzisi bezimoto bakwa-BMW bakusasa ukuthi baluthole ngesivinini esiphezulu emigwaqeni yezimoto nasemigwaqweni yasemadolobheni, kanye nangesikhathi sokuhamba kokupaka, lapho umshayeli angabona kangcono uhlelo.
Ukusabela kwangempela kwesiteringi, kusho abakwaBMW, kuzokwenza ukushayela kube namandla, kuthuthukise ukunethezeka komkhumbi futhi kuthuthukise kakhulu ukuphepha, njengoba isiteringi esisebenzayo sihambisana neDynamic Stability Control (DSC).
Ukuqondisa okusebenzayo, ngokungafani nezinhlelo ezibizwa ngokuthi "ukuqondisa" ngaphandle kokuxhumeka kwemishini phakathi kwesondo lokushayela namasondo, kuqinisekisa ukuthi uhlelo lokuqhuba luhlala lusebenza noma kwenzeka ukwehluleka noma ukungasebenzi kahle kwezinhlelo zosizo lokushayela.
Ukuqondisa okusebenzayo kunikeza ukuphatha okungcono, kuqinisekisa ukushesha ngisho nasemakhoneni. I-Electrically Controlled Active Steering inikeza okwehla kokuqondisa okuhlukahlukene nokusiza. Isici sayo esikhulu u-gearbox oyiplanethi owakhelwe kwikholamu yokuqondisa, ngosizo lwayo imoto kagesi enikeza i-engeli enkulu noma encane yokuzungeza kwamasondo angaphambili ngokushintshana kwesondo lokushayela. Igiya lokuqondisa liqonde ngqo ngejubane eliphansi ukuya kweliphakathi; isibonelo, ukujika kwamasondo amabili kuphela kwanele ukupaka. Njengoba ijubane landa, i-Active Steering inciphisa i-angle yokuqondisa, okwenza ukwehla kube okungaqondile.
I-BMW ingumkhiqizi wokuqala emhlabeni wonke ukuthatha isinqumo sokusebenzisa isiteringi esisebenzayo njengesinyathelo esilandelayo esibhekise kumqondo omsulwa “wokuqondisa ngocingo”. Ukuqondisa okulula kanye nobungozi obuncane phakathi nokuqondiswa kwezimo eziphuthumayo. Isici esiyinhloko sesistimu yokuqondisa esebenzayo eguquguqukayo yilokho okubizwa ngokuthi "i-overlap steering mechanism". Lona umehluko weplanethi owakhelwe kukholamu yesiteringi ehlukene, eshayelwa injini kagesi (ngomshini wokuzikhiya ozikhiyayo) onyusa noma owehlisa i-engeli yesiteringi ebekwe umshayeli kuye ngezimo ezihlukahlukene zokushayela. Enye ingxenye ebalulekile i-variable power steering (esikhumbuza i-servotronic eyaziwa kangcono), ekwazi ukulawula inani lamandla umshayeli asebenza ngawo esiteringini ngenkathi eshayela. Uma kunesivinini esiphansi, isiteringi esisebenzayo sishintsha ubudlelwano phakathi kwesiteringi namasondo, okwenza kube lula ukuyilawula.
Emizileni yasedolobheni, ukuqondisa okusebenzayo kuzokwaziswa kakhulu ngenxa yesilinganiso esiqonde kakhulu segiya uma kuqhathaniswa nezinye izinhlelo ezijwayelekile, okunikeza ukuphendula okulula ngokwengeziwe kwemoto. Ngejubane eliphakeme, izilinganiso zamagiye zizoya ngokungaqondile, zikhulise umzamo odingekayo esondweni nasekuvimbeleni ukunyakaza okungafuneki.
I-Active Steering ibuye isize kakhulu ezimeni ezibucayi zokuzinza njengokushayela ezindaweni ezimanzi nezibushelelezi noma ezinqamulelayo ezinamandla. Idivayisi ivutha ngejubane elihehayo, ithuthukisa ukuqina kwemoto futhi ngaleyo ndlela inciphise imvamisa yokuqalwa kwe-DSC. Okokugcina, umnikelo wenziwa ngejubane eliphansi kakhulu, ngokwesibonelo ngesikhathi sokupaka. Kulokhu, isilinganiso sokuqondisa esiqonde ngqo kuzodinga ukuthi umshayeli enze amasondo amabili kuphela esiteringini ukuze apake endaweni evaliwe ngaphandle kwezinkinga futhi ngaphandle komzamo omkhulu womzimba.
