Subverting tradition, the rise of smart shock absorbers
In the wave of global automotive industry transformation, China’s new energy vehicles stand out with their innovative technology and excellent performance. The hydraulic integrated fully active shock absorber recently launched by Beijing West Intelligent Control (Zhangjiakou) Auto Parts Co., Ltd. marks a major breakthrough in China’s intelligent chassis field. This “smart” shock absorber not only has a millisecond-level response speed, but also can detect the road conditions ahead in real time and make shock absorption adjustments in advance, greatly improving the vehicle’s handling stability.
In a unique “champagne tower test”, the NIO ET9 equipped with the shock absorber smoothly passed the speed bump at a speed of 18 km/h, and 91 glasses of champagne stood firmly, fully demonstrating its excellent shock absorption performance. Behind all this is Jingxi Zhikong’s continuous exploration and innovation in intelligent control technology.
Intelligent technology improves driving experience
Jingxi Intelligent Control’s hydraulic integrated fully active shock absorber, with its “fully active” intelligent characteristics, completely subverts the limitations of traditional passive shock absorbers. Traditional shock absorbers rely on mechanical structures to absorb vibrations, while active shock absorbers use electronic control systems to sense the vehicle’s suspension movement and external conditions in real time and actively adjust the shock absorption effect.
Sun Tianming, a technical engineer at Jingxi Intelligent Control, vividly compares it to a “flexible real leg”, which is in sharp contrast to the traditional “prosthetic limb”. Each shock absorber is equipped with an electronic data control line, which is connected to the vehicle’s “smart brain” – the electronic control unit (ECU), which analyzes the vehicle’s driving status in real time and makes accurate decisions. This technology enables the shock absorber to respond to changes in road conditions within 1 millisecond, greatly improving the vehicle’s handling and comfort.
For example, when the right rear wheel of the vehicle encounters a small dirt pothole, the shock absorbers of the other three wheels can quickly adjust the damping force to ensure that the vehicle passes smoothly. This “Flash”-like response speed not only improves driving comfort, but also provides a strong guarantee for safe driving.
Intelligent traceability to ensure quality throughout the entire life cycle
In the production process, Jingxi Intelligent Control introduced an AI industrial camera error prevention system to ensure the quality of each shock absorber. Each shock absorber is equipped with a unique QR code to record various data throughout its life cycle, which is convenient for subsequent traceability and quality control. This series of intelligent production processes not only improves production efficiency, but also reduces labor costs and the risk of missed inspections.
Before leaving the factory, the shock absorber must also undergo rigorous durability testing to ensure its stable performance. Sui Helong, deputy director of the Beijing R&D Center of Jingxi Zhixing, said that the shock absorber must undergo millions of durability tests and the damping performance attenuation must be controlled below 10% to pass the verification. This strict standard reflects the high requirements of China’s new energy vehicles in quality management.
With the rapid development of the electric new energy vehicle market, the demand for intelligent shock absorbers is also increasing. Electric vehicles are heavy and have higher requirements for controllability and comfort. Jingxi Zhikong’s intelligent shock absorbers just meet this market demand.
China’s new energy vehicles are constantly moving forward on the road of intelligence and technology, and Jingxi Zhikong’s hydraulic integrated fully active shock absorber is undoubtedly an important milestone in this process. With the continuous advancement of technology and the gradual maturity of the market, future new energy vehicles will be smarter and safer, bringing consumers a better driving experience. I believe that in the near future, new cars equipped with this intelligent shock absorber will enter thousands of households and promote the further development of China’s automobile industry.
