FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present disclosure relates to a vehicle control system, and more particularly to an axle control system and method thereof for controlling an axle lift system of a vehicle.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
[0002] The need of transporting material is significantly increasing due to an enhanced demand from eco-system. Historically, self-propelling vehicles or wagons were used for this purpose. These vehicles normally had two or more axles based on load of the goods. Each axle whether rigid or independent, were coupled with one or more tires. Each tire having a load carrying capacity based on either pneumatic pressure or mechanical linkage strength or electro-mechanical arrangements or by any other means.
[0003] In order to further enhance the load bearing capacity, multi-axle vehicles were developed including the concept involving dual tire non-steered lift axle in place of single tire self-steered lift axle (as shown in Fig 1a). However, the non-steered lift axle, which is not located at effective wheelbase of vehicle or located at different distance than effective wheelbase from front axle, will be subjected to tire scrub during steering maneuverer. This will result in unwanted higher tire wear as well as higher lateral forces transmitted to chassis frame, thereby reducing durability of the chassis. Additionally, this results in ploughing of the road causing higher road damage and increasing road maintenance cost for the government. This damage to the road is even more when the vehicle turns at low speed.

[0004] Thus there remain a need of an axle lifting system and a method thereof to reduce the damages occurring as detailed above including during turning of vehicle at low speed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0034] The embodiments herein and the various features and advantageous details thereof are explained fully with reference to the non-limiting embodiments that are illustrated in the accompanying drawings and detailed in the following description. Descriptions of well-known components and processing techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the embodiments herein. Also, the various embodiments described herein are not necessarily mutually exclusive, as some embodiments can be combined with one or more other embodiments to form new embodiments. The term “or” as used herein, refers to a non-exclusive or, unless otherwise indicated. The examples used herein are intended merely to facilitate an understanding of ways in which the embodiments herein can be practiced and to further enable those skilled in the art to practice the embodiments herein. Accordingly, the examples should not be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments herein.
[0035] The accompanying drawings are used to help easily understand various technical features and it should be understood that the embodiments presented herein are not limited by the accompanying drawings. As such, the present disclosure should be construed to extend to any alterations, equivalents and substitutes in addition to those which are particularly set out in the accompanying drawings. Although the terms first, second, etc. may be used herein to describe various elements, these elements should not be limited by these terms. These terms are generally only used to distinguish one element from another.
[0036] Embodiments herein provides a vehicle control system comprising an axle control system connected to an axle lift system. The axle control system is

configured to obtain at least one of a speed of the vehicle, a steering angel of the vehicle and a load on the vehicle, and detect that one or more tires at an axle of the vehicle is in a tire damage zone based on at least one of the speed of the vehicle, the steering angel of the vehicle, and the load on the vehicle, and send a single to lift the axle to avoid contact of the one or more tires on ground. The axle lift system is configured to receive a signal to lift the one or more tires at the axle of the vehicle from the axle control system, start lifting the axle using a command to Axle Control Valve (LACV), monitor a rise in an air pressure in lift bellow by a pressure sensor, determine whether the air pressure in the lift bellow reaches a predefined air pressure, wherein the predefined air pressure is lesser than a minimum air pressure required to lift the axle completely, and activate a 2/2 Normally Open (NO) valve to cut supply of air to the lift bellow for not lifting the axle further or maintaining the axle in a partially lifted position. Further, the axle control system is configured to detect that the one or more tires at the axle of the vehicle is not in the tire damage zone based on at least one of the speed of the vehicle, the steering angel of the vehicle, and the load on the vehicle, and send a single to the axle lift system to lower the axle to contact the one or more tires on the ground. The axle lift system is configure to lower the axle completely or partially depending on the signal received from the axle control system, wherein the one or more tires at the axle is lowered when pressurized air fills main bellow and the air in lift bellow is released through the LACV.
[0037] Unlike the conventional systems, the proposed axle control system decides whether the running condition of the vehicle based on the inputs provided by the sensors, falls within a range of a tyre damage prone zone. If such condition exists, the axle control system will actuate the pneumatic lift axle wherein the ‘pneumatic lift axle’ will lift the axle and raise the attached tires or wheels from the ground. Once the tire damage zone ceases to exist, the axle control system signal the axle lift system to relieve the axle and the tires will be lowered to the ground level. The ‘tire damage prone zone’ is continuously checked by the axle

control system and lifts the axle only when this tyre damage prone zone exists and lowers the axle or keeps it lowered to the ground when such tyre damage prone zone is non-existent. During a steering action of a vehicle having two or more than two axles, there is lateral load on the non-steered axle that produces tire scrubbing. To counter this situation, the proposed axle control system lifts the non-steered axle and avoids the resulting tire scrubbing, thereby enhancing a life of tires of the vehicle.
[0038] Referring now to the drawings, and more particularly to FIGS. 1 through 7, there are shown preferred embodiments.
[0039] FIG. 1a illustrates vehicle with single tires self-steered Lift Axle, according to prior art. A vehicle (100) can be a truck or any other vehicle with single tire self-steered lift axle (20). The lift axle (20) provides self-steering to the vehicle (100) while driven for transportation of goods from one place to the other.
[0040] FIG. 1b illustrates a vehicle with dual tires non-steered lift Axle, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. An axle control system and a method thereof in a vehicle (100) for lifting of the axle as desired. The axle lifting system can provide a lifting mechanism for the axle with dual tires, which are non-steered. However, the lifting can also be provided for other configuration too. Although illustrated with dual tires but it is appreciated that present invention is applicable for any moving vehicle like trucks with 2 or more axles or with one or more axles being either driven or non-driven on the ground for transporting any load from one place to other on any land profile like a planned, unplanned and naturally available/constructed route etc.
[0041] FIG. 2a illustrates circling of a vehicle at different radii, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. The vehicle (100) while driving at a low speed and at a particular steering angle with tires in contact with the ground,

reduces life of the tire or results in tire lateral damage. Figure 2a shows a full vehicle simulation that was carried to quantify the tire lateral damage potential at different vehicle speeds and at various radii of turning. Figure 2b shows a graph between speed of the vehicle versus radii of the turn that vehicle (100) make.
[0042] FIG. 2b illustrate a graph depicting tire a tire damage zone in the radii of turn of the vehicle Vs. Speed of the vehicle, according to an embodiment as disclosed herein. The tire damage zone may referee to conditions in which major damage can occurs to tires at low vehicle speed while taking tighter turns. For example, during a steering action of a vehicle having two or more than two axles, there is lateral load on the non-steered axle that produces tire scrubbing which leads to tire damage zone. To counter this situation, the proposed axle control system lifts the non-steered axle and avoids the resulting tire scrubbing, thereby enhancing a life of tires of the vehicle.

16. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle is lifted when pressurised air fills a lift bellow and the air in a main bellow is released through a Quick Release Valve (QRV).
17. The method as claimed in claim 16, wherein a pressure of the air in the lift bellow is controlled using a Pressure Limiting valve (PLV).
18. The method as claimed in claim 13, wherein the axle lift system (22) lifts the axle by:
sending a command to a LACV to start lifting the at least one axle;
monitoring a rise in an air pressure in lift bellow by a pressure sensor;
determining whether the air pressure in the lift bellow reaches a predefined air pressure, wherein the predefined air pressure is lesser than a minimum air pressure required to lift the at least one axle completely; and
activating a 2/2 Normally Open (NO) valve to cut supply of air to the lift bellow for not lifting the at least one axle further or maintaining the at least one axle in a partially lifted position.
19. The method as claimed in claim 16, comprises:
detecting, by the axle control system, that the at least one tire at the at least one axle of the vehicle is not in the tire damage zone based on at least one of the speed of the vehicle, the steering angel of the vehicle, and the load on the vehicle; and
sending, by the axle control system, a signal to the axle lift system (22) to lower the at least one axle to contact the at least one tire on the ground.

20. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle of the vehicle is not in the damage zone is detected when at least one of the speed of the vehicle does not meets a speed threshold, the steering angle of the vehicle does not meets a predefined steer angle, and the load on the vehicle does not meets a load threshold.
21. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle is lower completely or partially depend on the signal received from the axle controller (32).
22. The method as claimed in claim 21, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle is lowered when pressurised air fills main bellow and the air in lift bellow is released through an Axle Control Valve (LACV).
23. The method as claimed in claim 22, wherein a pressure of the air in the main bellow is controlled using a Pressure Limiting valve (PLV).
24. The method as claimed in claim 19, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle is lowered or lifted by a Load Sensing Valve (LSV) based on the load on the vehicle.
25. A vehicle control system comprising:
an axle control system (30) configured to:
receive at least one of a speed of the vehicle, a steering angel of the vehicle and a load on the vehicle,
detect that at least one tire of at least one axle of the vehicle is in a tire damage zone based on at least one of the speed of the vehicle, the steering angel of the vehicle, and the load on the vehicle, and
send a signal to lift the at least one axle to avoid contact of the at least one tire on ground; and an axle lift system, connected to the axle control system, configured to:

receive signal to lift the at least one tire at the at least one axle of the vehicle from the axle control system,
start lifting the at least one axle using a command to Axle Control Valve (LACV),
monitor a rise in an air pressure in lift bellow by a pressure sensor,
determine whether the air pressure in the lift bellow reaches a predefined air pressure, wherein the predefined air pressure is lesser than a minimum air pressure required to lift the at least one axle completely, and
activate a 2/2 Normally Open (NO) valve to cut supply of air to the lift bellow for not lifting the at least one axle further or maintaining the at least one axle in a partially lifted position.
26. A vehicle control system as claimed in claim 25,
wherein the axle control system (30) is configured to:
detect that the at least one tire at the at least one axle of the vehicle is not in the tire damage zone based on at least one of the speed of the vehicle, the steering angel of the vehicle, and the load on the vehicle, and
send a single to the axle lift system (22) to lower the at least one axle to contact the at least one tire on the ground; and wherein the axle lift system (22) is configure to:
lower the axle completely or partially depend on the signal received from the axle control system, wherein the at least one tire at the at least one axle is lowered when pressurised air fills a main bellow and the air in a lift bellow is released through the LACV.
