ABSTRACT:
Anti-wheel spin control systems are useful, for example, in industrial off-road vehicles. It is desirable that such systems operate automatically and not be unduly influenced by false slip signals caused by steering of the vehicle. It is further desirable that the operability of the control be readily determined by the operator. The instant anti-spin control includes an apparatus for producing a slip signal having a value responsive to the difference in rotational velocity between the vehicle wheels, and for producing a test signal. A processor receives the slip signal and test signal, compares the slip signal value with a first predetermined reference value in response to receiving the slip signal in the absence of the test signal, and compares the slip signal value with a second predetermined reference value in response to receiving both the slip signal and the test signal. A brake control signal is produced in response to the slip signal value exceeding the compared reference value, and the braking mechanism corresponding to the slipping wheel is activated. In a second embodiment of the invention, a steer signal is also produced and applied to the processor. The steer signal is utilized to negate the effect of steering the vehicle on the produced slip signal. Thus, the disclosed anti-spin system accounts for false slip indications produced by steering the vehicle, and provides a ready means for the operator to test the operability of the control system.
