I-Comfort kube ngenye yezinto eziza kuqala kwa-Citroën cishe iminyaka eyikhulu, kuze kube yilapho i-'Comfort Citroën' isibe isiginesha yangempela yohlobo lwesiFulentshi. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, incazelo yokunethezeka iye yaba nezinguquko ezijulile, futhi namuhla ihlanganisa izindlela ezihluke kakhulu.
Ukuze sithathe indlela ethuthuke kakhulu nebanzi yokunethezeka, njengoba simemezele izolo, i-Citroën yethule umqondo othi “Citroën Advanced Comfort”. Umqondo ovezwa “Nge-Citroën Advanced Comfort Lab”, i-prototype esekelwe ku-C4 Cactus ehlanganisa ndawonye ubuchwepheshe obufana nokulengiswa okunezitobhi eziqhubekayo zamanzi, izihlalo ezintsha kanye nenqubo yokuhlanganisa engakaze ibonwe.
Lapho imoto idlula ukuguqulwa okuphansi, ukusabela kwalokhu kuphazamiseka kudluliselwa kubahlali ngezigaba ezintathu: umsebenzi wokumiswa, ukusabela kokudlidliza emsebenzini womzimba kanye nokudluliswa kokudlidliza kubahlali ngezihlalo.
Ngalo mqondo, i-prototype iveza ezintathu ezintsha (bheka lapha), eyodwa ye-vector ngayinye, okuzovumela ukunciphisa ukuphazamiseka okuzwiwa ngabahlali, futhi ngaleyo ndlela kuthuthukise kakhulu ukunethezeka okuqhubekayo.
Lobu buchwepheshe buhilela ukubhaliswa kwamalungelo obunikazi angaphezu kuka-30, kodwa ukuthuthukiswa kwawo kwacabangela ukusetshenziswa kwawo, ngokwemibandela yezomnotho neyezimboni, kuhlu lwamamodeli ochungechungeni lwe-Citroën. Sesikushilo lokho, ake singene emininingwaneni yokumiswa okusha kohlobo lwesiFulentshi, ukuqamba okusha okubaluleke kakhulu kokuthathu okwethulwa manje.
Ukumiswa okunezitobhi zama-hydraulic eziqhubekayo
I-suspension yakudala yenziwe nge-shock absorber, isiphethu kanye ne-mechanical stop; isistimu ye-Citroën, ngakolunye uhlangothi, inezitobhi ezimbili zokudonsa amanzi - esokunwetshwa nesinye esokucindezela - nhlangothi zombili. Ngakho-ke, kungashiwo ukuthi ukumiswa kusebenza ngezigaba ezimbili, kuye ngezicelo:
- Ezigabeni zokucindezelwa okuncane nokunwetshwa, intwasahlobo kanye ne-shock absorber ngokuhlanganyela kulawula ukunyakaza okuqondile ngaphandle kokudinga ukuma kwe-hydraulic. Nokho, ukuba khona kwalezi zitobhi kwavumela onjiniyela ukuba banikeze uhla olukhulu lokukhuluma emotweni, befuna umphumela wekhaphethi endizayo, okunikeza umuzwa wokuthi imoto indiza phezu kokukhubazeka phansi;
- Ezigabeni zokucindezelwa okugxilile nokunwetshwa, isilawuli se-spring and shock absorber kanye nokucindezela kwe-hydraulic noma izitobhi zesandiso, ezihamba kancane kancane ukunyakaza, ngaleyo ndlela kugwenywe ukuma okungazelelwe okuvame ukwenzeka ekupheleni kohambo lokumiswa. Ngokungafani nesitobhi esivamile, esimunca amandla kodwa sibuyisele ingxenye yawo, isitobhi esidonsa amanzi sidonsa futhi sihlakaze lawo mandla afanayo. Ngakho-ke, into eyaziwa ngokuthi i-rebound (ukunyakaza kokumiswa kokumiswa) ayisekho.
