Vehicle which can tilt in bends, in particular three-wheeled vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a vehicle which can tilt in bends, in particular a three-wheeled vehicle, which has a rear wheel (6) which is arranged in the longitudinal axis of the three-wheeled vehicle as well as two front wheels (3, 4) which are arranged at a distance from one another and can be steered indirectly by means of a steering element with intermediate connection of a steering column (2), wherein the two front wheels (3, 4) which are arranged at a distance from one another and thus also the frame (1) of the three-wheeled vehicle can be inclined proportionally as a function of the direction of rotation of the steering column (2) and in the process continuously to the rotational angle which results from the rotation of the steering column (2) as the vehicle travels through a bend by virtue of the fact that on the one hand the steering column (2) is connected to the axle element (8); by means of a track rod lever (31), to which axle element (8) a multifunction axle (14) which is preferably arranged above the axle element (8) is assigned by means of the pivot bearing (15, 16), said multifunction axle (14) being operatively connected jointly to the axle element (8) and the wheel carrier (12) of the wheel (3) which is positioned in front of the axle (7) of the axle element (8) in the direction (10) of travel, and on the other hand a fixed point on the frame (1) of the three-wheeled vehicle, which fixed point is preferably formed in the vicinity of the bottom bracket ball bearing receptacle (21), is connected to the wheel carrier (13) of the wheel (4) by means of a second track rod lever (29) which wheel (4) is positioned behind the axle (7) of the axle element (8) in the direction of travel (10), wherein one or both of the wheel carriers (12, 13); are pivotably connected to the axle element (8).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle, in particular a three-wheeled vehicle, capable of rolling in cornering, which vehicle has the features cited in the preamble of claim 1 . . Background technique [0002] It is well known to construct tricycles basically with a single wheel at the front and two wheels on the rear axle, or with only one rear wheel plus two separate front wheels. When considering a tricycle with two front wheels and one rear wheel, the two front wheels are connected to each other by a transverse bar acting as a steering element. The tricycle is driven by pedals operated via a crank, for example on the front gear, which is connected to a chain and chain drive and acts on the rear wheel as drive wheel. The seat connected with the tricycle is basically arranged at the center between the two front wheels and the rear wheel, and is connected with the tricycle frame at the same time. However, the disadvantage of this embodiment of the tric...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the roll of the tricycle, especially of the wheels, is also not optimal for ensuring safe transport, since the axle of a tricycle connecting the divided wheels has a central straight-axis element with a forward bend at one end for supporting the corresponding connected The first axle portion of a wheel, the other end of which has a second axle portion bent backwards for supporting the other correspondingly connected wheel, so that the two wheels are arranged asymmetrically and parallel offset
