Embodiment Construction

[0061] figure 1 A schematic rear view of a wheel suspension 1 according to the invention in a vehicle, in particular a motor vehicle, is shown. The description of other spring and / or damper elements, such as suspension struts, has been omitted for the sake of clarity, since said elements are known to a person skilled in the art from the prior art and are not primarily relevant to the invention. In addition, in figure 1 In the illustration of , the left vehicle side corresponds to the first vehicle side, and the right vehicle side corresponds to the second vehicle side.

[0062] figure 1 The vehicle shown comprises a body 2 and left and right wheel or wheel rim arrangements 3 and 4, which are passed through left and right wheel brackets 5, 6 and left and right upper transverse links 7, 8 and Left and right lower transverse links 9 , 10 are connected to the body 2 . In particular, the left and right transverse links 9 and 10 are connected at the side of the vehicle to an act...

Abstract

The invention relates to a wheel suspension for vehicles, with a vehicle body (2) and wheels (3, 4) articulated on the vehicle body by means of wheel suspension parts (5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10). The wheel suspension parts of each wheel oscillate during the driving mode, and contain a wheel carrier supporting the wheel rotatably about a wheel axle and links connecting said wheel carrier to the vehicle body. The relative movement between the vehicle body and wheel suspension parts can be detected by means of detecting means. Articulation positions (15, 16) of the same and/or other wheel suspension parts can be automatically changed by at least one actuating means depending on the relative movements detected by the detecting means. At least one first and at least one second detecting means (21, 22) are respectively assigned to first and second vehicle sides of a vehicle axle.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to wheel suspensions for vehicles, in particular to independent wheel suspensions with automatic camber adaptation. Background technique [0002] In a vehicle with independent wheel suspension, changes in the shape of the chassis during cornering (side-to-side rocking motion of the frame or body) and during compression and rebound (up-and-down motion of the frame or body) cannot be avoided. [0003] In this case, in particular, the camber angle is adversely affected during cornering. Unfavorable camber angles lead to poor handling of the vehicle, that is, given the optimal camber setting for straight ahead, the handling is affected because of the above-mentioned shape changes, for example when cornering, because the tire contact patch or Maximum possible value for cornering force. [0004] The solution for selecting the optimal camber angle for different tires may vary according to the vehicle type. For example, one pos...
