Embodiment Construction

[0087] The front wheels 2 and 3 are arranged on the wheel support parts 4 and 5, which can be hinged to the front axle 1. In the parallel position shown, the front wheels 2 and 3 are located on a common axis of rotation A-A. The steering rack 6 and the rack 7 extend substantially in parallel and are located outside the rotation axis of the front wheel. The rack 7 is located on the A-A rotation axis of the front wheels 2 and 3 or at least in the area of ​​the A-A rotation axis of the front wheels 2 and 3. In the exemplary embodiment shown, the steering rack 6 and the rack 7 are guided in the rack housings 8 and 9 in each case. The steering rack 6 and the rack 7 are guided in the rack housings 8 and 9 in such a manner that they can move back and forth in the axis direction relative to the rotation axis A-A transverse to the rack housings 8 and 9. In an advantageous embodiment, the lateral reciprocating movement of the steering rack 6 and the rack 7 is restricted to the left and...

Abstract

The front axle has front wheels (2,3) that are arranged at steerable wheel carriers (4,5). The front wheels are coupled to steering rack (6) and a rack (7) which are arranged in rack housing (8,9). The rack housing are movable in front and back directions. The steering rack and the rack are functionally coupled to each other.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to a vehicle front axle and its use as a steering system of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] The front wheel axle with a conventional front wheel suspension system has a circle of gyration, which is defined as the smallest turning radius of the front wheel when the wheel is at the maximum lock during steering. The maximum angle at which the wheel can rotate is usually called the stopping angle. For example, the contact of the unsprung weight of a brake system such as a brake disc or a brake drum with other components of the wheel suspension system such as upper, lower, and cross members limits how far the front wheels can be rotated. Therefore, it is unsatisfactory in increasing the handling performance of the vehicle, especially in urban areas. Therefore, for example, to facilitate parking or to make "U-turns" on narrow streets, for example, it would be beneficial if the turning circle of the vehicle is as small as pos...
