An Independent Suspension with Elastic Elements and Reversing Mechanism

Abstract

The invention provides an independent suspension with an elastic element and a reversing mechanism, By changing the mounting orientation of the elastic element for providing the suspension rigidity through the reversing mechanism, the elastic element can be placed inside or at the bottom of the vehicle body, thereby effectively saving the wheel side space, effectively solving the problem that theindependent suspension occupies too much wheel side space, and providing convenience for the vehicle body design and modeling. Comprises a wheel rim system coaxially fixed to the tire, a guide mechanism with one end hinged to the wheel rim system, and an elastic element connected to the vehicle frame; Also includes: push rod and reversing mechanism; The guide mechanism comprises two sets of wishbone arms, one end of which is articulated with the wheel rim system; One end of the push rod is fixedly connected with one set of wishbone arms, and the other end is fixedly connected with a reversingmechanism; The other end of the other set of wishbone arms is connected with the reversing mechanism through a rotating shaft, and the reversing mechanism can rotate around the rotating shaft under the push of the push rod; One end of the elastic element is pinned with the reversing mechanism, and the other end is fixedly connected with the vehicle frame. When the reversing mechanism rotates around the rotating shaft, the elastic element is compressed or stretched along the axial direction of the reversing mechanism, so as to realize the effect of shock absorption and cushioning of the vehicle.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a suspension, in particular to an independent suspension with a reversing mechanism, and belongs to the technical field of vehicle design. Background technique [0002] Suspension system is one of the key subsystems of wheeled vehicles, and its influence determines the driving performance, smooth performance, handling performance and bearing performance of the vehicle. Independent suspension is an important form of suspension system. It has the following advantages: the wheels on both sides can move independently without affecting each other; the unsprung mass is reduced, which is beneficial to the ride comfort of the car; The position of components in the chassis is lowered, and the center of mass of the vehicle is lowered; the space for wheel movement is larger, which can reduce the stiffness of the suspension and improve ride comfort. [0003] Although the adoption of independent suspension will bring the above-mentioned ad...

[0003] Although the use of independent suspension will bring the above advantages to the vehicle, it will increase the complexity of the vehicle wheel system structure

At the same time, the traditional independent suspension structure often fixes the elastic element between the guide mechanism and the frame, which does not have the ability to adjust the suspension stiffness and height from the ground, and cannot make the vehicle adaptable to changing working conditions , can no longer meet the design requirements of the current high-performance vehicle suspension system
