Benefits of technology

The present invention is a caster active control system that can automatically adjust the angle of a wheel in a vehicle to improve its movement ability, driving safety, and turning ability. This system can optimize the steering force and assist force, and significantly improve nose-down in sudden braking. Overall, it enhances the vehicle's performance and stability under various driving conditions.

Problems solved by technology

In the related art, however, there is no system that can automatically adjust the caster angle of a vehicle, such that the caster angle of a wheel has to be manually adjusted.

Abstract

A caster active control system that is mounted on a suspension including a strut assembly for automatically adjusting a cater angle of a wheel of a vehicle, may include a fixed frame that is fixed to a vehicle body, a movable frame slidably mounted on a bottom of the fixed frame and configured to reciprocate in a front-rear direction of the wheel, a strut mount unit fixed to the movable frame and connected with an upper end of the strut assembly, and an operation module disposed between the fixed frame and the movable frame and engaged with the movabkle frame, wherein the operation module is driven by a motor to move the movable frame in the front-rear direction of the wheel.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION[0001]The present application claims priority to Korean Patent Application No. 10-2013-0098343 filed on Aug. 20, 2013, the entire contents of which is incorporated herein for all purposes by this reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]An exemplary embodiment of the present invention relates to a suspension system of a vehicle. More particularly, the present invention relates to a caster active control system of a vehicle for automatically adjusting a cast angle of a wheel.[0004]2. Description of Related Art[0005]In general, the front wheels of a vehicle include a camber, a caster, a king-pin, and a toe-in, which mean geometric angles, in consideration of driving performance, stability, and adjustability.[0006]In this case, in a suspension using a strut, the straight line connecting the upper end of a strut assembly and the ball joint of a lower arm is called a king-pin axis and the angle made by an extension li...
