Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of adjusting the kingpin inclination angle and the wheel camber angle, and in particular to a steering modular mechanism capable of adjusting the kingpin inclination angle and the wheel camber angle. Background Art

[0002] The kingpin caster angle mainly refers to the upper end of the kingpin axis slightly tilted backward. In the longitudinal vertical plane, the angle between the kingpin axis and the vertical line is called the kingpin caster angle. Its value is closely related to the steering and handling performance of the car. If the kingpin caster angle is too small, when the car is driving in a straight line, the front wheel is prone to shimmy, the steering wheel is swaying, the steering wheel's automatic self-centering ability becomes weak after turning, and the driver will lose the sense of the road; when the kingpin caster angles of the left and right wheels are not equal, the vehicle will cause deviation when driving in a straight line, and the driver dare not let go of the steering wheel, making it difficult to operate or easily causing driver fatigue;

[0003] The wheel camber angle refers to the inclination angle of the actual center line of the wheel relative to the ideal vertical inward or outward. If the wheel is tilted outward, the wheel roll angle is positive. If the wheel is tilted inward, the wheel roll angle is negative. The ideal wheel camber angle is zero. When the actual vehicle is driving, it is necessary to change the wheel roll angle to compensate for the influence of various loads and driving conditions on the wheel roll angle. The purpose is to improve the safety of the wheel when it is working. Since there are assembly gaps between the kingpin and the bushing, the wheel hub and the bearing, these gaps affect the normal operation of the wheel to varying degrees. Since the wheel rotates around the center and radius of the kingpin axis when turning, a large torque will be generated around the steering kingpin due to the rolling resistance of the tire, thereby increasing the steering force. The greater the offset, the greater the torque generated. When there is a camber angle, the offset can be reduced, so the steering force can be reduced. In addition, when the wheel is cambered, a component force applied to the mandrel will be generated under the action of the vertical load, causing the wheel to press inward on the bearing to prevent the wheel from falling off. When the wheel camber angle does not meet the requirements, the wear of the ball joint and wheel bearing will increase (negative camber inner bearing wear increases; positive camber outer bearing wear increases). When the camber angle is too large, or unequal on the left and right, it will also cause the vehicle to deviate to the side with a larger positive camber angle.

[0004] A reverse tricycle is a type of three-wheeled motorcycle, generally with two wheels in the front and one wheel in the back. The castor angle and camber angle of the reverse tricycle need to be fixed before leaving the factory to achieve the optimal driving parameters of the three-wheeled motorcycle.

[0005] However, the castor angle and wheel camber angle of existing reverse tricycles are fixed. When they need to be adjusted, the tricycle needs to be lifted up and adjusted with special tools, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. For some reverse tricycles used in college competitions, they need to be driven on tracks with different working conditions, which puts a great test on the performance of the vehicle. The real-time adjustment of the castor angle and wheel camber angle is particularly important. Therefore, the present application provides a steering modular mechanism with adjustable kingpin inclination and wheel camber to meet the needs. Summary of the invention
