Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mining dump truck technology, specifically to a MacPherson strut A-arm connection structure for a mining dump truck and a mining truck chassis. Background Technology

[0002] The suspension system is a crucial component of the mining truck chassis. A well-designed suspension system contributes to the overall comfort and handling stability of the mining truck. The gas spring non-independent suspension consists of gas springs, lateral thrust rods, buffer blocks, and longitudinal thrust rods. The gas springs, installed between the frame and axle, mitigate the impact force from the road surface acting on the wheels as it is transmitted to the frame, while also damping the resulting vibrations. The upper and lower longitudinal thrust rods transmit longitudinal forces and withstand the reaction torque caused by braking forces. One lower longitudinal thrust rod is mounted between the front axle and the longitudinal beam on each side, while an upper longitudinal thrust rod is mounted on the inner support of the front axle and the longitudinal beam. The upper and lower longitudinal thrust rods form a parallelogram to ensure that the caster angle remains constant during wheel vertical movement. The lateral thrust rod is mounted on the support between the left longitudinal beam and the right side of the front axle, transmitting lateral forces.

[0003] In a candle-type suspension, the kingpin is rigidly fixed to the suspension, and the steering knuckle is connected to the sleeve. When the wheel bounces, the steering knuckle and sleeve move together along the kingpin axis. For the steering wheel, the kingpin's positioning angle does not change when the suspension deforms; only the track width and wheelbase change slightly. Therefore, this is beneficial for the car's steering control and driving stability. However, the lateral forces are entirely borne by the long sleeve fitted onto the kingpin and the kingpin itself, resulting in high frictional resistance and severe wear between the sleeve and the kingpin.

[0004] The MacPherson strut suspension consists of a coil spring, a shock absorber, and a triangular lower control arm (A-arm). The coil spring is connected to the shock absorber, the lower part of the shock absorber is connected to the upper part of the steering knuckle, and the triangular lower control arm is connected to the lower part of the steering knuckle. The swing-type connection structure of the MacPherson front suspension can effectively reduce the friction between the cylinder and the piston rod, providing effective cushioning against impacts from bumpy roads and large gravel, giving the driver a comfortable driving experience.

[0005] Unlike traditional air spring non-independent suspensions and cantilever suspensions, MacPherson strut suspensions are usually designed with A-arms. However, the A-arms of MacPherson strut suspensions are connected to the lower part of the steering knuckle. Therefore, the connection of the steering arm has become a technical problem, which makes it impossible for MacPherson strut suspensions to be used on the chassis of mining trucks.
