Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and specifically relates to a double wishbone suspension and its limiting method. Background Technology

[0002] A double wishbone suspension is a car suspension system that connects the wheels to the vehicle body via two wishbones. The upper and lower wishbones bear the lateral and longitudinal forces on the wheels, while the shock absorbers and springs primarily support the vehicle body and filter vibrations. Due to the limited length of the upper and lower wishbones, the double wishbone suspension can automatically adjust its camber angle during dynamic operation, allowing the tire to have a larger contact area, thus providing improved handling and ride quality. Its advantages include: high lateral stiffness, excellent anti-roll performance, good grip, and the ability to keep the tire firmly attached to the road surface, improving tire traction. Its disadvantages include: high manufacturing cost, complex suspension alignment parameter settings, complex maintenance, large space requirement, and high overall cost. This type of suspension is commonly used in high-performance vehicles.

[0003] Due to the complex and varied conditions of off-road terrain, vehicles are generally required to have good maneuverability. Therefore, vehicles typically need to have a flexible steering angle to ensure a flexible turning radius. In addition, due to the playability requirements of off-road vehicles, they generally need to have high ease of assembly and disassembly. Because off-roading involves jumping around at large wheel angles, the impact on the drive axle and lower suspension can be enormous, easily leading to axle breakage or ankle sprains.

[0004] In addition, off-road vehicles generally use wheels with a large height-to-width ratio and small rim size to improve off-road performance. Furthermore, to ensure reliability, the key ball joint connections of off-road vehicles are generally installed downwards. These two requirements result in relatively poor ease of disassembly and assembly of the lower control arm, because the upper part of the lower control arm ball joint is the drive shaft. If the control arm is removed, the drive shaft must be removed first. In addition, if the spline structure of the drive shaft fixed joint or sliding joint is particularly long, it will make disassembly and assembly even more difficult, which seriously hinders the ease of disassembly and assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems in the background art, this invention proposes a double wishbone suspension and its limiting method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A double wishbone suspension includes a steering knuckle assembly and a lower control arm;

[0008] The steering knuckle assembly includes:

[0009] Steering knuckle body;

[0010] And, a ball joint mounting bracket connected to the steering knuckle body;

[0011] And, a first limiting bracket installed on the steering knuckle body;

[0012] The first limiting bracket is provided in several units, located on both sides of the ball pin mounting base;

[0013] One end of the lower cantilever is movably connected to the ball pin mounting seat, and the other end is movably connected to the vehicle beam;

[0014] The lower cantilever is provided with first limiting blocks on both sides of its surface. The first limiting blocks are used to abut against the first limiting bracket to limit the maximum steering angle of the wheel.

[0015] Preferably, the end of the steering knuckle body away from the lower suspension arm is also connected to an upper suspension arm, and the end of the upper suspension arm away from the steering knuckle body is connected to the vehicle frame.

[0016] Preferably, in the steering knuckle assembly:

[0017] Two of the first limiting brackets are provided;

[0018] The surface where the first limiting bracket abuts against the first limiting block is a series of continuous curved surfaces;

[0019] The maximum steering angle is greatest when the lower cantilever is in its initial position.

[0020] In the lower cantilever:

[0021] The surface where the first limiting block abuts against the first limiting bracket is an arc surface, and the angle between the two surfaces in the arc surface is ≥120°.

[0022] Preferably, the lower cantilever is provided with a first connector at one end and a second connector at the other end;

[0023] The first joint is connected to the vehicle beam via a ball joint;

[0024] The second connector is connected to the ball pin mounting base via a ball pin.

[0025] Preferably, a second limiting block is provided on the surface of the lower cantilever;

[0026] A second limiting bracket is installed on the vehicle beam;

[0027] Along the vibration direction of the lower cantilever, the second limiting bracket is used to block the second limiting block; the second limiting block is trapezoidal.

[0028] Preferably, the lower cantilever surface is further provided with a limit seat, the limit seat is rotatably connected to a shock absorber, and the end of the shock absorber away from the limit seat is connected to the vehicle beam by bolts.

[0029] Preferably, the lower cantilever is also connected to a stabilizer bar.

[0030] Preferably, a fastening bolt is also provided in the steering knuckle assembly;

[0031] The fastening bolts are used to detachably install the first limiting bracket to the steering knuckle body.

[0032] A limiting method for the aforementioned double wishbone suspension includes the following steps:

[0033] When the vehicle turns, the first limiting brackets on both sides of the ball pin mounting seat abut against the first limiting block to limit the maximum steering angle of the wheel;

[0034] And / or, when the lower cantilever vibrates, the value of the maximum steering angle is changed by the first limiting bracket abutting against the first limiting block.

[0035] Preferably, when the lower cantilever vibrates, the value of the maximum steering angle is changed by the first limiting bracket abutting against the first limiting block, including the following steps:

[0036] When the lower cantilever vibrates, if the contact position between the first limiting block and the first limiting bracket gradually moves away from the initial position, the value of the maximum steering angle gradually decreases; if the contact position between the first limiting block and the first limiting bracket gradually moves closer to the initial position, the value of the maximum steering angle gradually increases.

[0037] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0038] 1. The present invention installs a first limiting block on the lower cantilever and a corresponding first limiting bracket on the steering knuckle assembly. During steering, the maximum steering angle can be limited by the first limiting bracket. In addition, when vibration occurs, the value of the maximum steering angle can be changed after the first limiting bracket and the first limiting block abut against each other, thereby ensuring that the vehicle has a flexible turning radius. This allows for flexible adjustment of the impact of wheel end impact on the drive shaft, control, and steering knuckle during jumps, thereby improving the reliability of the vehicle.

[0039] 2. The present invention is equipped with a fastening bolt and a first limiting bracket. When assembling or repairing the steering knuckle assembly, the first limiting bracket can be disassembled and assembled from the steering knuckle body through the fastening bolt, which improves convenience.

[0054] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0055] A type of double wishbone suspension, such as Figure 1 As shown, the system includes a steering knuckle assembly 1, a lower suspension arm 2, a shock absorber, and a stabilizer bar 4. The steering knuckle assembly 1 is symmetrically arranged, with its lower end movably connected to the lower suspension arm 2 and its upper end movably connected to the vehicle's frame 5. One end of the shock absorber is movably connected to the lower suspension arm 2, and the other end is connected to the vehicle frame 5. The stabilizer bar 4 is connected to the symmetrical steering knuckle assembly 1.

[0056] It should be noted that, Figure 1 In this structure, the steering knuckle assembly 1 is mounted on both wheels, and the lower control arm 2 and shock absorber are also symmetrically mounted on both sides. During wheel steering and vibration, the steering knuckle assembly 1 and the lower control arm 2 can control the maximum steering angle through the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting bracket. Specifically, in the commonly used area of ​​the vehicle's damping travel, steering is not limited, thus ensuring that the turning radius is not affected, i.e., maintaining vehicle maneuverability; in the less commonly used area of ​​the damping travel, the wheel angle is gradually limited by the change in the upper limit curvature of the limiting bracket to increase the clearance between the wheel and the wheel arch, which also reduces the risk of vehicle jumps and steering knuckle breakage or ankle sprains at the steering limit position.

[0057] The following is combined Figures 2-8 The structure of the double wishbone suspension will be further explained.

[0058] like Figure 2 As shown, the steering knuckle assembly 1 includes a steering knuckle body 101, a ball joint mounting base 102, and a first limiting bracket 103. The ball joint mounting base 102 can be integrally connected to the bottom of the steering knuckle body 101. The first limiting bracket 103 can be integrally connected to the steering knuckle body 101 or detachably mounted thereon. Two first limiting brackets 103 are provided, located on either side of the ball joint mounting base 102. Furthermore, an upper suspension arm 104 is rotatably connected to the end of the steering knuckle body 101 away from the lower suspension arm 2. The end of the upper suspension arm 104 away from the steering knuckle body 101 can be connected to the vehicle frame 5 via a ball joint.

[0059] It should be noted that when the vehicle is turning, the maximum steering angle is the rotation angle of the wheel after it is limited by the two first limit brackets 103. When the lower cantilever 2 abuts against the first limit brackets 103, its steering range is limited, thereby controlling the maximum steering angle of the car.

[0060] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the first limiting bracket 103 can be installed on the steering knuckle body 101 with the fastening bolt 105. It makes the connection part between the steering knuckle assembly 1 and the lower suspension arm 2 into an independent component and connects it to the steering knuckle body 101 by bolts, which improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the lower suspension arm 2 and the drive shaft.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the lower suspension 2 has a first connector 201 at one end and a second connector 202 at the other end. The first connector 201 is U-shaped and can be connected to the vehicle frame 5 via a ball joint; the second connector 202 can be connected to the ball joint mounting seat 102 via a ball joint. Additionally, first limiting blocks 203 are provided on both sides of the lower suspension 2. When the vehicle turns, the first limiting bracket 103 is used to limit the maximum steering angle of the wheel by abutting against the first limiting block 203. When the lower suspension 2 vibrates, the position of the first limiting bracket 103 and the first limiting block 203 will change, thus increasing or decreasing the maximum steering angle.

[0062] It should be noted that, in combination Figure 1 and Figure 4 The lower cantilever 2 has a first limiting bracket 103 (or a limiting block) on a component (such as a steering knuckle) that rotates around the kingpin (the line connecting the ball joints of the upper and lower cantilever arms); and a first limiting block 203 (or a limiting bracket) on a corresponding component that does not rotate around the kingpin (such as the lower cantilever 2). When the wheel reaches the steering limit and is in the common wheel jump range, the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting bracket's limiting surface does not affect the vehicle's turning angle. When the wheel reaches the steering limit and the wheel jumps to its maximum travel, the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting bracket's limiting surface will reduce the vehicle's turning angle, thereby reducing the impact of wheel end impact on the drive shaft, control, and steering knuckle during jumps, thus improving the vehicle's reliability.

[0063] It should be further explained that in order to adjust the vehicle's steering angle when the wheels vibrate, the structure of the limit block and limit bracket needs further optimization. The following will combine... Figure 5 The following explanation is provided in conjunction with Figure 6.

[0064] Combination Figure 5As shown in Figure 6, in the steering knuckle assembly 1, there are two first limiting brackets 103. The maximum steering angle is the angle between the two first limiting brackets 103 with the ball pin mounting seat 102 as the vertex. The surfaces where the first limiting brackets 103 and the first limiting block 203 abut are several continuous curved surfaces. When the lower cantilever 2 is in the initial position, if the first limiting block 203 turns and abuts against the first limiting bracket 103, the maximum steering angle is at its maximum. Specifically, through... Figure 6a It can be seen that the continuous curved surface can be divided into two segments, where a is the initial position, and a1, a2, and b are the positions that the first limiting block 203 can move to during vibration. When turning at the initial position, the maximum steering angle corresponding to the first limiting block 203 is the largest. As the vehicle vibrates, the lower suspension 2 will also vibrate, and the first limiting block 203 will move up or down relatively, thus the maximum steering angle corresponding to the first limiting block 203 will decrease.

[0065] like Figure 6b As shown, at this time, the first limit block 203 is in contact with the position of a1, and the value of the maximum steering angle is reduced relative to the initial position a.

[0066] like Figure 6c As shown, at this time, the first limiting block 203 is in contact with position b of the curved surface, and the value of the maximum steering angle is reduced relative to the initial position a.

[0067] In addition, the shape of the first limiting bracket 103 is strongly related to the shape of the first limiting block 203. In order to ensure the smooth transition of the limiting surface of the first limiting bracket 103 and prevent jamming during use, the surface of the first limiting block 203 that abuts against the first limiting bracket 103 is an arc surface with a large surface curvature and an angle of at least 120° between the surfaces; and the height of the limiting block is not less than 30mm and the thickness is not less than 20mm.

[0068] like Figure 7 As shown, a second limiting block 204 is provided on the surface of the lower cantilever 2, and a second limiting bracket 501 is installed on the vehicle beam 5. Along the vibration direction of the lower cantilever 2, the second limiting block 204 is blocked by the second limiting bracket 501. The second limiting block 204 is trapezoidal in shape, and further combined with… Figure 8 It can be seen that the second limiting bracket 501 is located above the second limiting block 204. When the second limiting block 204 vibrates, the second limiting bracket 501 can block the second limiting block 204, causing it to vibrate within a certain range.

[0069] It should be noted that, in Figure 7 and Figure 8In the structure, to improve the reliability of vehicle jumps, a second limiting block 204 is simultaneously installed on the lower cantilever 2, and a second limiting bracket 501 of the suspension is installed on the main beam 5. The two work together to prevent interference and impact problems caused by insufficient single-point limiting of the buffer block during vehicle jumps, and to prevent excessive force at the mounting point due to excessive force from the buffer block. Additionally, it ensures that wheel travel is limited during jumps to prevent dynamic interference or abnormal noise from vehicle components; and simultaneously shares the force on the shock absorber's buffer block.

[0070] It needs to be further explained that, in Figures 1-8 In this system, the positions of the limit block and the limit bracket can be interchanged, and the resulting effect is the same as... Figures 1-8 The embodiments are the same.

[0071] Furthermore, such as Figure 8 As shown, a limit seat 205 is also provided on the surface of the lower cantilever 2. A shock absorber is rotatably connected to the limit seat 205. The end of the shock absorber away from the limit seat 205 is connected to the vehicle beam 5 by bolts.

[0072] It should be noted that the end of the shock absorber 3 is a nut structure with a smooth inner surface, which rotatably engages with the limiting seat 205. Additionally, the limiting seat 205 has an opening, the size of which is slightly larger than the opposite side dimension of the nut but smaller than the diagonal dimension.

[0073] A limiting method, used for Figures 1-8 The double wishbone suspension mainly includes the following steps:

[0074] When the vehicle turns, the first limiting bracket 103 on both sides of the ball pin mounting seat 102 abuts against the first limiting block 203 to limit the maximum steering angle of the wheel; and / or, when the lower suspension arm 2 vibrates (when the vehicle vibrates), the value of the maximum steering angle is changed by the first limiting bracket 103 abutting against the first limiting block 203.

[0075] Furthermore, when the lower cantilever 2 vibrates, the value of the maximum steering angle is changed by the first limiting bracket 103 abutting against the first limiting block 203, including the following steps:

[0076] When the lower cantilever 2 vibrates, if the contact position between the first limiting block 203 and the first limiting bracket 103 gradually moves away from the initial position, the value of the maximum steering angle gradually decreases; if the contact position between the first limiting block 203 and the first limiting bracket 103 gradually moves closer to the initial position, the value of the maximum steering angle gradually increases.

[0077] The following is combined Figures 1-8 The structure and limiting method are explained to illustrate the limiting situation.

[0078] (1) The vehicle turns without vibration

[0079] When the vehicle turns, the first limiting block 203 corresponds to the initial curved surface of the first limiting bracket 103. At this time, the wheel turns with the steering knuckle assembly 1, and its maximum steering angle is determined by the first limiting brackets 103 on both sides. Taking the structure in Figure 6 as an example, if the curved surface of the first limiting block 203 abuts against the curved surface of the first limiting bracket 103, its maximum steering angle is denoted as A1.

[0080] (2) The vehicle was vibrating and did not turn.

[0081] The lower cantilever 2 vibrates in response to the vehicle's vibrations. During this vibration, the first limiting block 203 can move back and forth along the vibration direction, and correspondingly, the curvature of the first limiting bracket 103 corresponding to the first limiting block 203 will also change back and forth. For example, if the first limiting block 203 moves upward, its corresponding curved surface will be the upper end of the initial curved surface or exceed the initial curved surface to reach the second curved surface. If the vehicle turns at this time, the value of its maximum steering angle will also decrease.

[0082] (3) The vehicle turns and vibrates.

[0083] When the vehicle reaches its maximum steering angle, the first limiting block 203 of the lower suspension 2 abuts against the curved surface of the first limiting bracket 103. Simultaneously, the maximum steering angle changes during the vibration of the lower suspension 2. Taking the structure in Figure 6 as an example, if the first limiting block 203 abuts against the initial curved surface of the first limiting bracket 103, the maximum steering angle is A1; if the first limiting block 203 moves upward, the maximum steering angle is A... i A i <A1, i>1. Additionally, if the vehicle has reached its maximum steering angle and then vibrates, the maximum steering angle will also change.

[0084] like Figure 9 The diagram shown illustrates the relationship between vibration travel and maximum steering travel. Based on vehicle usage scenarios and layout requirements, different wheel angle curves are set for different suspension travel distances. According to the vehicle suspension geometry, suspension travel distance can be converted into shock absorber travel distance, and wheel angle can be converted into steering rack travel distance. The different wheel angle curves corresponding to different suspension travel distances can be transformed into a relationship between shock absorber travel distance and steering rack travel curves.

[0085] It should be noted that, for Figures 1-8 There are many design ideas for the shape design of the limiting block and limiting bracket in the middle. The following is a specific method.

[0086] First, a limiting block is installed on the cantilever, and a limiting bracket body is designed on the steering knuckle to build a dynamic model of the suspension DMU. Based on the relationship between steering travel and damping travel, the suspension DMU is adjusted to different wheel bounce positions. Then, by designing a cutting function, the limiting block on the cantilever is used to cut the limiting block bracket body. At each suspension position shown in the steering travel vs. damping travel relationship diagram, the limiting block on the cantilever is used to cut the limiting block bracket body, ultimately forming the limiting surface on the limiting bracket.

[0087] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features; and these modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
