[0034] In the description of the present invention, "plurality" means two or more.
[0035] A vehicle suspension 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
[0036] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the vehicle suspension 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a leaf spring 100 , a wheel end mounting seat 200 and an air spring 300 .
[0037] The leaf spring 100 is suitable for connecting with the vehicle frame, the wheel end mounting seat 200 is mounted on the leaf spring 100 and is provided with a wheel end mounting hole 201, the wheel end mounting hole 201 is suitable for connecting with the wheel end structure, the air spring 300 is connected with the wheel end mounting seat 200, and the air spring 300 is suitable for connecting with the vehicle frame. In the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of the air spring 300 intersects obliquely with the orthographic projection of the vertical line L2 of the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 at the intersection m, and the intersection m is located below the wheel end mounting hole 201. In the plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201, the vertical line refers to the line connecting the center of gravity of the object and the center of gravity of the earth.
[0038] For example, the wheel end mounting seat 200 and the leaf spring 100 are connected by a U-shaped bolt, and the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting seat 200 are connected by a bolt thread.
[0039] According to the vehicle suspension 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the leaf spring 100 is connected to the frame, the wheel-end mounting seat 200 is installed on the leaf spring 100 and is provided with a wheel-end mounting hole 201, the wheel-end mounting hole 201 is connected to the wheel-end structure, the air spring 300 is connected to the wheel-end mounting seat 200, and the air spring 300 is connected to the frame.
[0040] In this way, the leaf spring 100 plays the role of fixing the positions of the vehicle frame, the wheel end structure and the air spring 300. The vibration force of the wheel end structure is transmitted to the vehicle frame through the leaf spring 100 and the air spring 300. The leaf spring 100 and the air spring 300 can jointly reduce vibration between the vehicle frame and the wheel end structure. The air spring 300 takes stiffness (load action) as the main body 210 and guide action as the auxiliary, and the leaf spring 100 takes stiffness (load action) as the auxiliary and guide action as the main body 210. The two cooperate with each other, and the comfort of the vehicle using the vehicle suspension 1 of the embodiment of the present invention is greatly improved. In addition, increasing the installation points of the leaf spring 100 and the air spring 300 makes the overall structure simpler and the unsprung mass is greatly reduced.
[0041] In addition, in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of the air spring 300 intersects obliquely with the orthographic projection of the perpendicular line L2 of the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201 at an intersection m, and the intersection m is located below the wheel-end mounting hole 201.
[0042] In this way, the air spring 300 and the wheel-end mounting hole 201 are staggered in the front-rear direction of the vehicle. When the vehicle suspension 1 moves, the displacement of the lower end of the air spring 300 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle and the displacement of the rear mounting point of the leaf spring 100 in the front-rear direction of the vehicle maintain a relative difference. This difference can increase the service life of the air spring 300, control the linear change of the wheelbase, and greatly improve the comfort of the vehicle using the vehicle suspension 1 of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0043] In addition, if Figure 1As shown, the wheel end structure is subjected to road feedback and excitation, forming a compressive force that drives the vehicle suspension 1 to move upward. The force is transmitted from the wheel end structure to the wheel end mounting seat 200, and the wheel end mounting seat 200 transmits the compressive force to the air spring 300 and the leaf spring 100. The air spring 300 and the leaf spring 100 form elastic deformation. The compressive force is decomposed into three components, which are transmitted to the connection point of the leaf spring 100 with the vehicle and the connection point of the air spring 300 with the wheel end mounting seat 200 respectively. The leaf spring 100 generates an upward force at the front mounting point, and The rear mounting point has a downward force, so that the leaf spring 100 has a torsional force. Since the air spring 300 and the wheel-end mounting hole 201 are staggered in the front-to-rear direction of the vehicle, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of the air spring 300 and the orthographic projection of the perpendicular line L2 of the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201 have an intersection in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201, and the intersection m is located below the wheel-end mounting hole 201. In this way, the air spring 300 can generate a force to offset the above-mentioned torsional force to increase the comfort and safety of the vehicle.
[0044] As such, the vehicle suspension 1 according to the embodiment of the present invention has advantages such as high comfort and safety.
[0045] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the vertical line L2 of the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 has a grounding point g intersecting with the ground G, and the vertical height difference x between the intersection point m and the grounding point g is not greater than 10 mm, wherein the intersection point m can be higher than the grounding point g, lower than the grounding point g, or coincide with the grounding point g as a point. In this way, the air spring 300 can more effectively offset the above-mentioned torsional force to increase the comfort and safety of the vehicle.
[0046] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the grounding point g coincides with the intersection point m. In this way, the air spring 300 can more effectively offset the above-mentioned torsional force to increase the comfort and safety of the vehicle.
[0047] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the two ends of the leaf spring 100 are respectively suitable for connection with the vehicle frame, and the midpoint of the line L3 connecting the two ends of the leaf spring 100 and the center of the wheel end mounting hole 201 are staggered along the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. In this way, since the rotation center of the lower end of the air spring 300 and the rear mounting point of the leaf spring 100 are the same, but the rotation radius of the two is different, when the vehicle suspension 1 moves, the displacement of the lower end of the air spring 300 in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle and the displacement of the rear mounting point of the leaf spring 100 in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle maintain a relative difference, and this difference can make the force of the air spring 300 balanced, increase the life of the air spring 300, control the linear change of the wheelbase, and greatly improve the comfort of the vehicle using the vehicle suspension 1 of the embodiment of the present invention.
[0048] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the center of the wheel end mounting hole 201 is located behind the midpoint of the line L3 connecting the two ends of the leaf spring 100. In this way, the air spring 300 and the half shaft connected to the wheel end structure can be misaligned in the front-rear direction of the vehicle to avoid interference between the air spring 300 and the half shaft connected to the wheel end structure.
[0049] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection point between the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting seat 200 is staggered with the center of the wheel end mounting hole 201 in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle. In this way, the connection point between the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting seat 200 and the half-axle connected to the wheel end structure can be staggered in the front-to-back direction of the vehicle to avoid interference between the air spring 300 and the half-axle connected to the wheel end structure.
[0050] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the connection point between the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting seat 200 is located in front of the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201. In this way, while ensuring that the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting hole 201 are misaligned in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the layout of the frame suspension is optimized and the vibration reduction performance of the vehicle suspension 1 is improved.
[0051] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the air spring 300 is one and is located in front of or behind the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201. In this way, the air spring 300 can be prevented from being misaligned with the half-axle connected to the wheel end structure in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, thereby preventing interference between the air spring 300 and the half-axle connected to the wheel end structure.
[0052] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, there are multiple air springs 300, wherein the multiple air springs 300 are all located in front of the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201, or the multiple air springs 300 are all located behind the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201, or the multiple air springs 300 are respectively located in front of and behind the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201.
[0053] For example, in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of each air spring 300 and the orthographic projection of the perpendicular line L2 of the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201 are relatively inclined and have an intersection, and the intersection m is located below the wheel-end mounting hole 201; or, in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of an air spring 300 and the orthographic projection of the perpendicular line L2 of the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201 are relatively inclined and have an intersection m, and the intersection is located below the wheel-end mounting hole 201; or again, in a plane perpendicular to the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201, the orthographic projection of the central axis L1 of several of the multiple air springs 300 and the orthographic projection of the perpendicular line L2 of the central axis of the wheel-end mounting hole 201 are relatively inclined and have an intersection m, and the intersection m is located below the wheel-end mounting hole 201.
[0054] In this way, the arrangement of the vehicle suspension 1 is more diverse, which is conducive to applying the vehicle suspension 1 to vehicles of different models and sizes, thereby improving the applicability of the vehicle suspension 1.
[0055] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wheel end mounting seat 200 includes a main body 210 and a wheel end mounting portion 220 .
[0056] The main body 210 is installed on the leaf spring 100, the air spring 300 is connected to the main body 210, the wheel end mounting portion 220 is connected to the main body 210 and extends forward or backward from the wheel end mounting portion 220, the wheel end mounting hole 201 is constructed on the wheel end mounting portion 220, and the wheel end mounting hole 201 and the main body 210 are staggered in the front and rear direction of the vehicle.
[0057] For example, the main body 210 and the leaf spring 100 are connected by a U-shaped bolt, and the air spring 300 and the main body 210 are connected by a bolt thread.
[0058] In this way, not only can the wheel end mounting seat 200 be connected and fixed to the air spring 300 and the wheel end structure respectively, but also the air spring 300 and the wheel end structure can be misaligned in the front-rear direction.
[0059] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the left-right direction of the vehicle, the wheel end mounting portion 220 is located outside the leaf spring 100. It should be noted that when the leaf spring 100 is located on the left side of the vehicle, the outside of the leaf spring 100 refers to the left side of the leaf spring 100; when the leaf spring 100 is located on the right side of the vehicle, the outside of the leaf spring 100 refers to the right side of the leaf spring 100. In this way, when the wheel end structure is installed on the wheel end mounting portion 220, it is not easy for the leaf spring 100 to interfere, which is conducive to the installation of the wheel end structure.
[0060] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are at least two leaf springs 100 spaced apart in the left-right direction of the vehicle, and each leaf spring 100 is mounted with a wheel end mounting seat 200 connected to an air spring 300, wherein two adjacent wheel end mounting seats 200 are connected via an elastic torsion bar 400.
[0061] For example, the cross section of the elastic torsion bar 400 may be circular or square. In addition, the portion from the connection point of the leaf spring 100 with the wheel end mounting seat 200 to the front end of the leaf spring 100, the wheel end mounting seat 200 and the elastic torsion bar 400 may be regarded as a trailing arm suspension.
[0062] By setting the elastic torsion bar 400, when the wheel on the left side of the vehicle bounces under force, the elastic torsion bar 400 can be twisted and elastically deformed, and the elastic torsion bar 400 will transmit the vibration force to the wheel on the right side of the vehicle. In this way, the elastic torsion bar 400 can play the role of a lateral stabilizer bar, and the two adjacent wheel end mounting seats 200 of the vehicle can transmit the bouncing force to each other through the elastic torsion bar 400, and the vehicle suspension 1 is a semi-independent composite suspension.
[0063] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the distance between the connection point between the air spring 300 and the wheel end mounting seat 200 and the elastic torsion bar 400 is smaller than the distance between the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 and the elastic torsion bar 400. In this way, the multiple air springs 300 transmit force through the elastic torsion bar 400, and the vibration reduction effect of the vehicle suspension 1 is better, which is conducive to improving the comfort of the vehicle.
[0064] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, the vehicle suspension 1 further includes a shock absorber (not shown in the figure), which is mounted on the wheel end mounting seat 200, and the shock absorber and the wheel end mounting hole 201 are staggered in the front and rear direction of the vehicle. In this way, the shock absorber will not interfere with the half shaft connected to the wheel end structure, and the shock absorber can reduce the vibration of the vehicle when the vehicle is driving on a bumpy road, and the vibration reduction effect is further improved. The shock absorber is mounted on the wheel end mounting seat 200, and the wheel end mounting seat 200 integrates the function of installing the shock absorber, which improves the integration, does not need to set an additional positioning structure for the shock absorber, and reduces the cost.
[0065] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the wheel end mounting seat 200 has a shock absorber mounting portion 230, the shock absorber mounting portion 230 is located below the leaf spring 100, and the shock absorber is connected to the shock absorber mounting portion 230. In this way, the shock absorber mounting portion 230 is also integrated into the wheel end mounting seat 200, and the wheel end mounting seat 200 has a higher degree of integration, which is conducive to reducing the number of parts and reducing production costs. In addition, the shock absorber mounting portion 230 is located below the leaf spring 100, which fully utilizes the space in the up and down directions of the vehicle.
[0066] According to some specific embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the vehicle suspension 1 further includes a first mounting seat 110 , a lifting eye 120 and a second mounting seat 130 .
[0067] The first mounting seat 110 is rotatably mounted on one end of the leaf spring 100, and the first mounting seat 110 is suitable for connecting with the vehicle frame, the hanging ear 120 is rotatably mounted on the other end of the leaf spring 100, and the second mounting seat 130 is rotatably mounted on the swing arm, and the second mounting seat 130 is suitable for connecting with the vehicle frame. In the front-to-back direction of the vehicle, the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 is closer to the second mounting seat 130 than the first mounting seat 110.
[0068] By providing the first mounting seat 110, the hanging ear 120 and the second mounting seat 130, the two ends of the leaf spring 100 can move and rotate relative to the frame in the front-rear direction and the up-down direction of the vehicle, which is beneficial to the deformation of the leaf spring 100. In addition, in the front-rear direction of the vehicle, the distance between the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 and the first mounting seat 110 is greater than the distance between the central axis of the wheel end mounting hole 201 and the second mounting seat 130, so that the vehicle suspension 1 has a better vibration reduction effect and a higher ride comfort.
