Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicles, specifically to a suspension and steering system of new energy vehicles, and in particular to a distributed drive chassis platform with four-wheel independent steering. Background Art
[0002] As the trend of the "new four modernizations" continues to deepen, intelligence and networking have gradually become the protagonists of the automotive industry. The development of intelligent and connected vehicles will bring unprecedented changes and opportunities to the industry. With the disappearance of the demographic dividend, driverless cars face unprecedented development opportunities.
[0003] General-purpose intelligent wire-controlled vehicles refer to autonomous driving vehicles that completely omit human driving mechanisms and are used to replace humans in performing a variety of specific tasks, including logistics, distribution, transportation, cleaning, ferrying, retail, patrolling, combat, attack, reconnaissance and other military or civilian tasks, but the low-speed environment is more complex.
[0004] However, there are currently few fully automated, mass-producible, and automotive-grade fully controlled-by-wire chassis on the market. These products face numerous challenges, including closed protocols, high modification costs, low control accuracy, poor system reliability, and limited generality and modularity. With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, existing technologies primarily replace the engine with a central motor, without altering the overall vehicle structure or transmission. Furthermore, they utilize traditional suspension and steering mechanisms, preventing independent steering of each wheel. This results in a large turning radius, making turns and U-turns in confined areas difficult.
[0005] With the development of drive-by-wire and electrification, EMBs and in-wheel motors have emerged. Urgent challenges currently include rationally designing the suspension, braking, steering, and drive systems to effectively integrate in-wheel motors with the suspension and steering mechanisms; reducing the vehicle's minimum turning radius to enable easy turns and U-turns on narrow streets; and designing the suspension guidance system to control suspension stiffness and damping to enhance vehicle handling and comfort.

[0060] In specific implementation, Figure 3 As shown, the upper front control arm 5 includes an upper front control arm body 501, an upper front control arm inner bushing 502 and an upper front control arm outer bushing 503.

An articulated seat structure is provided at the middle intersection of the human figure for articulated connection with the air spring and electronic damper CDC assembly 3.
[0064] like Figure 7 As shown, the corner module mounting plate 1 includes a corner module mounting plate body 104, which is formed by the top of the vertical plate being horizontally bent and extended toward the wheel hub, and the bottom of the corner module mounting plate body 104 is provided with a lower control arm front point mounting seat 102 and a lower control arm rear point mounting seat 103 respectively used to be hinged to the two forked ends of the lower control arm 2, and the upper middle part of the corner module mounting plate body 104 is provided with an upper front control arm mounting seat 101 and an upper rear control arm mounting seat 105 respectively used to be hinged to the upper front control arm 5 and the upper rear control arm 4, and the dome formed by the top of the corner module mounting plate body 104 being horizontally bent and extended toward the wheel hub is provided with an air spring mounting seat 106 connected and installed with the electronic mechanical caliper EMB6.
[0065] Specifically, one end of the upper front control arm 5 and the upper rear control arm 4 is hinged to the corner module mounting plate body 104 through the upper front control arm mounting seat 101 and the upper rear control arm mounting seat 105. The upper front control arm mounting seat 101 and the upper rear control arm mounting seat 105 are both fixed to the corner module mounting plate body 104 through bolts.

[0067] The steering knuckle 10 rotates around the axis formed by the axis of the output shaft and the center of the ball joint of the lower control arm 2. The air spring mounting seat 106 is fixed to the air spring and electronic damper CDC assembly 3 by bolts. One end of the air spring and electronic damper CDC assembly 3 is hinged to the lower control arm 2, and the other end is connected to the air spring mounting seat 106.
[0068] In the above structure, the utility model directly installs the steering module 8 on the steering knuckle 10, and also introduces a steering motor fixing seat 7, so that the upper and lower parts of the steering knuckle 10 are directly hinged to the corner module mounting plate 1 in a specific structure, so that the steering knuckle 10 is cleverly connected through the upper front control arm 5, the upper rear control arm 4, the lower control arm 2 and the corner module mounting plate 1 to form a new suspension structure. Compared with traditional McPherson suspension and other structures, the number of rods between the steering knuckle and the mounting plate is reduced, and it has better advantages such as a larger steering angle and a higher degree of freedom.
[0069] Moreover, the internal structure of the present invention adopts electronic wire control, which does not require hydraulic and mechanical power input and transmission connection. The steering module 8 directly drives the steering knuckle 10 to rotate in a coaxial manner and then drives the entire wheel hub and tire structure to rotate, realizing free and independent control and movement of the chassis wheels, with higher integration.
[0070] Under the structural design of this utility model, the four wheels of the vehicle chassis are equipped with a suspension system, which can work in the following different modes:
[0071] Front wheel steering mode: Figure 9 As shown, only the front wheel suspension system controls the wheels to rotate in the steering direction, while the rear wheel suspension system controls the wheels to maintain the original vehicle direction. If, when turning right, the left and right wheel angles meet a certain angle relationship, and the right wheel angle is greater than the left wheel angle, front-wheel steering is achieved.
[0072] Front and rear wheel deflection in-situ steering mode: wheel angle status is as follows Figure 10 As shown, the wheels are controlled by the suspension system of the four wheels to rotate around a tangent in a circular direction. Generally, the wheel turning angle is 68°, so that the chassis can turn in place.
[0073] In-situ steering differential mode: The suspension system of the four wheels controls the wheels to keep the original vehicle direction from rotating, that is, to keep the four wheels at a zero steering angle, and to achieve in-situ steering of the chassis through the speed difference of the four wheels, such as Figure 11 As shown;
[0074] Oblique steering mode: The suspension system of the four wheels controls the rotation of the wheels in the steering direction. The steering angles of the four wheels are different. Figure 12 As shown, the chassis can be turned obliquely;
[0075] Lateral mode: The suspension system of the four wheels controls the rotation of the wheels to be perpendicular to the original vehicle direction. The wheel angle is as follows: Figure 13 As shown, the chassis can be moved laterally;
[0076] Pivot steering mode: The front wheel suspension system controls the wheels to rotate perpendicular to the original vehicle direction, and the rear wheel suspension system controls the wheels to maintain the original vehicle direction, that is, keep the front wheel angle at 0 degrees and the rear wheel angle at 90 degrees. Figure 14 As shown, when turning left, the left front wheel reverses, the right front wheel rotates forward, the left rear wheel reverses, and the right rear wheel rotates forward, achieving pivot steering.
[0077] As can be seen from the above, the utility model has a strong expansion capability through modular design. By reasonably adjusting the wheelbase and track between the front and rear wheels, it can quickly expand the chassis requirements to adapt to different scenarios.
[0078] Furthermore, this new system uses software to adjust spring stiffness and brake force distribution for different load conditions to meet varying load requirements. This software, located within the vehicle domain controller, matches the CDC air spring stiffness to each vehicle type based on vehicle parameters such as weight, wheelbase, and track width. This is similar to how current vehicles have Comfort, Normal, and Sport modes.
[0079] The above specific implementation methods are used to illustrate the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Any modifications and changes made to the present invention within the spirit of the present invention and the protection scope of the claims shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0080] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Therefore, any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the structure, features and principles described in the scope of the present invention patent application are included in the scope of the present invention patent application.
