Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bahas car, concretely relates to a bahas car suspension frame. BACKGROUND

[0002] China automobile engineering society bahas competition (BajaSAEChina, namely BSC) is a competition of off-road vehicle design, manufacture and detection participated by students of automobile and related majors in colleges and universities and vocational colleges. The racing car used in the competition is also called "bahas car". Bahas car suspension frame refers to a part of structure constituting a suspension system, which is mainly responsible for connecting wheels and vehicle body and absorbing impact caused by uneven road through shock absorbers and springs and the like to ensure stability and maneuverability of the vehicle. The suspension frame is the basic framework of the whole suspension system and is crucial to bear various dynamic loads.

[0003] Four-wheel alignment of the bahas car refers to adjusting angles and positions of four wheels of the vehicle relative to the vehicle body and each other to ensure optimal driving performance, maneuverability and tire life, but the suspension arm connecting point of the present bahas car suspension frame can only adjust the inclination angle of the tire to the ground and cannot change the inclination angle of the steering axis to the vertical line, so it is impossible to adjust other parameters (kingpin inclination, steering trapezium, etc.) according to the driving habit of the driver. Kingpin inclination refers to the inclination angle of the steering axis to the vertical line forward or backward in the front view. Adjusting the kingpin inclination on the bahas car can significantly improve the driving experience. Increasing the positive kingpin inclination (i.e. the steering axis is inclined forward) can enhance the stability of the vehicle when driving in a straight line, because such a setting will produce a self-centering effect to help the wheels automatically straighten. Although a larger positive kingpin inclination helps the stability of straight driving, too large an angle will make the steering heavy. Therefore, finding a balance point is crucial to ensure fast and accurate steering response. Optimizing the kingpin inclination setting can make the tires more evenly contact the ground during the whole steering process, thereby reducing the risk of uneven wear. SUMMARY

[0004] The utility model intends to provide a bahas car suspension frame to increase the number of adjustable parameters of the bahas car suspension frame.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides the following technical scheme: a bahas car suspension frame, comprising a front upright, an "A"-shaped upper A arm and an "A"-shaped lower A arm.

[0007] The top end of the upper A arm is connected with the ball head end of the fish-eye bearing two, the two bottom ends of the upper A arm are provided with coaxial threaded holes two, fish-eye bearings three are arranged in the threaded holes two, the rod ends of the fish-eye bearings three are threadedly connected in the threaded holes two, and fastening nuts are also threadedly connected on the rod ends of the fish-eye bearings three;

[0008] The top end of the lower A arm is provided with a threaded hole three, and the rod end of the fish-eye bearing one is threadedly connected in the threaded hole three.

[0009] Further, the front upright column further comprises a knuckle arm, the base is provided with two mounting holes which are located on the same plane, the knuckle arm is fixed on the base through the cooperation of the two mounting holes by bolts, and a steering drag link is mounted on the knuckle arm and used for transmitting the steering force of a steering machine to the knuckle arm.

[0010] Further, an adjusting gasket is arranged between the knuckle arm and the base, and the thickness of the adjusting gasket is 0-2 cm.

[0011] Further, the base is fixedly connected with an axle center for mounting a wheel on the side opposite to the mounting groove, and the lower A arm and the axle center are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0012] Further, the lower A arm is fixedly connected with a mounting piece, the mounting piece comprises a bottom plate fixed on two arm rods of the lower A arm, the upper surface of the bottom plate is fixedly connected with two vertical matching plates, the matching plates are provided with connecting holes, and a shock absorber is fixedly mounted on the mounting piece through the connecting holes.

[0013] The front upright column has the following beneficial effects:

[0014] 1.

[0015] 2. By adjusting the length of the rod end of the fish eye bearing three on the two bottom ends of the upper A-arm, the caster angle of the front column kingpin can be adjusted.

[0016] 3. By using adjusting shims of different thicknesses, the position of the knuckle arm can be raised, thus changing the angle of the Ackerman trapezium (the Ackerman trapezium design ensures that the inside and outside wheels have different steering angles when turning, thus reducing tire slip and wear and improving handling).

[0017] 4. The lower A-arm is arranged in a plane at the same height as the axis of the installed wheel, thus raising the spatial position of the lower A-arm, increasing the ground clearance of the lower A-arm, and enabling the buggy to pass over larger obstacles and have better passability.

The side of the base 203 opposite to the mounting groove 202 is fixedly connected with an axle center 1 for mounting a wheel, and the lower A arm 9 is located on the same horizontal plane with the axle center 1.

[0027] The top end of the upper A arm 4 is connected with the ball head end of the fish-eye bearing two 3, and the two bottom ends of the upper A arm 4 are provided with coaxial threaded holes two, the fish-eye bearing three 6 is arranged in the threaded hole two, the rod end of the fish-eye bearing three 6 is threadedly connected in the threaded hole two, and the rod end of the fish-eye bearing three 6 is also threadedly connected with a fastening nut;
