Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric tricycle technology, specifically to an adjustable rear axle structure for electric vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] In the logistics and transportation sector, including electric tricycles and electric cargo trucks, the rear axle of the vehicle needs to cope with different load weights and transportation scenarios. However, traditional electric vehicle rear axles generally have a fixed structure. On the one hand, the existing rear axle length is fixed, making it impossible to adjust the wheelbase according to the load capacity, which makes it difficult to adapt to the transportation needs of different specifications of goods. On the other hand, the fixed structure of the rear axle makes it difficult to match multiple vehicle models. Enterprises need to develop and produce rear axles separately for different models, resulting in high R&D costs and poor product versatility. At the same time, the mounting angle of the support arm of the traditional rear axle is fixed, making it difficult to adjust according to actual road conditions and load distribution. When driving on complex road conditions or under heavy load, the vehicle is prone to uneven stress, which not only affects handling performance but also accelerates the wear of rear axle components and shortens their service life.
