Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, specifically to an adjustable length automobile suspension swing arm. Background Technology

[0002] Existing automotive control arm designs are typically of fixed length, making it impossible to adjust the front wheel camber angle to suit specific needs. For example, with a MacPherson strut front suspension, the camber angle needs to be increased when carrying heavy loads to counteract the reduction in front suspension camber angle caused by the load; when the vehicle is traveling at high speeds, the camber angle needs to be reduced to achieve more stable handling. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an adjustable-length swing arm. Because the swing arm length is adjustable, vehicle owners can adjust the front wheel camber angle according to road conditions, load weight, or personal driving habits, resulting in greater vehicle stability and comfort under different conditions. The specific solution is as follows:

[0004] An adjustable-length automotive suspension control arm includes a first ball joint, a first control arm body, a rigid double-ended screw, a second control arm body, and a second ball joint; the first ball joint is fixed to the first control arm body, and the first control arm body is fixed to one end of the rigid double-ended screw; the second ball joint is fixed to the second control arm body, and the second control arm body is fixed to the other end of the rigid double-ended screw; the length of the rigid double-ended screw is adjusted by rotating the first control arm body and the second control arm body.

[0005] Furthermore, the first ball joint is connected to the vehicle body, and the second ball joint is connected to the steering mechanism.

[0006] This invention effectively solves the problems of loosening or insufficient adjustment precision that may occur during the adjustment process in traditional designs by connecting a rigid double-ended screw in the middle of the control arm for adjusting the control arm length. Users can adjust the control arm length more quickly and accurately. Furthermore, this invention is applicable to various vehicle types and can meet the suspension parameter requirements of different vehicles through appropriate adjustments.

[0010] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0011] An adjustable-length automotive suspension control arm includes a first ball joint 1, a first control arm body 2, a rigid double-ended screw 3, a second control arm body 4, and a second ball joint 5. The first ball joint is fixed to the first control arm body, and the first control arm body is fixed to one end of the rigid double-ended screw. The second ball joint is fixed to the second control arm body, and the second control arm body is fixed to the other end of the rigid double-ended screw. The length of the rigid double-ended screw is adjusted by rotating the first and second control arm bodies. The first ball joint is connected to the vehicle body, and the second ball joint is connected to the steering mechanism.

[0012] This invention effectively solves the problems of loosening or insufficient adjustment precision that may occur during the adjustment process in traditional designs by connecting a rigid double-ended screw in the middle of the control arm for adjusting the control arm length. Users can adjust the control arm length more quickly and accurately. Furthermore, this invention is applicable to various vehicle types and can meet the suspension parameter requirements of different vehicles through appropriate adjustments.

[0013] The preferred embodiments of this patent have been described in detail above. However, this patent is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this patent.
