SUSPENSION
A suspension includes a housing, links, a radius arm, and a radius arm bush. The radius arm bush is provided on a front end of the radius arm, couples the radius arm to a vehicle body, with an elastic body in between, and is disposed vehicle-widthwise inwardly of a wheel center contact point of the rear wheel. The radius arm bush has higher rigidity with respect to turn of the radius arm with respect to the vehicle body in a direction in which an underside of the radius arm is displaced vehicle-widthwise outwardly from an upside of the radius arm, than rigidity with respect to turn of the radius arm with respect to the vehicle body in a direction in which the underside of the radius arm is displaced vehicle-widthwise inwardly from the upside of the radius arm.
Suspension system
A suspension system configured to sit substantially within the profile of a vehicle platform such that none of the elements extend substantially above the plane of the vehicle platform. The suspension system may utilize an adaptable transverse leaf spring in combination with other suspension elements, to allow the vehicle platform to maintain a generally flat profile and accommodate a variety of different body like structures while maintaining the desired roll and ride stability stiffness.
Steering shock absorbing structure for in-wheel motor and method thereof
A steering shock absorbing structure for an in-wheel motor includes: a steering input unit configured to detect a steering angle of a steering wheel; a steering unit fastened to the steering input unit, and configured to steer a wheel according to the steering angle of the steering input unit; a tilting unit having a first end connected to the steering unit and a second end connected to the wheel, and configured to be tilted with respect to the steering unit; and a controller configured to selectively drive the tilting unit.
Chassis link for a motor vehicle
A chassis link for a motor vehicle having load introduction elements connected by a straight profile portion of fiber-reinforced plastic. The profile portion and load introduction elements are connected via an adhesive connection in a common connection portion in which an end portion of the load introduction element and an end portion engage another in positive engagement. On both sides of a profile portion neutral fiber plane, the adhesive connection has longitudinal adhesive layers extending in a longitudinal direction of the profile portion and parallel to one another in a vertical. In vertical direction of the profile portion the longitudinal adhesive layers have a cross-sectional area becoming larger with increasing distance from the neutral fiber plane so that a relief is brought about in regions of the adhesive connection which have a relatively large distance from the neutral fiber plane in vertical direction of the profile portion.
Multi-wheel transportation vehicles and related methods
A three wheeled vehicle is provided that can include a frame, a steerable front wheel secured to a front end of the frame, a first trailing wheel arm having a first rear wheel secured thereto and a second trailing wheel arm having a second rear wheel secured thereto, and a central suspension joint secured to the frame on which the first and second trailing wheel arm is rotatably secured on either side of the frame. Further, the vehicle can include a horizontal linkage pivotably connected on the frame at the midsection beneath the first and second trailing wheel arms and linked to an underside of the first and second trailing wheel arm between the first wheel and the central suspension joint proximal to a first end of the horizontal linkage and between the second wheel and the central suspension joint proximal to a second end of the horizontal linkage, respectively.
SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY FOR UTILITY VEHICLE
A suspension assembly for a utility vehicle includes a knuckle having a boss, a first suspension arm extending radially outward from the boss, a second suspension arm extending radially outward from the boss in a direction opposite to the first suspension arm, a first brake arm extending radially outward from the boss near the first suspension arm, and a second brake arm extending radially outward from the boss near the second suspension arm. The knuckle can be switchably used for both of a right driving wheel and a left driving wheel. The suspension assembly further includes an upper arm connected to the first suspension arm, a lower arm connected to the second suspension arm, and a brake caliper connected to the first brake arm and the second brake arm.
HEIGHT SENSOR AND VEHICLE COMPRISING SAME
A height sensor including a sensor body, a swing arm and a connecting rod. A first end of the swing arm is movably connected to the sensor body, and a second end of the swing arm is movably connected to the connecting rod. The swing arm is configured as a structure with an adjustable working length suitable for, and can be matched to, different chassis suspension structures, being highly versatile, with a low development cost and high development efficiency.
CAR BODY STRUCTURE AND DRIVING UNIT INCLUDING THE SAME
A car body structure includes a bottom plate, a side plate assembly, and a support rod assembly. The side plate assembly includes a first side plate and a second side plate opposite to the first side plate. The first side plate and the second plate are connected to the bottom plate and located on a same side of the bottom plate. An edge of the first side plate facing away from the bottom plate defines at least two first slots, and an edge of the second side plate facing away from the bottom plate defines at least two second slots. The support rod assembly includes at least two support rods, each support rod is snap-engaged with one first slot and one second slot. A surface of the support rod assembly facing away from the bottom plate is a bearing surface. A driving unit is also disclosed.
ROCKING ARM STRUCTURE PROVIDING ADDITIONAL WHEEL SUPPORT AND DEVICE HAVING THE SAME
A rocking arm structure includes an arm body, a first wheel assembly connected to the arm body, a second wheel assembly connected to the arm body, and a shaft assembly disposed between the first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly. The arm body can rotate relative to the main body around the shaft assembly, and drive the first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly to revolve in a same direction around the shaft assembly. The first wheel assembly and the second wheel assembly are both steering wheel assemblies or both directional wheel assemblies.
ADJUSTABLE STEERING STOP
An adjustable steering stop includes a chassis stop configured to be coupled to a chassis member of a vehicle and a knuckle stop configured to be coupled to a steering knuckle. The chassis stop and the knuckle stop together define a steering limit location where the knuckle stop contacts the chassis stop. The adjustable steering stop further includes an adjustment actuator coupled to one of the chassis stop or the knuckle stop to move the chassis stop or the knuckle stop thereby changing the steering limit location.
