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.
Suspension structure of vehicle for skateboard platform
An embodiment suspension structure includes a rail housing configured to be installed in a vehicle body along a height direction of the vehicle body, a rail attached to the rail housing toward an outer side of the vehicle body, a plurality of variable position links configured to be moved in the height direction of the vehicle body by engaging with the rail, a link transfer screw threaded to the plurality of variable position links and disposed in parallel with the rail to allow the plurality of variable position links to move by rotation, and a screw motor fixed to an upper inner side of the rail housing and coupled to one end of the link transfer screw, the screw motor being configured to provide a driving force to rotate the link transfer screw.
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.
METHOD OF SUPPLYING A HYDRAULIC MOTOR FOR A DRIVE WHEEL WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID, ASSOCIATED CYLINDER-TYPE SUSPENSION SYSTEM AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED THEREWITH
The invention proposes a method of supplying with hydraulic fluid a hydraulic motor (2) of a drive wheel supporting a vehicle by means of a cylinder-type suspension system (1). The hydraulic fluid passes through a feed duct (25) extending longitudinally through a cylinder (3) of the cylinder-type suspension system (1). The invention also relates to the use thereof in order to eliminate the need for hoses.
TOE LINK SUPPORT AND METHOD OF SUPPORTING A TOE LINK
A toe link support is disclosed. In a first aspect, the toe link aperture of a hub has been bored out to receive inner and outer spacers. The spacers have bolt holes through which a toe link bolt is inserted to secure a toe link to the hub. The bolt is secured by a nut. The spacers protect the hub from damage by the bolt, and vice versa, resulting from motion of the toe link. In a second aspect, the outer spacer is further configured to be inserted into the bolt hole of the toe link, further protecting the bolt from damage. A method of supporting a toe link is also disclosed.
ELECTROMECHANICAL DEVICES FOR CONTROLLING VEHICLE SUSPENSION SETTINGS
Electromechanical apparatuses for controlling vehicle suspension settings. Described herein are electromechanical apparatuses for controlling wheel alignment (e.g., camber, castor and/or toe). In particular, described herein are camber adjusting apparatuses for electromechanically adjusting camber or camber and toe that may be retrofitted onto existing vehicle suspensions.
Two-wheeled vehicle
A two-wheeled vehicle includes a frame having a front frame portion, a mid-frame portion, and a rear frame portion. The mid-frame portion is coupled to the rear frame portion and the front frame portion. The vehicle further includes a plurality of ground-engaging members for supporting the frame. The front frame portion is removably coupled to the mid-frame portion with a plurality of frame members extending between the front frame portion and the mid-frame portion.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR CONTROLLING A VEHICLE INCLUDING FRICTION CONTROL DEVICE
Systems and methods for controlling a vehicle including a friction control device are provided. A method of controlling the vehicle includes operating at least one friction control device in a first of a plurality of friction modes, detecting a vehicular speed, changing operation of the at least one friction control device from the first friction mode to a second of the plurality of friction modes in response to the vehicular speed exceeding a first threshold speed value, and changing operation of the at least one friction control device from the second friction mode to the first friction mode in response to the vehicular speed falling below a second threshold speed value that is less than the first threshold speed value. The second friction mode is associated with a higher level of resistance than the first friction mode.
Riding mower trailing arm suspension system
Provided is a trailing arm riding mower suspension system that includes trailing arms adapted to support hydraulic motor units and having leading ends pivotally coupled to a mower frame by way of leading end spherical joints and trailing ends having hydraulic drive unit mounts, where the trailing arms are adapted to pivot about leading end pivot locations defined by the leading end spherical joints.
DEVICE FOR ADJUSTING A CAMBER AND/OR TOE OF A VEHICLE WHEEL
A device for adjusting camber and/or toe of a vehicle wheel includes a multi-part wheel carrier having a wheel-side carrier part, an axle-side guide part, and an adjusting member, in particular two rotary parts, arranged there between, by which the carrier part is swingable about a wobble point for toe and/or camber adjustment of the vehicle wheel. A bearing point is formed radially outside of the adjusting member, on which the carrier part and the guide part are articulated to one another. The bearing point is designed in a firm manner in the wheel-axle circumferential direction for support of the carrier part which is subjected to a brake torque, and is designed in a soft manner to realize a trouble-free adjustment and, compared with the wheel-axle circumferential direction, a particularly smooth adjustment of the carrier part about the toe and/or camber angle in the vehicle transverse direction.
