Three-wheel motor vehicle and control system
12162560 · 2024-12-10 ·

A three-wheeled vehicle having a front wheel assembly attached to a chassis. The chassis includes a rotational control shaft having a rotational axis that is generally directed in a longitudinal direction of the vehicle. The rotational control shaft is integrated with or secured to the chassis in a non-rotational manner and passes through the front wheel assembly in a rotationally-free manner, such that the rotational control shaft can rotate about its rotational axis. The front wheel assembly includes one or more lean control motors, which are operably configured to rotate the rotational control shaft about its rotational axis thereby causing the chassis to lean from side to side to improve the handling ability of the vehicle. Some embodiments include a lean control system configured to automatically control the degree of rotation of the chassis.

Provided is a vehicle which, when a pair of left and right wheels are displaced with respect to the vehicle body due to the difference in drive force between the wheels, the two wheels are reliably displaced vertically in opposite directions such that neither wheel is disproportionately displaced and such that both wheels are steered during said displacement of both wheels vertically in opposite directions. The pair of left and right front wheels (3) are rotatably supported by a front wheel support member (29). An electric motor (25) applies drive torque to the front wheels (3) individually. A vehicle body frame (7) supports the front wheel support member (29) to allow rotation about a forwardly inclined steering axis (Lf). By allowing rotation of the front wheel support member (29) about the steering axis (Lf), the front wheels (3) are displaced relatively to one another vertically in opposite directions with respect to the vehicle body frame (7) and the front wheels (3) are steered. The front wheel support members (29) rotate due to the difference in torque applied to the front wheels (3) by the electric motor (25).

VEHICLE WITH THREE OR MORE WHEELS PROVIDED WITH AN ANTI-ROLL STABILISER DEVICE AND ANTI-ROLL CONTROL METHOD OF A VEHICLE HAVING AT LEAST THREE WHEELS
20170210190 · 2017-07-27 ·

A vehicle with 3 or more wheels includes at least two wheels aligned on the same axis. The vehicle has an intermediate centreline plane between the wheels parallel to a direction of movement, including a mass suspended in relation to the wheels defining a passenger or containment compartment, and two suspension groups kinematically connecting the suspended mass to the two aligned wheels. An anti-roll stabiliser device has at least one compensation mass kinematically connected to the suspended mass via a guide and movable in relation thereto. The anti-roll stabiliser device has a drive of the compensation mass to distance or bring the compensation mass closer to the centreline plane on the side opposite the displacement of a barycentre of the suspended mass with respect to the same centreline plane, to oppose the displacement with respect to the centreline plane of the position of the barycentre of the suspended mass.

Inclination-enabling wheel suspension for vehicles

A wheel suspension for a vehicle with a supporting vehicle element includes at least one pair of single-sided swing arms. Each single-sided swing arm is associated with a hydraulic cylinder, which is linked to the single-sided swing arm and/or the supporting vehicle element. Each hydraulic cylinder is subdivided in a fluid-tight manner into two chambers.

Tiltable motorcycles with two front steering wheels

Motorcycles are provided which include a frame, two front steering wheels, a steering pipe rotatably connected to the frame and rigidly connected to two supporting assemblies, one for each front steering wheel and a steering group consisting of two pairs of transversal armsupper front, lower front, upper rear and lower reararranged inverted at the opposite sides of a central steering pipe and laterally connected through two lateral posts. On each of the supporting assemblies the fixed portions of two telescopic elements may be constrained. Each pair of telescopic elements may be cantilever-mounted with respect to the steering wheel.

ELECTRONIC BRAKING DEVICE OF THE TILTING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE WITH THREE OR MORE TILTING WHEELS
20170174032 · 2017-06-22 · ·

The present invention field relates to a braking device of the tilting system of vehicles that have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence a so-called wheel tilting system. The device is characterized in that it comprises an electronic control unit adapted to receive and process a plurality of signals coming from devices capable of detecting parameters related to the instantaneous dynamic behavior of the vehicle and to selectively actuate said braking means.

CONTROL SYSTEM OF THE TRIM OF VEHICLES WITH MORE THAN TWO WHEELS
20170144720 · 2017-05-25 ·

The present invention relates to an improved control system of the trim of motorcycles with more than two wheels. More in particular, it relates to motorcycles which have at least three wheels and can lean sideways by virtue of the presence of a so-called wheel tilting system. The present invention improves the HTS hydro-pneumatic system developed by the same Applicant, which is the object of Patent EP 2 046 589, so as to improve the vehicle trim, above all while cornering with the leaned vehicle.

FOUR-WHEEL VEHICLE
