Vehicle front suspension
A transverse link has an inboard side and an outboard side. A steering knuckle has an upper end, a wheel supporting section and a lower end. The lower end is pivotally coupled to the outboard side of the transverse link. A strut has an upper end and a lower end. An upper knuckle breakaway structure attaches the upper end of the steering knuckle to the lower end of the strut. The upper knuckle breakaway structure has a frangible part that releases the upper end of the steering knuckle from the lower end of the strut upon application of a prescribed rearward directed force. A transverse link breakaway structure couples the inboard side of the transverse link to a lower suspension support structure such that upon application of the prescribed rearward directed force the inboard side of the transverse link is released from the lower suspension support structure.
TOE CORRECTION BUSHING AND REAR SUSPENSION DEVICE
A toe correction bushing including: an inner cylinder; a tubular damping mechanism which surrounds the inner cylinder; a retaining cylinder which surrounds the damping mechanism; an outer cylinder which surrounds the retaining cylinder; and an outer elastic body which connects the outer cylinder and the retaining cylinder. The retaining cylinder includes a bottom plate portion which extends inward in a radial direction from an end portion of the retaining cylinder on one side of an axial direction and a crimped portion which is located at an end portion on the other side of the axial direction and is crimped on the inside of the radial direction. The outer cylinder includes a facing surface which faces the one side of the axial direction and faces a part of a vehicle body. The facing surface is provided with a cushioning elastic body.
Turning device
A turning device includes: a motor configured to generate a drive force for independently steering a steered wheel; a speed reducer connected to a rotary shaft body of the motor; and a brake configured to suppress transfer of torque between the motor and the speed reducer.
Suspension coil spring and strut type suspension
A suspension coil spring that is to be installed between an upper side pedestal and a lower side pedestal of a strut type suspension for a vehicle includes a coil spring main body such that, in an installation state, an upper coil end is disposed on the upper side pedestal and a lower coil end is disposed on the lower side pedestal, the upper side pedestal and the upper coil end contact at two upper contact points, and the lower side pedestal and the lower coil end contact at one lower contact point. The two upper contact points are separated in a front-to-rear direction of the vehicle. The one lower contact point is disposed at a position that is in a direction toward outside the vehicle from a plane that passes through the two upper contact points and that is parallel to a coil central axis.
AGRICULTURAL VEHICLE
Agricultural vehicle (V) includes an operator's seat (S), a vehicular structure (C), a wheel support arrangement (100), a front bumper assembly (200), a position and draft control mechanism (30), a brake pedal linkage mechanism (500), a steering mechanism (600) and an exhaust device (700). The operator's seat S is configured to be provided in the vehicle (V) at at least one of a first seating position (Sf) corresponding to a first driving position, and a second seating position (Sr) corresponding to a second driving position, where the second seating position (Sr) is opposite to the first seating position (Sf). The vehicular structure (C) is configured to be moved between at least one lowered position in which each final drive housing (FH) is locked to vehicular structure (C) at corresponding first locking positions, and at least one raised position in which each final drive housing (FH) is locked to vehicular structure (C) at corresponding second locking positions.
ELECTRIC VEHICLE, AUTOMATIC DRIVING METHOD AND DEVICE, AUTOMATIC FREIGHTING METHOD AND SYSTEM
An electric vehicle, an automatic driving method and equipment, and an automatic freight transportation method and system, the electric vehicle (1) comprising a plurality of sets of wheel assemblies (2) disposed at the lower surface of a chassis (10), wherein the plurality of sets of wheel assemblies (2) are independent of each other; each wheel assembly (2) comprises a wheel (21), a driving device (22) and a displacement device (23); the driving devices (22) drives the wheels (21) to rotate, and the displacement devices (23) at least drives the wheels (21) to move along the vehicle body width direction (X) of the electric vehicle (1). Each set of wheel assemblies (2) of the electric vehicle (1) has an independent power system, and the wheels (21) of each of the wheel assemblies (2) are independently controlled by means of the driving devices (22) and the displacement devices (23), so that when used to carry people, the electric vehicle (1) may meet the driving requirements of being highly flexible, stable, safe and comfortable; and when used for loading goods, the electric vehicle (1) may meet the cargo transportation requirements of being fully automated, highly efficient, highly accurate, low cost and highly safe.
WHEEL STEERING DEVICE
A wheel steering device for a vehicle, including: a steering knuckle that constitutes a part of a suspension device and that is capable of moving relative to a body of the vehicle in an up-down direction, the steering knuckle holding a wheel such that the wheel is rotatable; and a steering actuator configured to cause the steering knuckle to be pivoted about a kingpin axis so steer the wheel, wherein a caster angle and a caster offset are both 0.
Golf cart front suspension lift kit
A front suspension lift kit for a golf cart includes first and second beams mountable to a frame of the golf cart. A first strut is mountable to the frame of the golf cart and a distal end portion of the first beam such that the first strut extends between the frame of the golf cart and the first beam. A second strut is mountable to the frame of the golf cart and a distal portion of the second beam such that the second strut extends between the frame of the golf cart and the second beam. A support bracket is mountable to the first and second beams at the distal end portions of the first and second beams. The lift kit also includes a swing arm, a spindle bracket, and a coil-over shock.
SUSPENSION JOINING STRUCTURE
A suspension joining structure may include a lower arm which has one end portion fastened to a vehicle body, an assist knuckle on which a strut portion is located, a fastening unit which is configured so that a second end portion of the lower arm and a lower end portion of the assist knuckle are fastened, a revoknuckle which is pivotally fastened to the assist knuckle to be rotated independently of the assist knuckle to perform the steering of a wheel, and a steering input portion fastened to the revoknuckle and configured to apply a steering force to the revoknuckle upon the steering of the wheel.
SUSPENSION JOINING STRUCTURE
A suspension joining structure includes: a lower arm having one end fastened to a vehicle body; an assist knuckle having a strut thereon; a fastening unit configured to connect one end of the lower arm and a lower end of the assist knuckle to each other; a suspension fastened to the assist knuckle and rotating independently of the assist knuckle for steering of a wheel; a steering input part connected to the assiste knuckle, and configured such that a steering force is applied to the suspension upon steering; and a rotation transfer unit arranged between the suspension and the steering input part.
