Off-highway vehicle including frame coupled gas spring wheel assemblies
11554606 · 2023-01-17 · ·

An off-highway vehicle may include an off-highway vehicle frame and a motor carried by the off-highway vehicle frame. The off-highway vehicle may also include wheel assemblies rotatably coupled to the off-highway vehicle frame without an intervening vehicle suspension and at least some of the wheel assemblies being driven by the motor. Each of the wheel assemblies may include an inner rim coupled to the hub, an outer rim surrounding the inner rim, and gas springs coupled between the inner rim and the outer rim to provide a gas suspension for relative movement between the inner and outer rims.

System and Method for Adjusting Wheel Alignment of Vehicle
20220410382 · 2022-12-29 ·

The present disclosure relates to a system for adjusting wheel alignment of a vehicle, the system including a base configured to be moved by a robot. The system further includes an adjustment arm movably disposed on the base and configured to be moved by an actuator. The system further includes a fixing unit provided at an upper end of the adjustment arm and configured to fix a bolt head or a nut. The system further includes a control unit configured to control the robot to allow the base to enter a toe adjustment part or a camber adjustment part for a vehicle suspension, the control unit being configured to control the actuator to allow the fixing unit of the adjustment arm to manipulate a bolt and a nut of the toe adjustment part or the camber adjustment part to adjust the wheel alignment of the vehicle.

ASSEMBLY METHOD AND ASSEMBLY DEVICE FOR SUSPENSION DEVICE OF VEHICLE AND MIXED MODEL PRODUCTION LINE

A coil spring is interposed between a vehicle body and a suspension member which is elastically and swingably supported by the vehicle body and supports a wheel. The suspension member and a vehicle part attached to the vehicle body are connected by a fastening member. The orientation of the suspension member with respect to the vehicle body is forcibly changed so as to increase the distance between the vehicle body and the suspension member at a coil spring interposition portion. An excessive change in the orientation of the suspension member is restricted by the fastening member, and a coil spring is inserted between the vehicle body and the suspension member.

VEHICLE CORNER MODULES AND SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INSTALLATION THEREOF

Vehicle corner modules (VCMs) connectable to a VCM-connection interface of a reference-frame of a vehicle platform, for regulating motion of a vehicle. When a wheel is mounted on a wheel-hub assembly of the VCM, a vehicle-connection interface of the VCM is disposed within a cylindrical footprint of the wheel. At least one of the at least one subsystem of the VCM is accommodated between the wheel-hub assembly and the vehicle-connection interface. Vehicle platforms are connectable to the VCMs. The connection of the vehicle platform to the VCM may include connection of subsystems of the VCM to electronic or flow subsystems mounted on the vehicle platform by connection of two portions of a multi-interface connection-element.
