Fig. 2 is the whole birds-eye view of expression back suspension device 1 with respect to the installing condition of vehicle body.Fig. 3 is the unitary side view of expression back suspension device 1 with respect to the installing condition of vehicle body.Structural element shown in dotted lines in Figure 2 is a car body component.
Shown in above-mentioned each figure, back suspension device 1 is installed on the pair of right and left floor side member 11,11 that body bottom section extends along the vehicle fore-and-aft direction.
As shown in Figure 2, floor side member 11,11 from overlooking direction, is along with extending to vehicle front to being obliquely installed that the outside of overall width direction is expanded.This is for floor side member 11,11 front ends are connected in down longeron (not shown) rear end, thus by floor side member 11,11 being connected in down the anti-impact property that knocks into the back that longeron can improve floor side member 11,11.Because this floor side member 11,11 is inclined to set, lateral wall 11a, the 11a of floor side member 11,11 is along with extending to vehicle front and tilting to the overall width direction outside gradually.
In addition, as shown in Figure 3, floor side member 11 from the side-looking direction, is the part that is positioned at vehicle front one side and is in leaning forward and being obliquely installed of below, and the Support Position that is positioned at the coil spring 5 of rear view of vehicle one side thus can be positioned at the top.Therefore, can on above-below direction, guarantee the space that is provided with of coil spring 5, to guarantee the crank motion length of coil spring 5 fully.
In addition, this floor side member 11 is provided with the upper springs seat 12 that is used to support above-mentioned coil spring 5.
Upper springs seat 12 comprises, the facial 12a of support that is connected in the lower face 11b of floor side member 11 and partly extends to the overall width direction outside; Extend and be connected in two 12b of foot, the 12b of the lateral wall 11a of floor side member 11 upward from the biasing part that supports facial 12a.
As shown in Figure 2, support facial 12a, by laterally long and roughly be hexagonal flat board and constitute, the offset part that is positioned at the outside is divided through chamfered (chamfer).This central part that supports facial 12a is provided with circular opening shaft hub (boss) 12c (detailed structure is with reference to figure 5).
In addition, as shown in Figure 3, the 12b of foot, 12b comprise the longitudinal wall part 12d, the 12d that erect from the both sides of supporting facial 12a; Be connected in the 12e of flange connector portion, the 12e of the lateral wall 11a of floor side member 11.
And, on the facial 12a of the support of upper spring seat 12, the biasing part 12a1 (the hachure zone among Fig. 2) that extends laterally is set, as shown in Figure 2, this is the relation that is provided with for according to vehicle part, makes the coil spring 5,5 of back suspension device 1 be arranged on the overall width direction outside with respect to floor side member 11,11.
All loads that are applied to coil spring 5 are passed to floor side member 11 via upper springs seat 12.
But because this upper springs seat 12 is provided with biasing part 12a1, so (see and the floor side member superposed part from overlooking direction: the lining cap), both there are differences with respect to the rigidity of support of coil spring 5 the biasing part 12a1 of upper springs seat 12 (seeing and floor side member 11 superposed part not from overlooking direction) with not offset part 12a2.
That is, the not offset part 12a2 that overlaps with floor side member 11 is subjected to the effect of the higher floor side member of rigidity 11, so rigidity of support is higher, in contrast, the biasing part 12a1 that does not overlap with floor side member 11, owing to only be supported in floor side member 11, so rigidity of support is relatively low by the 12b of foot, 12b.
Therefore, as under the situation of the position of the biasing part 12a1 that does not consider upper springs seat 12 and not offset part 12a2 and coil spring 5 relation, coil spring 5 being installed, can be because the load that coil spring 5 is produced makes upper springs seat 12 produce distortion easily, perhaps do not deform, make the characteristic of left and right sides coil spring 5,5 difference occur thus, thereby make the suspension performance between the left and right wheels become unstable.
For addressing this problem, can consider to increase the thickness of upper springs seat 12, with raising upper springs seat 12 self rigidity, but adopt this structure, then be difficult to realize the lightweight of vehicle body, and can cause the deterioration of specific consumption of fuel.
To this, in the present embodiment, left and right sides coil spring 5,5 roughly is with respect to the abutment portion of upper springs seat 12,12 and is symmetrical arranged, and makes the rigidity of support of right and left upper spring perch 12,12 be tending towards impartial thus.
Below, by Fig. 4~Fig. 6, its concrete structure is described.Fig. 4 is the block diagram of mounting portion on coil spring 5 tops of the back suspension device 1 in expression left side.Fig. 5 is the upward view from the mounting portion on coil spring 5 tops in observation left side, below.Fig. 6 is the upward view of the mounting portion on expression coil spring 5,5 tops, the left and right sides, medelling ground.
Coil spring 5 tops are installed on upper springs seat 12 by above-mentioned spring perch rubber 10.This spring perch rubber 10 limits the abutment portion of coil spring 5 tops with respect to upper springs seat 12.
As shown in Figure 5, above-mentioned spring perch rubber 10 comprises the main part 10a of ring-type; The annular flange portion 10b that extends downwards at the central part of main part 10a; Two 10c of hooking sheet portion, 10c and 1 10d of banking stop portion of extending laterally from annular flange portion 10b.In addition, as shown in Figure 4, be provided with the 10e of locating dowel pin portion of projection upward at the upper surface of main part 10a.
By spring end 5a and the 10d of the banking stop portion butt that makes coil spring 5, the 5A of top installing and locating portion (point-like shaded area) of the rising portions 5b that erects from this spring end 5a to coiling is forwards ended with two 10c of hooking sheet portion, 10c card, coil spring 5 can be installed on the spring perch rubber 10.In addition, this spring perch rubber 10, by being installed on the upper springs seat 12 among the knock hole 12f (with reference to figure 4) that it is limited the pin 10e of portion insertion upper springs seat 12, can limit the top 5A of installing and locating portion of coil spring 5 and the abutment portion of upper springs seat 12 thus.Therefore that is, utilize spring perch rubber 10 that coil spring 5 is installed, spring end 5a can be limited to a fixed position all the time, the abutment portion of the 5A of top installing and locating portion of coil spring 5 can be limited to a fixed position all the time.
In the present embodiment, spring end 5a is arranged on the oblique outside (side of taking back) of rear view of vehicle, the scope of the abutment portion of 5A of top installing and locating portion and upper spring seat 12 thus, the radial line of vehicle fore-and-aft direction that can coil spring 5 is respectively to coil equably about benchmark about 0.4 circle (to add up to (about 288 °) about 0.8 circle), perhaps makes the front portion of upper springs seat 12 be positioned at the center of abutment portion.
By as above setting the abutment portion of the 5A of top installing and locating portion, and the upper springs seat 12 in left side, the lateral wall 11a that follows floor side member 11 is along with extending and (left side) inclination gradually laterally to vehicle front, the butt area of its not offset part 12a2 and coil spring S can improve the rigidity of support of coil spring 5 thus greater than the butt area of biasing part 12a1 and coil spring 5.
As shown in Figure 6, the abutment portion of the 5A of top installing and locating portion (shaded area) of left and right sides coil spring 5,5 roughly is and is symmetrical set.And, the scope of the abutment portion of the 5A of top installing and locating portion, the 5A of left and right sides coil spring 5,5, the radial line that is set to the vehicle fore-and-aft direction of coil spring 5,5 is a benchmark, about respectively coil about 0.4 circle equably, add up to about 0.8 circle.
As mentioned above because left and right sides coil spring 5,5 constitutes by the coil spring of dextrorotation, therefore, the position (left side) of the position of spring end 5a (right side) and rising portions 5b about each coil spring 5,5 identical.
Herein, lateral wall 11a, the 11a of floor side member, left and right symmetrically tilts laterally along with extending roughly to vehicle front, thus the biasing part 12a1 of upper spring seat 12 and not offset part 12a2 left-right symmetric roughly.
Therefore, be connected to the top installing and locating portion 5A left and right sides approximate equality biasing part 12a1 and the not offset part 12a2 of upper spring seat 12.
Thus, the rigidity of support left and right sides of upper spring seat 12,12 is roughly the same, and when the load that bears from coil spring 5,5, the left and right sides deforms roughly the samely.
So, adopt present embodiment, the difference of coil spring characteristic can be suppressed to produce between the left and right sides coil spring 5,5, thereby the suspension performance between the left and right wheels can be stablized.
Below, by Fig. 7, Fig. 8, the structure of the mounting portion of coil spring 5 bottoms is described.Fig. 7 is the birds-eye view from the mounting portion of coil spring 5 bottoms in observation left side, top.Fig. 8 is the birds-eye view of the mounting portion of expression coil spring 5 bottoms, the left and right sides, medelling ground.

The 5B of bottom installing and locating portion is different with the top installing and locating 5A of portion, does not clearly limit the position of spring end 5c, but in order to make spring end 5c be positioned at the rear view of vehicle outside (side of taking back) partially, the central portion 5e that limits the bottom 5B of installing and locating portion is positioned at vehicle front.
Thus, the part of the bottom installing and locating 5B of portion is easy to be stuck in the engaging shaft hub 9a front side of lower springs seat 9, thereby can prevent that at suspension trailing arm 2 coil spring 5 from rearward escaping when above-below direction shakes.
The abutment portion of bottom 5B of installing and locating portion and lower springs seat 9, be stuck on the engaging shaft hub 9a with considering left and right sides approximate equality, the 5A of portion is identical with the top installing and locating, the vehicle fore-and-aft direction radial line that is set at coil spring 5 is respectively to coil about 0.4 circle equably about benchmark, adds up to about 0.8 circle.
This abutment portion is limited according to the number of turn (for example 5 circles, 6 circles, 6.5 circles etc.) of coil spring 5 and the relation of above-mentioned spring perch rubber 10.
As shown in Figure 8, the abutment portion of the bottom installing and locating 5B of portion is a benchmark with the middle position of overall width direction, about symmetry roughly.In addition, as mentioned above, the scope of the abutment portion of each 5B of bottom installing and locating portion is respectively to coil 0.4 circle about benchmark equably with the vehicle fore-and-aft direction radial line of each coil spring 5, adds up to about 0.8 circle.
Thus, can prevent that any one coil spring 5,5 of the left and right sides from rearward escaping.In addition, be passed to lower springs seat 9,9 to the load left and right sides approximate equality of coil spring 5,5, therefore, it is impartial that the suspension performance between the left and right wheels also can keep.
Below, the action effect of the present embodiment that adopts said structure is elaborated.
Draft hitch mounting structure for screw spring for present embodiment, upper springs seat 12, comprise from overlooking the biasing part 12a1 that direction is seen the not offset part 12a2 that overlaps with floor side member 11 and do not overlapped, not offset part 12a2 that the 5A of top installing and locating portion of coil spring 5 crosses over this upper springs seat 12 and biasing part 12a1, and with both butts.The abutment portion of the 5A of top installing and locating portion of left and right sides coil spring 5,5, about roughly the symmetry.
Thus, the 5A of top installing and locating portion of left and right sides coil spring 5,5 is respectively with the not offset part 12a2 of roughly the same ratio and upper springs seat 12 and the part 12a1 butt of setovering.
Therefore, left and right sides upper springs seat 12, the 12 support helix springs 5,5 by having identical rigidity of support can make the characteristic of left and right sides coil spring 5,5 roughly the same.
So, by draft hitch 1, can suppress the difference of the rigidity of support of coil spring 5,5, improve the rideability of vehicle thus.
