The specific embodiment
Below, according to Fig. 1～Fig. 5 the 1st embodiment of the present invention is described.
As Fig. 1～shown in Figure 3, two V-arrangement arm type suspension device S possess steering swivel 13, and this steering swivel 13 is supported on the vehicle body by upper arm 11 and underarm 12.The underarm Support bracket 15 that steering swivel 13 is made by light alloy forging steering swivel main body of making 14 and the ferrous material that is connected in its underpart constitutes.Steering swivel main body 14 possesses: the 14a of axle support portion, and the axletree of support wheel W, and it can be rotated freely; And upper arm support portion 14b, it extends upward from the 14a of axle support portion, by ball-joint 16 with the overall width direction outer end pivotal support of upper arm 11 in the upper end of upper arm support portion 14b.
Can be clear from Fig. 4, a pair of connection part 14c, the 14d in front and back gives prominence to downwards from the front and back end, axle support portion 14a bottom of steering swivel main body 14, is formed with the upwards recess 14e of depression between two connection part 14c, the 14d.Underarm Support bracket 15 possesses: installation portion 15a, the 15b of front and back end; The underarm support portion 15c of centre; And connecting portion 15d, the 15e of the pair of angled of the 15a of connection portion, 15b and underarm support portion 15c, the 15a of installed in front portion is fixed in the conjunction plane of front side connection part 14c by bolt 17 and nut 18, and rear side installation portion 15b is fixed in the conjunction plane of rear side connection part 14d by bolt 19.The underarm support portion 15c of underarm Support bracket 15 is positioned at the position lower than installation portion 15a, 15b, the overall width direction outer end of underarm 12 is disposed at space 20, and this space 20 is formed between the underarm support portion 15c of the recess 14e of steering swivel main body 14 and underarm Support bracket 15.
The overall width direction outer end pivotal support of underarm 12 is possessed ball end 22 in the ball-joint 21 of underarm Support bracket 15, and this ball end 22 is by constituting with the lower part: by spherical top 22a; With the cone shape axial region 22b of top 22a bonded assembly; And with axial region 22b bonded assembly external thread part 22c.The axial region 22b of ball end 22 is penetrating mounting holes 15f from top to bottom, and fixes by nut 23 being screwed on the external thread part 22c outstanding downwards from underarm support portion 15c, and described mounting hole 15f is arranged at the underarm support portion 15c of underarm Support bracket 15.Also have, ball-joint 21 possesses the shell 12a of the cup-shaped that is arranged at underarm 12 ends.Be contained in the inner peripheral surface of shell 12a with the plastic bearing 25 of the top 22a moving contact of ball end 22, and kept by bearing holdere 26, this bearing holdere 26 is being fixed in the mode of the peristome of covering shell 12a.For making dust etc. not invade the top 22a of ball end 22 and the sliding surface of bearing 25, between the underarm support portion 15c of the peristome of shell 12a and underarm Support bracket 15, protective case 27 is installed.
As shown in Figure 4, the suspension geometry structure that is set as follows, that is, under normal conditions, when just the acceleration/accel of 1G acted on above-below direction, the straight line L of the conjunction plane of front and back connection part 14c, the 14d of connection steering swivel main body 14 was in to front lower place bevelled state.In addition, when wheel W struck the top, above-mentioned straight line L simultaneously rises simultaneously became level (with reference to straight line L ').
Work as Ackermann steer angle, because centnifugal force makes vehicle body tilt to the turn direction outside, the turning foreign steamer is pressed on the ground-surface load will play a role, and the foreign steamer of therefore turning can produce relativism ground bump to vehicle body.As shown in Figure 5, in the turning foreign steamer, the inside turning transverse force of overall width direction acts on the earth point of wheel W from the road surface, because turning transverse force, moment M will act on steering swivel 13, but the counter-force FL of the compressing stress of this moment M by acting on underarm 12 and the counter-force FU that acts on the drawing stress of upper arm 11 can cancel out each other.At this moment, along with the conjunction plane from front and back connection part 14c, the 14d of steering swivel main body 14 is more little to the distance A at the center of shaking (approximate centre of wheel W) of the steering swivel 13 that shakes based on moment M, just the distance till the conjunction plane from the road surface to the connection part 14c, the 14d that are measured is big more, the load of bolt 17,19 then becomes big more before and after acting on, and described front and back bolt 17,19 combines steering swivel main body 14 and underarm Support bracket 15.
Therefore, as example according to the illustrated known configurations of Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, when the conjunction plane height of front and back connection part 14c, 14d is unbalance, the load of bolt 17,19 also can be unbalance before and after acting on, so durability becomes inhomogeneous, thereby need take to change the countermeasures such as thickness of these bolts 17,19.
But, in the present embodiment, at Ackermann steer angle, when the wheel W in the turn direction outside produces relative bump for vehicle body, the straight line L that connects the conjunction plane of steering swivel main body 14 front and back connection part 14c, 14d will be close to horizontality from sagging forward state, and therefore the conjunction plane of front and back connection part 14c, 14d can reduce apart from the ground-surface diff-H.Therefore, owing to act on the inside turning transverse force of overall width direction of the earth point of the wheel W outside the turn direction from the road surface, when moment M acts on steering swivel 13, the load of bolt 17,19 is with uniformization before and after acting on, described front and back bolt 17,19 is with steering swivel main body 14 and 15 combinations of underarm Support bracket, and owing to the center of shaking near steering swivel 13, therefore do not need to take countermeasures such as bolt overstriking with being applied with than heavy load, and before and after can preventing to act on than heavy load bolt 17,19 one of them, thereby can improve durability.
In addition, can be clear and definite from Fig. 2, do not act on wheel W generally at load F towards the vehicle body rear, the straight line A of bolt 17,19 is in prenex state before and after connecting, and above-mentioned front and back bolt 17,19 is connected in steering swivel main body 14 with underarm Support bracket 15.That is to say that above-mentioned straight line A is that the vehicle body front side is towards the inboard inclination of overall width direction.Therefore, when wheel W crosses the concavo-convex or wheel W braking of ground-surface, load F towards the vehicle body rear produces and does the time spent, the stub connecting rod of draft hitch S is than the more close overall width direction of the earth point of wheel W inboard, therefore because above-mentioned load, wheel W and steering swivel 13 shake in the posterior cord direction, and the angle of toein of the straight line A of bolt 17,19 constantly reduces (with reference to straight line A ') towards zero before and after connecting.
So, even wheel W crosses the concavo-convex or wheel W braking of ground-surface, when load F backward acts on steering swivel 13, the straight line A of bolt 17,19 also can posterior cord before and after connecting, and therefore bolt 17,19 general alignment in front and back can be less with the torque control of connection part 14c, 14d before and after being put on by above-mentioned load F in the vehicle body front and back, so the load that acts on bolt 17,19 is reduced, improve durability, and can use the less bolt of diameter 17,19, thereby help expendable weight.
Below, according to Fig. 6 the 2nd embodiment of the present invention is described.
In the 1st embodiment, the ball end 22 of ball-joint 21 is fixed in underarm Support bracket 15, and in the 2nd embodiment, the shell 24 of ball-joint 21 is fixed in underarm Support bracket 15.That is, the shell 24 of ball-joint 21 is pressed into mounting hole 15f from top to bottom, and this mounting hole 15f is formed at the underarm support portion 15c of underarm Support bracket 15.The overall width direction outer end of underarm 12 is embedded in from the outstanding downwards ball end 22 of shell 24, and connects by nut 28.
In the 2nd embodiment, the suspension geometry structure that also is set as follows, acceleration/accel at 1G acts on vehicle generally, the straight line L of the conjunction plane of front and back connection part 14c, the 14d of connection steering swivel main body 14 tilts to the front lower place, but when wheel W struck the top, then above-mentioned straight line L simultaneously rises simultaneously became level (with reference to straight line L ').
Also have, do not act on wheel W generally at load F towards the vehicle body rear, the straight line A of bolt 17,19 is in prenex state before and after connecting, when the load F towards the vehicle body rear acts on wheel W, the angle of toein of the straight line A of bolt 17,19 will constantly reduce towards zero before and after connecting, wherein, front and back bolt 17,19 is connected in steering swivel main body 14 with underarm Support bracket 15.
Therefore, according to the 2nd embodiment, also can reach identical action effect with above-mentioned the 1st embodiment.
More than, embodiments of the invention have been described, but the present invention is not limited to the foregoing description, under the situation of in not breaking away from the claim scope, being put down in writing of the present invention, can carry out various design modifications.
For example, though in an embodiment illustration two V-arrangement arm type suspension device S, the present invention also can be applicable to the draft hitch of other arbitrary form.
Also have, the bolt 17 of front side is a thru-bolt among the embodiment, and the bolt 19 of rear side is common bolt, but the kind of bolt can be selected arbitrarily.
