Fig. 2 shows the independent car in left side of the rear axle rotating 180 ° from front around vertical direction z Wheel suspension 1;More specifically observe on the contrary with travel direction x.Therefore, the present position of spring element 7 In the front of damping element 8 so that in this example damping element 8 be represented by dashed line, simultaneously The spring element 7 of the prospect being positioned in profile is apparent.Due to spring in this example Element 7 is helical spring, so its each winding 20 is visible in the cross-section.
Generally prolong it can be appreciated that spring element 7 has relative to being parallel to vertical direction z The inclination of the damping element 8 stretched.Select the inclination of spring element 7 so that the lower end of spring element 7 21 are supported against the bearing region 13 of wheel carrier 6 and the upper end 22 of spring element 7 is against vehicle The region of the stave 4 of structure 3 is supported.In this case, with further towards car The contrary direction of the transverse direction y at center on, the upper end 22 of spring element 7 biases.In order to Guaranteeing the abundant support of spring element 7, bearing 23,24 is arranged on its end.In this case, Upper bearing 23 is inserted between the upper end 22 of spring element 7 and stave 4 and bottom Bearing 24 is inserted between the lower end 21 of spring element 7 and the bearing region 13 of wheel carrier 6.For Allowing the inclination of spring element 7, two bearings 23,24 have corresponding wedge-type shape.
Fig. 3 also shows damping relative to each other in the way of the side view of independent wheel suspension 1 Element 8 and the position of spring element 7, wherein have the visual angle contrary with transverse direction y.At this In view, this view is absorbed in each element emphasizing that independent wheel hangs 1, remainder simultaneously The road wheel 9 and the vehicle structure 3 that are such as positioned in background represent the most by a dotted line.Permissible It is seen that damping element 8 and spring element 7 have spacing c each other, spacing c is parallel to row Sail direction x to extend.If necessary, spacing c can increase to allow drive shaft the most more It is illustrated in detail in the wheel bearing arrangement 8 towards wheel carrier 6 at damping element 8 and spring element 7 Between pass through.
