Background technology
Vehicle according to the invention especially designs for the city travelling, and is suitable for the city travelling.Yet it must be understood that vehicle according to the invention is not limited to use in the city.It can use in the rural area equally and can be used for long-term travel.
In the urban highway four-wheeled vehicle especially the quantity of automobile constantly increase factual aspect ground explanation that this can the purchasing power by each family rises.This is in the city and the reason of the many traffic jams of peri-urban.The get on the car increase of quantity of road also is the reason that city parking position lacks.
Because these problems, some chaufeurs to two-wheeled vehicle for example motor bike like surpassing automobile.Have very little size because compare them with automobile, have the advantage of parking easily, and they are easy to pass from city traffic at the built up area motor bike.But such vehicle has their shortcoming.Be different from automobile, they do not provide the actv. protection to chaufeur, and Here it is can very serious reason when the accident that comprises rider takes place.In addition, when bad weather, drive such machine very difficulty that can become immediately, for example blow sulky vehicle to be blown and turn over, or rain and the road surface is become skid.Because rider may drop to ground and therefore be subjected to very serious wound from car when brake, so it is more dangerous than the vehicle of the type that drives a car to drive such machine, especially on the road that skids.
For overcoming especially as the defective of illustrated prior art in U.S. Pat 6149226 and in number 2831866 disclosed french patent applications, special purpose of the present invention is to reduce city parking problem and traffic blocking problem.Another object of the present invention is to reduce the problem of two-wheeled vehicle.
Summary of the invention
The present invention relates to a kind of four-wheeled vehicle, it is designed to take less position when parking and can passes through between the two automobiles with average (gap) size when traffic jam.According to the present invention, described vehicle has one or more features of following qualification and explanation, and these features can be carried out various technical functionality combinations.
Vehicle according to the invention comprises the chaufeur vehicle seat that is contained in the operator's compartment, and the size of this operator's compartment can only be held a people on Width.Therefore this vehicle is designed to narrow at the traditional automobile that laterally holds at least two people usually than operator's compartment.
According to the present invention; in its preferred embodiment, be contained in operator's compartment is installed on the chassis in the driver protecting structure, and have certain height in this structure of the side of vehicle; thereby be rolled under the situation of its side at vehicle or under case of collision, this structure is protected the leg of chaufeur at least.In addition, this structure can be equipped with Windshield in the front portion of vehicle.

On vehicle seat and opposite side arm 23, in order when vehicle uses the chair back of vehicle seat to be fastened on the fixed position, the inside of car body has been equipped with the device (not shown) of the fastening chair back.
For back seat 14, its chair back can be along at least one long rails (not shown) translation.Like this, when not having the passenger, the chair back 16 of back seat 14 can be placed on the chair back 22 that leans against front stall 2, provides more storage space with the rear portion at vehicle.
The chair back 16 of back seat 14 also has been equipped with carriage 17.Carriage 17 is in the edge, rear portion of the chair back 16 and the parallel plane rotational of the chair back 16.When carriage is shown in an open position and when the chair back 16 of vehicle seat 14 was in the position that the passenger can sit down, this carriage can be used as the base plate of vehicle luggage space.Open and the chair back 16 of vehicle seat 14 when being arranged to lean against on the chair back 22 of front stall when carriage, carriage covers the horizontal cushion 15 of back seat 14, thereby forms the plane more easily of placing article.Carriage 17 is also protected cushion 15.
Operator's compartment is installed on the chassis 3 (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4), is contained in the car body 4 that is used for protecting chaufeur in this chassis 3." interior dress " is interpreted as chassis 3 and car body 4 is fixed together.
Chassis 3 preferably includes two arcs (arc), one the anterior of vehicle and one at the rear portion.These two arcs are connected to each other by at least one attaching parts, make that (formed) assembly is enough hard to bear particularly torsion and thrust and the tractive force that stands in the vehicular drive process.This assembly can also provide protection when slide-out.Chassis 3 also is equipped with the surge protection assembly of " collision case " type of using under the situation that is used at least having an accident in the front portion of vehicle.
As among Fig. 1 as can be seen; car body 4 is made by this way; be that it forms operator's compartment and is not subjected to the influence of weather with the protection chaufeur, if the reinforcement that described operator's compartment comprises vehicular sideview is to protect the leg of chaufeur at least under slide-out or situation about bumping.Car body 4 also has been equipped with bump rubber 41 in the front portion of vehicle.
For better stability, vehicle 1 is designed to its weight is concentrated near ground.For this reason, the top of car body is narrower than the wideest part of car body.Therefore vehicle occupies less space.This means that also back mirror 18 can be arranged in the top of car body, and the bigger width of width that vehicle is occupied below by its car body in occupation ratio on the road.Power Train 19 also is positioned at under-seat, and more specifically, Power Train 19 is positioned at the below (Fig. 2) of the cushion 15 of passenger seat 14.Layout also discharges the storage space at vehicle rear like this.
For near driving engine, car body can be equipped with the inlet valve in the side.Another possibility is to make the horizontal cushion 15 of vehicle seat 14 removable.The device that the inlet valve does not illustrate mobile cushion 15 yet both be not shown in the accompanying drawings.
According to the present invention, vehicle 1 comprises balancing device, and it can use in the turning process with on relative horizontal surface bevelled ground: this balancing device tilts to work in by at least two front-wheels 10 that are connected to chassis 3 on the vehicle cab and vehicle.Balancing device is connected on the chassis 3.In order to make vehicle 1 have better stability when front-wheel 10 tilts, wheel 10 has at least one elliptic wheel tyre surface as bike wheel.In addition, the inclination angle of front-wheel 10 and chassis are mutually the same to guarantee the optimum stabilization of vehicle 1 with respect to the inclination angle of vertical surface in the turning process.
In the context of this embodiment, tilt operator's compartment with balancing vehicle owing to observed when vehicle has signaling handle 40 rather than has bearing circle chaufeur in the mode of intuition more, so vehicle is equipped with signaling handle 40 (Fig. 1,2,3 and 4).Yet, especially comprise closed protective along the profile of car body, or be when automatically producing that steering device of vehicles can also be a bearing circle by servomechanism in inclination at vehicle.
When vehicle moved when static or with low speed, vehicle 1 also had the bevelled device on two front-wheels 10 of locking and chassis 3.The tilt lock mechanism of wheel 10 comprises control setup, this control setup when zero velocity or low speed with the tilt-lock on chassis 3 (chassis) residing inclination angle when the locking.
Even this restriction makes---especially when static---when the anti-locking mechanism that tilts is no longer worked or when not using anti-locking mechanism, vehicle can not tumbled yet.This can finish by mechanical stop.On the other hand, when high speed, this limiting device is removable to allow bigger maximum inclination, and this can be used for improving the dynamic performance of described vehicle.
Fig. 3 and Fig. 4 relate to a kind of vehicle, car body that its protection structure is and protection leg wideer than the leg of chaufeur and the guard shield 30 with two headlights 31.Thereby it can rotate with respect to guard shield 30 to pass guard shield 30 with signaling handle 40 bonded assembly Steering gears 34.
As can be seen in Figures 3 and 4, inclination by front-wheel 10 and chassis 3 comes the device of balancing vehicle 1 to comprise two parallelogram that are connected, and these two parallelogram connect chassis and front-wheel and allow the chassis of vehicles and the front-wheel basic angle same that tilts simultaneously by gauge finder 7.Similar device can also be set so that trailing wheel tilts, balancing device comprises same gauge finder 7 in this case.
3 both sides all are furnished with such bonded assembly parallelogram on the chassis.They comprise two arms 5 and 6, and each arm all has an end 51,61 that can pivot in the front portion of vehicle respectively on the chassis, and the other end 52,62 of each arm pivots in the element 11 on the propeller boss 12 that is fixed to each front-wheel 10 respectively.Therefore arm 5 and 6 formation make the four arm axletrees (two arms 5 and two arms 6) that the described chassis 3 while bevelled of two front-wheels 10 and the operator's compartment that is connected to vehicle 1 is connected.
Described in the text according in the embodiments of the invention, an end of T shape gauge finder 7 pivots on the chassis 3 of front part of vehicle.On the arm that two suspension type damper springs 8 are fixed to axletree by a side or the end on the opposite side on chassis 3 respectively.In order to obtain maximum cushioning performance, damper spring preferably is fixed on the minimum arm in relative ground 6 and close wheel 10.The other end of two damper springs 8 pivots around the other end of gauge finder 7, preferably makes the axis of damper spring 8 keep as much as possible perpendicular to horizontal surface.By such layout, for example when travelling on the ground that vehicle is jolting or from footway following time, damper spring 8 provides best buffering.
Shown in Fig. 3 and 4, gauge finder 7 advantageously is a T shape, or shown in Fig. 8 and 7, is positioned at the space of central authorities with saving for the harp shape (reference symbol 80) of opening wide.The tilt lock mechanism of vehicle according to the invention is designed to tilt when stationary vehicle or almost static time locking.In certain embodiments, tilt lock mechanism mainly comprises the stop mechanism that gauge finder 7 is locked in its current location.Stop mechanism advantageously is installed on the chassis, and wants blocked part to be connected to gauge finder 7, and perhaps wanting blocked part is the part of gauge finder 7.
At stop mechanism shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8.Among Fig. 8, stop mechanism comprises the member on claw 81 that is connected on the vehicle chassis and the gauge finder 80 that is connected to the harp shape, and this member is a section of disk 82 and can be locked by claw 81: locked the inclination of vehicle like this.Fig. 7 shows another embodiment of tilt-lock stop mechanism.Train of gears 83 is connected on the harp shape gauge finder 80 in this case.Train of gears 83 and miniature gears 84 engagements that are pivotally connected on the chassis.
In the context of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, when car retardation to the lower limit of speed when stopping, and when vehicle stopped, stop mechanism was automatically operated the inclination with the locking vehicle.Similarly, when vehicle take-offs, vehicle will begin to move or when surpassing certain speed, stop mechanism automatically discharges.
When residue transverse acceleration (RTA) when non-vanishing, stop mechanism advantageously can be used to lock the inclination of vehicle, thus prevent vehicle along the direction of centnifugal force with himself normotopia and prevent upset possible on this direction.
Vehicle design shown in Fig. 1 becomes balancing device that whole four wheels 10 are tilted.In order to achieve this end, vehicle 1 also has two arms that are positioned at the rear portion, 3 either side rotates these two arms on the chassis in couples with second gauge finder that is installed to 3 rear portions, chassis, and second gauge finder and preceding gauge finder 7 are similar and be installed in a similar fashion on the chassis 3 at rear portion of described vehicle.
Use the gauge finder 7 of same type, also can use the towed trailing wheel that keeps by the arm that is parallel to the chassis.
In addition, vehicle 1 can be equipped with the system of wing drop vehicle 1.Unshowned in the drawings this system makes vehicle generation actual tilt in non-unbalanced mode.Computer has the task to system's mail message, and this system is based on for example RTA value inclination that comes control vehicle of the information of supplying with.
Chaufeur also can send instruction to system based on driving habit.For example, chaufeur can be told system's (his driving habit) under the help of the housing that is provided with slide block, and this slide block can move to a plurality of positions, and each position of slide block is corresponding to a kind of predetermined driving style.
The zone of being represented by ground supporting polygon means, can observe the desirable leaning angle that has some inaccuracies, and can not influence vehicle stability when turning; If not allowing overturning immediately with vehicle wherein, this does not need the situation of the sulky vehicle of maximum accuracy to form contrast.
This system is preferably designed as the inclination that can revise vehicle automatically.
In order to achieve this end, computer based is determined the desirable inclination angle of vehicle in the various parameters that will consider (it should be noted that the ground gradient with respect to the horizontal plane that load weight, speed and the vehicle of vehicle stop), and the actual inclination angle of desirable inclination angle and wheel, chassis and operator's compartment is compared.Feedback mechanism guarantees that the inclination angle of vehicle is corresponding with the selection of chaufeur.
Scheme is conceivable in the middle of many.Particularly, this system can make wheel, operator's compartment and chassis tilt according to the information that chaufeur provides.Chaufeur can select to allow system in a single day detect to exist between actual inclination angle and desirable inclination angle certain deviation just allow system correction vehicle inclination angle.
Make system can determine that the device at desirable inclination angle can be a plurality of combination of elements, these elements are accelerometer for example, or its pointer is connected to the vibrating mass of decay a little to reduce the amperemeter of undesirable vibration.
Vehicle has at least one sliding door 13, thereby chaufeur can enter the inside of vehicle 1.Sliding door 13 makes that vehicle takies less space at vehicle periphery than the vehicle that traditional hinged door is installed when door is opened.In addition, because vehicle will rock under the weight effect of hinged door, when car door opening, can not make the unbalanced advantage of vehicle so select sliding door 13 to provide.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 are according to for example partial view of bevelled vehicle when turning of the present invention.Vehicle has normotopia device, with when vehicle is not in vertical position easily with the vehicle normotopia.
In initial embodiment shown in Figure 7, normotopia device is two pedals 71 and 72 that can the inwall 73 by vehicle slide.In the lower end of each pedal is a kind of fork 74, and when arm 5 during in the extreme higher position, fork just in time contacts the end 52 near the horizontal upper arm 5 of the balance parallelogram of wheel nave.When chaufeur was wished the vehicle normotopia, he promoted to be positioned at the pedal of vehicle lower side, and this meets the instinct action; He can and make vehicle get back to the upright position with the vehicle normotopia like this.Operation normotopia pedal is release locking device automatically, thereby chaufeur does not need to carry out any other action and comes release locking device and make the vehicle normotopia possibility that becomes, maybe can discharge, for example the chaufeur button that is easy to touch by other manual control.When depressing by this way, pedal is pushed to the end 52 of the arm 5 that is positioned at the vehicle lower side, thereby applies downward and vertical substantially power, and this power can make deformable parallelogram turn back to the normal position that is equivalent to rectangle as shown in Figure 3 substantially.
In second embodiment shown in Figure 8, this normotopia device is made of two connecting rods 75 and 76 that can slide by the header board 73 of vehicle.The lower end of each connecting rod is connected with the end 52 of the horizontal upper arm 5 of balance parallelogram, and near wheel nave.When chaufeur was wished the vehicle normotopia, his pulling was positioned at the connecting rod of top side of vehicle, and this also meets the instinct action, with the vehicle normotopia and make vehicle get back to the upright position.
This action on the connecting rod spurs the end 52 of the arm 5 of the top side that is positioned at vehicle, and applies the also vertical substantially power that makes progress, and this power can make deformable parallelogram turn back to the normal position that is equivalent to rectangle as shown in Figure 3 substantially.
Another possible modification is used pedal 71 and 72 similar two pedals with Fig. 7, and each all is designed to be positioned at by pulling the arm 5 of the opposite side of pedal itself and operates.By this way, can vertically act on the arm rather than in embodiment as shown in Figure 7 along tilting axis (acting on the arm).By this way, the forced stroke of pedal can shorten.Should be understood that the pin that acts on the pedal can apply the bigger power of arm than the pulling connecting rod.
Also can provide and use electronic or the hydraulic actuator embodiment of the normotopia device of actuating cylinder for example.
Can be by tilt chassis only and the front-wheel that must both not tilt the simultaneously trailing wheel that tilts is the same as the inclination of vehicle and four wheels, there is no need forwardly normotopia device all to be installed with the rear portion.Because the wheel flutter stub (wheel caster) of normotopia device on need acting on the front-wheel steering geometry is more efficient, so more preferably normotopia device only is installed in the front portion.
Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 illustrate normotopia device, if vehicle not in the upright position, then can be with the vehicle normotopia by this normotopia device.Normotopia device adopts the form of two springs, and for example coil spring 77, and the upper end of this spring is fixed to the fulcrum on 3 one members of chassis, and the lower end of this spring is fixed to the upper end of damper spring 8.Particularly when static, this normotopia device turns back to vehicle the symmetrical vertical position lentamente, locks vehicle then.
In Fig. 7 and Fig. 8, four-headed arrow is represented the fact that the attachment point of spring 77 for example can vertically move by actuating cylinder between two end positions.When this point of connection (attachment point) rose, this point of connection can extension spring 77.This variation that can be used in speed increases the power that chaufeur makes inclination of vehicle, and for example the power when low speed is greater than the power when the high speed.
Fig. 9 and Figure 10 illustrate vehicle according to the invention some advantage with respect to the vehicle that does not have balancing device according to the present invention.In the situation of Fig. 9, a side of vehicle is on the footway, and vehicle moves or stops.Even vehicle is very narrow, thereby balancing device also can make vehicle keep vertically not existing the danger of overturning away from the footway.
Figure 10 is the situation of vehicle when turning little curved or flipper turn.Because the inclination of vehicle 1, depend primarily on load weight P, speed and the vehicle parking of vehicle the ground-surface gradient centnifugal force C of formed horizontal alignment (and therefore depend on) and if have wind also to depend on the R with joint efforts of the center of gravity G effect of pass through vehicle of the direction of wind, pass the supporting polygon of vehicle, in other words, R passes between four wheels of vehicle with joint efforts.
The inclination that a feature of the present invention is a vehicle advantageously is restricted to can be less than so-called desirable bevelled value.The ideal inclination of vehicle is that the R that makes a concerted effort of the tiltable part of vehicle passes the longitudinal axis that vehicle supports polygonal symmetry.In this case, a power R that the existence meeting presses down vehicle earthward, and do not have the excess force that can cause that vehicle is tumbled to its side.
Figure 10 shows actual tilt (axis 85) less than desirable bevelled situation.In this case, make a concerted effort that R can be decomposed into the power V that vehicle pressed down earthward along axis 85 and perpendicular to the power RTF (being expressed as FTR in the drawings) of tilt axis 85.This power RTF is corresponding to residue transverse acceleration RTA, and proportional with it.According to the present invention, detect or measure this residue transverse acceleration RTA with control and restriction inclination of vehicle.For this reason, preferably on vehicle diad, single-axis accelerometer is being installed on the chassis, thereby the plane of symmetry that the sensitieness of this accelerometer for example is orientated to the chassis meets at right angles near the average center of gravity of vehicle tiltable part.
For locking inclination when producing the power (RTF) of residue transverse acceleration, can use accekeration RTA, and in case should value tilt with regard to locking above predetermined threshold by the accelerometer generation.When power RTF reduction, and when the residue transverse acceleration RTA by accelerometer measures is lower than second threshold value (for hysteresis is provided, this second threshold value may be different with activation threshold value), can discharge tilt-lock.
The possibility of another tilt-lock is that this tilt-lock engages when RTA surpasses threshold value, only to act on the direction of residue transverse acceleration and to allow freely to tilt in other direction.Can prevent that like this vehicle from may make the RTA direction of its rolling (outside towards the turning) go up normotopia, and allow vehicle to tilt and therefore reduce the RTA value simultaneously, be in maximum inclination up to vehicle at least in the direction relative with RTA.
When RTA rose suddenly, locking preferably also can engage, and detects this unexpected rising by the derivative of RTA is compared with predetermined threshold.When vehicle for example when laterally inclined and chaufeur quickens vehicle rapidly to it, this phenomenon takes place, can make vehicle upright like this and overturn on the direction of RTA then: this can stop by tilt-lock.In the base model of vehicle according to the invention, when not having automatic balance device, only need two sensors, a sensor is used for detecting the speed of (but energy measurement) vehicle, thereby more than a certain speed, discharge the inclination stop mechanism, another sensor is an accelerometer, and it is installed on the chassis and detects (but energy measurement) RTA.
In the modification of vehicle of the present invention, all blocking devices are combined in the stop mechanism, and this stop mechanism is in latched position and usually only by being discharged by the wing drop control command in the limit of setting by above explanation.
In more complicated form, advantageously control multiple function by operatorless device, described operatorless device comprises above-mentioned detector, computing machine and automotive vehicle leaning device, for example actuating cylinder or the drive pinion by " electrically operated substantially " revolution, this motor itself is by feedback and computing machine (for example, from RTA information) control.Limit in this case tilt boundary limiting device can in be contained in the train of gears, wherein quadrant gear is connected to gauge finder 7 or actuating cylinder controller.
In another modification, at whole four wheels of vehicle all under the bevelled situation, can be provided with two tilt-lock stop mechanisms, stop mechanism forwardly and one at the rear portion, when RTA (or its derivative) greater than predetermined threshold and be in when slowing down, anterior stop mechanism locking is tilted, thereby because the more flexible lock out action that makes of front-wheel steering geometry is softer; Rear portion stop mechanism and anterior stop mechanism locking inclination more rigidly together when stopping.At last, in Fig. 8, can see fixing limiting device 90: this limiting device is installed on the chassis and the relative tilt between restriction chassis and the gauge finder, and therefore limits the maxim of inclination of vehicle.
Above-mentioned explanation has explained clearly how the present invention realizes its target.
Especially, in general idea of the present invention, will see, although the vehicle width that has described in detail is very little highly stable.
Especially, can produce the vehicle of very narrow width, the about 60cm of width for example, its center of gravity about 60cm above wheel and ground-surface contact surface.When static or low speed, maximum inclination is defined as about 18 degree by the inclination device for limiting.This restriction can rise to 25 degree when running at high speed, and is equivalent to 45 degree (this is very big angle) under the situation of motor bike.
Yet, it will be clear that the foregoing invention of the embodiment that is not limited to specify and illustrates in the drawings.
For example, vehicle according to the invention can have two car doors.This allows chaufeur to stop by wall, and do not need to consider vehicle with respect to the orientation of wall so that can get off.
Similarly, second car door can be installed by this way, think that the back passengers vehicle seat provides immediate access, advantageously car door is mounted to the front portion that can slide into vehicle in this case from the rear portion of vehicle, and the front portion of when door is opened, not stretching out car body.
More simply, under the situation of single door, if the vehicle roll extrusion makes described car door not open on its car door side, safe opening will allow an occupant or a plurality of occupant to come out from vehicle.
At last, it must be understood that vehicle according to the invention can be equipped with all item securities, for example safety strap, windscreen wiper and traction control apparatus or anti-skid brake system.Vehicle can also be equipped with annex, for example temperature booster, air-conditioning, have sun-roof, radio receiver, cartridge tape unit or CD player, computer navigation system, the auto door that soft top maybe can take off hard roof and open control setup, and spendable other comfortable or safety attachment of vehicle.Vehicle according to the invention can also be provided on the vehicle of certain limit, for example baby truck, autotruck, 4 * 4 or cross-country and racing car on.
