Vielmehr soll sich der Schutz auch auf prinzipiell beliebige Unterkombinationen der vorgenannten Merkmale beziehen.Protection is not only claimed for the combinations of features expressly stated or illustrated in the claims and / or in the following description and / or in the drawings. Rather, the protection should also refer in principle to any subcombinations of the aforementioned features.
In der Zeichnung ist eine erfindungsgemäße Achsanordnung beispielhaft dargestellt. Dabei zeigtIn the drawing, an axle arrangement according to the invention is shown as an example. It shows
Fig. 1 eine Draufsicht, Fig. 2 eine Seitenansicht,1 is a plan view, FIG. 2 is a side view,
Fig. 3 eine perspektivische Darstellung und Fig. 4 eine Frontansicht entsprechend der Schnittlinie IV-IV in den Fig. 1 und 2.3 is a perspective view and FIG. 4 is a front view according to section line IV-IV in FIGS. 1 and 2.
An einem nur in den Fig. 1 und 2 angedeuteten Fahrzeugrahmen bzw. Fahrzeugaufbau 100 ist eine um eine untere Mittellängs- achse 1 des Rahmens oder Aufbaus 100 schwenkbare doppelarmi- ge untere Traverse 2 angeordnet. Desweiteren ist eine um eine obere Mittellängsachse 3 des Rahmens oder Aufbaus 100 schwenkbare obere Traverse 4 vorgesehen.On a vehicle frame or vehicle body 100, which is only indicated in FIGS. 1 and 2, there is a axis 1 of the frame or superstructure 100 pivotable double-arm lower cross member 2 is arranged. Furthermore, an upper cross member 4, which can be pivoted about an upper central longitudinal axis 3 of the frame or structure 100, is provided.
An den freien Enden der beiden Arme der Traversen 2 und 4 sind ein rechtes Tragteil 5 sowie ein linkes Tragteil 6 angelenkt, wobei die jeweiligen Gelenkachsen parallel zu den Mittellängsachsen 1 und 3 ausgerichtet sind. Im Ergebnis bilden die Tragteile 5 und 6 mit den Traversen 2 und 4 einen parällelogrammartigen Verbund, wobei die vertikalen Hochachsen der Tragteile 5 und 6 jeweils zumindest etwa parallel zur vertikalen Hochachse des Aufbaus 100 ausgerichtet sind, da die Mittellängsachsen 1 und 3 fest am Aufbau 100 angeordnet und in einer die Mittellängsachse und die Mittelhochachse enthaltenden Ebene des Aufbaus erstreckt sind.A right support part 5 and a left support part 6 are articulated to the free ends of the two arms of the cross members 2 and 4, the respective joint axes being aligned parallel to the central longitudinal axes 1 and 3. As a result, the supporting parts 5 and 6 form a parallelelogram-like composite with the cross members 2 and 4, the vertical vertical axes of the supporting parts 5 and 6 each being aligned at least approximately parallel to the vertical vertical axis of the superstructure 100, since the central longitudinal axes 1 and 3 are fixed to the superstructure 100 arranged and extended in a plane of the structure containing the central longitudinal axis and the central vertical axis.
Jedes Tragteil 5 bzw. 6 haltert eine rechte bzw. linke federbare Radaufhängung 7 bzw. 8, die gemäß einer zweckmäßigen Ausgestaltung der Erfindung als Längsschwinge 9 bzw. 10 ausgebildet sein kann, welche jeweils um eine Querachse am zugeordneten Tragteil 5 bzw. 6 schwenkbar gelagert ist.Each support member 5 or 6 holds a right or left resilient wheel suspension 7 or 8, which can be designed according to an expedient embodiment of the invention as a longitudinal rocker 9 or 10, each pivotally mounted about a transverse axis on the associated support member 5 or 6 is.
Jede Schwinge 9 bzw. 10 trägt eine Achse 11 zur Aufnahme eines Rades 12.Each rocker 9 or 10 carries an axis 11 for receiving a wheel 12.
Jede Schwinge 9 bzw. 10 ist mittels eines Federaggregates 13 federnd an einem Widerlagerarm 14 angestützt. Zumindest eine der Schwingen, im Beispiel der Fig. 1 die rechte Schwinge 9, kann als Motorschwinge ausgebildet sein, welche einen Motor 15 zum Antrieb des von der jeweiligen Schwinge geführten Rades 12 trägt. Der Motor 15 kann über ein stufenlos steuerbares Umschlingungsgetriebe oder in prinzipiell beliebiger Weise mit dem zugeordneten Rad 12 antriebsgekoppelt sein.Each rocker 9 or 10 is resiliently supported on an abutment arm 14 by means of a spring assembly 13. At least one of the rockers, in the example of FIG. 1 the right rocker 9, can be designed as a motor rocker which carries a motor 15 for driving the wheel 12 guided by the respective rocker. The motor 15 can be drive-coupled to the associated wheel 12 via a continuously variable belt transmission or in principle in any manner.
Falls beide Schwingen 9 und 10 als Motorschwingen ausgebildet sind, wird durch entsprechende Motorsteuerung eine zumindest annähernd gleiche Drehmomentübertragung auf die Räder 12 erreicht.If both rockers 9 and 10 are designed as motor rockers, an at least approximately identical torque transmission to the wheels 12 is achieved by means of a corresponding motor control.
Das Fahrzeug 100 kann eine ähnlich konstruierte weitere Achsanordnung mit lenkbaren Rädern aufweisen, wenn ein Vierradfahrzeug gebildet werden soll.The vehicle 100 can have a similarly constructed further axle arrangement with steerable wheels if a four-wheel vehicle is to be formed.
Jedoch ist es auch möglich und vorteilhaft, das Fahrzeug als Dreiradfahrzeug auszubilden, wobei die dargestellte Achsanordnung die Hinterräder des Fahrzeuges trägt und als Vorderrad ein einziges, lenkbares Rad in einer einem Motorrad oder einem Motorroller entsprechenden Anordnung vorgesehen ist.However, it is also possible and advantageous to design the vehicle as a three-wheeled vehicle, the axle arrangement shown carrying the rear wheels of the vehicle and the front wheel being provided with a single, steerable wheel in an arrangement corresponding to a motorcycle or a scooter.
Die Räder 12 der dargestellten Achsanordnung können mit geringer Spurweite angeordnet sein, so dass sich ein Motorroller oder ein Motorrad mit zwei nebeneinander angeordneten Hinterrädern ergibt, die sich in gleicher Weise wie der Fahrzeugaufbau seitwärts neigen. Dabei kann dieses dreirädrige Motorrad bzw. dieser dreirädrige Motorroller wie ein herkömmliches Motorrad bzw. ein herkömmlicher Motorroller gefahren werden.The wheels 12 of the axle arrangement shown can be arranged with a small track width, so that there is a scooter or a motorcycle with two rear wheels arranged side by side, which incline sideways in the same way as the vehicle body. This three-wheel motorcycle or this three-wheel motor scooter can be driven like a conventional motorcycle or a conventional motor scooter.
Gegebenenfalls kann eine Möglichkeit vorgesehen sein, bei langsamer Fahrt (Kriechfahrt) und aufrechtem Fahrzeugaufbau 100 die Schwenkbeweglichkeit zumindest einer der Traversen 2 bzw. 4 mittels einer manuell betätigbaren oder automatisch wirkenden Steuerung zu hemmen, so dass der Fahrer das Fahrzeug in aufrechter Position anhalten oder abstellen kann, ohne zur Abstützung des Fahrzeuges seine Füße einsetzen oder einen Ständer benutzen zu müssen.If necessary, a possibility can be provided to inhibit the swiveling mobility of at least one of the cross members 2 or 4 during slow travel (crawl) and upright vehicle body 100 by means of a manually operable or automatically acting control unit, so that the driver stops or parks the vehicle in an upright position can without using his feet to support the vehicle or using a stand.
Die vorgenannte Arretierung wirkt vorzugsweise auf die untere Traverse 2, die im dargestellten Beispiel als lasttragende Traverse ausgebildet ist, während die obere Traverse 4 im wesentlichen nur Führungsfunktion hat und dazu dienen soll, die Tragteile 5 und 6 und damit die Radialebenen der Räder 12 immer parallel zu der die Längs- und Hochachsen des Aufbaus 100 enthaltenden vertikale Mittellängsebene des Aufbaus zu führen. Anstelle der nicht lasttragenden oberen Traverse 4 können auch voneinander separate Querlenker vorgesehen sein, um die Tragteile 5 und, 6 in Fahrzeugquerrichtung festzuhalten.The aforementioned locking preferably acts on the lower cross member 2, which in the example shown is designed as a load-carrying cross member, while the upper cross member 4 essentially has only a guiding function and is intended to keep the supporting parts 5 and 6 and thus the radial planes of the wheels 12 always parallel to the vertical longitudinal central plane of the structure containing the longitudinal and vertical axes of the structure 100. Instead of the non-load bearing upper cross member 4 separate from each other wishbones can also be provided to the supporting parts 5 and to hold in the vehicle transverse direction. 6
