Description

本発明は、ストラット式サスペンション装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a strut suspension device.

従来から、ショックアブソーバ、およびストラットマウントを備え、車両前後方向から見て、ショックアブソーバの中心軸、およびキングピン軸が、上方から下方に向かうに従い漸次、車両左右方向の外側に向けて延びるとともに、キングピン軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度が、前記中心軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度より大きいストラット式サスペンション装置が知られている。
この種のストラット式サスペンション装置として、例えば下記特許文献1に示されるような、転舵に伴い、タイヤおよびシリンダが一体にキングピン軸回りに回転したときに、シリンダの内周面のうち、車両左右方向の端部に位置する部分に、他の部分より摩擦係数が高い、前記中心軸方向に延びる帯状の高摩擦係数領域を形成した構成が知られている。この構成では、転舵時に、シリンダの内周面のうち、車両左右方向の端部に位置する高摩擦係数領域に、車体に生ずる遠心力に起因して、ショックアブソーバのピストンが押し付けられるので、シリンダに対するロッドの前記中心軸方向の摺動抵抗が高められ、ショックアブソーバの発揮する減衰力が高められる。これにより、転舵時のロールを抑制することができる。
Conventionally, a shock absorber and a strut mount are provided, and the central axis of the shock absorber and the kingpin axis, as viewed from the front-rear direction of the vehicle, gradually extend toward the outer side in the left-right direction of the vehicle from the upper side toward the lower side. A strut type suspension device is known in which the inclination angle of the shaft with respect to the vertical direction is larger than the inclination angle of the central axis with respect to the vertical direction.
As a strut type suspension device of this type, for example, as shown in Patent Document 1 below, when the tire and the cylinder integrally rotate around the kingpin axis due to steering, the left and right sides of the vehicle among the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder There is known a structure in which a belt-shaped high friction coefficient region extending in the central axis direction and having a higher friction coefficient than other portions is formed at a portion located at an end portion in the direction. In this configuration, at the time of steering, the piston of the shock absorber is pressed against the high friction coefficient region located at the end portion in the vehicle left-right direction of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder due to the centrifugal force generated in the vehicle body. The sliding resistance of the rod with respect to the cylinder in the direction of the central axis is increased, and the damping force exerted by the shock absorber is increased. Thereby, the roll at the time of turning can be suppressed.

しかしながら、前記従来のストラット式サスペンション装置では、低速で旋回走行した場合、高摩擦係数領域に対するピストンの押し付け力が小さく、ロールを抑えることが困難であるという問題があった。 However, the conventional strut type suspension device has a problem that when the vehicle travels at a low speed, the pressing force of the piston against the high friction coefficient region is small and it is difficult to suppress the roll.

本発明は、前述した事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することができるストラット式サスペンション装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a strut-type suspension device that can suppress rolls even during turning traveling at low speed.

上記の課題を解決するために、本発明は以下の手段を提案している。
本発明に係るストラット式サスペンション装置は、ショックアブソーバ、およびストラットマウントを備え、車両前後方向から見て、前記ショックアブソーバの中心軸、およびキングピン軸は、上方から下方に向かうに従い漸次、車両左右方向の外側に向けて延びるとともに、キングピン軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度が、前記中心軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度より大きく、前記ストラットマウントは、前記ショックアブソーバのロッドの上端部が固定される内側部材と、前記内側部材を、前記中心軸回りに沿う周方向に囲い車体側に取付けられる外側部材と、前記内側部材と前記外側部材との間に配設され、前記内側部材および前記外側部材を相対的に弾性変位可能に支持する本体ゴムと、を備え、前記内側部材と前記外側部材との間に、転舵に伴い、前記ショックアブソーバが、前記ロッドと前記内側部材との連結部分回りに、前記外側部材に対して前後方向に回転したときに、前記内側部材または前記外側部材に当接して圧縮変形し、前記ロッドに前記連結部分回りの反力を生じさせるアシストゴムが配設されている。
In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes the following means.
A strut type suspension device according to the present invention includes a shock absorber and a strut mount, and when viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction, the central axis of the shock absorber and the kingpin axis gradually move from the upper side to the lower side in the vehicle left-right direction. While extending outward, the tilt angle of the kingpin axis with respect to the vertical direction is larger than the tilt angle of the central axis with respect to the vertical direction, the strut mount is an inner member to which the upper end of the rod of the shock absorber is fixed, An outer member that surrounds the inner member in the circumferential direction around the central axis and is attached to the vehicle body side, and is disposed between the inner member and the outer member, and relatively positions the inner member and the outer member. A main body rubber elastically displaceably supported; and between the inner member and the outer member, the shock absorber is provided around the connecting portion between the rod and the inner member in association with steering. An assist rubber is provided that abuts against the inner member or the outer member and compressively deforms when the member rotates in the front-rear direction with respect to the member to generate a reaction force around the connecting portion on the rod.

この発明では、車両前後方向から見て、ショックアブソーバの中心軸、およびキングピン軸が、上方から下方に向かうに従い漸次、車両左右方向の外側に向けて延びるとともに、キングピン軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度が、前記中心軸の上下方向に対する傾斜角度より大きいので、ショックアブソーバは、転舵時に、ロッドと内側部材との連結部分回りに、外側部材に対して車両前後方向に回転する。
そして、内側部材と外側部材との間にアシストゴムが配設されていて、転舵に伴い、ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、外側部材に対して車両前後方向に回転したときに、アシストゴムが、内側部材または外側部材に当接して圧縮変形し、ロッドに前記連結部分回りの反力を生じさせる。したがって、転舵時に、アシストゴムから内側部材を介してロッドに加えられた反力によって、ショックアブソーバにおいて、ピストンをシリンダの内周面における車両前後方向の端部に強く押し付けることが可能になり、シリンダに対するロッドの前記中心軸方向の摺動抵抗を高めることができる。すなわち、転舵時に、旋回走行で生ずる遠心力によらず、ピストンをシリンダの内周面における車両前後方向の端部に強く押し付けることが可能になることから、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することができる。
According to the present invention, the central axis of the shock absorber and the kingpin axis gradually extend outward in the vehicle left-right direction as viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction, and the inclination angle of the kingpin axis with respect to the up-down direction increases. Since the central axis has a larger inclination angle with respect to the vertical direction, the shock absorber rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the outer member around the connecting portion between the rod and the inner member during steering.
An assist rubber is disposed between the inner member and the outer member, and when the shock absorber rotates around the connecting portion in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the outer member, the assist rubber is assisted. The rubber comes into contact with the inner member or the outer member to be compressed and deformed, and causes the rod to generate a reaction force around the connecting portion. Therefore, at the time of turning, the reaction force applied from the assist rubber to the rod via the inner member during the steering makes it possible to strongly press the piston to the end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder in the vehicle front-rear direction, in the shock absorber. The sliding resistance of the rod with respect to the cylinder in the central axis direction can be increased. That is, at the time of turning, the piston can be strongly pressed against the end portion of the inner peripheral surface of the cylinder in the vehicle front-rear direction regardless of the centrifugal force generated during turning, so that even at low speed turning traveling. Roll can be suppressed.

ここで、前記外側部材は、前記本体ゴムを上下方向の両側から覆う一対の支持部を備え、前記アシストゴムは、車両左右方向から見て、前記ロッドを車両前後方向に挟む両側に配設されるとともに、前記本体ゴムから上下方向の両側に突出し、一対の前記支持部と上下方向で対向してもよい。 Here, the outer member includes a pair of support portions that cover the main body rubber from both sides in the vertical direction, and the assist rubbers are arranged on both sides that sandwich the rod in the vehicle front-rear direction when viewed from the vehicle left-right direction. At the same time, it may protrude from the body rubber on both sides in the vertical direction and face the pair of support portions in the vertical direction.

この場合、アシストゴムが、車両左右方向から見て、ロッドを車両前後方向に挟む両側に配設されるとともに、本体ゴムから上下方向の両側に突出し、一対の支持部と上下方向で対向しているので、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することを、転舵の向きを問わず確実に実現することができる。 In this case, the assist rubbers are arranged on both sides of the rod in the vehicle front-rear direction when viewed from the vehicle left-right direction, protrude from the body rubber on both sides in the up-down direction, and face the pair of support parts in the up-down direction. Therefore, it is possible to surely suppress the roll even when the vehicle is turning at a low speed regardless of the steering direction.

また、前記ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、前記外側部材に対して車両前後方向に回転したときに、前記ロッドが受ける反力が、前記ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、前記外側部材に対して車両左右方向に回転したときに、前記ロッドが受ける反力より大きくてもよい。 When the shock absorber rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the outer member around the connecting portion, the reaction force received by the rod causes the shock absorber to move around the connecting portion to the outer member. On the other hand, it may be larger than the reaction force received by the rod when the vehicle rotates in the left-right direction.

この場合、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、外側部材に対して車両左右方向に回転したときに、ロッドが受ける反力を小さく抑えることが可能になり、乗り心地が悪化するのを抑制することができる。
なお、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、外側部材に対して車両前後方向に回転する角度は、一般に、転舵時、および上下ストローク時と比べて小さい。したがって、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバが、前記連結部分回りに、外側部材に対して車両前後方向に回転しても、ロッドがアシストゴムから受ける反力が小さく、アシストゴムを配設したことによる乗り心地の悪化は生じにくい。
In this case, the reaction force received by the rod when the shock absorber rotates in the vehicle left-right direction with respect to the outer member around the connecting portion during straight running can be suppressed, and the riding comfort deteriorates. Can be suppressed.
When the vehicle travels straight, the angle at which the shock absorber rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the outer member around the connecting portion is generally smaller than during steering and during vertical stroke. Therefore, even when the shock absorber rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction with respect to the outer member around the connecting portion during straight running, the reaction force received from the assist rubber by the rod is small, and the ride due to the provision of the assist rubber is prevented. Comfort is less likely to occur.

この発明によれば、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することができる。 According to the present invention, the roll can be suppressed even when the vehicle travels at a low speed.

The connecting portion P serves as an elastic center of the main body rubber 23, for example.
The kingpin axis K gradually extends toward the outer side in the vehicle left-right direction X from the upper side to the lower side. When viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction Z, the tilt angle of the kingpin axis K with respect to the vertical direction Y is larger than the tilt angle of the rod axis O with respect to the vertical direction Y.

そして、本実施形態では、内側部材21と外側部材22との間に、アシストゴム31が配設されていて、転舵に伴い、ショックアブソーバ13が、図3および図4に示されるように、ロッド16と内側部材21との連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Zに回転したときに、アシストゴム31が、内側部材21または外側部材22に当接して圧縮変形し、ロッド16に前記連結部分P回りの反力を生じさせる。 And in this embodiment, the assist rubber 31 is arrange|positioned between the inner side member 21 and the outer side member 22, and with the steering, the shock absorber 13 is, as shown in FIG. 3 and FIG. When the rod 16 and the inner member 21 are rotated around the connecting portion P in the vehicle front-rear direction Z with respect to the outer member 22, the assist rubber 31 comes into contact with the inner member 21 or the outer member 22 to be compressed and deformed, A reaction force around the connecting portion P is generated in the rod 16.

アシストゴム31は、本体ゴム23と一体に形成されている。なお、アシストゴム31は、本体ゴム23から離れて内側部材21若しくは外側部材22に配設されてもよい。
アシストゴム31は、車両左右方向Xから見て、ロッド16を車両前後方向Zに挟む両側に配設されている。アシストゴム31は、本体ゴム23において、ロッド16を車両前後方向Zに挟む両側に位置する各部分に、周方向に間隔をあけて複数ずつ形成されている。
The assist rubber 31 is formed integrally with the main body rubber 23. The assist rubber 31 may be disposed on the inner member 21 or the outer member 22 apart from the main body rubber 23.
The assist rubbers 31 are arranged on both sides of the rod 16 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z when viewed from the vehicle left-right direction X. A plurality of assist rubbers 31 are formed in the main body rubber 23 at respective portions located on both sides sandwiching the rod 16 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z at intervals in the circumferential direction.

アシストゴム31は、本体ゴム23から上下方向Yの両側に突出し、一対の支持部22aと上下方向Yで対向している。本体ゴム23の上面および下面に形成された各アシストゴム31の大きさは互いにほぼ同じとされ、形状は上下でほぼ対称となっている。アシストゴム31は、支持部22aに、上下方向Yに当接若しくは近接している。本体ゴム23の上面および下面に形成された各アシストゴム31、および内側部材21の外周縁部それぞれの径方向の位置は、互いに同等になっている。 The assist rubber 31 projects from the main body rubber 23 on both sides in the vertical direction Y and faces the pair of support portions 22 a in the vertical direction Y. The sizes of the assist rubbers 31 formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the main body rubber 23 are substantially the same, and the shapes thereof are substantially symmetrical in the vertical direction. The assist rubber 31 is in contact with or close to the support portion 22a in the vertical direction Y. The positions of the assist rubbers 31 formed on the upper surface and the lower surface of the main body rubber 23 and the radial positions of the outer peripheral edge portion of the inner member 21 are equal to each other.

図2に示されるように、内側部材21の外周縁部のうち、ロッド16を車両左右方向Xに挟む両側に位置する各部分に、被覆ゴム32が配設されている。被覆ゴム32は、内側部材21の上面および下面に配設されている。被覆ゴム32は、本体ゴム23と一体に形成されている。被覆ゴム32と、支持部22aと、の間には、上下方向Yに隙間が設けられている。被覆ゴム32の体積は、アシストゴム31の体積より小さい。
そして、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Zに回転したときに、ロッド16が受ける反力が、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両左右方向Xに回転したときに、ロッド16が受ける反力より大きい。
As shown in FIG. 2, the covering rubber 32 is provided on each portion of the outer peripheral edge portion of the inner member 21 which is located on both sides of the rod 16 in the vehicle left-right direction X. The covering rubber 32 is arranged on the upper surface and the lower surface of the inner member 21. The covering rubber 32 is formed integrally with the main body rubber 23. A gap is provided in the up-down direction Y between the cover rubber 32 and the support portion 22a. The volume of the covering rubber 32 is smaller than the volume of the assist rubber 31.
When the shock absorber 13 rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction Z with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P, the reaction force received by the rod 16 causes the shock absorber 13 to rotate around the connecting portion P. It is larger than the reaction force that the rod 16 receives when it rotates in the vehicle left-right direction X with respect to the outer member 22.

ショックアブソーバ13の、前記連結部分P回りの外側部材22に対する車両前後方向Zの回転移動量が大きくなるに従い漸次、ロッド16に生ずる前記連結部分P回りの反力、およびシリンダ19に対するロッド16のロッド軸O方向の摺動抵抗が高くなる。これらの回転移動量と摺動抵抗との関係は、ショックアブソーバ13の特性に合わせて、アシストゴム31の大きさ、および材質などを設計することで調整することができる。 As the rotational movement amount of the shock absorber 13 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P increases, the reaction force around the connecting portion P gradually occurs in the rod 16, and the rod of the rod 16 against the cylinder 19. The sliding resistance in the axis O direction increases. The relationship between the rotational movement amount and the sliding resistance can be adjusted by designing the size and material of the assist rubber 31 in accordance with the characteristics of the shock absorber 13.

以上説明したように、本実施形態によるストラット式サスペンション装置1によれば、車両前後方向Zから見て、ロッド軸O、およびキングピン軸Kが、上方から下方に向かうに従い漸次、車両左右方向Xの外側に向けて延びるとともに、キングピン軸Kの上下方向Yに対する傾斜角度が、ロッド軸Oの上下方向Yに対する傾斜角度より大きいので、ショックアブソーバ13は、転舵時に、ロッド16と内側部材21との連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Zに回転する。 As described above, according to the strut suspension device 1 of the present embodiment, when viewed from the vehicle front-rear direction Z, the rod axis O and the kingpin axis K gradually move in the vehicle left-right direction X from the upper side to the lower side. While extending outward, the inclination angle of the kingpin axis K with respect to the vertical direction Y is larger than the inclination angle of the rod axis O with respect to the vertical direction Y, so that the shock absorber 13 moves between the rod 16 and the inner member 21 during steering. It rotates in the vehicle longitudinal direction Z with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P.

そして、内側部材21と外側部材22との間にアシストゴム31が配設されていて、転舵に伴い、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Zに回転したときに、アシストゴム31が、外側部材22に当接して圧縮変形し、ロッド16に前記連結部分P回りの反力を生じさせる。したがって、転舵時に、アシストゴム31から内側部材21を介してロッド16に加えられた反力によって、ショックアブソーバ13において、ピストンをシリンダ19の内周面における車両前後方向Zの端部に強く押し付けることが可能になり、シリンダ19に対するロッド16のロッド軸O方向の摺動抵抗を高めることができる。すなわち、転舵時に、旋回走行で生ずる遠心力によらず、ピストンをシリンダ19の内周面における車両前後方向Zの端部に強く押し付けることが可能になることから、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することができる。 An assist rubber 31 is disposed between the inner member 21 and the outer member 22, and the shock absorber 13 rotates around the connecting portion P with respect to the outer member 22 in the vehicle longitudinal direction Z with the steering. When rotated, the assist rubber 31 comes into contact with the outer member 22 and compressively deforms, causing the rod 16 to generate a reaction force around the connecting portion P. Therefore, at the time of steering, the piston is strongly pressed by the reaction force applied from the assist rubber 31 to the rod 16 via the inner member 21 to the end of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 19 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z by the shock absorber 13. Therefore, the sliding resistance of the rod 16 with respect to the cylinder 19 in the rod axis O direction can be increased. That is, at the time of turning, the piston can be strongly pressed against the end portion of the inner circumferential surface of the cylinder 19 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z regardless of the centrifugal force generated during turning, so that the vehicle is turning at low speed. However, the roll can be suppressed.

また、アシストゴム31が、車両左右方向Xから見て、ロッド16を車両前後方向Zに挟む両側に配設されるとともに、本体ゴム23から上下方向Zの両側に突出し、一対の支持部22aと上下方向Zで対向しているので、低速での旋回走行であってもロールを抑制することを、転舵の向きを問わず確実に実現することができる。 Further, the assist rubbers 31 are disposed on both sides of the rod 16 in the vehicle front-rear direction Z as viewed in the vehicle left-right direction X, and project from the main body rubber 23 to both sides in the up-down direction Z to form a pair of support portions 22a. Since they are opposed to each other in the up-down direction Z, it is possible to reliably realize the roll suppression regardless of the steering direction even when the vehicle travels at a low speed.

また、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Zに回転したときに、ロッド16が受ける反力が、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両左右方向Xに回転したときに、ロッド16が受ける反力より大きくなっている。
したがって、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両左右方向Xに回転したときに、ロッド16が受ける反力を小さく抑えることが可能になり、乗り心地が悪化するのを抑制することができる。
Further, when the shock absorber 13 rotates around the connecting portion P in the vehicle front-rear direction Z with respect to the outer member 22, the reaction force received by the rod 16 causes the shock absorber 13 to rotate around the connecting portion P. It is larger than the reaction force received by the rod 16 when rotating in the vehicle left-right direction X with respect to the outer member 22.
Therefore, when the shock absorber 13 rotates in the vehicle left-right direction X with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P during straight traveling, it is possible to suppress the reaction force received by the rod 16 to be small. It is possible to suppress deterioration of comfort.

なお、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Xに回転する角度は、一般に、転舵時、および上下ストローク時と比べて小さい。したがって、直進走行時に、ショックアブソーバ13が、前記連結部分P回りに、外側部材22に対して車両前後方向Xに回転しても、ロッド16がアシストゴム31から受ける反力が小さく、アシストゴム31を配設したことによる乗り心地の悪化は生じにくい。 It should be noted that the angle at which the shock absorber 13 rotates in the vehicle front-rear direction X with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P during straight traveling is generally smaller than during steering and during vertical stroke. Therefore, even if the shock absorber 13 rotates in the vehicle longitudinal direction X with respect to the outer member 22 around the connecting portion P during straight traveling, the reaction force received from the assist rubber 31 by the rod 16 is small, and the assist rubber 31. It is unlikely that the ride comfort is deteriorated due to the provision of the.
