Description

삼륜차량의 후륜서스펜션{Rear suspension for three-wheeled car}Rear suspension for three-wheeled car}

본 발명은 삼륜차량의 후륜서스펜션 구조에 관한 것으로서, 더욱 상세하게는 전륜이 두 개이고 후륜이 한 개로 구성되는 삼륜차량에 있어 선회 안정성 및 롤 안전성을 향상시키기 위해 차량의 선회방향에 따라 후륜의 토우각(toe angle) 및 캠버각(camber angle)이 자동적으로 조절되는 삼륜차량의 후륜서스펜션에 관한 것이다.
The present invention relates to a rear wheel suspension structure of a three-wheeled vehicle, and more particularly, in a three-wheeled vehicle having two front wheels and one rear wheel, the toe angle of the rear wheels according to the turning direction of the vehicle to improve turning stability and roll safety. A rear wheel suspension of a three-wheeled vehicle in which a toe angle and a camber angle are automatically adjusted.

현재 세계적으로 차량의 연비를 개선하기 위한 노력이 계속되고 있다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로써 파워트레인의 성능을 개선하거나 차량의 중량을 절감시키는 연구가 계속되고 있다.At present, efforts are being made to improve the fuel efficiency of vehicles worldwide. As part of this effort, research is being conducted to improve the performance of the powertrain or to reduce the weight of the vehicle.

이와 같은 취지에 부합하도록, 삼륜차량이 친환경 이동 수단으로서 그리고 보다 경량화된 운송수단으로서 새롭게 개발된 바 있다.To this end, the three-wheeled vehicle has been newly developed as an environmentally friendly vehicle and a lighter vehicle.

상기와 같이 경량화 및 친환경성을 컨셉으로 개발된 삼륜차량은 전륜이 하나로 구성(삼각형 구조)되거나 후륜이 하나로 구성(역삼각형 구조)되는 구조로서 사륜차량과 대비하여 경량화 및 연비 향상 측면에서 장점이 있으나 주행 안정성이 저하되는 단점이 있다.The three-wheeled vehicle developed with the concept of light weight and eco-friendliness as described above has a merit in that the front wheel consists of one (triangle structure) or the rear wheel consists of one (inverted triangle structure) in terms of light weight and fuel efficiency improvement compared to four-wheeled vehicles. There is a disadvantage that the running stability is lowered.

이 중, 전륜이 두 개이고 후륜이 한 개인 삼륜차에 적용되는 종래의 후륜 서스펜션은 (오토바이의 후륜에 일반적으로 적용되던 방식으로서 상하운동만 가능한) 스윙 암 타입이 주로 적용되었다.Among these, the conventional rear wheel suspension, which is applied to a tricycle having two front wheels and one rear wheel, is mainly applied to a swing arm type (only vertical movement is possible as a method generally applied to rear wheels of a motorcycle).

도 1 을 참조하면, 전륜이 두 개이고 후륜이 한 개인 삼륜차에 있어 종래의 서스펜션 구조는 차체프레임의 후방끝단으로 "H" 모양의 암(arm)이 힌지핀을 통해 결합되어 상하로 힌지회동(상하 피벗운동)하며 댐핑스트럿(미도시)의 범프(bump) 및 리바운드(rebound) 운동에 의해 충격을 완충시키도록 구성된다. 즉, 상기 암은 후륜의 회전축(axis of rotation)이 후방 끝단에 결합되고 전방 끝단은 힌지핀을 통하여 차체프레임에 결합되되 지면의 요철에 따라 상하피벗운동을 하도록 구성되었다.
Referring to FIG. 1, in a three-wheeled vehicle having two front wheels and one rear wheel, a conventional suspension structure is hinged up and down by a "H" shaped arm coupled to the rear end of the body frame through a hinge pin. Pivoting) and configured to dampen the impact by bump and rebound movement of a damping strut (not shown). That is, the arm is configured such that the axis of rotation of the rear wheel is coupled to the rear end and the front end is coupled to the body frame through the hinge pin to move up and down according to the surface irregularities.

하지만, 후륜이 하나인 삼륜차의 경우 사륜차량과 동일한 성능의 타이어가 장착됐을 때를 기준으로 코너링력이 절반 수준으로 저하된다. 따라서, 동일한 코스의 선회 시 사륜차량에 비해 후륜의 횡력(차량 선회에 따라 횡측 방향으로 작용하는 힘을 지지하는 힘)이 작아 스핀아웃(spin-out)이 발생할 가능성이 증가되었다. 즉, 선회 안정성이 저하되는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the case of a three-wheeled vehicle with one rear wheel, the cornering force is reduced by half based on when tires having the same performance as the four-wheeled vehicle are mounted. Accordingly, the possibility of spin-out is increased because the lateral force of the rear wheels (the force supporting the force acting in the lateral direction as the vehicle turns) is smaller than that of the four-wheeled vehicle when turning the same course. That is, there existed a problem that turning stability falls.

아울러, 전술한 바와 같은 스윙암 타입 서스펜션 구조는 횡력이 작용할 때, 컴플라이언스 효과(진동 및 변형을 흡수하기 위한 서스펜션용 고무재 부시들이 외력에 의해 변형되어 얼라이먼트가 변하고 핸들이 조향된 것과 같은 현상이 발생하는 효과)로 토우 아웃(toe-out)이 발생되는 경향이 있다.In addition, in the swing arm type suspension structure as described above, when the lateral force is applied, a phenomena such as a compliance effect (a rubber bush for suspension for absorbing vibration and deformation are deformed by external force, the alignment is changed, and the steering wheel is steered). Toe-out occurs.

즉, 이와 같이 구성된 스윙암 타입의 서스펜션은 차량의 선회시 발생하는 원심력과 횡력에 의해 (오버스티어 모멘트가 유발되어) 차량의 선회 안정성이 저하되었다. 이에 따라, 후륜이 정상 괘도를 이탈하여 차량의 주행 안정성이 감소되는 문제점이 있었다.That is, in the swing arm type suspension configured as described above, the turning stability of the vehicle is deteriorated due to the centrifugal force and the lateral force generated during the turning of the vehicle. Accordingly, there is a problem in that the driving stability of the vehicle is reduced because the rear wheels deviate from the normal trajectory.

그러므로, 본 발명은 상기와 같은 문제점이 해소되도록(오버스티어 모멘트에 대응하는 언더스티어 모멘트가 유발되도록) 선회시 후륜의 토우각 및 캠버각을 강제적으로 유도함으로서 선회안정성 및 롤 안정성을 증대시킨 삼륜차량의 후륜서스펜션을 제공하는 것에 주목적이 있다.
Therefore, the present invention provides a three-wheeled vehicle that improves turning stability and roll stability by forcibly inducing the toe angle and camber angle of the rear wheel during turning so that the above problems are eliminated (to cause an understeer moment corresponding to the oversteer moment). The main purpose is to provide a rear suspension of the vehicle.

상기 너클조립체는, 일측 끝단에 후륜의 회전축이 결합된 포크암;과 후륜의 토우각을 가변시키도록 차체프레임의 후방 끝단에서 좌우방향으로 회전가능하게 장착되되 롤커넥터와 연결된 토우커넥터; 및 상기 포크암과 토우커넥터를 연결하되, 포크암이 좌우방향으로 회전함에 따라 후륜의 캠버각 변화를 유도하는 포크암의 축 회전이 발생하도록 차체프레임 끝단에 연결된 캠버커넥터;를 포함하여 구성된다.The knuckle assembly includes: a fork arm coupled to a rotational axis of the rear wheel at one end; and a tow connector rotatably mounted at the rear end of the body frame so as to vary the toe angle of the rear wheel, the roll connector being connected to the roll connector; And a camber connector connected to the fork arm and the toe connector, wherein the camber connector is connected to the end of the body frame so that the axial rotation of the fork arm induces a change in the camber angle of the rear wheel as the fork arm rotates in the left and right directions.

상기 롤커넥터는 후방 끝단에 제1베벨기어가 형성된 롤샤프트와 결합되며, 상기 토우커넥터에는 차체프레임을 상측으로 관통하여 제1베벨기어와 치합하는 제2베벨기어가 형성되고, 상기 캠버커넥터에는 절곡 형성된 토우커넥터의 후방 끝단을 관통하며 차체프레임의 끝단에 형성된 가이드기어와 치합하는 제3베벨기어가 형성된 것을 특징으로 한다.The roll connector is coupled to a roll shaft having a first bevel gear formed at a rear end thereof, and the tow connector is formed with a second bevel gear penetrating the upper body frame to be engaged with the first bevel gear, and the camber connector is bent. A third bevel gear is formed through the rear end of the formed toe connector and engaged with the guide gear formed at the end of the body frame.

이하, 도면을 참조하여 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 삼륜차량의 후륜서스펜션을 더욱 상세히 설명한다.Hereinafter, a rear wheel suspension of a three-wheeled vehicle according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

도 2 와 도 3 을 참조하면, 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 차체프레임(10)은 소정의 넓이를 갖는 구조로서 전방측에는 양측으로 두 개의 전륜들(2a, 2b)이 장착된다. 각각의 전륜(2a, 2b)은 차량의 선회에 따라 상하로 회동하는 로워암(3)을 통해 차체프레임(10)에 장착된다.2 and 3, the vehicle body frame 10 according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention has a predetermined width, and two front wheels 2a and 2b are mounted on both sides at the front side thereof. Each of the front wheels 2a and 2b is mounted to the body frame 10 through a lower arm 3 which rotates up and down in accordance with the turning of the vehicle.

그리고, 각각의 로워암(3)은 드롭링크(21)를 통하여 롤링크(20)와 연결된다. 상기 롤링크(20)는 "S" 형으로 절곡된 모양을 갖는 바(bar)이며 차체프레임(10)에 부설된 마운트부재(12)를 회전축으로 비틀릴 수 있도록 장착된다. 즉, 마운트부재(12)에 장착되어 드롭링크(21)를 통해 힘이 전달된 롤링크(20)는, 드롭링크(21)가 결합된 일측 끝단이 하강하면 타측 끝단은 상승하고 드롭링크(21)가 결합된 일측 끝단이 상승하면 타측 끝단은 하강하도록 비틀림 운동을 한다. 상기 드롭링크(21)와 로워암(20)은 볼조인트(ball joint) 결합방식으로 연결된다.Each lower arm 3 is connected to the roll link 20 through the drop link 21. The roll link 20 is a bar having a shape bent in an “S” shape and is mounted to be able to twist the mounting member 12 attached to the body frame 10 with a rotation shaft. That is, the roll link 20 mounted on the mount member 12 and the force transmitted through the drop link 21 is lowered when one end coupled to the drop link 21 descends and the other end is raised and the drop link 21 is lowered. When one end is combined with), the other end is twisted to descend. The drop link 21 and the lower arm 20 are connected by a ball joint coupling method.

양측에서 서로 대향하여 배치된 롤링크들(20)의 끝단은 롤커넥터(30)로 연결된다. 상기 롤커넥터(30)는 원통형 모양을 갖되 차체프레임(10)의 길이방향을 따라 회전하도록(전후방향으로 축 회전하도록) 배치된다. 그리고, 상기 롤커넥터(30)는 롤링크들(20)의 양측 각 끝단들이 연결되도록 링크바(31)가 결합된다. 따라서, 롤링크들(20)의 비틀림에 따서 상기 롤커넥터(30)는 축 회전을 하게 된다.Ends of the roll links 20 disposed to face each other on both sides are connected to the roll connector 30. The roll connector 30 has a cylindrical shape but is arranged to rotate along the longitudinal direction of the vehicle body frame 10 (to axially rotate in the front and rear directions). In addition, the roll connector 30 is coupled to the link bar 31 so that both ends of the roll links 20 are connected to each other. Therefore, the roll connector 30 is axially rotated according to the twisting of the roll links 20.

아울러, 상기 롤커넥터(30)의 후방측으로는 롤샤프트(50)가 결합된다.In addition, the roll shaft 50 is coupled to the rear side of the roll connector 30.

상기 롤샤프트(50)와 롤커넥터(30)는 회전력의 전달을 위해 세레이션(serration) 구조로 연결된다. 즉, 롤샤프트(50)의 일측 끝단에는 길이방향으로 돌출된 기어치들(gear teeth)이 둘레를 따라 배치되며, 롤커넥터(30)에는 상기 기어치들이 끼워져 맞물릴 수 있는 끼움홀(32)이 형성된다. 그리고, 상기 롤샤프트(50)의 타측 끝단에는 후륜(1)과 결합된 너클조립체로 회전력을 전달하도록 제1베벨기어(51)가 장착된다.The roll shaft 50 and the roll connector 30 are connected in a serration structure to transmit rotational force. That is, gear teeth protruding in the longitudinal direction are disposed at one end of the roll shaft 50 along the circumference, and a fitting hole 32 into which the gear teeth are fitted can be fitted into the roll connector 30. Is formed. In addition, a first bevel gear 51 is mounted at the other end of the roll shaft 50 so as to transmit rotational force to the knuckle assembly coupled to the rear wheel 1.
