The present invention relates to a knuckle of a vehicle, and more particularly to a knuckle of a vehicle in which a bushing for mounting or connecting other components to a knuckle body made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) is firmly assembled.
2. Description of the Related Art Generally, a steering apparatus of a vehicle is an apparatus for arbitrarily changing the traveling direction of a vehicle. The steering apparatus includes a steering handle, a steering shaft, a steering column, and the like for direct steering operation by the driver, A gear mechanism for reducing the rotation of the steering column to increase the operating force and for changing the direction of movement of the operating mechanism to transmit it to the link mechanism and a transmission mechanism for transmitting the operation of the gear mechanism to the wheels, And a link mechanism composed of a piterman arm, a drag arm, a knuckle, and a tie rod, etc. for proper support.
The knuckles have typically been made of steel such as chrome-molybdenum alloy steel through heat treatment and machining.
In recent years, as the problem of environmental pollution caused by vehicles has become an issue along with a demand for improvement of fuel efficiency of vehicles, the vehicle is seeking to reduce the weight of the vehicle. Light weight of the chassis components among the parts constituting the vehicle is also required to be reduced.
In response to the trend of light weight of such a vehicle, it has become necessary to manufacture a knuckle of a vehicle, which has been conventionally made of steel material, using a relatively new material that is relatively lighter than a steel material.
The present invention relates to a carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) which is relatively lighter than a steel material and has almost the same physical properties as a steel material in order to meet the above-mentioned trend of light weight of a vehicle. The knuckle body made of a carbon fiber reinforced plastic material is provided with the bushing so that the bushing and the knuckle body can be assembled with each other. The weight of the vehicle is reduced as the weight of the knuckle body is reduced, the fuel consumption and performance of the vehicle are improved, and the knock of the vehicle, which can reduce the environmental pollution caused by the exhaust gas of the vehicle, And the like.

Wherein the first bushing has an arc-shaped tool assembly groove and a circular assembly hole for mounting other components, and when the second bushing is fitted to the outer circumferential surface of the first bushing, An arc-shaped mounting groove may be formed at a predetermined portion of the second-type bushing matching with the hole.
The diameter of the large-diameter portion of the first bushing may be larger than the inner diameter of the inner tapered surface of the second bushing, and the outer diameter of the large-diameter portion of the third bushing may be larger than the inner diameter of the inner tapered surface of the first bushing.
Wherein the knuckle body is formed by combining two or more knuckle pieces formed of a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic material, the two or more knuckle pieces are combined, and the space formed inside the knuckle body is filled with a mixture of carbon fiber and epoxy resin Can be inserted and filled.
A first mounting flange for integrally extending a first mounting flange for mounting a brake caliper along one side of the knuckle body is formed integrally with the knuckle body at a position adjacent to one end of the first mounting flange at a right angle to the first mounting flange, And a second shaft protrusion for connecting the lower arm from the knuckle body in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the knuckle body at one side of the knuckle body Wherein a second mounting flange for mounting the strut assembly in a direction perpendicular to the knuckle body is formed to protrude from an opposite portion of the second shaft projection about the assembly hole of the knuckle body, The first mounting flange, the second mounting flange, the first shaft projection, and the second shaft projection each have The washing assembly hall, with formed can be inserted into a bushing coupled to a respective bushing assembly hall.
Wherein the first mounting flange, the second mounting flange, the first shaft projection, and the second shaft projection are formed with an assembly groove communicating with an assembly hole of each bushing, and each bushing is divided into an upper bushing and a lower bushing Wherein the upper bushing includes a lower flange extending radially outwardly to be inserted into the mounting groove to be engaged with the upper wall of the mounting groove and an upper flange extending radially outwardly to be seated and supported around the mounting hole The lower bushing includes an upper flange extending radially outwardly to be inserted into the mounting groove and seated on the lower floor of the mounting groove and a lower flange extending radially outwardly to be supported on the periphery of the mounting hole, . ≪ / RTI >
Wherein the first mounting flange, the second mounting flange, the first shaft projection, and the second shaft projection have an assembly hole communicating with an assembly hole of each bushing, the bushings being inserted into the assembly holes of the bushing, The upper bushing includes an upper flange extending radially outwardly to be seated and supported about the periphery of the assembly hole so that the lower bushing is seated and supported about the periphery of the assembly hole, And may include a lower flange extending radially outwardly.
As described above, according to the knuckle of the vehicle according to the embodiment of the present invention, the tie rod of the steering device, the lower arm and strut assembly of the suspension device, the brake of the braking device, A plurality of engagement flanges are formed on the bushing when the knuckle body is assembled with the bushing by forming a plurality of knuckle pieces on the knuckle body, When the bushing is inserted into and engaged with the assembly hole of the knuckle body, the bushing is firmly coupled to the knuckle body by the interaction between the plurality of engagement flanges and the assembly groove, It is possible to strengthen the bonding force to the body.
