Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a coupled torsion beam axle suspension (Coupled Torsion Beam Axle Suspension), in particular a high rigidity-type bearing is provided in the coupling portion of the vehicle body is given a lateral force toe-induced by the free side rotation, The present invention relates to a coupled torsion beam axle suspension device that can stably secure vehicle performance because a change in wheel bump amount does not occur according to the number of occupants of a vehicle rear seat.
In general, a coupled torsion beam axle suspension (CTBA) has a torsion beam and a trailing arm welded to both sides of the torsion beam as a basic configuration, and the trailing arm is mounted for fastening to a vehicle body. The rubber bush is provided forward and the bracket assembly for mounting the spindle and damper / spring is joined rearward.
The CTBA has a long link length, a low number of rubber bushes, and is advantageous in terms of weight and material cost compared to strut-type suspension or double wishbone-type suspension due to the simplification of the structure.
In particular, the CTBA has a low level of friction and hysteresis in suspension strokes, making it easy to create a smooth ride with a high level, and excellent camber characteristics to secure a firm grip on the rear wheels. It has the advantage of having a fairly high performance potential.
However, the CTBA has a structural feature in which the instantaneous rotation center of the CTBA is located in front of the torsion beam.
Due to this structural feature, the vehicle to which the CTBA is applied generates a counterclockwise moment due to the action of the lateral force applied to the wheel, and thus the counterclockwise rotation is inevitably generated in the CTBA.
Counter-clockwise rotation of the CTBA causes toe-out on the wheel, and toe-out causes oversteer, unlike toe-in. This can only be reduced.
Typically, toe-out occurs frequently when the vehicle turns to generate a bump of the wheel, and also during vehicle braking where the front and rear braking force is applied to the wheel.
As a result, the CTBA requires various structural changes or improvements to guide the wheel to the toe-in when the vehicle is turning or when the vehicle is braked.
For example, the mounting angle of the mounting rubber bush that mounts the trailing arm to the vehicle body is changed or the structure of the mounting rubber bush such as the Toe-Correction Bush is changed. It can be located behind the wheel center.
Therefore, even when a lateral force is applied to the wheel, the CTBA generates a lateral moment to induce lateral force toe-in.
In the CTBA as described above, the induction of the lateral force toe-in against the lateral force can be induced by a simple design change of the mounting rubber bush.
However, if the lateral toe-in induction of the CTBA is implemented only through the design change of the mounting rubber bush, there is a limitation that the lateral toe-out phenomenon is reduced to some extent and cannot be induced to the actual lateral toe-in. .
The patent document shows an example of a CTBA that induces lateral force toe-in without applying a mounting angle change of a mounting rubber bush or a toe-correction bush.
To this end, the CTBA of the patent document is provided with a toe control link (Toe-Control Link), the toe control link is a link to create a rotation axis of the instant center, and the rubber bush mounted on one side of the link to the vehicle body And another rubber bush provided on the other side of the link and mounted to the trailing arm to which the torsion beam is connected.
Through this, in the CTBA of the patent document changes the behavior of the link due to the up and down rotation of the rubber bush mounted on the vehicle body during bumping of the wheel, the rotational axis of the instantaneous center generated by the link acts on the wheel By tilting under the influence of the distance from the wheel is farther away.
As described above, an increase in the distance between the rotational axis of the instantaneous center and the wheel generated by the link may increase the moment arm, thereby reducing the lateral stiffness of the vehicle.
Therefore, the patent document has an advantage that the steering stability of the vehicle, which was insufficiently made only by changing the mounting angle or the structural change of the mounting rubber bush, can be further improved.
However, the CTBA of the patent document has a limitation that the steering stability of the vehicle is not kept constant because the change in the behavior of the link to generate the instantaneous rotation axis according to the bump amount of the wheel.
Particularly, the biggest factor that changes the bump amount of the wheel under the same conditions is the number of occupants in the rear of the vehicle, and the wheel bump amount is greatly changed when a large number of passengers are occupied and when there are no passengers. This tends to be different, which makes it difficult to secure stable and consistent vehicle performance.
Accordingly, the present invention in view of the above point is applied to a high rigid bearing which is freely rotated in the left and right directions to the vehicle body coupling structure coupled to the vehicle body without being coupled to the trailing arm, so that bumps are generated on the wheel and the lateral force is increased. Even if it is applied, the lateral force toe-in can greatly improve the steering stability of the vehicle.In particular, the coupled torsion beam axle suspension system can be secured at all times by eliminating the wheel bump variation according to the number of occupants in the rear of the vehicle. The purpose is to provide.
Coupled torsion beam axle suspension of the present invention for achieving the above object is coupled to the trailing arm, the wheel center of the left and right wheels is the reference of the behavior due to bump (Bump);
Coupling the opposite part not coupled to the trailing arm to the vehicle body such that a link axis of rotation is formed which is formed at the rear of the wheel center at the moment of turning the vehicle;
When bumping one of the left and right wheels, rotation occurs at the engaging portion of the vehicle body due to the bump, and the engaging portion of the trailing arm is also rotated by the rotation to prevent the change of the angle of the link rotation shaft;
Tow controller is characterized in that it is included.
The tow controller includes a mounting bush having a rubber mass coupled to the trailing arm, and a mounting link having a bearing coupled to the vehicle body at an opposite portion not coupled to the trailing arm to which the mounting bush is coupled.
The mounting bush is inserted into the trailing arm, and the mounting link is coupled to surround the trailing arm into which the mounting bush is inserted.
The mounting link includes a connecting bracket surrounding the bearing and a mounting bracket extending to the connecting bracket and coupled to the trailing arm to which the mounting bush is coupled.
The bearing is a position where the coupling position of the vehicle body is further outward of the vehicle compared to the coupling position of the trailing arm coupled with the mounting bracket, and the coupling position of the bearing and the vehicle body is an inclination angle of the connecting bracket and the mounting bracket. Is formed.
