Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to a vehicle strut bearing assembly, and more particularly, to a vehicle strut bearing assembly that is easy to assemble regardless of the dimensions of a lower cap and ensures stable infiltration of foreign matter, .
Generally, a suspension system of an automobile connects an axle and a vehicle body to prevent a vehicle or a cargo from being damaged, thereby preventing a vibration or an impact which an axle receives from the road surface from being transmitted directly to the vehicle body when the vehicle is running .
Such suspension devices are variously classified according to the method of coupling with the vehicle body and the vibration control method. The front suspension device classified according to the type of the front axle supports the weight of the vehicle by connecting the vehicle body frame and the axle, And at the same time a part of the steering apparatus of the automobile is installed.
The front suspension system is divided into an axle suspension system and an independent suspension system. In the case of passenger cars, which emphasize ride comfort and maneuverability, independent suspension systems are used. In buses, trucks and commercial vehicles, axle suspension systems are frequently used.
Particularly, the front suspension devices of the independent suspension type include Wishbone type and Macpherson type. In the case of the Macpherson type, the structure is simple and the ride feeling is superior to that of the Wish type, It is the way it is used.
Such a McPherson type suspension device has no upper arm and instead has a structure in which the steering knuckle and the strut are integrally rotated when the lower end of the strut with the shock absorber incorporated is integrally connected to the lower arm through the steering knuckle, The upper portion of the strut is rotatably mounted relative to the vehicle body or the chassis via a strut bearing so as to be rotatable integrally with the steering knuckle.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing an air bag which is easy to assemble regardless of the dimensional change of the lower cap, The present invention is to provide a vehicle strut bearing assembly that maintains the stiffness.
To achieve these and other advantages and in accordance with the purpose of the present invention, as embodied and broadly described herein, a vehicle strut bearing assembly includes: an upper cap disposed on an upper portion of a vehicle in a height direction thereof and opened downward along a vehicle height; A lower cap mounted on a lower portion of the upper cap and relatively rotatably coupled to the upper cap while forming a bearing space; A strut bearing provided in the bearing space; And a seal member mounted on the lower cap to seal the bearing space, wherein the seal member is coupled to the upper end of the lower cap; And at least one lip which is mounted in a state of wrapping the outer side of the seal frame and closely contacted with the inner surface of the upper cap.
Wherein the seal frame comprises: an engaging portion surrounding an upper end peripheral surface of the lower cap; And a cover portion formed integrally with the upper end of the coupling portion and supported at the upper end of the lower cap.
The cover portion may be rounded from the outer side bent from the engaging portion.
The seal frame may form a gap spaced such that opposite ends of the seal frame are not in contact with each other.
The coupling portion may be formed as an inclined surface having both ends where the gap is formed, inclined along the height direction of the seal frame.
The seal frame is formed in a circular ring shape, and may be formed of a steel material having an elastic force.
A first lip which is brought into close contact with the upper cap and the lower cap such that the lip slides on one side of a lower inner circumferential surface of the upper cap; And a second lip which is formed at a position spaced apart from the first lip toward the strut bearing by a predetermined distance and which is in close contact with the inner surface of the upper cap so as to slide.
The lip may be integrally attached to the seal frame through injection molding.
The lip may be mounted in a wrapped state connecting the inner and outer circumferential surfaces of the lower end portion of the coupling portion to prevent direct contact between the lower cap and the lower end of the coupling portion.
The lip may be mounted while wrapping the inner peripheral edge of the cover portion.
Wherein the strut bearing comprises: an outer race disposed corresponding to the upper cap; An inner race disposed corresponding to the lower cap; And a rolling member ball disposed between the outer race and the inner race.
The lower cap may be mounted with a sub-sealing member to seal the gap between the upper cap and the upper sidewall relative to the vehicle height direction to prevent foreign matter from entering the bearing space.
The sub-sealing member includes a sub-sealing frame mounted on the upper inner circumferential surface of the lower cap; And a sub-lip coupled to an inner circumferential surface of the sub-sealing frame and closely contacted with an inner surface of the upper cap.
As described above, according to the vehicle strut bearing assembly according to the embodiment of the present invention, it is possible to apply common use regardless of the dimensional change of the lower cap and to improve the assemblability, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and shortening the assembling time have.
Further, even when a long time elapses in a state where the seal frame having an elastic force is mounted on the lower cap, a plurality of lips are provided, and a constant support load is maintained, thereby preventing foreign foreign matter from being inflowly prevented, At the same time, the sealing performance can be improved.
In addition, the overall durability of the strut bearing is improved by improving the sealing performance, and the service life thereof can be extended.
