Definitions

  • This invention relates to a springing arrangement for wheels journalled on swinging halfaxles, more particularly for motor vehicles, with the employment of torsion spring means hav-' L ing its axis of rotation lying outside the theoretical axis of oscillation of the half axles.
  • the object of the invention is to avoid these disadvantages in such a manner that the torsion springs can be disposed without regard in each case to the theoretical axis of oscillation of the wheels in the main directions of the vehicle, which naturally are governed by the kind of construction of the vehicle frame.
  • the new feature of the invention consists in a construction in which the springs are connected through the intermediation of a universal joint with the swinging struts of the half axles.
  • the result of this construction is that the returning moments which are produced by the torsion of the springs are automatically resolved into part moments, of which in each case one opposes the swinging motion of the wheels in the correct sense, while the others remain as internal moments without influence on the wheel motion.
  • the guiding of the wheels with respect to the frame which is predeterminedby the journalling ermany February 27, 1933 of the axle tubes in conjunction with that of the swinging struts.
  • This springing arrangement makes it possible to dispose the torsion springs parallel or perpendicular to the longitudinal frame members, so that the springs can be designed a suitable length, the bearing and abutment points can be made conveniently accessible, and the reaction moments of the springs can be transmitted in a perfect manner to the main frame members which are rigid as regards torsion.
  • the arrangement is preferably made such that the angle between the theoretical axis of oscillation of the wheels and the torsional axis of the springs is as small as possible, so as to keep the effective partial moment acting on the springs as large as possible with respect to the ineffective partial moments acting on the joint surfaces.
  • a further feature of the invention consists in the fact that the free axes of rotation of the universal joint are perpendicular to the torsional axis of the spring.
  • the torques reaching the joint will in this arrangement take the shortest path, that is to say, the transmission of power from the torsion spring to the swinging strut or vice versa will stress the parts of the joint in a clearly and accurately asc'ertainable manner, so that these parts can be designed so as to be suitably safe.
  • a further feature of the invention consists in this, that the bearing journal supporting the movable end of the spring is connected to the universal joint with freedom of motion in two directions.
  • Fig. 1 shows a fragmentary plan view of the
  • Fig 4 a fragmentary plan view of the rear part of a vehicle embodying a second constructional form of the invention
  • Fig. 7 is a figure, partly in cross-section, of the device shown in Fig. 5 taken at right angle to the section of Fig. 5, and
  • Fig. 8 shows a further modification.
  • axle tubes 2, 2, on which the wheels I, 'l' are journaled in a known manner are guided on the axle casing 3 in suitable means shown as spherical shells secured by covers 3a, 3a.
  • the axle casing 3 is connected by means such as the tubular extension 317 in which the pinion shaft is journalled, to the transverse member 1b of the frame, which latter includes two parallel longitudinal members la, la.
  • the axle tubes 2, 2 are further supported in a known manner by swinging struts 2a., 2a.
  • the springing is effected by two spring bars 8, 8' which are disposed at substantiallyright angles to the longitudinal central plane of the vehicle between the longitudinal frame members la, la.
  • the end of the spring 8, which is capable of turning, is connected by means such as the fluted profile I8 to a hollow bearing journal 16.
  • the bearing journal I6 is guided by means of two bearing bushes l9, IS in a casing 24 and may be secured against longitudinal displacement by a nut H.
  • the rigidly fixed end of the spring is shown held by a fluted profile in an eye i la which may be formed on the oppositely located casing 24 and is somewhat displaced out of the shortest connecting line between the two casings 24, 24', that is to say is disposed eccentrically with respect to the torsional axis B of the spring bars 8, 8'.
  • is firmly connected to the longitudinal frame member 1a. and, if desired, through the interposition of layers of any suitable yielding material shown at 41.
  • the swinging strut 2a drives the bearing journal 16 through a suitable universal joint.
  • the latter is preferably composed of a cross-piece 36 which is in pivotal connection with the forked ends 33 and 38 of the bearing journal l6 and of the swinging strut 2a.
  • the cross-piece 36 In the forked end 33 of the bearing journal Hi the cross-piece 36 is pivotally connected by means of a pin 34 which is journailed in two bushes 35, 35' and is secured by a. nut 31.
  • the cross-piece 36 is pivotally connected by means of two pins 40, 40 which are capable of turning in corresponding bushes 39, 39' and are constructed as screws with heads.
  • the axes C, D of these pins are at right angles to one another in accordance with the cross-piece 36 and are furthermore perpendicular to the torsional axis B of the spring bars 6 corresponding to the beari journal I6.
  • the universal joint is enclosed in a sheet metal cover 32 which is connected to the longitudinal member Ia of the frame. While this universal joint has been found extremely advantageous in the present invention, obviously other and well known forms of such a joint can be used in its place.
  • axle tubes 2, 2' are also preferably guided in spherical shells on the axle casing 3,
  • axle casing 3 can be flanged directly to the end of a vehicle frame which may be in the form of a tubular longitudinal central member I.
  • the axle tubes 2, 2' are additionally supported by swinging struts 2a, 2a which extend obliquely forwards and inwards.
  • the spring bars 8, 8 lie parallel to the longitudinal central plane of the vehicle at either side of the longitudinal central member I.
  • the one end of the spring bar 8, which is capable of turning, extends through the hollow bearing journal [6 in the longitudinal direction and is rigidly connected to the latter by a fluted profile Hi.
  • the bearing journal I6 is journalled by means of two bushes l9, l9 so as to be capable of turning in a casing 24.
  • the casing 24 is preferably connected by flange-like extensions Ilia to the flangelike extensions 10a of the oppositely disposed casing 24', which embrace the longitudinal central member I with interposed yielding packing members 41, if desired.
  • the casing 24 is secured against sliding and turning on the longitudinal central member I by suitable means such as a tooth or key 46 which projects into the interior of the longitudinal central member I.
  • suitable means such as a tooth or key 46 which projects into the interior of the longitudinal central member I.
  • the forward immovable end of the spring bar 8 is held by means of a fluted profile in the eye ll of a shackle H) which may be connected in a similar manner as the casing 24 to the longitudinal central member 'I.
  • the rear end of the bearing journal I6 is widened to form a spherical flange 4
  • the bolt 42 rests in a joint member 43 of bearing material and rests in a recess in the box-like end 44 of the swinging strut 20.
  • the bolt 42 and the joint member 43 have a spherical profile corresponding directly to the spherical surface of the fiange 4
  • the universal joint is maintained with freedom of motion in two directions by a cover 45 which is connected to the box-like end 44 of the swinging strut and is thereby completely closed to the outside.
  • the longitudinal central member 1 may be slightly recessed opposite the universal joint.
  • the rotary motion of the axle tube 2 and of the swinging strut 2a is definitely determined by the theoretical axis of oscillation A which extends through the pivotal points C, M.
  • the motion of the box-like end 44 of the swinging strut 2a is thus resolved into three rotary motions about the axes B, C, D of the universal joint, which are perpendicular to one another, of which only the first one about the axis 3, which releases a rotary motion of the toggle 42 and of the journal l6 and consequently a torsional stressing of the spring bar 8, produces the returning moment, while the others act only as equalizing motions.
  • the universal joint centres itself with respect to the frame so that the position of its centre 0 in which the axes B, C, D intersect one another is not changed when the wheel I swings.
  • the power is transmitted from the spring bar 8 directly to the toggle 42 and from the-latter through the joint member 43 directly to the swinging strut 2a..
  • the abutment Ila for the second spring 6 be provided, there is in addition to the constructional simplicity, the advantage that the frictional moment of the bearing journal l6 of one spring 8 partly balances the reactionmoment of the other spring 8'.
  • the transverse member lb can under this assumption be brought as close as possible to the casings 24, 24' and transmits as a rigid member the resultant moment of one longitudinal member In. to the other longitudinal member Ia.
  • the yielding manner of mounting the casings 24, 24' and the abutments H, II on' the frame has the purpose of assisting in damping noise. It is for instance known to bed the axle casing 3 in cushions of yielding material with the object of keeping the vibrations of the wheel, acting through the axle tube on the axle casing, away from the frame.
  • the yielding manner of mounting the pivotal pins carrying the universal joint acts in the sameway, more particularly as the swinging strut and not the axle tube has to transmit the reaction forces of the sprung wheel to the frame.
  • the swinging axle tubes are connected to the torsion springs by means of universal joints.
  • the road wheel 60 is assumed to be power driven, in which event the numeral 6
  • the swinging axles 62 as by means of journals 63 and 64 attached thereto.
  • Said journals are shown as having bearings within lugs 65 and 66 attached to said differential housing or other support.

  • the other end of said spring means is shown as connected to the journal 64 through a universal joint 69 of any usual or suitable construction.
  • the axis of oscillation of the axle lies at an angle to the axis of the rotary spring meanss If the wheel 66 is to be power driven, the power may be delivered thereto by a stub shaft 16 driving the usual driving axle ll through a universal joint 12 of usual construction.
  • the invention is not limited to the three constructional examples. According to the particu lar construction of the frame other excellent posiitions of the torsion springs can be adopted, which can be coupled over a universal joint with the above-described positions of the swinging struts.
  • the torsion rods illustrated may be replaced by any known type of rotary springs such as a torsion tube, helical spring, etc., or a combination of such springs which act under a rotary turning force.
