- the distance X in the vehicle vertical direction cannot be ensured between the wheel support portion 13b and the arm connecting portion 13a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 4, even if the wheel 1 moves up and down, no reaction force acts on the arm connecting portion 13a of the third link 13, and only a reaction force E directed downward in the vehicle occurs at the shock absorber connecting portion 13c.

Abstract
Description
そのため、インホイールモータユニットの配置スペースを確保するためには、ショックアブソーバの下端部と下側サスペンションアームとの連結位置を、車輪のホイルセンタから離間させ、車体側に配置する必要がある。しかしながら、これにより、ショックアブソーバのレバー比が低下してしまうという問題が生じてしまう。
しかも、下側サスペンションアームは、通常車体側の端部が車輪側の端部よりも車両上方に配置されている。そのため、ショックアブソーバの下端部と下側サスペンションアームとの連結位置を車体側に配置するほど、ショックアブソーバの下端部が車両上方に配置されることになる。そのため、ショックアブソーバの全長を維持すれば、ショックアブソーバの上端が車両上方に突出するし、車両上方への突出を抑えるためにショックアブソーバの全長を短縮すればストローク不足が生じるという問題が発生してしまう。
前記サスペンションアームは、車体に対して揺動可能に支持される。
前記リンク部材は、前記サスペンションアームに前記車輪を揺動可能に連結すると共に、前記ショックアブソーバの下端部に連結するショックアブソーバ連結部を有する。
そして、前記ショックアブソーバ連結部を、前記インホイールモータユニットの上端部よりも車両下方位置に配置する。
すなわち、インホイールモータユニットの配置スペースを確保するため、ショックアブソーバの下端部を、車輪のホイルセンタから離間させて車体側に配置した場合であっても、レバー比をほぼ1とすることができる。そのため、ショックアブソーバのレバー比を損なうことを防止できる。
さらに、リンク部材とショックアブソーバの下端部との連結位置であるショックアブソーバ連結部が、インホイールモータユニットの上端部よりも車両下方位置に配置される。これにより、ショックアブソーバの支持位置を比較的低い位置に設定することができる。そのため、ショックアブソーバの上端位置を高くしなくても、ショックアブソーバの全長を大きくすることができ、必要なストロークを確保することができる。
この結果、ショックアブソーバの上端部を高い位置に設定することなく、ショックアブソーバのレバー比及びストロークを確保することができる。
まず、構成を説明する。
実施例1におけるインホイールモータ駆動車輪に搭載されたサスペンション装置(インホイールモータ駆動車輪用サスペンション装置)の構成を、「全体の構成」、「サスペンション構造部材の構成」、「サードリンクの構成」に分けて説明する。
図1は、実施例1のサスペンション装置が適用されたインホイールモータ駆動車輪を車両前方から見たときの正面図である。図2は、実施例1のサスペンション装置が適用されたインホイールモータ駆動車輪を車両上方から見たときの平面図である。なお、図1及び図2は、車輪が転舵していない直進状態を示す。以下、図1及び図2に基づき、実施例1のサスペンション装置の全体構成を説明する。
前記上側ブラケット3aは、先端部にキングピン回転部6aが形成され、このキングピン回転部6aは、サスペンション構造部材10によって転舵方向(キングピン軸P回り)に回動可能に支持されている。前記下側ブラケット3bは、先端部にロアアーム支持部6bが形成され、このロアアーム支持部6bは、サスペンション構造部材10によって転舵方向(キングピン軸P回り)に回動可能であって、且つ、車両上下方向に揺動可能に支持されている。前記転舵ブラケット3cは、先端部にロッド連結部6c(図2参照)が形成され、このロッド連結部6cは、図外のステアリングホイルにより操作可能なラックアンドピニオン5から延びるタイロッド5Aの先端部が取り付けられている。これにより、ドライバーがステアリングホイルを回転させると、ナックル3がキングピン回転部6aとロアアーム支持部6bとを結んだ線上に位置するキングピン軸P回りに回転し、車輪1が転舵される。
すなわち、ステアリングホイルの回転がラックアンドピニオン5によって車幅方向のストロークに変換される。これにより、タイロッド5Aが車幅方向に出没する。そして、タイロッド5Aが車幅方向外側(図2において右側)に突出したときには、ナックル3の前端部が車幅方向外側に向かって押し出され、車輪1が左方向に転舵される。また、タイロッド5Aが車幅方向内側(図2において左側)に引き込まれたときには、ナックル3の前端部が車幅方向内側に向かって引っ張られ、車輪1が右方向に転舵される。
なお、実施例1では、ショックアブソーバ15は、スプリング部16aと、ダンパー16bが同軸配置されて一体化した、いわゆるコイルオーバーである。このショックアブソーバ15は、上端部15bが車体Sに固定されている。
前記サスペンション構造部材10は、図1に示すように、アッパーサスペンションアーム11(サスペンションアーム)と、ロアサスペンションアーム12と、サードリンク13(リンク部材)と、を備えている。
前記前側アッパーアーム11a及び前記後側アッパーアーム11bは、それぞれ車幅方向に延在され、車体側端部11dが車体Sに対して上下方向及び前後方向に揺動可能に支持されている。
前記連結アッパーアーム11cは、車両前後方向に延在され、前側アッパーアーム11aの車輪側端部11eと、サードリンク13の後述するアーム連結部13aと、後側アッパーアーム11bの車輪側端部11eを、車両前方から順に貫通している(図2参照)。このとき、連結アッパーアーム11cと前側アッパーアーム11aの間、連結アッパーアーム11cとサードリンク13の間、連結アッパーアーム11cと後側アッパーアーム11bの間、のそれぞれには図示しないベアリングが介在されている。そして、連結アッパーアーム11cに対し、前側アッパーアーム11a、サードリンク13、後側アッパーアーム11bは、それぞれ上下方向に揺動可能に連結されている。
前記サードリンク13は、図1に示すように、車輪1とアッパーサスペンションアーム11を連結すると共に、車輪1とショックアブソーバ15を連結するリンク部材である。
そして、このサードリンク13は、図1に示すように、アーム連結部13aと、車輪支持部13bと、ショックアブソーバ連結部13cと、を有している。
さらに、この車輪支持部13bは、車幅方向外側に突出し、ショックアブソーバ連結部13cよりも車両外側位置に配置されると共に、リム1c及びホイールディスク1dによって囲まれる車輪1のホイール内側領域Rの内側に入り込んでいる(図2参照)。
さらに、このショックアブソーバ連結部13cは、図1に示すように、インホイールモータユニット7の上端8a(上端部)よりも車両下方位置に配置されている。
また、実施例1では、ショックアブソーバ15とインホイールモータユニット7との干渉を避けるため、図2に示すように、ショックアブソーバ連結部13cをインホイールモータユニット7の後端面8b(後端部)よりも車両後方位置に配置している。
ここで、「上端面8a」とは、インホイールモータユニット7のユニットケース7aの車両上方に臨む上面であり、ユニットケース7aのうち最も車両上方に位置する部分である。また、「後端面8b」とは、インホイールモータユニット7のユニットケース7aの車両後方に臨む後面であり、ユニットケース7aのうち最も車両後方に位置する部分である。なお、ユニットケース7aは、不図示の電動モータ(回転電機)と減速機(変速機)を内蔵するほぼ矩形の筐体である。
実施例1のサスペンション装置では、サードリンク13を介して、車輪1に対し、アッパーサスペンションアーム11と、ショックアブソーバ15を連結している。また、このサードリンク13は、車輪支持部13bにおいて、ナックル3の上側ブラケット3aに支持されている。このとき、車輪支持部13bは、キングピン回転部6aに点支持されており、サードリンク13とナックル3は、キングピン軸P回りに互いに相対回転可能となっている。
実施例1のサスペンション装置では、図1に示すように、サードリンク13のショックアブソーバ連結部13cが、インホイールモータユニット7の上端面8aよりも車両下方位置に配置されている。すなわち、ショックアブソーバ連結部13cに連結したショックアブソーバ15の下端部15aと、インホイールモータユニット7とは、車両上下方向にオーバーラップ(重複)している。
図3は、実施例1のサスペンション装置においてサードリンクに作用する反力を示した説明図である。図4は、比較例のサスペンション装置においてサードリンクに作用する反力を示した説明図である。以下、図3及び図4に基づき、サードリンク反力受け作用について説明する。
つまり、図3に示すように、車輪支持部13bとアーム連結部13aとの間に、車両上下方向の距離Xを確保し、車輪支持部13bとショックアブソーバ連結部13cとの間に、車幅方向の距離Yを確保している。
そのため、図4に示すように、車輪1が上下動しても、サードリンク13のアーム連結部13aには反力が作用せず、ショックアブソーバ連結部13cにおいてのみ車両下方に向かう反力Eが作用する。
これにより、反力Eを相殺することができず、車輪支持部13bにかかるキングピン軸P回りの曲げモーメントが過大になってしまう。このため、ナックル3に形成されるキングピン回転部6aにかかる負担が大きくなるので、このキングピン回転部6aを大きく形成する必要が生じる。この結果、インホイールモータユニット7の設置に利用できるスペースが縮小してしまうという問題が生じる。
実施例1のインホイールモータ駆動車輪用サスペンション装置にあっては、下記に列挙する効果を得ることができる。
前記サスペンション構造部材10は、車体Sに対して揺動可能に支持されるサスペンションアーム(アッパーサスペンションアーム11)と、
前記サスペンションアーム(アッパーサスペンションアーム11)に前記車輪1を揺動可能に連結すると共に、前記ショックアブソーバ15の下端部15aに連結するショックアブソーバ連結部13cを有するリンク部材(サードリンク13)と、
を備え、
前記ショックアブソーバ連結部13cを、前記インホイールモータユニット7の上端部(上端面8a)よりも車両下方位置に配置する構成とした。
これにより、ショックアブソーバ15の上端部15bを高い位置に設定することなく、ショックアブソーバ15のレバー比及びストロークを確保することができる。
前記リンク部材(サードリンク13)は、前記サスペンションアーム(アッパーサスペンションアーム11)を上下方向に揺動可能に連結するアーム連結部13aと、前記車輪1を転舵方向に揺動可能に支持する車輪支持部13bと、を有し、
前記車輪支持部13bを、前記ショックアブソーバ連結部13cよりも車幅方向外側位置であって、前記アーム連結部13aよりも車両下方位置に配置する構成とした。
これにより、車輪支持部13bに作用する曲げモーメントを低減し、インホイールモータユニット7の設置スペースの拡大を図ることができる。
実施例2は、サードリンクの車輪支持部及びショックアブソーバ連結部の配置を、実施例1とは異なる構成とした例である。
ここで、「車体側端面8c」とは、インホイールモータユニット7のユニットケース7aの車体Sに臨む側面であり、ユニットケース7aのうち最も車体Sに近接した部分である。
そのため、インホイールモータユニット7の振れ回り時における、ショックアブソーバ連結部23cとインホイールモータユニット7との干渉を防止することができる。
そしてこれにより、ショックアブソーバ15の上端部15bを高い位置に設定することなく、インホイールモータユニット7のモータ体積を径方向に増大することができる。
実施例2のインホイールモータ駆動車輪用サスペンション装置にあっては、下記に列挙する効果を得ることができる。
前記リンク部材(サードリンク23)は、前記車輪1を転舵方向に揺動可能に支持する車輪支持部23bを有し、
前記車輪支持部23bを、前記リム1c及び前記ホイールディスク1dで囲まれるホイール内側領域Rから外れた位置に配置する構成とした。
これにより、車輪支持部23bをインホイールモータユニット7が配置されるホイール内側領域Rの外側に配置することができ、モータ体積の増大を図ることができる。
これにより、ショックアブソーバ連結部23cをインホイールモータユニット7の振れ回りに干渉しない位置に配置でき、モータ体積を径方向に増大することができる。
実施例3は、インホイールモータユニットの構成と、サードリンクの車輪支持部及びショックアブソーバ連結部の配置を、実施例1又は実施例2とは異なる構成とした例である。
つまり、車輪支持部33bは、車両前後方向において、インホイールモータユニット7´の後端面8bとショックアブソーバ連結部33cとの間に配置される。また、この車輪支持部33bは、車幅方向において、ホイールディスク1dの車体側開放面(図8において一点鎖線Aで示す)とショックアブソーバ連結部33cの間の位置に配置される。
すなわち、車両前方側から車両後方に向けて、電動モータ71のモータ出力軸71a、車輪支持部33b、ショックアブソーバ連結部33cの順に並ぶこととなる。
なお、「後端面8bよりも車両後方位置」とは、車輪1の転舵に伴ってインホイールモータユニット7´が振れ回った状態でも、後端面8bよりも車両後方位置に配置されることを指す。
これに対し、後端面8bよりも車両後方位置となるようにショックアブソーバ連結部33cを配置しているので、このショックアブソーバ連結部33cをインホイールモータユニット7´の上端面8aよりも車両下方位置に配置しても、車輪支持部33b回りにインホイールモータユニット7´が振れ回ったときにユニットケース7aと干渉することはない。
実施例3のインホイールモータ駆動車輪用サスペンション装置にあっては、下記に列挙する効果を得ることができる。
これにより、インホイールモータユニット7´との車軸Q方向の干渉を考慮することなくショックアブソーバ連結部33cを低い位置に配置することができ、インホイールモータユニット7´のモータ体積を軸方向に増大することができる。
前記リンク部材(サードリンク33)は、前記車輪1を転舵方向に揺動可能に支持する車輪支持部33bを有し、
前記車輪支持部33bを、前記ショックアブソーバ連結部33cよりも車両前方位置、且つ、車幅方向外側位置に配置すると共に、前記回転電機(電動モータ71)の出力軸(モータ出力軸71a)よりも車両後方位置に配置する構成とした。
これにより、操安要件の観点から適切なキングピン軸Pのジオメトリとしつつ、モータ振れ回り空間の拡大を図ることができ、インホイールモータユニット7´のモータ体積を径方向に増大することができる。
実施例4は、サードリンクの車輪支持部及びショックアブソーバ連結部の配置を、実施例1から実施例3とは異なる構成とした例である。
すなわち、ショックアブソーバ連結部43cと車輪支持部43bとの間の車両前後方向寸法αが、車幅方向寸法(車両左右方向寸法)βよりも短くなっている。
実施例4のインホイールモータ駆動用サスペンション装置にあっては、下記に挙げる効果を得ることができる。
これにより、旋回時の車輪1とショックアブソーバ15との干渉を防止しつつ、インホイールモータユニット7´の振れ回り可能空間を最大限確保でき、モータ体積を径方向に増大することができる。
実施例5は、キングピン軸の配置を、実施例1~実施例4とは異なる構成にした例である。
また、「スクラブ半径」とは、車両を正面から見たとき(図12に示す状態)、キングピン軸Pが路面Gと交差する点から、タイヤ1aの接地中心までの距離である。なお、図12では、このスクラブ半径がゼロであるため、このスクラブ半径を点Oによって示す。
なお、「スクラブ半径をゼロにする」とは、厳密にゼロとなる状態だけでなく、無視できる程度の誤差を含む。
すなわち、インホイールモータユニット7によって車輪1に付与される駆動力(制動力)Fは、図13Aに示すタイヤ1aの接地点Wに入力する。一方、キングピン軸P回りに発生するトルクは、接地点入力駆動力(接地点入力制動力)とスクラブ半径との積で求められる。そのため、スクラブ半径をゼロにすれば、キングピン軸P回りに発生するトルクは概ねゼロになる。
しかしながら、左右の車輪1間において、走行中に発生する左右の車輪1の輪荷重変動、左右独立のトラクション制御、アンチロックブレーキ制御、ヨーモーメント制御等の影響により、駆動力(制動力)差は多くの場面で存在する。そして、この駆動力(制動力)左右差によって、左右のキングピン軸P回りのトルクが異なり、ステアリングラック軸力への外乱やトルクステアが発生してしまう。そのため、制駆動力条件によってはステアリングラック軸力への外乱等が大きくなってしまうという問題が生じていた。
実施例5のインホイールモータ駆動車輪用サスペンション装置にあっては、下記に挙げる効果を得ることができる。
前記車輪支持部53bを、前記車輪1の車軸Qよりも車両上方位置に配置すると共に、前記車輪支持部53b、及び、前記ロアサスペンションアーム12によって前記車輪1を支持する支持位置(ロアアーム支持部)6bによって設定されるキングピン軸Pを、スクラブ半径Oがゼロとなる位置に配置する構成とした。
これにより、キングピン軸P回りに発生するトルクを概ねゼロにすることができ、左右の車輪1に付与される制駆動力に差が生じた際のトルクステア等を抑制することができる。
ここで、後輪駆動のインホイールモータ駆動車において、ショックアブソーバの下端位置を路面から離れた高い位置に設定してしまうと、その分、ショックアブソーバの上端が車両後部に形成される荷室内に突出してしまい、荷室が狭くなるという問題が生じる。
これに対し、本発明のサスペンション装置を適用することで、荷室へのショックアブソーバの突出を防止しつつ、ショックアブソーバのストロークを確保することができる。
