- the upper ball joint 57 and more specifically at the center of rotation 57A of the upper ball joint 57 and the upper arm 51. Accordingly, the vehicle body load and the loaded load transmitted through the suspension cylinder 53 hardly transmit to the upper arm 51 and are transmitted to the tires 11 and 12 through the case 56 provided with the upper ball joint 57. For this reason, since the load is not transmitted to the upper arm 51 and the lower arm 52, the structures of the upper arm 51 and the lower arm 52 can be simplified.
- the drive shaft 18 is connected to the output shaft 43A of the electric motor 43 and the input shaft 14A of the final reduction gear 14 via a universal joint to absorb the deviation of the tires 11 and 12 with respect to the electric motor 43.

- the drive shaft 18 is drawn horizontally for convenience. Actually, however, the tip of the drive shaft 18 on the tire 11 side of the drive shaft 18 is not loaded as shown in FIG. 6. It is inclined at a crossing angle ⁇ 1 with respect to the horizontal so as to face downward. On the other hand, in the state where the body 30 is loaded to the maximum within the allowable load weight, the drive shaft 18 is inclined at the crossing angle ⁇ 2 with respect to the horizontal so that the tip of the drive shaft 18 on the tire 11 side faces upward.
- the crossing angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are preferably 2.5 to 3.5 °, and in this embodiment, both are approximately 3 °.
- Such crossover angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are set by adjusting the strength of the suspension cylinder 53 or by adjusting the distance between the connection bracket 54 to which the suspension cylinder 53 is connected and the suspension support portion 205.
- the inclination variation of the drive shaft 18 with respect to the horizontal can be reduced when there is no load and when there is a load, and torsional vibration of the drive shaft 18 during traveling can be suppressed.
- the crossing angle ⁇ 1 0 ° when there is no load and the drive shaft 18 is leveled
- the crossing angle ⁇ 2 approximately 6 ° with respect to the horizontal when the drive shaft 18 is fully loaded will be greatly inclined.
- the torsional vibration at the time increases and the durability decreases.
- the drive shaft 18 when the drive shaft 18 is largely inclined, the drive is driven according to the magnitudes of the crossing angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 even during constant speed traveling where the angular velocity ⁇ 1 of the output shaft 43A and the angular velocity ⁇ 3 of the input shaft 14A are maintained constant.
- a change occurs in the angular velocity ⁇ 2 of the shaft 18, and torsional vibration is generated.
- the occurrence of such torsional vibration is suppressed, durability can be improved, and an expensive constant velocity joint that can absorb a large inclination angle need not be used. Can be used without any problem.
- the cross angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2 are exaggerated larger than the actual size in order to facilitate understanding of the cross angles ⁇ 1 and ⁇ 2.

Description
また、オフロードダンプトラックにおいて、搬送能力向上を図るために全ての車輪を駆動輪とし、かつ操舵輪とすることも知られている(例えば、特許文献2,3)。
また、全輪駆動および全輪操舵を採用した特許文献2,3では、ダンプトラックの懸架装置により搬送能力を高めるといった思想はなく、懸架装置についての具体的な記載はない。
本発明によれば、アッパーアームに作用する積載荷重をより軽減でき、アッパーアームをより簡素化できる。
本発明によれば、サスペンションシリンダの上端は、上部に載置部を有した鉛直フレームに支持されるので、載置部を通して伝達される積載荷重をその直下に近い位置にあるサスペンションシリンダを介して車体フレームからタイヤ側へと伝達でき、車体フレームでの曲げモーメントも生じ難くできる。
本発明によれば、サスペンションシリンダの下端がアッパーアームに連結されることで、アッパーアームの下方には、サスペンションシリンダが存在しない所定の大きさの空間が形成される。そして、このアッパーアームの下方の空間を利用してドライブシャフトを通すことにより、ドライブシャフトを配置するにあたって懸架装置の構造が複雑になることもなく、ドライブシャフトを良好に配置できる。

以上に説明したダンプトラック1は、採掘された採掘物を積荷として積み込む積込場と、積荷を排出する排出場とを往復走行することになる。この際、排出場へ向かう往路にあっては、ボディ30の支承側、すなわち第2鉛直フレーム22側を後とし、第1鉛直フレーム21側を前として走行する。排出後に戻る復路にあっては、ダンプトラック1を切り返すことなく、第2鉛直フレーム22側を前とし、第1鉛直フレーム21側を後として走行する(シャトル走行)。
ただし、必要に応じて切り返しを行い、常時第1鉛直フレーム21側または第2鉛直フレーム22側を前にして走行してもよい。
