Description

[0001] GEOMETRIC INDEPENDENT VARIABLE TYPE DOUBLE WISHBONE SUSPENSION SYSTEM [0002]

The present invention relates to a geometrically independent variable double wishbone suspension, and more particularly to a geometric independent variable double wishbone suspension capable of independently varying the geometry factor associated with a kingpin axis.

In general, a double wishbone suspension exists between a vehicle body and a wheel, and these two rigid bodies are connected to an upper arm and a lower arm to mitigate shock and vibration from the road surface during traveling, thereby improving ride comfort and running stability. Is supported by a spring, a shock absorber, and the like. In the other direction, various arms and rods are used to suitably balance high rigidity and flexibility so as to mechanically balance the relative motion between the vehicle body and the wheel.

Especially, the double wishbone suspension which is applied to a high performance vehicle or a racing vehicle is applied to a geometric variable suspension component in order to realize a handling characteristic suitable to driver's preference and driving condition, but has many limitations.

In other words, the conventional geometric variable suspension system mainly controls the initial toe or camber only by kinematics, so there is a restriction on the change of the kinematic or compliance characteristic that can be obtained by moving the king pin axis. In particular, double wishbone (in-wheel type) suspension, which is mainly applied to high-performance vehicles, has a fixed king pin axis.

In addition, since the conventional geometric variable suspension system adjusts the length of the suspension arm or fastens the hardware such as the cam bolt and the cam washer to the bracket having the eccentric hole in the body side mounting portion of the rock, Most can not be done.

For example, if the length of the rock is adjusted to change the Kingfin offset, it will be accompanied by a change in the undesirable geometry characteristics as the length of the rock changes.

FIGS. 1, 2, and 3 are conceptual diagrams for explaining problems caused by adjustment of a ground kingpin offset, a caster, and a cast trail through a general double wishbone suspension.

Referring to FIG. 1, in the conventional double wishbone suspension 100, in order to reduce the ground kinphin offset K while maintaining the other geometric characteristics and to reduce the moment around the king pin shaft 101 by the forward and backward forces, If the length of the camshaft 103 is reduced or the length of the lower arm 105 is increased, the characteristics of the camber C are changed and the angle of swinging of the ball joint 107 becomes disadvantageous.

2, when the position of the ball joint 107 is moved by the upper arm 103 of the tuning kit type in order to increase only the caster angle CA, it is possible to assemble the axle by rotating the axle, There is a problem that the length L and the caster trail CT are increased to change most of the related geometric characteristics.

3, when the upper arm 103 and the lower arm 105 are both used as a tuning kit type to move the king pin shaft 101 in a forward direction in order to increase only the caster trail CT, There is a disadvantage in that the toe characteristic and the steering characteristic according to the reduction of the length L are changed.
