An anti-roll bar device with a variable rigidity has a first arm assembly having multiple first joining units, a second arm assembly having multiple second joining units, and a variable rigidity unit mounted between the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly and having multiple abutment portions and a variable rigidity coefficient. The first and second joining units are staggered with each other annularly and abut the abutment portions. When a vehicle passes a bumpy terrain, a slight force is exerted on the variable rigidity unit and is absorbed by the variable rigidity unit, such that the vehicle can be kept from tilting and shaking up and down. When the vehicle is in cornering, a larger force is exerted on the variable rigidity unit to increase a rigidity of the variable rigidity unit, such that the variable rigidity unit can transfer torques to keep the vehicle from tilting. |

1. An anti-roll bar device comprising:
a first arm assembly comprising
a first bar being bent, and comprising a first connecting portion formed on an end of the first bar; anda first joining module mounted on an end of the first bar at a position opposite the first connecting portion, and comprising
a first base comprising a recess recessed in a middle of the first base; andmultiple first joining units mounted on a side of the first base at a position opposite the first bar, and disposed on a periphery of the recess; a second arm assembly comprising
a second bar being bent, and comprising a second connecting portion formed on an end of the second bar;a second joining module mounted on an end of the second bar at a position opposite the second connecting portion, and comprising
a second base;a shaft disposed on a side of the second base at a position opposite the second bar, located at a middle of the second base, and corresponding to and inserted into the recess; andmultiple second joining units mounted on the side of the second base and disposed on a periphery of the shaft, and the second joining units and the first joining units staggered with each other along the peripheries of the shaft and the recess; a variable rigidity unit mounted between the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly, and comprising a body comprising a through hole formed through a middle of the body, and the shaft inserted through the through hole, wherein the variable rigidity unit has a variable rigidity coefficient which is divided into a first deformed state and a second deformed state by a force threshold, wherein
when a force that the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly exert on the variable rigidity unit is smaller than the force threshold, the variable rigidity unit is in the first deformed state, and the variable rigidity coefficient is a first rigidity coefficient;when a force that the first arm assembly and the second arm assembly exert on the variable rigidity unit is larger than the force threshold, the variable rigidity unit is in the second deformed state, and the variable rigidity coefficient is a second rigidity coefficient, and the second rigidity coefficient is larger than the first rigidity coefficient; the body abuts the first joining units and the second joining units, such that multiple abutment portions are formed on the body, or on the first joining units and the second joining units; and at least one bearing is mounted around the shaft and is located at a side of the variable rigidity unit facing the first arm assembly. |
