Individual wheel suspension with automatic camber adaptation

摘要

The invention relates to a wheel suspension for vehicles, with a vehicle body and wheels articulated on the vehicle body by means of wheel suspension parts. The wheel suspension parts of each wheel oscillate during the driving mode, and contain a wheel carrier supporting the wheel rotatably about a wheel axle and links connecting said wheel carrier to the vehicle body. The relative movement between the vehicle body and wheel suspension parts can be detected by means of detecting means. Articulation positions of the same and/or other wheel suspension parts can be automatically changed by at least one actuating means depending on the relative movements detected by the detecting means. At least one first and at least one second detecting means are respectively assigned to first and second vehicle sides of a vehicle axle.

主权项

1. An individual wheel suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
a plurality of wheel suspension parts coupling a vehicle wheel to a body of the vehicle; detecting means including a single-acting piston-cylinder arrangement, for detecting relative movement between the body and the wheel suspension parts; and actuating means structured to adjust a camber of the vehicle wheel using energy received directly from the single-acting piston-cylinder arrangement, wherein the plurality of wheel suspension parts comprises an upper transverse link coupling the vehicle wheel to the vehicle body, and a lower transverse link coupling the vehicle wheel to the actuating means, and wherein the wheel suspension further comprises an elastic spring operatively coupling the upper link to the single-acting piston-cylinder arrangement.
