Axle suspension and axle lift for a vehicle axle

摘要

An axle suspension for a vehicle axle guided by a trailing arm and also, furthermore, an axle lift for a vehicle axle are proposed. The axle lift includes a force element (11), a pressure transmission means (18, 20) which is movable towards an axle link (5) of the vehicle axle by actuation of the force element, and a bracket (12). The bracket (12) is provided with a supporting means (10) for the force element (11) and the pressure reaction forces acting on the latter and, in addition, for the fastening to a support (2) is provided with a bracket part (31), on which a plug-in or hook connection (36A) for engagement in the support (2) is formed. With the aim of being able to fit the bracket (12) in a fixed basic setting on the support (2) with just a few actions, it is proposed that the bracket part (31), at a distance from the plug-in or hook connection (36A) thereof, is provided with at least one further connecting means (33), which is designed for engagement in the support (2).

主权项

1. An axle suspension for a vehicle axle, the axle suspension comprising:
a support adapted to be fixed on a vehicle side underneath a vehicle chassis and comprising opposed side walls and further comprising an end wall connecting the opposed side walls, wherein the side walls each are provided with a hole and a bore spaced apart from the hole; a trailing arm associated with the support, wherein the trailing arm has a first end and a second end, wherein the first end is provided with an eye and is rotatably connected to the support by a bolt extending through the eye, the eye arranged between the opposed sidewalls, and extending through the holes in the opposed side walls, and wherein the second end is air-sprung relative to the vehicle chassis; the trailing arm having an axle socket in which a vehicle axle is received; an axle lift arranged on the support, the axle lift comprising a force element and a pressure transmission means, wherein the force element is operatively connected to the pressure transmission means so as to move the pressure transmission means against the trailing arm when the force element is actuated; the axle lift comprising a console bracket comprising a supporting means, wherein the supporting means supports the force element and supports pressure reaction forces acting on the force element; the consol bracket further comprising a console bracket part having a plug-in or hook connection, wherein the console bracket part is attached to the support and the plug-in or hook connection engages by a keyed connection an opening provided at a lower region of the end wall of the support; the console bracket part comprising a shaped sheet metal part comprising two legs, wherein the two legs each comprise a rear end provided with a bore, wherein the bores of the rear ends are aligned with each other and arranged such that, when the console bracket part is mounted, the bores of the rear ends are aligned with the bores of the opposed side walls of the support so that the console bracket part is adapted to be attached in only one single position on the support.
