AXLE SUPPORT STRUCTURE

摘要

An axle support structure includes a drive source output shaft, an axle, a vehicle body-side member, a vehicle wheel bearing and a floating shaft. The drive source output shaft is configured to be rotated by a drive source. The axle is disposed coaxially with the drive source output shaft to rotate integrally with a vehicle wheel. The vehicle wheel bearing is coupled to the axle for rotatably supporting the axle on a vehicle body-side member. The floating shaft has a first linking part linked with the drive source output shaft with a degree of freedom in a non-rotational direction, and a second linking part linked with the axle with a degree of freedom in a non-rotational direction, such that power is transmitted from the drive source output shaft to the axle. The vehicle wheel bearing is disposed axially between the first and second linking parts.

1. An axle support structure comprising:
a drive source output shaft configured to be rotated in a rotational direction by a drive source; an axle disposed coaxially with the drive source output shaft and configured to rotate integrally with a vehicle wheel; a vehicle body-side member that is configured to be pivotally coupled to the vehicle body; a vehicle wheel bearing coupled to the axle for rotatably supporting the axle on the vehicle body-side member; and a floating shaft having a first linking part linked with the drive source output shaft with a degree of freedom in a direction other than the rotational direction, and a second linking part linked with the axle with a degree of freedom in a direction other than the rotational direction, such that power is transmitted from the drive source output shaft to the axle, the vehicle wheel bearing being disposed axially between the first linking part and the second linking part with respect to an axial direction of the floating shaft.
