Abstract
A suspension system for a vehicle with a composite spring may include: a first longitudinally mounted spring 10 and a second longitudinally mounted spring 20 generating vertical stiffness of a vehicle; and a transversely mounted spring 30 generating roll stiffness and connected to the first and second longitudinally mounted springs. In particular, the transversely mounted spring 30 is connected to a vehicle body 1 by a support member 40. Stiffness of the vehicle may be further strengthened during a longitudinal behavior and a rolling behavior of the vehicle, and thus, running stability may be significantly enhanced.
Claims10
A suspension system for a vehicle with a spring formed of a composite material, the suspension system comprising:
- a first longitudinally mounted spring and a second longitudinally mounted spring respectively formed of a composite material and arranged on a left side and a right side of the vehicle, wherein the first and second longitudinally mounted springs extend in a front-rear direction of the vehicle, and each have one side and another side, both sides connected to a vehicle body of the vehicle;
- a transversely mounted spring formed of a composite material, connected to the first longitudinally mounted spring and the second longitudinally mounted spring and installed in a transverse direction of the vehicle;
- and
- an axle bracket connected to a portion where the first longitudinally mounted spring and the transversely mounted spring are connected,
- wherein the axle bracket is connected to a portion where the second longitudinally mounted spring and the transversely mounted spring are connected,
- wherein the transversely mounted spring includes:
- a first transversely mounted spring integrally formed with the first longitudinally mounted spring, and
- a second transversely mounted spring integrally formed with the second longitudinally mounted spring, and
- wherein the first transversely mounted spring and the second transversely mounted spring are connected by a connection bracket.
