A suspension structure comprising:
- a rail housing configured to be installed in a vehicle body along a height direction of the vehicle body;
- a rail attached to the rail housing toward an outer side of the vehicle body;
- a plurality of variable position links configured to be moved in the height direction of the vehicle body along the rail;
- a link transfer screw threaded to the plurality of variable position links and disposed in parallel with the rail to allow the plurality of variable position links to move by rotation;
- and
- a screw motor fixed to an upper inner side of the rail housing and coupled to one end of the link transfer screw, the screw motor being configured to provide a driving force to rotate the link transfer screw;
- and
- a steering motor fixed in a steering motor housing adjacent to a vehicle wheel, wherein the steering motor is configured to directly drive the vehicle wheel and is connected with the plurality of variable position links by a plurality of linkages.
A suspension structure comprising:
- a rail housing configured to be installed in a vehicle body along a height direction of the vehicle body;
- a rail attached to the rail housing toward an outer side of the vehicle body;
- a first variable position link and a second variable position link provided in parallel along the height direction of the vehicle body and configured to be moved in the height direction of the vehicle body along the rail;
- a link transfer screw threaded to the first and second variable position links and disposed in parallel with the rail to allow the first and second variable position links to move by rotation, wherein the first and second variable position links are configured to be independently moved by a rotation of the link transfer screw to adjust a camber angle;
- and
- a screw motor fixed to an upper inner side of the rail housing and coupled to one end of the link transfer screw, the screw motor being configured to provide a driving force to rotate the link transfer screw.
A vehicle having a skateboard platform, the vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- a vehicle wheel coupled to the vehicle body;
- a suspension structure coupled to the vehicle body and the vehicle wheel, wherein the suspension structure comprises:
- a rail housing installed in the vehicle body along a height direction of the vehicle body;
- a rail attached to the rail housing toward an outer side of the vehicle body;
- a plurality of variable position links configured to be moved in the height direction of the vehicle body along the rail;
- a link transfer screw threaded to the plurality of variable position links and disposed in parallel with the rail to allow the plurality of variable position links to move by rotation;
- and
- a screw motor fixed to an upper inner side of the rail housing and coupled to one end of the link transfer screw, the screw motor being configured to provide a driving force to rotate the link transfer screw;
- and
- a steering motor fixed in a steering motor housing adjacent to the vehicle wheel, wherein the steering motor is connected with the plurality of variable position links by a plurality of linkages.
