Abstract
Provided is a steering device of an independent drive wheel, the steering device including a base frame coupled to a vehicle body; a drive device coupled to the base frame and driven to rotate an output shaft; a steering knuckle connecting the base frame and the wheel through an upper arm and a lower arm spaced apart from each other in the up/down direction; and a connecting device having one end connected to the output shaft of the drive device and the other end, which extends in the longitudinal direction, connected to a steering knuckle below the upper arm to transmit the driving force of a drive device to rotate the steering knuckle in the same direction as the extending longitudinal direction.
Claims15
A steering device of an independent drive wheel, comprising:
- a base frame coupled to a vehicle body;
- a drive device coupled to the base frame and configured to rotate an output shaft;
- upper and lower arms coupled to the vehicle body and vertically spaced apart from each other;
- a steering knuckle coupled directly to the upper and lower arms and configured to attach the independent drive wheel to the base frame through the upper and lower arms;
- and
- a connecting device having a first end connected to the output shaft and a second end connected directly to the steering knuckle, the second end of the connecting device configured to transmit a driving force from the drive device to rotate the steering knuckle in a longitudinal direction of the connecting device.
A steering device of an independent drive wheel, comprising:
- a base frame coupled to a vehicle body;
- a drive device coupled to the base frame and configured to rotate an output shaft;
- a steering knuckle connecting the base frame and the independent drive wheel through an upper arm and a lower arm vertically spaced apart from each other;
- and
- a connecting device having a first end connected to the output shaft and a second end extending in a longitudinal direction of the connecting device, wherein the second end of the connecting device is connected to the steering knuckle and configured to transmit a driving force from the drive device to rotate the steering knuckle in the longitudinal direction of the connecting device,
- wherein the connecting device includes:
- a first coupling portion coupled to the output shaft of the drive device and extending in a direction traversing the longitudinal direction of the connecting device;
- an extending portion having a first end rotatably coupled to the first coupling portion in a direction crossing the longitudinal direction of the connecting device and extending to the independent drive wheel;
- and
- a second coupling portion rotatably coupled to a second end of the extending portion in a direction traversing a longitudinal direction of the extending portion, coupled to the steering knuckle, and spaced apart from the steering knuckle in a direction traversing the longitudinal direction of the extending portion.
An independent drive module including a steering device of an independent drive wheel, the independent drive module comprising:
- a base frame connected to a vehicle body;
- a drive device connected to the base frame and configured to rotate an output shaft;
- a lower arm having an end connected to the base frame;
- an upper arm having an end connected to the base frame and vertically spaced apart from the lower arm;
- a steering knuckle connected directly to the upper and lower arms and configured to attach the independent drive wheel to the base frame through the upper and lower arms;
- and
- a connecting device having a first end connected to the output shaft and a second end extending in a longitudinal direction of the connecting device, wherein the second end of the connecting device is connected directly to the steering knuckle and configured to transmit a driving force from the drive device to rotate the steering knuckle in the longitudinal direction of the connecting device.
