Abstract
A suspension for a vehicle includes an arm part including a first arm end revolvable about an arm rotation axis, a transverse leaf spring unit including a fixed leaf end, of which a relative position to the arm rotation axis is fixed, and a free leaf end movable in a direction crossing the arm rotation axis with respect to the fixed leaf end, and a link connecting the arm part and the transverse leaf spring unit, wherein the first arm end is rotatable about a first rotation axis with respect to a first link end, the free leaf end is rotatable about a second rotation axis with respect to a second link end opposite the first link end, and a direction in which either the first or second rotation axis extends varies to be parallel to or cross a direction in which the other extends.
Claims20
A suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
- an arm part including a first arm end configured to be revolved about an arm rotation axis;
- a transverse leaf spring unit including a fixed leaf end, of which a relative position to the arm rotation axis is fixed, and a free leaf end configured to be moved in a direction crossing the arm rotation axis with respect to the fixed leaf end;
- and
- a link connecting the arm part and the transverse leaf spring unit;
- wherein the first arm end is configured to be rotated about a first rotation axis with respect to a first link end of the link;
- wherein the free leaf end is configured to be rotated about a second rotation axis with respect to a second link end of the link, the second link end being opposite the first link end;
- and
- wherein a direction in which a first one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends varies to be parallel to or cross a direction in which a second one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends.
A suspension for a vehicle, the suspension comprising:
- an arm part including a first arm end configured to be revolved about an arm rotation axis;
- a transverse leaf spring unit including a fixed leaf end, of which a relative position to the arm rotation axis is fixed, and a free leaf end configured to be moved in a direction crossing the arm rotation axis with respect to the fixed leaf end;
- and
- a link connecting the arm part and the transverse leaf spring unit, wherein the first arm end is configured to be rotated about a first rotation axis with respect to a first link end of the link;
- a fixed frame coupled to the first arm end and configured to revolve together with the first arm end;
- and
- a first shaft inserted to pass through the first link end to be coupled to the fixed frame and defining the first rotation axis;
- wherein the first link end is connected to the fixed frame to be rotatable about the first rotation axis;
- wherein the free leaf end is configured to be rotated about a second rotation axis with respect to a second link end of the link, the second link end being opposite the first link end;
- and
- wherein a direction in which a first one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends varies to be parallel to or cross a direction in which a second one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends.
A vehicle comprising:
- a vehicle body;
- and
- a suspension for the vehicle mounted on a lower side of the vehicle body, the suspension comprising:
- an arm part including a first arm end configured to be revolved about an arm rotation axis;
- a transverse leaf spring unit including a fixed leaf end fixed to a lower portion of a vehicle frame and a free leaf end configured to be moved in a direction crossing the arm rotation axis with respect to the fixed leaf end;
- and
- a link connecting the arm part and the transverse leaf spring unit;
- wherein the first arm end is configured to be rotated about a first rotation axis with respect to a first link end of the link;
- wherein the free leaf end is configured to be rotated about a second rotation axis with respect to a second link end of the link, the second link end being opposite the first link end;
- and
- wherein a direction in which a first one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends varies to be parallel to or cross a direction in which a second one of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis extends.
