Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a torsion beam suspension in which a pair of left and right trailing arms are connected by a torsion beam, and wheels are suspended on the pair of connected left and right trailing arms.

  • the left and right trailing arms are connected by a torsion beam, and the vicinity of the free ends of the left and right trailing arms are supported by springs and dampers, respectively (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
  • the left and right wheels are usually attached to the left and right trailing arms with a camber angle. Therefore, when a slight vibration occurs in the left and right wheels, a load in the vehicle width direction acts on the left and right wheels. When the load in the vehicle width direction acts on the left and right wheels, the left and right trailing arms are twisted.
  • the torsion beam elastically deforms downward and the center of the torsion beam is at the lowest position. To position.
  • the torsion beam is restored to the original state. Therefore, the center part of the torsion beam vibrates in the vertical direction by the slight vibration transmitted to the left and right wheels.
  • ⁇ Vibration in the vertical direction at the center of the torsion beam is transmitted from the center of the torsion beam to the left and right trailing arms via the torsion beam. It is conceivable that the vibration transmitted to the left and right trailing arms is transmitted to the body frame through the base end portion, and the body frame vibrates in the vertical direction. When the vehicle body frame vibrates in the vertical direction, the vibration in the vertical direction is transmitted to the vehicle body, and low-frequency road noise may occur, giving a sense of discomfort.

  • “Rigidity in the front-rear direction” refers to the rigidity of the vehicle body against vibrations in the front-rear direction that act on the vehicle body. Therefore, it is possible to suitably secure low-frequency road noise of the vehicle by suppressing the vertical vibration among the vibrations acting on the vehicle body (body frame).
  • one of the front and rear beam wall portions is a wall portion having higher rigidity than the other. Further, among the torsion beams provided with the front and rear beam wall portions, at least the vicinity (near the middle) in the vehicle width direction is formed in a curved shape so that one wall portion having high rigidity protrudes.

  • the vibration (amplitude) of one beam wall is suppressed to be smaller than the vibration (amplitude) of the other beam wall. Therefore, when a force that generates vibrations in the vertical direction is applied to the vicinity of the middle portion of the torsion beam, the vicinity of the middle portion is twisted toward the one beam wall, and the vicinity of the middle portion vibrates in the diagonally up and down direction. Thereby, the vibration of the up-down direction which acts on the intermediate part vicinity of a torsion beam can be suppressed small.
  • the middle portion in the vehicle body width direction is formed as a curved portion so that one wall portion having high rigidity protrudes. Therefore, when a force generating vibration in the vertical direction is applied near the middle portion of the torsion beam, the bending portion can be vibrated in an oblique direction with respect to the vertical direction. By causing the bending portion to vibrate in an oblique direction, it is possible to reduce the vertical vibration acting near the middle portion of the torsion beam (that is, the bending portion).
  • one of the front and rear beam wall portions is made to be a wall portion having higher rigidity than the other, and at least one portion of the torsion beam having a high rigidity is provided in the vicinity of the middle portion in the vehicle body width direction.

Further, the bending portion was bent toward the spring support portion side. Therefore, the rigidity of the bending portion (specifically, one beam wall portion) can be increased at the other end of the trailing arm provided with the spring support portion.
  • the curved portion is formed so as to bend from one trailing arm to the other trailing arm. Therefore, the bending portion can be gently bent over the whole. Thereby, when a bending part vibrates, it can suppress that a stress concentrates on a bending part and can ensure the durability of a torsion beam still more favorably.

Abstract

L'invention porte sur une suspension de type longeron de torsion, des sections intermédiaires (21c, 22c) de bras oscillants gauche et droit (21, 22) étant reliés l'un à l'autre au moyen d'un longeron de torsion (23). Le longeron de torsion (23) comporte des sections de paroi de longeron avant et arrière (43, 44). En outre, les sections de paroi de longeron avant et arrière (43, 44) sont formées de telle sorte que la rigidité de la section de paroi de longeron arrière (44) est inférieure à celle de la section de paroi de longeron avant (43). Cette partie du longeron de torsion (23) qui se situe dans le voisinage d'une section intermédiaire dans le sens de la largeur du véhicule a une section courbée (41) qui est formée de telle sorte que la section de paroi de longeron arrière (44) est courbée vers l'arrière.
