Structure for enabling independently suspended wheels to lean with vehicle hull
First Claim
1. A structure for enabling independently suspended wheels to lean with a vehicle hull, comprising:
- a linkage mechanism, further comprising;
a four-bar linkage structure, composed of a ground rod, a floating rod, being placed over the ground rod and parallel thereto, and two rocking arms; and
a connecting part, arranged at a position in the vicinity of the center between the floating rod and the ground rod while being oriented perpendicular to the two, having a bulging sliding block matched and inset to a straight sliding slot defined in the floating rod while the bottom end of the connecting part is pivotally connected to a specific position of the ground rod;
wherein, an ends of the floating rod is pivotally connected to an end of one of the two rocking arm while another end of the floating rod is pivotally connected to an end of another rocking arm; and
an ends of the ground rod is pivotally connected to an end of one of the two rocking arms opposite to that connected to the floating rod while another end of the ground rod is pivotally connected to an end of another rocking arm opposite to that connected to the floating rod; and
two suspending mechanism, each further comprising;
a hub, at least two suspending rods and a shock absorber;
wherein, the hub is pivotally connected to one rocking arm corresponding thereto by the suspending rods, and the top of the shock absorber is pivotally connected to the top of the corresponding rocking arm while the bottom of the shock absorber is pivotally connected to the bottom of the hub.

Abstract
A structure for enabling independently suspended wheels to lean with vehicle hull, which comprises a linkage mechanism and two suspending mechanisms. The linkage mechanism comprises: a connecting part and a four-bar linkage structure composed of a ground rod, a floating rod, placed over the ground rod and parallel thereto, and two rocking arms; wherein an end of the floating rod is pivotally connected to an end of one rocking arm while another end of the floating rod is pivotally connected to an end of another rocking arm; and an end of the ground rod is pivotally connected to an end of one rocking arms opposite to that connected to the floating rod while another end of the ground rod is pivotally connected to an end of another rocking arm opposite to that connected to the floating rod; and the connecting part has a bulging sliding block matched and inset into a straight sliding slot arranged near center of the floating rod while the bottom of the connecting part is pivotally connected to a specific position of the ground rod near the center thereof. The suspending mechanism comprises: a hub, two suspending rods and a shock absorber; wherein the hub is pivotally connected to the rocking arm by the two suspending rods, and the top of the shock absorber is pivotally connected to the top of one rocking arm while the bottom of the shock absorber is pivotally connected to the bottom of the hub.
