Camber control suspension
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A camber control suspension comprising:
- two roll detecting links respectively connected to a front part of a wheel rotational center at a knuckle of a left wheel and to a rear part of a wheel rotational center at a knuckle of a right wheel which form a L shape and are bent at a position where the links cross with a vertical line passing through the wheel rotational center of the wheels;
a rotary support bracket contacting a vehicle body and which guides rotations of two roll detecting links;
a differential gear unit including two side gears respectively installed at each end of the two roll detecting links;
a worm gear located on an exterior of a gear case of the differential gear unit;
a camber control rack formed with a gear meshing with the worm gear and horizontally installed with a vehicle axle to provide a horizontal linear motion;
camber control links connecting respective sides of the camber control rack to the wheel knuckles; and
lower links supporting a lower side of the wheel rotational centers of the knuckles against a frame of the vehicle.

Abstract
The invention relates to a camber control suspension of a vehicle that can form a stable camber angle even at the time when the vehicle rolls as well as when bumping and rebounding, including a camber control rack and camber control links which function to control camber of wheels by stopping or moving according to the vertical motion of both wheels. As a result, a most stable ground contact state of the tires at all times is achieved to sufficiently enhance the groiund contact force of the tires at any running state of the vehicle.
