Wheel suspension system for linear motion of wheel interface
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11964531B2) discloses a system designed for vehicles, comprising a sub-frame connectable to a reference frame and a wheel interface with a wheel rotation axis. The system includes a linking unit with pivotally connected arms and a linking member, positioned on opposite sides of the wheel interface. The arms and linking member rotate about axes perpendicular to the wheel rotation axis, allowing for movement along a straight line. Additionally, a shock absorber and steering assembly are integrated into the system for enhanced functionality.
Furthermore, the patented system incorporates a drivetrain assembly with a drivetrain shaft, motor, and transmission unit for generating and transmitting rotational motion. The design ensures that the wheel interface, arms, and linking member can be positioned within the wheel rim when assembled. The system also features a unique configuration where the linking member is offset from the connection points to the arms, providing stability and efficient operation. Overall, the patent highlights a comprehensive system that combines structural integrity, maneuverability, and shock absorption capabilities, making it a promising innovation in the field of vehicle technology.
