摘要:
A chassis system and a suspension module for vehicles having wheel subsystems incorporates a lateral torsion bar and a co-axial enveloping damper unit, featuring active-adaptive suspension characteristics. Pre-fabricated suspension modules are situated inside respective box-structures, connected via wheelbase and track members, allowing the storage of heavy elements (e.g., batteries or fuel-cells) at the chassis. The robust and self-carrying chassis is enhanced, using upper body members, in terms of structural rigidity, for a given wheelbase, achieving high impact-energy absorbtion. The suspension arms incorporate upper and lower members, articulation, connect internally or externally to the suspension module, and transmit drive and brake forces to the wheels. The suspension module, box-structure, torsion-bar/damper unit, drive and transmission unit, suspension arm and steer module, featuring asymmetrical steer characteristics, can be reproduced on each corner of the chassis, featuring electronic control without mechanical connection (steer by wire), constituting the chassis of the vehicle.

A snowmobile design, including a modular front suspension system and a stabilizer assembly, a lightweight frame structure and a drive train that reduces the center of gravity of the snowmobile. The modular front suspension system for a snowmobile that is substantially self-contained and self-supporting. The present modular front suspension system is assembled around a primary support structure, such as an extrusion or other structural member. The primary support structure can be easily attached to or detached from, the snowmobile frame. The modularity of the present suspension system decreases assembly costs. A stabilizer assembly extends through the center opening and is mechanically coupled to the ski spindle housings. The chassis for a snowmobile includes a plurality of front structural members defining a motor compartment. A pair of independent, rear structural members are rigidly connected to the front structural members and extend rearwardly from the motor compartment on opposite sides of an endless belt channel. A protective shell extends between the pair of rear structural members and over the endless belt channel. The protective shell comprises a light-weight, resin based material that transfers substantially no loads between the pair of rear structural members. The snowmobile chassis further includes a rear suspension system extending between the pair of rear structural members. The rear suspension system transfers substantially all loads between the pair of rear structural members.

An air spring system for a vehicle axle includes a link element which can be pivotably arranged on a vehicle frame for mounting the vehicle axle, an air spring which can be arranged on the link element and has a piston, and an additional reservoir, the link element having an upper side which faces the vehicle frame and a lower side which faces away from the vehicle frame, the additional reservoir being configured to be mounted on the lower side of the link element, and the air spring being configured to be mounted on the upper side of the link element.

A snowmobile assembly including a snowmobile chassis having a motor compartment at a front portion and an endless belt channel at a rear portion. A motor is located substantially in the motor compartment substantially in front of the endless belt channel. The motor includes at least one fuel control mechanism arranged toward a front portion of the snowmobile chassis. By arranging the at least one fuel control mechanism toward the front portion of the snowmobile chassis, the snowmobile assembly provides for greater mass centralization and/or a lower center of gravity than it would otherwise have if the at least one fuel control mechanism arranged toward the rear t portion of the snowmobile chassis. The greater mass centralization and/or a lower center of gravity can also be achieved by arranging the at least one exhaust port toward the rear of the snowmobile chassis. A drive train couples the motor to an endless belt drive shaft located in the endless belt channel. An endless belt is located in the endless belt channel coupled to the endless belt drive shaft.

The vehicle has a chassis including at least in its front part two longitudinal members of hollow cross section dividing the width of the vehicle into three parallel equal parts. The front wheels at least are independent and are attached to longitudinal torsion bars downwardly inclined from the rear to the front. The rear upper portions of the torsion bars are housed in the longitudinal members. The major portion of the floor is at the lower level of the longitudinal members. Four seats are arranged at the apices of a diamond, the foremost seat for the driver being the highest.
