STEERABLE WHEEL MODULE WITH ADJUSTABLE ANGLES OF SETTING OF STEERABLE WHEELS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC B62D17/00 

FIELD: transport engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to running gear and steerable gear of wheeled vehicles. proposed steerable wheel module with adjustable angles of setting of steerable wheels has steerable wheels installed on trunnions rigidly connected with steering knuckles at angle of initial camber in vehicle cross section, steering knuckles hinge-mounted by means of pivots on beam and interconnected by knuckle arms, hinge joints and tie-rod and actuating mechanisms connected with output of controller whose inputs are connected with steerable wheel position, vertical load and tire pressure sensors. Each steering knuckle consists of rotation and turnable parts interconnected for rotation relative to each other in longitudinal plane of vehicle. Turnable part is hinge connected with pivot, and rotating part is rigidly connected with trunnion and additional knuckle arm which is mechanically coupled with actuating mechanism.

EFFECT: enlarged operating capabilities.
