VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP2016026940
Kind Code:
A
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a vehicle which, when each of a pair of left and right wheels is displaced relatively to a vehicle body due to a difference in drive force between the wheels, the two wheels are reliably displaced vertically in opposite directions such that neither wheel is disproportionately displaced and such that both the wheels are steered during the vertical displacement of the two wheels in opposite directions.SOLUTION: Each of a pair of left and right front wheels 3 is rotatably supported by a front wheel support member 29. An electric motor 25 applies drive torque to each of the front wheels 3 individually. A vehicle body frame 7 supports the front wheel support member 29 to allow rotation about an inclined axis Lf that is inclined forward. By allowing rotation of the front wheel support member 29 about the inclined axis Lf, the front wheels 3 are displaced relatively to the vehicle body frame 7 vertically in opposite directions and the front wheels 3 are steered. The front wheel support members 29 rotate because of the difference in torque applied to the front wheels 3 by the electric motor 25.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 9
