Title:
CONTROL DEVICE FOR VEHICLE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/135971
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a control device for a vehicle such that with regard to a vehicle wherein the camber angle of each wheel can be adjusted by means of a driving force of an actuator, it is possible to reduce the energy consumption of the actuator. A carrier member (41) which holds a wheel is connected to the vehicle body by an upper beam (42) and a lower beam (43) in such a way as to be capable of moving vertically. One end of the upper beam (42) is connected to a position (shaft center (O2)) which is eccentric from the shaft center (O1) of a wheel member (93a). If, as a consequence of a suspension stroke, the shaft center (O1) is not located on a straight line connecting the shaft center (O2) to a shaft center (O3), the wheel member (93a) is driven into rotation, resulting in a correction being made to compensate for such a discrepancy. Due to the above, it is possible to make it easy to maintain a wheel camber angle by means of a mechanical frictional force. Therefore, the motor driving force required to maintain the wheel camber angle at a predetermined angle is reduced or cancelled, resulting in energy consumption being able to be decreased.
