VEHICLE WITH TILT FRAME AND SPRING DAMPER SYSTEM

DRIVE May 5, 2022
Source
A vehicle with a base frame to which at least two sprung suspensions, in particular sprung wheel suspensions, for driven, non-driven, steerable or non-steerable contact elements, for example wheels, are attached which can be steered by means of a steering knuckle and are located on both sides of the longitudinal direction of travel, in each case transversely to the direction of travel, a tilt frame, tiltable in a tilt axis with respect to the base frame. A steering tube is rotatably attached to the tilt frame in the steering axis and automatically tilts with the tilt frame, at least one track rod connected to the track rod actuating element, and a linear or rotary track rod actuating element rotatable over a guide element. The track rod actuating element is displaced by tilting the tilt frame about the tilt axis and independently thereof by rotating the steering tube about the steering axis in such a way that the steerable contact element is given a steering movement by the track rod actuating element by means of the at least one track rod and no substantial change in the camber of the contact elements takes place during cornering, wherein the vehicle comprises at least one spring damper system which is suitable and provided for reducing a pendulum tilt of a tilt frame about the vertical zero position.
