Chassis solution with aerodynamic lining / enclosure, wheel cover of the steered wheels

摘要

Wheel cover as a full covering of the steered vehicle wheels (closing the wheel arches for optical upgrading and / or aerodynamic optimization) (FIG. 1), which is an element of the bodywork. In this case, it is only sensible to carry the steering movement in the case of a decoupling from the spring movement. The core piece of the wheel cover is a circularly bent tube (guide tube, FIGS. 2 and 3), which is held in its position by two groups of guide rollers (FIG. 1 and 3). These profile rollers allow the tube to move around its center of the circle (Fig.3 / 7). The rollers are received by a mounting plate which is mounted on a fixed component of the vehicle such that the axis of rotation of the tube is identical to the steering axis of the wheel. (FIG. 2/6, FIG. 3/7) The guide tube is bent so as to be circular (semicircular) so that the necessary angle of incidence of the wheel can also be covered by the tube in the region of the rollers. A bracket (retaining plate) is inserted and screwed to the ends of the pipe (Fig.2 / 5) The wheel cover and a U-shaped profile are fixed to this bracket (Fig.2 / 3,5) A dog protrudes, which is screwed to the wheel hub of the wheel. This entrainer transmits the turning / angular position of the wheel onto the wheel cover, which thus contributes to the movement of the wheel over the roller guide (FIG. 2). In the U-profile, the dog can freely move upwards and downwards, Of the spring travels of the wheel.
