TOE ANGLE ADJUSTING METHOD AND TOE ANGLE ADJUSTMENT MECHANISM OF DIRECTION CHANGING DEVICE IN INDUSTRIAL VEHICLE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve workability in toe angle adjusting work in a simple structure.;SOLUTION: In this direction changing device of an industrial vehicle, a wheel 14 is respectively rotatably arranged in left-right steering knuckles 13 rotatably supported in the lateral direction via a kingpin 12 at both ends of an axle beam 11, and output rods 15R and 15L of a steering cylinder 15 installed on the axle beam 11, are driven for advancing-retreating in the relative direction by operation of a steering wheel, and a knuckle arm 16 is arranged on the output rods 15R and 15L for rotating the steering knuckle 13 in the lateral direction via the knuckle arm 16. A shim 31 is interposed between the axle beam 11 and the steering cylinder 15, and the steering cylinder 15 is displaced in the longitudinal direction to the steering beam 11, adjusting the toe angle of the wheel 14.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
