Space-optimized integral link rear axle for a motor vehicle

摘要

In a wheel suspension with an axle carrier, consisting of two longitudinal members and two cross members, on which driven rear wheels of a two-track motor vehicle are attached and by which a drive unit is partially surrounded and attached to this by means of at least three unit bearings, with, on each side of the vehicle, a wheel carrier that supports a rear wheel is movably connected to one of the longitudinal members and in the area below the center of the wheel, a lower end is mounted on a spring strut, which is fixed to the vehicle body with its upper end and positioned in such a way that one of each wheel carrier is connected to the associated side member extending wishbone, seen in the direction of travel, runs behind the strut, the strut is attached with its lower end to the wheel carrier, which has a rocker in a transverse plane of the wheel carrier lying below the center of the wheel and a higher one at a vertical distance from it arranged toe link un d the wishbone in transverse planes of the wheel carrier located above the center of the wheel is at least indirectly connected to the axle carrier, with the torsion-resistant rocker being connected in its plane to the wheel carrier via two joints located one behind the other in such a way that a connection is articulated by a wheel carrier and rocker and to the transverse plane of the latter perpendicular pendulum support is formed.
