Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A suspension system for a vehicle may include a knuckle assembled to a wheel, and a tie rod having one end assembled to a rack bar moving by operation of a steering wheel, another end assembled to the knuckle, and a linkage apparatus changing a pivot trajectory of the knuckle by moving a rotation center of a pivot trajectory of the tie rod when the vehicle bumps.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A suspension system for a vehicle, comprising: a knuckle assembled to a wheel; and a tie rod having one end assembled to a rack bar moving by operation of a steering wheel, another end assembled to the knuckle, and a linkage apparatus changing a pivot trajectory of the knuckle by moving a rotation center of a pivot trajectory of the tie rod when the vehicle bumps. 2. The suspension system for the vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the linkage apparatus comprises: a first link assembled to the rack bar; a fourth link rotatably assembled to the knuckle; a second link rotatably assembled to one end of the first link and one end of the fourth link; and a third link rotatably assembled to another end of the first link and another end of the fourth link. 3. The suspension system for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein a length of the fourth link is longer than a length of the first link. 4. The suspension system for the vehicle of claim 2 , wherein a connecting bar is disposed in the fourth link, and the connecting bar and the knuckle are assembled through a ball joint. 5. The suspension system for the vehicle of claim 2 , further comprising: a driving unit providing a driving torque for moving the first link along the up-and-down direction.
