INDEPENDENT CORNER MODULE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17970119 titled 'INDEPENDENT CORNER MODULE

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes an independent corner module for a vehicle that includes a knuckle, an axle gear link, a fixed frame, and a steering operator. The steering operator applies an operating force to rotate the knuckle and axle gear link.

• The independent corner module is designed to guide the vertical motion of the knuckle.
• The fixed frame is securely attached to the vehicle body.
• The steering operator is positioned between the axle gear link and the fixed frame.
• When an operating force is applied to the steering operator, it rotates along the fixed frame.
• Simultaneously, the axle gear link also rotates relative to the steering operator.

Potential Applications

• Automotive industry
• Vehicle suspension systems
• Steering mechanisms

Problems Solved

• Provides a mechanism for independent vertical motion of the knuckle.
• Allows for efficient steering control and maneuverability.
• Enhances the overall performance and stability of the vehicle.

Benefits

• Improved handling and control of the vehicle.
• Enhanced suspension system for a smoother ride.
• Increased stability and maneuverability during cornering.

Original Abstract Submitted

An independent corner module includes a knuckle fastened to a wheel, an axle gear link fastened to guide a vertical motion of the knuckle, a fixed frame adjacent to the axle gear link and fixed to a vehicle body, and a steering operator positioned between the axle gear link and the fixed frame to apply an operating force. Here, the steering operator rotates along the fixed frame upon application of operating force from the steering operator, and at a same time, the axle gear link rotates relative to the steering operator.
