An integrated semi-independent suspension and drivetrain system for a vehicle including a swing arm with a swing mount for pivotally mounting the swing arm to the vehicle, an axle carrier for mounting an axle assembly, the axle carrier being rotatably mounted to the swing arm to allow the axle assembly to roll about a suspension roll axis, a driven sprocket substantially centrally attached to the axle assembly for rotating the axle assembly, a drive sprocket for transferring rotational power to the driven sprocket, a flexible coupling mechanically linking the driven sprocket to the drive sprocket to allow transfer of rotational power from the drive sprocket to the driven sprocket, a constant velocity joint centrally disposed on the drive sprocket axle to allow alignment of the drive sprocket relative to the driven sprocket, and a CV guide for aligning the drive sprocket with the driven sprocket. The integrated semi-independent suspension and drivetrain system may also include a brake assembly where the driven sprocket includes a brake surface. In addition, the integrated semi-independent suspension and drivetrain system may also include a left axle and a right axle and the driven sprocket may include a differential gear system to allow the left axle to rotate at a different rotational speed compared to the right axle.
La présente invention concerne un système intégré de suspension semi-indépendante et de transmission pour véhicules qui comprend les organes suivants: bras pivotant relié par pivot au véhicule; porte-essieu recevant l'ensemble d'essieu, monté rotatif sur le bras oscillant et permettant à l'essieu de d'osciller sur l'axe de suspension: barbotin mené monté sensiblement au centre de l'ensemble essieu et faisant tourner celui-ci; barbotin menant transférant la puissance de rotation au barbotin mené; joint homocinétique disposé centralement sur l'axe du barbotin menant et assurant l'alignement dudit barbotin sur le barbotin mené; et guide homocinétique assurant l'alignement du barbotin menant sur le barbotin mené. Le système intégré de suspension semi-indépendante et de transmission peut également comporter un ensemble frein, auquel cas le barbotin mené présente une surface de freinage. De plus, le système intégré de suspension semi-indépendante et de transmission peut être assorti d'un essieu gauche et d'un essieu droit, et le barbotin mené peut comporter un train d'engrenages différentiel permettant aux essieux gauche et droit de tourner à des vitesses différentes.
