Abstract:
A structure for installing a shock absorber for a rear suspension in a solar automobile is disclosed. The coupling portion between the rear suspension and the frame of the automobile is improved for its rigidity and duration, thereby improving the running safety of the automobile. The solar automobile includes a front watching frame 100, an upper cowl assembly 200 with the front watching frame coupled thereto, a frame assembly 300 coupled to a bottom of the upper cowl assembly, for bearing most loads imposed from a rear wheel and a rear trailing arm through a shock absorber, and an under body assembly 400 installed beneath the upper cowl assembly and the frame assembly. The structure for installing the shock absorber includes brackets 361 and 362 fastened by means of bolts 360 on both sides of a lower portion of a frame 310 of the frame assembly. A first link 363 is pivotally installed on the bracket and hinge-coupled to a second link 364, the rear wheel 350 being installed on the second link. Another end of the second link is pivotally coupled to a third link 366, and the third link is pivotally installed on a side of an upper bracket 365 which is fastened by means of bolts to a U-shaped upper portion of the frame 310. A fourth link 367 is hinge-coupled to a portion of the first link, and another end of the fourth link is hinge-coupled to a fifth link 368 which is pivotally installed on the upper portion of the upper bracket. A shock absorber 369 which is hinge-coupled to the brackets is pivotally hinge-coupled at a front end thereof to another end of the fifth link.
