  • Patent number: 11891145
    Abstract: An estimation device estimates a stroke quantity indicating a displacement in an up-and-down direction of a vehicle, in a multistage elastic member in which a plurality of members, each having a different load displacement characteristic indicating a relationship between a load and the displacement, are disposed. The estimation device comprises: a load calculation unit configured to calculate a variable ground contact load received by a wheel of the vehicle from a ground contact surface; a state quantity estimation unit configured to estimate the stroke quantity generated in the multistage elastic member; and a characteristic change unit configured to change a setting of the initial value to an estimated load displacement characteristic.

  • Patent number: 8910735
    Abstract: In an electric vehicle, a bearing supporting portion supporting another end of a motor shaft is provided in a reducer case and protrudes to a recessed portion while extending at a lateral side of the knuckle. The reducer case being part of a drive unit is partially housed in the recessed portion of a wheel. The drive unit can be located closer to a rear wheel by an amount corresponding to the housed portion. Accordingly, it is possible to dispose part of the drive unit inside the wheel and thereby suppress protruding of the drive unit to a small degree.
