Vehicle suspension arm
There is provided a suspension arm for a vehicle used in a suspension device of a vehicle. The suspension arm may include: a body portion constituting a basic body of the suspension arm; and a plurality of mounting portions configured to connect the suspension arm to a wheel-side member or a vehicle-body-side member. At least one of the plurality of mounting portions may be configured to include a bushing coupling portion and a fastening portion formed to extend from the bushing coupling portion to one side, such that the fastening portion may be coupled to a coupling portion provided on one side of the body portion in surface-contact with state.
1. A suspension arm for a vehicle used in a suspension device of a vehicle, the suspension arm comprising:
a body portion constituting a basic body of the suspension arm; and
a plurality of mounting portions configured to connect the suspension arm to a wheel-side member or a vehicle-body-side member,
wherein the plurality of mounting portions include a first mounting portion configured to connect the suspension arm to the wheel-side member, a second mounting portion configured to connect the suspension arm to the vehicle-body-side member, and a third mounting portion,
an A-bushing is coupled to the third mounting portion,
the third mounting portion includes a bushing coupling portion on which the A-bushing is mounted, and a fastening portion formed to extend from the bushing coupling portion in one direction,
the third mounting portion is configured such that the fastening portion is configured to be coupled to a coupling portion formed on one side of the body portion in surface-contact state,
the fastening portion of the third mounting portion includes coupling plates including an upper plate and a lower plate disposed to be spaced apart from each other,
the coupling portion of the body portion is coupled between the upper plate and the lower plate of the fastening portion,
a slip prevention portion configured to prevent a slip of the third mounting portion coupled to the body portion is provided between the fastening portion of the third mounting portion and the coupling portion of the body portion,
the third mounting portion is configured to slidably move in a direction in which the fastening portion extends from the bushing coupling portion and be coupled to the coupling portion of the body portion, and
the slip prevention portion includes a protrusion portion formed to extend along the direction in which the fastening portion extends from the bushing coupling portion and a recess in which the protrusion portion is accommodated such that the third mounting portion is prevented from slipping in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the fastening portion extends from the bushing coupling portion when the third mounting portion is coupled to the body portion.
2. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the slip prevention portion includes:
a first slip prevention portion provided with an upper protrusion portion formed to protrude upward from an upper surface of the connecting portion, and an upper recess formed in a lower surface of the upper plate and formed to be depressed into a shape corresponding to the upper protrusion portion; and
a second slip prevention portion provided with a lower protrusion portion formed to protrude upward from an upper face of the lower plate, and a lower recess formed in a lower face of the coupling portion and formed to be depressed into a shape corresponding to the lower protrusion portion.
3. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 2 , wherein the first slip prevention portion and the second slip prevention portion are configured to be positioned to overlap each other in a direction perpendicular to the coupling plate of the fastening portion.
4. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the suspension arm further comprises a fastening member formed to penetrate and be inserted into the fastening portion and the coupling portion.
5. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 4 , wherein the fastening member is configured with a locking pin that is inserted in the direction perpendicular to the coupling plate of the fastening portion.
6. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 5 , wherein the locking pin is a spring-pin.
7. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the body portion is formed of a first material,
wherein the plurality of mounting portions including the bushing coupling portion and the fastening portion are formed of a second material, and
wherein the first material and the second material are different from each other.
8. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 7 , wherein the first material is a carbon-based material, and the second material is a metallic material.
9. The suspension arm for a vehicle of claim 8 , wherein the first material is a carbon fiber reinforced plastic, and the second material is aluminum.
