Abstract:
A strut type suspension device has a retractable strut ( 111 ) that connects to an upper portion of an in-wheel motor drive device ( 10 ) so as not to relatively move; and a swingable lower arm ( 116 ) that is coupled to a lower portion of the in-wheel motor drive device in any direction, and permits vertical swinging of the in-wheel motor drive device and also permits steering of the in-wheel motor drive device about a steering shaft (S) that passes through a coupling point ( 119 ) between the lower arm ( 116 ) and the in-wheel motor drive device. An axis (M) of the motor portion ( 21 ) of the in-wheel motor drive device is arranged above a height of the coupling point ( 119 ) of the lower arm ( 116 ).

Claim (Index 1):
A coupling structure of an in-wheel motor drive device and a strut type suspension device, comprising:\n an in-wheel motor drive device having a wheel-hub bearing portion rotatably supporting a wheel hub, a motor portion that is provided offset from an axis of the wheel-hub bearing portion and drives the wheel hub, and a speed reduction portion that reduces a rotational speed of the motor portion to transmit the reduced rotational speed to the wheel hub; and a strut type suspension device having a retractable strut that connects to the in-wheel motor drive device and a swingable lower arm that is coupled to the in-wheel motor drive device in any direction, permitting vertical swinging of the in-wheel motor drive device and also permitting steering of the in-wheel motor drive device about a steering shaft that passes through a coupling point between the lower arm and the in-wheel motor drive device, wherein an axis of the motor portion is arranged above the coupling point of the lower arm.
