Abstract
An in-wheel motor system for mounting a direct drive motor to a steering wheel comprises a first knuckle 4 which is connected to the non-rotary side of a geared motor 3 by a connection member I0 having elastic bodies and direct-moving guides for limiting movement to a vertical direction and locked in a steering direction by upper and lower suspension arms 5a and 5b and a second knuckle 7 which is connected to a steering rod 8 and fitted with a brake unit 9 and a wheel 2 through a hub 6. This second knuckle 7 is connected to the above first knuckle 4 in such a manner that it can turn on a king pin axis J in the steering direction and to the output shaft of the above geared motor 3 by a connection shaft 20 having constant velocity joints 21 and 22 at both ends, thereby reducing an increase in steering torque.
