Abstract
An in-corner modular electric wheel system integrating adjustable king pin and king pin type steering unit includes a wheel assembly, a steering system, a king pin inclination adjusting system and a suspension system. The wheel assembly is configured to support a load of a vehicle, transmit a driving torque and determine a toe angle and a camber angle. The steering system is a king pin type steering system, and is configured for an omni-directional independent wheel steering. The king pin inclination adjusting system is sleeved on the king pin, and is configured to adjust an inclination of the king pin without changing the camber angle. The suspension system has an unequal-length double-wishbone suspension structure, and is provided with a coil spring and a shock absorber to mitigate road impacts and improve ride comfort.
