Abstract:
A wheel support device (200) includes a spring (302, 304) fitted to an in-wheel motor (70) and damping the vibration of a motor-driven wheel (100) and the in-wheel motor (70) by extending and retracting, a knuckle (180) attached to the spring (302, 304) and rotatably supporting the motor-driven wheel (100), a center part (306) of a dynamic mass damper mechanism (300) vibrating together with the in-wheel motor (70) by a force given from a road surface when a vehicle runs, an upper part (310) thereof restricting the vibration of the in-wheel motor (70) by coming into contact with the center part (306) at a prescribed region, and a cushioning member (322, 324) fitted to a portion of the center part (306) or the upper part (310) corresponding to the prescribed region brought into contact with the other.
