A dual-mode active rear-wheel steering device based on a multi-linkage mechanism, including: a steering angle control motor with a speed-reduction mechanism, a multi-linkage mechanism assembly for converting rotational motion of the steering angle control motor into linear motion of an end of the push rod, a steering actuating mechanism for converting linear motion of the multi-linkage mechanism assembly into rotation of a knuckle around a kingpin to make the rear wheels steer, a first electromagnetic pin puller and a second electromagnetic pin puller respectively configured to control a first extendable-retractable push rod assembly and a second extendable-retractable push rod assembly to work at a fixed or variable axial length. The device uses the steering angle control motor to drive the two rear wheels to turn in the same direction or opposite directions through the control of energized state of the two electromagnetic pin pullers.

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.

A four-mode dual-motor coupled electric drive axle, including a primary drive motor, an auxiliary drive motor, a reducer, a torque vectoring (TV) coupler, a power coupling differential, a housing, and a power output mechanism. The TV coupler is switchable among disconnected mode, TV mode, and reducer mode by controlling a first clutch and a second clutch. The power coupling differential is switchable between torque coupling mode and speed coupling mode by controlling a third clutch. The electric drive axle is switchable among single-motor drive mode, TV drive mode, dual-motor torque coupling drive mode, and dual-motor speed coupling drive mode by controlling the TV coupler and the power coupling differential.
