Abstract

To constrain a load applied to a steering shaft and a power assist unit. In a rough-terrain traveling vehicle including a power assist unit constituting an electrically-driven power steering apparatus provided coaxially with a steering shaft, and an electrically-driven motor provided in the power assist unit arranged so as to be orthogonal to the steering shaft, a rear end portion of the electrically-driven motor is supported by a motor supporting member which is mounted to inclined frames, (only the reference numeral on the near side is shown) of a vehicle body frame.

Claims (6)

1. A rough-terrain traveling vehicle provided with an electrically-driven motor comprising an actuator unit which constitutes an electrically-driven power steering apparatus provided coaxially with a steering shaft, and an electrically-driven motor provided in the actuator unit arranged so as to be orthogonal to the steering shaft, characterized in that an end portion of the electrically-driven motor is supported by a motor supporting member mounted to a vehicle body frame.
2. The rough-terrain traveling vehicle provided with an electrically-driven power steering apparatus according to Claim 1, characterized in that the electrically-driven motor is supported by the motor supporting member via a elastic member.
3. The rough-terrain traveling vehicle provided with an electrically-driven power steering apparatus according to Claim 1, characterized in that the motor supporting member is formed of a elastic member.
4. The rough-terrain traveling vehicle provided with an electrically-driven power steering apparatus according to Claim 1 or Claim 2, characterized in that a cross member for connecting left and right portions of the vehicle body frame is employed as the motor supporting member.
5. The rough-terrain traveling vehicle with an electrically-driven power steering apparatus according to any one of Claims 1 to 4, characterized in that the motor supporting member is configured by tightening a lower motor supporting member for supporting a lower portion of the end portion of the electrically-driven motor, and an upper motor supporting member for supporting an upper portion of the end portion of the electrically-driven motor.
6. The rough-terrain traveling vehicle provided with an electrically-driven power steering apparatus according to any one of Claims 1 to 3 and Claim 5, characterized in that a cantilevered member extending inwardly of the vehicle body from any one of the left and right vehicle body frames is employed as the motor supporting member.
