To simplify the disclosure of the present invention, the components and arrangements of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention may repeat reference numerals and/or letters in the various examples. This repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself dictate a relationship between the various embodiments and/or configurations discussed. In addition, the present invention provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize the applicability of other processes and/or the use of other materials.
An electric steering column worm gear mechanism 100, an electric power steering system, and a vehicle according to an embodiment of the present invention are described below with reference to fig. 1 to 15.
Referring to fig. 1 to 2, an electric steering column worm gear mechanism 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention may include a housing 10, a worm gear 20, a worm shaft 30, a first bearing 40, a second bearing 50, a motor shaft 60, a coupling assembly 70, and an elastic member 80.
Referring to fig. 1-2, the worm wheel 20 and the worm shaft 30 are disposed in the housing 10, the worm wheel 20 and the worm shaft 30 are engaged with each other, and both ends of the worm shaft 30 are connected to the housing 10 through a first bearing 40 and a second bearing 50, respectively, for example, the housing 10 is provided with a first mounting cavity 11 and a second mounting cavity 12 (refer to fig. 14), the first mounting cavity 11 is communicated with the second mounting cavity 12, the worm wheel 20 is disposed in the first mounting cavity 11, and the worm shaft 30 is disposed in the second mounting cavity 12.
Referring to fig. 2 and 3, the motor shaft 60 is rotatably disposed in the housing 10, the output end of the motor shaft 60 is provided with a coupling assembly 70, the coupling assembly 70 is connected to one end of the worm shaft 30 passing through the first bearing 40, the motor shaft 60 is eccentrically disposed with the worm shaft 30 and adjacent to the worm wheel 20, in other words, the rotation center line of the motor shaft 60 and the rotation center line of the worm shaft 30 are not on the same straight line, and the center axis of the motor shaft 60 is located on the side of the center axis of the worm shaft 30 close to the worm wheel 20. It will be appreciated that the motor shaft 60 provides an assist force during driver steering, which is transmitted through the coupling assembly 70 to the worm 30 and then through the worm gear 20 to the steering shaft to assist the driver in steering, and that the operation and working principle of the electric steering column worm gear mechanism 100 to assist steering is known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail herein.
Referring to fig. 15, the elastic member 80 is connected to the housing 10, the second bearing 50 is mounted to the elastic member 80, and the elastic member 80 is configured and adapted to provide a force to the second bearing 50 toward the turbine 20.
In actual research, the inventors found that clearances exist between the worm wheel and the worm, between the worm wheel and the coupling assembly, between the first bearing and the second bearing, and between the worm wheel and the worm and between the worm wheel and the coupling assembly. The clearance value inside the mechanism is too small, so that the problems that the electric steering column worm gear mechanism has large no-load rotation torque value and unsmooth driving direction and the like can be caused. Too large a gap value causes problems such as "dendendenuded" abnormal sound in the hitting direction and rattle road rate noise.
In order to solve the problems of "anchor" noise in the hitting direction and the road roll noise, in the present application (see fig. 15), by making the motor shaft 60 and the worm shaft 30 eccentric and adjacent to the turbine 20, the motor shaft 60 can apply a force toward the turbine 20 to one end of the worm shaft 30 through the coupling assembly 70, and the other end of the worm shaft 30 tends to move away from the turbine 20, the elastic member 80 is compressed to deform, and due to the force and the reaction force, the elastic member 80 applies a force toward the turbine 20 to the second bearing 50, that is, a force toward the center of the turbine 20 exists at both ends of the worm shaft 30, in other words, the motor shaft 60 and the elastic member 80 work together to provide a pre-pressure, so that the worm shaft 30 and the turbine 20 can be tightly attached, the gap between the turbine 20 and the worm shaft 30 can be reduced, the pre-pressure still exists after endurance, and thus the performance attenuation is small, the method avoids the rate noise of the bumpy road surface before and after endurance, further ensures that the new vehicle and the steering system after endurance have good performance in evaluating the rate noise of the bumpy road, and has simple design and easy control.
In view of this, according to the electric steering column worm gear mechanism 100 of the first embodiment of the present invention, the motor shaft 60 is eccentric to the worm shaft 30 and is adjacent to the worm wheel 20, and the elastic member 80 is configured to provide a force toward the worm wheel 20 to the second bearing 50, so that a force toward the worm wheel 20 can be applied to one end of the worm shaft 30, and the other end of the worm shaft 30 tends to be away from the worm wheel 20, and due to the force and the reaction force, the elastic member 80 applies a force toward the worm wheel 20 to the second bearing 50, so that the gap between the worm wheel 20 and the worm shaft 30 can be reduced, and thus the new vehicle and the durable steering system can perform well in the estimation of the bump road rate (rattle) noise, and the design is simple and easy to control.
In some embodiments of the present invention, and as illustrated with reference to fig. 4-7, the coupling assembly 70 includes: the first hub 71 is arranged at the output end of the motor shaft 60, the second hub 72 is arranged at one end of the worm 30, and the first hub 71 and the second hub 72 are connected through the coupler 73. Therefore, the structure is simple, the eccentric arrangement of the motor shaft 60 and the worm 30 is convenient to realize, the installation is convenient, and the improvement of the production efficiency is facilitated. For example, referring to fig. 3 and 4, the motor shaft 60 is provided with external splines 61, and the first hub 71 is provided with internal splines 712 adapted to mate with the external splines 61, thereby facilitating installation and securing the connection.
In some alternative embodiments of the invention, as shown with reference to fig. 5 and 6, the second hub 72 is provided with a fixing hole 722, and the threaded fastener 74 is connected to the worm shaft 30 through the fixing hole 722. It will be appreciated that the threaded fastener 74 has the advantage of being simple in construction and easy to assemble, with the threaded fastener 74 providing a tight connection of the second hub 72 to the worm shaft 30. In addition, the cost can be reduced while the connection strength of the second hub 72 and the worm shaft 30 is ensured. Alternatively, the threaded fasteners 74 may be screws, bolts, or studs.
In some alternative embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4 to 7 and fig. 15, the outer circumferential wall of the first hub 71 is provided with a plurality of first fitting protrusions 711, the outer circumferential wall of the second hub 72 is provided with a plurality of second fitting protrusions 721, the inner circumferential wall of the coupling 73 is provided with a plurality of fitting recesses 731 adapted to be fitted with the plurality of first fitting protrusions 711 and the plurality of second fitting protrusions 721 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the first fitting protrusions 711 and the second fitting protrusions 721 are arranged at intervals in the axial direction of the coupling 73. Therefore, the first hub 71, the second hub 72 and the coupler 73 can be assembled conveniently, the contact area among the first hub 71, the second hub 72 and the coupler 73 can be increased, and the reliability of the coupler assembly 70 can be improved. Alternatively, as shown in fig. 4 to 5, the plurality of first fitting protrusions 711 are evenly spaced on the outer circumferential wall of the first hub 71, and the plurality of second fitting protrusions 721 are evenly spaced on the outer circumferential wall of the second hub 72.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 10 to 11, the elastic member 80 may be a bearing bush having a certain elasticity, and the elastic member 80 includes: the mounting structure comprises an outer ring 81, an inner ring 82 and a mounting pin 83, wherein the outer ring 81 is connected with the shell 10, the inner ring 82 is positioned in the outer ring 81, a gap exists between the inner ring 82 and the outer ring 81, and the mounting pin 83 penetrates through the outer ring 81 to be connected with the inner ring 82. Therefore, the elastic force exists between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82, and the structure is simple and easy to produce and manufacture. Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the elastic member 80 may have other structures, for example, the elastic member 80 may be formed as a spring connected between the housing 10 and the second bearing 50, as long as the elastic member 80 is configured to provide a force to the second bearing 50 toward the turbine 20, which is within the protection scope of the present invention.
For example, referring to fig. 13 and 15, the inner race 82 is fitted with the second bearing 50 (see fig. 12) to be connected to the worm shaft 30, and the outer race 81 is fixed and interference-fitted to the housing 10. Due to the eccentric design of the motor shaft 60 and the worm shaft 30, the second bearing 50 at the other end of the worm shaft 30 tends to move away from the center of the worm wheel 20, and due to the acting force and the reacting force, the inner ring 82 applies a force to the center of the worm wheel 20 due to the elastic force. I.e., both ends of the worm shaft 30 are forced toward the center of the worm wheel 20, thereby achieving the object of the present invention. A gap exists between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82, when a bumpy road surface occurs, the inner ring 82 swings around a fulcrum, the gap value between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82 cannot be too large, otherwise ratele noise can be caused, and multiple road tests prove that when the gap value between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82 is smaller than a certain value, ratele noise does not exist before and after endurance. It should be noted that, the value of the gap between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82 is greater than 0, and the specific value of the gap between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82 can be adjusted and set according to the specification model of the electric steering column worm gear mechanism 100, which is not limited in this respect.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 11, the inner circumferential wall of the outer ring 81 is provided with a first boss 811, the first boss 811 abuts against the inner ring 82, and the mounting pin 83 passes through the first boss 811 to be connected to the inner ring 82. This reduces the contact area between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82, and ensures the deformability of the inner ring 82 with respect to the outer ring 81.
In some embodiments of the present invention, referring to fig. 11, the outer circumferential wall of the inner ring 82 is provided with a second boss 812, the second boss 812 abuts against the inner circumferential wall of the outer ring 81, and the mounting pin 83 passes through the outer ring 81 and is connected to the second boss 812. This reduces the contact area between the outer ring 81 and the inner ring 82, and ensures the deformability of the inner ring 82 with respect to the outer ring 81. For example, in some specific examples, the inner circumferential wall of the outer ring 81 is provided with a first boss 811, the outer circumferential wall of the inner ring 82 is provided with a second boss 812, and the mounting pin 83 passes through the first boss 811 and is connected to the second boss 812.
In some embodiments of the present invention, and as shown in FIG. 11, mounting pin 83 is a plastic piece. It can be understood that the plastic part has good mechanical properties, the inner ring 82 can have certain deformability relative to the outer ring 81 on the premise of satisfying the structural firmness of the inner ring 82 and the outer ring 81, and the mounting pin 83 made of plastic has good corrosion resistance and higher reliability in use. Optionally, in some examples, the central axis of the mounting pin 83 is disposed parallel to the central axis of the turbine 20, thereby facilitating increased deformability of the inner race 82 relative to the outer race 81.
