Referring to Fig. 1-2,5 and 8, carriage 30 has the base plate 54 that preferably is rigidly secured to the approximate horizontal above the vehicle chassis that is positioned at collision structure below.Two vertical panels 56 of carriage 30, thus 58 stretch out adjustable ground downwards from base plate 54 and link to each other with shuttle 32. Panel 56,58 is respectively elongated in the horizontal direction, and is essentially parallel to each other, and carries the corresponding groove 60,62 that the while level is extended.Preferably and as shown in FIG., installation bracket 30 is blanked parts.Yet the carriage of other form can be a Casting Parts.
Referring to Fig. 1-2,5 and 7, shuttle 32 takes the shape of the letter U usually and is rigidly connected with axle sleeve 28.Two vertical substantially walls 64,66 of shuttle 32 roughly protrude upward and roughly are positioned at axle sleeve 28 tops, thereby adjustable ground is connected on the corresponding panel 56,58 of carriage 30.The groove 68,70 of level is positioned at corresponding wall 64 with vertical and curved substantially groove 72,74 substantially, in 66, thereby make corresponding groove 60 in groove 68,70 and the carriage 30,62 and carriage 30 in the groove 72,74 that intersects with corresponding groove 60,62 roughly extend jointly.Preferably, deep-slotted chip breaker 72,74 is parallel to each other and spaced apart with corresponding groove 68,70 backward.
In the time of above shuttle 32 is assembled into carriage 30, pilot pin 76 extends through the groove 68,70 in the shuttle 32 and passes groove 60,62 on the carriage 30.Preferably, described pin 76 is that an end has the head of expansion and the bolt that the other end has nut 78.Similarly, obliquity rod 80 stretches out the deep-slotted chip breaker 72,74 that passes in the shuttle 32 and the groove 60,62 on the carriage 30.Preferably, obliquity rod 80 is that an end has the head of expansion and the bolt that the other end has nut 82.Obliquity rod 80 is the part of blocking device 40 substantially, the handle 84 that described blocking device further has and the bolt 80 between the wall 64 of nut 82 and shuttle 32 meets the boundary vertically.When handle 84 activated or around bar 80 when being rotated, wall 64,66 unclamps and is clamped in above the carriage 30, in order to tubing string assembly 20 correspondingly being regulated and locked described adjustment state.
Referring to Fig. 1-4 and 6, tween drive shaft 48 (being telescopically) is vertically regulated, in order under normal condition or configuration the tubing string assembly vertically being adjusted to extended position 36 from retracted position 34, (referring to Fig. 6) vertically is adjusted to failure position 88 with the tubing string assembly when described assembly is in collapse state 90 times simultaneously.In order to realize this axial adjustment, tween drive shaft 48 has the outer sleeve 92 that is attached at forward end 94 places above the forward direction U-joint 50 and is being attached to the inner sleeve 96 of back above U-joint 52 in the back to 98 places, end.It is inner and preferably rotatably together fixed to one another with those skilled in the art's known manner quilt by spline that inner sleeve 96 is set at outer sleeve 92 slidably.
In the course of normal operation (being normal condition 86) of this assembly, pilot pin 76 releasably is fixed in the forward end part 100 of two horizontal slots 68,70 that compress shuttle 32 (referring to Fig. 1 and Fig. 7).When so fixedly, pilot pin 76 is positioned in the position of obliquity rod 80 further away from each other, and away from distance equal the radius of curvature 102 (i.e. distance from the line of centers 104 of pilot pin 76 to the deep-slotted chip breaker mean radius of curvature) of deep-slotted chip breaker 72,74 substantially.The remainder of straight trough 68,70 or back are stretched out certain distance to end sections 106 backward from appropriate section 100, and described distance is substantially equal to the retraction stroke of assembly 20 in collision process.In producing the process of this retraction stroke, to advance when passing the part 106 of groove 68,70 when pin 76, kinetic energy is absorbed.In order to absorb kinetic energy, the wall 64,66 of shuttle 32 produces plastic deformation.Produce described distortion and be because the width 108 of part 106 less than the diameter of pin 76.By contrast, the width 110 of the part 100 of groove 68,70 is slightly larger than the diameter that is used to make the pin that shuttle 32 and axle sleeve 28 pivot around line of centers 104 in the process of steering column being carried out pitch adjustment.
Referring to Fig. 2 and 7-8, thereby energy absorber system in the steering column assembly 20 or U-shaped strap 46 will allow to move between vehicle structure member and steering shaft 22 further to absorb kinetic energy by resistivity ground in destructive process.Strap 46 can be elongated hardware, and described hardware has second free end that is fastened to the first end above the installation bracket 30 and is provided with along the outside face of axle sleeve 28 by rivet 112.Between its first end and the second end, strap 46 is provided with around obliquity rod 80.In the process that tubing string initially is damaged, owing to the frictional engagement between compression shuttle 32 recited above and the installation bracket 30 is overcome, so any inside advancing that the normal telescopic moving of tubing string is realized all is absorbed.At the normal inwardly flexible point that is reached of advancing of tubing string (is that pilot pin 76 is shelved on by limiting groove 60 substantially, the panel 56 of the carriage 30 of 62 end, 58 carried back on the backstop 120) outside, at this some place, be fixed in the U-shaped curve of strap 46 around the sleeve 114 of obliquity rod 80 and/or pilot pin 76 arrival slots 68,70 back to the end, along with tubing string continues to be damaged, strap 46 produces plastic deformation.When this part of tubing string is damaged, along with strap 46 is untied obliquity rod sleeve 114, pilot pin 76 is away from its releasable fixed position that is positioned at substantially in the horizontal slot 68,70, and slide (as comparing) towards obliquity rod 80 with shown in Fig. 3-6 along groove 68,70.The destruction of tubing string assembly 20 as described above also can cause tween drive shaft 48 to continue to produce contraction destruction.
Make steering column assembly 20 produce in the process of shrinking owing to bumping or afterwards, tubing string assembly and bearing circle keep up and are supported and away from chaufeur, help chaufeur thus and escape from vehicle after collision happens.All the time, installation bracket 30 remains fixed in above the vehicle structure member (not shown), and compression shuttle 32 keeps linking to each other with installation bracket 30, as axle sleeve 28, steering shaft 22, bearing circle.After shrinking, compress the setting gradient position that the frictional engagement that is maintained between shuttle 32 and the installation bracket 30 will maintain tubing string, upwards support the lap of tubing string thus away from chaufeur.
Further, in contraction process, along with the groove 68 of pilot pin 76 along approximate horizontal, 70 move towards obliquity rod 80 from its releasable fixed position, the distance that pilot pin 76 moves is less than groove 72,74 radius of curvature 102, thus by being moved with respect to obliquity rod 80, the compression shuttle suppressed the pivoting action that line of centers 104 that compression shuttle 32 centers on pilot pin 76 carries out thus.The curved side of deep-slotted chip breaker 72,74 forms interference with obliquity rod 80 and engages.Therefore, by the distance between pilot pin 76 and obliquity rod 80 that is caused changes because tubing string stretches, also suppressed tubing string in collision process by being disengaged that blocking device 40 may exist from moving downward that carry out the gradient position of its setting, upwards support the lap of tubing string thus away from chaufeur.
