Abstract
Description
Dispositif de direction à crémaillére
L'invention concerne un dispositif de direction à crémaillère dans lequel une crémaillère est entraînée par un pignon solidaire de l'arbre de direction et est reliée aux biellettes de commande des roues.Rack steering system
The invention relates to a rack-and-pinion steering device in which a rack and pinion is driven by a pinion secured to the steering shaft and is connected to the wheel control rods.
L'invention concerne plus particulièrement le mode d'implantation d'un dispositif de direction à crémaillère du type précité dans une zone qui nécessite usuellement l'emploi d'organes de direction spécifiques destinés à éviter tout contact avec les éléments périphériques du châssis au cours des modifications géométriques des épures de direction et de suspension.The invention relates more particularly to the mode of installation of a rack-and-pinion steering device of the aforementioned type in an area which usually requires the use of specific steering members intended to avoid any contact with the peripheral elements of the chassis during geometric modifications of the direction and suspension drawings.
L'invention concerne également un dispositif de direction a crémaillère du type comportant un boîtier de crémaillère, une crémaillère déplaçable axialement dans ledit boîtier, un ensemble de biellettes de commande disposées axialement aux extrémités de la crémaillère, fonctionnellement reliées aux fusées de roues directrices.The invention also relates to a rack-and-pinion steering device of the type comprising a rack housing, a rack movable axially in said housing, a set of control rods arranged axially at the ends of the rack, functionally connected to the steering wheel stub axles.
Conformément à l'invention, chaque extrémité de la crémaillère se prolonge axialement par un levier rigidement lié à cette dernière et qui porte deux articulations de biellettes de poussée sensiblement parallèles solidaires à des niveaux différents d'un bras de commande du levier d'orientation du porte-fusée de roue dont les articulations sur ledit bras de commande sont respectivement alignées avec la rotule de jonction du bras au levier d'orientation.According to the invention, each end of the rack is extended axially by a lever rigidly connected to the latter and which carries two articulations of substantially parallel thrust rods secured at different levels of a control arm of the orientation lever of the wheel stub axle whose joints on said control arm are respectively aligned with the ball joint of the arm to the orientation lever.
Le dispositif de direction ainsi réalisé est particulièrement adapté aux trains avant de véhicules automobiles qui possèdent une jambe de force télescopique disposée entre le porte-fusée et la caisse du véhicule et un bras inférieur de suspension.The steering device thus produced is particularly suitable for the front axles of motor vehicles which have a telescopic strut disposed between the stub axle and the vehicle body and a lower suspension arm.
D'autres caractéristiques et avantages ressortiront du dessin annexé dans lequel la figure est une vue en perspective d'un demi-train à jambe de force télescopique disposée entre le porte-fusée et la carrosserie. Other characteristics and advantages will emerge from the appended drawing in which the figure is a perspective view of a half-train with telescopic strut disposed between the stub axle and the bodywork.
En référence à la figure , on voit que le train comporte une jambe de force télescopique 1 constituée par l'amortisseur, articulée à sa partie supérieure sur la caisse par une articulation souple non représentée et à sa partie inférieure sur un bras triangulé 8, qui porte une articulation élastique 9 mobile autour d'un axe horizontal 11.Referring to the figure, it can be seen that the train comprises a telescopic strut 1 constituted by the shock absorber, articulated at its upper part on the body by a flexible articulation not shown and at its lower part on a triangulated arm 8, which carries an elastic articulation 9 movable around a horizontal axis 11.
La fonction suspension est assurée, dans le cas de figure, par un ressort hélicoldal 2 en appui sur la caisse et sur une coupelle fixée à la jambe de force 1, mais pourrait l1etre également par une barre de torsion bloquée sur l'axe Il solidarisant le bras inférieur 8 et la caisse, ou tout autre élément de suspension.The suspension function is ensured, in the case of figure, by a helical spring 2 bearing on the body and on a cup fixed to the strut 1, but could also be by a torsion bar blocked on the axis It solidarisant the lower arm 8 and the body, or any other suspension element.
La liaison de la roue au demi-train est opérée à l'aide d'un portefusée 12 dont une branche 6 est fixée rigidement au corps de l'amortisseur servant de jambe de force 1. Le porte-fusée 12 porte par ailleurs un bras de guidage 7 auquel est reliée la queue d'une rotule de suspension 5 dont le boîtier est raccordé au bras de suspension transversal 8.The connection of the wheel to the half-train is effected by means of a wallet 12 of which a branch 6 is rigidly fixed to the body of the shock absorber serving as a strut 1. The stub axle 12 also carries an arm guide 7 to which the tail of a suspension ball joint 5 is connected, the housing of which is connected to the transverse suspension arm 8.
Le porte-fusée 12 porte également un levier d'orientation 14 de la roue ainsi que cela est bien connu.The stub axle 12 also carries an orientation lever 14 of the wheel as is well known.
Le levier d'orientation 14 porte une rotule de direction 15 qui lie le porte-fusée 12 au mécanisme de direction sur laquelle s'articule un bras de commande i6 et qui est alignée avec deux articulations élastiques 17, 18.The orientation lever 14 carries a steering ball joint 15 which links the steering knuckle 12 to the steering mechanism on which a control arm i6 is articulated and which is aligned with two elastic articulations 17, 18.
Le bras de commande 16 porte à deux niveaux différents des articulations élastiques 17, 18 de deux biellettes de poussée 19, 19' dont une extrémité est solidaire au moyen d'articulations également élastiques 22, 21 d'un levier 23 rigidement lié à la crémaillère 24 et n'ayant aucun mouvement relatif par rapport à cette dernière.The control arm 16 carries at two different levels elastic joints 17, 18 of two thrust rods 19, 19 'one end of which is secured by means of equally elastic joints 22, 21 of a lever 23 rigidly linked to the rack 24 and having no relative movement relative to the latter.
On voit ainsi que la crémaillère 24 peut être placée sans difficultés particulières à un niveau compatible avec la disposition des différents organes du châssis et que l'ensemble des organes 23, 19, 19' et 16 remplace une biellette de direction de grande longueur dont les déplacements pourraient être gênés par certains organes du véhicule
On remarque en outre que les débattements du bras inférieur transversal et de la jambe de force sont sans influence sur la position dela crémaillère.It can thus be seen that the rack 24 can be placed without any particular difficulty at a level compatible with the arrangement of the various members of the chassis and that all the members 23, 19, 19 ′ and 16 replace a very long steering rod whose movements could be hindered by certain parts of the vehicle
It is further noted that the deflections of the transverse lower arm and of the strut have no influence on the position of the rack.
Un autre avantage du dispositif réside dans le fait que l'on peut définir avec facilité la loi de variation de pincement ou d'ouverture de la roue.Another advantage of the device lies in the fact that it is possible to easily define the law of variation of pinching or opening of the wheel.
I1 est à remarquer que la description ne décrit que la moitié du train à jambe de force télescopique. L'invention porte bien entendu sur l'agencement d'un ensemble de deux leviers tels que 23 qui prolongent axialement chaque extrémité de la crémaillère et qui sont rigidement liés à celle -ci. It should be noted that the description only describes half of the telescopic strut train. The invention relates of course to the arrangement of a set of two levers such as 23 which extend axially each end of the rack and which are rigidly connected thereto.
