Description

この発明は、ステアリングホイールに連動して回転する回転体に、舵角センサを構成するギヤを外嵌して取り付けるための舵角センサの取付構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a steering angle sensor mounting structure for externally mounting a gear constituting a steering angle sensor to a rotating body that rotates in conjunction with a steering wheel.

従来、自動車等の車両において、ステアリングホイールの回転を舵角検出回路に伝達するために、ステアリングホイールに連動して回転するロールコネクタに舵角センサを取り付けることが行われている(特許文献1参照)。 BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, in vehicles such as automobiles, a steering angle sensor is attached to a roll connector that rotates in conjunction with the steering wheel in order to transmit the rotation of the steering wheel to a steering angle detection circuit (see Patent Document 1). ).

ここで、ロールコネクタは円環状の固定ケースとその内側に回転自在に設けられた回転ケースとを備え、ステアリングシャフトの回転軸に連結されたステアリングホイールがロールコネクタの回転ケースと嵌合することで、ロールコネクタの回転ケースがステアリングシャフト(ステアリングホイール)に連動して回転する。一方、舵角センサを構成するリング状のメインギヤがロールコネクタの回転ケースに係合されてステアリングシャフトの回転がメインギヤに伝達され、ロールコネクタの固定ケース内に収納された2個のサブギヤのうち一方がメインギヤに噛合してメインギヤに連動して回転し、この一方のサブギヤの回転が他方のサブギヤに伝達されるように配置されており、両サブギヤの回転に基づいてステアリングシャフト(ステアリングホイール)の回転角度が舵角検出回路により検出される。なお、2個のサブギヤは互いに噛合せずそれぞれメインギヤに噛合する構成もある。 Here, the roll connector includes an annular fixed case and a rotating case rotatably provided inside thereof, and a steering wheel connected to the rotating shaft of the steering shaft is fitted into the rotating case of the roll connector. , The rotating case of the roll connector rotates in conjunction with the steering shaft (steering wheel). On the other hand, the ring-shaped main gear that constitutes the steering angle sensor is engaged with the rotation case of the roll connector, the rotation of the steering shaft is transmitted to the main gear, and one of the two sub gears housed in the fixed case of the roll connector. Is engaged with the main gear and rotates in conjunction with the main gear. The rotation of one of the sub gears is transmitted to the other sub gear, and the rotation of the steering shaft (steering wheel) is based on the rotation of both sub gears. The angle is detected by the steering angle detection circuit. The two sub gears may be in mesh with each other without meshing with each other.

そして、上記したロールコネクタの回転ケースと舵角センサのメインギヤの係合部分は、回転ケースの外側からリング状のメインギヤを装着し、例えばロールコネクタの回転ケースの後端面に形成された複数の凹部それぞれに、舵角センサのメインギヤの内周に形成した複数の凸部それぞれを係合する構造になっている。 And, the engagement portion of the rotation case of the roll connector and the main gear of the steering angle sensor is mounted with a ring-shaped main gear from the outside of the rotation case, and for example, a plurality of recesses formed on the rear end surface of the rotation case of the roll connector. A plurality of convex portions formed on the inner circumference of the main gear of the steering angle sensor are engaged with each of them.

特開2015−108592号公報(段落0018〜0021、図3、図4参照)JP, 2005-108592, A (refer paragraphs 0018-0021, Drawing 3, and Drawing 4).

ところが、上記したロールコネクタへの舵角センサの取付構造の場合、ロールコネクタの回転ケースの回転を舵角センサのメインギヤやサブギヤに伝達するために、ロールコネクタの回転ケース側の凹部と舵角センサのメインギヤ側の凸部との間、舵角センサのメインギヤとこれに噛合するサブギヤとの間、2個のサブギヤ同士の間にそれぞれ必要な遊びが設けられるため、ステアリングホイールが回転してもその回転が舵角検出回路に伝達されないいわゆる「不感帯」が生じ、またこの不感帯は回転ケースと舵角センサのメインギヤとの組付け時の偏心によっても生じ、舵角センサの不感帯の存在とその大小が舵角検出値を利用した車両制御を精度よく行う上で問題になることから、不感帯を極力小さく抑えることが求められている。 However, in the case of the structure for mounting the rudder angle sensor on the roll connector described above, in order to transmit the rotation of the roll case of the roll connector to the main gear and the sub gear of the rudder angle sensor, the recess on the roll case side of the roll connector and the rudder angle sensor are transmitted. Since a required play is provided between the main gear of the steering wheel and the main gear of the steering angle sensor and the sub gear meshing with the main gear of the steering angle sensor, even if the steering wheel rotates, There is a so-called "dead zone" in which rotation is not transmitted to the rudder angle detection circuit, and this dead zone is also caused by eccentricity when the rotating case and the main gear of the rudder angle sensor are assembled. Since it becomes a problem in performing the vehicle control using the steering angle detection value with high accuracy, it is required to keep the dead zone as small as possible.

本発明は、ステアリングに連動して回転するロールコネクタ等の回転体に舵角センサを取り付ける場合に、不感帯を低減できる構造を提供することを目的とする。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a structure capable of reducing a dead zone when a steering angle sensor is attached to a rotating body such as a roll connector which rotates in association with steering.

上記した目的を達成するために、本発明の舵角センサの取付構造は、ステアリングホイールに連動して回転する回転体に、舵角センサを構成するギヤを外嵌して取り付けるための舵角センサの取付構造において、前記回転体に形成された凸部および凹部のいずれか一方から成る回転体側嵌合部と、前記舵角センサの前記ギヤに形成され前記回転体の前記回転体側嵌合部と嵌合する凹部または凸部のいずれか他方から成るセンサ側嵌合部とを備え、前記回転体側嵌合部および前記センサ側嵌合部のうち凹部から成る方は、前記凹部の対向面の間隔が、前記回転体側嵌合部および前記センサ側嵌合部のうち凸部から成る方の幅よりも広く形成され、前記凹部の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置に設けられた弾性を有する一対の弾性部と、前記凹部の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置であって、当該凹部に嵌合した状態における前記凸部の先端側の位置に一体に膨出形成された一対の突出部とを備え、前記両突出部の先端の間隔は、前記凸部の幅よりも広く形成され、前記両弾性部の間隔は、先端に向かうに連れて前記凸部の幅よりも狭くなるように、前記両弾性部が形成されていることを特徴としている。 In order to achieve the above object, the rudder angle sensor mounting structure of the present invention is a rudder angle sensor for externally mounting a gear constituting the rudder angle sensor to a rotating body that rotates in conjunction with a steering wheel. In the mounting structure of, the rotating body side fitting portion formed of any one of a convex portion and a concave portion formed on the rotating body, and the rotating body side fitting portion of the rotating body formed on the gear of the steering angle sensor. A sensor-side fitting portion formed of the other one of the concave portion and the convex portion to be fitted, and one of the rotating body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion that is formed of the concave portion is a gap between the facing surfaces of the concave portion. Is formed wider than the width of one of the rotary body side fitting portion and the sensor side fitting portion formed of a convex portion, and has a pair of elastic members provided at positions facing each other of the facing surfaces of the concave portion. An elastic part and a pair of projecting parts that are integrally bulged at positions facing each other of the facing surfaces of the concave part, and at positions on the tip end side of the convex part when fitted in the concave part. The intervals between the tips of the protrusions are formed to be wider than the width of the protrusions, and the intervals between the elastic portions are narrower than the width of the protrusions toward the ends. It is characterized in that an elastic portion is formed.

このような構成によれば、弾性を有する一対の弾性部の間に、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部が嵌り込む際に、両弾性部が変形することによって両弾性部の先端間が広がり、凸部が両弾性部間に嵌り込み、両弾性部の弾性力によって、嵌り込んだ凸部が両弾性部の先端間に挟持され続け、嵌り込んだ凸部が両弾性部により保持される。 With such a configuration, when the convex portion of the rotating body side fitting portion and the sensor side fitting portion fits between the pair of elastic portions having elasticity, both elastic portions are deformed so that both of the elastic portions are deformed. The tip of the elastic part expands, the convex part fits between both elastic parts, and the elastic force of both elastic parts keeps the fitted convex part sandwiched between the ends of both elastic parts. It is held by both elastic parts.

そのため、回転体側嵌合部に対してセンサ側嵌合部を嵌合したときに、両弾性部の弾性力によって、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部が両弾性部間に嵌り込んで挟持された状態に保持され、ステアリングホイールが回転したときにその回転を舵角検出回路に確実に伝達することができ、ステアリングホイールが回転してもその回転が舵角検出回路に伝達されない不感帯を低減でき、舵角検出値を利用して車両制御を行う際の制御精度の向上を図ることができる。 Therefore, when the sensor-side fitting portion is fitted to the rotating-body-side fitting portion, the convex portions of the rotating-body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion are elastically deformed by the elastic force of both elastic portions. It is held in a state of being sandwiched by being sandwiched, and when the steering wheel rotates, the rotation can be reliably transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit, and even if the steering wheel rotates, the rotation is detected by the steering angle detection circuit. It is possible to reduce the dead zone that is not transmitted to the vehicle and improve the control accuracy when the vehicle control is performed using the steering angle detection value.

また、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうち凹部から成る方の当該凹部の対向面に形成された両突出部の先端の間隔が、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部の幅よりも広く形成されるため、例えば両羽根部の一方または両方が破損しても、ステアリングホイールが回転したときに、凸部がいずれかの突出部に当接してステアリングホイールの回転が伝達されることになり、ステアリングホイールの回転角度が検出できなくなる事態を未然に防止することができる。 In addition, the distance between the tips of the protrusions formed on the facing surface of the concave portion, which is the concave portion of the rotating body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion, is equal to that of the rotating body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion. Since the width is larger than the width of one of the protrusions, even if one or both of the blades is damaged, when the steering wheel rotates, the protrusion contacts one of the protrusions and the steering wheel Therefore, the situation where the rotation angle of the steering wheel cannot be detected can be prevented in advance.

さらに、両弾性部の間隔が、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部の先端側に位置する両突出部に向かうに連れて凸部の幅よりも狭くなるように両弾性部が形成されているため、回転体側嵌合部とセンサ側嵌合部とを嵌合させる際に、両弾性部の間隔の狭まった先端方向に凸部を誘導することができ、嵌合作業を容易に行うことができる。 Further, the distance between the elastic portions is set so as to become narrower than the width of the convex portion toward the both protruding portions located on the tip side of the convex portion of the rotating body side fitting portion and the sensor side fitting portion. Since the elastic part is formed, when fitting the rotating body side fitting part and the sensor side fitting part, it is possible to guide the convex part toward the tip end where the gap between both elastic parts is narrowed, and the fitting operation can be performed. The work can be done easily.

また、本発明の舵角センサの取付構造は、ステアリングホイールに連動して回転する回転体に、舵角センサを構成するギヤを外嵌して取り付けるための舵角センサの取付構造において、前記回転体に形成された凸部および凹部のいずれか一方から成る回転体側嵌合部と、前記舵角センサの前記ギヤに形成され前記回転体の前記回転体側嵌合部と嵌合する凹部または凸部のいずれか他方から成るセンサ側嵌合部とを備え、前記回転体側嵌合部および前記センサ側嵌合部のうち凹部から成る方は、前記凹部の対向面の間隔が、前記回転体側嵌合部および前記センサ側嵌合部のうち凸部から成る方の幅よりも広く形成され、前記凹部の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置に一体に膨出形成された一対の基部と、前記両基部それぞれの先端に一体的に設けられた弾性を有する一対の弾性部とを備え、前記両基部の先端の間隔は、前記凸部の幅よりも広く形成され、前記両弾性部の間隔は、先端に向かうに連れて前記凸部の幅よりも狭くなっているとよい。 Further, the rudder angle sensor mounting structure of the present invention is the rudder angle sensor mounting structure for externally mounting a gear constituting the rudder angle sensor on a rotating body that rotates in conjunction with a steering wheel, wherein: A rotating body side fitting portion formed of one of a convex portion and a concave portion formed on the body, and a concave portion or a convex portion formed on the gear of the steering angle sensor and fitted to the rotating body side fitting portion of the rotating body. The sensor-side fitting portion made of the other one of the above, and the one of the rotating-body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion that is formed of a recess is such that the interval between the facing surfaces of the recess is the rotor-side fitting portion. Of the base portion and the sensor-side fitting portion, the pair of base portions being formed to be wider than the width of the convex portion and integrally bulging at positions facing each other of the facing surfaces of the recessed portion, and the both base portions. A pair of elastic portions integrally provided at each tip is provided, and the distance between the tips of the both bases is formed wider than the width of the convex portion. It is preferable that the width becomes smaller than the width of the convex portion as it goes to.

このような構成によれば、弾性を有する一対の弾性部の間に、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部が嵌り込む際に、両弾性部が変形することによって両弾性部の先端間が広がり、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部が両弾性部間に嵌り込み、両弾性部のばね力によって、嵌り込んだ凸部に両弾性部が当接状態を保持し続け、嵌り込んだ凸部が両弾性部により保持されるため、回転体側嵌合部に対してセンサ側嵌合部を嵌合したときに、両弾性部のばね力によって、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部を嵌り込んだ状態に保持でき、ステアリングホイールが回転したときにその回転を舵角検出回路に確実に伝達することが可能になって不感帯を低減することができ、舵角検出値を利用して車両制御を行う際の制御精度の向上を図ることができる。 According to such a configuration, when the convex portion of the rotating body side fitting portion and the sensor side fitting portion fits between the pair of elastic portions, both elastic portions are deformed, so that The tip of the elastic part expands, the convex part of the rotating part side fitting part and the sensor side fitting part fits between both elastic parts, and the elastic force of both elastic parts causes both elastic parts to fit into the fitted convex part. Keeps contacting, and the protruding part that is fitted is held by both elastic parts, so when the sensor side fitting part is fitted to the rotating body side fitting part, the spring force of both elastic parts With this, it is possible to hold the convex portion of the rotating body side fitting portion and the sensor side fitting portion in a fitted state, and to reliably transmit the rotation to the steering angle detection circuit when the steering wheel rotates. Therefore, the dead zone can be reduced, and the control accuracy when performing vehicle control using the steering angle detection value can be improved.

また、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置に一対の基部が一体に膨出して形成され、これら両基部の先端の間隔は、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部の幅よりも広く形成されているため、両基部それぞれの先端に一体的に設けられた弾性を有する一対の弾性部の一方または両方が破損しても、ステアリングホイールが回転したときに、凸部がいずれかの基部に当接してステアリングホイールの回転が伝達されることになり、ステアリングホイールの回転角度が検出できなくなる事態を未然に防止することが可能になる。 In addition, a pair of bases are integrally formed so as to bulge at positions facing each other of the facing surfaces of the convex portion of the rotor-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion. Since it is formed wider than the width of the convex portion of the body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion, one or both of the pair of elastic portions integrally provided at the tips of both base portions and having elasticity. Even if it is damaged, when the steering wheel rotates, the convex part will contact one of the bases and the rotation of the steering wheel will be transmitted, preventing the situation where the rotation angle of the steering wheel cannot be detected. It becomes possible to do.

本発明によれば、回転体側嵌合部に対してセンサ側嵌合部を嵌合したときに、両弾性部の弾性力によって、回転体側嵌合部およびセンサ側嵌合部のうちの凸部を凹部に嵌り込んで両弾性部間に挟持された状態に保持できるため、ステアリングホイールが回転してもその回転が舵角検出回路に伝達されない不感帯を低減することができる。その結果、ステアリングホイールが回転したときにその回転を舵角検出回路に確実に伝達することができ、舵角検出値を利用して車両制御を行う際の制御精度の向上を図ることが可能になる。 According to the present invention, when the sensor-side fitting portion is fitted to the rotating-body-side fitting portion, the protrusions of the rotating-body-side fitting portion and the sensor-side fitting portion are generated by the elastic forces of both elastic portions. Can be retained in a state of being sandwiched between both elastic portions by being fitted in the recessed portion, so that even if the steering wheel rotates, the dead zone in which the rotation is not transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit can be reduced. As a result, when the steering wheel rotates, the rotation can be reliably transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit, and it is possible to improve the control accuracy when performing vehicle control using the steering angle detection value.

本発明に係る舵角センサの取付構造の第1実施形態について、図1ないし図6を参照して詳細に説明する。
<First Embodiment>
A first embodiment of a steering angle sensor mounting structure according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 1 to 6.

本実施形態における舵角センサの取付構造は、図1に示すように、ステアリングホイール1の回転を舵角検出回路に伝達するために、ステアリングホイール1に連動して回転する回転体であるロールコネクタ2に舵角センサ3を取り付けるものである。 As shown in FIG. 1, the steering angle sensor mounting structure of the present embodiment is a roll connector that is a rotating body that rotates in conjunction with the steering wheel 1 in order to transmit the rotation of the steering wheel 1 to a steering angle detection circuit. The rudder angle sensor 3 is attached to 2.

ロールコネクタ2は、円環状の固定ケース2aと、固定ケース2aの内周側に回転自在に設けられた円筒部を有する回転ケース2bとを備え、ステアリングシャフトの回転軸に連結されたステアリングホイール1がロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2bと嵌合されることにより、ロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2bがステアリングシャフト(ステアリングホイール1)に連動して回転する。 The roll connector 2 includes an annular fixed case 2a and a rotating case 2b having a cylindrical portion rotatably provided on the inner peripheral side of the fixed case 2a, and the steering wheel 1 is connected to a rotating shaft of a steering shaft. Is fitted to the rotation case 2b of the roll connector 2, the rotation case 2b of the roll connector 2 rotates in conjunction with the steering shaft (steering wheel 1).

舵角センサ3は、図2に示すように、リング状のメインギヤ3aと、メインギヤ3aに噛合するメインギヤ3aよりも小径の第1サブギヤ3bと、メインギヤ3aよりも小径で第1サブギヤ3bに噛合する第2サブギヤ3cとを備える。 As shown in FIG. 2, the steering angle sensor 3 meshes with a ring-shaped main gear 3a, a first subgear 3b that meshes with the main gear 3a and has a smaller diameter than the main gear 3a, and a smaller diameter than the main gear 3a with the first subgear 3b. The second sub gear 3c is provided.

そして、メインギヤ3aがロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2bに係合されてステアリングシャフトの回転がメインギヤ3aに伝達され、メインギヤ3aに連動して第1サブギヤ3bが回転して、この第1サブギヤ3bの回転が第2サブギヤ3cに伝達され、両サブギヤ3b,3cの回転に基づいてステアリングシャフトつまりステアリングホイール1の回転角度が舵角検出回路により検出されるようになっている。なお、第1、第2サブギヤ3b,3cが互いに噛合せず、両サブギヤ3b、3cそれぞれがメインギヤ3aに噛合するものであってもよい。 Then, the main gear 3a is engaged with the rotation case 2b of the roll connector 2, the rotation of the steering shaft is transmitted to the main gear 3a, the first sub gear 3b rotates in conjunction with the main gear 3a, and the rotation of the first sub gear 3b rotates. Is transmitted to the second sub gear 3c, and the rotation angle of the steering shaft, that is, the steering wheel 1 is detected by the steering angle detection circuit based on the rotation of both the sub gears 3b and 3c. The first and second sub gears 3b and 3c may not mesh with each other, and the sub gears 3b and 3c may mesh with the main gear 3a.

ところで、上記したように、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aはロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2bに係合して取り付けられるが、その取付構造として、ロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2b側に形成された回転体側嵌合部としての凹部と、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3a側に形成されたセンサ側嵌合部としての凸部との組み合わせが採用されている。 By the way, as described above, the main gear 3a of the rudder angle sensor 3 is attached by engaging with the rotating case 2b of the roll connector 2, and the mounting structure thereof is the rotor side formed on the rotating case 2b side of the roll connector 2. A combination of a concave portion as a fitting portion and a convex portion as a sensor side fitting portion formed on the main gear 3a side of the steering angle sensor 3 is adopted.

具体的には、図2に示すように、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aの内周であって、180°ずれた相対向する2箇所に2個の凸部31,32が中心に向かって突出するように植設され、図3に示すように、ロールコネクタ2の回転ケース2bの後端面の180°ずれた相対向する2箇所に2個の凹部21,22が形成され、メインギヤ3aの一方の凸部31が、回転ケース2bの一方の凹部21に嵌合するとともに、メインギヤ3aの他方の凸部32が、回転ケース2bの他方の凹部22に嵌合する構造になっている。なお、凸部31,32は、図3、図4に示すような直方体であるのが望ましいが、直方体状に限るものではない。 Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, two protrusions 31 and 32 project toward the center on the inner circumference of the main gear 3a of the steering angle sensor 3 at two opposite positions that are offset by 180°. As shown in FIG. 3, two recesses 21 and 22 are formed on the rear end surface of the rotating case 2b of the roll connector 2 facing each other and shifted by 180°. The convex portion 31 of the main gear 3a is fitted into the concave portion 21 of the rotating case 2b, and the convex portion 32 of the main gear 3a is fitted into the concave portion 22 of the rotating case 2b. The convex portions 31 and 32 are preferably rectangular parallelepipeds as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, but are not limited to rectangular parallelepiped shapes.

このとき、メインギヤ3a側の凸部31,32は、図2に示すように、正面視で他方の凸部32が一方の凹部21よりも幅広に形成され、回転ケース2b側の凹部21,22は正面視でほぼ同じ幅に形成され、回転ケース2b側の他方の凹部22は、正面視でメインギヤ3a側の他方の凸部32よりも少しだけ幅広に形成されており、その結果、回転ケース2b側の一方の凹部21の対向面の間隔は、凹部22と同様、メインギヤ3a側の一方の凸部31の正面視の幅よりも広く形成されている。 At this time, in the convex portions 31 and 32 on the main gear 3a side, as shown in FIG. 2, the convex portion 32 on the other side is formed wider than the concave portion 21 on one side in a front view, and the concave portions 21 and 22 on the rotating case 2b side are formed. Are formed to have substantially the same width when viewed from the front, and the other recess 22 on the side of the rotating case 2b is formed to be slightly wider than the other projection 32 on the side of the main gear 3a when viewed from the front. The interval between the facing surfaces of the one concave portion 21 on the 2b side is formed to be wider than the width of the one convex portion 31 on the main gear 3a side in a front view, like the concave portion 22.

そして、回転ケース2b側の一方の凹部21には、図3に示すように、凹部21の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置に、一対の係合片5a,5bの根元部分である基部5a1,5b1が一体に植設され、係合片5a,5bそれぞれの弾性を有する先端の弾性部5a2,5b2が基部5a1,5b1それぞれに一体にハ字状を成すように形成され、凹部21の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置であって、嵌合状態のメインギヤ3a側の凸部31の先端側の位置に、一対の突出部6a,6bが一体に膨出形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 3, one of the recesses 21 on the side of the rotating case 2b has a base portion 5a1, which is a root portion of the pair of engaging pieces 5a, 5b, at positions facing each other on the facing surfaces of the recess portion 21, respectively. 5b1 is integrally implanted, and elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 at the tips having elasticity of the engaging pieces 5a and 5b are formed in the base portions 5a1 and 5b1 so as to form an inverted V shape. A pair of protrusions 6a and 6b are integrally formed to bulge at the positions facing each other and at the tip end side of the protrusion 31 on the main gear 3a side in the fitted state.

さらに、両突出部6a,6bの先端の間隔w1は、メインギヤ3a側の一方の凸部31の正面視の幅w2よりも広く形成され、両係合片5a,5bそれぞれの弾性部5a2,5b2は、先に向かうに連れて狭まってハ字状を成すように、基部5a1,5b1それぞれに一体形成されている。そして、両係合片5a,5bの弾性部5a2,5b2の先端間の間隔は、嵌合した状態のメインギヤ3a側の凸部31の正面視の幅w2よりも狭くなっている。 Further, the interval w1 between the tips of the both protruding portions 6a and 6b is formed wider than the width w2 of the one protruding portion 31 on the main gear 3a side in a front view, and the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 of the respective engaging pieces 5a and 5b. Is formed integrally with each of the base portions 5a1 and 5b1 so as to become narrower toward the front and form a V shape. The distance between the tips of the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 of the engagement pieces 5a, 5b is narrower than the width w2 of the convex portion 31 on the main gear 3a side in the fitted state in a front view.

このように、一対の係合片5a,5bの間に、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aの凸部31が嵌り込む際に、両係合片5a,5bの先端の弾性部5a2,5b2が図5中の1点鎖線の状態から実線の状態に変形し、これによって両弾性部5a2,5b2間が凸部31の幅w2以上に広がり、メインギヤ3aの凸部31が両弾性部5a2,5b2を押し広げて弾性部5a2,5b2間に嵌り込む。そして、両弾性部5a2,5b2の弾性力によって、嵌り込んだ凸部31が両弾性部5a2,5b2間に挟持され続けることになり、凸部31が位置ずれを生じることなく両弾性部5a2,5b2間に保持される。 Thus, when the convex portion 31 of the main gear 3a of the steering angle sensor 3 is fitted between the pair of engagement pieces 5a and 5b, the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 at the tips of both engagement pieces 5a and 5b are drawn. The state of the one-dot chain line in 5 is deformed to the state of the solid line, whereby the space between both elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 becomes wider than the width w2 of the convex portion 31, and the convex portion 31 of the main gear 3a displaces both elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2. Push it apart and fit it between the elastic parts 5a2 and 5b2. Then, due to the elastic force of both the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2, the fitted convex portion 31 continues to be sandwiched between the both elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2, and the convex portion 31 does not cause a positional displacement and the both elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2. Held between 5b2.

そして、凸部31が両係合片5a,5bの先端の弾性部5a2,5b2間に挟持されるため、ステアリングホイール1が回転したときに、舵角センサ3を介して舵角検出回路にステアリングホイール1の回転を確実に伝達することができ、ステアリングホイール1が回転してもその回転が舵角検出回路に伝達されない不感帯を低減することが可能になり、舵角検出値を利用して車両制御を行う際の制御精度の向上を図ることができる。 Then, since the convex portion 31 is sandwiched between the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 at the tips of both the engaging pieces 5a and 5b, when the steering wheel 1 rotates, the steering angle sensor 3 causes the steering angle detection circuit to perform steering. The rotation of the wheel 1 can be reliably transmitted, and even if the steering wheel 1 rotates, it is possible to reduce the dead zone in which the rotation is not transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit. It is possible to improve control accuracy when performing control.

また、図4に示すように、一方の凹部21に形成された両突出部6a,6bの先端の間隔w1が、メインギヤ3a側の凸部31の正面視の幅w2(<w1)よりも広く形成されているため、図6に示すように、例えば両係合片5a,5bのうち一方の弾性部5a2が基部5a1から分離するように破損した状態でステアリングホイール1が回転したときに、凸部31がほとんど遊びなく一方の突出部6aに当接するため、ステアリングホイール1の回転が舵角センサ3側に伝達され続けることになり、ステアリングホイール1の回転角度が検出できないという事態の発生が防止される。 In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the distance w1 between the tips of the protrusions 6a and 6b formed in the one recess 21 is wider than the width w2 (<w1) of the protrusion 31 on the main gear 3a side in a front view. Since it is formed, as shown in FIG. 6, when the steering wheel 1 rotates while the elastic portion 5a2 of one of the engagement pieces 5a and 5b is damaged so as to be separated from the base portion 5a1, the protrusion is formed. Since the portion 31 comes into contact with the one protruding portion 6a with almost no play, the rotation of the steering wheel 1 is continuously transmitted to the steering angle sensor 3 side, and the situation in which the rotation angle of the steering wheel 1 cannot be detected is prevented. To be done.

さらに、両係合片5a,5bの弾性部5a2,5b2の間隔が、先端に向かうに連れて狭まるように両弾性部5a2,5b2が形成されているため、回転ケース2bとメインギヤ3aとを嵌合させる際に、図4の太線矢印に示すように、凸部31を両弾性部5a2,5b2の先端方向に誘導することができ、嵌合作業を容易に行うことができる。 Further, since the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 are formed such that the distance between the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 of the engaging pieces 5a, 5b becomes narrower toward the tip, the rotary case 2b and the main gear 3a are fitted together. When mating, as shown by the thick arrow in FIG. 4, the convex portion 31 can be guided toward the distal ends of the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2, and the fitting operation can be easily performed.

したがって、上記した第1実施形態によれば、回転体側嵌合部である凹部21に対して、センサ側嵌合部である舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aの凸部31を嵌合したときに、両弾性部5a2,5b2の弾性力によって、凸部31が凹部21に嵌り込んで両弾性部5a2,5b2間に挟持された状態に保持することができるため、ステアリングホイール1が回転してもその回転が舵角検出回路に伝達されない不感帯を低減することができ、ステアリングホイール1が回転したときに、舵角センサ3を介して舵角検出回路にステアリングホイール1の回転を確実に伝達することが可能になり、舵角検出値を利用して車両制御を行う際の制御精度の向上を図ることができる。 Therefore, according to the above-described first embodiment, when the convex portion 31 of the main gear 3a of the steering angle sensor 3 which is the sensor side fitting portion is fitted into the concave portion 21 which is the rotating body side fitting portion, Since the convex portion 31 can be fitted into the concave portion 21 and held between the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 by the elastic force of the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2, even if the steering wheel 1 rotates, The dead zone in which the rotation is not transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit can be reduced, and when the steering wheel 1 rotates, the rotation of the steering wheel 1 can be reliably transmitted to the steering angle detection circuit via the steering angle sensor 3. This makes it possible to improve the control accuracy when performing vehicle control using the detected steering angle value.

また、凹部21に形成された両突出部6a,6bの先端の間隔w1が、メインギヤ3a側の凸部31の幅w2(<w1)よりも広いため、凸部31が嵌り込んだときに、両弾性部5a2,5b2のたわみ量を両弾性部5a2,5b2が破損しない程度に制限することができ、仮に両係合片5a,5bのうち、例えば一方の弾性部5a2が基部5a1から分離するように破損しても、ステアリングホイール1が回転したときに凸部31が遊びなく一方の突出部6aに当接して、ステアリングホイール1の回転が伝達され続けることから、ステアリングホイール1の回転角度が検出できないという不測の事態を未然に防止することができる。 Further, since the distance w1 between the tips of the protrusions 6a and 6b formed in the recess 21 is wider than the width w2 (<w1) of the protrusion 31 on the main gear 3a side, when the protrusion 31 is fitted, The amount of deflection of both elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 can be limited to the extent that both elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 are not damaged, and for example, one elastic portion 5a2 of both engaging pieces 5a, 5b is separated from the base portion 5a1. Even if the steering wheel 1 is damaged as described above, when the steering wheel 1 rotates, the convex portion 31 contacts the one protruding portion 6a without play, and the rotation of the steering wheel 1 is continuously transmitted. It is possible to prevent an unexpected situation that cannot be detected.

さらに、両係合片5a,5bの先端の弾性部5a2,5b2の間隔が、先端に向かうに連れて狭まっているため、回転ケース2bとメインギヤ3aとを嵌合させる際に、メインギヤ3a側の凸部31を、凹部31内側の両弾性部5a2,5b2の先端方向に誘導することができるので、回転ケース2bとメインギヤ3aとの嵌合作業を容易に行うことができる。 Further, since the distance between the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 at the tips of the engaging pieces 5a, 5b becomes narrower toward the tips, when the rotating case 2b and the main gear 3a are fitted, the main gear 3a side is fitted. Since the convex portion 31 can be guided toward the distal ends of the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 inside the concave portion 31, the fitting operation between the rotating case 2b and the main gear 3a can be easily performed.

<第2実施形態>
次に、本発明の第2実施形態について図7、図8を参照して説明する。なお、図7、図8において、上記した第1実施形態と同一符号は同一もしくは相当するものを示し、以下では主として第1実施形態と異なる点について説明することとする。
<Second Embodiment>
Next, a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS. 7 and 8, the same reference numerals as those in the above-described first embodiment indicate the same or corresponding ones, and the points different from the first embodiment will be mainly described below.

第2実施形態では、図7に示すように、回転ケース2bの凹部21には突出部6a,6bを形成しておらず、基部5a1,5b1、および、基部5a1,5b1それぞれに一体に連続形成された弾性を有する弾性部5a2,5b2を有する係合片5a,5bを、凹部21の対向面それぞれの互いに対向する位置に設けたことが、上記した第1の実施形態と相違する。 In the second embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the protrusions 6a and 6b are not formed in the recess 21 of the rotating case 2b, and the bases 5a1 and 5b1 and the bases 5a1 and 5b1 are integrally formed continuously. The engaging pieces 5a and 5b having the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 having the elastic elasticity are provided at the positions facing each other on the facing surfaces of the recess 21, which is different from the above-described first embodiment.

このとき、係合片5a,5bそれぞれの基部5a1,5b1の先端の間隔w3が、メインギヤ3a側の凸部31の正面視の幅w2(<w3)よりも広く形成され、係合片5a,5bそれぞれの弾性を有する弾性部5a2,5b2の先端間の間隔が、凸部31の正面視の幅w2の幅よりも小さくなるように弾性部5a2,5b2が形成されている。 At this time, the interval w3 between the tips of the bases 5a1 and 5b1 of the engagement pieces 5a and 5b is formed wider than the width w2 (<w3) of the convex portion 31 on the main gear 3a side in a front view. The elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 are formed such that the interval between the tips of the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 having elasticity of 5b is smaller than the width w2 of the convex portion 31 in front view.

そして、突出部6a,6bがなくても、図8に示すように、例えば両係合片5a,5bのうち例えば一方の弾性部5a2が基部5a1から分離するように破損したときに、ステアリングホイール1が回転すると凸部31が一方の係合片5aの基部5a1の先端に当接するため、ステアリングホイール1の回転を舵角センサ3側に伝達し続けることができる。ここで、係合片5a,5bの先端の弾性部5a2,5b2が破損したときに備え、基部5a1,5b1は突出部6a,6bが形成された第1実施形態の場合よりも太く頑丈に形成しておくのが望ましい。 Even if the protruding portions 6a and 6b are not provided, as shown in FIG. 8, for example, when one elastic portion 5a2 of the both engaging pieces 5a and 5b is damaged so as to be separated from the base portion 5a1, the steering wheel is damaged. When 1 rotates, the convex portion 31 contacts the tip of the base portion 5a1 of the one engagement piece 5a, so that the rotation of the steering wheel 1 can be continuously transmitted to the steering angle sensor 3 side. Here, in case the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 at the tips of the engaging pieces 5a, 5b are damaged, the base portions 5a1, 5b1 are formed thicker and stronger than in the first embodiment in which the protruding portions 6a, 6b are formed. It is desirable to keep it.

また、両係合片5a,5bの先端の弾性部5a2,5b2の間隔が、先端に向かうに連れて狭まるように両弾性部5a2,5b2が形成されているため、回転ケース2bとメインギヤ3aとを嵌合させる際に、図7の太線矢印に示すように、凸部31を両弾性部5a2,5b2の先端方向に誘導することができる。 Further, since the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 are formed such that the distance between the elastic portions 5a2, 5b2 at the tips of the engaging pieces 5a, 5b becomes narrower toward the tips, the rotating case 2b and the main gear 3a are When they are fitted together, as shown by the thick arrow in FIG. 7, the convex portion 31 can be guided toward the tip ends of the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2.

したがって、上記した第2実施形態によれば、第1実施形態と同等の効果を得ることができる。 Therefore, according to the second embodiment described above, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.

なお、本発明は上記した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その趣旨を逸脱しない限りにおいて上述したもの以外に種々の変更を行なうことが可能である。例えば、回転体は、上記したロールコネクタ2に限定されるものではない。 The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and various modifications other than those described above can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the rotating body is not limited to the roll connector 2 described above.

また、上記した実施形態では、2個の凹部21,22および2個の凸部31,32を、それぞれ回転ケース2bおよびメインギヤ3aの180°ずれた対向位置に形成した例について説明したが、2個の凹部21,22および2個の凸部31,32の形成位置は、必ずしも180°ずれている必要はなく異なる位置に形成されていればよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, an example has been described in which the two concave portions 21 and 22 and the two convex portions 31 and 32 are formed at the opposite positions of the rotating case 2b and the main gear 3a that are offset by 180°, respectively. The formation positions of the concave portions 21 and 22 and the convex portions 31 and 32 do not necessarily need to be shifted by 180° and may be formed at different positions.

また、上記した実施形態において、2個の凹部21,22の両方に弾性部5a2,5b2を有する係合片5a,5bを形成してもよい。さらに、弾性部5a2,5b2を有する凹部21と同様の凹部を、回転ケース2bに3個以上形成してもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the engaging pieces 5a and 5b having the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 may be formed in both of the two recesses 21 and 22. Further, three or more recesses similar to the recesses 21 having the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 may be formed in the rotating case 2b.

また、上記した実施形態では、弾性部5a2,5b2を、ハ字状を成す形状のものとして説明したが、それぞれく字状や円弧状を成す形状に形成されていてもよく、要するに両弾性部5a2,5b2の途中で間隔が最も狭くなり、その間隔が凸部31の正面視の幅w2よりも狭くなるような形状であればよく、弾性部5a2,5b2の先端が凹部21の内面に繋がるように弾性部5亜2,5b2が形成されていてもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 are described as having a V-shape, but they may be formed in a V shape or an arc shape, respectively. The shape may be such that the gap is the narrowest in the middle of 5a2 and 5b2 and the gap is narrower than the width w2 of the convex portion 31 in front view, and the tips of the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 are connected to the inner surface of the concave portion 21. Thus, the elastic portions 5 and 2 and 5b2 may be formed.

また、上記した第1実施形態において、係合片5a,5bは、基部5a1,5b1がなく弾性部5a2,5b2のみから成る構成であってもよい。 Further, in the above-described first embodiment, the engagement pieces 5a and 5b may be configured to include only the elastic portions 5a2 and 5b2 without the base portions 5a1 and 5b1.

また、上記した実施形態では、回転ケースに2bに凹部を、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aに凸部を形成した場合について説明したが、回転ケースに2bに凸部を、舵角センサ3のメインギヤ3aに凹部を形成してもよい。 Further, in the above-described embodiment, the case where the concave portion is formed in the rotating case 2b and the convex portion is formed in the main gear 3a of the steering angle sensor 3 has been described, but the convex portion is formed in the rotating case 2b and the main gear of the steering angle sensor 3 is described. You may form a recessed part in 3a.

そして、本発明は、ステアリングホイールに連動して回転する回転体に舵角センサを取り付ける部分に適用することができる。 Further, the present invention can be applied to a portion where the steering angle sensor is attached to the rotating body that rotates in conjunction with the steering wheel.
