The speed reducer of the electric power assist steering apparatus having the above structure controls the driving of the motor by the electronic control unit provided in the vehicle according to the driving condition of the vehicle, and the rotation of the worm shaft by the driving of the motor is controlled by the steering wheel And is transmitted to the steering shaft in addition to the rotational force, so that the steering operation state of the driver can be maintained smoothly and stably.
However, the reduction gear of the conventional electric power assist steering device has a problem in that manufacturing errors and assembly errors accumulate on the coupling portion of the worm shaft and the motor shaft, causing a bearing jam and increasing rotational resistance of the worm shaft, and also a worm and a worm wheel. When this durability progresses, play occurs due to abrasion, rattle noise occurs due to backlash, and shock caused by the rattle noise caused by the impact transmitted through the wheels and the steering shaft from the road surface to cause discomfort to the driver when operating the steering wheel. There was this.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to reduce the rattle noise caused by an increase in backlash caused by wear of a worm and a worm wheel, The purpose of the present invention is to increase the sense of driver's steering by reducing the sense of hanging and turning resistance of the worm shaft bearing.
In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention includes a worm shaft bearing having a worm formed at its center and supporting rotation at both ends thereof so as to absorb vibration and noise generated by friction and wear during operation of the worm and the worm wheel. A worm shaft coupled to the outer circumferential surface of one end or both ends to which the worm shaft bearing is coupled; A gear housing accommodating the gear mechanism including the worm shaft, the worm shaft bearing, and the worm wheel; And a damper coupled between the opposite end of the motor shaft connection portion of the worm shaft and the gear housing to support the worm shaft in an axial direction.
In addition, an embodiment of the present invention, in the electric power assist steering device for assisting the steering force of the steering wheel via the reducer and the motor, the reducer, vibration and noise generated by friction and wear during operation of the worm and worm wheel The worm shaft has a worm formed therein, and a worm shaft bearing for supporting rotation at both ends thereof is coupled to the center thereof, and a dustproof member is provided at an outer circumferential surface of one end or both ends to which the worm shaft bearing is coupled; A gear housing accommodating the gear mechanism including the worm shaft, the worm shaft bearing, and the worm wheel; And a damper coupled between the opposite end of the motor shaft connection portion of the worm shaft and the gear housing to support the worm shaft in an axial direction.
According to the present invention, it is possible to reduce rattle noise caused by an increase in backlash due to wear of a worm and a worm wheel, or a rattling noise caused by an impact transmitted through a wheel and a steering shaft from a road surface, Thereby increasing the steering feeling of the vehicle.
