Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a steering column of a motor vehicle. More specifically, in the steering column of the vehicle, telescopic operation is possible without the need for additional parts, and at the same time, the second bolt absorbs the collision energy compared to the prior art by absorbing the impact while the tilt bolt breaks and deforms the inner tube during the collision of the vehicle. It is related to the steering column of the automobile that can continue to improve the collision performance, reduce the number of parts, as well as the assembly process and cost.
In general, the steering column is a device that is formed to surround the steering shaft that transmits the rotational force generated by the driver's steering wheel to the rack-pinion mechanism part to support the rotation of the steering shaft, and is fixed to the steering shaft by being coupled to the vehicle body through the bracket. .
The steering column has a collapsing function in which both the steering column and the steering shaft are contracted in the axial direction in order to prevent the driver's upper body from being injured by the steering wheel in case of a car collision. Shock absorbing steering columns are being applied. That is, when a collision accident occurs while driving a car, the upper body of the driver hits the steering wheel by inertia. When the upper body of the driver hits the steering wheel, the steering column and the steering shaft provided at the lower part of the steering wheel contract. It is to reduce the shock received.
However, the impact that the driver exerts on the steering wheel is different according to the driver's condition and the driving condition of the vehicle. For example, when the speed of the car is fast, the impact is large, and when the speed of the car is slow, the impact may be weak. have. In addition, the amount of impact applied to the steering wheel will vary according to various situations such as whether the driver's seat belt is worn and the air bag is operated.
Therefore, in order to cope with such a situation, a steering apparatus having a capsule for absorbing primary impact energy and a tearing plate for absorbing secondary impact energy has been developed and used.

As shown in these figures, the
In addition, the
When the
However, as described above, in the case of the steering column of the related art, there was a structural problem in which a primary collision energy absorbing part such as a capsule and a secondary collision energy absorbing part such as a tearing plate were required separately. There was a problem such as an increase in the number of parts and work process for assembling.
In addition, the shock absorbing method by breaking of the tearing groove, which forms a groove of a constant depth when the secondary load is absorbed by the tearing plate after the primary load is absorbed by the capsule, is complicated to manufacture the product, and the deformation is vertically generated. There was a problem that the left and right deviation of the load caused by the interference with the component occurs.
Accordingly, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned background, in the steering column of the vehicle, it is possible to operate the tele without additional parts, and at the same time has a structure that absorbs the collision energy when the collision of the vehicle has a collision compared to the prior art The energy absorption is sustained to improve the collision performance, and the purpose is to reduce the number of parts, the assembly process and the cost.
In order to achieve the above object, an embodiment of the present invention includes an inner tube having a telescope guide hole formed in an axial direction so as to define an operation section during telescope operation of a steering column, and an insertion coupling to an outer circumferential surface of the inner tube. An outer tube having a fastening hole penetrating an inner circumferential surface and an outer circumferential surface of a portion corresponding to the telescope guide hole, and coupled to the fastening hole and supported at both ends of the telescope guide hole when the telescope is operated It provides a steering column of a vehicle configured to include a shock absorbing member that breaks by the telescope guide hole or breaks the telescope guide hole and absorbs collision energy during a collision.
As described above, according to the present invention, the teles operation can be performed without the need for additional parts, and at the same time, by absorbing the collision energy during the collision of the vehicle, the collision energy absorption is continued compared to the prior art, thereby improving the collision performance. This reduces the assembly costs and reduces the assembly process and costs.
