STEERING BEVEL GEAR ASSEMBLY CONSTITUTING GEAR APPARATUS - [Technical Field] | ol
The present disclosure relates to a steering bevel gear assembly constituting o a gear apparatus in which the rotation direction of the steering bevel gear assembly 2 is changed to have the same rotation direction of the input side and output side, so as to operate normal steering mechanism in the conversion of an existing commercially available right hand drive (RHD) vehicle to a left hand drive (LHD) vehicle. [Background Art]
A steering system is the collection of components controlled when a driver arbitrarily changes the travel direction of a vehicle as intended, and when the driver turns a steering wheel to change the angle of wheels, the vehicle changes the travel direction.
When the driver turns the steering wheel, the turning force is transmitted to a steering gear which then slows down the vehicle to change the direction of the front wheels.
The steering system is a device for steering to arbitrarily change the travel direction of the vehicle, and generally includes three equipment: control equipment, gear equipment, and link equipment. There are two major types of steering systems according to the type of vehicle or suspension; an axle suspension steering system widely used in commercial vehicles, and an independent suspension steering system . widely used in passenger vehicles.
The control equipment is a part that enables the driver to directly control the - steering wheel and transmits the steering force to the steering gear and linkage, and © the control equipment includes the steering wheel, a steering shaft, a steering column - and joints. -
The gear equipment is a part that increases the steering force by reducing the = steering shaft rotation to, for example, about 20:1, and at the same time, changes the | - motion direction of the control equipment and transmits it to the link equipment. The steering gear is largely classified into a ball nut type and a rack pinion type, and small vehicles primarily use the rack pinion type.
The rack pinion steering gear has a structure in which a pinion is installed at the end of the steering shaft and a rack is engaged with the pinion, and when the pinion rotates, the rack moves in lateral direction, and the steering wheel is moved through tie rods connected to two ends of the rack together with knuckles.
The link equipment is a part that transmits the operation of the gear equipment to the front wheels, and correctly supports the relationship position between left and right wheels, and includes the rack engaged with the pinion, the tie rods, and knuckle arms.
Meanwhile, a steering bevel gear assembly constituting the gear equipment performs function to receive the steering wheel rotation from the driver at the input side, change the direction and transmit the rotational force, and the direction of rotation axes is changed by the angle of the input side and output side, allowing bevel gears to mesh.
3 oe
A pair of bevel gears that make up the bevel gear assembly pivot, generally > forming a right angle or an acute angle between the rotation axes. »
Generally, the rotation direction of the pair of bevel gears that make up the - bevel gear assembly is opposite at the input side and output side. That is, if the = input side direction is clockwise, the output side direction is counterclockwise. This - is because of mechanism structure in which the rotation direction of the steering - wheel and the rotational force through the bevel gears are the same as the motion = direction of the rack-pinion gear. ~
Meanwhile, the rotation direction is determined by engagement of the pair of bevel gears arranged at a given angle inside, and input and output side axes lines intersect at 90 degrees, and shafts are formed in a direction opposite to the conical side direction of the bevel gears. This is a common and general combination of bevel gears.
Specifically, when the input side rotates in clockwise direction, the output side rotates in counterclockwise direction, the pinion gear rotates in counterclockwise direction, the tie rods make left-right movements, and the wheels turn right.
Meanwhile, when an existing commercially available right hand drive (RHD) vehicle is converted to a left hand drive (LHD) vehicle, even though each existing vehicle component is used as it is, a rack-pinion gear module is turned upside down at the input side, and as a consequence, the rotation direction of the vehicle may be reversed. [Disclosure] [Technical Problem]
. -
As described above, when a steering bevel gear used in an existing right hand drive (RHD) vehicle is used for a left hand drive (LHD) vehicle, the steering . mechanism does not normally operate.
To operate normal steering mechanism, the present disclosure changes the o rotation direction of the steering bevel gear to make the bevel gear module have the v same rotation direction of the input side and the output side.
To this end, the output side bevel gear has a different position of engagement - with the input side bevel gear from general arrangement. 0
The axis line of the output side bevel gear and the axis line of the input side bevel gear form a right angle in the same way as a general bevel gear, while the output side bevel gear is configured to output in conical side direction.
The steering bevel gear assembly according to the present disclosure is completely different from bevel gear design with a general shaft.
The output side bevel gear shaft has two bearings at the front and rear of the shaft for stable support.
The front cover uses an aluminum casting material in the same way as the gear case, counterpart connectors on input and output side ends of the shaft have involute serration, and connection with the gear case is established by three bolts. [Technical Solution}
To achieve the object, a steering bevel gear assembly constituting a gear apparatus according to the present disclosure includes a gear case 10 to which a rotational force is inputted from a steering wheel of a vehicle, a front cover 20 detachably connected to the gear case 10 to receive the rotational driving force
. - inputted through the gear case 10 and lead to a rotary motion of vehicle wheels, a first bevel gear 30 connected through inside and outside of the gear case 10 to - directly receive the rotational force from the steering wheel of the vehicle, and a - second bevel gear 40 linked to the first bevel gear 30 to receive the rotational force = and connected through inside and outside of the front cover 20, wherein rotation - directions of the first bevel gear 30 and the second bevel gear 40 are equal. .
The front cover 20 includes a steering output section 21 rotatably placed = through which the second bevel gear 40 passes, and a bevel gear through-hole 23 = connected with the gear case 10 and allowing the second bevel gear 40 geared with the first bevel gear 30 to pass therethrough, and the front cover 20 is made by casting a same aluminum material as the gear case 10.
The first bevel gear 30 includes a first bevel gear shaft 31 rotatably placed through the steering input section 11, and a first bevel gear teeth 32 connected on one end of the first bevel gear shaft 31, the second bevel gear 40 includes a second bevel gear shaft 41 rotatably placed through the steering output section 21, and a second bevel gear teeth 42 connected on one end of the second bevel gear shaft 41, and the second bevel gear teeth 42 receives the force from the first bevel gear teeth 32 and outputs it in conical side direction.
The second bevel gear 40 operates with a rear end supported in the gear case 10 and a front end supported on the steering output section 21. [Advantageous Effects]
