Definitions
- the invention relates to an adjustable motor vehicle steering column with a steering column receiving the steering wheel at its upper free end, a central steering shaft connected to the steering column via a universal joint and a lower steering shaft connected to a steering gear, connected to the central steering shaft via a second universal joint, the lower steering shaft with the
- Steering gear is connected via a further third universal joint and / or one of the steering shafts is long displaceable in itself.
- steering column strands are usually used, which consist of an upper steering column and a lower one
- Steering shaft exist, the steering column and steering shaft are connected by means of a universal joint and the lower steering shaft is usually also articulated on a steering gear with a universal joint. Since the upper steering column is usually fixed on the body side and the steering gear is itself firmly connected to the body, there are no difficulties with regard to a defined installation position of the entire steering column train.
- Motor vehicle steering column strands of the generic type described at the outset has been developed.
- these steering column strands have an additional steering shaft, which requires the connection to the further steering shaft by means of a universal joint to ensure the overall function, or in which, due to the fixed arrangement of the additional steering shaft on the steering gear, there must be a longitudinal displacement within the motor vehicle steering column strand.
- the steering column train has a bearing unit for fixing one of the steering shafts to a body-fixed bracket, the bearing unit as a support bearing by a spherical cap bearing enables an inclined position of the mounted steering shaft.
- the design of the motor vehicle steering column assembly according to the invention makes it possible to also arrange adjustable steering column assemblies equipped with two steering shafts within the body in a defined manner.
- the mounting, which is fixed to the body, also facilitates the assembly of the steering column assembly by means of a defined, predefined installation position.
- relatively large swivel angles of the steering column train can be realized, since the position of the universal joint points in the second intermediate steering shaft is variable.
- the bearing unit with the spherical cap bearing prefferably arranged displaceably on the steering shaft in its longitudinal axis. In this way, an additional degree of freedom is created for the adjustment of the steering column, the bearing unit specifying the direction of the adjustment.
- the bearing unit enables a rotational movement of the steering shaft about its central axis by means of a rotary bearing integrated in the spherical cap bearing.
- the upper region of the steering column train can be adapted to special design requirements within the motor vehicle.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the steering column train according to the invention.
- FIG. 2 shows an enlarged illustration in section of the special bearing unit according to the invention of the motor vehicle steering column train from FIG. 1
- 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a further embodiment of the bearing unit of the steering column train
- FIG. 4 another embodiment of the bearing unit from FIG. 3 with a modified housing configuration.
- FIG. 1 The overall view of the motor vehicle steering column train according to the invention in FIG. 1 makes it clear that these have as essential elements a steering column 1, a central steering shaft 2 with a bearing unit 3 arranged thereon and a lower steering shaft 4.
- the steering column 1, middle steering shaft 2 and lower steering shaft 4 are connected to each other by universal joints 5 and 6.
- the universal free end 5 of the steering column 1 facing away from the universal joint 5 is a receptacle 7 for a steering wheel (not shown in detail here).
- the steering column 1 has two brackets 8 and 9 for connecting the steering column 1 to the body of the motor vehicle.
- the lower steering shaft 4 is constructed in such a way that it is constructed from a hollow tube 10 and a counter tube 11 arranged displaceably therein.
- the free end of the counter tube 11, which is not inserted into the hollow tube 10, has a connection component 12 for connecting the lower steering shaft 4 to a conventional steering gear, not shown here.
- the connection component 12 can of course also be designed as an additional universal joint, depending on the design and structural requirements.
- the installation of the motor vehicle steering column shown in Figure 1 is provided so that the area of the lower steering shaft 4 with the universal joint 6 and the associated central steering shaft 2 to the bearing unit 3 is outside the passenger compartment of the motor vehicle.
- the bearing unit 3 is arranged in the floor or wall area of the interior and is covered by a cover 13 in the direction of the interior.
- This cover 13 can be designed as a plastic element with snap lugs 14 arranged thereon, in order to enable easy mounting of the cover 13.
- the internal structure of the bearing unit 3 can be seen in more detail from FIG.
- the bearing unit 3 has a housing constructed from two sheet metal shells 16 and 17, the individual sheet metal shells being riveted to one another, as is illustrated, for example, by the riveting 18 between the sheet metal shell 17 and 16.
- the sheet metal shells 16 and 17 define an interior in the interior of the bearing unit 3 in which a spherical bearing 20 consisting of an outer shell 21 and an inner shell 22 is arranged.
- the inner shell 22 has a central bore 23 through which the central steering shaft 2 is inserted.
- the bore 23 of the inner shell 22 has a plurality of grooves 26 arranged axially next to one another, which facilitate translational displaceability of the central steering shaft 2 accommodated in the interior of the bore 23.
- FIG. 3 shows a further embodiment variant of the subject matter of the invention.
- the middle steering shaft 2 is received here in a needle bearing 30, which enables a rotational movement about the steering shaft center axis 31.
- the needle bearing 30 is in turn fixed in a hemispherical inner shell 22.
- the inner shell 22 is enclosed by an outer shell 21, which consists of the two partial shells 21a and 21b.
- the structure of this spherical bearing 20, like the embodiment in FIG. 2, allows the central steering shaft 2 to be inclined relative to the bearing unit. In this way, an adjustment of the steering column train is guaranteed.
- the outer partial shells 21a and 21b are enclosed by a sheet metal jacket 32, on which a holder 33 for mounting the bearing unit 3 on the body is arranged.
- FIG. 4 shows a bearing unit which differs from that embodiment variant of FIG. 3 by a pot-shaped holder 33 attached to the outside of the sheet metal jacket 32. This bracket 33 also shields a certain area of the steering shaft defined by the bearing unit 3 from the outside.
- the internal structure of the bearing unit 3 shown in FIG. 4 otherwise corresponds to the exemplary embodiment already explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 3.
