Definitions
- the present invention relates to a vehicle steering column according to the preamble of claim 1.
- Steering column arrangements in vehicles are generally used to be able to adjust the height and length of the steering wheel in order to adapt to different anatomies or seating positions of motorists for the purpose of increasing comfort.
- an inner steering column member which has a steering spindle connected to the steering wheel.
- the inner steering column member is mounted in an outer steering column member, the two steering column members being displaceable relative to one another in order to permit the axial adjustment in the desired manner.
- the parts can only be adjusted relative to one another with only slight forces, the overall rigidity of the steering column arrangement not being impaired.
- the connection between the inner steering column member and the outer steering column member must be as free of play as possible, since the operating loads are mainly conducted via the inner steering column member.
- the sliding link socket also serves to avoid vibrations that are undesirable in the steering wheel.
- the outer steering column member must have a sufficient length parallel to the sliding bushing to cover the desired total axial adjustment path.
- the vehicle steering column has an inner steering column member which receives a steering spindle and an outer steering column member which is arranged radially around an inner steering column member, the inner steering column member and. the outer steering column member are mutually displaceable by a sliding bush which slidably abuts on the inner steering column member and is captively connected to the outer steering column member, the sliding bush lying radially outward having at least two recesses in the form of pockets which pass through the outer steering column member to form one fixed connection between the outer en t steering column member and the sliding bush are sprayed with plastic.
- At least two depressions are provided, which are attached to opposite ends of the sliding bush, so that they are at a maximum possible distance from one another, which rules out axial tiltability.
- several depressions for example three, can also be provided with a depression in the middle between the two outer depressions.
- the slide bush has a slot over its entire length.
- the depressions extend circumferentially to both sides of the slot.
- the sliding bush is under a prestress and has a clear play to the outer steering column member, to which the manufacturing tolerances can add. However, this game is created during the manufacturing process when the plastic Fabric eliminated, so that the inner steering column member in the sliding bush with minimal play and with little tension or. Compressive forces can be adjusted axially.
- the sliding bushing consists of a suitable, lubricious material, in particular of a plastic with low friction properties.
- the sliding bushing has a plurality of stiffening ribs between the spaced-apart depressions to increase the stability of the sliding bushing.
- the inner steering column member, the outer steering column member and the sliding bushing For better torque transmission, it is common for the inner steering column member, the outer steering column member and the sliding bushing to have a triangular shape that complements the shape. However, they are advantageously cylindrical in shape, which enables simple manufacture.
- the embodiment according to the invention with a sliding bush, which is connected to the outer steering column member via a plastic injection has the advantage that the components can be carried out without mechanical processing and no fit between the sliding bush and the outer steering column member is required.
- a play-free connection can be established between the outer steering column member and the sliding bush, a sufficiently slidable connection being always guaranteed between the sliding bush and the inner steering column member.
- Figure 1 is a schematic sectional view through a steering column assembly according to the invention.
- Fig. 2 is a schematic perspective view of a sliding bushing which is used in a steering column arrangement according to the invention.
- Fig. 1 shows a sectional view of a vehicle steering column according to the invention.
- the vehicle steering column 1 has an inner steering column member 2, which receives a steering spindle, not shown, telescopically.
- An outer steering column member 3 is provided radially on the outside in an overlapping area. In the present case, the shape of the respective components is rotationally symmetrical.
- a sliding bush 4 made of a plastic material is arranged between the outer steering column member 3 and the inner steering column member 2.
- the inner steering column member 2 is axially slidable in the sliding bushing 4.
- the sliding bush 4 itself is firmly connected to the outer steering column member 3.
- the sliding bush 4 has on its radially outer circumferential surface two depressions 5 which are provided at both ends of the sliding bush 4 at a distance from one another.
- the recesses 5 form cavities or pockets 6 with respect to the outer steering column member 3 which is in contact with the outside. These pockets 6 or recesses 5 of the sliding bushing 4 are filled or sprayed from the outside through the outer steering column member 3 with plastic material, so that a firm connection between these components can be formed.
- 2 shows a perspective view of the sliding bush 3 according to the invention.
- the sliding bush 3 has a slot 7 over its entire length.
- the depressions 5, which then form the pockets 6 with the outer steering column member 3, are provided at both ends and extend on both sides of the slot 7 as far as this.
- the slot 7 is pushed together. This results in a fixed connection between the sliding bushing 4 and the outer steering column member 3 and a connection between the sliding bushing 4 and the inner steering column member 2, which allows the inner steering column member 2 to slide in the bushing 4.
- the sliding bush 4 can be produced from a lubricious material (e.g. plastic). With the solution according to the invention, all tolerances between the outer steering column member 3 and the sliding bush 4 are eliminated.
- the inner steering column member 2 can be adjusted in the sliding bush 4 with minimal play and low forces.
- stiffening ribs 8 are also provided between the depressions 5.
- the solution according to the invention has the advantage that the two steering column members 2, 3 do not have to be machined and no fit has to be produced.
- the injection pockets are as far apart as possible to maximize the support levers.
