Definitions

  • the invention relates to a steering column module for a motor vehicle, with electrical or electronic functional components, which are connected to a functional module, with a holding tube attached to the casing of a steering column support frame, wherein the support frame has sleeves which extend substantially parallel to the steering column, wherein the functional module the sleeves of the holding frame is attached, and with a plurality of housing parts which surround the functional module and the holding frame.
  • a generic steering column module is known from EP 1 060 946 B1.
  • This document shows a steering column module in which several functional components are combined to form a functional module.
  • the mounting of several housing parts simultaneously with the function module is quite expensive, since several parts are to act simultaneously.
  • the joining direction of the housing parts is practically perpendicular to the joining direction of the screws and also the steering column of a motor vehicle is generally an ergonomically unfavorable place for assembly work.
  • At least one first housing part has at least one connecting tab with an opening and through the opening a sleeve of the holding frame is passed, and that at least a second housing part is locked to the first housing part.
  • housing part and the functional module are connected in succession to the holding frame, so that at no time are several unconnected parts to act simultaneously. This makes an uncomplicated installation possible.
  • a further advantage is that a second housing part can be connected by a simple latching connection with the first housing part, whereby the assembly effort is minimal even for the second housing part.
  • the first housing part may be formed as a box-shaped housing part with a circumferentially closed lateral surface and two opposite open end faces,
  • the second housing part forms a cover part for the first housing part, which is preferably attachable to the upper open side of the first housing part by simply latching.
  • the functional module can be attached by simple screw on the support frame, at the same time the first housing part is fixed. It is advantageous that during the screwing, except for one screw, no parts of the steering column module must be handled, since both the first housing part and the functional module are positioned sufficiently accurately by attaching to the sleeves for the screwing. It is also particularly advantageous that the screwing in of the screws can be carried out in the most favorable mounting direction, namely from above and parallel to the steering column. Moreover, it is advantageous that only a few screw connections are required, since the screws are provided only for fixing the positions of holding frame, first housing part and functional module to each other. Since the support frame supports both the first housing part and the functional module, the screws need not apply large holding forces.
  • FIGS. 2a to 2e the steering column module in different assembly stages.
  • FIG. 1 shows the steering column module in an exploded view.
  • the steering column (1) is formed by a steering shaft (15) and a jacket tube (14) surrounding the steering shaft (15).
  • Firmly connected to the jacket tube (14) or designed as a part of the jacket tube (14) is a holding frame (2).
  • the holding frame (2) is already mounted on the jacket tube (14) prior to installation of the steering column (1) in the motor vehicle. The attachment of the holding frame (2) on the jacket tube (14) does not belong directly to the mounting of the steering column module.
  • the first housing part (4) forms a housing body with a circumferential, substantially closed lateral surface and two open end faces.
  • the first housing part (4) is closed by a latchable second housing part (8), wherein between the first and the second housing part (4, 8) recesses (9) remain free, through which to the steering column switch modules (16) belonging steering column shift lever (6 ) extend outwards.
  • the holding frame (2) can be seen, which is non-rotatably and immovably fixed to the jacket tube (14) of the steering column (1).
  • the holding frame (2) consists of grid-like webs, which are formed of sturdy sheet metal or plastic.
  • On the holding frame (2) a plurality of cylindrical sleeves (3) are arranged, whose longitudinal axes each extend parallel to the steering column (1).
  • FIG. 2b shows the first housing part (4) arranged on the holding frame (2).
  • the first housing part (4) has integrally formed on inner surfaces
  • the functional module (5) has receptacles (20) which slide precisely over the sleeves (3) of the holding frame (2) when the functional module (5) is attached.
  • the receptacles (20) each have on their upper side a screw opening (21) through which a screw (7) can be screwed into each sleeve (3). After screwing in the screws (7), the functional module (5) on the sleeves (3) and thus on the holding frame (2) is fixed. At the same time, they are integrally formed on the first housing part (4)
  • the assembly of the steering column module is completed by the latching of the second housing part (8) on the first housing part (4), resulting in the structure shown in Figure 2e.
  • the first housing part (4) has latching pins (10) integrally formed on the inner surfaces, which are encompassed by paired latching clips (11) on the second housing part (8).
  • the assembly of the steering column module on the steering column (1) thus consists, apart from the attachment of four screws (7), exclusively from the mating of only a few components, wherein, as the figure 1 shows very clearly, the assembly building and thus done without complicated assembly steps.
  • the steering column switch module shown here has, for example, three steering column shift levers (6); Accordingly, in the figure 2b in the first housing part (4) three recesses (9) are provided for carrying out the steering column shift lever.
  • a fourth recess is closed by a diaphragm (12). This is expedient if the functional component 17, for example, a functionless dummy module is formed and therefore need not be accessible from the outside.
  • the corresponding location of the housing is likewise to be provided with an opening.
  • the diaphragm (12) may be formed as a stamped from the inside of the first housing part surface, which can be broken out by slight pressure from the first housing part (4) and thus releases a recess in the housing part (4).
  • the diaphragm (12) can also be designed as a round diaphragm plate, which can be inserted into a groove of a recess provided in the first housing part (4) and thus closes the corresponding recess.
  • Both versions of the panel (12) allow to create at exactly the points of a housing recesses on which a functional component has a steering column shift lever or must be accessible from the outside, and other places to introduce no recesses or to close existing recesses with a panel.
  • a single embodiment of housing parts in a simple manner easily adaptable to differently configured function modules.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un module de colonne de direction pour un véhicule automobile comprenant au moins un composant fonctionnel (16-18) électrique ou électronique et au moins une partie de boîtier (4, 8) avec un cadre de maintien (2) fixé au tube d'enveloppe (14) d'une colonne de direction (1). Selon l'invention, le cadre de maintien (2) présente des douilles (3) qui s'étendent pour l'essentiel parallèlement à la colonne de direction (1), au moins un composant fonctionnel (16-18) est emmanché sur les douilles (3) et le cadre de maintien (2) est entouré par au moins une partie de boîtier (4, 8). Toujours selon l'invention, au moins une première partie de boîtier (4) présente au moins une éclisse de liaison (19) munie d'une traversée (13) et une douille (3) du cadre de maintien (2) passe à travers la traversée (13) et au moins une deuxième partie de boîtier (8) est fixée par enclipsage avec la première partie de boîtier (4).
