Embodiment Construction

[0033] exist figure 2 On the one hand, the rotation of the floating plate relative to the steering wheel angle is shown (right ordinate) and, on the other hand, the direction of travel of the front axle relative to the steering wheel angle (left ordinate). It can easily be seen that the steering wheel is centered in the steering wheel play at the end of the pivot.

[0034] image 3 An adapter plate is shown, which can be quickly and easily mounted on the wheel in order to determine the caster angle (here in the range of approximately ±20°).

[0035] At last Figure 4 The determination of the caster and inclination angles is shown as a function of the toe angle and the camber angle, which can be determined on the adapter plate by means of laser measurements.

[0036] A method for positioning a vehicle on a chassis test stand for measuring (or measuring and adjusting) the geometry of an axle of a wheel and a device for carrying out the method are known from DE 10016 366 C2 a...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting the steering wheel of a motor vehicle. The aim of the invention is to enable an automatic adjustment of the steering wheel in the steering clearance centre by 'stabilising' or carrying out a steering hysteresis measurement, and the subsequent adjustment of the steering wheel, in a simple, rapid and cost-effective manner. To this end, the invention relates to a method for adjusting the steering wheel of a motor vehicle in the steering wheel clearance centre, said method being characterised by the following steps: the floating plates of the vehicle geometry test bed, on which the front wheels of the motor vehicle are arranged, are rotated when the wheels are stopped in order to cause the rotation of steering wheel; the steering wheel angle is determined according to the triggered steering wheel movement; and the steering wheel clearance centre is adjusted. The invention shows that reproducible rotations of the steering wheel can be triggered by the floating plates of the vehicle geometry test bed, enabling an automatic adjustment of the steering wheel in the steering wheel clearance centre to be carried out rapidly and easily.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for adjusting a steering wheel of a motor vehicle. Background technique [0002] On conventional chassis geometry test stands, the steering wheel can be adjusted manually by a worker in the center of the steering wheel gap (Lenkradspielmitte). The adjustment takes place by a so-called "pivot" of the steering wheel, that is to say a steering movement by the worker with the aim of adjusting the steering wheel as precisely as possible in the center of the steering wheel play. Since this adjustment is subjective and presupposes a certain experience of the worker, fluctuations in production occur with regard to the adjustment. The steering hysteresis measurement in the hysteresis center and the subsequent adjustment of the steering wheel have so far been carried out entirely manually by workers, which creates corresponding problems. [0003] It is also known to carry out the above-mentioned adjustments by a r...
