Abstract

The invention belongs to the technique of an automobile electric power steering gear, and relates to an automatic clearance adjusting mechanism for a worm and gear of the automobile electric power steering gear. The automatic clearance adjusting mechanism comprises a steering shell (1), the worm wheel (2), the worm (3), a worm bottom bearing (4), a worm top bearing (5), and a worm top bearing clamping nut (6). The automatic clearance adjusting mechanism is characterized in that the worm top bearing (5) is a self-aligning ball bearing. An adjusting ring (8) is mounted in a mounting blind hole (1a) of the worm bottom bearing. An elastic push rod component (7) is mounted on a position, which corresponds to the mounting blind hole (1a) of the worm bottom bearing, of the steering shell (1). By the automatic clearance adjusting mechanism, automatic compensation to meshing clearance, which changes with external environment temperature, of the worm and gear of the automobile electric power steering gear can be achieved, and accordingly constant changing of driving feel is avoided, and stable operation of an automobile is guaranteed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technology of electric power steering for automobiles, and relates to the improvement of the worm gear mechanism of electric power steering for automobiles. Background technique [0002] Since the worm wheel material of the worm gear reduction mechanism for automobile electric power steering is made of nylon alloy material, this material has the advantages of self-lubrication and wear resistance, but the material is greatly affected by temperature and air humidity, resulting in the meshing gap of the worm gear It changes with the change of the external environment temperature, which affects the meshing performance of the worm gear, which causes the driving feel to be light and sometimes heavy, and affects the stability of the car handling. Contents of the invention [0003] The object of the present invention is to propose an automatic adjustment mechanism for the worm gear gap of an automobile electric power steering, wh...
