Embodiment Construction

[0030] The device according to the invention is a steering device which has an intermediate part in the form of a hub which connects the fork of the steering coupling with the steering shaft connection.

[0031] exist Figure 4 An embodiment of such a steering device 1 can be seen in FIG. The ends of the intermediate piece 3 and the steering shaft connection 2 of the steering shaft facing each other are formed as plug-in fittings, which have guiding elements 5, 6 interacting with each other (cf. figure 1 and image 3 ) and provide forced guidance of the transmitted torque. In addition, the steering device 1 also provides a clamping device, by means of which the plug-in parts can be clamped together in the plugged position, and the clamping device Figure 4 This is achieved by means of a helical spring 7 which enables a play-free connection.

[0032] Based on figure 1 and 3 The guide elements shown as grooves 5 and tenons 6 in the example are easily touched or visually pe...

Abstract

The invention relates to a steering arrangement (1) which has a steering spindle with a steering spindle connection (2) that is connected to a fork head (4) of a steering coupling via an intermediate piece (3). The steering spindle connection (2) and the hub-shaped intermediate piece (3) are designed as plug partners at ends that face each other by means of at least one groove and spring guiding element pair (5, 6) which is oriented in a longitudinally axial manner and which provides a positive guide that transmits a torque. This is achieved in that a first guiding element (5, 6) of the guiding element pair (5, 6) is arranged on the steering spindle connection (2), and a second guiding element (5, 6) of the guiding element pair (5, 6) is arranged on the intermediate piece (3). A clamping device which clamps the plug partners against each other in a plugged position, is provided

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a steering shaft arrangement of a motor vehicle at the interface between the steering shaft and the steering coupling. Background technique [0002] The direct screw connection of the steering shaft underneath to the steering coupling, which has been implemented until now, can only be realized with considerable effort in the packaging environment from the exhaust system, catalytic converter, engine and lines. In this case, the steering shaft is screwed to the steering coupling at the bottom transversely to the direction of the steering shaft. On the one hand this has the disadvantage of poor accessibility, on the other hand it increases the number of variants when optimizing the accessibility for different engine variants and steering positions (e.g. left-hand drive versus right-hand drive), and very little Or it may not even be possible to observe standard installation sequences at all, such as when the exhaust system is inst...
