Embodiment Construction

[0021] Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the detailed description of the specific embodiments is used to illustrate and explain the present invention, but not to limit the present invention.

[0022] like figure 1 As shown, it schematically shows the structure of an embodiment of the worm gear clearance eliminating mechanism of the present invention as a whole. The worm gear clearance elimination mechanism includes a housing 1, a worm wheel 2, a worm 3, a first elastic element 7, a first bearing 8, a first retaining ring 9, a lock nut 10, a second bearing 11, a second elastic element 12, End cap 13 and second retaining ring 14 .

[0023] from figure 1 It can be clearly seen that the worm wheel 2 and the worm screw 3 are located in the housing 1, and the two keep meshing. The worm 3 has a first end and a second end, and the first end of the worm 3 is con...

Abstract

The invention relates to a worm gear gap eliminating mechanism which comprises a shell, a worm wheel, a worm rod, a locking nut, a first check ring, a second check ring, an end cover, a first bearing and a second bearing, wherein the first bearing is fixed by the first check ring and the locking nut; a first elastic element generating a compressing force along the axial direction of the worm rod is arranged at the first bearing; the second bearing is fixed by the end cover and the second check ring; a second elastic element generating a compressing force along the axial and radial directions of the worm rod is arranged at the second bearing. The invention also relates to an electric power-assisted steering system with the worm gear gap eliminating mechanism and an automobile with the electric power steering system. The worm gear gap eliminating mechanism has the advantages that the radial meshing gap and meshing lateral gap of the worm wheel and the worm rod are simultaneously eliminated, the automobile steering noise is effectively reduced, and the control stability of the automobile is increased.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobiles, and relates to a worm gear clearance elimination mechanism, an electric power steering system provided with the worm gear clearance elimination mechanism, and an automobile equipped with the electric power steering system. Background technique [0002] In the automotive field, the electric power steering system is one of the common power steering systems. It is formed by combining a mechanical system and an electric motor. Most existing mechanical systems use worm gear mechanisms. Due to the influence of factors such as machining errors, assembly errors and working environment, the meshing gap between worm gears and worms has always existed. This gap mainly includes radial meshing gap (ie "radial gap") and meshing side gap (ie "axial gap"). The existence of radial meshing clearance will make the transmission performance of worm gear and worm worse, thereby reducing the stability of vehicle h...
