Steering column adjustment mechanism

Abstract

A regulating mechanism for a steering column is used to regulate stretching, retracting and the angle of the steering column. The regulating mechanism for the steering column comprises an axial regulating support, an angle regulating support, a connecting shaft, an operation part, a spring plate and an installation base, wherein the angle regulating support is fixed on the installation base; the installation base is firmly connected to a car body; the axial regulating support is firmly connected to the steering column; the connecting shaft is located under the axis of the steering column; the axial regulating support, the angle regulating support, the spring plate and the operation part are connected by the connecting shaft; the spring plate is disposed between the axial regulating support and the angle regulating support; the spring plate is fixed on the angle regulating support; and the spring plate is pressed by the connecting shaft to the axial regulating support. The regulating mechanism for the steering column provided by the invention has the advantages that the steering column can be regulated in four directions; the structural layout is rational; and vertical modality of the column can be enhanced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of a steering column of a vehicle, in particular to a steering column adjustment mechanism. Background technique [0002] Automobile steering system (Steering System) is a series of devices used to change or maintain the direction of driving or reversing. Among them, the steering column is the steering mechanism used to connect the steering wheel and steering gear in the steering system, and is an important component of the automobile steering system. one. With the improvement of people's requirements for vehicle ride comfort and driving safety, the steering column is required to realize four-way adjustment in general mid-to-high-end passenger cars, that is, the steering column can be adjusted along the column The axis of the steering column can be adjusted axially, and the angle can also be adjusted along the lower installation axis of the column, so that the steering wheel of the car can be adjusted to a ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The layout of the steering column is easily restricted due to the influence of man-machine and peripheral parts, and the layout space of the column will affect the design of the four-way adjustment mechanism of the column and the design of the bracket related to the mode

In the steering column adjustment mechanism in the prior art, the adjustment mechanism is arranged above the axis of the column. When the space above the axis of the column is insufficient, the design of the adjustment mechanism cannot be carried out, and the vertical mode of the column is relatively low (generally required > 45Hz ), cannot meet the requirements
