[0060] image 3 is a partial sectional view illustrating the coupling system 1 of the second embodiment. Hereinafter, only the points different from the first embodiment will be described, and other places and image 3 The description of the sectional view made by the line B-B, C-C can refer to the description of the first embodiment. These differ in that the intermediate shaft 3 consists of a partial shaft divided into two halves, the upper intermediate shaft 31 associated with the inner joint part 22 and the lower half associated with the cross joint 4 The intermediate shaft 32, and external splines 311 are formed on the upper intermediate shaft 31, and internal splines suitable for fitting on the external splines 311 are formed on the lower intermediate shaft 32.

[0061] The intermediate shaft 3 allows telescoping so that only rotation is transmitted through this splined connection. The telescoping property of the intermediate shaft 3 realizes a structure in which the p...

Abstract

A shaft coupling device for a motor vehicle steering device, comprising an input shaft for transmitting rotation from a steering wheel, an intermediate shaft, an output shaft for driving a steering mechanism on the motor vehicle side, a constant velocity universal joint, and a cross shaft universal joint, wherein the input shaft and the intermediate shaft are connected by either of the constant velocity universal joint and the cross shaft universal joint, and the intermediate shaft and the output shaft are connected by the other joint.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a coupling system or intermediate shaft system that can be used to transmit rotation between two shafts oriented in different directions, and more particularly, the present invention relates to a coupling system or intermediate shaft system for a vehicle steering system intermediate shaft system. Background technique [0002] A gimbal system is used to transfer rotation or energy between two axes that are not in line. Cross shaft universal joints, which are also referred to as Cardan joints, hook joints and cross joints, can connect two shafts to each other via a cross member having four crossed shaft parts, and these shaft parts are such that That is, two pairs of opposing shaft portions are supported by yokes connected to their respective shafts. [0003] The constant velocity ball joint is such that torque transmission balls are placed in guide grooves respectively formed on the inner surface of the outer joint mem...
