Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of riding baby carriages, and in particular to a steering control structure externally arranged on a steering gear box. Background Art
[0002] Children's strollers are electric toy cars for young children. Steering requires the child to control the steering wheel. However, the steering mechanisms of current strollers are very heavy, making it difficult for children with limited arm strength to independently control the vehicle. As living standards improve, consumers have increasingly sophisticated demands for strollers. These vehicles are becoming larger, and the use of relatively quiet foam and rubber tires further increases steering resistance, necessitating a corresponding power steering mechanism to assist with steering.
[0003] In the prior art, a steering gearbox and related structures are usually used to assist steering.
[0004] Among them, one is to use Hall sensors and magnetic field to act on the steering motor to achieve power assistance. One group is installed between the steering wheel and the vehicle body, and the other group is installed in the steering gear box. The Hall sensor is located at the position of the magnetic field to obtain an electric potential value. When the upper and lower sets of electric potential values are consistent, it is determined that the structural direction is consistent, and the center position of the north pole and south pole of the magnetic field is the front position. This structure is relatively expensive, and the existing magnet magnetization process cannot ensure that the magnetic field at the center position of the north pole and south pole of the magnetic field is the same value, which makes its implementation very difficult.
[0005] Another approach uses a reverse-beam light-controlled electronic component to activate the steering motor for power. This control structure includes a reverse-beam light-emitting PCB, a reverse-beam light-sensing PCB, and a light-shielding plate with a curved light-transmitting slot located between the two. Two sets of components are also required: one mounted on the upper half of the gearbox, and the other on the lower half. The reverse-beam light-sensing electronic components on either side of the light-shielding plate generate different digital signals through the light-emitting and light-sensing tubes on the receiving PCB. When the two signals match, the steering direction is determined to be consistent. However, in actual application, the calculation of the left and right turning angles is based on the arc-shaped transmission grooves in the light-isolating plate to determine the turning position, that is, the light-transmitting grooves of different curvatures are located in different dimensions of the shading plate to form a so-called digital disk. The light-emitting PCB board and the photosensitive PCB board obtain different digital signals through the digital disk. Two curvatures can only determine one position on the left or right. The combination of five curvatures can determine a maximum of four positions on the left and right. The left and right turning angles are both 40 degrees per column, with an accuracy of 10 degrees per position, which is poor. In addition, two groups of light-emitting tubes and receiving tubes corresponding to the light-transmitting grooves are required, that is, the upper group requires at least 5 light-emitting tubes and 5 photosensitive tubes; the lower group also requires at least 5 light-emitting tubes and 5 photosensitive tubes; 20 electronic components If any one of them is damaged or malfunctions, the structure will not work properly; its structure is too complicated and the cost is too high, making it difficult to promote in the market. At the same time, there are also the following problems: 1. The structure is located inside the gear box, which increases the difficulty of maintenance. Customers often need to discard the gear box together and replace it with a new one, which increases maintenance costs and waste of raw materials; 2. The collection of two sets of data depends on the precise position and precise alignment of the light-emitting tube, the receiving tube, and the digital disk. A tension spring is used to directly pull the digital disk; the tension of the tension spring acts on the digital disk for a long time, which will cause the digital disk to deform and affect the reading accuracy; 3. The tension spring occupies a large space, which increases the volume of the structure and does not match the position and space on the stroller; 4. The clutch structure is too complicated.
[0006] In summary, the two existing power steering structures for children's bicycles are complex in structure, high in cost, and difficult to implement; there is an urgent need for a structure that is simple in structure, low in cost, and easy to implement. Summary of the Invention

[0100] In a steering control structure externally mounted on a steering gearbox in this embodiment, the circumferential fixing method of the driving disc 12 and the first steering shaft 11 is as follows: a first slot 1204 (such as Figure 13 The first steering shaft 11 includes a first steering shaft body 1101 and a first card foot 1102 (as shown in the bottom side of the first steering shaft body 1101) Figure 9 The first steering shaft 11 is passed through the first sleeve 1202 from bottom to top, and the first card foot 1102 of the first steering shaft 11 is embedded in the first card groove 1204 of the drive disk 12 (as shown); Figure 4 As shown), the first steering shaft 11 and the drive disc 12 are fixed circumferentially.

Figure 4 As shown in the figure, since the second steering shaft 21 is the component that directly acts on the bogie to steer the wheels, the second steering shaft is subjected to a larger torque. Therefore, the thickness of the bottom side portion of the second sleeve 2202 of the driven plate 22 needs to be increased, and the strength of the connection is further improved by designing the second clip 2102 and the second slot 2204.
[0102] In this embodiment, a steering control structure external to the steering gear box is provided. Figure 6 As shown, the auxiliary steering gearbox 3 includes an upper housing 31, a lower housing 32, a drive motor 34, a drive connecting portion 35 and a transmission gear set 36; Figure 19 As shown, the upper shell 31 includes an upper shell body 3101, a mounting seat for the drive motor is provided at the top side of the upper shell body 3101 near the left end, and the gear box shaft sleeve portion 3102 is provided at the top side near the right end; the lower shell 32 is provided with an opening at a position corresponding to the gear box shaft sleeve portion 3102; Figure 21 and Figure 22 As shown, the drive connecting part 35 includes a gear part 3501, a connecting part 3502 located on the bottom side of the gear part 3501, and a fourth axial hole 3503 located at the center of the gear part 3501; the upper shell 31 and the lower shell 32 are fixedly installed, and a mounting cavity is formed on the inner side; the drive motor 34 is installed in the mounting seat, and its driving end extends into the mounting cavity; the gear part 3501 of the drive connecting part 35 is located in the mounting cavity, and is sleeved on the gear box sleeve part 3102 through the fourth axial hole 3503; the bottom surface of the gear part 3501 is limited by the lower opening of the lower shell 32, and the connecting part 3502 on the bottom side of the gear part 3501 extends from the opening; a transmission gear set is also installed in the mounting cavity for transmission connection between the driving end of the drive motor and the gear part 3501 of the drive connecting part 35.
[0103] In a steering control structure externally mounted on a steering gearbox in this embodiment, the driving connection portion 35 and the driven disc 22 are fixed circumferentially in the following manner: the outer side wall of the driven disc 22 is further provided with a limiting protrusion 2205 (such as Figure 14 As shown), the inner side wall of the connecting portion 3502 of the driving connecting portion 35 is provided with a limiting groove 3504 corresponding to the limiting protrusion 2205 (as shown Figure 21 The limiting groove 3504 cooperates with the limiting convex body 2205 to fix the driving connection portion 35 and the driven disk 22 circumferentially (as shown); Figure 2 shown).

[0105] Refer again Figure 4 As shown, the steering control structure also includes a force storage reset mechanism 5; the force storage reset mechanism 5 acts on the steering drive mechanism 1, and is used to store force when the steering drive mechanism 1 receives a right steering operation or a left steering operation and rotates, and is also used to drive the steering drive mechanism 1 to rotate in the opposite direction and return to the initial position when the steering drive mechanism 1 loses the force of the left steering operation or the left steering operation.
[0106] Refer again Figure 7As shown, the force storage reset mechanism 5 includes an installation space 51, a torsion spring 52 located in the installation space 51, a torsion spring fixing block 55, and a torsion spring shift block 56; the two torsion arms of the torsion spring 52 are respectively arranged on both sides of the torsion spring fixing block 55 after crossing; the torsion spring shift block 56 is arranged between the two torsion arms of the torsion spring; the torsion spring fixing block 55 does not rotate with the driving disk; the torsion spring shift block rotates with the driving disk; the torsion spring 52 is used to store force due to the change in the distance between the two torsion arms under the joint action of one torsion arm being driven by the torsion spring shift block and the other torsion arm being limited by the torsion spring fixing block 55 when the torsion spring shift block rotates with the driving disk.
[0107] In this embodiment, a steering control structure external to the steering gear box is provided. Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the force storage reset mechanism 5 also includes a fixed disk 54; the fixed disk 54 includes a fixed disk body 5401 and a first axial hole 5402 provided on the fixed disk body 5401; the fixed disk 54 is sleeved on the first shaft sleeve 1202 through the first axial hole 5402; the fixed disk 54 is also located in the first mounting groove 2207 of the driven disk 22; the first cover 23 is also used to axially fix the driving disk 12 and the fixed disk 54 to the driven disk 22, and the fixed disk 54 is also circumferentially fixed to the gear box shaft sleeve portion 3102; the fixed disk 54 is also circumferentially fixed to the gear box shaft sleeve portion 3102 in the following manner: the fixed disk body 5401 is further provided with a claw 5404; the gear box shaft sleeve portion 3102 is further provided with a slot 3104 (as shown) at a position corresponding to the claw 5404. Figure 20 The claw 5404 engages with the slot 3104 to circumferentially secure the fixed plate 54 to the gearbox shaft sleeve 3102. This plug-in connection allows the first cover 23, drive plate 12, fixed plate 54, first steering shaft 11, driven plate 22, and second steering shaft 21 to be assembled into a single structure. The fixed plate 54 can then be quickly assembled and disassembled from the auxiliary drive gearbox, making it extremely convenient. The slot 3104 is also located on the inner wall of the third shaft hole 3103 of the gearbox shaft sleeve 3102. The thickness of the slot 3104 matches that of the second angle limiting groove 3105. To further enhance the stability of the connection structure, two slots 3104 and two first limiting grooves 3103 are provided, alternating between the slots 3104 and the first limiting grooves 3103, forming a cross-like arrangement.
[0108] Please refer to Figure 7 、 Figure 27As shown, the installation space 51 of the reset force storage structure is arranged between the driving disk 12 and the fixed disk 54; a second installation groove 5405 is provided in the fixed disk body 5401; the second installation groove 5405 and the driving disk seat 1201 constitute the installation space 51; the torsion spring fixing block 55 is arranged on the inner wall of the second installation groove 5405, and the torsion spring shift block 56 is arranged on the driving disk seat 1201; the torsion spring is sleeved on the first shaft sleeve 1202. With this design, no matter whether the driving disc 12 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise, one of the torsion arms of the torsion spring will be limited and fixed by the torsion spring fixing block 55, while the other torsion arm will be driven by the torsion spring shift block 56 to rotate with the driving disc 12, so that the torsion spring can be deformed and force can be stored; after the steering wheel is released, the driving disc 12 is no longer subjected to external operating force, and the stored force of the torsion spring is released, which will drive the torsion spring shift block 56 to move in the opposite direction until the two torsion arms of the torsion spring are limited between the torsion spring fixing block 55 and are relatively fixed; at this time, the driving disc 12 is also driven by the torsion spring shift block 56 to return to the forward state; in conjunction with this process, since the driving disc 12 is driven to rotate by the torsion spring shift block 56, the first trigger device will be triggered, controlling the auxiliary steering gearbox to drive the driven disc 22 to rotate and return to the center, thereby controlling the bending axis return of the second steering shaft 21, so that the wheel returns to the forward direction.
[0109] In a steering control structure external to the steering gearbox of this embodiment, the steering control structure further includes a second trigger device 7; the second trigger device 7 includes a second switch device 71 and a second trigger part 72; one of the second switch device 71 and the second trigger part 72 is fixedly installed without rotating with the drive disc, and the other is installed to rotate with the drive disc; the second switch device 71 and the second trigger part 72 are used to correspond in position when the drive disc is forward, and not correspond in position when the drive disc is steering; the second trigger device 7 is used to switch the low speed of the auxiliary drive gearbox 3 through the position correspondence and position non-correspondence of the second switch device 71 and the second trigger part 72 state and high-speed state; specifically, the second trigger portion 72 is a convex block. In order to improve assembly efficiency, the second switch device 71 also includes a second switch mounting plate 7102; the second switch 7101 is fixed on the second switch mounting plate 7102; the second switch device 71 is fixed by the second switch mounting slot 73; the second switch 7101 is a micro switch; wherein the second trigger portion 72 is arranged on the top surface of the torsion spring shift block 56 of the driving disk 12; the second mounting slot 73 is arranged on the fixed disk 54; the contact of the second switch 7101 of the second switch device 71 passes downward through the fixed disk 54 and then matches with the convex block of the second trigger portion (such as Figure 10 、 Figure 12 and Figure 17 shown).
[0110] In a steering control structure external to the steering gearbox of this embodiment, a corresponding rotation angle limiting mechanism is further provided to ensure smooth operation of the corresponding structure. The rotation angle limiting mechanism is a combination of one or more of a variety of rotation angle limiting mechanisms. The various rotation angle limiting mechanisms include:

[0112] Second rotation angle limiting mechanism: The angle limiting mechanism of the driving disk 12 and the fixed disk 54 is as follows: a first angle limiting groove 5403 is further provided on the inner wall of the first shaft hole 5402 of the fixed disk 54; a first protrusion 1203 is further provided on the outer wall of the first shaft sleeve 1202; the first protrusion 1203 is used to rotate within the range of the first angle limiting groove 5403 as the driving disk 12 rotates (such as Figure 10-12 shown);
[0113] The third rotation angle limiting mechanism: The angle limiting mechanism between the first cover 22 and the fixed plate 54 is as follows: a third angle limiting groove 3103 is further provided on the inner wall of the first mounting hole 2302 of the first cover 23; a circular protruding ring 5406 is further provided on the fixed plate 54; a second protruding portion 5407 is further provided on the side wall of the circular protruding ring 5406; the first cover 23 is fitted onto the circular protruding ring 5406 through the first mounting hole 2302, and the second protruding portion 5407 cooperates with the third angle limiting groove 3103. When the driven plate 22 rotates, the third angle limiting groove 3103 rotates along with the first cover 23, and the second protruding portion 5407 limits the rotation angle of the third angle limiting groove 3103 (such as Figure 10 、 Figure 11 and Figure 18 shown);
[0114] Fourth rotation angle limiting mechanism: The limiting structure between the driving disk 12 and the driven disk 22 is as follows: a third rotation limiting portion 2209 is provided on the bottom surface of the first mounting groove 2207 of the driven disk 22; a fourth rotation limiting portion 1206 is provided on the bottom surface of the driving disk 12; the third rotation limiting portion 2209 cooperates with the fourth rotation limiting portion 1206 to limit the relative rotation angle of the driving disk and the driven disk; specifically, the third rotation limiting portion 2209 is a fan-shaped boss provided along the circumferential direction of the first mounting groove 2207; the fourth rotation limiting portion 1206 is a fan-shaped boss provided along the circumferential direction of the bottom side of the driving disk 12 (such as Figure 13 and Figure 14 shown);
[0115] Fifth rotation angle limiting mechanism: The driving disk 12 is further provided with a fifth rotation limiting portion 1205 at a position corresponding to the torsion spring fixing block 55 on the fixed disk 54; the fifth rotation limiting portion 1205 cooperates with both sides of the torsion spring fixing block 55 to limit the rotation angle of the driving disk 12 relative to the fixed disk 54; specifically, the fifth rotation limiting portion 1205 is a fan-shaped groove (such as Figure 11 and Figure 12 shown);
[0116] Sixth rotation angle limiting mechanism: A third rotation limiting portion 2209 is provided on the bottom surface of the first mounting groove 2207 of the driven disk 22; a sixth rotation limiting portion 5408 is provided on the bottom edge of the fixed disk body 5401 of the fixed disk 54; the sixth rotation limiting portion 5408 cooperates with the third rotation limiting portion 2209 to limit the rotation angle of the driven disk 22 relative to the fixed disk 54; specifically, the sixth rotation limiting portion 5408 is a fan-shaped groove provided along the outer circumference of the bottom side of the fixed disk; when used in conjunction with the fourth rotation angle limiting mechanism, the limiting range of the sixth rotation limiting portion 5408 is consistent with that of the fourth rotation limiting portion 1206 (as shown in Figures 11 and Figure 14 shown).
[0117] The above-mentioned various methods of limiting the rotation angle can be used independently or together as in the present embodiment. Such a design, with multiple limit combinations, forms a "nesting doll-style" installation, which prevents workers from making mistakes during assembly, improves work efficiency, and has an anti-"reverse" design effect.
[0118] In a steering control structure externally disposed in a steering gearbox according to this embodiment, the steering control structure further includes a clutch mechanism 6; the clutch mechanism 6 includes a clutch member 61, a first clutch channel 62 provided on the driven disc 22, and a second clutch channel 63 provided on the driving disc 12; the clutch member 61 is used to pass through the first clutch channel 62 and be inserted into the second clutch channel 63, so that the driving disc 12 and the driven disc 22 are fixed in the circumferential direction, or to remain in the first clutch channel 62 and not enter the second clutch channel 63, so that the driving disc 12 and the driven disc 22 have the freedom of circumferential relative movement; specifically, as Figure 24 and Figure 25 As shown, the clutch member 61 is a slider; the first clutch channel 62 is a slideway that cooperates with the slider; the second clutch channel 63 is a slide groove that cooperates with the slider; the slider includes a slider body 6101, and the slider body 6101 is further provided with an elastic member 6102; the elastic member 6102 is further provided with a first locking portion 6103 on the matching surface with the first clutch channel 62; the second clutch channel 62 is further provided with a second locking portion 6201 and a third locking portion 6202 on the matching surface with the elastic member 6102; the second locking portion 6201 is used to clamp the first locking portion 6103 when the clutch member 61 extends into the second clutch channel 63, so that the clutch member 61 maintains the state of extending into the second clutch channel 63. In this state, the clutch member 61 drives the drive disk 12 The third latching portion 6202 is used to clamp the first latching portion 6103 when the clutch member 61 does not extend into the second clutch channel 63, so that the clutch member 61 remains in the first clutch channel 62, neither entering the second clutch channel 63 nor sliding out of the first clutch channel 62. In this state, the driving disk 12 and the driven disk 22 are separated. In addition, in order to facilitate the push-pull operation of the clutch member 61, a handle 6104 is further provided on the bottom side of the slider body 6101; it should also be noted that the elastic member 6102 can realize the corresponding elastic function through the structure; specifically, the top end of the elastic member 6102 is connected to the top end of the slider body 6101, and a space for the elastic member 6102 to bend toward the slider body 6101 is provided between the elastic member 6102 and the slider body 6101. Through the bending of the elastic member 6102 toward the slider body 6101, the first locking portion 6103 on the elastic member 6102 has the elastic freedom to pass through the second locking portion 6201 or the third locking portion 6202, thereby enabling push-pull or removal operations (such as Figure 30 and Figure 31 shown).
[0119] The working process of a steering control structure external to the steering gearbox of this embodiment is as follows:
[0120] Steering process (taking right turn as an example): When the operator controls the steering wheel to turn right (i.e., when performing a right turn operation), the first steering shaft 11 rotates synchronously with the steering wheel, and the first steering shaft 11 will drive the driving disc 12 to rotate synchronously, and the driving disc 12 drives the torsion spring shift block 56 to rotate clockwise, causing the torsion spring 52 to deform and store force. At the same time, the driven disc 22 is only axially fixed to the driving disc 12, and has the freedom of relative rotation in the circumferential direction, which will cause the driven disc 22 and the driving disc 12 to change position in the circumferential direction. The boss of the first trigger part 42 will trigger its first switch in the clockwise direction, starting the right turn auxiliary function of the auxiliary drive gearbox, and the auxiliary drive gearbox 3 will output corresponding power through the drive connecting part 35, and the drive connecting part 35 will rotate clockwise around the gearbox shaft sleeve part 3102, thereby driving the driven disc 22 The second steering shaft 21 also stops rotating, and the bogie drives the steering wheel to keep the deflection state; the vehicle continues to turn right; in this process, at the initial position, due to the second switch 7101 of the second trigger device 7, the second switch 7101 of the second trigger device 7 stops rotating. Corresponding to the protrusion of the second triggering part 72, when the driving disk 12 rotates clockwise, the protrusion of the second triggering part 72 rotates accordingly, and the second switch 7101 switches the driving motor of the auxiliary driving gearbox 3 from a low speed state to a high speed state, so that the corresponding steering function responds quickly;
[0121] Steering release return process: When the operator releases the steering wheel, the stored force of the torsion spring 52 is released, causing the driving disc 12 to rotate counterclockwise until it returns to the forward direction (initial position). At this time, as the driving disc 12 rotates, the driving disc 12 and the driven disc 22 change positions in the circumferential direction again, and the boss of the first triggering portion 42 triggers its first switch in the counterclockwise direction, starting the left turn auxiliary function of the auxiliary drive gearbox. The auxiliary drive gearbox 3 drives the driven disc 22 to rotate counterclockwise, and the driven disc 22 drives the second steering shaft 21 to rotate counterclockwise. The rotation of the second steering shaft 21 will cause the curved shaft at its bottom end to return to the left, thereby causing the bogie connected to the curved shaft of the second steering shaft 21 to drive the steering wheel to return to the center; in this process, since the rotation of the driven disc 22 lags slightly behind the driving disc 12, when the driving disc 12 returns to the center, the protrusion of the second trigger part 72 again corresponds to the second switch 7101 of the second trigger device 7.
