Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a road feel simulator and a vehicle having the same. Background Art
[0002] Major OEMs are currently conducting preliminary research on steer-by-wire systems. Traditional steering systems have a mechanical connection between the steering wheel and the tires. When the user holds the steering wheel while getting in or out of the vehicle, the steering wheel is prevented from rotating due to friction between the tires and the ground. However, steer-by-wire systems eliminate the mechanical connection between the road simulator and the steering gear, instead using an intermediate shaft. This means the steering wheel will rotate when the user holds the steering wheel while getting in or out of the vehicle. This free rotation also creates an angle difference between the steering wheel and the wheel. Furthermore, since the two angles must be synchronized before driving, a large angle difference can lead to lengthy synchronization times, leading to user complaints. Prior to this, major OEMs installed a road simulator lock to prevent the steering wheel from rotating after the vehicle was powered off. However, adding this lock to the road simulator increases its size, hindering space planning, and also increases cost and weight. Summary of the Invention

[0033] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.
[0034] Combine Figures 1 to 8 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of the present application, a road feel simulator is provided.
[0035] Specifically, a road feel simulator includes: a shell 10, the shell 10 has a accommodating cavity 101, and a bracket 102 is provided in the accommodating cavity 101; a main shaft 20, part of the main shaft 20 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 101, and the main shaft 20 is composed of an upper shaft 21 and a lower shaft 22, and an anti-rotation ring 23 is provided at one end of the upper shaft 21 close to the lower shaft 22, wherein the upper shaft 21 and the lower shaft 22 are movably connected so that the main shaft 20 has a first working position in a welcome mode and a second working position in a vehicle starting mode; an anti-rotation assembly 30, the anti-rotation assembly 30 is fixed on the bracket 102; wherein, when the main shaft 20 is in the first working position, the anti-rotation assembly 30 has a stop position engaged with the anti-rotation ring 23 to prevent the main shaft 20 from circumferential rotation, and when the main shaft 20 is in the second working position, the anti-rotation assembly 30 has an unlocked position away from the anti-rotation ring 23.
[0036] In this embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the shell is sleeved on the main shaft, and the main shaft consists of an upper shaft and a lower shaft. An anti-rotation ring is provided at one end of the upper shaft close to the lower shaft, wherein the upper shaft and the lower shaft are movably connected, and an anti-rotation component is also sleeved on the lower shaft, so that the steering wheel can be prevented from rotating at any angle, effectively reducing the angle difference between the steering wheel angle and the wheel angle, thereby realizing anti-rotation of the steering wheel at any angle, and effectively reducing the size of the anti-rotation component, effectively improving space utilization.
[0037] Furthermore, the anti-rotation assembly 30 includes a first link 31 and a second link 32, which are hingedly connected. At least one of the first link 31 and the second link 32 is connected to the bracket 102, and at least one of the first link 31 and the second link 32 has a locked position and an unlocked position. This arrangement secures the anti-rotation assembly 30 to the bracket 102, effectively preventing it from falling off. Furthermore, the anti-rotation assembly 30 can effectively prevent the steering wheel from rotating according to different operating modes.
[0038] Specifically, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are arranged at an angle, and the length directions of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 extend along the length direction of the main shaft 20, and the ends of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 extend toward one side of the main shaft 20 respectively.
[0039] In this embodiment, one end of the first link 31 faces the bottom end of the shell 10, and the other end of the first link 31 is provided with a first connecting portion 313; one end of the second link 32 faces one end of the shell 10, and the other end of the second link 32 is provided with a second connecting portion 321, which effectively makes the anti-rotation assembly 30 more stable and prevents the first link 31 and the second link 32 from deflecting when the vehicle moves, causing the anti-rotation assembly 30 to fail.
[0040] Furthermore, the length of the first connecting rod 31 is L1, the length of the second connecting rod 32 is L2, and L1<L2.
[0041] In this embodiment, the length of the second connecting rod 32 is longer than that of the first connecting rod 31, so that the second connecting rod 32 can cause the first connecting rod 31 to tilt up due to the effect of gravity, effectively ensuring that when the anti-rotation assembly 30 moves from the unlocking position to the stopping position, the first connecting rod 31 can accurately enter the anti-rotation ring 23.
[0042] like Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the first connecting rod 31 is provided with a first slope surface 311 that cooperates with the anti-rotation ring 23 on the side facing the main shaft 20, and the other end of the first connecting rod 31 is provided with a first protrusion 312, and the first protrusion 312 is provided with a first connecting portion 313, wherein the first connecting portion 313 is a hole structure, and the second connecting rod 32 is provided with a second slope surface 322 that cooperates with the anti-rotation ring 23 on the side facing the main shaft 20, and the other end of the second connecting rod 32 is provided with a second protrusion 323, and the second protrusion 323 is provided with a second connecting portion 321, and the first connecting portion 313 and the second connecting portion 321 are coaxially arranged, wherein the second connecting portion 321 is a hole structure.
[0043] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 313 of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting portion 321 of the second connecting rod 32 can be connected to the bracket 102 via bolts, ensuring that the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are rotatable. The first sloped surface 311 effectively ensures that the first connecting rod 31 can accurately enter the anti-rotation ring 23 when the anti-rotation assembly 30 moves from the unlocked position to the stopped position. The second sloped surface 322 effectively prevents the second connecting rod 32 from scratching the anti-rotation ring 23 and ensures that the second connecting rod 32 can drive the first connecting rod 31 into the anti-rotation ring 23, thereby stabilizing the first connecting rod 31.
[0044] Furthermore, bracket 102 is provided with mounting holes, with the first connecting portion 313 and the second connecting portion 321 arranged coaxially with the mounting holes. In this embodiment, bracket 102 includes several mounting holes for mounting fasteners, which serve as the angle adjustment axis of the road feel simulator after installation. This arrangement ensures that the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are stably fixed to bracket 102.
[0045] Specifically, the anti-rotation assembly 30 also includes: a fixing buckle 33 and a spring 34. There are two fixing buckles 33, and the two fixing buckles 33 are respectively arranged on the side of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 facing the main shaft 20. The two ends of the spring 34 are respectively connected to the fixing buckles 33 on the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32.
[0046] In this embodiment, a fixing buckle 33 is provided on each side of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 facing the main shaft 20, so that a spring can connect the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32. This arrangement effectively prevents the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 from circumferential movement, which could cause the anti-rotation assembly 30 to fail. The anti-rotation assembly 30 can also be connected by threading, spline connection, clamping, riveting, etc.
[0047] like Figure 5 As shown, the anti-rotation ring 23 includes: a main ring 231, a limiting ring 232, and a transition ring 233. The limiting ring 232 is disposed at the first end of the main ring 231. The outer circumferential surface of the limiting ring 232 is provided with multiple protrusions 236, and a rotation-stop groove 234 is formed between adjacent protrusions 236. When the anti-rotation assembly 30 is in the rotation-stop position, the end of at least one of the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 is located within the rotation-stop groove 234. When the anti-rotation assembly 30 is in the unlocked position, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are located outside the rotation-stop groove 234. The transition ring 233 is disposed at the second end of the main ring 231 and is provided with a guide slope 235 along its circumference. The anti-rotation ring 233 is press-fitted onto the upper shaft 21 and has an interference fit therewith.
[0048] In this embodiment, a limiting ring 232 and a transition ring 233 are provided on the main ring 231. The outer circumference of the limiting ring 232 is provided with multiple protrusions 236, and anti-rotation grooves 234 are formed between adjacent protrusions 236. This effectively ensures that when the anti-rotation assembly 30 is in the unlocked position, the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32 are located outside the anti-rotation grooves 234. The transition ring 233 is provided at the second end of the main ring 231 and is provided with a guide slope 235 along its circumference. This ensures that the anti-rotation assembly 30 can effectively engage with the anti-rotation ring 23, preventing the steering wheel from rotating at any angle when the vehicle is parked.
[0049] In another embodiment of the present application, a vehicle is provided, including a road feel simulator, which is the road feel simulator of the above embodiment. In this embodiment, the anti-rotation assembly 30 of the vehicle is provided by adding a guide bevel 235 of appropriate size and a control link elastic member to the anti-rotation ring 23 and the first connecting rod 31 and the second connecting rod 32. When the main shaft retracts to the shortest, the first connecting rod 31 slides into the anti-rotation groove 234 along the guide bevel 235 under the action of the elastic member, thereby achieving anti-rotation of the steering wheel at any angle. At the same time, it solves the problem that the anti-rotation ring and the connecting rod cannot be directly engaged in most cases and the teeth are hit, thereby causing the road feel simulator length adjustment motor to be blocked, thereby protecting the motor. In addition, local reinforcement structures are provided at the slots and openings of each part to prevent the structure from being too thin and having low strength.
[0050] Furthermore, the vehicle includes a welcome mode and a vehicle starting mode, wherein the main shaft 20 includes an upper shaft 21 and a lower shaft 22, the distance when the lower shaft 22 moves to the second working position is L1, and the distance when the lower shaft 22 moves to the first working position is L2, wherein L2>L1.
[0051] In another embodiment of the present application, the road feel simulator is further provided with an angle adjustment mechanism 40 and a length adjustment mechanism 50. The angle adjustment mechanism 40 includes: an angle adjustment motor 41, an angle motor reduction mechanism 42, a connecting shaft 43, an angle adjustment slider 44, and an angle adjustment bracket 45. The length adjustment mechanism 50 includes a length adjustment motor 51, a length motor reduction mechanism 52, a screw 53, a length adjustment slider 54, a length adjustment bracket 55, and a pull-off piece 56. During length adjustment, the length adjustment motor 51 rotates forward or reverse, driving the screw 53 to rotate, and the length adjustment slider 54 slides back and forth relative to the screw 53, and drives the length adjustment bracket 55 to move. The length adjustment bracket 55 is connected to the pull-off piece 56 by screws, and the pull-off piece 56 is connected to the inner column tube 57 by screws. The inner column tube 57 moves and drives the main shaft 20 to move back and forth. A proper amount of lubricating oil can be applied to the sliding fitting parts to prevent abnormal noise or damage to parts due to dry grinding.
[0052] In another embodiment of the present application, the length adjustment distance of the road feel simulator is usually 50mm. On the basis of ensuring the normal adjustment range of 50mm for the user, Xmm is further added for anti-rotation of the steering wheel. The road feel simulator adjustment method adopted by this patent is electric adjustment. The electrically adjustable road feel simulators in the industry all have a welcome function. After the vehicle is powered off, the road feel simulator is shortened to the shortest to facilitate users to get on and off the vehicle. When the user turns off the engine, the controller controls the road feel simulator to shorten to 50mm, and then continues to shorten it by Xmm so that the first connecting rod 31 provided on the housing engages with the anti-rotation ring pressed on the end of the main shaft to achieve anti-rotation of the steering wheel. The specific functions are as follows:
[0053] 1). When the vehicle is in the starting state, such as Figure 6 As shown, the driver can adjust the length of the road feel simulator through the road feel simulator adjustment button. The normal adjustment range A is usually 50mm. The driver's adjustment of the road feel simulator position through the button is only effective within this range;
[0054] 2) When the driver turns off the engine and turns off the power, the vehicle welcome function starts, such as Figure 7 、 8 As shown, the road feel simulator drives the steering wheel to retract to the lowest position of the normal adjustment range A and then retracts Xmm. This Xmm distance cannot be adjusted by the driver through the adjustment button and can only be adjusted by the road feel simulator controller when the welcome function is activated. When the first connecting rod 31 and the anti-rotation ring are in the gear misalignment position, as shown in FIG. Figure 7As shown, the first connecting rod is in position B. Due to the guiding effect of the first inclined surface 311 and the anti-rotation groove 234, the main shaft will automatically align its gears after rotating a certain angle, avoiding the first connecting rod 31 and the anti-rotation ring from colliding and getting stuck, which would cause the length adjustment motor to be blocked, thereby protecting the motor and achieving anti-rotation of the steering wheel at any angle.
[0055] 3) When the driver restarts the vehicle, the vehicle welcome function is activated, and the road feel simulator controller adjusts the road feel simulator to extend to the length before the last shutdown, so that the first connecting rod 31 moves to position C. At this time, the anti-rotation assembly 30 and the anti-rotation ring are disengaged, and the driver can use the steering function normally.
[0056] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "above", "above", "on the upper surface of", "above", etc. may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures.
