Description

[0002] The steering system is a key component in determining a vehicle's lateral stability. To enhance this, active steering systems have been developed and widely adopted. Based on traditional steering systems, active steering systems employ an electromechanical mechanism that superimposes an active steering angle. This system autonomously adjusts the steering wheel angle based on real-time vehicle conditions, thereby ensuring lateral stability in complex driving conditions. Furthermore, to ensure the ease of steering required by active steering systems, active steering systems with power steering have become a current research and development focus.

[0003] Currently, active steering systems with power steering primarily employ a split design, meaning the power steering module and active steering module are independently designed and developed, involving two sets of motor hardware: the active steering motor and the power steering motor. Furthermore, the power steering module and active steering module are primarily implemented using a combination of motors and mechanical transmission devices (worm gears, planetary gears, etc.). This approach presents the following issues: 1. The split design of the active steering module and power steering module can easily lead to low integration, large size, and heavy weight in the vehicle's active steering system, making installation and use inconvenient. 2. The split design of the active steering module and power steering module requires two sets of motor hardware, resulting in high costs. 3.
