Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile steering gears, and more specifically, to a gear-type automobile electric power steering gear. Background Art
[0002] The working principle of the gear-type automotive electric power steering is based on the basic structure of the gear rack steering, that is, a pair of intermeshing pinions and racks. When the steering wheel is turned, the pinion in the steering gear rotates, driving the rack in the steering gear to move in the direction of the steering wheel. This movement is transmitted to the steering knuckle arm through the end of the steering gear rack and the end of the steering tie rod, so that the wheel rotates and the steering function of the vehicle is realized; the electric power steering system EPS provides electric assistance for this steering gear, and provides auxiliary torque through the motor. Compared with the traditional hydraulic power steering system, EPS has many advantages, such as high energy efficiency, fast response speed, fewer system components, and easy maintenance. EPS is mainly composed of torque sensor, vehicle speed sensor, motor, reduction mechanism and electronic control unit ECU, which can provide appropriate power according to the driving conditions of the vehicle, thereby reducing the steering burden of the driver.

The shell adopts an integral design to reduce the error caused by assembly, reduce the cost and assembly cycle, and make the spatial envelope of the steering gear more compact, which is convenient for arrangement in the automobile chassis space. The sensor unit and the worm gear reduction mechanism are isolated by a plastic partition to avoid mutual influence between the two.

[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0055] Reference below Figure 1-Figure 8 The gear-type automotive electric power steering device and its working principle recorded in the embodiments of the present application are described.
[0056] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The embodiment of the present application discloses a gear-type automotive electric power steering device, including a shell 1, a device shell 11 is arranged on the top of the shell 1, a power-assist shaft 2 is slidably arranged on the inner side of the shell 1, an oil box 3 is detachably arranged on the bottom of the shell 1, a filter plate 31 is obliquely arranged on the inner side of the oil box 3 for filtering lubricating oil, a circulation mechanism 4 is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the shell 1, and is used to suck out the lubricating oil inside the oil box 3 and re-inject it into the inside of the device shell 11, and a driving motor 5 is arranged on the top of the oil box 3 for driving the power-assist shaft 2 to realize the steering function and for driving the circulation mechanism 4 to operate.
[0057] The basic steering function of the equipment can be achieved by driving the power-assist shaft 2 through the driving motor 5, and while driving the power-assist shaft 2, the driving circulation mechanism 4 sucks out the lubricating oil inside the oil box 3 and presses it back into the device shell 11. The lubricating oil lubricates the device inside the equipment and finally falls back into the oil box 3. It is filtered through the filter plate 31 in the oil box 3 and waits for the next absorption by the circulation mechanism 4. The equipment can filter the lubricating oil and realize the circulation flow of the lubricating oil. The technical problem that the commutator will affect the lubricating oil protection performance due to wear is solved, and the technical effect that the impurities inside the commutator can be cleaned to reduce the impact on the lubricating oil protection performance is achieved.
[0058] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A tooth plate 21 is provided on the outer side of the power-assisting shaft 2, and a tooth column 22 is meshed on the outer side of the tooth plate 21. The tooth plate 21 and the tooth column 22 are both inclined. A worm wheel 23 is fixed on the top of the tooth column 22, and a worm 24 is meshed on the outer side of the worm wheel 23. One end of the worm 24 is fixed to the output end of the drive motor 5.
[0059] The driving motor 5 can drive the worm 24 to rotate, and the worm 24 drives the worm wheel 23 to rotate to perform a deceleration process. The worm wheel 23 drives the gear column 22 to rotate, thereby driving the gear plate 21 to move, so that the power-assist shaft 2 can complete the steering effect, thereby ensuring the basic steering function of the equipment.
[0060] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A bearing ring 111 is disposed on the inner side of the device shell 11 for connecting the gear column 22 . A plurality of oil leakage ports 112 are provided around the bearing ring 111 on the inner side of the device shell 11 . A transparent tube 113 is disposed on the bottom of the device shell 11 .
[0061] The lubricating oil is used to lubricate the structure inside the device shell 11, and then falls into the oil box 3 through multiple oil leaks 112, wherein a small amount of lubricating oil and impurities may remain in the device shell 11. The staff can roughly judge the amount of oil and impurities in the device shell 11 through the transparent tube 113, so that the staff can clean the lubricating oil in the device shell 11 in time.
[0062] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The oil box 3 also includes a connecting pipe A32, which is fixedly arranged on the outside of the oil box 3. An observation window 33 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the oil box 3, and a stirring rod 221 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the gear column 22.
[0063] The filter plate 31 and the oil box 3 are arranged at an angle so that a clean oil groove is separated in the oil box 3. The connecting pipe A32 can suck out the lubricating oil in the clean oil groove under the action of the circulation mechanism 4. The observation window 33 can facilitate the staff to observe the sediment inside the oil box 3. The stirring rod 221 can rotate when the gear column 22 is working, driving the lubricating oil inside the oil box 3 to flow, and preventing impurities in the lubricating oil from blocking the top of the filter plate 31.
[0064] In the above technical solution, the gear column 22 is rotatably disposed in the connecting shell 12 , and the bottom end of the connecting shell 12 is connected to the oil box 3 through an oil overflow pipe 13 .
[0065] In a specific embodiment, a sedimentation chamber is provided on one side of the oil box 3, the filter plate 31 is provided on one side of the sedimentation chamber, and the bottom end of the inclined filter plate 31 is higher than the sedimentation chamber, and the oil overflow pipe 13 is provided toward the sedimentation chamber.
[0066] In the above technical solution, the lubricating oil entering the oil box 3 through the oil overflow pipe 13 is not directly injected onto the top of the filter plate 31, so as to avoid some fine impurities directly passing through the filter plate and participating in the circulation again.
[0067] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The four corners of the top of the oil box 3 are fixed to the bottom of the housing 1 through four connecting pieces B34, and the top of the connecting pipe A32 is fixed to the circulation mechanism 4 through a connecting piece A321.
[0068] The four connectors B34 and the connector A321 can facilitate the disassembly of the oil box 3, making it convenient for workers to clean the oil box 3, thereby improving the use effect of the equipment.
[0069] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The circulation mechanism 4 includes a tube body 41, and a one-way oil outlet valve 411 and a one-way oil inlet valve 412 are arranged on the outer side of the tube body 41. The one-way oil outlet valve 411 transports the lubricating oil to the next process through the oil outlet pipe 4111, and the one-way oil inlet valve 412 absorbs the lubricating oil through the oil inlet pipe 4121, wherein the oil inlet pipe 4121 is fixedly arranged with the connecting piece C4122 and the connecting piece A321, and a driving structure 42 is arranged on the inner side of the tube body 41, and the driving structure 42 includes a piston 421, which is used to drive the tube body 41 to operate.
[0070] The piston 421 drives the tube body 41 to operate, so that the tube body 41 can absorb the lubricating oil in the connecting pipe A32 through the oil inlet pipe 4121 and the one-way oil inlet valve 412, and then, driven by the tube body 41, press the lubricating oil into the outer casing 1 through the one-way oil outlet valve 411 and the oil outlet pipe 4111, thereby completing the circulation effect of the equipment.
[0071] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 The driving structure 42 also includes a threaded moving block 4211, the bottom of the threaded moving block 4211 is fixed to the piston 421, the inner thread of the threaded moving block 4211 is provided with a reciprocating screw 422, and a group of pulleys 423 are provided at one end of the reciprocating screw 422, the inner side of one pulley 423 is fixed to the outer side of the reciprocating screw 422, the inner side of the other pulley 423 is fixed to a driving shaft of the driving motor 5 through a one-way bearing A4231, the inner ring of the one-way bearing A4231 is fixed to the driving shaft of the driving motor 5, the outer ring of the one-way bearing A4231 is fixed to the inner side of the pulley 423, and the outer sides of the two pulleys 423 are meshed with a belt 424.
[0072] While the driving motor 5 drives the power-assisting shaft 2 in the forward direction, the one-way bearing A4231 drives the pulley 423 and the belt 424 to operate, thereby driving the reciprocating screw 422 to rotate, and the reciprocating screw 422 drives the threaded moving block 4211 to move, thereby driving the piston 421 to move, so that the tube body 41 completes the action of absorbing or squeezing out the lubricating oil.
[0073] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The driving structure 42 also includes a gear box 425, a driving shaft of the gear box 425 is fixed to the other end of the reciprocating screw 422, an input shaft of the gear box 425 is fixedly provided with a gear A426, an outer side of the gear A426 is meshed with a gear B427, an inner side of the gear B427 is fixed to one end of the worm 24 through a one-way bearing B4271, wherein the inner ring of the one-way bearing B4271 is fixed to the outer side of the worm 24, and the outer ring of the one-way bearing B4271 is fixed to the inner side of the gear B427.
[0074] While the driving motor 5 drives the power-assisting shaft 2 in reverse, under the one-way effect of the one-way bearing B4271, the worm 24 drives the gear B427 to rotate in reverse, thereby driving the gear A426 to rotate forward, and through the transmission of the gear box 425, the reciprocating screw 422 still rotates forward, and the reciprocating screw 422 drives the threaded moving block 4211 to move, thereby driving the piston 421 to move, so that the tube body 41 completes the action of absorbing or squeezing out the lubricating oil.
[0075] That is, in the above technical solution, no matter in which direction the driving motor 5 rotates to drive the power-assisting shaft 2 to work, the rotation direction of the reciprocating screw 422 remains unchanged, so that the piston 421 in the tube body 41 can effectively absorb or press out the lubricating oil, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the circulation of the lubricating oil between the device shell 11 and the oil box 3.
[0076] In a better solution, a pressure valve is provided in the oil overflow pipe 13. When the piston 421 moves under the rotation of the reciprocating screw 422, the lubricating oil in the oil box 3 enters the pipe body 41 through the connecting pipe A32, so that the pressure in the oil box 3 decreases, and the pressure valve opens to allow part of the lubricating oil to enter the oil box. This technical solution allows part of the lubricating oil to be stored in the connecting shell 12 in the working state, so that the tooth plate 21 and the tooth column 22 in the connecting shell 12 can be fully lubricated.
[0077] The pressure valve in the above scheme can be a commonly used spring-loaded valve or a duckbill valve. The pressure valve can only be opened when the circulation mechanism 4 is running, and the lubricating oil enters the oil box 3. Based on the above records, the oil overflow pipe 13 is arranged toward the sedimentation chamber. Therefore, when the pressure valve is opened, even if the lubricating oil enters the oil box 3 at a faster flow rate, no impurities will directly pass through the filter plate 31 under the impact of the lubricating oil, so that the filter plate 31 can better filter the lubricating oil in the oil box 3.
[0078] In addition, in the above technical scheme, when and only when the driving motor 5 drives the power-assisting shaft 2 to work, the piston 421 in the circulation mechanism 4 moves in the tube body 41 to press the lubricating oil in the oil box 3 into the device shell 11, and then enters the gear plate 21 and the gear column 22 from the oil leakage port 112 to lubricate the working parts; and as the working frequency of the power-assisting shaft 2 increases, the absorption and extrusion frequency of the lubricating oil by the circulation mechanism 4 increases synchronously, ensuring that the power-assisting shaft 2 can be fully lubricated under high-frequency operation, and this process does not require the aid of external metering equipment or feedback equipment, reducing the investment in the control system in the overall device.
[0079] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 8 A heat dissipation mechanism 6 is arranged on the outside of the driving motor 5, and the heat dissipation mechanism 6 includes a heat dissipation box 61. One end of the oil outlet pipe 4111 is fixedly arranged on the outside of the heat dissipation box 61. A semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62 is arranged on the inside of the heat dissipation box 61. The hot end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62 is arranged on the side away from the heat dissipation box 61. The inner end of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62 is arranged on the side close to the heat dissipation box 61. Heat dissipation fins 63 are arranged on the outside of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62. A cleaning brush 64 is fixedly arranged on one end of the reciprocating screw rod 422 close to the heat dissipation fins 63. A connecting pipe B611 is fixedly arranged on the top of the heat dissipation box 61. One end of the connecting pipe B611 is fixedly arranged on the top of the device shell 11.
[0080] The oil outlet pipe 4111 inputs the lubricating oil into the heat sink box 61. An S-shaped heat sink is provided in the heat sink box 61. The lubricating oil is dissipated by the cooling effect of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62. The heat is dissipated from the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 62 by the heat dissipation fins 63. When the reciprocating screw 422 rotates, the surface of the heat dissipation fins 63 can be cleaned by the cleaning brush 64. The connecting pipe B611 transports the lubricating oil to the device shell 11.
[0081] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 A torque sensor 4221 is provided on the outer side of the reciprocating screw 422 for detecting the torque of the reciprocating screw 422 , and a controller 51 is provided at the bottom of the driving motor 5 , which receives the torque signal and controls the operation of the driving motor 5 .
[0082] The torque of the reciprocating screw 422 can be detected by the torque sensor 4221. The filtering effect of the oil box 3 can be judged according to the torque degree of the reciprocating screw 422, and the oil box 3 can be cleaned or replaced. The controller 51 can receive the torque signal of the reciprocating screw 422 and control the operation of the drive motor 5.

The lubricating oil lubricates the device inside the equipment and finally falls back into the oil box 3. It is filtered by the filter plate 31 in the oil box 3 and waits for the next absorption by the circulation mechanism 4.
