Description

Technical Field

[0002] The automotive electric power steering is a power steering system that uses an electric motor to provide auxiliary torque. The following is a detailed introduction to the automotive electric power steering: When the driver turns the steering wheel, the torque sensor detects the torque change of the steering shaft and converts this information into an electrical signal and transmits it to the ECU. The ECU calculates the required motor power assistance based on the signals from the vehicle speed sensor and torque sensor, and controls the motor to output the corresponding power assistance torque, which is amplified by the reduction mechanism and acts on the mechanical steering gear to assist the driver in overcoming steering resistance.

[0003] Problems with existing technologies:

[0004] When the electric power steering is in use, when the car passes through a bumpy road, the vibration force will be directly transmitted to the steering straight tie rod, and the screw, solenoid and gear in the steering gear that have a transmission relationship with the steering straight tie rod will cause friction due to the vibration force. As time goes by, the degree of wear will gradually increase, seriously shortening the service life of the parts. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a power steering device that can weaken the impact of the vibration force on the internal structure. Summary of the invention

[0023] The technical effects achieved by the present invention are:

[0024] When the power steering device of the present invention is in non-power steering, the vibration external force borne by the steering straight tie rod will act on the corresponding liquid plug 2 and the spring 1 through the power oil, so that the steering straight tie rod and the threaded tube shaft can have a short distance relative movement, avoiding the threaded tube shaft directly bearing the external force and causing wear between the threaded tube, thereby reducing the wear degree between the internal components of the steering device, helping to ensure the service life of each component; in addition, under the coordinated action of the springs 1 on both sides, the steering straight tie rod will eventually return to its original position, ensuring a normal power steering effect.

[0025] When the threaded pipe shaft leaks power-assisting oil and the sealing effect must be optimized, the sealing cap is removed and the abutment pipe is moved out of the end groove, and the damaged V-shaped sealing ring in the end groove is replaced, or several V-shaped sealing rings are added to the end groove, so as to quickly repair the seal between the threaded pipe shaft and the steering straight tie rod. This sealing structure changes the structure in which the traditional sealing ring cannot be quickly replaced and disassembled, and can respond to the power-assisting oil leakage event and make repairs as soon as possible, thereby ensuring a good sealing effect and optimizing the convenience of the repair operation.

[0026] The oil leakage warning structure in the present invention can facilitate maintenance personnel to quickly and directly discover that the threaded pipe shaft has oil leakage, and can also determine the leakage amount by the scale of the pointer corresponding to the scale plate. In addition, its internal structure can also make the moving distance of the warning slide plate far exceed the moving distance of the second liquid plug, thereby amplifying the displacement effect of the second liquid plug, making it easier to observe the oil leakage amount.

[0027] The combination of the anti-overflow valve and the oil filling cap in the present invention is convenient for maintenance personnel to directly replenish the power-assisted oil in the threaded pipe shaft, and cooperates with the pointer in the oil leakage prompt structure to restore the hydraulic pressure at one end of the threaded pipe shaft to its original state, thereby ensuring that the hydraulic pressure at both ends of the threaded pipe shaft is in a balanced state; in addition, the connection design between the top pipe and the valve core, in conjunction with spring two, can prevent the valve core from moving when not in operation, thereby ensuring the sealing performance; the ring plate outside the oil filling cap cooperates with springs three on both sides thereof, thereby preventing the oil filling cap from accidentally loosening when not in operation, thereby ensuring the stability of the parts.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific embodiments of the present invention, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection of the specific claims of the present invention.

[0039] like Figure 1-Figure 8As shown, an adaptive automobile electric power steering structure comprises a steering assist housing 1 and a steering rocker arm 4 which is transmission-connected to a steering wheel steering shaft. The steering assist housing 1 is fixedly installed inside a vehicle frame by bolts. A steering straight tie rod 2 is slidingly assembled inside the steering assist housing 1. A meshing section 201 is integrally provided on one side of the middle of the steering straight tie rod 2. The end of the steering rocker arm 4 extending to the inside of the steering assist housing 1 is fixedly connected with a helical cylindrical gear 401, and the helical cylindrical gear 401 is meshed with the meshing section 201. A torque sensor 5 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the steering assist housing 1 and at the meshing position between the helical cylindrical gear 401 and the meshing section 201. Steering knuckle arms 6 for traction wheel hubs are fixedly connected to both ends of the steering straight tie rod 2. Elastic rubber sleeves 3 are sleeved on the outer surface of the steering straight tie rod 2 and at the outside of both ends of the steering assist housing 1.

[0040] According to the above structure, when the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering shaft causes the steering rocker arm 4 to swing, and then the steering straight tie rod 2 moves laterally with the help of the engagement between the helical cylindrical gear 401 and the meshing section 201, and is transmitted to the steering knuckle and the steering knuckle arm 6 on the steering knuckle through the steering straight tie rod 2, thereby finally realizing the deflection of the wheel.

[0041] Embodiment 1:

[0042] See attached Figure 1-Figure 3 An open shell 101 is integrally provided on one side of the steering assist housing 1, a liquid plug 202 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the other side of the middle part of the steering straight tie rod 2, a threaded pipe shaft 8 is sleeved on the outer surface of the middle part of the steering straight tie rod 2, and the liquid plug 202 is sealed and arranged in the middle of the threaded pipe shaft 8, a double-position relief cylinder 11 is fixedly provided on one side of the threaded pipe shaft 8 and located inside the open shell 101, a solenoid 9 is movably screwed on the outer surface of the middle part of the threaded pipe shaft 8, a power steering motor 7 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the middle part of the steering assist housing 1, and the output end of the power steering motor 7 is transmission-connected to the solenoid 9 through a sleeved crawler 10.

[0043] See attached Figure 2-Figure 3 Both ends of the threaded tube shaft 8 are fixedly connected with oil guide pipes 806, and the ends of the two oil guide pipes 806 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the double-position relief cylinder 11. The two oil guide pipes 806 are equipped with ball core air valves 12 at one end close to the double-position relief cylinder 11. The ball core air valve 12 is assembled inside the ball core air valve 12 for controlling the dredging of the oil guide pipe 806. Both ends of the double-position relief cylinder 11 are provided with oil pressure chambers, and liquid plugs 1102 are slidably arranged inside the two oil pressure chambers. A spring 1101 is connected between the side where the two liquid plugs 1102 are close to each other and the inner wall of the oil pressure chamber. The interior of the threaded tube shaft 8 is filled with power-assisting oil, and the threaded tube shaft 8 is connected with the corresponding oil pressure chamber through the oil guide pipe 806.

[0044] See attached Figure 2-Figure 3 The torque sensor 5 is electrically connected to the power steering motor 7 and the ball-core air valve 12 at the same time. When the torque sensor 5 detects that the steering rocker arm 4 rotates, the power steering motor 7 is started at the same time and the ball-core air valve 12 is in a closed state. When the torque sensor 5 detects that the steering rocker arm 4 stops rotating, the power steering motor 7 is closed at the same time and the ball-core air valve 12 is in a clear state.

[0045] According to the above structure, when the torque sensor 5 detects that the steering rocker arm 4 stops rotating, the power steering motor 7 is turned off at the same time and the ball core air valve 12 is in a clear state. Figure 3 As shown, when the car passes through a bumpy road section and the vibration is transmitted to the steering straight tie rod 2, the steering straight tie rod 2 is displaced due to the vibration external force F. Since the power-assisting oil inside the threaded tube shaft 8 is in a flowing state at this time, a relatively short distance of relative work can occur between the steering straight tie rod 2 and the threaded tube shaft 8, and the liquid plug 1 202 will push the power-assisting oil on one side thereof along the route L into the oil pressure chamber at one end of the double-position relief oil cylinder 11, and the corresponding liquid plug 2 1102 will move and squeeze the corresponding spring 1 1101, while the liquid plug 2 1102 at the other end will move in the opposite direction and stretch the corresponding spring 1 1101. At this time, the work done by the vibration external force F on the steering straight tie rod 2 will be transferred to the corresponding liquid plug 2 1102 and the spring 1 1101 through the power-assisting oil. Under the coordinated action of the springs 1 1101 on both sides, the steering straight tie rod 2 will eventually return to its original position;

[0046] In the above process, when the power steering gear is in non-power steering, the vibration external force borne by the steering straight tie rod 2 will act on the corresponding liquid plug 2 1102 and the spring 1 101 through the power oil, so that a relatively short distance can occur between the steering straight tie rod 2 and the threaded tube shaft 8, thereby preventing the threaded tube shaft 8 from directly bearing the external force and causing wear between the threaded tube 9, thereby reducing the degree of wear between the internal components of the steering gear and helping to ensure the service life of each component; in addition, under the coordinated action of the springs 1101 on both sides, the steering straight tie rod 2 will eventually return to its original position, ensuring a normal power steering effect.

[0047] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the power steering is in operation, when the torque sensor 5 detects that the steering rocker arm 4 is rotating, the power steering motor 7 is started at the same time and the ball core air valve 12 is in a closed state, and the power steering motor 7 drives the solenoid 9 to rotate together through the crawler 10. Since the solenoid 9 is threadedly connected with the threaded tube shaft 8, the threaded tube shaft 8 moves laterally and linearly. Since the power oil inside the threaded tube shaft 8 is in a non-circulating state at this time, the power oil applies pressure to the liquid plug 202 and drives the steering straight tie rod 2 to rotate together, thereby completing the work of power steering the vehicle;

[0048] When the torque sensor 5 detects that the steering rocker arm 4 stops rotating, the power steering motor 7 is turned off at the same time and the ball core air valve 12 is in a clear state. Figure 3 As shown, when the car passes through a bumpy road section and the vibration is transmitted to the steering straight tie rod 2, the steering straight tie rod 2 is displaced due to the vibration external force F. Since the power-assisting oil inside the threaded tube shaft 8 is in a flowing state at this time, a relatively short distance of relative work can occur between the steering straight tie rod 2 and the threaded tube shaft 8, and the liquid plug 1 202 will push the power-assisting oil on one side thereof along the route L into the oil pressure chamber at one end of the double-position relief cylinder 11, and the corresponding liquid plug 2 1102 will move and squeeze the corresponding spring 1 1101, while the liquid plug 2 1102 at the other end will move in the opposite direction and stretch the corresponding spring 1 1101. At this time, the work done by the vibration external force F on the steering straight tie rod 2 will be transferred to the corresponding liquid plug 2 1102 and the spring 1 1101 through the power-assisting oil. Under the coordinated action of the springs 1 1101 on both sides, the steering straight tie rod 2 will eventually return to its original position.

[0049] Embodiment 2:

[0050] See attached Figure 3-Figure 4 , both ends of the threaded tubular shaft 8 are provided with sealing structures, the sealing structures include a Y-shaped sealing ring 801, a V-shaped sealing ring 803 and a cover 804, the Y-shaped sealing ring 801 is embedded in the inner walls of both ends of the threaded tubular shaft 8, the cross-sectional shape of the Y-shaped sealing ring 801 is a Y-shaped one and the open side faces the inside of the threaded tubular shaft 8, both ends of the threaded tubular shaft 8 are provided with end grooves 802, the V-shaped sealing ring 803 is embedded in the end groove 802 in an array manner, the cross-sectional shape of the V-shaped sealing ring 803 is a V-shaped one and the open side faces the inside of the threaded tubular shaft 8, the cover 804 is fixedly installed on both ends of the threaded tubular shaft 8 by bolts, and the inner wall of the cover 804 is integrally provided with a push tube 805, the push tube 805 is inserted into the corresponding end groove 802 and is used to squeeze the V-shaped sealing ring 803 to be close to the outer surface of the steering straight tie rod 2.

[0051] According to the above structure, the Y-shaped sealing ring 801 and the plurality of V-shaped sealing rings 803 jointly ensure the sealing effect between the threaded tube shaft 8 and the steering straight tie rod 2, and avoid the leakage of the power-assisting oil inside the threaded tube shaft 8 as much as possible. In addition, when the power-assisting oil leaks and the sealing effect must be optimized, the cover 804 is removed and the abutting tube 805 is moved out of the end groove 802, and the damaged V-shaped sealing ring 803 in the end groove 802 is replaced, or a few more V-shaped sealing rings 803 are added to the end groove 802, so as to quickly repair the seal between the threaded tube shaft 8 and the steering straight tie rod 2. This sealing structure changes the structure in which the traditional sealing ring cannot be quickly replaced and disassembled, and can respond to the leakage of the power-assisting oil as soon as possible and make repairs, thereby optimizing the convenience of the repair operation while ensuring a good sealing effect.

[0052] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the power-assisting oil leaks and the sealing effect must be optimized, the sealing cover 804 is removed and the abutment tube 805 is moved out of the end groove 802, and the damaged V-shaped sealing ring 803 in the end groove 802 is replaced, or several additional V-shaped sealing rings 803 are added to the end groove 802, so as to quickly repair the sealing effect between the threaded pipe shaft 8 and the steering straight tie rod 2.

[0053] Embodiment three:

[0054] See attached Figure 6-Figure 7 An oil leakage warning structure is arranged on the outer side of the double-position relief cylinder 11, and a liquid plug 1102 is located on the edge of a side wall of the spring 1101 and is fixedly installed with a magnetic block 1103. The oil leakage warning structure includes a spring 1101 which is integrally arranged on the outer wall of one side of the double-position relief cylinder 11, and a slide groove 1104 is integrally arranged on both ends of the outer wall of the double-position relief cylinder 11 and on the inner side of the wall frame 1110, and a slider 1105 is slidably installed inside the slide groove 1104, and a magnetic block 1106 is embedded and fixedly installed on the inner wall of the slider 1105, and the magnetic block 1106 is connected to the adjacent magnetic block 1103 by magnetic force;

[0055] See attached Figure 6-Figure 7 , gear rods 1107 are fixedly arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the slide groove 1104, a wheel shaft is rotatably assembled on the outer side of the slider 1105, gears 1108 are fixedly installed on both ends of the wheel shaft, and gears 1108 are meshed with corresponding gear rods 1107, and gears 2 1109 are coaxially fixedly installed on the outer sides of the two gears 1108;

[0056] See attached Figure 6-Figure 7 The upper and lower surfaces of the ledge 1110 are both provided with a shelf sealing plate 1114, the side wall of the ledge 1110 is open and is also provided with a scale plate 1115, both ends of the interior of the ledge 1110 are slidably assembled with a prompt slide 1111, both sides of the top and bottom of the inner wall of the prompt slide 1111 are fixedly provided with a gear rod 1112, and the gear rod 1112 is meshed with the corresponding gear 1109, and a pointer 1113 is fixedly provided in the middle of the outer wall of the prompt slide 1111.

[0057] According to the above structure, when the power-assisting oil leaks from the threaded pipe shaft 8, the position of the second liquid plug 1102 at the leakage end in the corresponding oil pressure chamber will change, and under the magnetic attraction of the second magnetic block 1106 and the first magnetic block 1103, the slider 1105 on the corresponding side will also move. Since the gear 1108 is meshed with the toothed rod 1107 on the side wall of the slide groove 1104, when the slider 1105 moves, the gear 1108 will rotate accordingly, and the gear 2 1109 will rotate synchronously. Moreover, since the gear 2 1109 is meshed with the toothed rod 2 1112 on the inner wall of the prompt slide plate 1111, the prompt slide plate 1111 moves. In addition, when the slider 1105 moves, the contact between the gear 2 1109 and the toothed rod 2 1112 can drive the prompt slide plate 1111 to move, and the prompt slide plate 1111 can move under the meshing of the gear 2 1109 and the toothed rod 2 1112. The two The power-assisted movement direction is the same, so that the moving distance of the prompt slide 1111 is greater than the moving distance of the slider 1105. Since the transmission ratio between gear 1 108 and rack 1 1107 is different from the transmission ratio between gear 2 1109 and rack 2 1112, the moving distance of the prompt slide 1111 can be amplified. The staff can directly obtain the oil leakage situation by observing the position of the scale plate 1115 corresponding to the pointer 1113 on the outer wall of the prompt slide 1111. The oil leakage prompt structure can facilitate maintenance personnel to quickly and directly discover that the threaded pipe shaft 8 has oil leakage, and the leakage amount can also be determined by the scale of the scale plate 1115 corresponding to the pointer 1113. In addition, its internal structure can also make the moving distance of the prompt slide 1111 far exceed the moving distance of the liquid plug 2 1102, thereby amplifying the displacement effect of the liquid plug 2 1102, making it easier to observe the oil leakage amount.

[0058] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the power-assisting oil leaks from the threaded pipe shaft 8, the position of the liquid plug 1102 at the leakage end in the corresponding oil pressure chamber will change, and under the magnetic attraction of the magnetic block 1106 and the magnetic block 1103, the slider 1105 on the corresponding side will also move. Since the gear 1108 is meshed with the toothed rod 1107 on the side wall of the slide groove 1104, when the slider 1105 moves, the gear 1108 will rotate accordingly, and the gear 2 1109 will rotate synchronously. Moreover, since the gear 1109 is meshed with the toothed rod 1112 on the inner wall of the prompt slide plate 1111, the prompt slide plate 1111 moves. The maintenance personnel can directly obtain the oil leakage situation by observing the position of the scale plate 1115 corresponding to the pointer 1113 on the outer wall of the prompt slide plate 1111.
