In addition, those skilled in the art may combine and combine the different embodiments or examples described in this specification and the features of the different embodiments or examples, without contradiction.

[0028] In the structure of modern vehicles, the steering trapezoidal mechanism is a key component for the vehicle to perform steering operations. When the vehicle is turning, the steering trapezoidal mechanism can ensure that the wheels at both ends of the axle 400 are deflected at a fixed angle relationship, so that the two steering wheels can make circular motions with different turning radii, realize rolling contact between the tires and the ground, reduce tire wear, and improve the steering performance of the vehicle.

[0029] The existing steering trapezoidal mechanism is usually designed by computer simulation. First, some preliminary dimensional parameters of the steering trapezoidal mechanism are designed by computer simulation. Then, the effect of the steering trapezoidal mechanism with the preliminary dimensional parameters in actual application is confirmed through production and vehicle installation verification. However, in order to verify the effect of different dimensional parameters, it is usually necessary to produce multiple sets of steering trapezoidal mechanisms of different sizes. The production of each set of steering trapezoidal mechanism requires a lot of materials and manpower, resulting in a very high design cost of the steering trapezoidal mechanism.

[0030] In addition, each time a new set of steering trapezoidal mechanisms was replaced during the experiment, complex assembly and disassembly operations were required, which not only increased the workload, but also greatly delayed the progress of the experiment and affected the overall R&D cycle.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, in order to conveniently adjust the geometrical dimension parameters of the steering trapezoidal mechanism in the vehicle loading experiment, so as to verify the actual effect of the steering trapezoidal mechanism under different dimension parameters. In the embodiment of the present invention, a steering trapezoidal mechanism of a vehicle is introduced.

[0032] The steering trapezoidal structure mainly includes: a steering knuckle 300 , a trapezoidal arm 100 and a steering tie rod 200 .

[0033] Specifically, the steering knuckle 300 is swingably disposed at the end of the axle 400 for mounting the steering wheel. The trapezoidal arm 100 is disposed obliquely to the axle 400 and connected to the steering knuckle 300 at one end. The steering tie rod 200 is hinged to the end of the trapezoidal arm 100 that is away from the steering knuckle 300. Preferably, one end of the trapezoidal arm 100 is fixedly connected to the steering knuckle 300, and the other end of the trapezoidal arm 100 extends toward the mid-vertical plane of the axle 400. In addition, the trapezoidal arm 100 is cantilevered obliquely from the outer periphery of the axle 400. The steering tie rod 200 is hinged to the other end of the trapezoidal arm 100.

[0034] The tie rod 200 and the axle 400 are arranged parallel to each other in the initial position. The two ends of the tie rod 200 are respectively provided with the trapezoidal arms 100. Moreover, the trapezoidal arms 100 are movably connected with the axle 400 through the steering knuckle 300. The tie rod 200 is parallel to the axle 400, so that the tie rod 200 and the axle 400 and the trapezoidal arms 100 at both ends of the axle 400 together form a trapezoidal connecting rod mechanism.

[0035] An adjustment assembly 110 is provided at the connection between the trapezoidal arm 100 and the steering knuckle 300 , for adjusting the relative position of the steering tie rod 200 and the axle 400 .

[0036] Specifically, one end of the trapezoidal arm 100 is connected to the steering knuckle 300 through the adjustment assembly 110, and the relative position of the trapezoidal arm 100 and the steering knuckle 300 can be adjusted by setting the adjustment assembly 110. For example, by adjusting the front-to-back position, left-to-right position, or up-down position of the trapezoidal arm 100 and the steering knuckle 300, the front-to-back spacing between the steering tie rod 200 and the axle 400, the length of the steering tie rod 200, or the height position of the steering tie rod 200 and the axle 400 can be adjusted accordingly, thereby adjusting the ratio of the deflection angles between the two trapezoidal arms 100 in the swinging process of the steering trapezoidal mechanism composed of them.

[0037] In this embodiment, the steering trapezoidal mechanism can freely adjust its own dimensional parameters by adjusting the component 110, so that a set of steering trapezoidal mechanisms can be used to conveniently verify the effect of the steering trapezoidal mechanism under various dimensional parameters in actual use, which can not only speed up the progress of the verification experiment, but also save the production cost.

[0038] like Figure 4 As shown, based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, a trapezoidal arm 100 is introduced to facilitate installation of an adjustment component 110.

[0039] The trapezoidal arm 100 includes an arm support 120 provided with a guide groove 121. The adjustment assembly 110 is embedded in the guide groove 121. The guide groove 121 vertically penetrates the vertical side surface of the arm support 120 and extends along the length direction of the arm support 120.

[0040] Specifically, the arm bracket 120 is provided with a guide groove 121 that passes through both sides. The guide groove 121 extends from one end of the arm bracket 120 in a straight line direction, and the extension length is at least greater than one third of the length of the arm bracket 120. Moreover, one end of the adjustment component 110 is fixedly connected to the steering knuckle 300, and the other end of the adjustment component 110 is embedded in the guide groove 121.

[0041] By adjusting the relative position of the adjusting component 110 and the guide groove 121, the relative position of the arm bracket 120 and the adjusting component 110 in three directions perpendicular to each other can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the relative position of the trapezoidal arm 100 and the steering knuckle 300 to achieve adjustment of the dimensional parameters of the steering trapezoidal mechanism.

[0042] This will reduce the design and verification costs of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, improve experimental efficiency, and accelerate the research and development process of the steering trapezoidal mechanism. It will also improve the overall performance of the vehicle steering system and ensure the stability and safety of the vehicle under various driving conditions.

[0043] Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, an adjustment component 110 disposed in a steering ladder mechanism is introduced.

[0044] The adjustment assembly 110 includes a mounting block 111 and an adjustment plate 112. Specifically, the mounting block 111 is embedded in the guide groove 121 and has a gap with the side wall of the guide groove 121. Correspondingly, the adjustment plate 112 is padded in the gap between the mounting block 111 and the guide groove 121. When adjusting the size of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, the relative position of the arm bracket 120 and the adjustment assembly 110 can be adjusted by adjusting the number of adjustment plates 112 on both sides of the mounting block 111 in the same direction.

[0045] For example, the adjustment plate 112 includes: a front and rear adjustment plate, an upper and lower adjustment plate, and a left and right adjustment plate. In addition, the mounting block 111 is provided with two through holes. The steering knuckle 300 is provided with an internal threaded hole that matches the through hole. The bolt can pass through the through hole to connect with the internal threaded hole of the steering knuckle 300 and fix the trapezoidal arm 100 on the steering knuckle 300. The left and right adjustment plates are provided with through holes corresponding to the through holes of the mounting block 111. The bolts penetrate the left and right adjustment plates and the mounting block 111 to ensure that the left and right adjustment plates move together with the mounting block 111. In addition, the left and right sides of the trapezoidal arm 100 are respectively provided with left and right adjustment plates, which are clamped and fixed on the steering knuckle 300 by the left and right adjustment plates.

[0046] In the front-to-back direction, the two ends of the mounting block 111 have a gap with the guide groove 121 and are padded with front-to-back adjustment plates. The trapezoidal arm 100 can be moved backward relative to the steering knuckle 300 by reducing the front-to-back adjustment plates at the front end of the mounting block 111 and increasing the front-to-back adjustment plates at the rear end of the mounting block 111, thereby reducing the spacing between the steering tie rod 200 and the axle 400.

[0047] Alternatively, in the up-down direction, both ends of the mounting block 111 have gaps with the guide groove 121 and upper and lower adjustment plates are provided. By reducing the upper and lower adjustment plates at the upper end of the mounting block 111 and increasing the upper and lower adjustment plates at the lower end of the mounting block 111, the trapezoidal arm 100 can be moved downward relative to the steering knuckle 300, thereby reducing the height of the steering tie rod 200 relative to the axle 400.

[0048] In this embodiment, the length or deflection angle of the steering trapezoidal mechanism in the experiment can be adjusted by adjusting the assembly 110. Without replacing the entire mechanism, the geometric size parameters can be quickly adjusted, saving the time of assembly and disassembly. In addition, the steering trapezoidal mechanism with different size parameters is tested to verify the influence of the steering trapezoidal arm 100 on tire wear, steering accuracy, etc. during driving after it is actually installed on the vehicle, so as to more accurately evaluate the effects of different parameters.

[0049] On the basis of the above-mentioned embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, in order to enable the steering tie rod 200 to connect two trapezoidal arms 100 with different spacings and adapt to the characteristics of changes in dimensional parameters of the steering trapezoidal mechanism, a connection structure between the trapezoidal arm 100 and the steering tie rod 200 is introduced.

[0050] The other end of the arm support 120 opposite to the guide groove 121 is provided with a tapered hole 122. The central axis of the tapered hole 122 is perpendicular to the direction in which the guide groove 121 penetrates the arm support 120, so as to facilitate the installation and removal of the steering tie rod 200.

[0051] Specifically, the steering tie rod 200 and the arm bracket 120 are rotatably connected via a hinge 210. The hinge 210 is mounted on the end of the steering tie rod 200. In addition, one end of the hinge 210 is arranged to coincide with the central axis of the tapered hole 122.

[0052] Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, a steering trapezoidal mechanism of a vehicle is introduced.

[0053] like Figure 3 As shown, the hinge 210 is provided with a tapered pin and a threaded pin connected by a spherical end. The tapered pin extends in the vertical direction and coincides with the central axis of the tapered hole 122. The threaded pin extends in the horizontal direction and coincides with the central axis of the steering tie rod 200.

[0054] In addition, the two ends of the steering tie rod 200 are respectively provided with internal thread structures. The two internal thread structures have opposite rotation directions. The threaded pin is provided with an external thread structure corresponding to the rotation direction of the internal thread structure.

[0055] In this way, when adjusting the size of the steering trapezoidal mechanism during the experiment, the spacing between the trapezoidal arms 100 at both ends can be adjusted by rotating the steering tie rod 200, so that the steering trapezoidal mechanisms with different size parameters can be replaced in a short time, reducing the time of assembly and disassembly operations.

[0056] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, based on the above embodiment, in order to prevent the steering tie rod 200 and the hinge 210 from loosening during use, another embodiment of the present invention introduces a steering tie rod 200 with an anti-loosening structure.

[0057] The end of the steering tie rod 200 is provided with a locking groove 220. The locking groove 220 extends from the end surface of the steering tie rod 200 to the middle of the steering tie rod 200 along the axial direction of the steering tie rod 200, dividing the end of the steering tie rod 200 into two parts.

[0058] Specifically, the locking groove 220 divides the end of the tie rod into two parts that can be closed under pressure and restored to their original positions, so as to change the diameter of the end of the steering tie rod 200. When the end of the steering tie rod 200 is subjected to a clamping force, the internal thread structure of the steering tie rod 200 can reduce its diameter due to the closing of the end and be locked with the threaded pin.

[0059] Furthermore, the steering trapezoidal mechanism further comprises a clamp 500 which is sleeved on the outer periphery of the steering tie rod 200 and is used to clamp and squeeze the end of the steering tie rod 200 to fasten the hinge 210 to the steering tie rod 200 .

[0060] Based on the above embodiment, in another embodiment of the present invention, a steering trapezoidal mechanism of a vehicle is introduced.

[0061] The adjustment plate 112 includes a front and rear adjustment plate. The front and rear adjustment plates are respectively arranged in the gaps between the end surfaces of the mounting block 111 at both ends in the length direction of the arm support 120 and the side walls of the guide slot 121 to adjust the relative positions of the arm support 120 and the adjustment assembly 110 in the length direction of the arm support 120.

[0062] Furthermore, the arm bracket 120 is provided with a fastening threaded hole 123 , which passes through from the end surface of the arm bracket 120 to the guide groove 121 along the length direction of the arm bracket 120 , and a bolt can be installed to tighten the front and rear adjustment plates.

[0063] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0064] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
