[0031] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the utility model, but are not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0032] As Figs. 1-2 The constant pressure equipment suitable for electric power steering machine worm includes a bearing bracket 1, which is characterized in that: one end of the bearing bracket 1 is provided with a force driving device 2, so as to provide effective electric power pressure according to the needs. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate pressure conduction, the utility model is provided with a guide device 3 on the bearing bracket 1, the guide device 3 is movably provided with a thrust transmission device 4, and the rear end of the thrust transmission device 4 is connected with the force driving device 2. Moreover, the front end of the thrust transmission device 4 is connected with a pressure head device 6 through a quantitative compression device 5. In this way, the pressure transmission can be realized by the butt joint of the pressure head device 6 and the electric power steering machine. Furthermore, the pressure head device 6 can be provided with a pressure touch sensor 7. The working condition of the force driving device 2 can be adjusted through the background system, so as to realize constant pressure.

[0033] In combination with a preferred embodiment of the utility model, the bearing bracket 1 is an L-shaped bracket, the L-shaped bracket is provided with a guide hole, the force driving device 2 is a cylinder, and the driving end of the cylinder is connected with the thrust transmission device 4 after being connected into the guide hole. Meanwhile, considering the need of subsequent installation and positioning, the bearing bracket 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 8, and the positioning holes 8 are provided with positioning screws.

[0034] Further, the guiding device 3 comprises a wire rail 9 connected with the bearing support 1, a sliding block 10 movably mounted on the wire rail 9, and the thrust transmission device 4 mounted on the sliding block 10. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate the adjustment of force transmission, the sliding block 10 has a better activity stroke and damping, and the damping adjusting screw is mounted on the sliding block 10. In this way, the contact tightness of the sliding block 10 and the wire rail 9 can be realized by the damping adjusting screw.

[0035] In combination with the actual implementation, the thrust transmission device 4 comprises a guide block 11 connected with the guiding device 3, a push rod 12 movably arranged in the guide block 11, a guide buckle 13 mounted on the rear end of the push rod 12, and the drive end head of the force driving device 2 connected with the guide buckle 13. Meanwhile, the front end of the push rod 12 is connected with the quantitative compression device 5. In this way, the pressure from the force driving device 2 can be stably transmitted to the quantitative compression device 5.

[0036] Further, in order to realize appropriate flexible buffering and maintain nearly constant force transmission, the quantitative compression device 5 comprises a mounting block 14 connected with the thrust transmission device 4, an adjusting space is arranged in the mounting block 14, and the butterfly spring 15 is mounted in the adjusting space.

[0038] The working principle of the utility model is as follows:

With the force of the cylinder, the stable pressure for a long time can be met under the cooperation of the quantitative compression device 5. The directional movement of the pressure head device 6 can be realized by the clamp 16, and the continuity of the force can be ensured. Therefore, the pre-pressure requirement of the turbine disc and the worm inside the steering machine during the running-in can be met, and the stable operation can be realized.
