[0002] The vehicle gear and rack mechanism, especially the gear and rack used for wheel guiding, is a key mechanical device widely used in automobile steering systems. Its main function is to convert the rotational motion of the driver's steering wheel into linear motion of the wheels, thereby controlling the steering of the vehicle. When the driver turns the steering wheel, the gears on the steering wheel shaft also rotate. The teeth of the gears mesh with the teeth on the rack, converting the rotational motion into linear motion of the rack. The rack transmits its linear motion to the wheels through connecting rods, causing the wheels to rotate as the driver intends, thereby changing the direction of the vehicle. This design not only provides precise steering control, but also helps the driver rotate the wheels more easily through the movement of the rack, improving driving comfort and safety.

[0003] The existing vehicle gear and rack mechanism lacks the function of cleaning stubborn impurities on the edges of the rack, causing these impurities to accumulate on the rack, affecting the normal operation of the gear and rack. In addition, there is no effective mechanism for collecting and cleaning impurities, making it difficult to concentrate on impurity treatment, increasing maintenance difficulty and time cost.

[0004] Therefore, the above-mentioned vehicle gear and rack mechanism with impurity collection function lacks the function of cleaning stubborn impurities on the edges of the rack, causing these impurities to accumulate on the rack, affecting the normal operation of the gear and rack. In addition, there is no effective mechanism for collecting and cleaning impurities, making it difficult to concentrate on impurity treatment, increasing maintenance difficulty and time cost. This problem needs to be solved to improve the use scenario of the vehicle gear and rack mechanism with impurity collection function. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The utility model will be further explained in combination with the drawings and examples.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment: a vehicle gear rack mechanism with impurity collection function, including a rack body 1, a guide rod 2 connected to the lower end of the rack body 1, a scraping mechanism 3 provided at the outer end of the rack body 1, the scraping mechanism 3 including a slider 31, a trapezoidal frame 32, a housing 33, and a scraper 34; the front and rear ends of the rack body 1 are slidably connected to the slider 31, the outer end of the slider 31 is connected to the trapezoidal frame 32, the outer end of the scraping mechanism 3 is provided with a cleaning mechanism 4, and the outer end of the scraping mechanism 3 is provided with an installation mechanism 5.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the scraping mechanism 3 can scrape away stubborn impurities on both sides of the rack body 1 when the rack body 1 moves. Combined with the cleaning mechanism 4, this facilitates the removal of impurities and provides a deep cleaning of the rack. This addresses the problem that existing automotive gear rack mechanisms lack the function of cleaning stubborn impurities from the rack edges, leading to impurity accumulation on the rack and affecting its normal operation. Furthermore, the lack of an effective mechanism for collecting and cleaning impurities results in the inability to centrally process them, increasing maintenance difficulty and time costs. The left and right sides of the upper end of the trapezoidal frame 32 are perpendicular to the trapezoidal frame 3. A scraper 34 is provided at the vertical center point of 2. The outer end of the trapezoidal frame 32 is connected to the box 33. The trapezoidal frame 32 facilitates the collection of impurities after they are scraped off and fall down the trapezoidal plate. There are two sliders 31 and four scrapers 34. The rack moves on the sliders 31 and works with the four scrapers 34 to scrape impurities from the front and back sides of the rack body 1, thereby achieving a cleaning effect. The cleaning mechanism 4 includes a collection box 41 and a handle 42. The collection box 41 is movably connected inside the box 33. The right end of the collection box 41 is connected to the handle 42, which makes it easy to pull out the collection box 41 for regular cleaning.

[0025] Please see Figures 2-4In the embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 4 comprises a positioning plate 43 and a positioning screw 44. The positioning plate 43 is movably connected to the front and rear sides of the right end of the collecting box 41. The positioning plate 43 is provided with two positioning plates 43. The positioning screw 44 is threadedly connected to the upper sides of the right end of the positioning plate 43. The positioning screw 44 is threadedly connected to the box body 33. The positioning screw 44 is provided with four positioning screws 44. The positioning screw 44 is used to fix the positioning plate 43, so as to prevent the rack body 1 from causing the collecting box 41 to fall off during operation. The cleaning mechanism 4 comprises a piston 45 and a brush 46. The piston 45 is connected to the left and right sides of the rear side of the upper end of the box body 33. The front end of the piston 45 is provided with the brush 46. The brush 46 is provided with two brushes 46. The piston 45 drives the brush 46 to move forward and backward. The brush 46 cleans the surface of the rack body 1. The impurities are pushed to the trapezoidal frame 32 and slide along the trapezoidal frame 32 to the collecting box 41. The installation mechanism 5 comprises an installation plate 51 and an installation hole 52. The installation plate 51 is connected to the left and right sides of the rear end of the box body 33. The installation plate 51 is provided with two installation plates 51. The installation hole 52 is formed in the middle of the installation plate 51. The installation hole 52 is connected with an external screw. The installation plate 51 is connected with the external screw through the installation hole 52, so as to facilitate the installation of the mechanism.

[0026] In operation, first, the installation plate 51 is matched with the interior of the automobile. After the matching is completed, the external screw is installed through the installation hole 52. The two sides of the guide rod 2 are installed in linkage with the external tire. After the installation is completed, the external guide gear is meshed and connected with the rack body 1. The external guide gear drives the rack body 1 to move left and right. The rack body 1 slides on the sliding block 31. When impurities are generated on the edges of the rack body 1, the rack body 1 moves left and right to the scraper 34. The scraper 34 can scrape off the impurities on the edges of the rack body 1. The scraped impurities slide along the trapezoidal frame 32 to the collecting box 41 in the box body 33. The piston 45 is started. The piston 45 drives the brush 46 to move forward and backward, so as to deeply clean the surface of the rack body 1. When the collecting box 41 needs to be cleaned regularly, the positioning screw 44 is detached from the positioning plate 43. The positioning plate 43 is separated from the collecting box 41. The handle 42 is pulled. The collecting box 41 is pulled out of the box body 33, so as to facilitate the cleaning of the collecting box 41.

[0027] Through the above steps, the scraper 34 can scrape off the stubborn impurities on the two sides of the rack body 1 when the rack body 1 moves. In combination with the cleaning mechanism 4, the impurities can be conveniently cleaned. The rack is deeply cleaned, so as to solve the problems that the existing automobile gear and rack mechanism lacks the function of cleaning the stubborn impurities on the edges of the rack, the impurities are accumulated on the rack, the normal operation of the gear and rack is affected, and there is no effective mechanism for collecting and cleaning the impurities, so that the impurities cannot be concentrated and treated, the maintenance difficulty and time cost are increased.

[0028] The embodiment of the utility model is explained in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiment, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range possessed by the person skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
