But this design leads to low transmission efficiency, significantly increases the motor load and energy consumption, and needs to control the helical angle machining tolerance precisely, and the process difficulty is high;

[0005] (2) the friction self -locking effect is improved by controlling the surface roughness of the worm. In actual production, the turning or cyclone milling process is used to maintain the roughness stability by frequently changing the tool, which directly leads to the increase of manufacturing cost, and the metal debris generated by the surface micro - convex body wear can accelerate the failure of the transmission system;

[0006] (3) high static friction coefficient special lubricating grease is used, and the oil exists low temperature viscosity mutation (the viscosity increases 2-3 orders of magnitude at-20 DEG C) and aging recession problem (the friction coefficient attenuation reaches 40% after 2 years of service), which is difficult to meet the 10 years life cycle requirement of the vehicle mounted system;

[0007] The mechanical structure optimization leads to energy loss, and the material modification scheme has the durability defect. Especially when the environmental temperature changes, the mechanical wear accumulates and the lubrication state changes, the performance of the existing self -locking system will appear attenuation, and there is serious safety hazard.
