[0002] The preload structure in a steer-by-wire column system is a design feature used to ensure the stability and accuracy of the system. By generating preload, it reduces vibrations caused by clearance, thereby improving driving experience and safety. The preload structure is a crucial component of the axially adjustable steer-by-wire column, reducing the clearance between the inner and outer columns to ensure a consistent frequency and stiffness during column movement, thus enhancing driving comfort and safety.
[0003] The preload structure of the steer-by-wire column system with adjustable axial length on existing vehicles uses a fixed clamping block composed of components such as screw plugs, disc springs, and pressure blocks to apply radial preload to the sliding column. However, this method consists of multiple parts, and the parts are made of alloy steel, which makes them heavy. This leads to plastic deformation after long-term cyclic loading, resulting in a gradual decrease in preload and a reduction in the overall modality. Utility Model Content

[0055] Fourth embodiment
[0056] Please refer to Figure 5 The present application provides schematic diagrams of the steer-by-wire column structure in some embodiments. Please refer to... Figure 6 , Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the installation structure of the control assembly provided in some embodiments of this application.
[0057] Based on the first to third embodiments, the steer-by-wire column system provided in this application includes:
[0058] The multi-layer support 100 includes a first movable support 110 and a second movable support 120.
[0059] The tubing assembly 200 is rotatably mounted on the first movable support 110;
[0060] The control assembly 300 is mounted on the second movable bracket 120. It drives the first movable bracket 110 and the second movable bracket 120 to move, thereby driving the column assembly 200 to extend and retract.
[0061] Optionally, the tubing assembly 200 is rotatably mounted on the first movable support 110, allowing the tubing assembly to rotate relative to the first movable support 110. The axial direction of the tubing assembly 200 is the same as the direction of movement of the first movable support 100.
[0062] Optionally, the control assembly 300 is detachably connected to the second movable bracket 120, and the detachable connection is achieved by means of fasteners, snap-fit, etc., thereby facilitating the replacement and maintenance of the control assembly. The mounting position of the control assembly 300 on the second movable bracket 120 is offset from the mounting hole 133 on the mounting bracket to improve the arrangement space for vehicle components such as the brake pedal and air conditioner.
[0063] Optionally, the output terminal of the control assembly 300 is connected to the column assembly 200, which is mounted on the first movable bracket. When the control assembly 300 drives the column assembly to move, it causes the first movable bracket 110 to move relative to the second movable bracket 120, and the second movable bracket 120 to move relative to the mounting bracket 130, thereby causing the column assembly 200 to extend or retract. The control assembly 300 drives the first movable bracket 110 and the second movable bracket 120 to move along the length direction, thereby causing the column assembly 200 to extend or retract.
[0064] In one embodiment, the control assembly 300 includes an angle adjustment motor that controls the rotation of the column assembly 200 relative to the first movable support 110.
[0065] In one embodiment, the control assembly 300 is located at one axial end of the column assembly 200 and is arranged along the axial direction of the column assembly 200, thereby reducing the space occupied by the steering column in the height direction.
[0066] In one embodiment, the steer-by-wire column further includes a communication interface, which is connected to the control assembly 300 and located on the side of the column assembly 200 away from the direction of movement of the first movable support 110. This reduces the layout space of the steer-by-wire column and facilitates the operator's connection to the communication interface, thereby improving the vehicle assembly efficiency.

The dual-screw telescopic motor includes a telescopic motor 410, a first screw 420, and a second screw 430. The first screw 420 is fixedly connected to the first movable bracket 110, the second screw 430 is fixedly connected to the mounting bracket 130, and the telescopic motor 410 is fixedly connected to the second movable bracket 120. The first screw 420 and the second screw 430 rotate simultaneously, providing double the stroke.
[0068] Fifth embodiment
[0069] Based on the first to third embodiments, please refer to Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a modal pin provided in some embodiments of this application.
[0070] In one embodiment, the second movable support 120 is provided with a plurality of first grooves corresponding to the modal pins 140; when the first movable support 110 is assembled to the second movable support 120, the modal pins 140 abut against the first grooves.
[0071] Preferably, the modal pins 140 are arranged adjacent to the first linear bearings 150. Further, two first linear bearings 150 are respectively arranged on the first side plate portions 112 on both sides of the first movable support 110, and four modal pins 140 are arranged on the first main plate portion 111. This embodiment introduces four modal pins to form a composite structure of rolling guidance and elastic damping with the balls of the first linear bearings, limiting the relative micro-movements between the supports and improving the stability of the relative movement between the supports.
[0072] Optionally, the modal pin 140 is made of POM material. Further, the modal pin made of POM material forms an additional constraint between the first moving bracket 110 and the second moving bracket 120, suppressing relative displacement. Since the density of POM is much lower than that of metal, the negative impact of increased mass on high-frequency modes is avoided, thus achieving the goals of fewer parts, simpler assembly, and lower cost. The use of POM material achieves synergistic optimization of stiffness and damping, realizing this optimization at a lower cost; it also increases the stiffness of the steering column assembly. Because the modal pin 140 is made of POM material, its high toughness (elongation at break ≥40%) can absorb impact energy, avoiding fatigue cracks in the metal plate caused by stress concentration.
[0073] Optionally, a 50μm thick PTFE layer is coated on the surface of the first groove. Further, by coating the contact surface of the modal pin 140 with a 50μm thick PTFE layer, vibration energy is dissipated through friction, reducing the resonance amplitude. Because a 50μm thick PTFE layer is used on the surface of the first groove, and the PTFE layer has a friction coefficient of 0.05~0.1, its wear resistance is 10 times higher than that of pure steel, thus creating a self-lubricating interface and avoiding abrasive wear from direct metal-POM contact.
[0074] By incorporating modal pins into the multi-layer support structure, the rigidity of the entire multi-layer support 100 is enhanced, preventing the first movable support 110 and the second movable support 120 from sliding freely, thus strengthening the overall structural rigidity. By screwing modal pins 140 into the first movable support 110, the modal pins 140 abut against the second movable support 120, causing the balls of the first linear bearing 150 to press tightly against the second movable support 120. Adjusting the torque of screwing in the modal pins 140 changes the generated preload, ensuring the balls of the first linear bearing 150 remain firmly against the second movable support. This preload restricts the relative micro-movements between the first movable support 110 and the second movable support 120, thereby improving the overall bending stiffness (experimental data show a 35% increase in bending stiffness).

Further, a third positioning hole is provided in the third groove, and at least two third positioning pins are provided on the third linear bearing. The third positioning pins are inserted into the third positioning hole to mount the third linear bearing in the third groove.
[0079] Optionally, the mounting bracket 130 includes a third side plate portion 132, which is located on both sides of the third main plate portion 131. The third side plate portion 132 is provided with a third slide rail. The second side plate portion 122 is provided with a plurality of fourth grooves, and the fourth grooves are provided with second linear bearings 123, the balls of the second linear bearings 123 abutting against the third slide rails 132. Further, the fourth grooves are provided with second positioning holes, and the second linear bearings are provided with at least two second positioning pins.

[0081] This utility model also provides a vehicle including the above-described steer-by-wire column system.
[0082] This application utilizes the steer-by-wire column system provided in this embodiment, installed on a vehicle. The steer-by-wire column system includes a multi-layer bracket, comprising a first movable bracket and a second movable bracket. The second movable bracket is fitted over the first movable bracket. The first movable bracket is equipped with multiple modal pins and multiple first linear bearings. The modal pins abut against the second movable bracket, leaving a gap between them. This allows the balls of the first linear bearings to be tightly pressed against the second movable bracket. By introducing modal pins within the multi-layer bracket, a composite structure of rolling guidance and elastic damping is achieved with the balls of the first linear bearings. This results in synergistic optimization of stiffness and damping, limiting relative micro-movements between brackets, and achieving synergistic optimization of stiffness and damping at a lower cost.
