Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering mechanism technology, and in particular to a steering mechanism for large-angle drift cars. Background Technology

[0002] The steering mechanism is a structure inside a drift car used to control the vehicle's steering. When using the steering mechanism, the steering of the drift car can be achieved through the cooperation between various parts, thus enabling the vehicle to perform relatively difficult drifting maneuvers.

[0003] The inventors discovered in their daily work that the steering mechanism still has at least the following problems: When using the steering mechanism, the drift car can be steered by the cooperation between the various parts. However, in actual use, because the various parts of the rotating mechanism are connected by fixed or rotating means that the rotation angle between the various parts is too small, which in turn affects the steering of the drift car to a certain extent. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a large-angle drift car steering mechanism.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a large-angle drift car steering mechanism, including a frame, wheels evenly mounted on the sides of the frame, a steering device on the top of the frame, a connecting device on one side of the frame, the steering device including a servo, the servo mounted on the top of the frame, a servo rocker arm mounted on one end of the servo, a ball joint fixedly connected to the end of the servo rocker arm away from the servo, a flange bearing mounted on the top of the frame, a steering wheel rotatably mounted on the surface of the flange bearing, a steering tie rod between the steering wheel and the servo rocker arm, a ball joint fixedly connected to one side of the steering wheel, steering cups evenly mounted on both sides of the frame, and a steering linkage between the steering cups and the steering wheel.

[0006] The effect achieved by the above components is as follows: When using the steering device, the servo first provides power output to the steering device, controls the servo rocker arm on the servo to move back and forth, the steering tie rod connects the ball joint on the rocker arm and the ball joint on the steering wheel, the steering wheel is fixed to the frame through the flange bearing, and the steering wheel is connected to the steering cup through the steering linkage, thereby realizing the steering of the front wheels. This structure adjusts the front wheel steering angle by controlling three parameters: the length of the rocker arm, the length and angle of the ball joint rod on the steering wheel, and the center distance between the steering wheel end hole and the flange bearing. The maximum front wheel steering action can reach 90°.

[0007] Preferably, a connecting sleeve is fitted on the top of the flange bearing, and the connecting sleeve is fixed to the top of the frame by bolts.

[0008] The effect achieved by the above components is to confine the connecting sleeve to the top of the flange bearing and the steering wheel, thereby preventing other parts or debris from falling onto the connection between the flange bearing and the steering wheel and affecting the movement of the steering wheel.

[0009] Preferably, the top of the connecting sleeve is provided with a connecting plate, and the connecting plate is fixed to the top of the connecting sleeve by bolts.

[0010] The effect achieved by the above components is that, because the top of the connecting sleeve is arc-shaped and the top of the connecting plate is flat, placing the connecting plate on top of the connecting sleeve makes it easier to install other parts.

[0011] Preferably, the connecting device includes a rubber wheel, which is disposed on the surface of the wheel.

[0012] The effect achieved by the above components is that when using the connecting device, the rubber wheel can be fitted onto the surface of the wheel, and different tires can be replaced by operating in the reverse direction, so that the wheel can be adapted to different environments.

[0013] Preferably, the surface of the rubber wheel is uniformly provided with grooves.

[0014] The effect achieved by the above components is that the grooves are evenly distributed on the surface of the rubber wheel, which increases the friction between the rubber wheel and the ground.

[0015] Preferably, a connecting block is fixedly connected to one end of the frame, and the connecting block is made of rubber.

[0016] The effect achieved by the above components is that the connecting block can deform to a certain extent, so that it can play a certain role in buffering when the frame hits other objects head-on.

[0017] In this invention, by setting up a steering device, when using the steering device, the servo first takes charge of the power output of the steering device, controls the servo rocker arm on the servo to make reciprocating motion, the steering tie rod connects the ball joint on the rocker arm and the ball joint of the steering wheel, the steering wheel is fixed to the frame by the flange bearing, and the steering wheel is connected to the steering cup by the steering linkage, thereby realizing the front wheel steering. This structure adjusts the front wheel steering angle by controlling three parameters: the length of the rocker arm, the length and angle of the ball joint rod on the steering wheel, and the center distance between the steering wheel end hole and the flange bearing. The maximum front wheel steering action can be 90°. Attached Figure Description

[0023] Example 1, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the steering mechanism of the large-angle drift car has wheels 2 evenly installed on the side of the frame 1, a steering device 3 on the top of the frame 1, and a connecting device 4 on one side of the frame 1. The steering mechanism is a structure inside the drift car used to control the steering of the vehicle. When using the steering mechanism, the steering of the drift car can be achieved through the cooperation between various parts, so that the vehicle can complete relatively difficult drifting operations.

[0024] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The steering device 3 includes a servo 301, which is mounted on the top of the frame 1. A servo rocker arm 302 is mounted on one end of the servo 301, and a ball joint is fixedly connected to the end of the servo rocker arm 302 away from the servo 301. A flange bearing 304 is mounted on the top of the frame 1, and a steering wheel 305 is rotatably mounted on the surface of the flange bearing 304. A steering tie rod 303 is provided between the steering wheel 305 and the servo rocker arm 302. One side of the steering wheel 305 is fixedly connected to another ball joint. Steering cups 307 are evenly mounted on both sides of the frame 1. A steering linkage 306 is located between the steering cups 307 and the steering wheel 305. When using the steering device 3, the servo 301 first provides power output to the steering device, controlling the servo rocker arm 302 on the servo 301 to perform reciprocating motion. The steering tie rod 303 connects the ball joint on the rocker arm to the ball joint on the steering wheel 305. The steering wheel 305 is fixed to the frame 1 by a flange bearing 304. The steering wheel 305 is connected to the steering linkage 306. The steering cup 307 is connected to achieve front wheel steering. This structure adjusts the front wheel steering angle by controlling three parameters: the length of the rocker arm, the length and angle of the ball joint on the steering wheel 305, and the center distance between the end hole of the steering wheel 305 and the flange bearing 304. The maximum front wheel steering action can be 90°. A connecting sleeve 308 is fitted on the top of the flange bearing 304. The connecting sleeve 308 is fixed to the top of the frame 1 by bolts, which restricts the connecting sleeve 308 to the top of the flange bearing 304 and the steering wheel 305. This can prevent other parts or debris from falling to the connection between the flange bearing 304 and the steering wheel 305 and affecting the movement of the steering wheel 305. A connecting plate 309 is provided on the top of the connecting sleeve 308. The connecting plate 309 is fixed to the top of the connecting sleeve 308 by bolts. Because the top of the connecting sleeve 308 is arc-shaped and the top of the connecting plate 309 is flat, placing the connecting plate 309 on the top of the connecting sleeve 308 makes it easier to install other parts.

[0025] Reference Figure 4 The connecting device 4 includes a rubber wheel 402, which is set on the surface of the wheel 2. When using the connecting device 4, the rubber wheel 402 can be fitted onto the surface of the wheel 2. By reversing the operation, different tires can be replaced, thus allowing the wheel 2 to adapt to different environments. Grooves 403 are evenly distributed on the surface of the rubber wheel 402, which can increase the friction between the rubber wheel 402 and the ground. A connecting block 401 is fixedly connected to one end of the frame 1. The connecting block 401 is made of rubber and can be deformed to a certain extent, so that it can play a certain buffering role when the frame 1 collides head-on with other objects.

[0026] Working principle: When using the steering mechanism, the steering of the drift car is achieved through the cooperation of various parts, enabling the vehicle to perform relatively difficult drifting operations. When using the steering device 3, the servo 301 first provides power output to the steering device, controlling the servo rocker arm 302 on the servo 301 to perform reciprocating motion. The steering tie rod 303 connects the ball joint on the rocker arm to the ball joint on the steering wheel 305. The steering wheel 305 is fixed to the frame 1 through the flange bearing 304. The steering wheel 305 is connected to the steering cup 307 through the steering linkage 306, thereby achieving front wheel steering. This structure adjusts the front wheel steering angle by controlling three parameters: the length of the rocker arm, the length and angle of the ball joint on the steering wheel 305, and the center distance between the end hole of the steering wheel 305 and the flange bearing 304. The maximum front wheel steering action can reach 90°. The connecting sleeve 308 is restricted to the flange bearing. The top of the flange bearing 304 and the steering wheel 305 is designed to prevent other parts or debris from falling onto the connection between the flange bearing 304 and the steering wheel 305, thus affecting the movement of the steering wheel 305. The top of the connecting sleeve 308 is arc-shaped, while the top of the connecting plate 309 is flat. Setting the connecting plate 309 on top of the connecting sleeve 308 facilitates the installation of other parts. When using the connecting device 4, the rubber wheel 402 can be fitted onto the surface of the wheel 2. By operating in the reverse direction, different tires can be replaced, allowing the wheel 2 to adapt to different environments. The grooves 403 are evenly distributed on the surface of the rubber wheel 402, which increases the friction between the rubber wheel 402 and the ground. The connecting block 401 is made of rubber and can deform to a certain extent, thus providing a certain buffering effect when the frame 1 collides head-on with other objects.
