Definitions
- the invention relates to a steering arrangement according to the preamble of claim 1.
- a steering arrangement with electrically assisted steering aid has become known from EP 0 411 600.
- the force coupling of the servo motor takes place on the side of the steering wheel shaft or the steering spindle via a bevel gear.
- a clutch is arranged between the electric motor on the side and the bevel gear.
- sensors detect the position of the steering wheel shaft, which is processed by control electronics and which operates the servomotor in accordance with the desired servo function.
- Electrically operated steering aids have the advantage over the known hydraulically operated steering aids that they require less drive energy and thus fuel savings of 5-10% are possible.
- the desired power transmission characteristic can be realized better with electronic controls than with hydraulic devices.
- the known electrically operated steering aids have the disadvantage that they require a relatively large amount of installation space.
- the object of the present invention is to eliminate the disadvantages of the aforementioned prior art.
- the task consists in realizing an electric steering aid for a steering arrangement, which has an extremely compact design and which allows a quick response with good dynamics with an attractive steering behavior for the driver to be achieved with economical manufacturability.
- the servo motor is designed as a disk-shaped electric motor and is installed directly coaxially in the shaft of the steering spindle, the steering shaft or the steering gear journal, the necessary reduction gear also being disk-shaped and also coaxially between the motor and the shaft of the steering spindle , the steering shaft or the steering gear journal is installed.
- Disk-shaped is understood to mean that the width or the diameter is greater than the axial length.
- electric motors DC or AC motors with or without brushes, i.e. also electronically commutated motors, can be used.
- Reluctance motors are also particularly suitable, especially if they are switched electronically.
- a disc rotor motor is very suitable as an electric motor because of the very quick response due to the small rotor masses.
- This disc rotor motor can be built extremely flat.
- a particularly suitable disk-shaped drive is the piezoelectric traveling wave motor, since it can achieve a high torque even at low speeds.
- a gearbox can even be dispensed with, or the effort for the gearbox can be kept lower.
- So-called epicyclic gears are suitable as flat gears, in which the main axis of the gearing lies within the circumference of an epicyclic gear, which are to be classified in particular in group F16H 1/32 of the international patent classification.
- tension shaft gears which have an elliptical rotor, a flexible, externally toothed transmission element and an internally toothed ring as the transmission element, or harmonious drive gears, as these are very flat and with few parts with the high required reductions of up to a few hundred times can be built. If the reduction ratios are very large, it is easily possible to sandwich several gear discs in series without significantly increasing the size in the axial direction.
- a particularly suitable embodiment of the harmony drive is the so-called pulsator gear, as it is in the magazine "Construction Electronics Mechanical Engineering” KEM November 1996 (ISSN 0934-0270, Verlag Konradin-Robert Kohlhammer GmbH, D-70771 Leinfelden-Echterdingen) on pages 94 to 95 is described in more detail as a so-called brain gear.
- This transmission is particularly suitable for the present application because, in addition to the very flat design, it is low-noise, enables high power densities, is maintenance-free and inexpensive and has no play.
- the plastic design allows a high degree of backlash and low-cost manufacture of the gearbox, which makes it particularly predestined for the present application in addition to all other known types of gearbox.
- the inventive motor-gear combination and the coaxial installation lead to a high degree of efficiency, which enables additional fuel savings compared to the prior art.
- the most favorable installation position of the inventive motor-gear arrangement is in the area of the steering shaft, which means that the full length of the coaxial steering shaft is retained in the event of a crash.
- a controllable coupling is required between the drive and the shaft to be driven, which, for example, allows the servo drive to be decoupled from the shaft when driving fast and in the event of a breakdown.
- the coupling device is combined with the transmission or integrated into the transmission.
- a magnetic clutch in particular an electromagnetically operated clutch, such as a hysteresis clutch, which allows the degree of clutch engagement to be easily controlled, even at different speeds.
- Fig. 1 shows schematically, in the form of a schematic diagram, the different areas of a steering column train
- Fig. 2 shows schematically and in section a steering spindle assembly with servo drive according to the prior art
- FIG. 3 shows schematically and in a sectional view an arrangement according to the invention of a coaxially constructed servo drive
- the steering wheel 1 is divided into three areas, which are denoted by points A to D.
- the steering wheel 1 is fastened at the end point A.
- the other end of the steering shaft 3 is at a universal joint Point B connected to the steering shaft 5.
- the steering shaft 5 is in turn connected via a universal joint at point C to the steering gear journal 6 with point D, ie the steering gear.
- the steering shaft 5 and the steering spindle 3 are preferably designed to be telescopically displaceable in order to be able to absorb energy in the event of a crash.
- the steering spindle 3 is mounted in a steering column housing, which in turn is connected to the vehicle housing via the steering column fastening 4.
- phase II In the event of a crash, the front part of the vehicle is compressed in phase I and the displaceable steering shaft 5 yields in relation to the fixed point B. At the same time, the vehicle driver moves in the direction of the arrow 2 towards the steering wheel 1 and impacts there, the steering spindle 3 likewise absorbing energy by being pushed into one another. This is called phase II. In the event of a crash, it is important that sufficient telescopic sliding travel for shafts 3 and 5 can be maintained and that this is not restricted by additional installations.
- FIG. 2 shows in section the upper part of a steering line according to the prior art, namely the steering wheel spindle 3 between points A and B.
- the steering wheel is fastened to one end 7 of the spindle 3 and a universal joint 9 is arranged at the other end of the spindle, which connects the spindle 3 to the steering shaft 5.
- the steering wheel spindle 3 is designed to be coaxial and longitudinally displaceable and is rotatably supported with the bearings 10 in the direction of the spindle longitudinal axis 8.
- the shaft of the steering wheel spindle 3 is coupled to a gear 11, this gear being designed in a known manner as a bevel gear or as a worm gear.
- an electric motor 12 is arranged coupled to the transmission 11.
- the longitudinal spindle 3 with the servo drive 11, 12 is held in a housing 4 and fastened to the vehicle housing.
- the commonly used direct current motors 12, of known design, have an elongated design, which means that the motor is fully extended on one side and thus makes poor use of the limited installation space available.
- FIG. 3 An arrangement according to the invention is shown schematically in cross section in FIG. 3.
- the housing 16 of the preferred disk rotor motor is fixedly mounted with respect to the vehicle housing 23, the gear shaft 18, which is connected and driven by the rotor disk 17, being rotatably mounted coaxially with the spindle 3 with the bearings 15.
- the disc rotor motor has the permanent magnet 19 generating magnetic fields on both sides of the rotor disc 17. This engine design can be built extremely compact and flat.
- the shaft 18 driven by the motor is elliptical in shape in the area of the gearbox core and deforms the elastic pulsator 20 when it rotates, which, due to the toothing 24 in the peripheral area, also moves the outer ring gear 19, which forms the gearbox output and is connected to the shaft 3, in a reduced manner.
- a movement of the transmission outlet 19 is only possible if the stator 21 is fixedly connected to the vehicle housing 23. When this connection 22 is released, the rotor 21 rotates and the transmission outlet 19 remains in place.
- the controllable connection or locking device 22 can thus be used to implement a simple coupling function which is inherent due to the structure of the transmission concept is realized.
- the use of a magnetic clutch, in particular an electromagnetically operable clutch 22, is particularly easy to control and wear-free.
- the magnetic clutch also offers rapid decoupling in the event of engine malfunctions, as well as high dynamics, ie quick response of the steering assistance.
- automatic resetting is facilitated by rapid uncoupling when the driver does not require a moment.
- the restoring force of the front axle is sufficient to straighten the wheels.
- Another very suitable coupling design is the electroviscous fluid coupling. The principle is based on the fact that an electrical voltage controls the viscosity of a liquid, which in turn can be used for power transmission.
- Such a coupling like the magnetic coupling mentioned above, allows rapid controllability. In addition, it is easy to set up and can be controlled with little power.
- gear stator 21 With a relative movement of the gear stator 21 with respect to the vehicle housing 23, the power transmission behavior can even be controlled.
- the gear stator 21 can optionally be braked to a standstill or even set in the opposite direction of rotation.
- Motor-gear assemblies of the present type can be constructed together with the coupling in an extremely compact, coaxial manner on the shaft axis, preferably with dimensions ⁇ 90 mm in the axial direction with a diameter of less than 200 mm.
