    摘要: A steering apparatus for a vehicle that utilizes steer-by-wire controls and may selectively be operated in an autonomous mode comprises a retractable telescopic steering column adapted to extend by as much as three hundred millimeters (300 mm) from its fully retracted position. The steering column is also in force communication with a feedback motor, which provides feedback to the driver of the vehicle via a steering wheel attached to the steering column to emulate the forces that would be transmitted to the steering wheel if the steering wheel were mechanically linked to the steerable wheels of the vehicle.

    摘要: A force-feedback assembly includes a first shaft with a shaft end. The first shaft is movable between a shaft first position and a shaft second position. The force-feedback assembly also includes a compliant element arranged to exert a return force on the first shaft and bias the first shaft toward the shaft first position. The force-feedback assembly additionally includes a ramp in sliding engagement with the shaft end. The force-feedback assembly further includes an operator input device operatively coupled to the ramp. The operator input device has a device first position and a device second position. Moving the operator input device from the device first position to the device second position slides the ramp relative to the shaft end and moves the first shaft from the shaft first position to the shaft second position.

    摘要: A rotation control assembly for a steering column assembly includes a steering shaft. Also included is a driving tab rotatable with the steering shaft. Further included is a rotating plate surrounding the steering shaft and rotatable relative to the steering shaft, the rotating plate having a driven tab extending from the rotating plate, the driving tab engageable with the driven tab to rotate the rotating plate. Yet further included is an end stop extending from a structure disposed radially outward of the steering shaft and radially positioned to engage the driven tab upon rotation of the driven tab to the end stop, engagement of the driven tab and the end stop limiting rotation of the steering shaft.

    摘要: A steering device includes a motor, a first shaft, a transmitter, a second shaft, and an engagement portion. The first shaft of a hollow cylindrical shape is coupled in a torque transmittable manner to a steering member with which a driver performs steering operation. The transmitter is disposed on an outer circumference of the first shaft and configured to transmit torque of the motor to the first shaft. The second shaft is coupled in a torque transmittable manner to a wheel-turning unit configured to turn wheels. The second shaft is inserted in the first shaft. The engagement portion is interposed between an inner surface of the first shaft and an outer surface of the second shaft and configured to make the first shaft and the second shaft engage with each other.

    摘要: A rotational operation device includes a holder fixed to a rotation shaft, a torsion coil spring, and a case accommodating the holder and the torsion coil spring. The torsion coil spring includes a coil, fitted to the rotation shaft, and two protrusions, located at opposite ends of the coil. When the rotation shaft is rotated, the case restricts movement of the first protrusion, and the holder pushes the second protrusion in a rotation direction of the rotation shaft. The case includes a first groove that receives the first protrusion. The holder includes a second groove that receives the second protrusion. The first and second protrusions are spaced apart by an invariable interval set by a fixed length between the first and second grooves. The fixed length is set to a distance that produces a gap between coil windings when the coil is in a load-free state.

    摘要: In control of a vehicle that is provided with a steering torque supply device that supplies a steering torque to a steering device coupled to a steered wheel and a steering transmission ratio variation device that changes a steering transmission ratio, the control includes: setting a target state quantity for keeping the vehicle in a target lane; controlling the steering transmission ratio variation device so that a state quantity of the vehicle becomes the set target state quantity; controlling the steering torque supply device so that a steering reaction restriction torque that restricts a steering reaction torque generated in the steering device is supplied with the steering device as the steering torque when the vehicle is kept within the target lane; and correcting the steering reaction restriction torque on the basis of a steering input when the steering input from a driver of the vehicle is produced.
