摘要:
A crash system for the steering column in a motor vehicle, in which two tube ends are connected to one another by an insert which clamps the two tube ends to one another up to a predetermined axial load. This insert is a tolerance ring, whose cross-sectional profile is compressible. An adjustable clamping device surrounds the outer tube end and acts radially.
摘要:
A deformation device, especially for the steering column of a motor vehicle. The deformation device comprises a deformation tube (2), which can be deformed in a defined manner, as well as a deforming cone (1) associated with the deformation tube (2). The deformation device has at the deforming cone (1) at least one elevation (13, 28) or recess, whose edges (8) engage edges (9) of at least one impression (23, 25) or recess (10), whose shape corresponds to the elevation of the cone or the recess of the cone at the cone-side end of the deformation tube (2), in a positive (material blocking) manner, as a result of which essentially any desired high torque can be transmitted between the deformation tube (2) and the deforming cone (1) without any change in the good behavior in a collision. The design of deformation devices, especially for steering lines of motor vehicles, can be substantially simplified and despite the improvement in product quality that is made possible, considerable cost savings are achieved in the manufacture of steering line components for motor vehicles.
摘要:
An adjustable steering column for motor vehicles, in which a steering axle (2), which is composed of parts that are telescopingly displaceable in relation to one another and is connected at its top end (3) to the steering wheel, is rotatably mounted in a housing (1), and this housing is supported in a holder (4) that is a rigid part of the body both pivotably around a transverse axis (7) and displaceably in the longitudinal direction of the steering column in relation to the body. The actually supported position is continuously lockable by two hydraulically acting piston-and-cylinder units (13, 14), which are rigidly articulated to the body, on the one hand, and are connected to the housing (1) in an articulated manner, on the other hand. One of the two piston-and-cylinder units (13) is connected to the housing (1) in an articulated manner via an angle lever (10) that is mounted in the holder (4) pivotably around a transverse axis (7), and both piston-and-cylinder units (13, 14) are aligned approximately in parallel to the longitudinal axis (8) of the steering column.

A ball-and-socket joint for motor vehicles includes a joint ball (1) provided on a pivot pin (2) mounted movably in a sliding shell (4) made of plastic. A zone of grooves (8) are provided for receiving lubricant on an inner surface of the sliding shell. The sliding shell is inserted into a housing (5) whose inner wall closely surrounds the outer wall of the sliding shell (4). In the zone of the grooves receiving the lubricant, flat recesses (9), which permit radial deformation of the sliding shell (4) in the direction toward the housing, are provided between the housing (5) and the sliding shell (4).
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a safety system for steering shafts, in which shaft parts non-rotatably engage each other and are secured against relative displacement in relation to one another by injected shear materials, which are designed for maximum axial forces in the steering shaft and engage recesses on the outer circumference of the inner shaft part and on the inner circumference of the outer shaft part. Such a safety system has an at least double telescoping shaft system, in which at least two shaft parts are connected to one another by an intermediate shaft part, and the inner shaft parts engage a radial expansion of the corresponding outer shaft part, and a cross section of the shear material designed for shearing is arranged between the shaft parts in the area of the expansion.
摘要:
A telescopic steering column for motor vehicles which contains a guide in the intermediate steering shaft to compensate the nonuniformity of the rotary movement. The guide rotates the two shaft parts of the intermediate steering shaft, which are axially displaceable in one another, so that the fork position of the joints changes with the set position of the steering column.

A self-positioning motor vehicle steering column assembly unit is described, which can be quickly assembled, has a steering column, a steering column connection frame, a connection bracket fixed on the vehicle side, and at least one fastening device for fixing the steering column frame to the connection bracket, wherein the fastening device has at least two fastening elements that can be screwed to one another, between which a deformable spacer sleeve is arranged, wherein at least one opening, which comprises two partial areas of different size, is provided in the connection bracket.
摘要:
The present invention pertains to a steering column for a motor vehicle equipped with an inflatable air bag in the steering wheel (6), in which the parts (3, 4) of a steering shaft, which are connected to one another by a universal joint (5), are rotatably mounted in a housing consisting of a movable upper housing part (1) and a lower housing part (2) rigidly attached to the body, and the two parts of the housing are connected by a hinge (7) to a hinge axis (9) that extends approximately horizontally in the plane of the intersection of the axes of the universal joint, and can be interlocked with one another by the frictional engagement of a clamping device (13). In this steering column, the hinge (7) of the two housing parts (1, 2) is arranged at a spaced location from and above the central longitudinal axis (8) of the steering column, and the two housing parts (1, 2) can be interlocked with one another only in a position in which the axes of the steering shaft parts (3, 4) connected to one another by the universal joint (5) form an angle that is open toward the hinge (7), and the frictional engagement can be overcome by the recoil forces of the ignition of the air bag during the inflation of the air bag.
摘要:
A steering column for motor vehicles with axially adjustable steering shaft and positive locking between an axially adjustable, non-rotatably mounted steering column jacket and a support bearing that forms a rigid part of the vehicle body is described, wherein the locking mechanism consists of teeth provided on the circumference of the steering column jacket and teeth engaging in same, which latter teeth are provided on a locking element movably anchored in the support bearing, as well as of wedge bodies which can be moved into a locked position that brings about locking. The locking element is able to perform a limited pivoting motion around an axis arranged at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the steering column and can be displaced in the direction of the plane of engagement of the teeth at least by one tooth pitch, wherein next to a wedge body which tensions during its functioning the teeth on the steering column jacket and on the locking element at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the steering column, further wedge bodies are provided, which during their functioning wedge the locking element in the direction of the plane of engagement of the teeth against the support bearing.
摘要:
At least one mounting part (1), which has at least one passage opening (1a) for guiding a connector (3). The connector (3) cooperates with a clamping part as a spindle nut (4) and a clamping mechanism (100′). The clamping mechanism (100′) moves in a clamping direction in relation to the spindle nut (4) to clamp a connecting piece (4) to the mounting part or mounting part (1). A positioning mechanism 200 includes a yoke (11, 12) cooperating with the clamping mechanism (100) and the spindle nut (4). The positioning mechanism (200) has a passage opening (11a) in the yoke (11, 12) that is at least congruent with the passage opening (1a) of the first mounting part (1), as well as a spindle (10), which is connected with the clamping mechanism (3, 4, 7) via the spindle nut (4). The clamping mechanism (100′) applies force to the spindle pin (10) relative to the spindle nut (4) and yoke surfaces to block said spindle pin from rotating to lock a position of said spindle nut along said spindle pin.
