    摘要: A vehicle steering assist device includes a steering assist ECU. The steering assist ECU calculates a target steering angle for driving the vehicle along the road, and a target steering guide torque that guides the driver's steering so that the actual steering angle becomes the target steering angle. The steering assist ECU controls the torque applying device so that the steering guide torque becomes the target steering guide torque. The steering assist ECU acquires at least one of information on the driving environment of the vehicle and information on the state of the driver, and calculates an index value indicating the necessity of the steering guide torque based on at least one of the pieces of information. The steering assist ECU corrects the target steering guide torque based on the index value so that the higher the need for the steering guide torque, the larger the target steering guide torque.

    摘要: Methods and systems are provided for a steer-by-wire system. In one example, a steer-by-wire system comprises an electric motor coupled to a steering axle via a bevel gear set, where a rotor of the electric motor is perpendicular to the steering axle, and the bevel gear set comprises a first bevel gear and a second bevel gear. The steer-by-wire system includes an overload protection arrangement, where the second bevel gear is normally coupled to a ball screw nut via a plurality of locking pins, the plurality of locking pins disengaging from the second bevel gear and allowing slipping of the ball screw nut in response to an external impact load acting on the ball screw nut exceeding a threshold.

    摘要: A position detecting device is configured to detect a position of a moving member in which a conductive portion and a non-conductive portion having greater electrical resistance than the conductive portion are provided side by side in a predetermined moving direction. The position detection device is provided with an exciting coil and a detection coil that are arranged extending in the moving direction of the moving member. A voltage is induced in the detection coil by a current flowing in the conductive portion due to a magnetic field generated by the exciting coil. A magnitude of the voltage induced in the detection coil varies with a position in the moving direction of the moving member relative to the detection coil. A vehicle steering device is provided with a shaft, a housing, and the position detecting device.

    摘要: A steer by wire system for a vehicle includes a hand wheel, a steering gear that is attached to at least one steered road wheel, and at least one actuator that is connected to the hand wheel or the steering gear for the vehicle to apply to torque to the hand wheel or steering gear. The steer by wire system can include a control circuit comprising a first PID Controller which receives at an input a set point signal and provides as an output a control signal that is used to control the motor, the controller being arranged in a closed loop with the motor and configured to minimise an error value indicative of the difference between the demanded behaviour of the motor as indicated by the set point signal and the actual behaviour of the motor.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are a steering rack and a method of manufacturing the same. The steering rack includes a body part having both ends, each of which is connectable to a respective wheel and extending in a width direction of a vehicle body, and a threaded part provided on one side of the body part and having screw gear teeth configured to be engageable with a ball nut configured to be rotatable by power of a motor by means of a ball. The screw gear teeth may be divided into a first area relatively adjacent to a center of the threaded part and a second area relatively adjacent to both ends of the threaded part, and an over ball diameter of the first area is different from an over ball diameter of the second area.

    摘要: A steering wheel structure for an omnidirectional mobile robot chassis is provided. The steering wheel structure can realize two degrees of freedom: the rudder rotation of the steering wheel rotation and the full free movement realized in the horizontal plane, it has the characteristics of a small size and a lower height. The wheel assembly realizes the movement of the steering wheel when it moves forward; the rudder assembly realizes the movement of the steering wheel when the steering wheel rotates, initializes the steering direction, and calibrates the rotation through the zero position sensor; the suspension assembly realizes the damping and buffering of the longitudinal motion of the steering wheel; the wiring assembly constrains the movement of various wires when the rudder rotates; the support plate is used for the connection and support of the wheel assembly and the wiring assembly with the rudder assembly.

    摘要: A vehicle steering assist device in which the steering assist ECU calculates a target steering angle for driving a vehicle along a traveling path, and is vehicle steering assist device that a calculates a target steering guide torque for facilitating the steering angle to become a target steering angle by reducing a return torque for urging the steering wheel to a neutral position in an area where the steering angle is smaller than the target steering angle, wherein when the steering angular velocity is higher than the target steering angular velocity, the steering support ECU calculates a target steering angular velocity control torque acting in a direction opposite to a direction in which the steering angle changes, and controls the control steering torque generating device so as to generate a control steering torque including a sum of the target steering guide torque and the target steering angular velocity control torque.
