Abstract:
A power steering device includes a first gear provided on the first shaft, the first gear having a centerline axis, and a second gear operatively connected to the first gear. The second gear includes a rotational axis that is maintained substantially coplanar with the centerline axis. The power steering device further includes a compliant member operatively connected with the second gear. The compliant member allows rotational compliance of the second gear while avoiding axial and radial compliance.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a gear for eliminating backlash. The gear includes a rotating shaft having a hollow portion. A first gear is connected to an end of the rotating shaft to be rotated in sync with the rotating shaft, and has on a central portion thereof a connecting protrusion which protrudes forwards. A hole is formed so as to communicate with the hollow portion of the rotating shaft, and a pair of first mounting holes is formed in the first gear along an arc thereof. A second gear is rotatably connected to the connecting protrusion of the first gear and has the same teeth as teeth of the first gear. A cylinder is provided in each of the first mounting holes and connected at both ends thereof to the first gear and the second gear, thus rotating the second gear in one direction. A locking cap is provided on an end of the connecting protrusion of the first gear to prevent the second gear from being eliminated from the first gear.
Abstract:
A gearbox assembly for all electric power steering apparatus comprises an input shaft which carries a worm gear and is supported relative to the housing at one end by a first bearing assembly and at the other by a second bearing assembly, an output shaft which carries a wheel gear which is fixed relative to a housing and which meshes with a worm gear on the input shaft, and a spring assembly which acts between the housing and the first bearing assembly, and the spring assembly applying a biasing force onto the second bearing in a first direction away from the neutral position so as to ensure that the worm and wheel are fully engaged. The spring assembly has a spring rate which has a step change about the neutral position such that the rate of change in the force exerted by the spring assembly on the second bearing assembly as the spring moves in the first direction from its neutral position is lower than the rate of change in the force as the spring moves in the second direction away from the neutral position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a transmission device comprising a first gear wheel and a second gear wheel that is rotatably coupled thereto, wherein a damping element acting in the circumferential direction is provided axially between the gear wheels. According to the invention it is provided that the damping element can be tensioned by the gear wheels during the operation of the transmission device.
Abstract:
A device to prevent wobbling of cog wheels (3) arranged on a main shaft (6) in a transmission train with two countershafts (1, 2), which has at the minimum, a disk (7) for one of the cog wheels that is connected with the respective cog wheel (3) and/or is supported on the face side of a gearing (8) of the countershafts (1, 2) or on intermediate shafts (12) for the reverse gears, whereby the respective cog wheel (3) is pushed by the spring action against the disk (7).
Abstract:
A drive system for rotating an assembly, such as an external vehicle mirror housing, about an axis is provided with a drive housing containing a worm drive assembly coupled to an axis gear mounted about the axis. The worm drive assembly is rotated by an electric motor. The axis gear is stationary with respect to the axis, such that rotation of the worm drive assembly will cause it to travel about the axis gear. Such movement of the worm drive assembly will cause the drive housing and the associated external vehicle mirror housing to rotate about the axis. Thrust transmitted to the worm drive assembly is transmitted to a central portion of the drive housing by a shaft retainer associated with the worm drive assembly. Play between the axis gear and the worm drive assembly is prevented by eliminating separation between adjacent components of the worm drive assembly.
Abstract:
A controller for motor activation providing accurate and repeatable position changes by pressing and releasing a push button switch. Repeatable position changes are made in an advance direction by triggering a digital counter for a predetermined number of cycles of a reference clock signal. Backlash in retard motion of the motor is reduced by similarly asserting a retard motor input for an amount of time determined by another digital counter with a following advance correction made automatically after the retard signal is applied, by applying a predetermined retard-advance movement amount, as again counted by a digital counter. The advance binary amount, the retard binary amount and the retard-advance binary amount of set through binary switch inputs to respective counters to count the respective time periods (TG3, TG1, and TG2).
