Chassis actuator device for a vehicle
View Patent ↗Roll stabilizers as an example for chassis actuators are used for compensating or suppressing rolling movements of a vehicle about its longitudinal axis. Such rolling movements are caused, in particular, when driving around curves due to centrifugal forces. A chassis actuator device is provided, in particular, a roll stabilizer, for a vehicle with a flange connection between an actuator and a stabilization component. A holder-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a holder section of the flange connection and a flange-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a flange. The positive-locking contours together form a positive-locking connection in the circumferential direction about a torsion axis A, and the flange-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a flange-side lateral surface and/or the holder-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a holder-side lateral surface.
1. A chassis actuator device for a vehicle, comprising
an actuator for generating a torque about a torsion axis, the actuator has a housing arrangement,
at least one stabilization component having a flange, and the housing arrangement has a holder section, the flange and the holder section together form a flange connection that connects the stabilization component to the actuator,
a holder-side positive-locking contour arranged on the holder section and a flange-side positive-locking contour arranged on the flange, the holder-side positive-locking contour and the flange-side positive-locking contour together form a positive-locking connection in a circumferential direction about the torsion axis, and
wherein at least one of the flange-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a flange-side lateral surface or the holder-side positive-locking contour is arranged on a holder-side lateral surface, and the flange-side lateral surface and the holder-side lateral surface are each formed as a frusto-conical lateral surface, and comprising a securing element that presses the flange in an axial direction relative to the torsion axis against the holder-side positive-locking contour, wherein the securing element is formed as a lock nut with an external thread, and the holder section has an internal thread onto which the lock nut is screwed, the frusto-conical lateral surface of the flange-side lateral surface is defined by a first axial end and a second axial end, the second axial end has a larger outer diameter than the first axial end, and the lock nut is arranged against the second axial end of the flange-side lateral surface.
2. The chassis actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the flange-side lateral surface or the holder-side lateral surface is formed as a hollow cylindrical lateral surface.
3. The chassis actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the flange-side positive-locking contour or the holder-side positive-locking contour is formed as teeth.
4. The chassis actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein a maximum outer diameter of the positive-locking contours is greater than 70% of an outer diameter of at least one of the holder section or the housing arrangement.
5. The chassis actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the holder-side positive-locking contour is formed in the holder section or the flange-side holder contour is formed in the flange.
6. The chassis actuator device according to claim 1 , wherein a material of at least one of the flange or the holder section is formed as a ferromagnetic material and/or as a magneto-restrictive material and forms a primary sensor, and that the chassis actuator device has a secondary sensor that detects changes of a magnetic field of the primary sensor and outputs sensor signals, and the chassis actuator device determines a current torque using the sensor signals.
