Adjustment bushing, steering column and vehicle
View Patent ↗The present application relates to an adjustment bushing, a steering column and a vehicle. The adjustment bushing comprises: a frame provided with a linear track that allows an adjusting bolt to slide left and right; and damping structures respectively disposed near both ends of the linear track and including convex hulls extending from upper and lower inner sides of the frame into the linear track, wherein, when the adjusting bolt slides to both ends of the linear track to extreme positions of the linear track, the convex hulls are squeezed between the adjusting bolt and the frame to play a damping role. The adjustment bushing can rebound after the endurance adjustment, has excellent noise reduction and energy absorption effect, and improves the durability and service life of the adjustment bushing.
1. An adjustment bushing, comprising:
a frame having a hollow through which an adjusting bolt penetrates, the adjusting bolt configured to be slidable with respect to the frame between two ends of the hollow of the frame,
wherein:
the frame has inner side surfaces formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame, and
parts of the frame protrude near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame toward the hollow of the frame penetrated by the adjusting bolt and are configured to generate a pressing force against the adjusting bolt in a direction opposite to slide movement of the adjusting bolt penetrating through the hollow of the frame when the adjusting bolt penetrating through the hollow of the frame slides to one of the two ends of the hollow of the frame.
2. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame extend perpendicularly to the slide movement of the adjusting bolt.
3. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame extend obliquely from the inner side surfaces of the frame toward the two ends of the hollow of the frame.
4. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame are symmetrical to each other.
5. The adjustment bushing of claim 4 , wherein,
one or more of the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame comprise one or more holes.
6. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the frame is integrally formed with the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame.
7. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the frame and the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame are formed by an injection molding process.
8. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein,
the frame and the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame are made of POM, PA66 or PET.
9. A steering column, comprising the adjustment bushing according to claim 1 .
10. A vehicle, comprising the adjustment bushing according to claim 1 .
11. The adjustment bushing of claim 2 , wherein,
the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame are symmetrical to each other.
12. The adjustment bushing of claim 3 , wherein,
the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame are symmetrical to each other.
13. The adjustment bushing of claim 1 , wherein the parts of the frame protruding near the two ends of the hollow of the frame from the inner side surfaces of the frame formed between the two ends of the hollow of the frame extend in directions different from the slide movement of the adjusting bolt penetrating through the hollow of the frame.
