Abstract

A steer by wire type steering apparatus according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may comprise a rotating member having a spiral guide hole penetrating through one side and the other side in the axial direction and rotating in conjunction with a steering shaft, a housing in which the rotating member is built, a housing cover coupled to one end of the housing, and a guide pin inserted in the axial direction into the guide hole, one end supported by the housing and the other end supported by the housing cover.

Claims (21)

1. A steer by wire type steering apparatus comprising:

a rotating member having a spiral guide hole penetrating through one side and the other side in the axial direction and rotating in conjunction with a steering shaft;

a housing in which the rotating member is built in;

a housing cover coupled to one end of the housing; and

a guide pin inserted in the axial direction into the guide hole, one end supported by the housing and the other end supported by the housing cover.

2. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the housing is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end open, and the housing cover closes one end of the housing and is coupled thereto.

3. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the rotating member is provided with a shaft hole to which the steering shaft is coupled, and serrations are formed on an outer circumferential surface of the steering shaft and an inner circumferential surface of the shaft hole.

4. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a fastening flange extending in a radial direction is provided on an outer circumferential surface of one end of the housing.

5. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 4 , wherein the fastening flange is provided with a fastening hole and the housing is coupled to a column housing by a fastening member passing through the fastening hole.

6. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a bulkhead having a through hole through which the steering shaft passes is provided at the other end of the housing.

7. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 6 , wherein a housing support groove in which one end of the guide pin is supported is formed on an inner surface of the bulkhead in a radial direction.

8. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 7 , wherein one end of the rotating member is disposed to be spaced apart in an axial direction facing the inner surface of the bulkhead.

9. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the housing is provided with an outer protrusion protruding from the outer surface of the bulkhead to extend the depth of the housing support groove.

10. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 7 , wherein a coupling groove is provided at one end of the housing, and an extended end coupled to the coupling groove is provided at an outer peripheral surface of the housing cover.

11. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the other end of the rotating member is disposed to be spaced apart in an axial direction facing the inner surface of the housing cover.

12. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the housing cover is provided with a cover support portion in a radial direction at a position facing the housing support groove, the other end of the guide pin is supported on the cover support portion.

13. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the cover support portion is formed to pass through the inner surface and the outer surface of the housing cover.

14. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 12 , wherein the cover support portion is formed as a recess recessed in the inner surface of the housing cover.

15. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a slot damper that is elastically deformed when in contact with the guide pin is provided at one end and the other end of the guide hole.

16. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a pin damper that is elastically deformed when in contact with one end and the other end of the guide hole is provided on the outer peripheral surface of the guide pin.

17. The steer by wire type steering apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a coating portion formed of a low-friction material is provided on the inner surface of the guide hole.
