Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a steering-assisting device. Specifically, a steering-assisting device according to the present disclosure comprises: a stator having a plurality of coils wound thereon; a rotor which is rotated by the stator; and a connection part for transferring rotation force generated in accordance with rotation of the rotor to a rack bar, wherein the connection part is connected to the rack bar in a manner for minimizing vibration generated according to a winding pattern of the stator when at least one of the coils of the stator malfunctions.

Claims (24)

1 . A steering assist device, comprising:

a stator around which a plurality of coils are wound in a winding pattern;

a rotator that is rotated by the stator; and

a connector that transfers a rotational force generated as the rotator rotates to a rack bar and that is connected to the rack bar in a direction that causes the connector to minimize vibrations of the steering assist device that are generated when at least one of the plurality of coils that are wound around the stator fails.

2 . The steering assist device of claim 1 , wherein the stator comprises a dual winding structure, the dual winding structure comprises first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils that are wound around the stator in the winding pattern.

3 . The steering assist device of claim 1 ,

wherein the steering assist device further comprises a housing that houses the stator and the rotator, and

wherein the connector is connected with the rack bar so that one surface of the housing, facing the rack bar, is spaced apart from the rack bar.

4 . The steering assist device of claim 3 , wherein the housing is coupled by a bolting structure that fixes the one surface of the housing facing the rack bar in place with respect to the rack bar.

5 . The steering assist device of claim 1 ,

wherein the connector comprises a driving belt that transfers a rotational force to the rack bar, and

wherein the driving belt is wrapped around the rack bar to form a belt tension in a direction of maximizing the vibration.

6 . A steering assist device, comprising:

a stator around which a plurality of coils are wound in a winding pattern;

a rotator that is rotated by the stator; and

a connector that transfers a rotational force generated as the rotator rotates to a rack bar and that is connected to the rack bar in a direction that minimizes vibration generated by the stator when at least one of the plurality of coils that are wound around the stator fails,

wherein the stator comprises a dual winding structure, the dual winding structure comprises first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils that are wound around the stator in the winding pattern, and

wherein when the continuous first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils and the continuous second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils are wound around the stator in a symmetrical structure, the connector is connected with the rack bar in a direction of a middle of an angle between a center of the stator and any one of the continuous first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils.

7 . A steering assist device, comprising:

a stator around which a plurality of coils are wound in a winding pattern;

a rotator that is rotated by the stator; and

a connector that transfers a rotational force generated as the rotator rotates to a rack bar and that is connected to the rack bar in a direction that minimizes vibration generated by the stator when at least one of the plurality of coils that are wound around the stator fails,

wherein the stator comprises a dual winding structure, the dual winding structure comprises first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils and second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils that are wound around the stator in the winding pattern, and

wherein when the continuous first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils and the continuous second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils are alternately wound around the stator, and the continuous second U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils are broken, the connector is connected with the rack bar in a direction along which the continuous first U-phase, V-phase, and W-phase coils are wound.
