Housing for a steering gear
A housing for a steering gear and a plastic housing, wherein the plastic housing comprises a base body made of a plastic material, and elastomer layer and at least one closure element.
1. A housing for a steering gear, comprising a steering housing and a plastic housing, wherein the plastic housing comprises:
a base body made of a plastic material;
at least one closure element separate from the steering housing; and
an elastomer layer between the base body and said one closure element, separating said one closure element from the base body, wherein the elastomer layer has a bonded connection or a positive fit connection to said one closure element, and wherein the at least one closure element is adapted for securing the base body to maintain the base body in contact with the steering housing, the at least one closure element fixing the plastic housing in the steering housing of the housing for a steering gear.
2. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer layer is produced from a thermoplastic elastomer.
3. The housing according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer layer is produced from a silicone material.
4. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the elastomer layer is continuously applied across the entire circumference of the base body.
5. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least one closure element is designed as a snap-fit element.
6. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the closure elements is designed as a latching element.
7. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the closure elements is designed as a rotary latching element.
8. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the plastic housing additionally comprises an O-ring.
9. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein the closure element has a securing device.
10. A housing according to claim 1 , wherein a device for removal is provided.
11. A plastic housing for a housing, according to claim 1 , for a steering gear, wherein the plastic housing comprises the base body, to which the elastomer layer is applied, to which the at least one closure element is positively applied and/or bonded.
12. The plastic housing according to claim 11 , wherein the base body and the closure element are made of a fiber-reinforced plastic material.
13. The plastic housing according to claim 11 , wherein the elastomer layer is produced from a thermoplastic elastomer.
14. The plastic housing according to claim 1 , wherein the steering housing is configured to contain the steering gear.
15. The plastic housing according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one closure element is separate from the base body.
16. A housing for a steering gear, comprising a steering housing and a plastic housing, wherein the plastic housing comprises:
a base body made of a plastic material;
a closure element separate from the base body; and
an elastomer layer between the base body and the closure element, separating the closure element from the base body, wherein the elastomer layer has a bonded connection or a positive fit connection to the closure element; and
wherein the closure element is configured to engage a groove of the steering housing so as to secure the base body in place to close an opening of the steering housing, the closure element being stressed into engagement with the groove by axial compression of the elastomer layer.
17. A housing for a steering gear, comprising a steering housing and a plastic housing, wherein the plastic housing comprises:
a base body made of a plastic material;
a closure element separate from the base body; and
an elastomer layer between the base body and the closure element, separating the closure element from the base body, wherein the elastomer layer has a bonded connection or a positive fit connection to the closure element; and
wherein the closure element is configured to matingly engage into a snap fit connection with a groove of the steering housing so as to secure the base body in place to close an opening of the steering housing.
