Description

Flexible transmission type swinging steering device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a steering apparatus for a vehicle, and more particularly, to a flexible transmission type swing steering apparatus.
Background
The prior small electric vehicle or motorcycle mainly has the following problems: firstly, although the small-sized two-wheeled vehicle is flexible and compact and has good dynamic balance characteristic, the small-sized two-wheeled vehicle cannot be totally closed, and the problems of wind, rain and cold prevention cannot be fundamentally solved; and the two-wheel system has poor anti-skid (braking) capability, particularly anti-sideslip (braking stability), and low safety factor. Secondly, although the small three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle can adopt a fully-closed carriage, the braking performance is enhanced, if the speed is high, the vehicle is easy to turn over, if the vehicle cannot turn over quickly, the vehicle width needs to be increased, and the advantages of compactness and flexibility are lost, so that the conventional small three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle cannot be too high in speed, and the size in the width direction is more than 1 meter, so that the applicable crowd and occasions of the small three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle are greatly limited.
In order to solve the above problems of the existing small electric vehicle or motorcycle, a patent of a man-machine combined balance car (patent number 201922148722.2) proposes a solution combining the respective advantages of a two-wheel vehicle and a three-wheel/four-wheel vehicle, namely, a chassis of the three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle is adopted, but a vehicle body can freely swing left and right on the chassis, the vehicle body is balanced by the balance control of a driver when the vehicle runs, namely, the three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle (herein, the vehicle is called as a dynamic balance car) driven by the driving balance principle of the two-wheel vehicle is used, so that the stability of the traditional small three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle when the vehicle runs at high speed is solved, and the braking stability of the three-wheel or four-wheel vehicle and the protection effect of a closed carriage on people are obtained. However, in this patent application, the front wheels of the inverted tricycle and the quadricycle are directly connected to the steering handle as the steering wheel, as in the case of the regular tricycle, which makes the inverted tricycle and the quadricycle substantially regular tricycles, equivalent to having an ultra wide front wheel, which is inclined with the swing of the vehicle body. Therefore, how to realize the reverse three-wheel and four-wheel dynamic balance vehicle with more practicability needs further improvement on the steering device.
Chinese patent No. ZL201480067213.4 discloses a "vehicle with tilting frame", the tilting frame 2 of which can be tilted relative to the main frame 1 and has a tilting axis 35 (the reference number in patent 201480067213.4 is used here), but whose track rod actuating element 39 can be moved relative to the tilting frame 2 and is actuated by tilting of the tilting frame 2 about the tilting axis 35 and, independently thereof, by rotation of the steering axis 59, so that the at least one steerable contact element 3a is subjected to a steering movement by means of the at least one track rod 7, and the track rod actuating element 39 can be moved relative to the main frame 1 by tilting of the tilting frame and, independently of the tilting, by rotation of the steering tube 6 for actuation of the at least one track rod 7. It can be seen that the vehicle disclosed in this patent application has a body frame tilt that is related to the steering of the vehicle, i.e. there are two factors in the actuation of the track rod 7: tilting of the tilting frame 2 and rotation through the axis 59; thus, the tilting of the vehicle affects the steering of the vehicle, whereas the steering movement of the vehicle also affects the tilting of the vehicle body. It is known from the dynamic balancing principle of two-wheeled vehicles that the tilting and steering of the vehicle body are separate and irrelevant, otherwise the vehicle body cannot achieve dynamic balancing. For example, when a two-wheeled vehicle passes through a curve at high speed, the inclination angle of the vehicle body is large, but the steering of the vehicle is fine; when the two-wheeled vehicle is running at low speed, a slight body lean requires a large degree of steering to bring the body back to the equilibrium point again, so it can be seen that there is no clear correlation between body lean and steering, otherwise it is difficult to achieve the dynamic equilibrium of the vehicle in the true sense, that is, although the vehicle proposed by this patent has a tiltable frame, tilting about the tilting axis, it cannot achieve the principle of dynamic equilibrium of the two-wheeled vehicle in the true sense, and its balancing function is defective.
Chinese patent application No. 201610157690.0 discloses "a forced control frame and wheel automatic balance mechanism for motor tricycle", its balance mechanism divides the car into two parts front and back, and the front part contains the front wheel, and the rear portion contains the rear wheel, and whole front portion is connected with the rear portion through "frame connecting bearing group", and the front portion can be relatively the rear portion around the axis swing of bearing like this, and this patent application has two characteristics: firstly, the balance side inclination is forcibly controlled; the other is that during the tilting or swinging process of the vehicle body, the front wheel as the steering wheel swings along with the vehicle body in a tilting way, and as all the wheels are always grounded, the wheels tilt along with the swinging as a result of the swinging. Neither of these features can create the destabilizing swing or tilt required for dynamic balance similar to a two-wheel vehicle, and therefore it cannot create a dynamic balance state similar to a two-wheel vehicle.
In summary, for a dynamic balance vehicle, under the condition that wheels do not swing and incline along with a vehicle body, how to enable a vehicle body which can swing freely and is unstable to be on a chassis which can steer and is stable without any other external force to realize dynamic balance becomes a main difficulty of realizing dynamic balance of the dynamic balance vehicle, particularly a four-wheel or reverse three-wheel dynamic balance vehicle, and how to realize that steering of the vehicle and swinging of the vehicle body are not influenced mutually is a main contradiction for overcoming the problems. Therefore, it is necessary to design a steering device for a dynamic balance vehicle, which can achieve the steering of the vehicle and the swinging of the vehicle body without influencing each other.
