Abstract
Description
特許文献2は、フローティング構造のブラシ付き電動モータであり、筒状のヨークと、ヨーク内に対向して配設したマグネットと、ヨークの中心軸線上に回転自在に配設したシャフトと、このシャフトに固定したアーマチュアと、シャフトの一端部に固定した整流子と、この整流子の表面に当接したブラシと、このブラシを保持するブラシホルダと、ヨークに取り付けられたハウジングと、ブラシホルダ及びハウジングの間に介在され、ハウジングにブラシホルダを支持させる弾性体とを備え、アーマチュアが回転した際に発生する振動が、整流子、ブラシ、ブラシホルダ、ハウジングからヨークへ伝達される経路を、ブラシホルダ及びハウジングの間に介在した弾性体が絶つようにしている。
すなわち、特許文献1のようにモータ側接続端子を制御ユニット側接続端子に向けて弾性変形させると、ブラシ付き電動モータのブラシホルダをフローティングしている弾性体が凹んで傾いた状態となり、それにより整流子とブラシの接触状態が悪化してしまい、ブラシ付き電動モータの作動音が増大してしまうおそれがある。
また、本発明の一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置は、減速ギヤボックス上に、電動モータ及び制御ユニットが当該電動モータの軸線方向に直列に配置されている。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、ユニット側接続端子及びモータ側接続端子の結合作業を容易に行うことができる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、モータ側接続端子及びユニット側接続端子の接続後の振動による変位、熱による収縮、膨張に追従しやすくなる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、端子台の端子台面に向けて制御ユニットのユニット側接続端子が移動してくると、モータ側接続端子は、端子台面側に弾性変形しながらユニット側接続端子に弾性反力を与えていくので、ユニット側接続端子とモータ側接続端子との密着性が高まる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、固定ネジでユニット側接続端子及びモータ側接続端子を結合しても、電動モータのモータ側接続端子には電動モータの軸線の垂直方向しか外力が加わらないので、フローティング構造のブラシ付き電動モータを採用してもモータ作動ノイズを低減することができる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、制御ユニットの組立作業を効率良く行うことができる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、溶接ツールが電動モータの軸線に沿って延在するように配置しながら作業を行なうことができるので、溶接作業性が良好となる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、溶接作業の際に、隣接する重なり合ったユニット側接続端子及びモータ側接続端子の組の間に、半田が導通するおそれがない。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、制御ユニット及び電動モータの接続作業を容易に行なうことができる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、モータ側接続端子に対するユニット側接続端子の重なり動作を容易に行なうことができる。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、周囲に導電性異物が発生しても、電動モータのモータ側接続端子に電気的ショートを発生させるおそれがない。
この一の実施形態に係る電動パワーステアリング装置によると、端子カバーの装着を容易に行なうことができる。
また、モータ側接続端子及びユニット側接続端子が重なり合って接続されていることから電動モータのフランジから外方に突出する量が小さくなり、電動パワーステアリング装置のコンパクト化を図ることができる。
図1は、本発明に係る第1実施形態の電動パワーステアリング装置を運転席側から見た斜視図であり、図2は、電動パワーステアリング装置の要部を示す縦断面図である。
図1,2の符号1はコラム型の電動パワーステアリング装置であり、ステアリングホイール(図示せず)に連結されたステアリングシャフト2を回転自在に内装するステアリングコラム3に、減速ギヤボックス4が連結され、この減速ギヤボックス4に、軸方向がステアリングコラム3の軸方向と直交する方向にブラシモータで構成される電動モータ5と制御ユニット19が配設されている。
ステアリングコラム3及び減速ギヤボックス4は、アッパ取付けブラケット6及びロア取付けブラケット7によって車体側に取付けられている。
減速ギヤボックス4は、高熱伝導性を有する材料例えばアルミニウム、アルミニウム合金、マグネシウム及びマグネシウム合金の何れか1つを例えばダイキャスト成型することにより形成されている。
カバー26は、パワー基板23、合成樹脂製フレーム24及び制御基板25を覆いながら、制御ユニット装着部20に車両後方側から4箇所の固定ネジ50(図3参照)をねじ込むことで固定されている。
パワー基板23は、電動モータ5を駆動制御する電界効果トランジスタ等のパワースイッチング素子で構成されるHブリッジ回路やこのHブリッジ回路のパワースイッチング素子を駆動するパルス幅変調回路等のディスクリート部品(不図示)が実装される。
端子ホルダ24aには、後述する電動モータ5のモータ側接続端子5k,5mに接続するユニット側接続端子27a,27bが、図3の左側に向けて略平行に突出しており、これらユニット側接続端子27a,27bには、長穴形状のネジ穴27a1,27b1が形成されている。
雌型コネクタ45は、電源コネクタ45aと、車体の各部の制御機器とのデータの授受を行うCANなどのネットワークに接続する信号コネクタ45bとを備えている。パワー基板23及び制御基板25は、接続端子22aを介して接続されている。
電動モータ5は、図3及び図4に示すように、筒状のヨーク5aと、ヨーク5aの内壁に所定間隔をあけて配置した複数のマグネット5bと、ヨーク5aの中心軸線上に回転自在に配設したシャフト5cと、このシャフト5cに固定したアーマチュア5dと、シャフト5cの一端部に固定した整流子5eと、この整流子5eの表面に当接するブラシ5fと、ヨーク5aの開口部に結合したフランジ部材5gと、ネジ5hを介してフランジ部材5gに結合され、ブラシ5fを保持する合成樹脂製のブラシホルダ5iと、制御ユニット19の端子ホルダ24aが近接対向するフランジ部材5gの外周に形成されている端子台5jと、端子台5jに保持され、制御ユニット19のユニット側接続端子27a,27bが接続するモータ側接続端子5k,5mとを備えたブラシ付き電動モータである。モータ側接続端子5k,5mには、真円形状のネジ穴が形成されている。
また、図5に示すように、ブラシホルダ5iに形成したネジ5hが挿通するネジ挿通穴28には、ネジ5hの外周に配置した金属カラー29との間に円筒形状のゴムマウント30が装着されている。このように、ゴムマウント30と、ブラシホルダ5iとフランジ部材5gの間に装着したリング状のゴムシート32が、ブラシ5f側で発生した振動を遮断することでフローティング構造のブラシ付き電動モータ5とされている。
モータ側接続端子5k,5mは、ブラシホルダ5i内に互いに絶縁されて配設され、複数組のブラシ5fに個別に接続された一対の円弧状導体(不図示)の一端に形成された部位である。
図6に示すように、減速ギヤボックス4のモータ取付け部17に電動モータ5のフランジ部材5gが当接し、制御ユニット19のユニット側接続端子27a,27b及び電動モータ5のモータ側接続端子5k,5mが接続すると、制御ユニット19の端子ホルダ24a及び電動モータ5の端子台5jが対向する。
端子カバー35は、端子台5j全体を覆うことが可能な下部か開口した箱形状の部材であり、図8に示すように、開口部の周縁に、端子台5jの係合溝5j5に摺動自在に嵌まり込む係合凸部35aが形成されている。
ここで、本発明の位置決め用の凹部が位置決め凹部24a1に対応し、本発明の位置決め用の凸部が位置決め凸部5j4に対応し、本発明の減速ギヤボックス用固定ネジが固定ネジ50に対応している。
車両の図示しないイグニッションスイッチをオン状態としてパワー基板23及び制御基板25にバッテリから電力を供給すると、マイクロコントロールユニット(MCU)によって操舵補助制御処理が実行されて、トルクセンサ15及び図示しない車速センサの検出値に基づいて操舵補助電流指令値が算出される。この操舵補助電流指令値とモータ電流検出部で検出したモータ電流とに基づいて電流フィードバック処理を実行して、電圧指令値を算出する。この電圧指令値をパワー基板23のゲート駆動回路に供給してHブリッジ回路を制御することにより、電動モータ5にモータ駆動電流が流れて電動モータ5を正転又は逆転方向に必要とする操舵補助力を発生するように駆動する。
本実施形態の電動モータ5は、フローティング構造のブラシ付き電動モータ5であり、制御ユニット19のユニット側接続端子27a,27bと接続するモータ側接続端子5k,5mに外力が作用すると、振動を遮断するために配置したゴムマウント30及びゴムシート32が変形することでブラシホルダ5iが傾き、整流子5eとブラシ5fの接触状態が悪化して、作動ノイズが増大してしまうおそれがある。
これにより、モータ側接続端子5k,5m及びユニット側接続端子27a,27bの接続の際に、ブラシホルダ5iに傾きが発生しないので、整流子5eとブラシ5fの接触状態に起因する電動モータ5の作動ノイズを低減することができる。
また、モータ側接続端子5k,5m及びユニット側接続端子27a,27bは、電動モータ5の軸線に垂直方向から固定ネジ34による接続を行なえばよいので、接続作業を容易に行なうことができる。
また、モータ側接続端子5k,5m及びユニット側接続端子27a,27bが電動モータ5の軸線方向に重なり合って接続されていることから、これら電気的接続部が電動モータ5のフランジ部材5gから外方に突出する量が小さく設定されているので、電動パワーステアリング装置1のコンパクト化を促進することができる。
本実施形態の電動モータ5は、モータ側接続端子5kが、電動モータ5の軸線に垂直方向に面方向を向けて形成した端子台5jの端子台面5j1に対して所定の角度θで傾斜して配置されている。
モータ側接続端子5kは、制御ユニット19に近接する側の矩形部に折曲部5k1を設け、この折曲部5k1から先端部5k2に向けて上り傾斜を付け、曲がり易いように形成されている。
次に、図10に示すものは、本発明に係る第3実施形態の制御ユニット19のユニット側接続端子27aを示すものである。
上記構成の上り傾斜を付けたユニット側接続端子27aの先端部は、モータ側接続端子5kに密着した状態で固定ネジ34で固定されると、モータ側接続端子5kから離間する方向に弾性反力が作用するので、固定ネジ34の緩みを防止することができる。
また、図9で示したモータ側接続端子5k,5mの構造と、図10で示したユニット側接続端子27a,27bの構造を採用しても、図9及び図10の一方の構造を採用しても、固定ネジ34の緩みを防止することができる。
図11に示すように、端子台5jの上面には、モータ側接続端子5k,5mを仕切る位置に半田飛散防止壁51aが上方に突出して形成され、モータ側接続端子5kを間に挟んで半田飛散防止壁51aの逆側位置に半田飛散防止壁51bが突出して形成され、モータ側接続端子5mを間に挟んで半田飛散防止壁51aの逆側位置に半田飛散防止壁51cが突出して形成されている。
そして、本実施形態は、図12に示すように、モータ側接続端子5k及びユニット側接続端子27aが半田溶接により接続されている。
