Steering column for a motor vehicle
The invention relates to a steering column for a motor vehicle, which is adjustable in at least one adjustment, wherein for adjusting in the adjustment direction or in at least one of the adjustment directions provided by a drive motor spindle drive is provided, the erstre-5 in an axial direction having cogging threaded spindle.
In the case of adjustable steering columns for motor vehicles, the steering spindle carrying the steering wheel and thus also the steering wheel can be adjusted relative to a mounting part via which the steering column can be fastened to the body of the motor vehicle, which represents a comfort function of the steering column. Usual adjustment are here a Längenversteliung and / or a height or tilt adjustment. In addition to adjustable steering columns, in which the adjustment is performed manually after opening a clamping mechanism, also electrically adjustable steering columns are known. In these, the adjustment in the adjustment of the 15 length adjustment and / or in the adjustment of the height or inclination adjustment is motorized by means of at least one drive motor. A common training provides in this case that the drive motor is part of a spindle drive. Spindle drives, which are also referred to as screw jacks or spindle drives, have to implement a rotary movement in a translational movement movement to a threaded spindle on whose outer thread a threaded nut is arranged. Either the threaded nut is driven by the drive motor via corresponding gear members and the threaded spindle is axially displaced or the threaded spindle driven by the rotation of the threaded spindle and the spindle nut axially adjusted by the rotation of the threaded spindle. The drive of the 25 threaded nut or threaded spindle is generally carried out by means of a arranged on a motor shaft worm, which is in engagement with a worm gear, which on the outer circumference of the spindle nut (in the case of the drive 06/03/2012 14:26

2 of the spindle nut) or on the outer circumference of a rigidly connected to the threaded spindle gear (in the case of a drive of the threaded spindle) is arranged.
An electrically adjustable steering column with a spindle drive, for example, 5 is known from DE 10 2007 039 361 A1.
A general problem with electrically adjustable steering columns is to reduce noise during adjustment. For this purpose, DE 10 2006 036 183 B4 proposes a belt drive which acoustically separates the electric drive motor 10 from the adjusting mechanism. DE 10 2009 057 388 proposes a piezoelectrically driven active vibration damping. Both technologies are very complicated and expensive.
In the electrically adjustable steering column known from EP 1 486 395 B1, a transmission part with a ball head is provided at 15 of the axially adjustable spindle nut of the spindle drive, which protrudes into a cylindrical sleeve. This is provided with an elastomeric lining, whereby a noise reduction is achieved. This technique is complicated, since the guide with which the spindle nut transmits the movement to the adjustable steering column part must be formed very precisely to avoid rattling and jamming. Also, the noise reduction achieved by the training shown in this document is limited.
From WO 2010/069434 AI embodiments of electrically adjustable steering columns out, for Geriuschreduktion a housing part, in particular 25 of an electric drive motor, and / or a holding part is made of a designed as a composite sheet metal, wherein the composite material, a first metallic layer and a second metallic layer, between which a layer of a viscoelastic material or an elastomer is arranged.
The object of the invention is to provide a simple and inexpensive and effective noise reduction in a steering column of the type mentioned. He- 06/03/2012 14:26

The dependent claims relate to advantageous developments of the invention. In the steering column according to the invention, the steering column is adjustable in at least one adjustment by means of a drive motor driven by a spindle drive, wherein the drive motor is connected to a supporting part of the steering column via a damping unit. The damping unit comprises a primary connecting part, which has a first contact surface, and a secondary connecting part, which has a second contact surface. The first and the second
Contact surface are spaced apart in the axial direction of the threaded spindle. Between the first and second abutment surfaces is an elastomeric or viscoelastic damping material in contact with the first and second abutment surfaces. When acting on the damping device 15 force or force component, which acts in the axial direction of the threaded spindle in the sense of approximation of the first and the second contact surface, the damping material arranged between the first and the second contact surface is subjected to pressure. However, under a compressive loading of the damping material, the stiffness of the damping unit is advantageously higher (i.e. the force opposing an approach of the first and second abutment faces is higher than a thrust load of the damping material, ie, a displacement of the primary relative to the secondary link in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction the threaded spindle acting force or force component. This achieves anisotropic system behavior.
Thus, the vibrations introduced by the spindle drive in the steering column can be kept low, the coupling of the spindle drive to the drive motor bearing part of the steering column can still be made relatively stiff. In other words, an elastic decoupling of the drive motor having the spindle drive is achieved while maintaining the rigidity in the main force direction (= axial direction of the threaded spindle). The preservation of rigidity 06/03/2012 14:27

For length compensation and one of the other rotatable mounting of the actuating lever 11 formed openings may be formed as a slot. 10
The pivoting of the adjusting lever 11 about the pivot axis 13 takes place by means of a pivoting spindle drive 14. This comprises an electric pivot drive motor 15, which are shown in the sectional view of FIG. 5 only strongly schematized or indicated by dashed lines via gear members, is connected to 15 a threaded spindle 16. On the external thread of the threaded spindle 16 a driven by the pivot drive motor 15 spindle nut 17 is arranged. By rotation of the spindle nut 17, the threaded spindle 16 is displaced in its axial direction (in the direction of its longitudinal axis). The threaded spindle 16 is connected to the adjusting lever 11 about the parallel to the pivot axes 12,13 lying 20 pivot axis 18 pivotally connected.

The primary connection part 21 has a rigid U-shaped configuration with first 5 and second legs 21a, 21b which are interconnected by a base leg 21c. The secondary connecting part 22 has a web 22a, which projects into the space lying between the legs 21a, 21b. With the web 22 a mounting web 22 b is rigidly connected, which has holes for the passage of the connecting screws 24. 10
The mutually facing surfaces of the first and second legs 21a, 21b form first and third abutment surfaces 21d, 21e. The spaced apart surfaces of the web 22a form second and fourth abutment surfaces 22c, 22d. Between the first and the second contact surface 21 d, 22 c, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the threaded spindle 16 from each other and thus have a gap between them, a damping material 26 is arranged. Between the third and fourth Anlagefäche 21 e, 22 d, which are spaced apart in the axial direction of the threaded spindle 16 from each other and thus have a gap between them, a damping material 27 is arranged. The damping material 20 26 has a first side surface, with which it bears against the first contact surface 21 d and a second side surface, with which it rests against the second contact surface 22 c. The damping material 27 has a first side surface, with which it rests against the fourth Anlagefiäche 22d and a second side surface with which it rests against the third contact surface 21 e.

Also, a one-piece design, wherein an existing damping material connecting portion extends through the region between the base leg 21c and the free end of the web 22a, is conceivable and possible. Conveniently, since the damping material 26, 27 is substantially incompressible, the pivot damping unit 20 is relatively stiff with respect to forces acting in the axial direction of the threaded spindle 16. With respect to forces that act at right angles to the axial direction of the threaded spindle 16, the stiffness is much lower. 15
Since structure-borne noise on the way highest rigidity flows, a vibratio ns reducing formation of the control lever 11 is advantageous. For this purpose, the adjusting lever 11 consists of a composite material in the form of a multilayer, sandwich-type sheet, in which a layer of a 20 elastomeric or a viscoelastic material is provided between two metallic layers. It can e.g. the materials mentioned in connection with the damping material 26, 27 are used. The two metallic cover layers can be made of steel or a light metal, preferably with wall thicknesses in the range of 0.3 mm to 1 mm. The intermediate insulating layer may have a thickness in the range 25 from 0.03 mm to 0.1 mm.
