うにした車両の後輪操舵機構を提案した。(Prior Art) In the Japanese Patent Application No. 61-79567 (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 62-238170), the applicant of the present invention has a main shaft in the front-rear direction for transmitting the rotation extracted from the front wheel steering mechanism and a rear end thereof. The diametrical arm provided, the output member which is arranged rearwardly of the arm and is movable in the left-right direction, the vertical guide provided on the output member, and the intermediate member provided between the arm and the guide. The slide member is slidable in the vertical direction and is slidable in the diametrical direction of the main shaft with respect to the arm, and the drive device for moving the same in the vertical direction. The rotation of the main shaft is output by the vertical movement of the slide member. We proposed a rear-wheel steering mechanism for a vehicle that converts the left-right direction of the vehicle to steer the rear wheels.
これによれば、出力部材自体を上下に移動させずに、ス
ライド部材を上下動させるだけなので、後輪の舵角調整
に要する駆動力は小さなもので足りる。According to this, since the slide member is only moved up and down without moving the output member itself up and down, a small driving force is required to adjust the steering angle of the rear wheels.

け止めるべくギヤ列を大型化し、モータも大容量化する
必要があり、これにより重量化を招くという問題があ
る。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In such a rear wheel steering mechanism, when a reaction force for moving the slide member up and down is transmitted to the drive device, the load increases to increase the size of the gear train and the motor size to increase. It is necessary to increase the capacity, which causes a problem of weight increase.

加わらなくなる。(Function) The spindle (61) of the slide member (51) is attached to the left and right feed screws (7
Since it is supported between the nut members (77) and (77) screwed to 6) and (76), the spindle (61) of the slide member (51) is supported.
The reaction force to move the nut up and down is the nut member (77),
Taken at (77). That is, the rotation of the feed screw (76) causes the nut member (77) to move up and down, but even if a vertical load is applied to the nut member (77), it is difficult for the feed screw (76) to rotate. Since it has reversibility, the vertical load acting on the support shaft (61) can be received by the nut members (77), (77) on both sides thereof, and the gears (73), (74), (75) and Almost no load is applied to the motor (72).
従ってモータ(72)及びギヤ(73),(74),(75)へ

向動する。Since the arm (23) rotates integrally with the main shaft (21), the first slide piece (52) fitted to the arm (23) cranks with respect to the main shaft (21), and this crank rotation causes the center piece (54) to rotate. ) Is converted to horizontal movement. The second slide piece (5
3) also moves in the left-right direction, and the output member (41) integrated with the guide (42) fitted to the second slide piece (53) also moves in the left-right direction.
斯くして前輪(7),(7)に対する後輪(97),(9
7)の舵角比は車速に応じた最適値に調整される。Thus, the front wheels (7), (7) and the rear wheels (97), (9
The steering angle ratio in 7) is adjusted to the optimum value according to the vehicle speed.
ところで、第2図に仮想線で示すように他方の被動ギヤ
(74)に噛合う駆動ギヤ(73′)を備えたモータ(7
2′)を追加しても良い。By the way, a motor (7) provided with a drive gear (73 ') meshing with the other driven gear (74) as shown in phantom in FIG.
2 ') may be added.
以上において、ナット部材(77)は送りネジ(76)の回
転により減速されて円滑に上下動するのに対して、この
ナット部材(77)に上下方向の荷重が作用しても、送り
ネジ(76)は回転し難いという非可逆性を有する。In the above description, the nut member (77) is decelerated by the rotation of the feed screw (76) and smoothly moves up and down. On the other hand, even when a vertical load is applied to the nut member (77), 76) has an irreversible property that it is difficult to rotate.
このため、センターピース(54)を上下に動かそうとす

材(77),(77)により支持されているので、反力はナ
ット部材(77),(77)で受け止められ、ギヤ(73),
(74),(75)やモータ(72)には殆ど伝わらない。Therefore, even if a reaction force that moves the center piece (54) up and down acts, the support shaft (61) is supported by the nut members (77) and (77) at both ends. Is received by the nut members (77), (77), and the gears (73),
Little is transmitted to (74), (75) and motor (72).
このようにモータ(72)及びギヤ(73),(74),(7
5)への負荷を極く小さくできるため、特に小容量のモ
ータ(72)を採用して軽量化を達成できる。In this way, the motor (72) and gears (73), (74), (7
Since the load on 5) can be made extremely small, a small capacity motor (72) can be used to achieve weight reduction.
その上、ギヤ列の他方にもモータ(72′)を追加してお

る。In addition, if a motor (72 ') is added to the other side of the gear train, the system function can be maintained even if the output of one motor becomes 0 as long as the other motor is normal. .
これに対して一般に行われているように、モータ出力に
ウォームギヤを使って減速と非可逆性を利用するシステ

機能を保つことができない。On the other hand, as is generally done, in a system that uses deceleration and non-reciprocity by using a worm gear for the motor output, when the motor output becomes 0, the output part becomes in a locked state, and therefore a plurality of motors are locked. Even if there is, the function of the system cannot be maintained.
(発明の効果) 以上のように本発明によれば、モータやギヤ列に作用す

で、軽量化を達成することができ、またシステムの機能
維持の面でも有利となる。(Effects of the Invention) As described above, according to the present invention, the load acting on the motor and the gear train can be reduced to reduce the capacity of the motor in particular, so that the weight reduction can be achieved and the function of the system can be achieved. It is also advantageous in terms of maintenance.
