seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system review 1: whats the function of steering system? to convert the steering-wheel rotary motion into a turn motion of the steered wheels of the vehicle. to guide the car where the driver wants it to go. seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system 转向器 steering box /gear 转向摇臂 pitman /drop arm

cars is the same. the steering gear of steering box is the heart of the steering system. this usually is next to the engine. a shaft extends from the back of the steering gear. this shaft is connected to the steering column or steering shaft. the steering wheel is at the top of the steering column. another shaft comes from the bottom of the steering gear. this shaft connects to the arms, rods, and links. this parts assembly, called the steering linkage, connects the steering gear to the parts at the wheels. the wheels and tires mount to the steering knuckles. as shown in fig. 5-1, the knuckles are pivoted at the top and bottom. thus, the wheels and tires can turn from side to side. 多数汽车的转向系基本上是一样的。转向系的核心是转向器，一般位 于发动机附近。一根轴从转向器后部伸出，连接着转向柱。方向盘在 转向柱的顶端。另一根轴从转向器低端伸出，连接着转向臂、转向拉 杆和转向杆系，这些部件总称为转向传动机构，连接转向器和车轮上 的部件。车轮和轮胎安装在转向节上。如图5-1所示，转向节的上下端 可自由转动，这样车轮可从一侧转到另一侧。 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system while the steering system may look complicated, it works quite simply. when a driver drives a car straight down the road, the steering gear is centered. the gear holds the linkage centered so that the wheels and tires point straight ahead. when the driver turns the steering wheel, the steering shaft rotates and the steering gear moves toward that side. the shaft coming out the bottom of the steering gear turns, as well. when the shaft turns, it pulls the linkage to one side and makes the steering knuckles turn slightly about their pivot points. thus, the steering knuckle, spindle, wheels, and tires turn to one side, causing the car to turn. 转向系看起来复杂，工作原理却很简单。汽车直行时，转向器处于中 间位置，转向传动机构也处于中间位置，车轮直行。驾驶员转动方向 盘，转向轴旋转，转向器向同侧转动，同时转向器底部的输出轴也会 旋转。输出轴转动时，会向一侧拉动拉杆，使得转向节绕其支点旋转 。这样，转向节、转向节轴端、车轮和轮胎都会向一侧旋转，汽车实 现转向。 review 2: how the of steering system works? review 3: how does the steering system work? seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system review 3: how does the steering system work? seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system review 4: whats the meaning of steering geometry? cotcotbl seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system to minimize tire wear the front wheels should be steered from the straight ahead to a position where they form an angle of 90 to a line drawn from the instantaneous center to the wheel center. it means that the inner wheel turns through a larger angle than the outer wheel. 为减少轮胎的磨损，前轮应该从前进方向转到和瞬 时转动中心到车轮中心的连线成90角的位置，这表 明内侧车轮比外侧车轮转过的角度要大。 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system it is obtained by making the track rod a different length to the distance between the king pins. the track rod length is set so that its connection to the track arm falls on an imaginary line taken from the king pin to a point on the vehicle center line just in front of the rear axle. 转向横拉杆的长度同主销间的距离不相等，就可保证 各前轮以期望的角度旋转。转向横拉杆长度的设置要 保证转向横拉杆与梯形臂的连接点位于主销到后桥前 端汽车中心线上的点所形成的假想连线上。

roller 蜗杆蜗轮式 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system recirculation ball seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system most heavy commercial vehicles use the recirculating ball type of steering gear. this steering gear is durable, with good steering response and good road feel for the driver. 多数重型商用车采用循环球式转向器，这类转向器 性能稳定、转向灵敏而且路感好。 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system in the recirculating ball steering gear, the wormshaft is the input shaft. the wormshaft connects to the steering column in such a way that a mechanic can remove the steering gear or steering column independently of one another. the sector shaft (also called the pitman shaft) is like the output shaft of the steering gear. the main parts of the steering gear are the balls, ball nut, and the gear teeth on the ball nut. 在循环球式转向器中，转向螺杆是输入轴。这样转向螺杆连 接着转向柱，修理工就可独立拆卸转向器或转向柱。齿扇轴 （也叫摇臂轴）相当于转向器的输出轴转向器的主要部件 是钢球，转向螺母和转向螺母上的齿 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system as the wormshaft turns, the balls move the ball nut up and down along the wormshaft . this turns the sector shaft ,since the sector teeth mesh with the ball nut teeth. the sector shaft is connected through steering linkage to the front wheels. seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system as the wormshaft turns, the balls move the ball nut up and down along the wormshaft. this turns the sector shaft, since the sector teeth mesh with the ball nut teeth. the sector shaft is connected through steering linkage to the front wheels. 当转向螺杆转动时，刚球使球螺母沿转向螺杆上下 运动由于扇齿与球螺母齿啮合，齿扇轴转动齿 扇轴通过转向传动机构与前轮连接 seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system rack and pinion seaspecial english for automobile chapter 5 steering and suspension system the rack-and-pinion system has two main partsthe pinion and the rack. the pinion is on the end of the steering column. the steering wheel turns the pinion. the rack is a long, flat bar with teeth on one side. the rack teeth mesh with the teeth on the pinion. 齿轮齿条转向器有两个主要部件齿轮和齿条齿轮 安装在转向柱的末端方向盘带动齿轮转动齿条是
