A steering device of a vehicle includes an upper tube receiving a steering shaft, a lower tube receiving the upper tube, a movable bracket to which one end of the lower tube is hinged, a fixed bracket to which the movable bracket being slidably coupled in an axial direction, a first driver for sliding the upper tube with respect to the lower tube, a second driver axially fixed to the fixed bracket to tilt the lower tube with respect to the movable bracket, and a third driver for sliding the movable bracket with respect to the fixed bracket. The steering device makes it possible to quickly and stably perform an operation of storing and withdrawing the steering wheel for securing a space in a driver's seat, and enhance operation stability by minimizing interference with peripheral components during the operation of storing and withdrawing the steering wheel.

Steering device of vehicle

According to the present embodiments, it is possible to quickly and stably store and withdraw the steering wheel to secure a space in the driver's seat, limit the contracting stroke of the steering column during collapsing motion to stably perform collapsing motion, and set various collapsing strokes.

The present embodiments provide a vehicle steering column that may more quickly and stably perform telescoping for adjusting the axial length of the steering column and stowing for drawing the steering wheel into or out of the dashboard, secure a convenient space for the driver, and provide safety and convenience to the driver.

Vehicle steering column

A unique motor type motor driven column apparatus may include a motor attached to a telescoping tube that slidably receives a column tube therein, wherein the telescoping tube may be pivotally coupled with a vehicle body by a tilt bracket, an actuating rod rotating by the motor, a tilt mechanism including a tilt clutch receiving the actuating rod therethrough and selectively engaged therebetween by a motor controller such that a rotation force of the actuating rod may be converted into a linear movement of the tilt mechanism to make a tilt motion of the column tube, and a telescoping mechanism including a telescoping clutch receiving the actuating rod therethrough and selectively engaged therebetween by the motor controller such that a rotation force of the actuating rod may be converted into a linear movement of the telescoping mechanism so as to make a telescoping motion of the column tube.

Unique motor type motor driven column apparatus

A lower type motor-driven column apparatus includes a tilt unit having a column tube and a tilt link forming a plurality of hinge fixed points in order to tilt up/down a steering wheel by vertical motion generated with rotation due to straight motion of a tilt rod through a tilt motor, a telescopic unit implementing telescopic movement pushing or pulling the column tube by means of straight motion of a tele-rod through a tele-motor, and a shock-absorbing member absorbing and attenuating a shock stroke of the column tube, ahead of the tilt unit and the telescopic unit, in which the operation mechanism of the tilt unit and the operation mechanism of the telescopic unit are individually implemented, such that the MDPS can be easily used for middle-sized and large-sized vehicles which are difficult to use the upper type and it is possible to save fuel of the middle-sized and large-sized vehicles.
