Abstract

The present invention relates to a mounting assembly for a vehicle for coupling, to a chassis, a housing in which a steering device is mounted, the mounting assembly including: a first bush that is configured to be coupled to a mounting hole that is formed in the housing, and is configured to have a coupling groove formed therein; a second bush that is configured to be provided between the housing and the chassis, and is configured to have a through hole formed to lead to the coupling groove; and a bolt that is configured to fix the housing to the chassis, wherein the second bush is inserted into the bottom of the first bush to then be coupled, and the bolt is engaged with the coupling groove by passing through an assembly hole that is formed in the chassis and by passing the through hole.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mounting assembly for a vehicle for coupling, to a chassis, a housing in which a steering device is mounted, the mounting assembly comprising:
a first bush configured to be coupled to a mounting hole that is formed in the housing, and configured to have a coupling groove formed therein;
a second bush configured to be provided between the housing and the chassis, and configured to have a through hole formed to lead to the coupling groove; and
a bolt configured to fix the housing to the chassis,
wherein the second bush is inserted into the bottom of the first bush to then be coupled, and the bolt is engaged with the coupling groove by passing through an assembly hole that is formed in the chassis and by passing the through hole,
wherein a first buffering member in a cylindrical shape is provided between the mounting hole and the first bush, and the first buffering member resiliently supports the housing and the first bush while being interposed therebetween, and

wherein a first press-fitting portion is formed to be recessed inwards on the outer surface of the first bush, and a second press-fitting portion is formed to be extended inwards from the through hole into which the first press-fitting portion is inserted.

2. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the second bush has a positioning portion that is formed to protrude downwards along the through hole, and the positioning portion is coupled to the assembly hole to then fix the position of the second bush.

3. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 2 , wherein the outer surface of the positioning portion is formed in a polygonal shape or is formed in a planar shape on one side thereof, and the assembly hole is formed to have a shape corresponding to the positioning portion to then prevent the rotation between the assembly hole and the positioning portion.

4. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the outer surface of the first press-fitting portion is formed in a polygonal shape or is formed in a planar shape on one side thereof in order to prevent the rotation between the first press-fitting portion and the second press-fitting portion, and the inner surface of the second press-fitting portion is formed to have a shape corresponding to the first press-fitting portion.

5. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 3 , wherein the outer surface of the first press-fitting portion and the inner surface of the second press-fitting portion are formed to be knurl-finished or to be coated with a friction material, respectively, in order to prevent the rotation between the first press-fitting portion and the second press-fitting portion.

6. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein a second buffering member is provided between the second bush and the housing.

7. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 6 , wherein the second bush has a guide portion that is formed to protrude from the upper surface thereof along the through hole, and the second buffering member is coupled to the outer surface of the guide portion.

8. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 1 , wherein the first bush has a tool groove that is formed on the top surface thereof into which a tool is inserted.

9. A mounting assembly for a vehicle for coupling, to a chassis, a housing in which a steering device is mounted, the mounting assembly comprising:
a first bush configured to be coupled to a mounting hole that is formed in the housing, and configured to have a coupling groove formed therein;
a second bush configured to be provided between the housing and the chassis, and configured to have a through hole formed to lead to the coupling groove; and
a bolt configured to fix the housing to the chassis, wherein
the second bush is inserted into the bottom of the first bush to then be coupled, and the bolt is engaged with the coupling groove by passing through an assembly hole that is formed in the chassis and by passing the through hole,
wherein a first buffering member in a cylindrical shape is provided between the mounting hole and the first bush, and the first buffering member resiliently supports the housing and the first bush while being interposed therebetween, and

wherein the first bush has a stopper portion that is formed to protrude from the outer surface of the upper portion thereof in the radial direction, and the housing has a receiving groove that is formed to receive the stopper portion, and wherein the first bush supports the housing.

10. The mounting assembly for a vehicle according to claim 9 , wherein the first buffering member is provided with a flange that is formed to protrude from the outer surface of the upper end thereof in the radial direction to buffer the stopper portion and the receiving groove while being interposed therebetween.
