Abstract

A device for preventing a reverse input includes a first housing, a second housing coupled with the first housing to define an internal space along with the first housing, an output shaft including an output disk disposed in the internal space and having one or more concave curved surfaces on an outer circumference surface of the output disk and an output shaft body configured to protrude from the output disk, an input shaft including an input disk having one or more concave grooves on an outer circumference surface thereof and an input shaft body disposed on a same rotation axis as a rotation axis of the output shaft body to protrude from the input disk, and one or more moving pins disposed on the concave grooves, respectively, to come into contact with the concave curved surfaces, respectively.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A device for preventing a reverse input, comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing coupled with the first housing and configured to define an internal space along with the first housing;
an output shaft comprising an output disk disposed in the internal space and having one or more concave curved surfaces on an outer circumference surface of the output disk and an output shaft body configured to protrude from the output disk;
an input shaft comprising an input disk having one or more concave grooves on an outer circumference surface thereof and an input shaft body disposed on a same rotation axis as a rotation axis of the output shaft body and configured to protrude from the input disk;
one or more moving pins disposed on the concave grooves, respectively, and configured to come into contact with the concave curved surfaces, respectively; and
one or more elastic members respectively disposed between the one or more moving pins and the input shaft.

2. The device of claim 1 , wherein
a number of the concave curved surfaces is the same as a number of the concave grooves.

3. The device of claim 2 , wherein a plurality of the concave grooves is disposed to face a plurality of the concave curved surfaces, respectively.

4. The device of claim 3 , wherein
each moving pin is disposed on a respective concave curved surface and respective concave groove that face each other.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein each of the plurality of concave grooves is disposed on the outer circumference surface of the input disk at an identical rotation interval.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein a distance from a deepest point of the one or more concave grooves to an inner circumference surface of the first housing or an inner circumference surface of the second housing is greater than a distance from a deepest point of the one or more concave curved surfaces to the inner circumference surface of the first housing or the inner circumference surface of the second housing.

7. The device of claim 6 , wherein a width of the one or more concave grooves is greater than a width of the one or more concave curved surfaces.

8. The device of claim 7 , wherein each concave curved surface is made of a material having a lower coefficient of friction than a material of the output disk other than the one or more concave curved surfaces.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein each concave groove is made of a material having a lower coefficient of friction than a material of the input disk other than the one or more concave grooves.

10. The device of claim 1 , wherein when rotatory power is input to the input shaft, rotatory power of the one or more concave grooves of the input disk is transferred to the output shaft through the one or more moving pins.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein when the one or more concave grooves are rotated, the one or more concave curved surfaces are rotated by the rotation of the one or more moving pins.

12. The device of claim 1 , wherein when rotatory power is input to the output shaft, rotatory power of the one or more concave curved surfaces of the output disk pressurizes the one or more moving pins toward an inner circumference surface of the first housing or an inner circumference surface of the second housing.

13. The device of claim 1 , wherein
the input shaft comprises an input shaft protrusion in the input disk,
the output shaft comprises an output shaft groove in the output disk, and
the input shaft protrusion is inserted into the output shaft groove.

14. A steering device, comprising:
a member;
a motor connected to the member;
a controller connected to the member and configured to control the motor; and
a device connected to the motor and configured to prevent a reverse input,
wherein the device connected to the motor and configured to prevent the reverse input comprises:
a first housing;
a second housing coupled with the first housing to define an internal space along with the first housing;
an output shaft comprising an output disk disposed in the internal space and having one or more concave curved surfaces on an outer circumference surface of the output disk and an output shaft body configured to protrude from the output disk;
an input shaft comprising an input disk having one or more concave grooves on an outer circumference surface thereof and an input shaft body disposed on a same rotation axis as a rotation axis of the output shaft body and configured to protrude from the input disk; and
one or more moving pins disposed on the concave grooves, respectively, and configured to come into contact with the concave curved surfaces, respectively.

15. A device for preventing a reverse input, comprising:
a first housing;
a second housing coupled with the first housing and configured to define an internal space along with the first housing;
an output shaft comprising an output disk disposed in the internal space and having one or more concave curved surfaces on an outer circumference surface of the output disk and an output shaft body configured to protrude from the output disk;
an input shaft comprising an input disk having one or more concave grooves on an outer circumference surface thereof and an input shaft body disposed on a same rotation axis as a rotation axis of the output shaft body and configured to protrude from the input disk; and
one or more moving pins disposed on the concave grooves, respectively, and configured to come into contact with the concave curved surfaces, respectively,
wherein when rotatory power is input to the output shaft, rotatory power of the one or more concave curved surfaces of the output disk pressurizes the one or more moving pins toward an inner circumference surface of the first housing or an inner circumference surface of the second housing.
