Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A steering system for a motor vehicle comprising a steering linkage, a steering drive, a gearbox transmitting a driving movement of the steering drive to the steering linkage, and a multi-piece housing that at least partially surrounds the steering linkage, the steering drive and/or the gearbox, having a drainage groove formed in a first contact surface of a first housing part of the multi-piece housing, the first contact surface being seated against a mating second contact surface of a second housing part of the multi-piece housing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
1 . A steering system for a motor vehicle, comprising a steering linkage, a steering drive, a gearbox transmitting a driving movement of the steering drive to the steering linkage, and a multi-piece housing that at least partially surrounds the steering linkage, and at least one of the steering drive and the gearbox, and wherein a drainage groove formed in a first contact surface of a first housing part f the multi piece housing, the first contact surface being seated against a mating second contact surface housing part of the multi piece housing. 2 . The steering system according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage groove is configured to be in fluid-conducting connection with a surrounding environment of the housing. 3 . The steering system according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage groove is annular. 4 . The steering system according to claim 3 , wherein the drainage groove surrounds an opening of the first housing part in an annular manner. 5 . A steering system according to claim 1 , wherein the drainage groove is disposed between the outside of the multi piece housing and a sealing element disposed between the first contact surface and the mating second contact surface. 6 . A steering system according to claim 1 , wherein the multi piece housing comprises the first housing part and the second housing part, the first housing part being a drive housing part which surrounds the steering drive, and the second housing part being a gearbox housing part which is connected to the drive housing part and surrounds the gearbox, wherein the drainage groove is disposed in said first contact surface establishing the connection between the drive housing part and the gearbox housing part. 7 . A method for producing a steering system according to claim 1 , wherein the first housing part including the drainage groove, is formed by way of primary shaping. 8 . A method for producing a steering system according to claim 7 , wherein the drainage groove is introduced into the first housing part by way of machining. 9 . A motor vehicle comprising a steering system according to claim 2 wherein the drainage groove comprises an annular first groove portion and a fluid-conducting connecting that connects the annular first groove portion to a surrounding environment of the multi-piece housing and is configured to have a downward orientation portion proceeding from the annular first groove portion in the direction of the surrounding environment while said motor vehicle has a horizontal orientation.
