Patent number: 11292509Abstract: To provide a steering device capable of highly precisely controlling turning angles of steered wheels without changing a layout of members. Provided is a steering device (10A) including: a center arm (26) having one end portion configured to swing in a right-and-left direction with respect to a vehicle body (BD) in synchronism with rotation of a steering shaft (22); a rod member (40A), which is coupled to the one end of the center arm (26), and is configured to move in the right-and-left direction, to thereby change turning angles of steered wheels (WR and WL); and a rod-member drive device (50) configured to linearly move the rod member (40A) in the right-and-left direction through use of a driving force source. The rod member (40A) is supported such that movement of the rod member (40A) in the right-and-left direction of the vehicle body (BD) is allowed, but movement of the rod member (40A) in a front-and-rear direction and an up-and-down direction of the vehicle body (BD) is restricted.Type: GrantFiled: September 9, 2020Date of Patent: April 5, 2022Assignee: TOYOTA JIDOSHA KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Hirotaka Kamano, Yoshikazu Kameda, Mitsuyuki Ouchi, Nobuyuki Kawabata, Nobuaki Miyazaki
