FLUID FLOW CONTROL MECHANISM FOR A STEERING WHEEL EMULATOR

A steer-by-wire assembly includes a steering wheel, a steering column coupled to the steering wheel, and a fluid-flow control mechanism coupled to the steering column, wherein the fluid-flow control mechanism is configured to adjust a torque on the steering column. The fluid-flow control mechanism includes a housing defining a cavity, and a flow control valve in fluid communication with the cavityof the housing. The flow control valve is configured to control a flow of a fluid in the cavity of the housing to adjust the torque on the steering wheel. The fluid-flow control mechanism includes ashaft and a piston coupled to the shaft such that translation of the piston causes the shaft to rotate. 线控转向组件包括方向盘、联接到方向盘的转向柱，以及联接到转向柱的流体流量控制机构，其中流体流量控制机构被配置为调整转向柱上的转矩。流体流量控制机构包括限定腔体的壳体，以及与壳体的腔体流体连通的流量控制阀。流量控制阀被配置为控制壳体的腔体中的流体流量以调整方向盘上的转矩。流体流量控制机构包括轴和活塞，该活塞联接到轴使得活塞的平移导致轴旋转。
