1. A steering control system (1) for a vehicle or a simulator, said vehicle or simulator being provided with directioning means (21′, 22′, 21″, 22″),
said system (1) comprising a direction control device (2), fixed to a support (3) which is coupled to a steering column (4), detection means (6) for detecting the position of said direction control device (2), which is installed on said support (3); an adjustment module (7, 7′, 7″) having a frame, mechanically coupled to said direction control device (2), said direction control device (2) being provided with an actuator/adjustment means (8′, 8″, 8a, 8a′, 8b, 8b′), which is capable of adjusting resistance to the movement of said direction control device (2), one or more sensors (27) positioned within the directioning means (21′, 22′, 21″, 22″), for detecting the position of said directioning means (21′, 22′, 21″, 22″), and at least a central control unit (23), which is connected to said one or more sensors (27) capable of calibrating said resistance to the movement of said direction control device (2) by said actuator/adjustment means (8′, 8″, 8a, 8a′, 8b, 8b′), on the basis of a position of said direction control device (2) which is detected by said detection means (6), and is capable of directing said vehicle or simulator by said directioning means (21′, 22′, 21″, 22″) and said sensors (27), wherein said adjustment module (7, 7′, 7″) comprises a first and a second chamber (13a, 13b), positioned in said adjustment module (7,7′, 7″) where each of said first and second chambers having a volume with an oily fluid, a main worm screw (9) and a lead nut (10) engaged with said main worm screw (9) positioned within said steering column (4), and a hollow piston (11), within which said main worm screw (9) and said lead nut (10) are placed, said hollow piston (11) having a shape that defines said first and second chambers (13a, 13b) which are in communication with each other through a channel (14), so that movement of said main worm screw (9) with respect to said lead nut (10), and vice versa, causes longitudinal translation of said hollow piston (11) that varies the volume in said first and second chambers (13a, 13b), by displacing said oily fluid that is passed through said channel (14) from one of said first or second chambers (13a, 13b) to the other one of said first or second chambers (13b, 13a), said actuator/adjustment means (8′, 8″, 8a, 8a′, 8b, 8b′) being suitable for adjusting oily fluid flow passing through said channel (14). |
