There is provided a steering control device for a vehicle of a new
structure utilizing a ball screw mechanism for compacting the structure.
The steering control device for a vehicle includes a first input shaft 1
connected to a handle, a second input shaft 2 connected to a motor 8, an
output shaft 3 connected to a steering wheel, a first transmission 6 for
rotating a nut 5 in accordance with the rotational motion of the first
input shaft 1 so as to transmit the rotational motion of the first input
shaft 1 to the rotational motion of the output shaft 3, and a second
transmission 7 for moving the nut 5 linearly in the axial direction with
respect to the output shaft 3 in accordance with the rotational motion of
the second input shaft 2 so as to transmit the rotational motion of the
second input shaft 2 to the rotational motion of the output shaft 3. The
center line of the second input shaft and the center line of the output
shaft are aligned on substantially the same straight line.
