Steering wheel cover plate mounting post and steering wheel cover plate with same

Abstract

The invention discloses a steering wheel cover plate mounting post which comprises a part of post body, wherein the part of post body extends along a cutting surface to form a reinforcing rib which is fixedly connected with a steering wheel cover plate; and an end of the part of post body cambered surface protrudes along the radial direction of the post body to form a boss side which is buckled with a mounting hole in a steering wheel body. According to the steering wheel cover plate mounting post, the hardness of the mounting post is ensured while the stability of clamping is ensured and the material consumption of the mounting post is reduced; and the steering wheel cover plate mounting post can be simultaneously used for mounting the steering wheel cover plate made of relatively brittle material or soft material, and thus the stability and the use safety are ensured.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile steering control, in particular to an automobile steering wheel. Background technique [0002] The connection structure between the steering wheel cover plate and the steering wheel body of the prior art adopts the mounting column on the steering wheel cover plate to be clamped to the mounting hole on the support plate on the steering wheel body, and the cover plate is pressed by pressing the cover plate. The pole plate on the support plate is compressed to drive the compression spring on the horn mechanism to connect the horn contacts to form a conductive circuit and realize the horn function. The structure of the existing steering wheel cover mounting column is cylindrical, and a U-shaped opening is opened in the axial direction at one end of the column, and cards are formed on the columns on both sides of the U-shaped opening, and a protrusion protrudes from the head end of the card. After the mount...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This structure has a structural weakness. For the steering wheel cover of the existing high-hardness material, the brittleness of the steering wheel cover material increases after aging, and the U-shaped opening is easy to cause the installation column to break during use. For the steering wheel cover required by the new regulations The material should be softened to ensure that it is not easy to break after the head is hit. Once the material is softened, it will not be easy to recover after the cards at both ends of the U-shaped opening are pressed into the mounting hole during installation, which will cause the cover to fall off easily during use.

Regardless of whether it is a relatively brittle material with high hardness or a relatively soft material required by the new regulations, the mounting column of this structure will cause the cover plate to fall off easily after bumpy road conditions or collisions, so that the steering wheel body skeleton is exposed to the driver, which is harmful to the driver. Risk of injury to the face and head and reduced product safety
