An automobile steering column adjustment mechanism

Abstract

The invention relates to an automotive steering pipe column adjusting mechanism which is used for realizing the height and inclination angle adjustment of an automotive steering pipe column. The automotive steering pipe column adjusting mechanism comprises a steering pipe column, an upper bracket component, a locking unit and a lower bracket component, wherein the upper part of the steering pipe column is assembled with the upper bracket component through the locking unit, and the lower part of the steering pipe column is assembled with the lower bracket component; the upper bracket component is provided with a supporting frame with a rectangular framework structure; the steering pipe column is sleeved with the supporting frame; the locking unit is arranged inside the supporting frame; and both the upper bracket component and the lower bracket component are fixed on a vehicle body skeleton. The automotive steering pipe column adjusting mechanism has the characteristics of simple structure and compact arrangement, and not only is the height and inclination angle adjustment requirement of the automotive steering pipe column met, but also the arrangement of a driving area is facilitated, so that the driving comfort of a vehicle is improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automobile steering column, in particular to an automobile steering column height and tilt angle adjustment mechanism, which belongs to the technical field of vehicle steering control devices. Background technique [0002] The steering column is an important part of the steering control device of an automobile. Since the steering wheel is installed on the upper end of the steering column, the height and inclination angle of the steering column directly affect the comfort of the driver. In order to make automotive products more in line with the humanized design concept, adjustable steering columns are commonly used in automotive steering systems. The adjustment mechanism of the steering column is generally locked by an external cam structure. For example, the application number is 201210421128.6 A "Handle Adjustment and Locking Mechanism for Aluminum Steering Column" disclosed by a Chinese patent includes an adjustment bracke...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

Although the handle adjustment and locking mechanism of the steering column has the characteristics of easy operation and sliding adjustment, and also improves the safety performance of the steering mechanism of the vehicle, due to the large lateral dimension, it is difficult to arrange it in the limited space of the driving operation area. and the relative position of the handle and the top of the steering column changes when the height of the existing steering column is adjusted, so that the handle is exposed from the column guard when the steering column is adjusted to the lowest position, which not only affects the vehicle interior The visual effect of the interior layout makes it difficult for the driver to accurately identify the state of the operating handle
