Vehicle steering apparatus having irrotational core part

Abstract

Disclosed is a vehicle steering apparatus capable of facilitating the user's convenience by providing on a hub positioned at the center of a steering wheel an irrotational core part on which various electric modules are to be mounted so that it is possible to use the electric modules conveniently regardless of a steering angle. The vehicle steering apparatus comprises a housing fixed to a vehiclebody, a steering wheel rotatably mounted relative to the housing, a steering gear set installed to transmit rotation of the steering wheel to a steering shaft, and an irrotational core part fixed to the housing and allowing an outer wire harness to be wired thereto.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an automobile steering device with a non-rotating center unit, and more particularly, to a non-rotating center unit on which various electrical modules are installed at the center of the steering wheel so that it can be used independently of the steering angle of the steering wheel. Easy-to-use car steering. Background technique [0002] Generally, a steering device of an automobile is configured to variably adjust a traveling direction of a vehicle body according to a driver's steering direction. Such a steering device includes: a steering wheel for a driver to hold and operate; a steering shaft directly connected to the steering wheel; and a steering mechanism connected to the steering shaft to variably adjust the angle of a steered wheel. [0003] In addition, as disclosed in Korean Laid-Open Patent No. 2000-0015545, an airbag module is installed at the center to improve the driver's safety in an emergency, while, a...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since the structure of the general steering wheel as described above is such that the airbag module and the remote control switch module rotate together when turning, the deployment of the airbag in an emergency The angle may deviate from the optimal range to ensure the safety of the driver, and the remote control switch module is difficult to achieve normal operation when it is rotated, such as when the driver does not directly confirm its position with the naked eye

[0005] Particularly, in the case of driverless vehicles, a display screen is installed at the center of the steering wheel to output visual information such as the state of the vehicle to the outside, in this case When turning, the picture or image information output from the display screen is inverted or deviates from the angle in the left and right directions, so it inevitably brings many difficulties to driver identification
