[0017] The utility model will be further explained in conjunction with example, but not as the limitation to the utility model.
[0018] Please combine Figures 1 to 3 The utility model relates to a vehicle including steering column and combination switch 1, and the steering column cover is provided with steering column shroud, and the steering column shroud is fixedly installed with combination switch 1, and the steering column is shielded through steering column shroud. The positioning structure of the specific steering column shroud and combination switch includes steering column shroud body 2 and combination switch 1, and the front end surface 101 (XY surface) of combination switch 1 is the surface facing the driver, and the Z direction through -hole 102 is set up to pass through steering column and connect steering wheel. The mounting column 103 of Z direction is arranged on the left and right sides of through -hole 102 on the front end surface 101 of combination switch 1, and the end surface of mounting column 103 is provided with a connecting hole 104.
[0019] In order to improve the strength of the mounting column 103, reinforcing ribs 105 are arranged at the positions equally divided between the axial direction of the mounting column 103 and the front end surface 101 of the combination switch 1. In the embodiment using the reinforcing ribs 105, the height of the reinforcing ribs 105 should be less than the height of the mounting column 103, and the reason will be described later.
[0020] The steering column shroud body 2 comprises a front shielding part 201 and a lower shielding part 202. A mounting plate 203 parallel to the XY plane is formed on the back side of the front shielding part 201 during injection molding. A connecting through hole 204 is formed on the mounting plate 203. A limiting part is arranged on the back side (the reverse side of the Z direction) of the mounting plate 203. The limiting part comprises at least a pair of limiting side walls arranged at intervals in the X direction, and the connecting through hole is located between the two limiting side walls. In the embodiment, the limiting part is a U-shaped notch structure 205, and the opening direction of the U-shaped notch structure 205 is the Y direction.
[0021] During installation, the steering column shroud body 2 is moved from the lower side of the combination switch 1 to the Y direction, and the mounting column 103 is clamped into the limiting part from the opening direction of the U-shaped notch structure 205. Then, the steering column shroud body 2 is fixed with the combination switch 1 by screwing the connecting through hole 204 and the connecting hole 104. In this way, effective positioning can be formed in the X direction, thereby reducing the required gap between the ball head 106 of the operating lever on both sides of the combination switch 1 and the steering column shroud body 2, and improving the aesthetic appearance.
[0022] In the embodiment where the mounting column 103 is provided with the reinforcing ribs 105, the height difference between the reinforcing ribs 105 and the mounting column 103 should be greater than the protruding height of the U-shaped notch structure 205 on the mounting plate 203. In this way, during installation, the reinforcing ribs 105 are prevented from interfering with the U-shaped notch structure 205.
[0023] As shown in the drawings, Figure 4 In the embodiment, the mounting column 103 is arranged on both sides of the through hole 102 on the front end surface 101 of the combination switch 1, and the steering column shroud body 2 is provided with two mounting plates 203. In order to facilitate positioning and installation and improve the operation efficiency, the limiting side walls of the U-shaped notch structure 205 on the back side of one of the mounting plates 203 cooperate with the side surface of the mounting column 103 with a gap of 0.1 mm, and the limiting side walls of the U-shaped notch structure 205 on the back side of the other mounting plate 203 cooperate with the side surface of the mounting column 103 with a gap of 1 mm. It is easy to understand that, in order to strengthen the positioning effect, the limiting side walls and the bottom wall of the U-shaped notch structure 205 on both sides can cooperate with the side surface of the mounting column 103 with a gap of 0.1 mm. The limiting of the bottom wall of the U-shaped notch structure 205 increases the positioning in the Y direction, and further improves the effect of reducing the cooperation gap.
