The outer side of the brake mechanism 4 and the inner wall of the protective leather cover 5 are provided with anti-slip patterns, so that the brake mechanism 4 and the protective leather cover 5 will not slide.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] In the present invention, when the driver uses the device, he can hold the handle 306 with both hands, and when steering is required, the driving handle 3 in the rotating direction is started to drive the rotating disk 2 to rotate. When the driving handle 3 is started, the power control switch 307 is pressed by hand to start the motor 305. After the motor 305 is started, the active meshing gear 304 will be driven to rotate. Because the active meshing gear 304 and the driven meshing ring 202 are connected by meshing, when the active meshing gear 304 rotates, it will drive the fixed disk 201 to rotate together through the driven meshing ring 202. When the fixed disk 201 rotates, it will drive the control mechanism 1 to rotate together, so that the device controls the car to turn. When in use, the braking mechanism 4 can also be held by hand. When emergency braking is required, a large force is used to squeeze the upper disk 401 and the sleeve 406 together. During the squeezing process, the brake control button 402 is pressed, and the handbrake is started by the brake control button 402 to brake the car. After the braking is completed, the braking mechanism 4 is released, and the braking mechanism 4 will automatically reset.
