[0050] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the present application easy to understand, the present application is further described below in combination with specific drawings.
[0051] The automobile steering wheel assembly of the present application comprises a steering wheel body 100 and an airbag assembly 200.
[0052] Referring to Figure 1 , the steering wheel body 100 has an airbag module mounting cavity 101, and three positioning holes 110 are circumferentially and spacedly formed on the bottom surface of the airbag module mounting cavity 101 of the steering wheel body 100. Of course, the number of the positioning holes 110 is not limited to that in the present embodiment, and should be determined according to the positioning requirements and design.
[0053] Referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The air bag assembly 200 is installed in the air bag module installation cavity 101 of the steering wheel body 100. The air bag assembly 200 comprises an air bag bracket 210, an air bag clamping plate 220, a gas generator 230, an air bag 240, a cover 250 and a horn conducting assembly.
[0054] The air bag bracket 210 is installed in the air bag module installation cavity 101 of the steering wheel body 100, the air bag clamping plate 220 is fixedly arranged in the air bag bracket 210, the gas generator 230 is installed on the air bag clamping plate 220, the air bag 240 is arranged on the air bag clamping plate 220 in a folded manner and is connected with the gas generator 230, and the cover 250 is arranged on the air bag bracket 210 and covers the air bag 240. In order to ensure the assembly stability between the cover 250 and the air bag bracket 210 and prevent the cover 250 from flying out when explosion occurs, seven hooks 211 are arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the air bag bracket 210 in a circumferential direction, and seven buckles 251 corresponding to the seven hooks 211 are arranged on the circumferential edge of the cover 250 in a circumferential direction. When the cover 250 is installed on the air bag bracket 210, the seven buckles 251 on the circumferential edge of the cover 250 are correspondingly buckled into the seven hooks 211 on the outer circumferential surface of the air bag bracket 210. Of course, the number of the hooks 211 and the buckles 251 is not limited to the number in the embodiment, and the number should be designed according to actual needs.
[0055] Referring to Figure 4 and Figure 5 and focusing on Figure 2 , three guide sleeves 260 are formed on the bottom surface of the air bag bracket 210, and the three guide sleeves 260 correspond to the three positioning holes 110 on the steering wheel body 100 in a one-to-one correspondence. A draw nail 410 is arranged in each guide sleeve 260, and the flange part 415 of each draw nail 410 is hung on the upper end flange surface of the guide sleeve 260. After the draw nail 410 passes through the positioning hole 110 correspondingly, the second axial limiting part 414 of the draw nail 410 is hung on the clamping steel wire 320, so as to prevent the air bag assembly 200 from being separated from the steering wheel assembly 100 when the air bag assembly 200 is detonated.
[0056] The horn conducting assembly comprises a contact wire 310, a clamping wire 320 and three horn springs 330. The contact wire 310 is mounted on the inner bottom surface of the airbag bracket 210 through a plurality of clamps (not shown in the figure) arranged at intervals, the clamping wire 320 is arranged on the bottom surface of the airbag module mounting cavity 101 of the steering wheel body 100, and respectively forms contact with the neck portion 412 and the second axial limiting portion 414 of the three draw pins 410. The three horn springs 330 are in one-to-one correspondence with the three guide sleeves 260, and each horn spring 330 is correspondingly sleeved on the outer cylinder surface of the guide sleeve 260, with the upper end abutting against the bottom surface of the airbag bracket 210 of the airbag assembly 200 and the lower end abutting against the middle flange surface of the positioning sleeve 420. When the airbag assembly 200 is pressed, the three horn springs 330 on the outer cylinder surface of the three guide sleeves 260 are compressed downward, while the three draw pins 410 remain stationary, and the contact wire 310 on the airbag bracket 210 moves downward, and the contact wire 310 touches the upper end surface of the draw pin 410 during the downward movement, so that the contact wire 310 is electrically conducted through the draw pin 410, thereby sounding the horn.
[0057] Referring to Figure 11 , the airbag assembly 200 is continuously pressed downward after the horn is conducted, and the first axial limiting portion 413 of the draw pin 410 drives the second inner elastic limiting portion 422 of the positioning sleeve 420 to open, thereby allowing the contact wire 310 to drive the draw pin 410 to continue to move downward until the guide sleeve 260 contacts the hard limiting portion 425 of the positioning sleeve 420.
[0058] Referring to Figures 4 to 10 , the airbag assembly 200 and the steering wheel body 100 of the present application are elastically positioned and matched through a positioning and matching structure 400. Specifically, the positioning and matching structure comprises the above-mentioned guide sleeve 260, draw pin 410, positioning sleeve 420 and clamping wire 320. The draw pin 410 is arranged in the guide sleeve 260, and the positioning sleeve 420 is mounted outside the guide sleeve 260.
[0059] The draw pin 410 has a radial positioning portion 411, a neck portion 412, a first axial limiting portion 413, a second axial limiting portion 414, a flange portion 415 and a guide portion 416. The outer diameter of the neck portion 412 is smaller than the outer diameters of the radial positioning portion 411 and the guide portion 416, and the first axial limiting portion 413 and the second axial limiting portion 414 are arranged at the upper and lower ends of the neck portion 412. In this embodiment, the first axial limiting portion 413 is a tapered surface or a flat end surface, and the second axial limiting portion 414 is a flat end surface.
[0060] The positioning sleeve 420 has a first inner elastic positioning part 421, a second inner elastic positioning part 422, an outer elastic positioning part 423 and a third inner elastic positioning part 424. The first inner elastic positioning part 421 elastically and radially positions the guide sleeve 260 arranged on the air bag assembly 200, the second inner elastic positioning part 422 elastically and radially positions the puller 410 arranged on the air bag assembly 200, and at the same time, the second inner elastic positioning part 422 also elastically positions the puller 410 in the axial direction (upwardly lifts), the outer elastic positioning part 423 elastically and radially positions the positioning hole 110 arranged on the steering wheel body 100, and the third inner elastic positioning part 424 elastically and radially positions the radial positioning part 411 of the puller 410. The first inner elastic positioning part 421, the second inner elastic positioning part 422, the outer elastic positioning part 423 and the third inner elastic positioning part 424 are coaxially arranged.
[0061] The first inner elastic positioning part 421 has a ring-shaped cantilever structure. Specifically, a guide protrusion 260a is arranged on the guide sleeve 260 and cooperates with a guide surface 421a on the first inner elastic positioning part 421, so that the linear surface cooperation positioning is more accurate and the movement is more flexible. Of course, the guide protrusion 260a is not necessary, and the guide surface 421a can be directly used to elastically and radially position the guide sleeve 260 in order to further simplify the structure.
[0062] The second inner elastic positioning part 422 is composed of three elastic sheets 422a arranged in a circumferential shape. Of course, the number of the elastic sheets 422a is not limited to that in the embodiment, and at least two elastic sheets 422a can be arranged according to the positioning requirement. An inner boss 422a' is arranged at a position where each elastic sheet 422a contacts the puller 410, and the inner boss 422a' elastically and radially cooperates with the first axial limiting part 413 of the puller 410 to limit the downward movement of the puller 410 before the puller 410 contacts the contact wire 310. The elastic cooperation here can be one of gap cooperation, 0-gap elastic cooperation or interference elastic cooperation. The puller 410 is elastically and axially arranged in the positioning sleeve 420. Since the second inner elastic positioning part 422 has good elasticity, when the upper end surface of the puller 410 contacts the contact wire 310 and is driven to continue to move downwardly by the pressing force after the second inner elastic positioning part 422 is opened, the hard limiting part 425 of the guide sleeve 260 and the positioning sleeve 420 is contacted, as shown in FIG. 6, so as to ensure the reliable elastic contact between the contact wire 310 and the puller 410, reduce the collision noise when the upper end surfaces of the contact wire 310 and the puller 410 contact, and avoid damage to the horn conduction assembly due to strong operation. Figure 11
[0063] The bottom end surface 422b of the elastic sheet 422a cooperates with the second axial limiting portion 414 of the lower portion of the pull rod 410 to prevent the positioning sleeve 420 from falling off before the airbag assembly 200 is installed to the steering wheel body 100. When the airbag assembly 200 is installed to the steering wheel body 100, the bottom end surface 422b of the elastic sheet 422a is away from the second axial limiting portion 414 and no longer prevents the positioning sleeve 420 from falling off.
[0064] The third inner elastic positioning portion 424 has an inner arc surface structure, and three guide ribs 424a are circumferentially spaced on the inner annular surface of the third inner elastic positioning portion 424. Of course, the number of the guide ribs 424a is not limited to the number in the embodiment. The guide ribs 424a respectively elastically cooperate with the radial positioning portion 411 of the pull rod 410 in the radial direction to prevent the pull rod 410 from shaking inside the guide sleeve 260 and generating abnormal sound. The elastic cooperation can be one of clearance fit, 0-clearance elastic fit or interference elastic fit. Of course, the guide ribs 424a are not necessary, and the inner arc surface of the third inner elastic positioning portion 424 can directly cooperate with the radial positioning portion 411 of the pull rod 410 in the radial direction to further simplify the structure.
[0065] In addition, the guide sleeve 260 is provided with axially extending notches 261 circumferentially spaced thereon, so that the end of the guide sleeve 260 cooperating with the first inner elastic positioning portion has better elasticity. The number of the notches 261 corresponds to the number of the third inner elastic positioning portion 424. When the positioning sleeve 420 is installed, the third inner elastic positioning portion 424 is located in the three notches 261 of the guide sleeve 260 respectively. The third inner elastic positioning portion 424 clearance fits with the side surface of the notches 261 to prevent the positioning sleeve 420 from rotating around the guide sleeve 260 after being installed.
[0066] The outer elastic positioning portion 423 has an annular structure, and three outer bosses 423a are circumferentially spaced on the outer annular surface of the outer elastic positioning portion 423. Of course, the number of the outer bosses 423a is not limited to the number in the embodiment, and at least two outer bosses 423a can be provided according to positioning requirements. A positioning outer arc surface 423a' is arranged at the position where each outer boss 423a contacts the positioning hole 110 of the steering wheel body 100. The positioning outer arc surface 423a' elastically cooperates with the hole surface of the positioning hole 110 of the steering wheel body 100 to position the positioning sleeve 420 in the positioning hole 110. The elastic cooperation can be one of clearance elastic fit, 0-clearance elastic fit or interference elastic fit. In the embodiment, the outer boss 423a preferably has a cantilever structure.
[0067] The first inner elastic positioning portion 421, the second inner elastic positioning portion 422, the outer elastic positioning portion 423 and the third inner elastic positioning portion 424 of the positioning sleeve 420 are integrally formed by injection molding. In the embodiment, the positioning sleeve 420 is preferably made of engineering plastic material and is formed by injection molding.
[0068] When the air bag assembly 200 is installed into the steering wheel body 100, the second axial limiting portion 414 of the pull pin 410 is in axial positioning cooperation with the clamping wire 320 fixed in the steering wheel body 100. In order to further reduce the contact noise of the pull pin 410, a soft damping sleeve 417 can be wrapped on the upper flange portion 415 of the pull pin 410.
[0069] In order to avoid damage or falling of the contact wire 310 when the horn switch is operated with great force, a boss 221 is arranged on the air bag clamp plate 220 to press on the contact wire 310.

[0071] Firstly, the horn spring 330 is installed on the positioning sleeve 420 to form a first-1 combination, then the first-1 combination is installed on the guide sleeve 260, and then the pull pin 410 is passed through the hole in the guide sleeve 260 and the hole in the positioning sleeve 420 from the inside of the air bag bracket 210, and finally the flat end surface of the second inner elastic positioning portion 422 clamps the second axial limiting portion 414 to form a first combination;
[0072] Secondly, the contact spring 340 is installed in the installation groove (not shown in the figure) in the air bag bracket 210, and then the contact wire 310 is pressed into the installation groove (not shown in the figure) in the air bag bracket 210, and the buckle (not shown in the figure) arranged near the installation groove is used to assemble them together to form a second combination;
[0073] Thirdly, the gas generator 230 is installed on the air bag clamp plate 220 to form a third-1 combination, then the third-1 combination is placed into the air bag 240, and the bottom of the gas generator 230 and the bolt column (not labeled in the figure) of the air bag clamp plate 220 are exposed to form a third-2 combination, then the third-2 combination is placed into the second combination and folded into a shape, and finally the nut 270 is used to fix them together to form a third combination;
[0074] Fourthly, the third combination is pressed into the cover 250, and the hook 211 and the buckle 251 are used to assemble them together to form the air bag assembly 200;
