Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of vehicle technology, specifically relating to a steering column shifting device and a vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] According to the latest regulations of the 2021 CNCAP (China New Car Assessment Program) and ENCAP (European New Car Assessment Program), a knee impact assessment will be conducted for frontal collisions. The impact area of ​​the knee will be set according to different vehicle shape boundaries and specific human body size information.

[0003] However, in existing technology, a gear shift lever structure is installed in the steering column area to enable gear shifting. The presence of this gear shift lever structure can cause the steering column area score to exceed the limit, affecting driver safety. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a steering column shifting device and vehicle, aiming to at least partially solve the technical problem that the presence of the shift lever structure can lead to excessive scoring in the steering column area, thus affecting driver safety.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] A steering column shifting device, characterized in that it comprises: a support member rotatably mounted on the steering column; an elastic component mounted on the support member or slidably mounted on the steering column; and an adjusting member rotatably connected to the support member and switchable between a first position, a second position, and a third position, one end of the adjusting member extending toward and connecting to the elastic component; wherein, when the adjusting member is in the first position, the steering column is in a locked state; when the adjusting member is in the second position, the steering column is in an unlocked state; and when the adjusting member is in the third position, the elastic component undergoes elastic deformation.

[0007] In some implementations, the elastic component includes: a connector disposed on the support or slidably disposed on the steering column, the connector having a cavity; and an elastic element disposed within the cavity, one end of the adjusting element passing through the connector and connected to the elastic element.

[0008] In some embodiments, the elastic component further includes: a limiting member disposed on the connecting member, the limiting member having a first through hole communicating with the chamber, and one end of the adjusting member passing through the first through hole and connected to the elastic component.

[0009] In some embodiments, the adjusting member is provided with a first locking member and a second locking member, the first locking member being located inside the cavity and the second locking member being located outside the cavity; wherein, when the adjusting member is in the first position, the second locking member abuts against the limiting member, and when the adjusting member is in the third position, the first locking member abuts against the limiting member.

[0010] In some embodiments, when the adjusting member is in the first position, the distance between the first locking member and the limiting member is 20mm-50mm.

[0011] In some implementations, the elastic coefficient of the elastic element is the quotient of twice the failure force of the first locking element and the distance between the first locking element and the limiting element.

[0012] In some implementations, the first locking element may be detachably connected to the adjusting element.

[0013] In some embodiments, the adjusting member includes: an adjusting handle; a first connecting portion connected to the elastic component; and a second connecting portion, one end of which is connected to the adjusting handle and the other end of which is connected to the first connecting portion, wherein the second connecting portion is angled to the first connecting portion.

[0014] In some embodiments, one of the support member and the adjusting member is provided with a rotating member, and the other has a second through hole, wherein the rotating member is rotatably disposed in the second through hole.

[0015] Based on the same inventive concept, the present invention also provides a vehicle including the aforementioned steering column shifting device.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the present invention include at least the following:

[0017] Because the support member is rotatably mounted on the steering column, and the elastic component is mounted on the support member or slidably mounted on the steering column, the adjusting member is rotatably connected to the support member and can switch between a first position, a second position, and a third position. One end of the adjusting member extends towards the elastic component and connects to it. When the adjusting member is in the first position, the steering column is locked; when the adjusting member is in the second position, the steering column is unlocked. Therefore, to unlock the steering column, press down on the end of the adjusting member away from the elastic component. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member rotates on the support member, causing it to press upward against the elastic component, making the adjusting member and the support member a single unit. During the process of the adjusting member switching from the first position to the second position, the adjusting member drives the support member to rotate on the steering column, and the support member drives the steering column lock to unlock. When the adjusting member reaches the second position, the steering column is unlocked. To lock the steering column, lift the adjusting member away from the elastic component. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member rotates on the support member. The adjusting component pulls down the elastic component until it reaches its limit position, making the adjusting component and the support component a single unit. During the process of the adjusting component switching from the second position to the first position, the adjusting component drives the support component to rotate on the steering column. The support component drives the lock of the steering column to lock. When the adjusting component reaches the second position, the locking of the steering column is completed. If the elastic component is slidably mounted on the steering column, the adjusting component will push or pull the elastic component to slide on the steering column to ensure that the support component can rotate on the steering column. When a vehicle collision occurs, under the action of inertia, the driver's knee will move towards the steering column. That is to say, the driver's knee will impact the adjusting component, causing the end of the adjusting component away from the elastic component to tilt upward, which can reduce the force on the driver's knee and at the same time, make room for crushing. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting component pulls the elastic component, causing the elastic component to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic force generated by the elastic component balances the impact force on the driver's knee to reduce the impact force and reduce the risk of driver injury. Attached Figure Description

[0036] This application is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:

[0037] The steering column shifting device and vehicle provided in this embodiment aim to at least partially solve the technical problem that the presence of the shift lever structure can cause the score in the steering column area to exceed the standard, thus affecting the driver's safety.

[0038] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a steering column shifting device installed on a steering column according to some embodiments; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram showing the steering column shift device mounted on a support member according to some embodiments. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 and Figure 4 The steering column shifting device of this embodiment includes a support member 10, an elastic component 20, and an adjusting member 30. The support member 10 is rotatably mounted on the steering column 40. The elastic component 20 is mounted on the support member 10 or slidably mounted on the steering column 40. The adjusting member 30 is rotatably connected to the support member 10 and can switch between a first position, a second position, and a third position. One end of the adjusting member 30 extends toward and connects to the elastic component 20. Specifically, when the adjusting member 30 is in the first position, the steering column 40 is in a locked state; when the adjusting member 30 is in the second position, the steering column 40 is in an unlocked state; and when the adjusting member 30 is in the third position, the elastic component 20 undergoes elastic deformation.

[0039] Since the support member 10 is rotatably mounted on the steering column 40, and the elastic component 20 is mounted on the support member 10 or slidably mounted on the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 is rotatably connected to the support member 10 and can switch between a first position, a second position, and a third position. One end of the adjusting member 30 extends towards the elastic component 20 and is connected to it. When the adjusting member 30 is in the first position, the steering column 40 is in a locked state; when the adjusting member 30 is in the second position, the steering column 40 is in an unlocked state. Therefore, to unlock the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 is pressed down to move away from the elastic component 20. At the end of position 0, under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 rotates on the support member 10, causing the adjusting member 30 to press upward against the elastic component 20, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the first position to the second position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40, and the support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to unlock. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the unlocking of the steering column 40 is completed. When the steering column 40 needs to be locked, the adjusting member 30 is raised away from the end of the elastic component 20. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30... As the support member 10 rotates, the adjusting member 30 pulls down the elastic component 20 until the elastic component 20 reaches its limit position, making the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 a single unit. During the transition from the second position to the first position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40. The support member 10 then engages the locking mechanism of the steering column 40. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the steering column 40 is locked. If the elastic component 20 is slidably mounted on the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 will push or pull the elastic component 20 to slide on the steering column 40 to ensure the support... The component 10 can rotate on the steering column 40. When a collision occurs, the driver's knee will move towards the steering column 40 due to inertia. In other words, the driver's knee will impact the adjusting component 30, causing the end of the adjusting component 30 away from the elastic component 20 to tilt upwards. This reduces the force on the driver's knee and creates space for crushing. Under the lever principle, the adjusting component 30 pulls the elastic component 20, causing the elastic component 20 to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic force generated by the elastic component 20 balances the impact force on the driver's knee, thereby reducing the impact force and the risk of driver injury.

[0040] In some embodiments, the steering column shifting device of this application can not only unlock and lock the steering column, but also reduce impact force and reduce the risk of driver injury, achieving two functions in one piece, with a simple structure and reduced cost.

[0041] Figure 2 for Figure 1A schematic diagram of the structure of the elastic component. (Combined with...) Figure 2 In some embodiments, to achieve elastic deformation of the elastic component 20, the elastic component 20 includes a connector 201 and an elastic element 202. The connector 201 is disposed on the support member 10 or slidably disposed on the steering column 40, and the connector 201 has a cavity. The elastic element 202 is disposed in the cavity, and one end of the adjusting member 30 passes through the connector 201 and connects to the elastic element 202, so as to protect the elastic element 202 and ensure its safety. The elastic element 202 can be a spring.

[0042] In some embodiments, when the steering column 40 is to be unlocked, the adjusting member 30 is pressed down away from the end of the elastic component 20. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 rotates on the support member 10, so that the adjusting member 30 pushes upward against the elastic component 202, the elastic component 202 is compressed, and the adjusting member 30 abuts against the connecting member 201. The connecting member 201 abuts against the adjusting member 30, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the first position to the second position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40, and the support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform the unlocking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the unlocking of the steering column 40 is completed. When locking the steering column 40, lift the end of the adjusting member 30 away from the elastic component 20. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 rotates on the support member 10. The adjusting member 30 will pull down the elastic component 202 until the elastic component 202 is stretched to the limit position, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the second position to the first position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40. The support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform the locking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the locking of the steering column 40 is completed. When a vehicle collision occurs, the driver's knee will move towards the steering column 40 due to inertia. In other words, the driver's knee will impact the adjusting member 30, causing the end of the adjusting member 30 away from the elastic component 20 to tilt upwards. This reduces the force on the driver's knee and creates space for crushing. Under the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 pulls the elastic component 202, causing the elastic component 202 to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic force generated by the elastic component 202 balances the impact force on the driver's knee, thereby reducing the impact force and the risk of driver injury.

[0043] In some embodiments, if the connector 201 is provided on the support 10, the connector 201 is fixedly connected to the support 10, so that during the process of unlocking or locking the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 can drive the support 10 to rotate on the steering column 40.

[0044] In some embodiments, if the connector 201 is slidably disposed on the steering column 40, a groove is provided on the steering column 40, and the connector 201 is slidably disposed in the groove to ensure that the connector 201 can slide in the groove. During the process of unlocking or locking the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 will push or pull the connector 201 to slide on the steering column 40 through the elastic member 202, so that the adjusting member 30 can drive the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40.

[0045] In some embodiments, to prevent the elastic element 202 from falling out of the cavity, the elastic assembly 20 further includes a limiting element 203. The limiting element 203 is disposed on the connecting element 201, and a first through hole communicating with the cavity is provided on the limiting element 203. One end of the adjusting element 30 passes through the first through hole and is connected to the elastic element 202. The limiting element 203 closes the cavity to ensure the stability of the installation of the elastic element 202.

[0046] In some embodiments, along the axial direction of the connector 201, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through hole is smaller than the cross-sectional area of ​​the elastic member 202 to ensure the stability of the installation of the elastic member 202.

[0047] In some embodiments, to ensure the service life of the elastic element 202, the adjusting member 30 is provided with a first locking member 50 and a second locking member 60. The first locking member 50 is located inside the cavity, and the second locking member 60 is located outside the cavity. When the adjusting member 30 is in the first position, the second locking member 60 abuts against the limiting member 203; when the adjusting member 30 is in the third position, the first locking member 50 abuts against the limiting member 203. This prevents the elastic element 202 from being compressed or stretched to its limit position, reducing the risk of failure of the elastic element 202. The first locking member 50 and the second locking member 60 can be locking pins.

[0048] In some embodiments, when the steering column 40 is to be unlocked, the adjusting member 30 is pressed down away from the end of the elastic component 20. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 rotates on the support member 10, and the second locking member 60 abuts against the limiting member 203. That is, the limiting member 203 will press against the second locking member 60. When the elastic member 202 is not compressed to the limit position, the adjusting member 30 will not rotate on the support member 10, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole, ensuring the safety of the elastic member 202. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the first position to the second position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40, and the support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform the unlocking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the unlocking of the steering column 40 is completed.

[0049] In some embodiments, when locking the steering column 40, the adjusting member 30 is raised away from the end of the elastic component 20. Under the action of the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 rotates on the support member 10. The adjusting member 30 will drive the first locking member 50 to move in the cavity until the first locking member 50 abuts against the limiting member 203. That is, the limiting member 203 will hold the first locking member 50. When the elastic member 202 is not stretched to the limit position, the adjusting member 30 will not rotate on the support member 10, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole, ensuring the safety of the elastic member 202. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the second position to the first position, the adjusting member 30 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40. The support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform the locking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the locking of the steering column 40 is completed.

[0050] In some embodiments, when a vehicle collision occurs, the driver's knee will move towards the steering column 40 due to inertia. That is, the driver's knee will impact the adjusting member 30, causing the end of the adjusting member 30 away from the elastic component 20 to tilt upwards. This reduces the force on the driver's knee and creates space for crushing. Under the lever principle, the adjusting member 30 pulls the elastic member 202, causing the elastic member 202 to undergo elastic deformation until the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203 come into contact. The elastic force generated by the elastic member 202 balances the impact force on the driver's knee, thereby reducing the impact force and the risk of driver injury. At the same time, it prevents the elastic member 202 from detaching from the cavity of the connecting member 201, facilitating maintenance and reducing maintenance costs.

[0051] In some embodiments, in order to ensure the stability of the adjustment member 30 during installation, when the adjustment member 30 is in the first position, the elastic member 202 pulls the adjustment member 30 so that the second locking member 60 can abut against the limiting member 203. During the process of unlocking the steering column 40, the second locking member 60 can directly act on the limiting member 203, avoiding excessive travel of the adjustment member 30 and ensuring the user's experience.

[0052] In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the crush space meets the requirements, when the adjusting member 30 is in the first position, the distance between the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203 is 20mm-50mm, so as to reduce the impact force and reduce the risk of driver injury.

[0053] Figure 5 This is a simplified schematic diagram of the kneeemapping impact curves for some embodiments. (Combined with...) Figure 5In some embodiments, in order to ensure that the elastic force generated by the elastic member 202 is balanced with the impact force on the driver's knee, the elastic coefficient of the elastic member 202 is the quotient of twice the failure force value of the first locking member 50 and the distance between the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203, so as to reduce the impact force and reduce the risk of driver injury.

[0054] In some embodiments, as indicated by the thigh force deduction requirements in the CNCAP 2021 official evaluation procedure, the failure force value of the first locking member 50 must be less than 3.8 kN. To ensure both safety margin and maximum benefit, this application sets the failure force value at 2.5 kN.

[0055] In some embodiments, the failure force value F of the first locking member 50 is F = K*S / 2, where K is the elastic coefficient of the elastic member 202, and S is the distance between the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203. The energy value under the corresponding area can be calculated from the knee impact curve. The energy value E = F*S = K*S*S / 2 indicates that the distance S between the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203 can be 20mm-50mm, which can be confirmed based on different leg spaces. After confirming the distance S between the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203, the failure force value F required for the first locking member 50 under different performance parameters can be calculated based on the area of ​​the shaded graphic. Combined with simplified empirical parameters, the coefficient K of the corresponding elastic member 202 can be calculated. The maximum force value that the failure force value F of the first locking member 50 can bear must be <2.5KN.

[0056] In some embodiments, to further reduce the risk of driver injury, the first locking member 50 is detachably connected to the adjusting member 30.

[0057] In some embodiments, when a vehicle collision occurs, if the impact force is large, that is, after the first locking member 50 and the limiting member 203 come into contact, the driver's knee will still impact the adjusting member 30 under the action of inertia. At this time, the first locking member 50 and the adjusting member 30 separate. It can be understood that when the failure force value F of the first locking member 50 is ≥ 2.5KN, the first locking member 50 fails, allowing the adjusting member 30 to move further, thereby avoiding the risk of the maximum contact force value being greater than 3.8KN, further reducing the impact force, and reducing the risk of driver injury.

[0058] In some embodiments, to facilitate operation of the adjustment handle 30, the adjustment member 30 includes: an adjustment handle 301, a first connecting portion 302, and a second connecting portion 303. The first connecting portion 302 is connected to the elastic component 20. One end of the second connecting portion 303 is connected to the adjustment handle 301, and the other end is connected to the first connecting portion 302. The second connecting portion 303 and the first connecting portion 302 are arranged at an angle. The angle between the second connecting portion 303 and the first connecting portion 302 can be 90°.

[0059] In some embodiments, when the steering column 40 is to be unlocked, the adjusting handle 301 is pressed down. Under the action of the lever principle, the second connecting part 303 rotates on the support member 10, causing the first connecting part 302 to press upward against the elastic member 202. The elastic member 202 is compressed until it is compressed to its limit, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the first position to the second position, the second connecting part 303 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40. The support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform an unlocking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the unlocking of the steering column 40 is completed. When locking the steering column 40, lift the adjusting handle 301. Under the action of the lever principle, the second connecting part 303 rotates on the support member 10, and the first connecting part 302 pulls down the elastic member 202 until the elastic member 202 is stretched to the limit position, so that the adjusting member 30 and the support member 10 become a whole. During the process of the adjusting member 30 switching from the second position to the first position, the second connecting part 303 drives the support member 10 to rotate on the steering column 40, and the support member 10 drives the lock of the steering column 40 to perform the locking action. When the adjusting member 30 reaches the second position, the locking of the steering column 40 is completed. When a vehicle collision occurs, the driver's knee will move towards the steering column 40 due to inertia. In other words, the driver's knee will impact the adjustment handle 301, causing the adjustment handle 30 to tilt upwards. This reduces the force on the driver's knee and creates space for crushing. Under the lever principle, the first connecting part 302 pulls the elastic element 202, causing the elastic element 202 to undergo elastic deformation. The elastic force generated by the elastic element 202 balances the impact force on the driver's knee, thereby reducing the impact force and the risk of driver injury.

[0060] Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the steering components of the steering column shift mechanism. (Combined with...) Figure 3 In some embodiments, to ensure that the adjusting member 30 can rotate on the support 10, one of the support member 10 and the adjusting member 30 is provided with a rotating member 70, and the other is provided with a second through hole. The rotating member 70 is rotatably disposed in the second through hole. The rotating member 70 can be a rotating shaft.

[0061] In some embodiments, the support member 10 may be provided with a rotating member 70, and the adjusting member 30 may have a second through hole, with the rotating member 70 rotatably disposed within the second through hole. Of course, in other embodiments, the adjusting member 30 may be provided with a rotating member 70, and the support member 10 may have a second through hole, with the rotating member 70 rotatably disposed within the second through hole.
