[0037] When the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, and the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, so that the locking cam 72 is locked and the locking cam 72 is locked.

[0038] See also Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 A polygonal slot 41 is provided at the lower end of the connecting block 4, a contraction groove 42 is provided on the inner side wall of the polygonal slot 41, a threaded hole 43 is provided through the side of the contraction groove 42, a polygonal plug-in block 52 is inserted into the polygonal slot 41, the lower end of the polygonal plug-in block 52 is fixedly connected to the steering bracket 5, the upper end of the steering bracket 5 is in contact with the lower end of the connecting block 4, a groove 53 is provided on the side of the polygonal plug-in block 52, a docking tooth plate 54 is fixedly connected in the groove 53, and a locking mechanism for fixing the polygonal plug-in block 52 is installed in the contraction groove 42.

[0039] The locking mechanism provided can facilitate installation and disassembly between the polygonal plug block 52 and the connecting block 4, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly of the steering wheel 51 and facilitating maintenance, repair and replacement of the steering wheel 51 at a later stage.

[0040] The locking mechanism includes a concave block 81 slidably mounted on the locking tooth plate 8, fixedly mounted on the side of the locking tooth plate 8, a second elastic sheet 82 symmetrically fixedly mounted on the side of the locking tooth plate 8, and a locking bolt 9 installed in the threaded hole 43. One end of the locking bolt 9 extends through the threaded hole 43 to the contraction groove 42 and is fixedly connected to the light rod 91. One end of the light rod 91 extends through the concave block 81 to the inner side thereof and is fixedly connected to the locking ring 92.

[0041] The locking tooth plate 8 is engaged with the docking tooth plate 54, the cross-sections of the teeth of the locking tooth plate 8 and the docking tooth plate 54 are right-angled triangles, the inclined surfaces of the teeth of the locking tooth plate 8 and the docking tooth plate 54 are arranged in parallel, the right-angled ends of the teeth of the docking tooth plate 54 are arranged at the lower ends of the teeth, and the right-angled ends of the teeth of the locking tooth plate 8 are arranged at the upper ends of the teeth, and the teeth of the locking tooth plate 8 are engaged with the teeth of the docking tooth plate 54;

[0042] One side of the second elastic piece 82 abuts against the inner wall of the contraction groove 42 , and the second elastic piece 82 applies elastic force to the locking tooth plate 8 . The locking bolt 9 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 43 , and the polished rod 91 is slidably connected to the concave block 81 .

[0043] The diameter of the polished rod 91 is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of the threaded hole 43 , that is, the polished rod 91 can slide flexibly along the threaded hole 43 .

[0044] The locking bolt 9 is screwed into the threaded hole 43, and the locking bolt 9 drives the polished rod 91 to slide along the concave block 81. At the same time, the polished rod 91 drives the locking ring 92 to approach the locking tooth plate 8 until the locking ring 92 abuts against the side of the locking tooth plate 8, thereby stopping the locking bolt 9 from being further selected into the threaded hole 43. The locking ring 92 is arranged to firmly abut the locking tooth plate 8 to prevent the locking tooth plate 8 from separating from the docking tooth plate 54, thereby firmly fixing the steering bracket 5 and the connecting block 4.

[0045] Working principle: When the vehicle needs to turn, the inner rod of the electric telescopic rod 7 is first contracted to drive the extension rod 72 and the rectangular sleeve 74 to move, the extension rod 72 drives the self-locking tooth block 73 to separate from the limiting tooth ring 62, and the rectangular sleeve 74 drives the deceleration pad 75 to separate from the positioning ring 61, so that the limiting mechanism releases the fixation of the circular shaft 32;

[0046] At this time, the servo motor 24 drives the reducer 23 to rotate, the output shaft of the reducer 23 drives the active synchronous gear 25 to rotate, the active synchronous gear 25 drives the driven synchronous gear 34 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 35, the driven synchronous gear 34 drives the round shaft 32 to rotate, the round shaft 32 drives the connecting block 4 to rotate through the rotating round block 3, the connecting block 4 drives the steering wheel 51 to rotate through the polygonal plug block 52 and the steering bracket 5, thereby realizing the vehicle steering operation;

[0047] Since the vehicle is provided with steering components at both ends, the vehicle can be turned conveniently, and the turning radius is small, so that the vehicle can still turn stably in a narrow space. The potentiometer 33 is set to detect the actual rotation angle of the steering wheel 51 in real time, and the data feedback of the potentiometer 33 and the servo motor 24 form a closed-loop control, which greatly improves the actual rotation angle accuracy of the steering wheel 51.

[0048] When the vehicle turns, the inner rod of the electric telescopic rod 7 extends to drive the pressure plate 71 to move, and the pressure plate 71 drives the extension rod 72 and the rectangular sleeve 74 to move, and the rectangular sleeve 74 drives the deceleration pad 75 to contact the positioning ring 61 first;

[0049] When the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, and the locking cam 72 is in the unlocking state, so that the locking cam 72 is locked and the locking cam 72 is locked.

[0050] When the steering wheel 51 of the vehicle needs to be disassembled, the locking bolt 9 is screwed out of the threaded hole 43, and the locking bolt 9 drives one end of the polished rod 91 to slide outward along the threaded hole 43, and the other end of the polished rod 91 slides along the concave block 81;

[0051] The light rod 91 drives the locking ring 92 to contact the inner wall of the concave block 81. At this time, the locking bolt 9 is pulled outward, and the locking bolt 9 drives the light rod 91 to move outward. The light rod 91 drives the concave block 81 to move into the contraction groove 42 through the locking ring 92. The concave block 81 drives the locking tooth plate 8 to move into the contraction groove 42, so that the locking tooth plate 8 is separated from the docking tooth plate 54. At this time, the steering bracket 5 is pulled downward to move the polygonal plug block 52 out of the polygonal slot 41, thereby completing the disassembly of the steering wheel 51.

[0052] When the steering wheel 51 needs to be installed, the polygonal plug block 52 at the upper end of the steering bracket 5 is inserted along the polygonal slot 41. When the docking tooth plate 54 on the side of the polygonal plug block 52 contacts the locking tooth plate 8, the docking tooth plate 54 squeezes the locking tooth plate 8 to move into the contraction groove 42, and the locking tooth plate 8 squeezes the second elastic sheet 82. When the polygonal plug block 52 is completely inserted into the polygonal slot 41, that is, the upper end of the steering bracket 5 contacts the lower end of the connecting block 4, the locking tooth plate 8 is engaged with the docking tooth plate 54 under the action of the elastic force of the second elastic sheet 82, so that the polygonal plug block 52 is initially fixed to the connecting block 4.

[0053] Then screw the locking bolt 9 into the threaded hole 43, the locking bolt 9 drives the polished rod 91 to slide along the concave block 81, and at the same time the polished rod 91 drives the locking ring 92 to approach the locking toothed plate 8 until the locking ring 92 abuts against the side of the locking toothed plate 8, thereby stopping the locking bolt 9 from being further inserted into the threaded hole 43, and the locking ring 92 is firmly against the locking toothed plate 8 to prevent the locking toothed plate 8 from separating from the docking toothed plate 54, so that the steering bracket 5 and the connecting block 4 are firmly fixed, thereby completing the installation of the steering wheel 51;

[0054] The locking mechanism provided can facilitate installation and disassembly of the polygonal plug block 52 and the connecting block 4, thereby facilitating installation and disassembly of the steering wheel 51, and facilitating the subsequent maintenance, repair and replacement of the steering wheel 51, thereby greatly improving work efficiency.

[0055] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
