Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steering wheel health monitoring, and in particular to a health monitoring steering wheel. Background Art

[0002] In today's automotive industry, with the rapid development of intelligent and autonomous driving technologies, drivers' safety and health issues are receiving more and more attention, especially for truck drivers. The steering wheel is the main interactive interface between the driver and the vehicle. Its design not only needs to consider the handling performance, but also needs to pay attention to the driver's health. Truck drivers generally drive for a long time. If their bodies are not monitored in time, it may lead to fatigue and physical health problems while driving, which can easily lead to safety accidents. The health monitoring steering wheel is an innovative product that has been born out of necessity. It improves driving safety and comfort by integrating health monitoring functions.

[0003] A Chinese patent discloses: a health monitoring steering wheel and car, patent announcement number: CN117087691A, the patent "includes a steering wheel, a monitoring system and an early warning device, the steering wheel is provided with an installation slot for installing a contact sensor; the health monitoring steering wheel and car of the present invention".

[0004] Although the steering wheel is equipped with a sensor module that can collect physiological parameters and biometrics, so that the driver can monitor his health status during driving and remind the driver in time, it is lacking a sound feedback mechanism despite being equipped with light and vibration reminder functions. This lack may cause the driver to be unable to effectively receive the warning signals of lights and steering wheel vibrations in a tired environment in actual use. At the same time, the vibrations caused by daytime driving and vehicle driving will not make the vibration and light feedback too obvious. When the driver is tired or inattentive, the reminder methods that rely solely on vision and touch are not enough to attract their sufficient attention. At the same time, the steering wheel is not equipped with anti-slip components. When driving for a long time or in a high temperature environment, the driver's hands are prone to sweating, which leads to a decrease in friction when holding the steering wheel. A steering wheel without an anti-slip design may make the driver's grip unstable under slippery conditions, increase the risk of hand slippage, affect the control of the vehicle, and further lead to the occurrence of safety accidents. Summary of the invention

[0021] For further information, see Attachment Figures 1 to 4As shown, the monitoring feedback mechanism includes a half gear 8 rotatably connected to the inside of the feedback box 2, the outer wall of the shaft of the half gear 8 is sleeved with a torsion spring 9, a reset plate 10 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the feedback box 2 near the half gear 8, one end of the torsion spring 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the reset plate 10, the top of the half gear 8 is fixedly connected to an extrusion block 11, the side wall of the extrusion block 11 is in contact with one end of the torsion spring 9, one end of the half gear 8 is fixedly connected to a push column 12, the bottom of the feedback box 2 near the push column 12 is fixedly connected to a servo motor 13, the data control module 6 is electrically connected to the electrode sheet 5 and the servo motor 13, the output end of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to a rotating push plate 14, the two sides of one end of the rotating push plate 14 are arc-shaped, the rotating push plate 14 is in contact with the outer wall of the push column 12, the end of the feedback box 2 near the half gear 8 is rotatably connected to the first gear 15, the first gear 15 is in contact with the outer wall of the half gear 8 The second gear 16 is meshed, and the top of the first gear 15 is fixedly connected to the second gear 16. The top of the half gear 8 is provided with a through slot 29. The middle part of the feedback box 2 passes through the through slot 29 and is rotatably connected to the third gear 17. The outer walls of the second gear 16 and the third gear 17 are meshed with each other. The top of the third gear 17 is fixedly connected to the rotating support plate 18. The two sides of the rotating support plate 18 are fixedly connected to the limiting columns 19. The outer wall of the limiting column 19 is provided with a knocking block 20. The side walls of the knocking block 20 are in contact with the bell 22 respectively. The middle part of the knocking block 20 is provided with an inner hole 28. The inner diameter of the inner hole 28 is larger than the outer wall diameter of the limiting column 19. The inside of the feedback box 2 is fixedly connected to the support frame 21.

The side wall of the reset plate 10 is fixedly connected to the warning light switch 31. The pressing block 30 is in contact with the warning light switch 31.When the monitoring feedback mechanism is in use, the driver's hand will first contact the electrode sheet 5 when holding the grip area 4. When the human body's physiological activities such as heartbeat, muscle contraction, etc. generate electrical signals, these signals will be transmitted to the grip area 4 through the skin. Different physiological activities will produce different electrical signal frequencies and amplitudes. Therefore, different physiological parameters can be monitored through the grip area 4. When the driver is tired or the heart beats too fast, the grip area 4 will transmit the bioelectric signal to the data control module 6. After the data control module 6 analyzes the result, it will send a signal to the servo motor 13. At this time, the servo motor 13 runs to drive the rotating push plate 14 to rotate. When the rotating push plate 14 rotates, it will push the push column 12, and the push column 12 drives the semi-automatic control unit 11 to rotate. The gear 8 rotates, and when the half gear 8 rotates, the torsion spring 9 on the shaft of the half gear 8 is squeezed. At this time, the half gear 8 will drive the first gear 15 to rotate. When the first gear 15 rotates, it will drive the second gear 16 to rotate. The second gear 16 will drive the third gear 17 to rotate. The third gear 17 will drive the rotating support plate 18 to rotate, and then the rotating support plate 18 drives the limiting column 19 to rotate. At this time, the limiting column 19 will drive the knocking block 20 to rotate in a circle and generate centrifugal force, so that the side wall of the knocking block 20 can knock the bell 22. When knocking, due to the large diameter of the inner wall of the inner hole 28, the knocking block 20 will rebound in the direction of the third gear 17 when it contacts the bell 22, and then the rotating support plate 18 will rotate to generate the centrifugal force. The centrifugal force will move outward and rotate in a circle, thereby emitting an alarm sound to remind the driver. At the same time, the rotation of the half gear 8 will drive the pressing block 30 to rotate. When the pressing block 30 rotates, the warning light switch 31 will be pressed. The warning light switch 31 and the reminder light 7 are electrically connected. When the warning light switch 31 is pressed, the reminder light 7 will emit a light. When the half gear 8 drives the pressing block 30 to press the warning light switch 31 again, the light will be turned off. Through the repeated rotation of the half gear 8, the reminder light 7 will continue to flash, thereby reminding the driver to take necessary measures in the early stage of the problem, such as slowing down and stopping, seeking help, etc. The driver's health is monitored by the electrode sheet 5 in the monitoring feedback mechanism. After monitoring The bioelectric signal is transmitted to the data control module 6. After the data control module 6 analyzes the result, it sends a signal to the servo motor 13 to drive the knocking block 20 to rotate and knock the bell 22, thereby achieving sound feedback. At the same time, when the half gear 8 rotates, it will drive the pressing block 30 to start the reminder light 7, thereby emitting a bright light, further achieving the effect of feedback, so that it can effectively remind the driver and avoid the driver from being tired and drowsy during long-term driving. When the visual and tactile signals cannot be effectively conveyed, the sound feedback can provide additional safety protection and quickly attract the driver's attention, so as to remind the driver to take necessary measures in the early stage of the problem, thereby reducing the potential risk of traffic accidents. ;

[0022] For further information, see Attachment Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the anti-skid component includes an inner lining buffer layer 23 fixedly connected to the outer wall of the steering wheel 1, the outer wall of the inner lining buffer layer 23 is fixedly connected to the antibacterial layer 24, the outer wall of the antibacterial layer 24 is fixedly connected to the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25, the outer wall of the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 is fixedly connected to the anti-skid silicone layer 26, the outer wall of the anti-skid silicone layer 26 is provided with a plurality of equidistant and evenly distributed sweat-absorbing holes 27, the interior of the sweat-absorbing holes 27 is interconnected with the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25; when the driver's hands sweat, it will cause the hands to slip when holding the steering wheel, because the anti-skid silicone layer 26 is a high friction material, and the anti-skid silicone The surface of the layer 26 is also provided with sweat-absorbing holes 27 to further improve the friction. At the same time, sweat will enter the sweat-absorbing holes 27, so that the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 can absorb the hand sweat, keep the hand dry when holding the steering wheel 1 to prevent slipping, and the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 is soft and breathable. When the hand holds it, the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 and the anti-slip silicone layer 26 will be squeezed. The wet air mixed with sweat squeezed by the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 and the anti-slip silicone layer 26 will be discharged from the sweat-absorbing holes 27, thereby improving the air circulation inside the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25, accelerating the evaporation of sweat, ensuring the continuous dryness of the steering wheel, and then through the antibacterial Layer 24 has silver ions or copper ions embedded inside, which has a highly effective antibacterial effect. When in contact with bacteria, silver ions will penetrate the cell wall of bacteria and combine with proteins, thereby destroying the normal metabolism of cells and inhibiting the reproduction of bacteria. Silver ions can also destroy the DNA of bacteria, making them unable to regenerate, effectively reducing the spread of bacteria and microorganisms during driving. The inner lining buffer layer 23 is made of high-density foam or soft rubber material, which provides a buffering effect, ensures comfortable grip, reduces hand pressure, and buffers body vibration, especially on long-term driving or bumpy roads. Driving comfort is improved. The anti-slip silicone layer 26, the sweat-absorbing holes 27 and the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 in the anti-slip mechanism can absorb sweat from the hands, keep the hands dry when holding the steering wheel 1, and prevent slipping. The sweat-absorbing foam layer 25 is soft and breathable, thereby improving air circulation inside the sweat-absorbing foam layer 25, accelerating the evaporation of sweat, and further ensuring the continuous dryness of the steering wheel, thereby avoiding the problem that the driver's hands are prone to sweating in hot weather or when driving for a long time, resulting in reduced friction when holding the steering wheel, increasing the driver's unstable grip, and then causing the risk of hand slipping.
