Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of steering wheel assemblies, and in particular relates to a two-spoke steering wheel assembly and a vehicle. Background Art

[0002] The steering wheel is an essential part of the car. During its design and development, the following problems need to be solved:

[0003] 1. Layout space and weight issues:

[0004] In the prior art, the steering wheel bottom cover is mostly made of foam material. This structure determines that the bottom cover is heavy, the bottom cover is thicker and needs to occupy more internal space. In the foaming process, the foaming inlet is at the lower side of the handle ring. Since the thickness of the second foaming layer of the handle ring is small, it will affect the flow rate of the foaming material, which is easy to cause surface defects such as pores on the foam bottom cover. For light-colored bottom covers, it is easy to have unqualified light resistance. In addition, the decorative cover is connected to the bottom cover through multiple hooks, which makes it difficult to completely disassemble the decorative cover and switch, increasing maintenance costs.

[0005] 2. Fixing of switches and wiring harnesses:

[0006] In the design of the steering wheel, it is necessary to avoid the switch harness being pulled out during the actual vehicle assembly, which may cause the switch harness to interfere with the airbag and affect the horn function, or the switch harness to be clamped after the airbag is assembled, causing damage to the harness. In the prior art, the switch harness root is fixed with a rolled belt or a cable tie with a hook, which increases the cost; and some car steering wheels use a harness slot, which is costly and increases the assembly time.

[0007] 3. Abnormal sound problem:

[0008] In the prior art, the switch is fixed to the decorative cover by multiple self-tapping screws, and then assembled to the steering wheel foam by multiple hooks. This structure has a movable clamping structure, and the pressing switch is prone to floating and abnormal noise.

[0009] 4. Problems with exposed screw holes and airbag removal holes:

[0010] The screw holes (fastening switches and trim covers) at the rear of some steering wheels are close to the wheel rim, which is easy for the driver to touch, affecting the operating quality. The airbag removal holes of some steering wheels are located at the lower left and right sides, which is easy for the driver to see, affecting the appearance quality.

[0011] 5. Steering wheel disassembly:

[0012] Some steering wheels are not designed for removing the steering wheel structure, resulting in the steering wheel being unable to be removed after assembly on the actual vehicle.
