Abstract

The present invention discloses an intelligent steering wheel with automatic memory recovery in the field of steering wheel technology, including a steering wheel, a rotating shaft fixedly connected to the bottom of the steering wheel, and a connecting column fixedly connected through the top outer wall of the rotating shaft. By integrating intelligent components such as a facial recognition camera, an audio transceiver, and a stepping electric push rod, the facial recognition camera can recognize the identity of the driver and automatically adjust the parameters such as the angle, height, and inclination of the steering wheel to adapt to the driving habits of different drivers. The steering wheel can memorize the preferred settings of each driver, and when the same driver uses it again, the steering wheel will automatically return to the previously set parameters. When the driver leaves the vehicle, the steering wheel will automatically return to the preset initial position, which is convenient for the next driver to use or save space. Through intelligent adjustment, the steering wheel can provide better driving posture and comfort, reduce driving fatigue, and improve driving safety.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steering wheels, in particular to an intelligent steering wheel with automatic memory function. Background Art

[0002] The original car was driven by a rudder. The violent vibrations generated by the car were transmitted to the driver, making it more difficult for him to control the direction. When the engine was installed in the front of the car, the driver could no longer use the rudder to steer the car due to the increase in weight. The new design of the steering wheel came into being. The gear system introduced between the driver and the wheel is flexible in operation and well isolates the violent vibrations from the road. Not only that, a better steering wheel system can also give the driver a feeling of intimacy with the road.

[0003] However, most traditional steering wheel designs lack intelligent functions and cannot be personalized according to the driver's habits. As a result, when the vehicle changes drivers, the height and angle of the steering wheel need to be adjusted, which affects the driving experience and cannot automatically return to the preset position when the driver leaves. Summary of the invention

[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide an intelligent steering wheel with automatic memory function to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.

[0041] Voice interaction and setting adjustment: The driver can interact with the intelligent control module through voice through the audio transceiver 2 to adjust the steering wheel preference settings or query the vehicle status at any time.

[0042] The working principle of the present invention is:

[0043] Identity recognition and memory recovery: When the driver gets into the car, the facial recognition camera 3 recognizes the driver's identity. The intelligent control module retrieves the driver's previously set steering wheel preference settings such as height, front and rear tilt angle, and left and right tilt angle from the memory based on the recognition result.

[0044] Height adjustment: The intelligent control module controls the lifting electric push rod 45 to extend and retract according to the set steering wheel height, thereby adjusting the height of the steering wheel.

[0045] Front and rear tilt adjustment: The intelligent control module controls the stepping electric push rods 7 connected to both sides of the control block 6 to extend and retract according to the set front and rear tilt angle, thereby adjusting the front and rear tilt angle of the steering wheel.

[0046] Left and right tilt adjustment: The intelligent control module pushes the limit plate 10 to rotate around the rotation axis 12 through the stepping electric push rod 7 according to the set left and right tilt angle, thereby driving the rotating plate 8 and the connecting control block 6 to adjust the left and right tilt.

[0047] Voice interaction: The driver can interact with the intelligent control module through voice through the audio transceiver 2, such as adjusting steering wheel preference settings, querying vehicle status, etc.
