Decorative parts. Detailed Implementation

[0038] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, describes a steering wheel assembly according to an embodiment of the present invention, including a main body 1 and a mounting part 2. The main body 1 is connectable to a first connecting component 3, and the mounting part 2 is connected to a second connecting component 4. The first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 are detachably connected, so that the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 are detachably connected.

[0040] In related technologies, the shape of a vehicle's steering wheel is designed and installed by the manufacturer and cannot be changed by the user, failing to meet the personalized needs of different users. Therefore, in the above embodiment, the steering wheel is composed of a main body 1 and a mounting part 2. The main body 1 is suitable for connection to the steering column of the steering system or a steer-by-wire system. The first connecting component 3 is fixedly connected to the main body 1, and the second connecting component 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting part 2. This design allows for quick disassembly of the mounting part 2 and the main body 1, making it easy to change the shape of the steering wheel. The mounting part 2 can be detached from the main body 1, making operation convenient and allowing the shape of the steering wheel to be changed according to the mounting part 2. Optionally, the mounting part 2 can be left unconnected to the main body, forming a steering wheel with a notch. Optionally, the first connecting component 3 and the main body 1 can be detachably linked, and the second connecting component 4 and the mounting part 2 can be detachably connected, thereby achieving reuse of the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4. The above method can be used for all vehicles that require a steering wheel, adapting to the modification of conventional two-spoke steering wheels, adapting to more applicable scenarios, and suitable for daily driving and racing scenarios.

[0041] Optionally, the mounting part 2, as a detachable rim of the steering wheel, can have various shapes. The mounting part 2 can be connected to the main body 1 to form a complete steering wheel, such as... Figure 1-8 As shown, the mounting part 2 can be configured as a partially straight line, an arc shape, or any other shape that facilitates turning operations. For example... Figure 1-8 As shown, the main body 1 may not have a detachable rim installed, or it may have only one detachable rim installed at the top or bottom, or it may have detachable rims installed at both the top and bottom. The shapes of the detachable rims installed at different positions may be the same or different. The steering wheel may be designed as round, D-shaped, or semi-circular and semi-D-shaped.

[0042] In some embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a main body 1 frame, the first connecting component 3 is connected to the end of the main body 1 frame, the mounting part 2 is provided with a mounting part 2 frame, and the second connecting component 4 is connected to the mounting part 2 frame.

[0043] In some embodiments, the installation includes multiple installations.

[0044] Specifically, the multiple mounting parts 2 may include two mounting parts 2 of the same shape, and the two mounting parts 2 of the same shape may be mounted on the main body 1 at the same time to form a complete steering wheel.

[0045] In some embodiments, the mounting part 2 is configured as one of an arc shape, a straight-edge C-shape, or a straight-edge circular arc C-shape.

[0046] Specifically, the mounting part 2 can have various shapes, and two mounting parts 2 of the same shape can be provided. The two mounting parts 2 are respectively mounted on the main body 1 and symmetrically arranged relative to the main body 1, thus forming a completely symmetrical steering wheel. Optionally, the shapes of the mounting parts 2 mounted on the main body 1 can also be different, thus forming an asymmetrical steering wheel. Different shapes of mounting parts 2 result in different steering wheel shapes after the mounting parts 2 are mounted on the main body 1. One mounting part 2 can be removed from the main body 1 and replaced with a different shaped mounting part 2 to meet the personalized needs of different users. Optionally, such as... Figure 4 As shown, both mounting parts 2 are arc-shaped and connected to the main body part 1, thus making the steering wheel round; as Figure 1 As shown, one mounting part 2 is configured as a straight-edged arc C-shape, and the other mounting part 2 is configured as an arc shape, thereby forming a D-shape for the steering wheel; as Figure 8 As shown, both mounting parts 2 are designed as straight-edged arc C-shapes, and the reverse disc forms an oblong shape; as Figure 3 As shown, the mounting part 2 is not connected to the main body 1; or as... Figure 2 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a mounting part 2 of a selected shape is mounted on the upper or lower part of the main body 1 to form a semi-open steering wheel.

[0047] Optionally, when the main body 1 of the steering wheel is equipped with one mounting part 2, it includes two mounting positions, that is, each mounting part 2 has a second connecting component 4 at both ends, and the main body 1 is equipped with two first connecting components 3 corresponding to the two second connecting components 4. Optionally, when the main body 1 of the steering wheel is equipped with two mounting parts 2, each mounting part 2 is equipped with two second connecting components 4, then the main body 1 of the steering wheel is equipped with four corresponding first connecting components 3.

[0048] In some implementations, the first connecting component 3 includes a first magnetic component 31, and the second connecting component 4 includes a second magnetic component 41. The first magnetic component 31 and the second magnetic component 41 can be magnetically connected to connect the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1.

[0049] In the above embodiments, such as Figures 9-12As shown, the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 are connected by a first magnetic component 31 and a second magnetic component 41. When the end face of the mounting part 2 and the end face of the main body part 1 are in contact, at least a portion of the first magnetic component 31 and at least a portion of the second magnetic component 41 attract each other through magnetic force, thereby connecting the main body part 1 and the mounting part 2.

[0050] In some embodiments, one of the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 has a first protrusion 42 and the other has a first groove 32. When the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 are connected, the first protrusion 42 is placed in the first groove 32.

[0051] In the above embodiments, a first protrusion 42 is formed on the second connecting component 4, and a first groove 32 is formed on the first connecting component 3. When the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 are connected, the first protrusion 42 and the first groove 32 cooperate with each other, so that the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 will not be misaligned after connection, and the precise positioning of the two is achieved. Optionally, the first groove 32 is formed on the end face of the main body part 1 by the first connecting component 3 and the main body part 1, so that the first groove 32 and the first protrusion 42 have higher strength and more stable cooperation when they cooperate. Optionally, the first protrusion 42 can be formed on the first connecting component 3, and the second protrusion 3111 can be formed on the second connecting component 4.

[0052] In some embodiments, the first magnetic component 31 includes a first movable member 312 and a first magnetic member 311, and the second magnetic component 41 includes a second magnetic member 411. When the first movable member 312 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic member 411, the first movable member 312 is in a second position to connect the mounting portion 2 and the main body portion 1. When the first movable member 312 is magnetically connected to the first magnetic member 311, the first movable member 312 is in a first position to disconnect the mounting portion 2 and the main body portion 1.

[0053] In the above embodiment, the first movable member 312 is made of a metal material that can attract the magnetic component. When the end face of the mounting part 2 is attached to the end face of the main body 1, the first movable member 312 is positioned between the first magnetic component 311 and the second magnetic component 411. When the mounting part 2 needs to be connected to the main body 1, the first movable member 312 can be in a second position under the attraction of the second magnetic component 411. At this time, one end of the first movable member 312 is connected to the second magnetic component 411, and the other end of the first movable member 312 is still connected to other parts of the first magnetic component 31, thereby realizing the connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body 1. Optionally, when it is necessary to remove the mounting part 2 from the main body 1, the first movable member 312 is controlled to connect with the first magnetic component 311, so that the first movable member 312 is in a first position. At this time, the first movable member 312 is disconnected from the second magnetic component 411, thereby disconnecting the mounting part 2 from the main body 1.

[0054] In some embodiments, the first magnetic element 311 is an electromagnet. When the first magnetic element 311 is not energized, the first movable element 312 can be magnetically connected to the second magnetic element 411. When the first magnetic element 311 is energized, the first movable element 312 is connected to the first magnetic element 311.

[0055] In the above implementation, by setting the first magnetic component 311 as an electromagnet and the second magnetic component 411 as a permanent magnet, the magnetic strength of the first magnetic component 311 can be controlled to control whether the first movable component 312 can be attracted by the first magnetic component 311 or the second magnetic component 411. Optionally, when the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 need to be connected, after the end faces of the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 are in contact, the first movable component 312 needs to be connected to the second magnetic component 411. At this time, it is necessary to control the first magnetic component 311 not to attract the first movable component 312. Therefore, the first magnetic component 311 can be de-energized, so that the first movable component 312 can only be attracted by the second magnetic component 411, thereby connecting the main body 1 and the mounting part 2. When the mounting part 2 needs to be disconnected from the main body 1, the first magnetic component 311 is energized. At this time, the first magnetic component 311 generates a stronger magnetic force than the second magnetic component 411, thereby attracting the first movable component 312 to move from the second position to the first position. The first movable component 312 then disconnects from the second magnetic component 411, thus disconnecting the mounting part 2 from the main body 1. Optionally, the first magnetic component 311 is connected to the vehicle's electrical circuit via a wire 313. The energizing switch of the first magnetic component 311 is controlled by the vehicle's central control screen. The central control screen has switch options and a password. Therefore, when energizing or de-energizing the first magnetic component 311, the correct password must be entered to prevent accidental operation and avoid driving safety issues. Optionally, when two mounting parts 2 need to be connected to the main body 1, two sets of switches are required to control the on / off state of the first magnetic component 311 corresponding to different mounting parts 2.

[0056] In some implementations, a detection circuit is provided at the end of the first movable member 312 away from the first magnetic member 311, and a detection circuit is provided on the surface of the second magnetic member 411. When the first movable member 312 and the second magnetic member 411 are magnetically connected, the detection circuit will send a signal to the vehicle's infotainment system, and the infotainment system will display a connection success message and a light prompt.

[0057] In some implementations, a detection circuit is provided at the end of the first magnetic component 311 near the first movable component 312, and a detection circuit is provided at the end of the second movable component 44 near the first magnetic component 311. When the first movable component 312 is connected to the first magnetic component 311, a message indicating that the installation part 2 has been disconnected and a light prompt are sent to the vehicle's infotainment system.

[0058] In some implementations, one of the first magnetic member 311 and the first movable member 312 is provided with a second protrusion 3111 and the other is provided with a second groove 3121. When the first movable member 312 is magnetically connected to the first magnetic member 311, the second protrusion 3111 is placed in the second groove 3121.

[0059] In the above implementation, such as Figure 12 As shown, a second groove 3121 can be provided on the first movable member 312, and a second protrusion 3111 can be provided on the first magnetic member 311. When the first movable member 312 is connected to the first magnetic member 311, the second protrusion 3111 and the second groove 3121 can make the connection between the first movable member 312 and the first magnetic member 311 more stable and prevent displacement. Optionally, the second protrusion 3111 can be provided on the first movable member 312, and the second groove 3121 can be provided on the first magnetic member 311.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a first fixing member 33, which is fixedly connected to the main body 1. The first fixing member 33 forms a first receiving cavity 331. The first movable member 312 includes a first part. When the first movable member 312 is in the first position, the first movable member 312 is completely placed in the first receiving cavity 331. When the first movable member 312 is in the second position, the first part of the first movable member 312 is placed in the first receiving cavity 331.

[0061] In the above implementation, such as Figure 12 As shown, the first fixing member 33 is connected to the end of the frame of the main body 1. The first fixing member 33 is made of specially treated stainless steel, other alloys, or other non-magnetic materials. Optionally, the first fixing member 33 is connected to the frame of the main body 1 by threads. The first receiving cavity 331 formed by the first fixing member 33 is used to receive at least a portion of the first movable member 312. That is, regardless of whether the first movable member 312 is in the first position or the second position, the first portion of the first movable member 312 is placed in the first receiving cavity 331, so that the first movable member 312 never detaches from the first connecting assembly 3. After the mounting part 2 is connected to the main body 1, the first movable member 312 is connected to the second magnetic member 411. At this time, the first portion of the first movable member 312 is placed in the first receiving cavity 331, and the remaining portion is not placed in the first receiving cavity 331. The setting of the first receiving cavity 331 allows the first movable member 312 to move relative to the first fixing member 33, thereby changing its position to realize the connection and disassembly of the mounting part 2 and the main body 1. During the connection and disassembly of the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1, the first movable part 312 can slide along the axial direction of the first receiving cavity 331.

[0062] Optionally, the first magnetic element 311 and the first fixing element 33 are connected by threads.

[0063] In some implementations, the second connecting assembly 4 further includes a second fixing member 43, which forms a second receiving cavity 431. The first movable member 312 includes a second portion, which is placed in the second receiving cavity 431 when the first movable member 312 is in the second position so that the first movable member 312 is magnetically connected to the second magnetic member 411.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the second fixing member 43 is made of specially treated stainless steel, other alloys, or other non-magnetic materials. The second fixing member 43 is connected to the end of the frame of the mounting part 2, and the second fixing member 43 can be threaded to the end of the frame of the mounting part 2. The second receiving cavity 431 can be used to accommodate the second part of the first movable member 312. When the first movable member 312 is in the second position, the mounting part 2 is connected to the main body 1. At this time, the second part of the first movable member 312 is placed in the second receiving cavity 431, and the first part of the first movable member 312 is placed in the first receiving cavity 331. The second part and the first part together form the complete first movable member 312. During the connection and disassembly of the mounting part 2 and the main body 1, the first movable member 312 can slide along the axial direction of the second receiving cavity 431.

[0065] Optionally, the second magnetic element 411 and the second fixing element 43 are connected by threads.

[0066] Optionally, the first movable member 312, the first receiving cavity 331, and the second receiving cavity 431 are all configured such that the cross-section along the direction perpendicular to the axis is circular.

[0067] In some embodiments, in the direction from the first position of the first movable member 312 to the second position, the inner diameter of the first receiving cavity 331 gradually decreases.

[0068] In the above embodiment, the inner diameter of the first receiving cavity 331 is not uniform. Correspondingly, the diameter of the first movable member 312 gradually decreases in the direction away from the first magnetic member 311, so that when the mounting part 2 is connected to the main body part 1, the first part of the first magnetic member 311 can fit better with the inner wall of the first receiving cavity 331.

[0069] In some embodiments, in the direction from the first position of the first movable member 312 to the second position, the inner diameter of the second receiving cavity 431 gradually decreases.

[0070] In the above embodiment, the diameter of the second receiving cavity 431 also gradually changes, so that when the second part of the first movable member 312 is placed in the second receiving cavity 431, the outer wall of the second part of the first movable member 312 fits against the inner wall of the second receiving cavity 431.

[0071] The diameter settings of the first receiving cavity 331 and the second receiving cavity 431 allow the first movable member 312 to fit better with the first receiving cavity 331 and the second receiving cavity 431 when it is in at least the second position, thereby preventing the first movable member 312 from shaking in the first receiving cavity 331 and the second receiving cavity 431 and enhancing the stability of the connection.

[0072] In some implementations, such as Figure 13-14 As shown, a decorative element 5 is also provided. The decorative element 5 is used to connect to the main body 1 when the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 are not connected, thereby achieving the functions of aesthetics and dust prevention. Optionally, a permanent magnet is connected to the decorative element 5, and the decorative element 5 can be connected to the first movable member 312 through the permanent magnet. The permanent magnet of the decorative element 5 is provided with a protrusion, so that when the decorative element 5 is connected to the main body 1, the protrusion can cooperate with the first groove 32 on the main body 1, increasing the stability of the connection.

[0073] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 includes a first fixing member 33, which is fixedly connected to the main body 1. The second connecting component 4 includes a second fixing member 43, which is fixedly connected to the mounting part 2. The first fixing member 33 and the second fixing member 43 are detachably connected so that the main body 1 and the mounting part 2 are detachably connected. One of the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 is provided with a guide surface 332. During the connection process of the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4, the other of the first connecting component 3 and the second connecting component 4 moves along the guide surface 332. On the projection of a plane perpendicular to the steering wheel axis, the guide surface 332 intersects the tangent of the outer periphery of the end of the main body 1 where the first connecting component 3 is mounted.

[0074] In the above embodiments, such as Figures 15-18As shown, the first fixing member 33 is fixedly connected to the frame of the main body 1, and the second fixing member 43 is fixedly connected to the frame of the mounting part 2. By providing a detachable connection between the first and second fixing members, a detachable connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 is achieved. The guide surface 332 serves to guide and position the mounting part during the connection process between the first and second fixing members. Optionally, for a mounting part 2, each mounting part 2 has a second connecting component 4 at both ends, while the main body 1 has two first connecting components 3 corresponding to the two second connecting components 4. Therefore, when the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 approach each other, the relative movement direction of the first connecting components 3 and the second connecting components 4 cannot coincide with the tangent of the outer periphery of the end of the main body 1 where the first connecting component 3 is mounted, which would cause installation difficulties. In the above configuration, the mounting part 2 and the main body 1 can be installed more easily. Optionally, when the main body 1 and the mounting part 2 are installed together, the ends of the main body 1 and the mounting part 2 are smoothly connected. Therefore, the tangent of the outer periphery of any position of the end of the main body 1 where the first connecting component 3 is installed is in the same direction as the tangent of the outer periphery of the corresponding position of the end of the mounting part 2 where the second connecting component 4 is installed.

[0075] Optionally, the first fastener 33 is connected to the main body 1 frame by a pin. The main body 1 frame has a protrusion that mates with the first fastener 33, and the first fastener 33 has a recess corresponding to the protrusion of the main body 1 frame. When the protrusion is placed in the recess, the pin passes through the pin holes on the main body 1 frame and the first fastener 33, thereby connecting the first fastener 33 to the main body 1 frame. Optionally, the second fastener 43 is connected to the mounting part 2 frame by a pin. The mounting part 2 frame has a protrusion that mates with the second fastener 43, and the second fastener 43 has a recess corresponding to the protrusion of the mounting part 2 frame. When the protrusion is placed in the recess, the pin passes through the pin holes on the mounting part 2 frame and the second fastener 43, thereby connecting the second fastener 43 to the mounting part 2 frame.

[0076] Optionally, the first fastener 33 is made of metal. Optionally, the second fastener 43 is made of metal.

[0077] In some implementations, the second connecting assembly 4 further includes a second movable member 44, which is connected to and movable relative to the second fixed member 43. A first through hole 333 is formed on the first fixed member 33, and a portion of the second movable member 44 can be placed within the first through hole 333 to connect the first fixed member 33 and the second fixed member 43. In the projection onto a plane perpendicular to the steering wheel axis, the angle between the axial direction of the first through hole 333 and the tangential direction of the outer periphery of the end of the main body 1 where the first connecting assembly 3 is mounted is greater than or equal to 45° and less than or equal to 90°. Figure 18 As shown.

[0078] In the above implementation, the second movable member 44 is connected to the second fixed member 43. When the mounting part 2 is connected to the main body part 1, the ends of the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 gradually approach each other, and the second movable member 44 gradually enters the first through hole 333. After the end faces of the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 are in contact, a portion of the second movable member 44 is placed inside the first through hole 333. When a portion of the second movable member 44 is placed inside the first through hole 333, due to the aforementioned orientation of the first through hole 333, the portion of the second movable member 44 placed inside the first through hole 333 will not slide out of the first through hole 333 during normal use of the steering wheel, and the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 can be stably connected. Optionally, in Figure 18 In the diagram, the area between the two dashed lines represents the range along the axis of the first through hole 333.

[0079] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 33 is formed with a first receiving groove 334, the second fixing member 43 includes a protrusion 432 protruding from the end face of the mounting part 2, the second movable member 44 is connected to the protrusion 432, and the outer wall of the protrusion 432 can fit against the inner wall of the first receiving groove 334 so that a part of the second movable member 44 is placed in the first through hole 333.

[0080] In the above implementation, when the protrusion 432 of the first receiving groove 334 and the second fixing member 43 is placed in the first receiving groove 334, the end face of the mounting part 2 and the end face of the main body part 1 can fit together. This arrangement allows the outer periphery of the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1 to transition continuously after they are connected, and the fixing member will not be exposed.

[0081] In some embodiments, the second fixing member 43 is formed with a second receiving groove 433 for receiving the second movable member 44, and the second movable member 44 is formed with a limiting portion for limiting the second movable member 44 from being completely dislodged from the second receiving groove 433.

[0082] In the above embodiment, before or after the mounting part 2 is installed with the main body part 1, a portion of the second movable member 44 is positioned outside the second receiving groove 433. An opening of the second receiving groove 433 is formed on the second fixing member 43. A portion of the second movable member 44 passes through and protrudes from the opening of the second receiving groove 433. The limiting portion formed on the second movable member 44 has a dimension in the radial direction of the second movable member 44 that is larger than the diameter of the opening of the second receiving groove 433, thereby preventing the second movable member from dislodging from the second receiving groove 433.

[0083] In some embodiments, the inner wall of the second receiving groove 433 on the side away from the first through hole 333 is formed with a guide surface 332.

[0084] In some embodiments, the second connecting component 4 further includes a first elastic member 45, one end of which is connected to the second movable member 44 and the other end of which is connected to the second fixing member 43. The first elastic member 45 can be compressed to disengage a portion of the second movable member 44 from the first through hole 333.

[0085] In the above implementation, the first elastic member 45 can apply elastic force to the second movable member 44. Specifically, when the protrusion 432 of the second fixing member 43 gradually enters the first receiving groove 334, the end of the second movable member 44 located outside the second receiving groove 433 first begins to fit against the inner wall of the first receiving groove 334. After the protrusion 432 of the second fixing member 43 further enters the first receiving groove 334, the first elastic member 45 begins to be compressed until the outer surface of the protrusion 432 of the second fixing member 43 is completely fitted against the inner wall of the second receiving groove 433. Then, part of the second movable member 44 enters the first through hole 333 under the elastic force of the elastic member. Optionally, when it is necessary to disassemble the mounting part 2 from the main body 1, pressure is applied to the second movable member 44 from the end of the first through hole 333 away from the first receiving groove 334 using a tool to compress the first elastic member 45 until part of the second movable member 44 comes out of the first through hole 333, thereby separating the mounting part 2 from the main body 1.

[0086] Optionally, the first elastic element 45 is a spring, which is sleeved on the second movable element 44.

[0087] In some embodiments, on the projection of a plane perpendicular to the steering wheel axis, and in the normal direction of the tangential direction of the outer periphery of the end where the first connecting component 3 is mounted on the main body 1, the size of the protrusion 432 near the mounting portion 2 is greater than or equal to the total size of the second movable member 44 and the second fixed member 43 at the location of the second movable member 44.

[0088] In some embodiments, the size of the protrusion 432 near the mounting portion 2 is equal to the size of the opening of the second receiving groove 433. Therefore, with the above arrangement, it can be ensured that when the protrusion 432 of the second fixing portion gradually enters the first receiving groove 334, the second movable member 44 can also smoothly enter the first receiving groove 334.

[0089] In some embodiments, the main body 1 is provided with a second through hole 11, which is coaxially arranged with and communicates with the first through hole 333.

[0090] In the above implementation, the second through hole 11 is connected to the first through hole 333. The second through hole 11 is provided on the main body 1. When it is necessary to remove the mounting part 2 from the main body 1, a tool can be inserted into the second through hole 11 so that one end of the tool contacts the second movable part 44, thereby applying pressure to the second movable part 44 and causing part of the second movable part 44 to come out of the first through hole 333.

[0091] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the first through hole 333 near the end of the first receiving groove 334 is larger than the inner diameter of the end of the first through hole 333 away from the first receiving groove 334. When a portion of the second movable member 44 is placed in the first through hole 333, the outer wall of the portion of the second movable member 44 is in contact with the inner wall of the first through hole 333.

[0092] Specifically, the above-mentioned arrangement allows the second movable part 44 to fit better against the inner wall of the first through hole 333, thus preventing the second movable part 44 from shaking within the first through hole 333 and increasing the stability of the connection.

[0093] In some embodiments, a cover 12 is also included, which is connected to the main body 1 and is used to cover the opening of the second through hole 11 away from the first through hole 333.

[0094] Optionally, the cover 12 is used to cover the second through hole 11 without applying external force to the second movable member 44, serving both aesthetic and dustproof purposes.

[0095] In some embodiments, such as Figures 19-20 As shown, it also includes a decorative part, which is connected to the same structure as the second fixing member 43 mentioned above. The second fixing member 43 is connected to the same structure and elastic member as the second movable member 44 mentioned above, so that when the mounting part 2 is not installed on the main body part 1, the decorative part can be installed on the main body part 1 to achieve the functions of dust prevention and aesthetics.

[0096] In some embodiments, the first fixing member 33 is provided with a third groove 335, and the second fixing member 43 is provided with a third protrusion 435. The third protrusion 435 can be placed in the third groove 335 to connect the first fixing member 33 and the second fixing member 43.

[0097] In the above embodiments, such as Figure 21 and Figure 26 As shown, when the end face of the mounting part 2 is in contact with the end face of the main body part 1, the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335, thereby connecting the third protrusion 435 and the third groove 335 through a connecting structure, thus realizing the connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1. Optionally, the main body part 1 is provided with a main body part 1 frame, and the first fixing member 33 is connected to the main body part 1 frame; the mounting part 2 is provided with a mounting part 2 frame, and the second fixing member 43 is connected to the mounting part 2 frame. Optionally, the main body part 1 is provided with a main body part 1 frame, and the first fixing member 33 is integrally formed with the main body part 1 frame; the mounting part 2 is provided with a mounting part 2 frame, and the second fixing member 43 is integrally formed with the mounting part 2 frame.

[0098] Optionally, the sidewall of the third groove 335 is a guide surface 332, used to guide the movement direction of the third protrusion 435 when it is installed into the third groove 335.

[0099] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes at least one set of movable components 34, which are movable relative to the first fixing member 33. The second fixing member 43 is provided with a fourth groove 434. When the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335, a portion of the movable component 34 can be placed in the fourth groove 434 to connect the first fixing member 33 and the second fixing member 43.

[0100] Specifically, such as Figure 22 As shown, the movable component 34 is configured as at least one metal sphere of a certain size, which can move relative to the first fixing member 33. When the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335, part of the metal sphere is placed in the fourth groove 434, thereby preventing the first fixing member 33 from being disassembled from the second fixing member 43 after the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335. Optionally, the movable component 34 can be configured as two metal spheres of the same size arranged radially along the first fixing member 33. Optionally, the movable component 34 can also be made of other materials.

[0101] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a second elastic member 35, which is placed in a third groove 335. One end of the second elastic member 35 is connected to the bottom wall of the third groove 335. When the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335, the second elastic member 35 is compressed by the third protrusion 435.

[0102] Specifically, when the mounting part 2 is connected to the main body 1, the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335 and compresses the second elastic member 35, at which time the second elastic member 35 stores force. When it is necessary to remove the mounting part 2 from the main body 1, part of the control movable component 34 disengages from the fourth groove 434, at which time the second elastic member 35 uses its elastic force to push the third protrusion 435 out of the third groove 335, thereby disconnecting the mounting part 2 from the main body 1. Optionally, the second elastic member 35 is set as a spring.

[0103] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a gasket 36, which is connected to the other end of the second elastic member 35.

[0104] Specifically, such as Figure 26-27As shown, the gasket 36 is connected to the end of the second elastic member 35 away from the bottom wall of the third groove 335. When the third protrusion 435 is placed in the third groove 335, the third protrusion 435 is connected to the gasket 36, and the gasket 36 moves as the second elastic member 35 is compressed. The arrangement of the gasket 36 increases the contact area between the third protrusion 435 and the gasket 36 when the third protrusion 435 applies pressure to the second elastic member 35, making the pressure applied by the third protrusion 435 to the second elastic member 35 more uniform.

[0105] In some embodiments, the first fastener 33 is provided with at least one third through hole 336 for receiving a movable component 34. Each third through hole 336 receives a set of movable components 34. The movable components 34 can move along the axial direction of the third through hole 336 toward the third groove 335 so that a portion of the movable component 34 can be dislodged from the third through hole 336 and placed in the fourth groove 434.

[0106] Specifically, the axial direction of the third through hole 336 coincides with the radial direction of the first fixing member 33. As the third protrusion 435 gradually enters the third groove 335, the structure of the fourth groove 434 also gradually moves into the third groove 335 along with the third protrusion 435, until the projection of the fourth groove 434 on the radial direction of the first fixing member 33 coincides with the projection of the movable component 34. At this time, part of the movable component 34 moves toward the fourth groove 434 and is placed in the fourth groove 434, so that the movable component 34 and the fourth groove 434 cooperate to stably lock the third protrusion 435 in the third groove 335, thereby realizing a stable connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1.

[0107] Optionally, multiple third through holes 336 are provided, each third through hole 336 accommodating a set of movable components 34, and the multiple third through holes 336 are spaced apart circumferentially along the first fixing member 33.

[0108] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a third movable member 37, which is movably connected to the first fixing member 33. The third movable member 37 can switch between a first position and a second position. When the third movable member 37 is in the first position, the third movable member 37 is engaged with the opening of the third through hole 336 away from the third groove 335, so that a portion of the movable component 34 can be disengaged from the third through hole 336. When the third movable member 37 is in the second position, the third movable member 37 is disengaged from the opening of the third through hole 336 away from the third groove 335, so that a portion of the movable component 34 can be disengaged from the fourth groove 434.

[0109] Specifically, the third movable member 37 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first fixed member 33, and the third movable member 37 can switch between a first position and a second position along the axial direction of the first fixed member 33. When the third movable member 37 is in the second position, the portion of the movable component 34 that is away from the third groove 335 is placed outside the third through hole 336. When the third movable member 37 switches from the second position to the first position, the third movable member 37 applies pressure to the portion of the movable component 34 that is placed outside the third through hole 336, causing the movable component 34 to move along the axis of the third through hole 336 toward the third groove 335 until the third movable member 37 fits against the opening of the third through hole 336 that is away from the third groove 335, so that the portion of the movable component 34 is placed in the fourth groove 434, thereby realizing the connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body part 1. When it is necessary to remove the mounting part 2 from the main body 1, the user pushes or the motor drives the third movable member 37 to move from the first position to the second position. At this time, the third movable member 37 does not apply force to the movable component 34, and the third protrusion 435 is dislodged from the third groove 335 under the action of the second elastic member 35. At the same time, part of the movable component 34 is dislodged from the fourth groove 434, thereby realizing the connection between the mounting part 2 and the main body.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 26-27 As shown, the inner wall of the fourth groove 434 is arc-shaped.

[0111] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the third through hole 336 facing the third groove 335 is smaller than the maximum size of the movable component 34.

[0112] With the above settings, the movable component 34 can only be partially dislodged from the end of the third through hole 336 toward the third groove 335, without the movable component 34 being completely inserted into the third groove 335.

[0113] In some embodiments, the inner diameter of the end of the third through hole 336 away from the third groove 335 is greater than or equal to the maximum size of the movable component 34, so that the movable component 34 can enter the third through hole 336 through the end of the third through hole 336 away from the third groove 335.

[0114] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a third elastic member 38, one end of which is connected to the first fixing member 33, and the other end of which is connected to the third movable member 37. When the third movable member 37 is in the second position, the third elastic member 38 is compressed so that the third movable member 37 can switch from the second position to the first position under the elastic force of the third elastic member 38.

[0115] Optionally, the third elastic member 38 is configured as a spring, and is sleeved on the outer periphery of the first fixing member 33. A portion of the third movable member 37 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third elastic member 38. The first position of the third movable member 37 is closer to the end of the first fixing member 33 than the second position. Therefore, when it is necessary to connect the mounting part 2 to the main body part 1, the third movable member 37 needs to be pushed from the first position to the second position, at which time the third elastic member 38 is compressed to store force. When no pushing force is applied to the third movable member 37, the third movable member 37 moves from the second position to the first position under the action of the third elastic member 38.

[0116] Optional, such as Figure 26 As shown, the distance between the first position and the second position of the third movable part 37 is L2.

[0117] In some embodiments, when the third movable member 37 is in any position, the third movable member 37 and the first fixed member 33 are engaged and connected by key teeth 46, wherein the length of key teeth 46 is greater than the distance between the first position and the second position of the third movable member 37.

[0118] Specifically, the first fixing member 33 is provided with a set of first key teeth 46 arranged circumferentially on the first fixing member 33, and the end of the third movable member 37 away from the end of the main body 1 is provided with a set of second key teeth 46 arranged circumferentially on the third movable member 37. The first key teeth 46 and the second key teeth 46 engage. When the third movable member 37 is in the second position, the first key teeth 46 and the second key teeth 46 are fully engaged, with no gap between them. When the third movable member 37 is in the first position, there is a gap between the first key teeth 46 and the second key teeth 46, but the first key teeth and the second key teeth are still engaged and connected, that is, the first key teeth are in the groove formed by two adjacent second key teeth, and the second key teeth are in the groove formed by two adjacent first key teeth. Therefore, the lengths of the first key teeth 46 and the second key teeth 46 are greater than L2, so that when the third movable member 37 reciprocates between the first position and the second position, the first key teeth and the second key teeth do not disengage, thereby preventing mutual rotation between the third movable member and the main body that would cause circumferential displacement of the third movable member.

[0119] In some embodiments, the first connecting component 3 further includes a limiting member 39, which is connected to the first fixing member 33 and is used to restrict the third movable member 37 from being disconnected from the first fixing member 33.

[0120] Specifically, the limiting member 39 is arranged circumferentially along the first fixing member 33. On the axial projection of the first fixing member 33, part of the third movable member 37 can coincide with the limiting member 39, thereby limiting the first fixing member 33 by the limiting member 39 and preventing the third limiting member 39 from disengaging from the first fixing member 33.

[0121] Optionally, the limiting member 39 can be configured as an elastic limiting member 39. The elastic limiting member 39 can be configured as a snap ring, which can be snapped onto the first fixing member 33 or removed from the first fixing member 33.

[0122] In some embodiments, a sleeve portion 30 is also included, one end of which is connected to the main body portion 1, and a portion of the sleeve portion 30 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the third movable member 37.

[0123] Specifically, the end of the sleeve part 30 away from the end of the main body part 1 is connected to the main body part 1. When it is necessary to push the third movable part, a force can be applied directly to the sleeve part 30, so that the third movable part moves under the drive of the sleeve part 30. When the third movable member 37 moves back and forth between the first position and the second position, the sleeve part 30 undergoes elastic deformation, so that the sleeve part 30 is always connected to the main body part 1.

[0124] Optionally, the sleeve 30 may be made of rubber, thereby achieving both aesthetic appeal and protection and dust prevention for the components within the sleeve 30. Alternatively, the sleeve 30 may also be made of elastic plastic.

[0125] Optionally, the outer periphery of the third movable member 37 is provided with an anti-slip structure. Optionally, the anti-slip structure is configured as multiple grooves arranged along the axial direction of the third movable member 37. By providing the anti-slip structure, the sleeve portion 30 can drive the third movable member 37 to move.

[0126] like Figures 28-30 As shown in the above embodiments, the steering wheel can be designed as a circle, a D-shape, or a semi-circular and semi-D-shape.

[0127] A vehicle including a steering wheel assembly as described above.

[0128] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.

[0129] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated.
