[0030] The utility model provides a steering wheel angle meter, aiming to solve the problems of poor centering accuracy, long time consumption and poor safety existing in the prior art.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a steering wheel angle meter includes a locking bracket 100, an angle meter body 200 and a control handle 300, the locking bracket 100 includes a locking member 110 and a driving member 120 connected to the locking member 110, the driving member 120 is used to drive the locking member 110 to abut against the inner side of the steering wheel, and a side of the driving member 120 is provided with an avoidance space 121 corresponding to the nut position of the steering wheel; the angle meter body 200 is arranged on a side of the driving member 120 away from the avoidance space 121; the control handle 300 is arranged on the locking member 110, and the control handle 300 is provided with a wireless control button 310 for controlling the start and stop of the four-wheel alignment device.

[0032] In an embodiment of the utility model, the driving member 120 is used to drive the locking member 110 to abut against the inner side of the steering wheel to fix the position of the locking bracket 100, ensuring the stability of the position of the steering wheel angle meter during centering; the angle meter body 200 is arranged on the side of the driving member 120 away from the avoidance space 121, which can avoid the angle meter body 200 blocking the nut position of the steering wheel when the steering wheel is centered, so that the operator can observe and confirm the centering angle of the steering wheel in real time when tightening the steering wheel nut, ensuring the accurate centering of the steering wheel; the wireless control button 310 arranged on the control handle 300 can control the start and stop of the four-wheel alignment equipment. In the related art, when centering, the steering wheel angle meter will block the nut position of the steering wheel. When tightening the steering wheel nut, the steering wheel angle meter must be removed, which will cause a waste of work time. When tightening the steering wheel nut, the steering wheel will rotate, which will lead to inaccurate centering of the steering wheel. In addition, the start and stop of the four-wheel alignment device is achieved by pulling the rope, which requires the operator to extend his hands and head out of the window, which poses a safety hazard. The steering wheel angle meter can avoid the angle meter body 200 blocking the nut position of the steering wheel when the steering wheel is centered by setting the angle meter body 200 on the side of the driving member 120 away from the avoidance space 121, so that the operator can observe and confirm the centering angle of the steering wheel in real time when tightening the steering wheel nut, ensuring that the centering of the steering wheel is accurate. At the same time, it does not need to disassemble the steering wheel angle meter, which can reduce time consumption and improve work efficiency. The wireless control button 310 is used to replace the existing pull rope to control the start and stop of the four-wheel alignment device, which does not require the operator to extend his hands and head out of the window, which can improve the safety of the operator.

[0033] In one embodiment, the distance between the side of the goniometer body 200 close to the avoidance space 121 and the central axis of the avoidance space 121 is recorded as a, where a>20mm. Specifically, the central axis of the avoidance space 121 coincides with the central axis of the nut of the steering wheel, that is, the distance between the side of the goniometer body 200 close to the avoidance space 121 and the central axis of the nut of the steering wheel is greater than 20mm, which facilitates the operator to simultaneously tighten the nut of the steering wheel when the steering wheel is centered. It should be noted that the nut of the steering wheel in this embodiment is located at the center of the steering wheel, that is, the central axis of the nut coincides with the central axis of the steering wheel.

[0034] like Figure 2As shown, there are two locking members 110, and the two locking members 110 are respectively connected to the two ends of the driving member 120. The driving member 120 can drive the two locking members 110 to move in a direction away from each other, and the two locking members 110 are both provided with a control handle 300, wherein any one of the control handles 300 is provided with a wireless control button 310. The driving member 120 can drive the two locking members 110 to move in a direction away from each other, so that the locking members 110 abut against the inner side of the steering wheel, which can better fix the locking bracket 100 on the steering wheel, and then better fix the steering wheel angle meter on the steering wheel, ensuring the position stability of the steering wheel angle meter during centering.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, the driving member 120 includes a driving cylinder 122 and a telescopic rod 123, the telescopic rod 123 is telescopically arranged on the driving cylinder 122, and the two locking members 110 are respectively connected to the driving cylinder 122 and the telescopic rod 123. The driving cylinder 122 drives the telescopic rod 123 to extend through hydraulic pressure, air pressure or spring, thereby driving the two locking members 110 to move away from each other, so that the locking members 110 abut against the inner side of the steering wheel.

[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the locking member 110 includes a connecting rod 111 and a locking block 112. The connecting rod 111 is connected to the driving member 120, and the locking block 112 is connected to the connecting rod 111, and the locking block 112 is used to abut against the inner side of the steering wheel. During centering, the operator drives the two control handles 300 to move toward each other, so that the two locking members 110 are close to each other until the distance between the two locking blocks 112 is less than the inner diameter of the steering wheel, and then places the two locking blocks 112 in the inner circle of the steering wheel, and slowly releases the two control handles 300. The locking blocks 112 are driven by the driving member 120 to abut against the inner side of the steering wheel, thereby completing the fixing of the steering wheel angle meter.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the connecting rod 111 is provided with a positioning block 113, and the positioning block 113 and the locking block 112 are arranged to form an accommodating space 114 for accommodating the steering wheel, and the positioning block 113 is used to abut against the top surface of the steering wheel. The positioning block 113 is used to abut against the top surface of the steering wheel when the steering wheel is centered to position the locking bracket 100 and ensure that the position of the steering wheel angle meter is accurate during installation. Further, the number of the positioning blocks 113 is two, and the two positioning blocks 113 are arranged at intervals.

[0038] The positioning block 113 and the locking block 112 are both rubber blocks. The positioning block 113 and the locking block 112 are both made of rubber, which can better protect the steering wheel and reduce the wear of the steering wheel during centering.

[0039] like Figure 2As shown, an annular protrusion 115 is formed at one end of the locking block 112 away from the connecting rod 111. The annular protrusion 115 is used to limit the position of the locking block 112 to prevent the steering wheel angle meter from slipping off the steering wheel during centering.

[0040] like Figure 1 As shown, the inclinometer body 200 is provided with a display screen 210. The display screen 210 is used to realize human-machine interaction, which is convenient for the operator to observe whether the steering wheel is centered; specifically, when aligning, the steering wheel inclinometer needs to be fixedly installed on the steering wheel, and the steering wheel needs to be turned so that the display value of the display screen 210 of the inclinometer body 200 is zero.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and does not limit the patent scope of the utility model. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the utility model specification and drawings under the utility model concept, or directly / indirectly used in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the utility model.
