In view of the problem that the steering wheel and the connecting rod mechanism, the connecting rod mechanism and the steering mechanism in the related art mentioned in the above background technology are mechanically matched, resulting in increased vehicle cost, low applicability and complex assembly, the present application provides a steering device, in which the shift block contacts different conductive plates according to the shifting of the steering lever, and the connection between the lever assembly and the vehicle steering lights is connected through multiple conductive plates to control the steering lights to perform the target action, and the steering lever is controlled to return to the center based on the actual action of the steering wheel and the return mode corresponding to the target steering action, without the need to assemble a complex mechanical structure, and the steering and return functions are realized only through electrical signals and control circuits, thereby reducing the cost of the whole vehicle and increasing adaptability. Thus, the problem that the steering wheel and the connecting rod mechanism, the connecting rod mechanism and the steering mechanism in the related art are mechanically matched, resulting in increased vehicle cost, low applicability and complex assembly is solved.
[0019] Specifically, Figure 1 It is a block diagram of a steering device provided according to an embodiment of the present application.
[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the steering device 10 includes a steering lever 100 , a shift block 200 and a control circuit 300 .
[0021] Among them, the shift block 200 is arranged at the end of the steering lever 100, wherein the shift block 200 generates displacement according to the shifting of the steering lever 100; a plurality of conductive disks are arranged on the control circuit 300, and the conductive disks are turned on after the conductive disks contacted by the shift block 200, and the target steering action of the vehicle is determined according to the turned-on conductive disks, and the steering lights of the vehicle and / or the steering lever 100 are controlled to perform the target steering action.
[0022] Among them, the target turning action can be left lane change, left turn, right lane change and right turn, without specific limitation.
[0023] It can be understood that the shift block in the embodiment of the present application is displaced and contacts different conductive plates according to the movement of the steering lever, and the connection between the lever assembly and the vehicle's turn lights is connected through multiple conductive plates to control the turn lights to perform target actions, and the steering lever is controlled to return based on the actual movement of the steering wheel and the return method corresponding to the target steering action. There is no need to assemble a complex mechanical structure, and the steering and return functions are achieved only through electrical signals and control circuits, which reduces the cost of the entire vehicle and increases adaptability.
[0024] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the plurality of conductive discs include first to fifth conductive discs, wherein the first conductive disc corresponds to the return position of the steering lever, and if the shift block contacts the first conductive disc, the turn signal lamp does not flash; the second conductive disc corresponds to the left lane change position of the steering lever, and if the shift block contacts the second conductive disc, the turn signal lamp flashes for a preset time and the steering lever automatically returns to the center; the third conductive disc corresponds to the left steering position of the steering lever, and if the shift block contacts the third conductive disc, the turn signal lamp continues to flash, and the steering lever returns to the center manually, or, after detecting that the steering wheel generates a turning action and the steering wheel returns to the center, the steering lever returns to the center automatically; the fourth conductive disc corresponds to the right lane change position of the steering lever, and if the shift block contacts the fourth conductive disc, the turn signal lamp flashes for a preset time and the steering lever returns to the center automatically; the fifth conductive disc corresponds to the right steering position of the steering lever, and if the shift block contacts the fifth conductive disc, the turn signal lamp continues to flash, and the steering lever returns to the center manually, or, after detecting that the steering wheel generates a turning action and the steering wheel returns to the center, the steering lever returns to the center automatically.
[0025] Among them, the preset duration can be set according to actual conditions without specific limitation.
[0026] It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application controls the corresponding turn signal light to perform the target action according to the conductive plate contacted by the gear block, and after performing the steering action, controls the steering lever to automatically return to the center according to the steering wheel return status, thereby improving the user experience.
[0027] It should be noted that if the conducting disc is the first conductive disc, the target turning action is that the turn signal light does not flash; if the conducting disc is the second conductive disc, the target turning action is a left lane change action; if the conducting disc is the third conductive disc, the target turning action is a left turn action; if the conducting disc is the fourth conductive disc, the target turning action is a right lane change action; if the conducting disc is the fifth conductive disc, the target turning action is a right turn action.
[0028] The action for changing lanes left is that the left turn signal flashes for a preset time and then the steering lever automatically returns to the center; the action for turning left is that the left turn signal continues to flash and the steering lever automatically returns to the center or can be manually returned to the center; the action for changing lanes right is that the right turn signal flashes for a preset time and then the steering lever automatically returns to the center; the action for turning right is that the right turn signal continues to flash and the steering lever automatically returns to the center or can be manually returned to the center.
[0029] Specifically, before the steering lever automatically returns to the center or is manually returned to the center, the actual rotation angle of the steering wheel is detected; it is determined whether the actual rotation angle is greater than the preset angle; if the actual rotation angle is greater than the preset angle, the steering lever is controlled to automatically return to the center after detecting that the steering wheel has returned to the center, otherwise, the steering lever is returned to the center according to a manual action, wherein the preset angle can be set according to actual conditions and is not specifically limited.
[0030] 1) The combination switch adds an angle sensor angle signal. When the angle value is less than the set value (adjusted according to the specific vehicle model), it is determined that the steering wheel has not turned. When the angle is greater than the set value, it is determined that the steering wheel has turned.
[0031] 2) Steering and lane changing still use the same CAN (Controller Area Network) signal, but the sending logic is different;
[0032] 3) The circuit board adds a lane change contact gear input signal to distinguish it from the steering contact gear input signal;
[0033] 4) When the user operates the switch from the initial state to the lane change gear, the switch sends a gear signal, and the turn signal flashes three times before canceling the gear signal;
[0034] 5) When the user operates the switch from the initial state to the steering gear, the switch continues to send the gear signal. When the switch returns to the initial state, if the steering wheel does not turn during this process, the user needs to turn the handle to the lane change gear, and the switch will stop sending the gear signal;
[0035] 6) When the user operates the switch from the initial state to the steering gear, the switch continues to send a gear signal. When the switch returns to the initial state, during this process, if the steering wheel is turned, the switch will cancel sending the gear signal when it is detected again that the steering wheel has not turned.
[0036] In the embodiments of the present application, Figure 2 As shown, the control circuit 300 also includes first to sixth resistors R6, wherein the first conductive disk is arranged between the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, the second conductive disk is arranged between the first resistor R1 and the third resistor R3, the third conductive disk is arranged between the third resistor R3 and the fourth resistor R4, the fourth conductive disk is arranged between the second resistor R2 and the fifth resistor R5, and the fifth conductive disk is arranged between the fifth resistor R5 and the sixth resistor R6.
[0037] It can be understood that in the embodiment of the present application, resistors are provided at both ends of each conductive disk to ensure that the conductive disk works at the rated voltage and ensure safety.
[0038] According to the steering device proposed in the embodiment of the present application, the shift block is displaced and contacts different conductive plates according to the movement of the steering lever, and the connection between the lever assembly and the vehicle's turn signal lights is connected through multiple conductive plates to control the turn signal lights to perform target actions, and the steering lever is controlled to return to the center based on the actual movement of the steering wheel and the return method corresponding to the target steering action. There is no need to assemble a complex mechanical structure, and the steering and return functions are achieved only through electrical signals and control circuits, which reduces the cost of the entire vehicle and increases adaptability.
