[0002] In most existing simulation racing steering wheels, the layout of buttons, knobs and other control parts are designed as fixed configurations. If you want to change these layouts, you need to directly replace the steering wheel with a different style. However, competitors' requirements for steering wheel performance are constantly increasing. The same competitor may have different requirements for steering wheels in different sports. Different competitors in the same sports may also have different requirements for steering wheels. If different steering wheels are provided according to the requirements of competitors, the cost of the simulation racing car will be greatly increased, and replacing the steering wheel is also time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a detachable magnetic control component for simulated racing. Different magnetic control components can be installed in the same assembly slot on the steering wheel, which can meet the requirements of competitors for various steering wheel key layouts and has expandability in function and appearance.

[0004] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A detachable magnetic control component for a simulated racing car, wherein an assembly slot is provided on a steering wheel of the simulated racing car, and a second magnet slot for installing a magnet is provided below the assembly slot.

When the magnetic control component is placed in the assembly slot, the magnet in the second magnet slot and the magnet in the first magnet slot are attracted to each other to fix the magnetic control component in the assembly slot, and the first PCB circuit board is aligned and connected with the second PCB circuit board in the steering wheel. The same assembly slot can be matched with different magnetic control components, and the first switches and / or second switches of different magnetic control components are different.

[0006] As a further improvement of the above technical solution:

[0007] The first switch is a toggle switch or a button.

[0008] The second switch is a multi-directional switch or a knob switch.

[0009] The first PCB circuit board and the second PCB circuit board are connected via a spring-type probe, one end of the probe is connected to the first PCB circuit board, and the other end contacts and presses a contact on the second PCB circuit board under the pressure of a spring.

[0010] The shell is a box-like structure with an internal cavity, the bottom plate and top plate of the box-like structure are the lower cover and the top cover respectively, the lower cover is provided with a first magnet slot, a probe hole and a plurality of pillars, the first magnet slot and the probe hole are through holes passing through the lower cover, the first PCB circuit board is located in the box-like structure and supported on a plurality of pillars, the probe passes through the probe hole, and the first switch and the second switch pass through the top cover.

[0011] The box-shaped structure has an outer shape of a cuboid with rounded corners.

[0012] The first magnet slot is a stepped slot which can prevent the first magnet slot from falling.

[0013] A limiting protrusion for limiting the position of the first PCB circuit board is provided on the inner side wall of the box-shaped structure, and the first PCB circuit board is located between the limiting protrusion and the pillar.

The same magnetic component can also be arranged on different steering wheel surfaces or steering wheel hubs to achieve a modular design of the control component, giving competitors more button function setting options and adjustment space, and meeting competitors' requirements for various steering wheel key layouts, with expandability in terms of function and appearance.

[0017] (2) The magnetic control component can be detachably connected to the steering wheel surface or the body of the steering wheel hub by magnetic attraction, and installation and removal are quick and efficient.

[0018] (3) If the competitor does not like buttons in certain positions or has no requirements for buttons or other functions in certain positions, the control components in the corresponding positions can be removed to reduce the weight of the steering wheel.

[0019] (4) When the assembly slot is set on the steering wheel hub, the assembly slot can be compatible with various steering wheel bodies that do not have reserved extension holes for the components. In other words, when the competitor wants to install a different model of steering wheel surface on the steering wheel hub, and there is no reserved hole on the steering wheel surface for connecting with the steering wheel hub, the assembly slot on the steering wheel hub can be used as a hole for connecting with the steering wheel surface.

[0035] In this embodiment, the first switch 5 is a toggle switch. An external thread is provided in the middle of the first switch 5, and the first switch 5 is screwed on the top cover of the rectangular parallelepiped through the external thread. One end of the first switch 5 extends into the rectangular box-shaped structure, and the other end extends out of the top cover of the rectangular parallelepiped for manual operation.
