[0002] With the rapid development of the automobile industry, the steering wheel, as one of the important parts of the automobile, has received increasing attention for its production and assembly process. In order to improve production efficiency, reduce costs and ensure product quality, many automobile manufacturers have begun to adopt production lines to assemble steering wheels. The steering wheel assembly line is a production line for assembling steering wheels, including various equipment and processes, which are used to assemble the various components of the steering wheel together to finally form a complete steering wheel.

[0003] On traditional production lines, in order to meet the production needs of different products, companies usually use special machines and equipment. The design and manufacturing process of such equipment requires a lot of time and resources, and once the product type changes, the entire equipment may need to be redesigned and manufactured, which undoubtedly increases the company's operating costs. For this reason, we proposed a steering wheel assembly line. Utility Model Content
