Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of steering wheels, in particular to a steering wheel capable of controlling the start, stop, acceleration and braking of an automobile. Background Art

[0002] The steering wheel on the current car is only a device for controlling the driving direction. Although some steering wheels adopt the form of liquid crystal touch screen, they are only limited to replacing mechanical buttons.

[0003] At present, the starting, acceleration and braking of a car are all performed by the accelerator or brake. This series of actions requires the driver to complete with his feet. The driver's attention is mainly focused on the road. Novice drivers often make mistakes in the foot movements due to distraction, which leads to traffic accidents. In addition, some people with inconvenient legs and feet cannot drive a car due to physical reasons, which causes great inconvenience to their lives. Summary of the invention

[0004] The utility model aims to solve the problem that the start, stop, acceleration and braking of the existing automobile can only be controlled by the driver's feet, and to provide a steering wheel capable of controlling the start, stop, acceleration and braking of the automobile.

[0005] A steering wheel capable of controlling the start, stop, acceleration and braking of a car comprises a steering wheel body. The inner sides of the left and right ends of the steering wheel body are respectively provided with longitudinal touch strips embedded in the steering wheel body.

[0006] The automobile acceleration-brake system controlled by the longitudinal touch strip is connected in parallel with the automobile accelerator pedal and the brake pedal.

[0007] The working principle and working process of this utility model:

[0008] In the utility model, during the driving process of the automobile, the vertical touch bar is operated by the thumbs of both hands or the thumb of one hand.

[0009] When parking: slide your thumb forward on one side to drive the car forward in a weaker nonlinear manner;

[0010] The thumbs slide forward on both sides to drive the car forward linearly with strong strength;

[0011] The thumb slides backwards on one side, and the car reverses at a low speed;

[0012] The thumbs slide backwards on both sides, and the car reverses at a low speed;

[0013] If you press one side with your thumb, the car's status remains unchanged.

[0014] When moving forward: slide the thumb forward unilaterally to perform weak nonlinear acceleration on the car;

[0015] Slide your thumbs forward on both sides to accelerate the car linearly with high intensity;

[0016] Slide the thumb backwards unilaterally to apply normal braking to the car;

[0017] Slide your thumbs back bilaterally to apply emergency brakes to the car;

[0018] If you press one side with your thumb, the car status remains unchanged;

[0019] Double-click on one side with your thumb, and the car will enter cruise control / autopilot mode;

[0020] Release both sides of your thumbs to cancel the drive of the car and recover energy.

[0021] When reversing: slide your thumb forward on one side to brake the car;

[0022] Slide your thumbs forward on both sides to apply emergency brakes to the car;

[0023] The thumb slides unilaterally backwards, accelerating backwards (weak energy);

[0024] The thumbs slide back bilaterally, accelerating backward (strong energy);

[0025] If you press one side with your thumb, the car status remains unchanged;

[0026] Release both sides of your thumbs to cancel the drive of the car and recover energy.

[0027] The utility model is based on ergonomics and the principle of human brain structure controlling the body, and takes the brain controlling the fingers as the most convenient and quick first principle to control the start-stop-acceleration-brake of the vehicle. From the physiological principle, it reduces the risk of misoperation caused by foot operation and health damage caused by fatigue, and makes the acquired training of foot operation return to the habit of innate cognition. In this mode, the driving experience can be greatly improved and the driving difficulty can be reduced.

[0028] Beneficial effects of the utility model:

[0029] 1. Simple and convenient operation, easy to master quickly;

[0030] 2. Reduce driving fatigue and reduce the difficulty of operating with both hands and feet;

[0031] 3. The whole vehicle layout is simple and cost-saving;

[0032] 4. Connecting it in parallel with the car's accelerator pedal and brake pedal can enhance the car's safety factor. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
