Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steering wheel connectors, and more specifically, to a steering wheel connector. Background Art

[0002] Existing steering wheel connectors have certain limitations in design, which are particularly evident during use. Specifically, the steering wheel connectors currently on the market often cannot easily adjust the angle when fixing the steering wheel. This design defect means that drivers will encounter considerable trouble when they need to adjust the steering wheel angle for a more comfortable driving posture. They may need to spend extra time and energy to figure out how to adjust the steering wheel angle without affecting the driving experience. This not only reduces the convenience of driving, but in some cases, it may also affect driving safety due to improper adjustment.

[0003] In addition, the existing steering wheel connector is not convenient enough in fixing the steering wheel. Usually, after adjusting the steering wheel angle, the driver needs to fix the steering wheel in a certain position to ensure stability during driving. However, the current connector design often lacks a simple fixing mechanism, so the driver has to face cumbersome operation procedures when performing this step. This not only prolongs the driving preparation time, but also in an emergency, the inability to quickly fix the steering wheel may have an adverse effect on the driver's control, thereby reducing driving safety.

[0015] (III) Beneficial effects

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the utility model provides a steering wheel connector, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. The installation mechanism provides a stable and flexible connection method, so that the steering wheel can be easily installed on the vehicle. The setting of the fixing sleeve, positioning rod and spring provides necessary buffering and resilience, so that the driver can feel a smooth operation experience when adjusting the steering wheel angle. The cooperation of the middle rod and the one-way sleeve enables the steering wheel to maintain one-way movement after adjusting the angle, ensuring the safety of operation.

[0018] 2. The clamping mechanism can realize the rapid fixation of the steering wheel. The combined design of the pressure plate and the one-way block can quickly form a stable locking state after adjusting to the appropriate angle, ensuring the stability of the steering wheel during driving. The structure of the self-locking sleeve and the slider realizes the automatic contraction of the slider through the action of the push spring, so that the pressure plate can be tightly against the middle rod to form an effective fixation. This design not only simplifies the operation process, but also improves the reliability of the steering wheel fixation.

[0019] 3. The unlocking mechanism provides a simple way to release the fixed state of the steering wheel. Through the cooperation of the limit ring, the pull rope and the sliding sleeve, the driver can easily slide the sliding sleeve and use the pull rope to drive the slider to slide downward, so that the slider expands outward and unlocks the clamping between the one-way block and the one-way sleeve. This design makes the adjustment of the steering wheel flexible. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
