[0003] In the prior art, a safe driving steering wheel disclosed in the announcement number CN107512302A includes a steering wheel handle, a vent, a pressure detector and a horn button. A detector is set on the steering wheel handle to detect the alcohol content in the driver's sweat; a detector and a processor are set in the vent to detect the alcohol content in the driver's exhaled gas and receive the data detected by the detector on the steering wheel handle, analyze whether the driver meets the driving conditions and notify the driver through the vehicle voice system. The driver's alcohol content can be tested when the driver gets on the car to curb drunk driving at the source. And the alcohol content of the driver's exhaled gas can be monitored in real time during driving to ensure driving safety. However, in actual use, only a single response can be made to the driver's fatigue state. In fact, drunk driving and dangerous driving behaviors are also the causes of most traffic accidents. If only the identification of the driver's drunk driving behavior can be performed, other dangerous driving behaviors or fatigue driving behaviors cannot be corrected or stopped accordingly, that is, a more comprehensive driving protection effect cannot be ensured.

[0019] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0020] Embodiment 1, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a car steering wheel structure includes a steering wheel body 1 and a car-mounted computer system. A dangerous driving correction unit, a fatigue driving relief unit and a drunk driving manufacturing unit are integrated and installed on the steering wheel body 1. The dangerous driving correction unit, the fatigue driving relief unit and the drunk driving manufacturing unit are all connected to the car-mounted computer system for signal transmission;

[0021] The dangerous driving correction unit includes an eccentric rotor vibration motor 3, the fatigue driving relief unit includes an air pump 6, and the drunk driving manufacturing unit includes an alcohol concentration detector 5. The eccentric rotor vibration motor 3, the air pump 6 and the alcohol concentration detector 5 are all embedded in the steering wheel body 1.

[0022] Embodiment 2: In addition to all the technical features of Embodiment 1, this embodiment also includes:

[0023] A camera 2 is installed on the rear fixing plate of the steering wheel body 1. The camera 2 is located between the vehicle operating console and the steering wheel body 1, and the camera end of the camera 2 is aimed at the driver's face. The camera 2 is convenient for reading and identifying the driver's facial information and driving action information, and transmitting the identified information to the vehicle's on-board computer system to judge the driver's driving status, so as to determine whether the driver is in a fatigue driving or dangerous driving state, and then the corresponding dangerous driving correction unit or fatigue driving relief unit can be activated to remind the driver of behavior.

[0024] Cylindrical installation cavities are provided at the hand gripping parts on both sides of the steering wheel body 1, and the eccentric rotor vibration motors 3 are respectively installed in the installation cavities provided at the hand gripping parts on both sides of the steering wheel body 1. When the onboard camera 2 detects that the driver has dangerous driving behavior, the two eccentric rotor vibration motors 3 can be started to vibrate the steering wheel body 1, so as to achieve the purpose of reminding the driver to correct the dangerous driving behavior.

[0025] The alcohol concentration detector 5 and the air pump 6 are both installed at the lower end of the steering wheel body 1. The lower end of the steering wheel body 1 is also provided with an air intake port 4 and an air exhaust port 8. The air intake port 4 is connected to the air exhaust port 8. The air pump 6 is located at the connecting portion between the air intake port 4 and the air exhaust port 8. The installation portion of the alcohol concentration detector 5 is close to the air intake port 4. The air pump 5 can be used to inhale the gas in the car through the air intake port 4 and then discharge it through the air exhaust port 8. That is, the gas exhaled by the driver can be detected, and the detection data can be transmitted to the car-mounted computer system to determine whether the driver has drunk driving behavior. The car-mounted computer system can disconnect the spark plug power supply by issuing a command and lock the steering wheel to fundamentally prevent the driver from driving under the influence of alcohol.

[0026] A sobering agent storage bin 7 is also installed in the steering wheel body 1. The sobering agent storage bin 7 is installed close to the exhaust port 8 so that the exhausted gas passes through the sobering agent storage bin 7, and then the sobering agent can be discharged in the gas, thereby completing the task of relieving driver fatigue.

[0027] There are two exhaust ports 8 at the lower end of the steering wheel body 1, and each exhaust port 8 is equipped with a sobering agent storage tank 7, which can diffuse the exhausted gas in multiple areas, thereby increasing the diffusion rate of the sobering agent in the car and more efficiently relieving the driver's fatigue state.

[0028] The sobering agent storage bin 7 is filled with a solid sobering agent, which enables the sobering agent to be better installed in the sobering agent storage bin 7 and not easily spilled.

[0029] When starting the car, the air pump 6 draws air from the air inlet 4 for testing. If the alcohol concentration in the car reaches the threshold, it will send a command to the on-board computer to disconnect the spark plug power supply and lock the steering wheel to fundamentally prevent the driver from driving under the influence of alcohol; the fatigue driving relief function is achieved by the air pump 6. The air inlet 4 and the exhaust port 8 provided on the steering wheel body 1 are connected. When the onboard camera 2 detects fatigue driving behavior, the air pump 6 is started, and the air flow flowing through the sobering agent storage bin 7 carries the freshener and is discharged from the exhaust port 8 at the lower end of the steering wheel, thereby completing the task of relieving the driver's fatigue; the eccentric rotor vibration motor 3 can complete the fatigue driving and dangerous driving reminder tasks. When the onboard camera 2 detects that the driver is fatigue driving or dangerous driving behavior, the eccentric rotor vibration motor 3 vibrates to drive the steering wheel to vibrate slightly to remind the driver to correct the dangerous behavior in time. This reminder method is also the most obvious reminder.

[0030] It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive from any point of view, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the present invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be regarded as limiting the claim to which it relates.
