[0022] In order to more clearly understand the above objects, features, and advantages of the present disclosure, the solutions of the present disclosure will be further described below. It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0023] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to fully understand the present disclosure, but the present disclosure may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein; obviously, the embodiments in the specification are only a part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments.

[0024] Such as Figure 1 And Figure 2As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a roller assembly, which includes: a roller 10; an impeller 20, the impeller 20 includes a plurality of shielding portions 22 spaced apart along its circumferential direction; an optocoupler 30, the optocoupler 30 includes a transmitting portion 31 and a receiving portion 32, and the impeller 20 is rotatably disposed between the transmitting portion 31 and the receiving portion 32; a gear assembly 50, which is in transmission connection with the roller 10 and is in transmission connection with the impeller 20 through a drive shaft 21; a housing 40, the roller 10 is installed in the housing 40, the housing 40 has a first mounting hole 41 penetrating therethrough, the first mounting hole 41 is in the shape of a closed circular hole adapted to the outer circumferential surface of the drive shaft 21, and the drive shaft 21 can axially penetrate through the first mounting hole 41.

[0025] Specifically, the roller assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application includes a roller 10, an impeller 20, an optocoupler 30, a housing 40 and a gear assembly 50. The roller 10 is integrally installed inside the housing 40. The roller 10 is in transmission connection with the gear assembly 50, and the gear assembly 50 is in turn in drive connection with the impeller 20 through the drive shaft 21. The transmission of multiple gears of the gear assembly 50 can change the transmission ratio between the roller 10 and the impeller 20. Since the impeller 20 drivingly connected to the drive shaft 21 includes a plurality of shielding portions 22 spaced apart along its circumferential direction, the rotation of the impeller 20 enables the optocoupler 30 to detect the shielding state of the shielding portions 22, so that the optocoupler 30 can reflect the rotation state of the roller 10 through the rotation state of the impeller 20. Under the transmission action of the gear assembly 50, the detection of the rotation accuracy of the roller 10 by the optocoupler 30 is improved.

[0026] The optocoupler 30 includes a spaced-apart transmitting portion 31 and receiving portion 32. The transmitting portion 31 can emit a light source toward the receiving portion 32. The impeller 20 is rotatably disposed between the transmitting portion 31 and the receiving portion 32, and the rotation direction of the impeller 20 is perpendicular to the light source direction of the transmitting portion 31. When the impeller 20 rotates, the plurality of shielding portions 22 spaced apart in the circumferential direction can intermittently shield the light source emitted by the transmitting portion 31, so that the receiving portion 32 receives intermittent light source signals, thereby judging the rotation angle and rotation state of the roller 10.

[0027] For the roller assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the drive shaft 21 includes a first shaft section 211 and a second shaft section 212. The diameter of the second shaft section 212 is larger than that of the first shaft section 211. The first mounting hole 41 is in the shape of a closed circular hole adapted to the outer circumferential surface of the second shaft section 212, and the second shaft section 212 axially penetrates through the first mounting hole 41.

[0028] During specific implementation, the drive shaft 21 includes a first shaft section 211 with a smaller diameter and a second shaft section 212 with a larger diameter. Since the shape of the first mounting hole 41 on the housing matches the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft section 212, the second shaft section 212 can be clamped in the first mounting hole 41. When installing the drive shaft 21, since the second shaft section 212 is the part with the largest diameter of the entire drive shaft 21, the drive shaft 21 can be integrally installed through the first mounting hole 41 along its axial direction. After installation, the second shaft section 212 is rotatably arranged in the closed first mounting hole 41, enabling it to rotate stably without axial displacement, ensuring the rotational accuracy of the drive shaft 21 and thus ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the roller 10.

[0029] Specifically, the drive shaft 21 is formed by opening the upper die and the lower die of the mold. Since the drive shaft 21 is designed to include the first shaft section 211 and the second shaft section 212, the first shaft section 211 and the second shaft section 212 are axially connected along the drive shaft 21, and the diameters of the first shaft section 211 and the second shaft section 212 are different. Therefore, there is a stepped surface between the first shaft section 211 and the second shaft section 212, and this stepped surface can be used as the parting surface to enable the upper die and the lower die of the mold to open at this parting surface. Compared with the case where the integral circular shaft is opened along the axis and the parting line extends axially, opening the mold with the stepped surface as the parting surface will not have a parting line. When the drive shaft 21 rotates in the first mounting hole 41, the influence of the parting line on the rotational stability is avoided.

[0030] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, for the roller assembly of the first embodiment of the present application, along the axial direction of the roller 10, the gear assembly 50 and the impeller 20 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the roller 10. On the opposite side walls of the housing 40, there are respectively a first mounting hole 41 and a second mounting hole 42 penetrating through. The second mounting hole 42 is in the shape of a circular hole adapted to the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft section 211, and the second mounting hole 42 has an opening.

[0031] During specific implementation, the gear assembly 50 and the impeller 20 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the roller 10, rather than being arranged in sequence in the same direction, which can reduce the space occupied by the roller assembly 100 in the axial direction of the roller 10; the first mounting hole 41 and the second mounting hole 42 penetrate through both sides of the housing 40. The second mounting hole 42 is in the shape of a circular hole with an opening, enabling the first shaft section 211 to be directly clamped into the second mounting hole 42 from the opening when installed into the second mounting hole 42. After the first shaft section 211 is installed, the entire drive shaft 21 can move axially, enabling the second shaft section 212 to enter the first mounting hole 41, thereby reducing the installation difficulty of the drive shaft 21.

[0032] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, the roller assembly of the first embodiment of the present application. Among them, the drive shaft 21 further includes a limiting portion 213 protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the first shaft section 211. The limiting portion 213 has an annular structure, and the outer diameter of the limiting portion 213 is smaller than the diameter of the first mounting hole 41 and larger than the diameter of the second mounting hole 42.

[0033] During specific implementation, the limiting portion 213 is arranged in an annular structure, and its outer diameter is smaller than the diameter of the first mounting hole 41. When the first shaft section 211 is installed inside the second mounting hole 42 and the second shaft section 212 is installed inside the first mounting hole 41, the arrangement of the limiting portion 213 enables the drive shaft 21 to be stopped by the side wall of the housing 40 and unable to pass through the second mounting hole 42 when the drive shaft 21 is about to axially slide. Therefore, the limiting portion 213 can play a role in axially limiting the drive shaft 21, avoiding the situation that the drive shaft 21 has excessive axial displacement during rotation, which affects the transmission accuracy of the drive shaft 21; moreover, the diameter of the limiting portion 213 is also larger than the diameter of the second mounting hole 42, enabling the limiting portion 213 to pass through the second mounting hole 42 during the axial installation process of the drive shaft 21, without affecting the installation of the drive shaft 21.

[0034] For the roller assembly of the second embodiment of the present application, among which, along the axial direction of the roller 10, the gear assembly 50 and the impeller 20 are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the roller 10. Both of the relatively arranged side walls of the housing 40 have first mounting holes 41 penetrating therethrough. The drive shaft 21 has two second shaft sections 212 arranged at intervals, and the two second shaft sections 212 are respectively rotatably arranged in the two first mounting holes 41.

[0035] During specific implementation, in the roller assembly of the second embodiment of the present application, the drive shaft 21 has two second shaft sections 212, and the two second shaft sections 212 are arranged at both ends of the first shaft section 211 and rotatably arranged in the two first mounting holes 41. The two first mounting holes 41 can provide a support basis for the two second shaft sections 212 and also provide two support points for the entire drive shaft 21, making the rotation of the drive shaft 21 more stable, thereby ensuring the rotation stability of the impeller 20 and further ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the roller 10.

[0036] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, for the roller assembly of the embodiment of the present application, among which, the gear assembly 50 includes a driving gear 51 and a driven gear assembly 52 that are meshed and connected. The driving gear 51 is coaxially arranged with the roller 10 and is rotationally connected, and the driven gear assembly 52 is drivingly connected to the impeller 20 through the drive shaft 21.

[0037] In specific implementation, the gear assembly 50 includes a driving gear 51 and a driven gear assembly 52. The driving gear 51 is coaxially arranged with the roller 10 and is rotationally connected thereto, so that the roller 10 can rotate coaxially with the driving gear 51, and there is no need to provide teeth on the driving gear 51 for meshing connection with the driving gear 51. Thus, when the user rolls the roller 10, they will not touch the teeth, ensuring the feel of rolling the roller 10. Moreover, when the roller 10 and the driving gear 51 rotate coaxially, their rotation angles are the same, and the driving gear 51 can reflect the rotation state of the roller 10, facilitating the precise adjustment of the roller 10.

[0038] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, for the roller assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the driven gear assembly 52 includes a first driven gear 521 and a second driven gear 522. The second driven gear 522 has the same diameter as the driving gear 51. The first driven gear 521 is meshingly connected to both the driving gear 51 and the second driven gear 522. The diameters of the driving gear 51 and the second driven gear 522 are both smaller than the diameter of the first driven gear 521. The second driven gear 522 is coaxially arranged with the impeller 20 and is rotationally connected through a drive shaft 21, and the diameter of the second driven gear 522 is smaller than the diameter of the first mounting hole 41.

[0039] In specific implementation, the driving gear 51 is rotationally connected to the roller 10, the second driven gear 522 is rotationally connected to the impeller 20, the first driven gear 521 is disposed between the driving gear 51 and the second driven gear 522 and is meshingly connected to both of them, and the diameter of the first driven gear 521 is larger, enabling the rotation of the driving gear 51 to be transmitted to the second driven gear 522, thereby realizing the transmission of rotation between the roller 10 and the impeller 20 with a certain distance therebetween.

[0040] Since the driving gear 51 and the second driven gear 522 have the same diameter and both are meshed with the first driven gear 521, the rotation angles of the driving gear 51 and the second driven gear 522 are always the same. The rotation state of the impeller 20 rotationally connected to the second driven gear 522 is exactly the same as the rotation state of the roller 10 rotationally connected to the driving gear 51, enabling the optocoupler 30 to stably reflect the rotation state of the roller 10, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the roller 10.

[0041] Optionally, the diameter of the second driven gear 522 can be smaller than the diameter of the driving gear 51. In this way, when the second driven gear 522 and the driving gear 51 rotate the same distance, the angle rotated by the second driven gear 522 is larger, resulting in a larger rotation angle of the impeller 20 relative to the roller 10, thereby improving the detection accuracy of the optocoupler 30 for the rotation angle of the roller 10.

[0042] As Figure 1 andFigure 2 As shown, in the roller assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the driving gear 51 and the roller 10 are connected by a rotating shaft, and both ends of the rotating shaft are respectively connected to the rotation center of the driving gear 51 and the rotation center of the roller 10. The housing 40 also has a through rotating hole 43, and the rotating shaft is rotatably arranged in the rotating hole 43.

[0043] During specific implementation, the rotating shaft between the driving gear 51 and the roller 10 can be installed in the rotating hole 43 and rotate stably, enabling the driving gear 51 to accurately reflect the rotation state of the roller 10, and then transmitting the rotation state of the roller 10 to the driven gear assembly 52 and the impeller 20, so that the optocoupler 30 can accurately read it to ensure the adjustment accuracy of the roller 10.

[0044] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, in the roller assembly of the embodiment of the present application, the housing 40 also has a connecting shaft protruding towards the gear assembly 50. The rotation center of the first driven gear 521 has a through connecting hole 523, and the first driven gear 521 is rotationally connected to the connecting shaft through the connecting hole 523.

[0045] During specific implementation, a connecting shaft is provided on the housing 40, and the connecting shaft is inserted into the connecting hole 523 of the first driven gear 521, enabling the first driven gear 521 to rotate around the connecting shaft. The setting of the connecting shaft provides an installation basis for the first driven gear 521, enabling the first driven gear 521 to rotate stably and accurately transmitting the rotation of the driving gear 51 to the second driven gear 522, ensuring the overall transmission stability of the roller assembly.

[0046] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the embodiment of the present application also provides a steering wheel, which includes the above-mentioned roller assembly 100. The steering wheel further includes a PCB board 200, and the optocoupler 30 is installed on the surface of the PCB board 200 by SMT soldering.

[0047] It should be noted that the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) board is a printed circuit board, and SMT (Surface Mount Technology) is surface mount technology.

[0048] During specific implementation, the PCB board 200 can supply power, perform operations, and adjust the actions of the roller assembly 100, so that the roller assembly 100 can accurately control the in-vehicle functions; the optocoupler 30 is installed on the surface of the PCB board 200 by SMT soldering. Using SMT technology for installation, the connection reliability between the optocoupler 30 and the PCB board 200 is high, and the solder joint defect rate is low.

[0049] An embodiment of the present application also provides a vehicle, wherein the vehicle includes the above-mentioned steering wheel.

[0050] Specifically, in implementation, the vehicle of the embodiment of the present application includes a steering wheel, and a roller assembly 100 is arranged inside the steering wheel. A user can adjust functions capable of intensity adjustment in the vehicle through the roller assembly 100. The roller assembly includes a roller 10, an impeller 20, an optocoupler 30, a housing 40, and a gear assembly 50. The roller 10 is integrally installed inside the housing 40. The roller 10 is in transmission connection with the gear assembly 50. The gear assembly 50 is also in driving connection with the impeller 20 through a drive shaft 21. The drive shaft 21 includes a first shaft section 211 with a smaller diameter and a second shaft section 212 with a larger diameter. Since the shape of the first mounting hole 41 on the housing matches the outer peripheral surface of the second shaft section 212, the second shaft section 212 can be clamped in the first mounting hole 41. When installing the drive shaft 21, since the second shaft section 212 is the part with the largest diameter of the entire drive shaft 21, the drive shaft 21 can be integrally inserted through the first mounting hole 41 along its axial direction for installation. After installation, the second shaft section 212 is rotatably arranged in the closed first mounting hole 41, enabling it to rotate stably without axial movement, ensuring the rotation accuracy of the drive shaft 21. Since the impeller 20 in driving connection with the drive shaft 21 includes a plurality of shielding portions 22 spaced apart along its circumferential direction, the rotation of the impeller 20 enables the optocoupler 30 to detect the shielding state of the shielding portions 22, enabling the optocoupler 30 to stably reflect the rotation state of the roller 10, thereby ensuring the adjustment accuracy of the roller 10.

[0051] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article, or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article, or device.
