Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 211869491 U discloses a high-performance and high-strength multifunctional steering wheel, which includes an outer disc and an inner disc. The outer disc includes a plurality of sub-discs evenly distributed along the circumference of the outer disc. The plurality of sub-discs are connected by bolts. Each sub-disc is fixedly provided with an adjustment support rod slidably connected to the inner disc. A driving disc is rotatably connected inside the inner disc. A plurality of driving support rods corresponding to the plurality of adjustment support rods respectively and capable of ejecting the adjustment support rods as the driving disc rotates are fixedly provided on the driving disc. A slot is opened on the driving disc, and a fixing support rod capable of being connected to the inner disc to fix the driving disc is inserted into the slot.

[0003] In the above technical solution, for a high-performance and high-strength multifunctional steering wheel, when adjusting the sub-disc, it is necessary to first unscrew the bolts connecting the sub-discs before further adjusting the sub-disc. When releasing the fixation of the bolts, auxiliary tools are required, and the operation is relatively troublesome. In addition, when there is no auxiliary tool adapted to it around the user during adjustment, the adjustment cannot be carried out.

[0004] Therefore, a multifunctional steering wheel is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0024] Such as Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, a multifunctional steering wheel includes a mounting shell 1 and three sub-disks 5. The top of the mounting shell 1 is provided with a fixing ring 2. An expansion mechanism 4 for adjusting the distance between the three sub-disks 5 is arranged on the fixing ring 2, and the sub-disks 5 are arranged on the expansion mechanism 4. The top of the fixing ring 2 is provided with a fixing shell 3. A driving mechanism 6 for driving and locking is arranged on the expansion mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism 6 is arranged on the fixing shell 3. Anti-slip mechanisms 7 for preventing the hand from slipping are arranged on the three sub-disks 5. In this embodiment, when in use, according to the user's operating habits of using the sub-disks 5, the driving mechanism 6 is unlocked and the expansion mechanism 4 is driven, so that the expansion mechanism 4 expands or contracts the sub-disks 5 to adapt to the user's operating habits. When using the sub-disks 5, the anti-slip mechanism 7 can reduce the situation of the user's hand slipping. Thus, the expansion and contraction of the sub-disks 5 are adjusted to adapt to different user's operating habits and reduce the situation of hand slipping. The operation is simple, the applicable range is wide, and the practicability is strong.

[0025] As Figures 1-2 shown, the expansion mechanism 4 includes a limiting circular plate 402. An annular groove 401 is opened on the inner wall of the fixing ring 2, and the limiting circular plate 402 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the annular groove 401 and the fixing ring 2. In this embodiment, when the limiting circular plate 402 rotates, the annular groove 401 can prevent the limiting circular plate 402 from shifting and falling off, improving the stability.

[0026] As Figures 2-3 shown, three arc-shaped notches 403 are arranged on the top of the limiting circular plate 402. T-shaped columns 404 are slidably installed on the inner walls of the three arc-shaped notches 403. Three sliding notches 406 are arranged on the top of the mounting shell 1. Fixed rods 405 are installed at the bottoms of the three T-shaped columns 404, and the fixed rods 405 are slidably installed on the inner walls of the sliding notches 406. The sub-disks 5 are installed on the surfaces of the fixed rods 405. In this embodiment, when the limiting circular plate 402 rotates, it drives the three T-shaped columns 404 to slide in the arc-shaped notches 403 and pushes the three fixed rods 405 to slide in the three sliding notches 406, and the three sub-disks 5 move accordingly, so as to adjust the distance between the three sub-disks 5.

[0027] As Figures 1-2 and Figure 4As shown, the driving mechanism 6 includes a connecting column 601. The connecting column 601 is installed on the top of the limiting circular plate 402. The connecting column 601 is rotatably installed on the fixed housing 3. A fixed cylinder 602 is installed on the top of the connecting column 601. A limiting block 603 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the fixed cylinder 602. A cylinder 604 is installed on the top of the limiting block 603, and the cylinder 604 is slidably installed on the fixed cylinder 602. A spring 605 is sleeved on the outer wall of the cylinder 604. A plurality of insertion slots 608 are formed on the top of the fixed housing 3. A knob 606 is installed on the top of the cylinder 604. A plug rod 607 is installed on the bottom of the knob 606, and the plug rod 607 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the insertion slot 608. In this embodiment, by pulling the knob 606, the limiting block 603 and the cylinder 604 are driven to slide in the fixed cylinder 602, and the plug rod 607 is separated from the insertion slot 608, compressing the spring 605. Then, by rotating the knob 606, the cylinder 604, the limiting block 603, the fixed cylinder 602, the connecting column 601, and the limiting circular plate 402 can be rotated. On the contrary, when the knob 606 is released, under the restoring elastic force of the spring 605, the plug rod 607 will insert into the insertion slot 608 to lock the position of the limiting circular plate 402.

[0028] As Figure 4 shown, the number of the plug rods 607 is set to two, which are symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the knob 606. In this embodiment, by setting the number and orientation of the plug rods 607, the stability of limiting the limiting circular plate 402 is improved.

[0029] As Figures 1-2 shown, the anti-slip mechanism 7 includes three anti-slip sleeves 701, and the anti-slip sleeves 701 are arranged on the sub-disk 5. The anti-slip sleeves 701 are made of rubber material, and a plurality of anti-slip lines 702 are formed on the surface of the anti-slip sleeves 701. In this embodiment, through the cooperation of the anti-slip sleeves 701 and the anti-slip lines 702, the situation of slipping with the hand is reduced.

[0030] In summary, during use, according to the operating habits of the user for the sub-disk 5, the locking is released through the driving mechanism 6, and the expansion mechanism 4 is driven, so that the expansion mechanism 4 expands or contracts the sub-disk 5 to adapt to the user's operating habits. When using the sub-disk 5, the anti-slip mechanism 7 can reduce the situation of the user's hand slipping. Thus, the expansion and contraction of the sub-disk 5 can be adjusted to adapt to the operating habits of different users and reduce the situation of hand slipping. The operation is simple, the applicable range is wide, and the practicability is strong. When the limiting circular plate 402 rotates, under the action of the circular ring groove 401, the situation of the limiting circular plate 402 shifting and falling off can be avoided, improving the stability. When the limiting circular plate 402 rotates, it drives the three T-shaped columns 404 to slide in the arc-shaped notch 403 and pushes the three fixing rods 405 to slide in the three sliding notches 406, and the three sub-disks 5 move accordingly, so as to adjust the distance between the three sub-disks 5. By pulling the knob 606, the limiting block 603 and the cylinder 604 are driven to slide in the fixed cylinder 602, and the insertion rod 607 is separated from the insertion slot 608 and compresses the spring 605. Then, by rotating the knob 606, the cylinder 604, the limiting block 603, the fixed cylinder 602, the connecting column 601 and the limiting circular plate 402 can be rotated. On the contrary, when the knob 606 is released, under the reset elastic force of the spring 605, the insertion rod 607 will insert into the insertion slot 608 to lock the position of the limiting circular plate 402. Through the setting of the quantity and orientation of the insertion rods 607, the stability of limiting the limiting circular plate 402 is improved. Through the cooperation of the anti-slip sleeve 701 and the anti-slip lines 702, the situation of slipping with the hand is reduced.
