[0002] The steering column angle adjustment rotation center is not concentric with the upper cross shaft center. During the steering column adjustment process, the cross shaft center will rotate around the adjustment center, causing the intermediate shaft length to change. The intermediate shaft and the front body sealing structure will be displaced due to the movement of the cross shaft, which is prone to abnormal noise problems and the seal is at risk of failure. Utility Model Content
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a steering column bracket, which optimizes the structural layout of the steering column, aligns the center of the cross axis on the steering column with the angle adjustment center, and at the same time optimizes the mounting bracket structure to a frame type to reduce weight and improve installation rigidity, so that the steering column assembly has a simple structure and light weight, while still ensuring that the column rigidity and adjustment remain unchanged.
[0004] The steering column bracket includes a mounting bracket and an adjustment bracket. A groove is provided on one side of the mounting bracket, and a plurality of parallel articulated frames are fixed in the groove. The adjustment bracket is arranged on one side of the mounting bracket, and a plurality of articulated ears adapted to the articulated frames protrude from the side facing the mounting bracket. An adjustment sleeve is also installed on the side of the adjustment bracket facing away from the articulated ears.
[0005] Preferably, the articulated frame includes a first articulated frame and a second articulated frame, and the first articulated frame and the second articulated frame are parallel to each other and on the same straight line.
[0006] Preferably, the first articulated frame and the second articulated frame are both composed of a main body, a supporting base plate, a supporting vertical plate, and a hinge shaft. The supporting base plate is arranged at one end of the main body and is bent at a right angle to the main body; the two side walls adjacent to the main body and the supporting base plate are provided with supporting vertical plates, and the supporting vertical plates are bent in a direction away from the supporting base plate, and the supporting vertical plates are at a right angle to the main body; the hinge shaft is installed on one side of the main body, adjacent to the supporting base plate.
[0007] Preferably, a plurality of positioning blocks adapted to the first hinged frame and the second hinged frame are provided on one side of the mounting bracket.
[0008] Preferably, a plurality of limit blocks adapted to the adjustment bracket are provided on the outer side wall of the adjustment sleeve.
[0009] Preferably, the end of the adjustment sleeve facing the adjustment bracket is provided with a synapse surrounding the edge.
[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0011] 1. By optimizing the structural layout of the steering column, the center of the cross axis on the steering column is concentric with the angle adjustment center. At the same time, to reduce weight and improve installation rigidity, the mounting bracket structure is optimized to a frame type. This makes the steering column assembly simple in structure and light in weight, while still ensuring that the column rigidity and adjustment remain unchanged. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0019] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0020] The directional terms used in the detailed description are intended solely to facilitate understanding of the technical solutions described herein by those skilled in the art based on the visual orientation shown in the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "dispose," "install," and "connect" are to be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art will understand their specific meanings in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0021] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a steering column bracket includes a mounting bracket 100 and an adjustment bracket 200. The mounting bracket 100 is characterized by a groove 101 on one side, in which multiple parallel articulated brackets 110 are fixed. The adjustment bracket 200 is disposed on one side of the mounting bracket 100, and a plurality of hinged ears 201 protrude from the side facing the mounting bracket 100, which are adapted to mate with the articulated brackets 110. An adjustment sleeve 210 is also mounted on the side of the adjustment bracket 200 facing away from the hinged ears 201. In this way, the adjustment bracket 200 can be rotatably connected to the articulated bracket 110 mounted in the groove 101 of the mounting bracket 100 via the hinged ears 201, allowing the angle between the adjustment bracket 200 and the mounting bracket 100 to be adjusted to any desired angle. Furthermore, the adjustment sleeve 210 connected to the adjustment bracket 200 maintains the vehicle's steering column and the adjustment bracket 200 in a concentric state.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, the articulated frame 110 includes a first articulated frame 111 and a second articulated frame 112, and the first articulated frame 111 and the second articulated frame 112 are parallel to each other and on the same straight line. Thus, the first articulated frame 111 and the second articulated frame 112 are on the same straight line, so that the adjustment bracket 200 can be adjusted to any angle with the first articulated frame 111 and the second articulated frame 112 as the axis, so as to adapt to different adjustment ranges, thereby improving the applicability of the device.
[0023] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first hinge frame 111 and the second hinge frame 112 are each composed of a main body 113, a support base 114, a support upright 115, and a hinge shaft 116. The support base 114 is provided at one end of the main body 113 and is bent at a right angle to the main body 113. The two side walls of the main body 113 adjacent to the support base 114 are each provided with a support upright 115, which is bent away from the support base 114 and is at a right angle to the main body 113. The hinge shaft 116 is installed on one side of the main body 113, adjacent to the support base 114. Thus, the support upright 115 and the support base 114 effectively improve the connection strength between the first hinge frame 111 or the second hinge frame 112 and the mounting bracket 100, making it difficult for the first hinge frame 111 or the second hinge frame 112 to be displaced or detached from the mounting bracket when subjected to external forces. Thus, the connection strength between the first hinge frame 111 or the second hinge frame 112 and the mounting bracket 100 is effectively improved.
[0024] like Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, one side of the mounting bracket 100 is provided with a plurality of positioning blocks 102 adapted to the first articulated frame 111 and the second articulated frame 112. Thus, the positioning blocks 102 enable the first articulated frame 111 or the second articulated frame 112 to be quickly installed in a designated position, ensuring that the first articulated frame 111 or the second articulated frame 112 are aligned, thereby improving the adjustment accuracy of the adjustment bracket 200. Furthermore, the positioning blocks 102 also limit the first articulated frame 111 or the second articulated frame 112, preventing them from shifting relative to the mounting bracket 100 when subjected to external forces, further improving the stability of the connection between the first articulated frame 111 or the second articulated frame 112 and the mounting bracket 100.
[0025] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a plurality of limit blocks 211 adapted to the adjustment bracket 200 are provided on the outer side wall of the adjustment sleeve 210. In this way, when the adjustment sleeve 210 is connected to the adjustment bracket 200, the connection length of the adjustment sleeve 210 and the adjustment bracket 200 can be controlled by the limit blocks 211. This avoids the situation where the adjustment effect is poor or the adjustment fails due to the connection between the adjustment sleeve 210 and the adjustment bracket 200 being too long or too short. Thus, the adjustment stability of the adjustment sleeve 210 and the adjustment bracket 200 is improved. On the other hand, the adjustment sleeve 210 is fixedly connected to the adjustment bracket 200 by the limit blocks 211, which not only increases the contact area between the two, but also increases the fixing point position of the two. Therefore, the connection strength of the adjustment sleeve 210 and the adjustment bracket 200 is effectively improved.
[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, the end of the adjustment sleeve 210 facing the adjustment bracket 200 has a circumferential protrusion 212 at its edge. This protrusion 212 allows the steering column of the vehicle to be positioned so that it is always centered on the adjustment sleeve 210 and remains concentric with the adjustment sleeve 210 and the adjustment bracket 200.
[0027] Finally, although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
