Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile parts, in particular to a steering shield with a pre-installation structure. Background Art
[0002] Conventional technology often relies on direct, aligned mounting of steering guards and combination switches. This method is prone to misalignment during installation, resulting in an unstable assembly or poor performance. Furthermore, conventional steering guard designs lack effective pre-installation mechanisms to prevent misalignment, increasing assembly complexity and cost. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the utility model provides a steering shield with a pre-installed structure. The shield achieves precise matching with the combination switch through the pre-installed structure, effectively preventing misalignment during the installation process.
[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose of the utility model, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:
[0005] A steering shield with a pre-installed structure, the steering shield comprising an upper shield and a lower shield, the upper shield and the lower shield surrounding and mounted on a steering column mounting body, the steering column mounting body being used to mount a combination switch, the upper shield and the lower shield being engaged and fixed to each other and to the steering column mounting body;
[0006] The steering column mounting body is provided with a fixing column, which is connected with a positioning platform provided on the inner side of the steering shield. The positioning platform is provided with a guide groove, which is used for installation guidance and pre-installation of the fixing column.
[0007] Furthermore, the positioning platform is arranged on the upper shield and / or the lower shield, and is pre-installed and fixed to the fixing column on the steering column mounting body respectively.
[0008] The fixing column and the positioning platform are fastened by screws after being matched and fixed.
[0009] The guide groove is on the top of the positioning platform and protrudes upwards and is arranged as a claw-shaped structure for pre-installation with the fixing column.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper shield and the lower shield are fixed together by a snap-fit structure, and the snap-fit structure includes a buckle and a U-shaped clip.
[0011] The upper shield and / or the lower shield are provided with limiting ribs, which prevent the upper shield and the lower shield from being misaligned during the installation process.
[0012] Reinforcing ribs are arranged inside the steering shield to improve its structural hardness.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixing column is provided with a stud structure, the positioning platform is provided with an internal thread structure, and the positioning platform is rotatably provided on the lower shield, and the connection and fixation with the fixing column are achieved by the rotation of the positioning platform.
[0014] Beneficial Effects: Compared to the prior art, the steering guard provided by the present invention features a pre-installed structure that allows for pre-fixation and docking during installation, preventing errors. This pre-installed structure allows for precise alignment of the combination switch and steering guard, effectively preventing misalignment during installation. Furthermore, the pre-installed structure simplifies the installation process, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces assembly costs. The pre-installed structure's initial positioning and guidance ensures a secure connection between the combination switch and steering guard, enhancing stability and safety. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
[0015] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the combined structure of the steering shield of the present invention;
[0016] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the installation of the lower shield described in the utility model;
[0017] Figure 3 It is a structural diagram of the lower shield. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0018] In order to illustrate the technical solution disclosed by the present utility model in detail, a further introduction is given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0019] See also Figure 1-3 As shown, the utility model provides a steering shield with a pre-installed structure. The steering shield is located at the lower end of the car steering wheel and is used to encapsulate and surround the steering column mounting body 3, making it beautiful while protecting the internal mechanism. Based on the steering column mounting body 3, control mechanisms including turn signals, wipers, and gear adjustment devices are installed.
[0020] The middle part of the steering column mounting body 3 is fixed on the steering column. The steering shield adopts a split structure, including an upper shield 1 and a lower shield 2. The upper shield 1 and the lower shield 2 are respectively located above and below the steering column mounting body 3. The upper shield 1 and the lower shield 2 are semi-enclosed on the steering column mounting body 3, and the side is left empty for setting the adjustment combination switch 4. For the installation of the steering shield, we take the installation of the lower shield 2 as an example. First, the guide groove 501 on the positioning platform 5 is aligned with the fixed column 301 on the steering column mounting body 3. The positioning platform 5 is a protruding and elongated structure for easy docking. The guide groove 501 includes a claw type, an open type, or an inverted cone type, which guides the fixed column 301 to better fall into its groove and then cooperate with the positioning platform 5. Then, it can be initially fixed with screws to prevent the lower shield 2 from falling. Furthermore, the lower shield 2 and the upper shield 1 are installed by a snap-fit mechanism, and the installation method includes snapping together the buckle 6, the U-shaped clip 7 and the structure that cooperates with it to complete the fixation.
[0021] For the pre-installed structure, including the fixing column 3, the positioning platform 5, and the guide groove 501, compared with the traditional screws used to fasten the steering shield, the utility model can also set the positioning platform 5 to an internal thread structure (hollow) and the fixing column 3 to a stud structure. The positioning platform 5 can be rotatably fixed on the lower shield 2, and the fixing column 3 is directly fixed by the rotation of the positioning platform 5, avoiding the connection of screws.
[0022] The upper guard 1 can be initially fixed using the same pre-installed structure as the lower guard 2, and then snap-fitted with the lower guard 2. To avoid misalignment during the mating process between the upper and lower guards 1 and 2, especially after tightening, limiting ribs 8 are provided on the guard 1 or the lower guard 2. The limiting ribs 8 protrude from the edge of the lower guard 2 and fit tightly with the grooves on the upper guard 1. To improve the hardness and support of the steering guard, reinforcing ribs 9 are provided inside the upper or lower guard 1 or 2.
