Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steering wheels, in particular to an annular display screen for a steering wheel. Background Art
[0002] The modern automobile industry is developing more and more developed. You can see many cars anytime and anywhere. The steering wheel is one of the most important tools for driving a car. When driving a car, people often need to check the GPS for positioning and navigation. However, the general GPS screen is set between the main driver and the co-driver. The driver needs to turn his head to see it. Therefore, some cars have a display screen on the steering wheel to assist observation.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN 205769065 U discloses a steering wheel with a display screen, comprising a bracket, a speaker contact, a handle, a frame, and a bearing. An upper disc is mounted above the handle, and a lower disc is disposed below the handle. An airbag is mounted in the center of the frame, with the vehicle logo printed in the center. A turn signal indicator is disposed below the airbag. A steering wheel shaft is mounted within the bearing, and the bracket is fixed to the bearing. A display screen is mounted on the bracket, and a locking washer is connected below the shaft. This steering wheel with a display screen can display speed, GPS, and other information in real time while the car is in motion. The speaker contact near the outer circle allows the driver to control the car with a simple thumb press. The turn signal indicator on the steering wheel indicates the current turn signal status at all times, avoiding traffic problems. The detachable upper and lower discs can be moved out of the way when larger people enter the cab, improving usability.
[0004] Although the above-mentioned steering wheel with a display screen solves the problem of conveniently viewing the vehicle's driving information during driving, since the display screen is located on the steering wheel, there is no corresponding shielding around it, and light will directly shine on the screen. Therefore, when used in strong light conditions, it is easy to cause the screen to be dim, which is not conducive to observing the displayed content. For this reason, a ring-shaped display screen for a steering wheel is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, it is necessary to provide a circular display screen for a steering wheel to address the above technical problems, and to design a sunshade element on the surface of the circular display part. When the sun is strong, the sunshade can be moved to block the light at the edge of the circular display screen to reduce the situation where light directly hits the screen and makes it inconvenient to watch.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A circular display screen for a steering wheel, comprising a circular wheel handle and an airbag module disposed at the center of the circular wheel handle, wherein both sides of the airbag module are connected to side control portions for connection to the circular wheel handle, and the sides of the circular wheel handle are connected to a bottom control portion connected to the bottom of the airbag module. The steering wheel is characterized in that it further comprises an annular display portion, wherein the bottom of the annular display portion has an avoidance area, through which the annular display portion is assembled on the surface of the side control portion and adheres to the outer side of the airbag module;
[0008] The annular display portion includes an annular display screen and an annular shell arranged outside the annular display screen;
[0009] A sunshade element is slidably provided on the outer side of the annular shell, and the sunshade element is pushed on the surface of the annular shell to form sunshade for the annular display screen.
[0010] Furthermore, the sunshade element includes a sunshade cover, a slide groove is provided on the inner side of the sunshade cover, and a slider is fixed on the outer side of the annular shell at a position corresponding to the slide groove;
[0011] The sunshade is slidably matched with the slider on the annular shell through a sliding groove.
[0012] Furthermore, a storage position is provided at the edge of the front face of the annular shell, and a sunshade edge is extended from the sunshade cover.
[0013] Furthermore, the sunshade edge is adapted to the shape of the storage position, and the sliding sunshade cover can move the sunshade edge into the storage position for storage.
[0014] Furthermore, a storage groove is formed on a side of the sunshade facing the annular display screen, and a first metal block is embedded in the storage groove;
[0015] A first magnetic block is fixed at a position on the surface of the storage position corresponding to the position of the first metal block, and the first magnetic block can be magnetically attracted to the first metal block by moving the sunshade.
[0016] Furthermore, there are multiple storage slots.
[0017] Furthermore, there are multiple slide grooves, and the multiple slide grooves are distributed on the inner side of the sunshade at equal intervals in a circular manner.
[0018] Furthermore, a second metal block is embedded in one side of the slider, a second magnetic block is fixed to one side wall of the slide groove, and the second metal block can be magnetically attracted to the second magnetic block by moving the sunshade.
[0019] Furthermore, an L-shaped labyrinth block is fixed to the end of the sunshade edge, and a dustproof groove is formed between the L-shaped labyrinth block and the sunshade edge;
[0020] The movable sunshade can make the dustproof groove sleeved on the inner edge of the annular shell.
[0021] Furthermore, a sunshade step is formed between the front of the annular display screen and the front of the annular shell.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0023] The annular display screen for the steering wheel provided by the present invention is designed with a sunshade element on the outside of the annular display screen. In this way, when the light is strong, the sunshade can be slid to the outside of the annular display screen to block the external light and reduce the exposure to the screen. This can effectively improve the display effect of the screen during actual application and avoid unclear observation caused by direct light.
[0024] The sunshade edge design increases the sunshade range on the basis of the sunshade cover. In addition, the sunshade edge can be folded away when no sunshade is needed, maintaining the overall aesthetic coordination of the sunshade element and the annular display assembly.
[0025] Through the design of the second metal block, the second magnetic block, the first metal block and the first magnetic block, when the sunshade is moved for shading, the second metal block and the second magnetic block are attracted to form positioning in the sunshade state. At the same time, when the first metal block and the second magnetic block are attracted, the positioning of the cover can be achieved even when there is no need for shading.
