[0002] A centrally installed torque steering wheel can ensure a more sensitive and accurate steering response while the vehicle is driving, especially when operating in the "center area" of the steering wheel (that is, the area with smaller steering wheel angles). For the driver, this means being able to react faster in emergency situations, improving driving safety. If the steering wheel is not installed accurately, it may cause the vehicle to deviate during driving. Central installation can ensure that the steering wheel is aligned with the center of the steering shaft, thereby avoiding this situation and maintaining the vehicle's straight-line driving stability. The significance of centrally installing the torque steering wheel is to ensure driving safety and controllability, enhance driving experience and comfort, and protect vehicle performance and service life.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a torque steering wheel centering installation tool, which includes a calibration mechanism 1 and a control mechanism 2.

[0029] The calibration mechanism 1 includes a first support rod 11, a connecting rod 12 and a second support rod 13. A suction cup 14 is installed at one end of the first support rod 11, and the other end is connected to one end of the connecting rod 12. The other end of the connecting rod 12 is connected to the second support rod 13. A laser emitter 15 is provided on the second support rod 13.

[0030] The two control mechanisms 2 are respectively installed at the connection ends of the connecting rod 12 and the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 13, and are respectively used to control the relative rotation or fixation of the connecting rod 12 and the first support rod 11 and the second support rod 13.

[0031] During specific use, the suction cup 14 is attached to the vehicle windshield, and the positions of the first support rod 11, the connecting rod 12, and the second support rod 13 are adjusted by rotation so that the laser of the laser emitter 15 can stably illuminate a point on the torque steering wheel. When the torque steering wheel rotates, if the laser irradiation point of the laser emitter 15 can maintain a constant distance from the center of the torque steering wheel, it means that the torque steering wheel is successfully centered. Otherwise, adjustment is required. The utility model is easy to adjust. The suction cup 14 is attached to the vehicle windshield to form a stable support. By adjusting the calibration mechanism 1 so that the laser emitter 15 can illuminate a point on the torque steering wheel, a positioning reference is provided for the operator, helping the operator to more efficiently install the torque steering wheel in the center, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the torque steering wheel.

[0032] In one embodiment, the control mechanism 2 includes a first rotating block 21 and a second rotating block 22. The first rotating block 21 is mounted at the end of the first support rod 11 or the second support rod 13, and the second rotating block 22 is mounted at the end of the connecting rod 12. The first rotating block 21 is provided with a rotating chamber 211 with one side open. A first retaining ring 23 is provided on the inner wall of the open rotating chamber 211. A rotating column 24 is provided on one side of the second rotating block 22, which movably passes through the first retaining ring 23. A second retaining ring 25 is provided on the outer side of one end of the rotating column 24 located in the rotating chamber 211. Preferably, the size of the rotating column 24 is adapted to the inner ring size of the first retaining ring 23, and the size of the second retaining ring 25 is adapted to the inner cavity size of the rotating chamber 211, so as to improve the stability of the first rotating block 21 and the second rotating block 22 during relative rotation. An operating port 212 is provided on the side of the first rotating block 21 away from the first retaining ring 23, and a cam 26 is rotatably mounted within the operating port 212. During use, by moving the cam 26, the raised end of the cam 26 can be rotated toward or away from the end face of the rotating column 24. When the raised end of the cam 26 gradually rotates toward the end face of the rotating column 24, the second retaining ring 25 can be gradually pushed toward the first retaining ring 23. When the raised end of the cam 26 abuts the end face of the rotating column 24, the second retaining ring 25 and the first retaining ring 23 are pressed against each other, thereby clamping the second retaining ring 25 between the cam 26 and the first retaining ring 23, thereby achieving relative fixation between the first rotating block 21 and the second rotating block 22. It should be noted that the distance between the inner wall of the rotating cavity 211 on the side away from the first retaining ring 23 and the first retaining ring 23 should be greater than the thickness of the second retaining ring 25 to ensure that the second retaining ring 25 will not be stuck in the rotating cavity 211 when the raised end of the cam 26 does not abut against the end face of the rotating column 24.

[0033] Preferably, the first contact piece 231 and the second contact piece 251 are respectively provided on the side close to each other of the first butt ring 23 and the second butt ring 25. The first contact piece 231 and the second contact piece 251 can be made of a rubber material with greater friction or an anti-slip layer is provided on its surface. When the first butt ring 23 and the second butt ring 25 are close to each other, the first contact piece 231 and the second contact piece 251 can be pressed against each other to increase friction.

[0034] Preferably, a ring groove 232 is provided on the side of the first resisting ring 23 close to the second resisting ring 25, and a resisting piece 233 is axially slidably installed in the ring groove 232. A spring 234 is connected between the resisting piece 233 and the bottom wall of the ring groove 232. The spring 234 can provide an elastic force to push the resisting piece 233 out of the ring groove 232. A contact ring block 252 that abuts against the resisting piece 233 is provided on the side of the second resisting ring 25 close to the first resisting ring 23. When the second resisting ring 25 is not pushed toward the first resisting ring 23 by the cam 26, the spring 234 can push the second resisting ring 25 away from the first resisting ring 23 to prevent the two from contacting and hindering each other's rotation.

[0035] Preferably, a paddle 261 is provided on the portion of the cam 26 outside the operating opening 212 to facilitate the rotation of the cam 26 .

[0036] Furthermore, a limit block 27 is provided on the outer side of the operating port 212. When the paddle 261 abuts against the limit block 27, the raised end of the cam 26 will abut against the end face of the rotating column 24. When the paddle 261 moves away from the limit block 27, the raised end of the cam 26 will also move away from the end face of the rotating column 24, so that the operator can easily confirm whether the state of the first rotating block 21 and the second rotating block 22 is relatively movable or fixed.

[0037] In one embodiment, a U-shaped buckle 111 is provided at one end of the first support rod 11 away from the connecting rod 12, a mounting block 141 is installed on the back of the suction cup 14, a screw 142 is provided on the side of the mounting block 141 away from the suction cup 14, and a locking nut 143 is screwed on the screw 142. The screw 142 can move through the inner side of the U-shaped buckle 111, and the U-shaped buckle 111 is clamped between the mounting block 141 and the locking nut 143. The screw 142 can rotate axially in the U-shaped buckle 111 to adjust the position of the calibration mechanism 1. By rotating the locking nut 143, the U-shaped buckle 111 can be clamped between the mounting block 141 and the locking nut 143 and then fixed.

[0038] Preferably, a sleeve 151 is provided on the laser emitter 15, and the sleeve 151 is movably placed on the second support rod 13. The sleeve 151 can slide or rotate axially on the second support rod 13, and a locking stud 152 is screwed on the outer thread of the sleeve 151. The inner end of the locking stud 152 can be abutted against the second support rod 13. Tightening the locking stud 152 can fix the sleeve 151 on the second support rod 13.
