[0006] In this way, the pipe string is movably connected to the bracket and moves axially and changes angle based on the bracket. One side of the first adjustment component is connected to the driving member, so the driving member can act on the first adjustment component to move the first adjustment component in the first direction. Because the first adjustment component is connected to the pipe string, it can drive the pipe string to move in the first direction, thereby achieving axial adjustment. The first adjustment component is connected to the second adjustment component through a connecting member, so the movement of the first adjustment component can drive the connecting member to move. The connecting member then drives the second adjustment component to rotate through the connection with the second adjustment component. The second adjustment component is also connected to the pipe string, so when it rotates, it can also achieve angle adjustment of the pipe string. Therefore, one driving member can achieve axial movement and angle adjustment of the pipe string, reducing material and processing costs.

[0007] In one embodiment, the bracket includes a main body, a first base and a second base, the first base and the second base are both connected to the main body and are spaced apart in a first direction, the first adjustment component is connected to the first base, and the second adjustment component is connected to the second base.

[0008] In one embodiment, a first adjustment hole is provided on the first base, and the first adjustment assembly includes a first movable shaft and a drive seat. The first movable shaft is passed through the first adjustment hole and can move axially along the first adjustment hole in response to the drive of the drive member. The drive seat is connected to the first movable shaft, and the drive seat is connected to the pipe column.

[0009] In one embodiment, the first adjustment assembly further includes a steering member, the first movable shaft is arranged at an angle to the axis of the driving member, and the driving member and the first movable shaft are connected via the steering member.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first movable shaft is threadedly engaged with the first adjustment hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the second adjustment assembly further includes a rotating seat, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bracket, and the other end of which is connected to the connecting member, and can rotate in response to the movement of the first adjustment assembly.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second adjustment component further includes a second movable shaft and a matching seat, the second movable shaft is connected to the connecting member, and a second adjustment hole is opened on the matching seat, and the second movable shaft is inserted into the second adjustment hole.

[0013] In one embodiment, one end of the rotating seat is rotatably connected to the bracket via a rotating shaft, and the other end is provided with a rotating opening;

[0014] The matching seat includes a connecting portion and a matching portion, the connecting portion is provided with the second adjustment hole, the matching portion is connected to the connecting portion and extends into the rotating opening to movably match the rotating opening.

[0015] In one embodiment, the first adjustment component and the second adjustment component are respectively located on both sides of the width direction of the bracket;

[0016] The connecting member includes a first connecting segment, a second connecting segment and a third connecting segment. The first connecting segment is connected to the first adjustment component, the third connecting segment is connected to the second adjustment component, and both ends of the second connecting segment are respectively connected to the first connecting segment and the third connecting segment.

[0017] In one embodiment, along the direction from the first connecting segment to the third connecting segment, the width of the second connecting segment in the first direction gradually decreases.

[0028] See Figure 1-Figure 2 The present invention provides an automobile column adjustment structure 100 , which can realize axial adjustment and angular adjustment of the column 20 through a single driving member 60 , thereby reducing the cost of the electric adjustment method of the column 20 .

[0029] The automobile column adjustment structure 100 includes a bracket 10, a column 20, a driving member 60, a first adjustment assembly 30, a second adjustment assembly 40 and a connecting member 50. The column 20 is movably connected to the bracket 10 and is used to connect to the automobile steering wheel. The driving member 60 is fixedly installed on the bracket 10. One side of the first adjustment assembly 30 is connected to the driving member 60, and the other side is connected to the column 20. The first adjustment assembly 30 is configured to be able to move along a first direction relative to the bracket 10 in response to the drive of the driving member 60. The second adjustment assembly 40 is connected to the column 20 and can rotate at an angle relative to the first direction. One end of the connecting member 50 is connected to the first adjustment assembly 30, and the other end is connected to the second adjustment assembly 40.

[0030] In this manner, the tubular column 20 is movably connected to the bracket 10 and can move axially and change angle based on the bracket 10. One side of the first adjustment assembly 30 is connected to a driver 60, so the driver 60 can act on the first adjustment assembly 30, causing the first adjustment assembly 30 to move in the first direction. Because the first adjustment assembly 30 is connected to the tubular column 20, it can also drive the tubular column 20 to move in the first direction, thereby achieving axial adjustment. The first adjustment assembly 30 is connected to the second adjustment assembly 40 via a connector 50, so movement of the first adjustment assembly 30 drives movement of the connector 50. The connector 50, in turn, drives rotation of the second adjustment assembly 40 through its connection with the tubular column 20. The second adjustment assembly 40 is also connected to the tubular column 20, so its rotation can also achieve angular adjustment of the tubular column 20. Therefore, a single driver 60 can achieve both axial movement and angular adjustment of the tubular column 20, reducing material and processing costs.

[0031] It should be explained that, in this embodiment, the first direction refers to the axial direction of the pipe string, that is, the length direction of the pipe string.

[0032] The bracket 10 includes a main body 11, a first base 12, and a second base 13. The first base 12 and the second base 13 are both connected to the main body 11 and spaced apart in the axial direction of the main body 11. The first adjustment assembly 30 is connected to the first base 12, and the second adjustment assembly 40 is connected to the second base 13. As such, since the first base 12 and the second base 13 are spaced apart in the first direction, the first adjustment assembly 30 and the second adjustment assembly 40 are spaced apart and move at a distance to avoid interference with each other.

[0033] A first adjustment hole 121 is defined in the first base 12. The first adjustment assembly 30 includes a first movable shaft 31 and a drive seat 32. The first movable shaft 31 passes through the first adjustment hole 121 and is capable of axially moving along the first adjustment hole 121 in response to the drive of the driver 60. The drive seat 32 is connected to the first movable shaft 31, and the drive seat 32 is also connected to the pipe string 20. Thus, the driver 60 drives the first movable shaft 31 to move in the first direction. The first adjustment hole 121 guides the first movable shaft 31. The first movable shaft 31 moves in the first adjustment hole 121 and drives the drive seat 32 to move. The drive seat 32 then drives the pipe string 20 in the first direction, achieving axial adjustment of the pipe string 20.

[0034] Furthermore, the first adjustment assembly 30 further includes a steering member 33. The first movable shaft 31 is arranged at an angle to the axis of the driving member 60, and the driving member 60 and the first movable shaft 31 are connected via the steering member 33. Thus, the driving member 60 drives the movement of the first movable shaft 31 via the steering member 33. Furthermore, the first movable shaft 31 and the driving member 60 are arranged at an angle, thereby making their layout more flexible and reducing the space occupied.

[0035] Specifically, the first movable shaft 31 is threadedly engaged with the first adjustment hole 121 , so the control of the movement of the first movable shaft 31 in the first adjustment hole 121 is more flexible and precise.

[0036] In this embodiment, the outer circumference of the first movable shaft 31 is provided with an external thread, and the first adjustment hole 121 is provided with an internal thread. The first movable shaft 31 rotates within the first adjustment hole 121, and the threads engage during rotation, thereby moving along the axis of the first adjustment hole 121. The driving member 60 is configured as a motor. The rotation of the motor is converted by the steering member 33 into rotation of the first movable shaft 31, and then converted into axial movement of the first movable shaft 31 within the first adjustment hole 121.

[0037] The second adjustment component 40 also includes a rotating seat 43, one end of which is rotatably connected to the bracket 10, that is, the rotating seat 43 can rotate around this point, and the other end of the rotating seat 43 is connected to the connecting member 50, and can rotate in response to the movement of the first adjustment component 30. The movement of the first adjustment component 30 drives the connecting member 50 to move, and then drives the rotating seat 43 to rotate through the moving member.

[0038] The second adjustment assembly 40 also includes a second movable shaft 41 and a mating seat 42. The second movable shaft 41 is connected to the connector 50. The mating seat 42 defines a second adjustment hole, through which the second movable shaft 41 passes. This second adjustment hole guides the movement of the second movable shaft 41, improving the stability of its actuation.

[0039] In this embodiment, an external thread is provided on the outer peripheral side of the second movable shaft 41, and an internal thread is provided in the second adjustment hole. The second movable shaft 41 is threadedly engaged with the mating seat 42 and rotates in the second adjustment hole to achieve movement along the second adjustment hole and ensure accurate adjustment of the angle.

[0040] In other embodiments, the first movable shaft 31 and the second movable shaft 41 can achieve axial movement through other means, not limited to the aforementioned threaded engagement. For example, a protrusion can be provided on the outer circumference of the first movable shaft 31 and / or the second movable shaft 41, and a guide groove can be provided within the first adjustment hole 121 and / or the second adjustment hole to guide the movement direction of the first movable shaft 31 and the second movable shaft 41. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the driving member 60 can also be configured as a telescopic push rod rather than a rotary motor.

[0041] One end of the rotating seat 43 is provided with a rotating opening 431, and the other end is rotatably connected to the bracket 10 via a rotating shaft. The matching seat 42 includes a connecting portion 421 and a matching portion 422. The connecting portion 421 is provided with a second adjustment hole. The matching portion 422 is connected to the connecting portion 421 and extends into the rotating opening 431, movably engaging with the rotating opening 431. In this way, as the matching seat 42 moves along the second movable axis 41, the position between the matching seat 42 and the rotating seat 43 shifts. Since the end of the rotating seat 43 away from the matching seat 42 is rotatably connected to the bracket 10, the axial position of the end of the rotating seat 43 rotatably connected to the bracket 10 is fixed, and the rotating seat 43 can only rotate about this point. The matching portion 422 extends into the rotating opening 431. As the matching seat 42 is displaced as a whole, the matching portion 422 can move and rotate in the rotating opening 431, thereby allowing the rotating seat 43 to rotate, thereby achieving angle adjustment of the pipe column 20.

[0042] The first adjustment assembly 30 and the second adjustment assembly 40 are located on either side of the bracket 10 in the width direction. The connector 50 includes a first connecting section 51, a second connecting section 52, and a third connecting section 53. The first connecting section 51 is connected to the first adjustment assembly 30, the third connecting section 53 is connected to the second adjustment assembly 40, and the ends of the second connecting section 52 are connected to the first connecting section 51 and the third connecting section 53, respectively. This ensures that the first adjustment assembly 30 and the second adjustment assembly 40 are separated by a sufficient distance in the width direction of the bracket 10. This allows them to be separated on either side of the bracket 10 when subjected to force, ensuring a more balanced force on the bracket 10.

[0043] Furthermore, the width of the second connecting section 52 in the first direction gradually decreases along the direction from the first connecting section 51 to the third connecting section 53. In this way, the consumables of the connecting member 50 can be reduced while reducing the processing cost and ensuring the structural strength.

[0044] In this embodiment, since the driving seat 32 of the first adjusting component 30 is set as a plate-like structure, the first connecting section 51 is adapted to the first connecting section 51 and is also set as a plate-like structure, and the third connecting section 53 is adapted to the second movable shaft 41 of the second adjusting component 40 and is set as a cylindrical sleeve structure, so the connection with the second movable shaft 41 is more stable.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, the present invention uses a driving member 60 to simultaneously drive the first adjusting assembly 30 and the second adjusting assembly 40 to rotate. The first adjusting assembly 30 is used for axial movement of the pipe column 20, and the second adjusting assembly 40 is used for angular adjustment of the pipe column 20. Therefore, the axial adjustment and angular adjustment of the pipe column 20 do not need to be decoupled into two separate drive system controls, thereby reducing the material cost and processing cost of the automobile pipe column adjustment structure 100.

[0046] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
