Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to tooling technical field, in particular to a magnesium alloy steering wheel riveting tool. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the rapid development of automobile industry, electric, hybrid, oil and gas vehicles each show their unique skills, the acceleration performance of the automobile is faster and faster, the appearance, modeling is more and more beautiful, the internal decoration, facility is more and more complex and various, and the sense of technology is higher and higher. Steering wheel as an essential component in the automobile is also changing. Magnesium alloy as the lightest structural material has low density, high specific strength, high damping characteristics, high shock absorption and unique performance of noise reduction, and has the characteristics of good casting forming, good machining and surface decoration performance and easy recycling in the steering wheel of the automobile industry. Therefore, the magnesium alloy material is applied to the automobile steering wheel skeleton, and the traditional steel, aluminum alloy and other materials are replaced, which has the important significance of energy saving and emission reduction and carbon neutralization.
[0003] The magnesium alloy steering wheel structure is complex, therefore mainly adopts the method of die casting forming, which contains several steering wheel horn contacts, and the horn contacts control the circuit of the automobile horn. Specifically, when the driver presses the horn button on the steering wheel, the circuit is closed, allowing current to flow from the positive terminal of the battery, through the horn, and back to the negative terminal of the battery, so that the horn sounds. In this process, the design of the contact ensures the correct flow of current and realizes the control function of the horn. The design of the contact follows the characteristics of the automobile circuit, that is, direct current, low voltage, single line system and negative pole grounding. In the single line system, the positive pole is connected through the wire harness, and the negative pole is connected through the metal parts such as the vehicle body to serve as grounding. Therefore, the horn button on the steering wheel is not used for grounding, but as a switch to control the on-off of the current, so as to realize the on-demand sounding of the horn. If the height of the horn contact rivet is inconsistent, the contact gap will also be different, and the driver's light and heavy feeling will be inconsistent, thereby affecting the evaluation of the operation of the automobile.
