[0022] The utility model will be further explained in conjunction with example, but not as the limitation of the utility model.
[0023] Please combine Figures 1 to 7 Shown, this embodiment relates to vehicle and include steering column and combined switch 1, and steering column cover is equipped with steering column shroud, and steering column shroud includes shroud body upper portion 2 and shroud body lower portion 3.
[0024] The upper shield body 2 is above the combination switch 1, and the lower shield body 3 is below the combination switch 1. The upper shield body 2 and the lower shield body 3 are both injection molded. The upper shield body 2 is formed with a plug plate 201 extending downward during injection molding. The back side of the plug plate 201 is provided with a front-to-back pin column 202. The size of the pin column 202 matches the size of the mounting hole 101a on the screw mounting column 101 of the combination switch 1.
[0025] When the upper shield body 2 is mounted and matched with the combination switch 1 from top to bottom, the plug plate 201 is bent and deformed forward, and then the pin column 202 is inserted into the mounting hole 101a on the screw mounting column 101 of the combination switch 1.
[0026] The lower shield body 3 is connected with the upper shield body 2 by a plurality of buckles. Specifically, a plurality of buckle rings 203 are arranged on the lower edge of the upper shield body 2, and some guide grooves 204 are formed between the buckle rings 203. A plurality of clamping tongues 301 and guide protruding tongues 302 are arranged on the upper edge of the lower shield body 3. In addition, a clamping hole 205 is arranged on the front wall of the upper shield body 2, and a clamping joint 303 extending upward is arranged on the front wall of the lower shield body 3. When the lower shield body 3 is connected with the upper shield body 2, the guide protruding tongues 302 are aligned with the guide grooves 204, and the guide grooves 204 guide the upward movement direction of the lower shield body 3. Finally, the clamping tongues 301 are clamped into the openings of the buckle rings 203, and the clamping joint 303 is clamped into the clamping hole 205, thereby completing the mounting and connection of the lower shield body 3 and the upper shield body 2.
[0027] A limiting portion 304 protruding rearward is arranged on the back side of the front wall of the lower shield body 3. After the lower shield body 3 is connected and mounted with the upper shield body 2, the rear end of the limiting portion 304 abuts against the front side of the plug plate 201. Thus, when the lower shield body 3 is not removed, the plug plate 201 cannot be bent and deformed forward, so that the pin column 202 can be stably located in the mounting hole 101a on the screw mounting column 101, achieving the same firmness as the screw.
[0028] In order to further ensure stability, as a preferred embodiment, a wedge-shaped structure 201a is arranged at the lower end of the plug plate 201. The top of the wedge-shaped structure 201a protrudes forward from the plug plate 201. The lower shield body 3 and the upper shield body 2 are connected and matched in the upward direction, and the limiting portion 304 is located above the wedge-shaped structure 201a. Thus, the top of the wedge-shaped structure 201a limits the downward movement of the limiting portion 304, and cooperates with the clamping structure on the front wall of the lower shield body 3 and the upper shield body 2 to form a front-to-back clamping.
[0029] In addition, a plurality of first reinforcing ribs 206 are arranged on the circumferential side of the pin column 202. When the pin column 202 is inserted into the mounting hole 101a, the end surface of the first reinforcing rib 206 abuts against the end surface of the screw mounting column 101, thereby enhancing the strength of the pin column 202 and ensuring accurate positioning and improving the combination degree. A second reinforcing rib 207 is arranged between the front side of the latch plate 201 and the upper part 2 of the shroud body, thereby improving the bending strength of the latch plate 201 and ensuring the combination stability of the whole installation when used for a long time.
