Specific implementation

[0028] The principles and features of the utility model are described below in combination with the drawings, and the examples are only used to explain the utility model and not used to limit the scope of the utility model.

[0029] It should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "mounting", "connected", "connected" should be broadly understood, for example, it can be fixedly connected, it can also be detachably connected, and it can also be an integral structure. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of such terms in this patent can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0030] As Figures 1-3 The utility model discloses a steering wheel corner sensor measurement structure, including gear wheel 1, gear 2 and pinion 3, the hollow fixed groove that is reserved in gear wheel 1 is adapted with the steering wheel main shaft, gear 2 and pinion 3 are engaged with gear wheel 1 separately.

[0032] As an implementation mode, the gear wheel 1, the gear 2 and the pinion 3 are distributed with the same horizontal plane.

[0033] As an implementation mode, the gear number ratio of the gear wheel 1, the gear 2 and the pinion 3 is 46:26:24.

[0034] As an implementation form, the inner wall of the hollow fixing groove of the large gear 1 is provided with a plurality of guide protrusions 1.1.

[0035] Specifically, the inner wall of the hollow fixing groove of the large gear 1 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 1.2; the guide protrusions 1.1 and the guide grooves 1.2 are uniformly distributed in cross.

[0036] The large gear 1, the medium gear 2 and the small gear 3 are all distributed on the same horizontal plane, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the gear transmission. At the same time, the gear number ratio of the large gear 1, the medium gear 2 and the small gear 3 is designed as 46:26:24, through reasonable gear number ratio distribution, the measurement angle range can be widened and the stability of angle data output can be improved. In addition, the inner wall of the hollow fixing groove of the large gear 1 is provided with a plurality of guide protrusions 1.1 and guide grooves 1.2, and the two are uniformly distributed in cross. This design not only increases the contact area and connection strength of the large gear 1 and the steering shaft, but also provides additional positioning and guiding functions, ensuring that the large gear 1 can remain stable during rotation, thereby improving the reliability and accuracy of the entire sensor measurement structure.

At the same time, the large gear 1 is also provided with a buckle 5, which is used to further secure the steering wheel main shaft and ensure that the connection between the large gear 1 and the steering wheel main shaft is more stable and reliable. These designs work together to enable the steering wheel angle sensor measurement structure to achieve efficient and stable transmission connection with the steering wheel main shaft, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the measurement.

[0043] As shown in Figure 4 The utility model discloses also designs a kind of angle sensor, including main casing 100, steering wheel main shaft 200 and steering wheel angle sensor measurement structure.
