Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering wheel technology, and in particular to an integrated steering wheel display mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] As modern automobile manufacturing and driving experiences continue to advance, the steering wheel, as a crucial component of the interaction between the driver and the vehicle, is also undergoing continuous design and technological evolution. Traditional steering wheels typically offer only basic steering functions, but with technological advancements, more and more functions are being integrated into them, such as audio controls and cruise control. However, most of these functions are implemented through buttons or switches, failing to fully utilize the steering wheel's spatial potential to provide the driver with more useful information.

[0003] Some high-end vehicles on the market today have attempted to embed displays into the dashboard or other locations to show various driving-related information, such as speed, engine RPM, and navigation instructions. However, the position of these displays is fixed, requiring the driver to frequently switch their gaze between the road ahead and the dashboard when turning the steering wheel. This not only increases visual strain but can also lead to distraction and pose a safety hazard.

[0004] Furthermore, existing integrated display solutions often face the problem of complex wiring. Since the display components must rotate with the wheel rim, their internal wiring also needs to be flexible enough to ensure that twisting will not cause open circuits or other malfunctions during long-term use. At the same time, to ensure a good user experience, the display interface also needs to remain stable and unaffected by steering wheel rotation.

[0005] In conclusion, an integrated steering wheel display mechanism is needed to address the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an integrated steering wheel display mechanism, aiming to solve the aforementioned problems.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrated steering wheel display mechanism, comprising a base, a rim, and a main body, and further comprising a cover for maintaining a fixed direction when the rim rotates. The cover is connected to the main body, and a display component is mounted on the cover. A transmission component is connected to the base, and the transmission component is connected to the rim. The bottom of the main body is connected to the base. Through the ingenious structural design of the transmission component and the display component, the position of the display component does not change when the rim rotates. Therefore, this integrated steering wheel display component allows for viewing relevant driving information without affecting the steering wheel rotation, and the wiring of the display component can be flexibly designed.

[0008] Furthermore, the transmission assembly includes a rotating sleeve, an external gear, an internal gear, and a bearing. The rotating sleeve is connected to the wheel rim. The external gear and the bearing are both mounted on the rotating sleeve. The external gear meshes with the internal gear. The internal gear is located directly above the tube column opening and is connected to the tube column via a transmission connection. The rotating sleeve is connected to the boss via a bearing. The bearing is sleeved on the outside of the boss and connected to the outer step.

[0009] Furthermore, the base includes a base plate, a boss, a wiring port, and a column port. The boss is disposed on the base plate, and the wiring port and the column port both pass through the boss and the base plate from top to bottom. The wiring port is used for convenient wiring of the display components, and the column port is used for passing through the column and connecting to the transmission components.

[0010] Furthermore, a positioning groove is provided on the side of the protrusion near the wire insertion port, the positioning groove is used to position the mounting body, and an outer step is provided on the protrusion.

[0011] Furthermore, the display component includes a display screen, a motherboard, and wires. The display screen is installed inside the cover, and the display screen is connected to the wires via the motherboard. The bottom end of the wires passes through a through-hole to the outside of the base.

[0012] Furthermore, a protective cover is installed on the cover to provide physical protection for the outside of the display screen.

[0013] Furthermore, a press-type support is provided between the cover and the main body.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] 1. In this utility model, through the ingenious structural design of the ground transmission component and the display component, the position of the display component does not change when the wheel rim is rotated. Thus, the integrated steering wheel display component can be used to view relevant driving information without affecting the steering wheel rotation, and the wiring of the display component can be flexibly designed.

[0016] 2. In this utility model, the ground transmission component is composed of a rotating sleeve, an external gear, an internal gear, and a bearing. The rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the boss of the base through the bearing. At the same time, the rotating sleeve also transmits the rotational force to the internal gear meshing with its inner edge through the external gear fixedly connected to its inner side. This causes the internal gear to drive the tube column installed in the tube column opening to rotate synchronously, and then the tube column transmits the force generated by the rotation of the wheel flange to the steering mechanism of the motor vehicle.

[0017] 3. In this utility model, by setting the floor cover to be installed on the main body, and the bottom of the main body is installed on the positioning groove opened near the wire threading port on the top of the boss through the connecting rod, the main body, the cover and the display component provided on the cover remain in the same position, so that the driving information on the display screen can be observed very conveniently, and the relative position of the inner and outer gears does not change, so that the wire threading port always remains in the same position and can be threaded normally. It has certain use value and promotion value. Attached Figure Description

The cover 4 is connected to the main body 3, and a display component 41 is installed on the cover 4. A transmission component 5 is connected to the base 1. The transmission component 5 is also used to connect to the steering mechanism of the motor vehicle. The transmission component 5 is connected to the rim 2, and the bottom of the main body 3 is connected to the base 1.

[0029] As one implementation method, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 includes a base plate 11, a boss 12, a wire through port 13, and a column port 14. The boss 12 is located on the base plate 11. The wire through port 13 and the column port 14 both pass through the boss 12 and the base plate 11 from top to bottom. The wire through port 13 is used for convenient wiring of the display component 41, and the column port 14 is used for passing through the column 55 and connecting the transmission component 5.

[0030] In one embodiment, a positioning groove 121 is provided on the side of the boss 12 near the wire hole 13. The positioning groove 121 is used to position the mounting body 3. An outer step 122 is provided on the boss 12.

[0031] As one implementation method, such as Figure 4As shown, the transmission assembly 5 includes a rotating sleeve 51, an external gear 52, an internal gear 53, and a bearing 54. The rotating sleeve 51 is connected to the wheel rim 2. The external gear 52 and the bearing 54 are both mounted on the rotating sleeve 51. The external gear 52 meshes with the internal gear 53. The internal gear 53 is located directly above the column opening 14 and is connected to the column 55. The rotating sleeve 51 is connected to the boss 12 through the bearing 54. The bearing 54 is sleeved on the outside of the boss 12 and connected to the outer step 122.

[0032] In one embodiment, the top end of the column 55 passes through the column opening 14 and is connected to the internal gear 53. The column 55 is connected to the external gear 52 through the internal gear 53. The end of the column 55 away from the internal gear 53 passes through the column opening 14 to the outside of the base 1 and is connected to the steering shaft of the car.

[0033] As one implementation method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the display component 41 includes a display screen 411, a motherboard 412, and a wire 413. The display screen 411 is installed on the inside of the cover 4. The display screen 411 is connected to the wire 413 through the motherboard 412. The bottom end of the wire 413 passes through the wire hole 13 to the outside of the base 1.

[0034] In one implementation, two positioning slots 121 are provided, which are used to provide the positioning support points required for the main body 3 to be installed on the base 1.

[0035] In one embodiment, a connecting rod 31 is fixedly provided at the bottom of the main body 3. The bottom end of the connecting rod 31 is used to connect to the positioning groove 121. The main body 3 is positioned and installed on the positioning groove 121 opened on the top of the boss 12 through the connecting rod 31.

[0036] In one embodiment, a protective cover 42 is installed on the cover 4, which is used to provide physical protection for the outside of the display screen 411.

[0037] In one embodiment, a press-type support 34 is provided between the cover 4 and the main body 3. The press-type support 34 serves as the support and press-rebound structure for the cover 4. The cover 4 is directly fixed to the base 1 through the main body 3. Thus, when the wheel rim 2 rotates, the main body 3, the cover 4, and the display component 41 provided on the cover 4 remain in the same position, so that the driving information on the display screen 411 can be viewed very conveniently.

[0038] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: During use, the driver turns the steering wheel, causing the wheel rim 2 to drive the transmission assembly 5 to synchronously adjust the vehicle's steering mechanism (the steering mechanism is a common steering shaft in automotive transmission systems, not shown in the figure). Specifically, during the adjustment process, the rotating sleeve 51 is rotatably connected to the boss 12 of the base 1 via the bearing 54. Simultaneously, the rotating sleeve 51 also transmits the rotational force to the internal gear 53 meshing with its inner edge via the external gear 52 fixedly connected to its inner side (see reference). Figure 5 This causes the internal gear 53 to drive the tube column 55 installed in the tube column opening 14 to rotate synchronously. The tube column 55 then transmits the force generated by the rotation of the wheel flange to the steering mechanism of the motor vehicle. At the same time, the cover 4 is installed on the main body 3. The bottom of the main body 3 is installed on the positioning groove 121 opened on the top of the boss 12 near the wire threading opening 13 through the connecting rod 31. This keeps the main body 3, the cover 4, and the display component 41 provided on the cover 4 in a fixed position, so that the driving information on the display screen 411 can be viewed very conveniently. The relative position of the internal and external gears does not change, so that the wire threading opening 13 can always be kept in this position for normal wire threading.
