The linkage assembly includes a first crank, a connecting rod, and a second crank, which are rotatably connected to the two ends of the connecting rod. The first crank is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. The steering wheel assembly includes a support frame, a pivot, and a steering wheel body. The pivot is rotatably connected to the support frame, the steering wheel body is fixedly connected to one end of the pivot, and the second crank is fixedly connected to the other end of the pivot.
[0006] In the above technical solution: the servo motor is used to provide power; the linkage assembly is used to transmit power; the first crank, the connecting rod, and the second crank together constitute a double crank mechanism to correctly transmit the rotation of the servo motor; the support frame is used to set the remaining parts of the steering wheel assembly; the pivot is used to realize the rotational connection; and the steering wheel body is used as a decorative part of the simulation model car.
[0007] A further feature of this invention is that the lengths of the first crank and the second crank are the same.
[0008] In the above technical solution: the first crank and the second crank have the same length, so that the rotation angle output by the servo motor is consistent with the rotation angle of the shaft, which facilitates the programming of the servo motor.
[0009] A further feature of this invention is that a decorative lever is fixedly installed on each side of the support frame.
[0010] In the above technical solution, the decorative lever serves a decorative purpose.
[0011] A further feature of this invention is that a decorative lever is rotatably mounted on each side of the support frame.
[0012] In the above technical solution: the decorative lever with rotation is used to enhance immersion.
[0013] A further feature of this invention is that the support frame is provided with a limiting groove, and the rotating shaft is provided with a limiting step, the limiting step being engaged in the limiting groove.
[0014] In the above technical solution, the limiting slot and the limiting step work together to prevent the rotating shaft from moving axially.
[0015] This utility model discloses a linkage steering wheel system for a model car, which, compared with the prior art:
[0016] 1. This utility model, by setting up a servo motor and linkage assembly, enables the steering wheel of the simulation model car to rotate, thereby improving the immersive experience when operating the simulation model car;
