[0003] As shown in Figure 1 It is the product that foaming is completed, 01 is steering wheel framework, 02 is polyurethane foaming material, 03 is heating wire, 04 is leather, the framework heating of traditional steering wheel is accurately placed in mould with designed steering wheel framework 01, then polyurethane foaming material 02 is injected into mould, polyurethane foaming material 02 gradually expands and is closely combined with framework in mould by the heating effect of mould constant temperature machine after chemical reaction, form the basic structure layer of steering wheel framework 01, complete foaming work.

[0004] Heating wire 03 is attached to the outer surface of polyurethane foaming material 02 by glue, after completing first foaming, heating wire 03 is attached to the outer surface of polyurethane foaming material 02, and finally leather 04 is attached to heating wire 03 by glue.

[0005] Since only one polyurethane foaming material 02 exists some problems,

[0006] First, polyurethane foaming material 02 will cause internal defects, such as bubble, cavity or local density deficiency, in single foaming process due to uneven distribution of polyurethane foaming material 02, so that the heating effect of steering wheel framework 01 is uneven, and even in some areas, the expected heating effect cannot be achieved, and the product qualification rate is reduced.

[0007] Second, it is difficult to ensure the close combination between heating wire 03 and polyurethane foaming material 02, and it is prone to looseness or falling off in long-term use, thereby reducing product failure rate. UTILITY MODEL CONTENT

[0008] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a steering wheel framework foaming forming structure for improving product qualification rate and reducing failure rate.

[0009] To achieve the above object, the utility model provides the following technical scheme:

[0010] A steering wheel framework foaming forming structure, comprising steering wheel framework, first polyurethane foaming material, heating wire, second polyurethane foaming material and leather,

[0011] The first polyurethane foam material is arranged between the steering wheel skeleton and the heating wire on one side,

[0012] The second polyurethane foam material is arranged between the heating wire on the other side and the leather,

[0013] The first polyurethane foam material is fixedly connected with the steering wheel skeleton and the heating wire,

[0014] The second polyurethane foam material is fixedly connected with the heating wire,

[0015] The leather is fixedly connected with the second polyurethane foam material.

[0016] The utility model further sets up: the heating wire and the first polyurethane foam material are connected through the glue.

[0017] The utility model further sets up: the leather and the second polyurethane foam material are connected through the glue.

[0018] The utility model further sets up: the steering wheel skeleton adopts magnesium alloy.

[0019] By adopting the above technical scheme, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:

[0020] The first polyurethane foam material is first solidified on the steering wheel skeleton, the heating wire is adhered to the outer surface of the first polyurethane foam material, the second polyurethane foam material is solidified on the heating wire, and finally the leather is adhered to the outer surface of the second polyurethane foam material, the second polyurethane foam material is added between the heating wire and the leather, and the first polyurethane foam material is combined, thereby improving the product qualified rate and reducing the failure rate.
